Making the Root Crop a Certaiaty.

WE raise our root crops on land cult
waited too shallow. This is a great, a gen.
eral, a crying evil. There wants to be
deep tillage, the subsoil pillow used thor
oughly, an implement used too little now
s-days, and when used, not sufficiently.
Fine the land for twenty inches or more.
If all this depth is mellow yet compact
somewhat, draining itself readily, yet adj
hitting the air, and if the crop is put out
early-as early as possible-sO as to get
the start of the prospective drought OF
midsummer; if weeds are kept out and the
soil in good motion, stirring it well and
often; if, withal, the land is rich and nottoo
direct in the sun-not on a south hillside,
but a north rather-ifa all these things are
rigidly seen to, there will not, there can
not be failure of a good crop. A severe
drought will not prevent it, nor a rainy
season the cool fall will perfect what the
summer advanced. The great depth of
soil is good for the moisture, where the
roots have a chance to penetrate and luxu-
rate eve with a raging sun overhead.
But the land wants to be fertile, and if the
manure is put down it will not hurt it for
that crop; the roots will find it, and the
work will go on with vigor. The manure
should be spread and permitted to lie for
some time, for weeks, better for months.
The soil Immediately below will then have
received much of its strength, and when it
goes under, soil and manure are both rich,
and will form a good bed for the roots.
The best success | ever saw was a field
treated in this way, horse manur being
turned down. The soil vas deep; there
was a great drought, but in the fall it push
ed forward the manure then drove. aided
by the rains. 1t was a crop of carrots. 1t
is the depth of cultivation and the manure
that have q wonderful virture, the very
things that are neglected. We use ma
nure, but not enough, not mixed with the
soil sufficiently, through its juices first, and
then by the pillow. We like sod for roots /;
but let it be rotted and made mellow by
after plo6ing and ~cultivating. This last
has been among our best experiences.
We can then secure a root crop with
certainty. Why not do It? Why run
risks? We know what they are; in too
many cases they are a loss, and this no one
can afford, for the loss is not a common
one according to the amount of land used /;
good soil is selected, unusual labor expend-
ed. Make the soil still better, devote more
labor to it, judiciously, and this loss will
be avoided; in its place will be acrop that
will pay for all, with a fair margin to boot ;
and such a crop, where the drought is
fought, is more nutritious than where wa
ter has been imbibed; there is more con-
centration, more excellent stuff. AS the
seasons now run, we must expect drought,
and depth of soil for moisture, and manure
TO drive must be relied upon to overcome
it-C0untry Gentleman.

Uses of Ashes.

Dry, clean wood ashes are richly worth
twenty-five cents a bushel, we think, to
any farmer who wants more manure. You
can scarcely use them on any crop without
very sinsible results. A handful thrown
around the corn plants at the first hoeing
will greatly increase their growth, and
give them a highly dark green color.
Scattered in the hill before the potato is
covered, or about the hill lust before hoe
ing, will have similar results. SOwn broad
cast on the moving fields at the rate of as
small an amount as five bushels to the
acre, will greatly increase the growth and
color of the crop. Besides this, their ben
efcial results will continue for several
wears in succession. Strewed over young
cabbage plants, squashes, melons, or any
of the garden vegetables, such as toma-
toes, beets, onions, turnips or carrots, wood
ashes not only tend TO disturb the insects
that infest the plants, but has a decided
influence on their growth and quality. All
the ashes made on the farm should be col
lected with care, kept dry and applied to
the crops. Nothing could be better for
the young orchard. Spreading ashes broad
cast over the surface would be more use
full than as a mulch for the trees. The
roots will soon find it if spread. 1t is bet
ter to use a moderate quantity annually,
than TO apply q large amount at one time
Ashes may be safely used in composts
of loan, muck, straw, or dry fbrous ma
terials they would tend ID reduce them.
Ii in composts, where the droppings Of
cattle are a portion of the material, the
ashes should be applied Immediately be,
fore the compost is to be used-and the
compost be slightly covered by the soil
The easiest and best way, however, is to
apply ashes in a dry state and unmixed.-

LIaseed Tea for Sick Horses.

