CARE OF SUCKING CoLTs.-Those who raise
colts, usually exercise care in the selection Of
good stock to breed from; but a great many
neglect to give the colts proper attention
during hot weather while they are running
with dams. 1t is not I'm common 80 see those
that wer healthy and well developed in ear
ly summer looking puny and poor, and their
hair falling off before autumn. The trouble
arises from allowing the colt to draw milk
while the blood OF the mare is in a high state
of heat from violent exertiOns.
W hen the dam is used IN hot weather upon
the farm or road, 50 as to heat her blood, the
colt should never be allowed to suck until
she has fully cooled off. Let him fill himself
before the mother is put in the harness, and
If it is important that he should accompany
the dam, tie him at her side so that he will
be unable to draw milk until he is liberated !;
for it is much better that be should 20 hun
cry few hours than to take his food while
1t is in fevered state.
Ii the mare is TO make long distance in
hot day, and return at night, it is best 70
cave the colt at home, and draw the milk
from the udder by hand once or twice during
the day and upon returning, then allow the
colt to fill himself gradually as the milk is

Moss N PASTURES F. b. Palmer, Centre
willie, N Y, writes to the New York Farm
er's Club. that the farmers in that vicicity
are mostly engaged in dairying. Many
with myself have large pastures where the
land is naturally good, but the grass Is run
ming out, and a dark, green messy substance
Is taking it's place. Can such land be eco
nomically reclaimed, and grass be made 20
grow by any top dressing other than barn
yard manure? If we plough up such land
and re-seed it, it will be all right again, but
the pastures are situated that 1t would
make much inconvenience to do 50. If men
who have had experience in such matters, be-
longing to your Club, can give US some good,
practical advice we shall be much obliged >
In response, the application of lime was
recommended by several parties but Col
Curtis said lime, nor barnyard manure, nor
nything else short of ploughing would de-
strOy the moss which was getting possession
of the pasture lands and then it would re-
turn and occupy them after few years.
such had boon Deacon Reads experience
asJ. The Commander had put two tons OF
bone dust on the three acres, Overrun with
moss, and grass grew thereafter without fail
Mr. Smith had low-lying meadow covered
with moss and unproductIve of grass, which
he first drained. Part oil it he lined and the
grass crop improved another part was ma

applying plaster and ammonIacal manure

to extermInate moss forever any more than
weeds. If you do not give the soil some
thing else to do and something to do it with
it will grow only moss ; and moss, even if

INCREASING THE QUANTITY OF BUTTER.-A
correspondent writes us as follows :" | was
among the farmers of CRANKY Center, Owego
Co., n. Y, few days since had some
talk with them in regard to improving butter.
Among those whom | met was Mrs. Bristol
who stated that she had seen it recommends /
in the Rural Ne,o Yorker that in butter
making it was of advantage to strain the
cream before churniDg. She had been try
ing the plan since that time, or since last
October, and had found it a decided improve
ment. 1t increased the quantity OF butter,
and by following out the suggestion in their
own dairy she had been enabled to make
enough more butter to pay for the years
to the Rural. This is from
lady that understands how her butter is
made, and is ready to adopt a new plan if
is good common sense. Rural Nel0 Yorker

Tea CULTURE.-Hon. w. G.. Howard
writing to the Department Of Agricu lture
from San Antonio, Texas, says that the cul-
ture of the tea plant and manufacture Of the
tea is a much easier thing than some people i'm

knows that neither frost nor snow, drOuth
nor rain, sunshine nor shadow, material Y

the visitation Of any worm, bug or disease. :"
rhe cultivation requires but little manual
labor, and that is confined to the picking of
the leaves, which can be we'll done by women
and children. When once planted all it re-
quires is to be kept free from weeds, which
could be done with plow the same as with
Indian corn. . Should one Government"

PRoF. NoELCKER's OPINION OF ASHES
Our faith in the value of wood ashes as
fertilizer has always been strong, and we
have often taken occasion TO present testimo-
ny Of their worth, from whatever reliable
source, practical or theoretical, it could be
obtained. That which follows is from Prof.
Voelcker, the eminent agricultural chemist,
without doubt the highest authority upon
such matters in Great Britain. 1t occurs
in some remarks of his before the council Of
the Royal Agricultural Society Of England, ,
in which he stared that besides containing
potash wood ashes also contained phosphate
of lime in considerable quantity, car
Donate Of lime. He then said 1" The appli-
cation OF wood ashes amounts 70 the same
thing as dressing Of bones, dressing Of
potash, Il dressing OF gypsum, and dress
ing of mari and this must surely prove the
great value Of wood ashes over potash, as that
contains only one Of the above constituents
There is a good deal of potash in ashes, and
although they have been washed (leached),
they still form silica Of potash After the
above, we place greater confidence than ever
in ashes, and can with more faith urge our
far uers 10 save and apply them to the land.
just think of it-by using ashes you are the
same as 8 applying a dressing of potash, a
dressing Of bones, dressing OF mari
Therefore, save every bushel Of ashes, leached
or unleached, on your farms

fowls they have been accused Of not being
