Light Harness.

Farm work during the hot summer
months requires only the lightest harness.
Wooden collars are now used, with great
comfort to the horse. In the cities the har-
ness worn by street railroad horses is as
scant as is consistent with the work they
have to perform. Teams may often be
seen blowing in the hot days of July and
August in the harness they wore during
the winter. This is unnecessary nay. it
sometimes amounts to positive cruelty
Remove every supertluOus strap, take
away the back-strap and crupper-band,
and let the air circulate freely around the
body. At night, when work is over, wash
the sweat and dust from the legs and thighs
of the horse a dash of water on his TANKS
would be grateful to him. Let his stable
be airy and clean, with a bed of clean
straw. Kindness to these serviceable ami
mails is the truest economy. Besides we
feel better when our horses are made COM
Portable; and the sensation is akin to that
derived from doing benevolent action. A
sensitive man cannot see horse sweating
under, and CALLED by heavy harness du-
ring summer day, without sympathy
and pity, nor can he retire to rest with an
easy conscience knowing that his faithful
servants in the stable are improperly cared
for and suffering. "The righteous man
regar dcth the life of his beast"

DissOlying Bones.

There are great many bones wasted on
almost every farm in the State, which, if
properly reduced and utilized, would add
much TO the mature heap. Mr.. W. H.
W., of Reading, Mass, gives the following
as his plan for dissolving bones:
/ have large water-tight hogshead
standing outdoors near the kitchen. In
the spring l cover the bottom about six
inches with dry soil. On this put lay
er of homes of about the same depth, and
cover them entirely with unleached ashes.
On these another layer of bones, then ash
es, and so oil until the hogshead is full. |
leave it then exposed to the rains all sum-
mer and winter, until the next spring.
Then ON removing the contents Of tue
hogshead, / find nearly all the bones so
soft that they will crumble to powder un-
der very slight pressure and mixed with
the ashes and the soil, they give me a nice
little pile of most valuable manure ready
for immediate use. ANY of the bones not
sufficiently subdued, / return TO the hogs
head gain for another twelve months slum-
Der. In this way have had no difficulty
in transforming all the bones can get in
to bore meal. / buy them directly from
the butcher at dollar a hundred bounds,
for the purpose Of turning them thus into
manure, and consider them the cheapest
fertilizer i can obtain,

Corn Planting and Growing.

A correspondent of the Farmers onion
offers a few words on the subject of corn
planting and growing, and as the time is
at hand for farmers to lay out their plans
for the forthcoming corn crop, we transfer
his ideas to our columns. He says:
In raising corn the crop should be put
into the ground not only for his own profit,
but also with a view to future crops that
the farmer may desire to raise afterwa ard.
l would recommend to lay off the ground
for planting, at least four feet and half
the north or south way, so that the sun
may have fair chance, which is the best
meliorator that can possibly be found,
when the conditions are right for its con-
genial influence. The east and west way
/ would lay out about two and a half or
three feet, and let remain in the hill two
stalks only. | would recommend that
planting should be done earlier in the sea-
son, by about eight or ten days, than the
majority of the farmers are in the habit of
doing in this vicinity. L have noticed
that as general thing early planting has
produced the best results by far.
Before planting be sure that your seed
is good, for If it is not, you will he likely
not only to lose your crop, but your ground
will be neglected and your future crop will
be affected by the neglect.
1t is certain fact that working land and
exposing it to the elements produces what
/ call chemical action, which is bene-
time it is stirred produces a new action. I
don't believe it will have SO good an effect
to stir it too often, neither must it be too
long after it has been stirred. AS a gem
eral rule, it should be gone through with
just the day before the weeds make their
appearance at the surface. / have often
heard farmers say, My corn is perfectly
clean it is not necessary to 90 through
1t" All l understand, not necessary, in
order TO kill the weeds, but should there
not be weed grow through the whole
season, you would not go through it at all,
| suppose. Not so, however. Go through
IT just as often, not necessarily to work
deep, but the shallower the better, if it is
clean. Plow deep aud work shallow and
often, Is the rule. Should recommend that
the rows be marked very plain, so that
they can be gone through with by the
time the corn is fairly out of the ground,
then the weeds will be out of the way for
the season. Don't neglect this last sug-
gestion. Observe the foregoing, and my
word for it, II any one in the neighborhood
has good corn, you will be the man, aud /
your land will be improved also.

