One of the principal topics of dis
cussion, now, among our ~
the BEST soiling crops. rev nave -
vet concluded that IL is pest 10 Keep
a herd altogether by soiling; but all
agree that soiling crops are necessary
during our long dry spells, when the
feed refuses to grow abundantiy, anu
our cows 60 hungry and grow poor,
as we'll as shrink their flow OF mix.
1t strikes us that 1t Is not safe TO
depend entirely on any one crop
Many are disposed to trust alone =
sowed corn-the value OF which is
very much disputed. But OF what
avail ia sowed corn In a June or July
drouth? 1t comes to late to he oil
much use, except as autumn feed.
lit has been suggested that a crop
of rye should be put i'm each fall for
use, in case of a scarcity of feed, very
early in the season. Ii not needed
for soiling, il Is a valuable crop to be
allowed to come to maturity, and
cannot be a loss either way. Cattle
do not eat rye quite as we'll as clover
or n of the grasses; but they eat IT
very well, and it IL infinitely better
than starvation.
Orchard a and lucerne are very
highly recommended by some. Luz
cerne il the favorite soiling crop OF
the Messrs. Walcott e. Campbell, OF
York Mill, the well-known breeders
of Short Horns and Ayrshires, and
of long-wooled sheep. Cattle are
fond of it and do we'll on it. We
heard Mr.. Campbell say before the
Central New York Farmers Club
that he had cut four crops or Ii In
one season, averaging over two feet
growth to u crop, or nine feet Tor the
season.. 1t requires q deep. dry and
loose soil, well MANFRED. We appre-
bend that it will do well almost any
where that clover will. 1t can be
used for soiling purposes In June and
throughout the season.
Hon. Harris Lewis, of Herkimer
county, uses orchard grass mostly for
soiling purposes. His soil, though
thoroughly drained, would not grow
lucerne or clover so well. He says
he has cut 80 inches of growth OF
orchard grass in a single season.
He does not think 1t pays him to
grow sowed corn for soiling purposes,
and, from experiments made, Is of
the opinion that most farmers could
do better than to grow 1t. Yet, If
they can not grow any of the other
soiling crops to advantage, he would,
by all means, advise them to grow
corn.
We have our own daubts about the
profitableness of growing fodder
corn, unless it is sowed i'm drills and
and allowed to stand until 1t ears,
and is cut and wilted, If not cured.
w should much prefer the native
corn to the western, which is toe late
and two watery. Sweet corn is
greatly liked by some; but it is diff
cult to get seed that is sure. 1t CEN
tains a great deal of sugar, and cattle
are fond of it.
We think it will yet be found that
it is best to grow clover, lucerne, or
some of the grasses, for soiling pur-
poses. To do it successfully, q piece
of ground in a convenient place
should be made very rich and mel
low, and kept rich by constant ma.
nuring. 1t will probably require
about the same amount of manure
that it would to keep up the soil il
constantly plowed; but nothing else
is required but the gathering of the
CROP Utica Herald.

About Manure.

One thing the farmer can rely
upon and that is manure-and happi-
ly the main thing i'm farming-not
when he buries it deep down In the
soil and leaves 1t there, but when he
applies it on the surface and spreads
it evenly, and finely, aud closely on
the ground.
Manure IL our grain, our wool, our
beef, &c. The more we q use the
greater the profit, unless, like some
commercial manures, the cost Is
greater than the product. The dung
and urine of the animals, and the re-
fuse of the crops, are not only cheap
but also applicable to all crops, as
they are the debris of all. But still
a cheaper, and the cheapest of all, Is
to grow heavy crops especially clover,
and turn down. This may be done
with some of the forage plants-a
first cutting secured and the Sec
ond turned down. And, remember.
a clover crop, however iheavy, Is not
exhaustive to the soil; it fills 1t
with roots, long and thick, and
close; and though q crop, say of
three tons, be taken, the second crop
of equal, or nearly equal amount,
may be turned down. This crop,
with the roots and the mellowness
of the soil, caused by the expansion
of the roots, will be n of the best
preparations for almost or quite any
crop, corn, roots, but particularly
wheat. You thus manure your land
richly, and get a good crop while do
ing it, no drawing, no composing,
no scraping, no saving. The reason
is, you get it from a free source-or
the grain gets it for you--from the
atmosphere, This is all known, yet
farmers are not growing clover as
much as they should, particularly
as heavy as they should, preparing the
land, sowing thick, and using ma
nure, as t0p-dressing, to give a start.
There il little danger of an excessive
growth of straw at the expense OF the
berry with clover manure rs ii readi-
~ rots, and the roots make n good
distribution through the land, max.
ing "old" manure (rottedl, or soil
ready for plant food, the land being
greatly mechanically benefited.

Dfstflling From Garbage.

They r again agitating the dis.
tillation of spirits from the garbage

bread or a reeking garbage vessel. In
this new process the garbage is gath.

for several hours, the grease is then
carefully skinned off for soap.mak-
ing purposes, and the pulpy mass fer.
mented and distilled. The refuse
goes to tho cornfield, the peach orch
ard, or the vineyard. A barrel of
garbage yields three pounds of soap
grease and four gallons of preof
spirits. The philosophical and chem.
ical mind may know that whisky
distilled from garbage is as pure and
clearly as that which come from
corn f; but for a steady beverage the
ordinary drunkard will doubtless
prefer sound bourbon or old rye.

A gentleman who was burned out
by Peshtigo fire. and who spent that
dreadful night in the river, tells the
following incident of the indomitable
energy of a woman: She was at the
Lower Sugar Bush when the fire
broke out there, and, mounting a
horse with her only child, a year and
a half old, fled to Peshtigo, four miles
away. Arriving there, she found
the village in flames, and, dismount.
ing from her horse, she sent him off
to seek his own safety and plunged
into the river with her baby. Here
she spent the night in safety and
next morning was taken to the lower
town, at the mouth of the river
Within a day after her arrival she
gave birth to another child, and we
hear that the mother aud two chill
dren are doing well.
