Ashes as . Cattle Feed.

In a late number of the Maine
Farmer a gentlemen gives his experi-
ense in treating neat stock affected
withia habit Of eating wood, chewing
bones, &c. His cattle were one spring
affected in this way, they became thin
in flesh, refusing to eat hay, and pre-.
sented a sickly appearance. He had
III impression that their food lacked
the constituents for making bore, but
his neighbors used bone meal, With.
out noticing any good results whatcv-
or. Last spring he put about -four
bushels of leached ashes in his barn.
yard, and threw ont to them about a
shovel full each day. They all eat il
with evident relish. After turning
them out to pasture, he put one peck
of dry ashes per week on the ground
in the pasture. They ate, it al up and
gnawed off the grass where it had
tccn lying. The cattle began to I'M
prove, gaining flesh and looking bet
ter than they had for several wears.
lie says that this morbid appetite was
u%nnoticed years ago, from the fact
that the land was new aud ".ashey :
from the burning of the wood and
land .clearings, He has another proof
Of The value Of ashes for stock from
this incident. He had a large tub full
of lcached ashes which remained it il
for some time. 1t was afterwards
used as a watering tub and when the
cattle drank from it, they would lick
and gnaw the sides and bottom of the
tub, actually biting out pieces and
eating them. Latterly he gives one
quart of ashes mixed with the same
quantity of salt, 10 twelve head OF
cattle, about once a week, and finds il
to agree with them wonderfully.

A Steam Plow at Work. :

The Yicksburg, Herald gives the
following description'Of y steam plOw
at work OIL the plantation of Gen.
Wade Hampton, near kipwith's
Landing, Miss: ~ slft- ~
1t consists of two portable engines,
which are so made that they run
themselves without the did of horse
power over any road tOr field.4 The
engines are placed at opposite sides of
the field, and by means of wire ropes,
four hundred and three yards long,
draw a gang of plows from IN side TO
the other. The pfows cut the soil to
to any depth required and at a rapid
rate, faster than q man a walk.
There are different sets of plows, for
subsoiling, for deep and shallow plow-
ing, for extracting roots, and for ma
king cotton beds. The latter is tfe
most interesting, and makes a COM
plete cotton bed, Of otefo five feet
wide at one operation. They pl0w
on an average of twenty-five to thir-
ty-fve acres daily, and can dooeven
more ON loose soil. The engines are
also useful formucE other work. The
General has & large saw mill which
these machines take with them to the
woods to cut lumber and make fenc.
ing. The heavy and broad iron
wheels of the engines help to make
good roads, and there is no better
road i'm tie country than the one
through Hamptons Walnut Ridge
plantation, five miles long. A few
days ago one of these engines came
down TO the wharfboat at 'Skipwith
|, with six large wagons in tow. These
were placed on the boat, heavily, La
dened with lumber, and the train y
then started for home at a lively rate,
crossing one Of the leyees. 1t would
have taken twenty-fOur good mules
10 have pulled those loads. Another
time the engine was "hitched' to a
good sized house and moved it back
from the river bank several hundred
yards i'm about twenty minutes, as fast
as the men could keep the rollers un-
der it. lft is. the ~fiitention Of Gen.
Hampton to make these engines haul
all his cotton to the river this season
when the weather is favorable.

For FatteRing Poultry.

" ~ D
From Geyelin's valuable work on
Poultry Breeding, we make the fol-
lowing extracts: nl- 81.
When once poultry is pcnnedup for
fattening the diet ought not to be va
ried. s fsil .t1sff
There are three different ways adop-
ted in feeding ponltry for ~fattening +:
l. A free feeding, consisting of sup
plying a fowl with food and water dd
HJitHm. This takes mich longer
time, is more expensive, and less sat-
isfactory in the flesh. .i'4F ---..
,. Forced dry feeding, which con-
sists of examining the fowl with pills
of the pOultaceous food twice or three
times a day, and giving water al Id
Hum. g..,r nina
3. Forced liquid feeding consists of
reducing the poultaceous food to a
liquid state with milk and water, then
pour it down tho fowls gullet by
means of a funnel, three times a day
and not TO supply them with any
PREPARATION OF Il FATTENING FOOD
fowls. d
Barley meal, or mixed in cqua,
quantity with Indian meal, made in
10 a stiff paste with milk and water,
and seasoned with bay salt.
This paste then is either made IL
quid, for liquid feeding. or into pills,
which should be dipped into milk and
water before they arc given, so as to
facilitate the swallowing.
Experiments have proved that the
seasoning poultry food with bay salt
produces the following advantages:
l. TO render the fattening of short
Ell duration. rai
) 2.ITo produce, with tlic same guam
tity offood, more.hesh andfat.
3. To give the flesh greater tirmness
and flavor, and to the fat more COM
pactness and a finer grain. a.
Molasscs and sugar mixed with the
meat has also good fattening qualities.
The duration of ~fattening must much
depend OH the condition, health, and
age of the. fowl and in this, the same
as in administering the food, actual
experience is the best teacher, as no
rules can well be laid down.

Intelligent and observing tillers of
the soil in. almost every section of the
country where the drouth has prevails
ed to any considerable extent during
the past season, have been strikingly
impressed with the surprising advan-
tages to- the growing scropss arising
from thorouglrdfainage of heavy soils
in connection with deep tillage and
abundant fertilization of the seed-bed.
When the water-line Of a heavy soil
that is disposed to be wet, is sunk by
means of a system oftborough UNDER
draining, say thirty or more inches
beneath the surface of the soil, if the
secdlbed be broken up deep, the fine
ly comminuted soil will retain a much
larger quantity of moisture in dry and
hot weather, than if there were no
understands. As the soil is deepen
ed by understanding and deep
plougEing, the capacity to absorb
moisture from the atmosphere is
greatly augmented. Hence, in a dry
season, if the seed-bed be broken up
deep, the roots of growing plants
spread farther in every direction
through the soil; sud as the mellow
earth will absorb a much larger guam
tity Of moisture than if the entire
strata were one solid mass, every
growing plant is, in q great measure,
fortified against the trying influences
Of hot and dry weather. Under-drain-
ing and deep ploughing, in numerous
instances, have been the means of
saving large crops from utter ruin by
protracted dronth. a Hence, many
farmers have been led 10 appreciate
the advantages of Undertaking and
deep tillage where the soil was heavy,
as they have never done before. 1t
will pay well to under-drain wet land
and to plough it deep, whether the
growing season is to be too wet or too
dry. tiHr rif I'd t bra91al7'