LNsEED tea is not only valuable as a
restorative for sick horses, but is exceed
ingly useful in cases of Inflammation of
the membranes peculiar to the organs Of
respiration and digestion; it shields and
~lubricates the same; tranquilizes the irri-
table parts, and favors healthy action. We
have prescribed linseed tea in large guam
titles, for horses laborilg under the pre-
vailing influenza; they seemed to derive
much benefit from it, and generally drank
it with avidity. Aside from the benefits
we derive from the action of mucilage and
oil which the seed contains, its nutritive
elements are of some account, especially
when given to animals laboring under
soreness in the organs of deglutition,
which incapacitates from swallowin G
more solid food. In the event
of an animal becoming Frustrated by ina
bility TO masticate or swallow more food,
linseed tea may be resorted to, and in case
of irritable cough, the addition of a little
honey makes it still more useful. In the
latter form it may be given to animals
laboring under acute or chronic diseases OF
the urinary apparatus, more especially OF
the kidneys. To prepare linseed tea, put
a couple of handfuls Of seed into a
bucket, a pour a gallon and a half of boil
ing water upon it. Cover it up a short
time, then add a couple of quarts of cold
water, when it will be fit for use.-AmeTE-

Home Manufacture.

Two old plowmen down East were tell.

be conveniently cut and gathered by at
taching a light frame behind the cutter

it with a piece of cotton cloth. The heads
will fall on this cloth, and may be raked
together by a boy following; when a suf-
fcient quantity has been gathered one
sweep of the rake will leave them on the
ground in a heap. Being, at this season,
almost free from sap and moisture, seed
clover is very easily cured. A wetting
with rain, and subsequent drying, will

Oil.Meal for Cows and Calves in Sum-
mer.

WHEN COWS are 1 profit, a little extra
feed, in the shape ofoil meal, will be amply
repaid in the yield of milk and butter. 1t
must not be supposed that because a COW
is on pasture there is no longer need for
stimulating food. The fact is, that with
an ample supply of grass, the appetite of
the cow for the meal is quite as vigorous
as during the winter, when she was fed on
hay. Cows may be very proftsbly fed
with a quart each of oil-meal morning and
night. They will lick it up from a trough,
if it is made sufficiently large, without
night, a good plane of feeding them is to
have a square box for each COW, large
enough for her to put her nose in easily,
and six inches deep. Put the allowance
of meal in these boxes. They may be
scattered about the yard, at such a distance
as will give each animal an opportunity to
eat without being driven away by others.
Calves will soon show, intheir improved
appearance and fastened growth, that oil
meal is good for them also. A small
handful given them in their pasture daily
will push them forward rapidly. 1t is well
to use q small tin pan to feed them with,
and a few minutes spent with the young
stock daily is not only an agreeable occu-
patton, but highly profitable for the more
regularly the owners attention is given to
his cattle, the sooner he will perceive any
thing wrong, and be able at once to remedy
it. and a daily visit is seldom made unless
there is some express purpose in it. Let
the purpose then be to give them a little
extra feed, and a double benefit will result.

To Make Current Wine.

THE currants should be fully ripe when
picked; put them in g large tub, in which
they should remain a day or two, then
crush with the hands, unless you have a
small patent wine press, in which they
should not be pressed too much, or the
stems will be bruised and impart a a dis
agreeable taste to the juice. If the hands
are used, put the crushed fruit, after the
Juice has been poured of, in q cloth or
sack and press out the remaining juice.
Put the Juice back in the tub after cleans
ing il, where it should remain about three
days, until the first stage of fermenta-
ton is over, and removing nce or twice
a day the scum copiously arising to the
top. Then put the juice in a yessel-a
demijohn, keg or barrel-any size to suit
the quantity made, and to each quart of
Juice add three pounds of the best yellow
sugar, and soft water sufficient to make a
gallon. Thus, ten quarts of juice and
thirty pounds of sugar will give you ten
gallons of wine, and so on in that pro-
portion. Those who do not like sweet
wine can reduce the quantity Of sugar TO
21%, or, who wish it very sweet, raise it to
3% pounds per gallon. The vessel must

Poisoned to Death.

A healthy liver secretes each day aboUttwO
and a half pounds of bile, which contains a
great amount of waste material taken from
the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or
congested, it falls to eliminate this vast
amount of noxious substance, which, there
fore, remains to poison the blood and be con-
yeyed to every part of the system. What
must be the condition of the blood when it
is receiving and retaining each day two and a
half pounds of poison? Nature tries to work
off this poison through other channels and
organs-the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc. but
theseiorgans become overtaxed in performing
this labor, in addition to their natural func
tions, and cannot long Withstand the press

wise occur, and add much to the durability of

shaft if large articles disconnect them, they
are entirely useless. This is very important,