The Fair Grounds-Thanks.

ON behalf of the Board of Directors OF
our Fair, and on behalf of its friends,
return our most grateful thanks to Messrs.
Ellwanger & Barry, the proprietors of the
grand nursery of six hundred acres at
Rochester, New York, for their muniticent
gift of 100 evergreen trees, to plant in our
fair grounds, which they inform me they
will contribute. These gentlemen are at
the head of their department in the Unit
ed States, and | know from five years eN-
perience that they are both reliable and
qentlena1lly. Such generosity by strang-
ers deserves return in the way of liberal
patronage, though that was not the motive
that prompted these gentlemen. Here is
an example for our own people.
At the same time, l wish to return
thanks to the gentleman from the country
who left at Messrs. Coffman & Atkins q
large lot Of forest trees for the fair grounds.
He did not leave his name, and therefore,
l cannot mention it. But whoever he is,
he has the right spirit and has our most
hearty thanks. Such men will succeed
May be live to set under the shade of his
beautiful elms, when they shall stretch
forth their long and strong arms
Let others initiate him. We want o
thousand trees. In digging the trees, re-
member to leave tong roots, and do
not split or bruise them, but cut
the roots with sharp Instruments so as to
make small cut. This is very impor-
tant. Remember, sugar trees elm sweet
gum and ash are the trees we want. A
few poplars, walnuts and pines will be ac-
ceptabfe, provided extra care is taken to
get them up without any injury to their
roots. Good, sound, long and uubruised
roots are everything; the top of the tree
is Of but little importance. We want
smooth and straight bodies. 1t is useless
to send trees with short, bruised or split
roots. We do not want them, they won't
grow, and such will not be counted in
awarding the premium tickets. We do
not want any box elders.
will give free ticket to the man and
his family, for the next Fair, who brings
in the largest and best lot of trees for the
Fair grounds; and free ticket to the man
and his wife who brings the second lar
gest and best lot, and free ticket for the
man himself who brings the third largest
and best lot. The successful names to be
announced in the papers. Now is the
time, lin February, to get up the trees.
Let the trees be left with Messrs. Gum
d French, at their nursery grounds, OH

at Coffman d Atkins.

The dmericun Agriculturist says the sod
makes the corn. This may be taken as an
axiom, as undoubted that straight line Is
the shortest distance between two points
II the sod Is right the corn can take care
of itself. What is wanted il mass of
roots, filing the soil to the depth of three
four, or five inches or more, and such a
mat of vegetation on the surface a. will in
evitably belong to such mass Of roots.
Now, what such an amount of vegetable
matter, easily decomposed, and such as corn
loves to live upon, would measure, can
easily be estimated. II would be within
bounds to say that there would be on every
square rod of ground ninety-ninc cubic
feet of matter equal in fertili,iug power to
average barn-yard manure. This is over
three-quarters of a cord per square rod: and
$50 rods going to make up an acre, there
would bc over 10 cords of manure to the
acre. This amount of barn yard manure
would seem perfectly bewildered to far
mer, and would be beyond the power of
many to haul out and spread And here
ii is on the spot, in the most perfect shape
possible to be utilized. Does it, then, need
any further argument to show clearly that
u heavy sod is the best, cheapest and most
economical manure farmer can procure or
invent The vexed question ofwhether one
should plow deep or shallow for corn, here
gets a satisfactory and simple reply. With
such sod, or any sod, we may say, one
must pillow sufficiently deep to get enough
loose soil on the top to allow the harrow to
work and make a seed-bed. No more, no
less. Tennessee Agricutturuiists.
