Fertilizing Properties of Bones.


1t is neither the gelatine or glue which
holds the particles of bone together, nor
the lime of which they are composed,
which gives activity to vegetable growth
alone, but the phosphorus in them, that
inflamable material of which matches are
manufactured, known in its combination
as phosphate of lime, that plants seize
upon with avidity as food Nothing else
within the range of agricultural eXpe-
rience so rapidly develops the cellular
structure.
To be most useful, the bones should be
pulverized, that enables water to make a
quicker solution of the phosphate which
the minute rootlets Immediately absorb
and circulate in the shaft, leaves and fruit.
Save the bones, therefore. Let nothing
go to waste. There are actual treasures
concealed in dry bone if the right course
is pursued to extract them.
In the skeleton of horse, an or, or
even i'll dogs and cats, there are from
about one to four pounds of pure phos-
phorus. The carcass of any of those ami
mails, cut up and distributed among fruit
trees, instead of being buried out of the
way as a nuisance, would be to them a
rich entertainment of delicious food.

Distemper in Horses.

The following observations on this we'll
known disease we clip from Moorc's Ru-
rat Ncar Yorker
We have seen several inquiries as to the
best mode of treating horse distemper. In
response we copy the following from Prof.
Managers work on Educating Horses.n
He says: This is another form of sore
throat familiar to every one. Its design
seems to be to throw some poisonous mat
ter from the system, and the object should
be to keep the strength of the animal up
and hasten suppuration.
The horse is out of sorts; the neck be-
comes sore and stiff; an enlargement APP
pears, which is first hard and tender; there
is some discharge from the nose. The case
usually grows worse, if very severe, often
threatening to cause suftocation /; horse I'M
able to eat or drink but little, and strength
is lost rapidly.
Use freely poultice made of wheat bran
and warm vinegar, changing as often as the
poultice becomes dry, using the eight-tailed
bandage, until the enlargement becomes
soft and can be opened, when relief will be
prompt. Or the following treatment may
be adopted, which is similar, and if the al
teration is not good, is preferable Take
spirits of turpentine, two parts spirits OF
camphor, one part laudanum, one part
Put this on the neck with brush, if con-
venient, or any way to apply it without
exciting pain, three or four times day,
until soreness is caused. After each APP,
plication have ready three or four pieces
of flannel which should be thick article
put these over the parts and bind with the
eight-tailed bandage. When the tumol
points, open it, and be sure that the mat
ter has thorough outlet. Sometimes the
inflammation is so deep as to cause serious
soreness and swelling of the throat. IL
this case the horse must be nursed careful
ly, by feeding with warm Cruel the
drink should be warm grass or anything
en-. Simpler treatment would be rubbing
on the enlargement an ordinary fiy-blister
TO bring the enlargement to to head

Sharpen the Hoe.

GAS dull as Hoe' is an old favorite
comparison, and it seems cruel to rob it of
its aforetime poetry. But a free use of file
or grindstone is as rough on the compari-
son as to the keen hoe is ON the weeds
We have seen hoes that were worn out,
never having been sharpened, because a
sharp hoe soon wears out; although the
extra labor in day needed to destroy the
weeds or move the soil with dull instru-
ment would equal the cost new hoe.
Certainly it is poor economy to save the
wear of the hoe, of necessity only half
killing the weeds, and making heavy toll
of otherwise light work. A file, even an
old one. cleaned with some diluted acid,
will answer every purpose, or a grindstone
if one has no file. Never mind if stone
or gravel do dull; a sharp hoe carefully
used will accomplish more than the noisy
grubbing of a dull one. We take pleasure
in seeing the hoe daily narrow up and the
corners gradually round off, for honorable
age and constant service benefits the hoe,
making the blade thinner and smaller.
Sharpen the hoe, then-first, to save hard
labor; second, to do neater, cleaner work
third, to keep it bright; finally, to have
the pleasure of seeing it grow old in the
service.-COr. of Country Gentleman

" killing the Goose That Laid the GOlden
Ecevs

Your intelligent correspondent, Zone
who has no sheep to sell /" calls the atten-
ton of your readers to an important ques-
ton propoundcd at the late Farmers
Convention" by the undersigned to the
effect whether or not the hundreds of
sheep recently murdered in this commu-
nifty merely for the hides will be replaced
on the farm.
In the first place l wish to make an ex-
planatory remark with regard to this
wholesale murder of sheep in question. A
few months ago, either for the hides or for
the wool, or for both, a terrible slaughter
was inaugurated among them and the re-
suit was that over one thousand sheep
We're knocked on the head and killed. 1t
is said that the city of Chattanooga bought
a portion of the carcass for venison Hap
py delusion 7! This numbering took place
on the heels of winter when the animals
were very poor and were unfit for con-
sumption. Indeed, in nearly every in
stance the carcasses were left on the
ground to be devoured by the
hogs and dogs. For one j was
so impressed with the seeming cruelty of
this operation, to say nothing of the inju-
roius effects upon sheep husbandry in East
Tennessee, that L felt strongly inclin ed
to bring the matter to the attention of our
approaching Legislature in order to pass
some law by which stop might be put to
this mode of destroying the sheep. Those
who owned the sheep were pdrticeps
crimi,'is. 1 presume they knew that they
would be killed precisely in the way indi-
Gated. Hence they were not only par
takers of the crime, but they have infiict-
ed huge wrong upon the country. They
have deprived it of hundreds of this most
valuable animal. 1t will actually take
years to repair the damage done to our
wool and mutton interests. We had but
few sheep before, and thus, between the
dogs and this wholesale slaughter,
we now have still less. When will our
people learn wisdom? / am aware, to
be sure, that our stock of sheep are
not the best in the world, but they could
be easily improved by crossing them ON
well-bred bucks, which would not cost a
large sum-at least there are none of our
farmers but what are able to buy them.
Stop, then, this wholesale murder of the
sheep. Take care of them, and cross them
upon superior race, and the change for
the better will soon be apparent.

4 Plea for the Sheen.

The following is from an esteemed COR
respondent, from whom we hope to hear
from frequently on this and kindred sub
jects:
PARKsvILLE, Tenn, May 31st., 1872.
At the late Farmers Convention at
Knoxville, Mr.. Charlton referred to the
remarkable fact, that large flock of sheep
Were slaughtered every week at Knoxville,
mainly for their fieeces, and asks the i'm
portant question "Will these sheep be
replaced on the farm ?n
AS nobody answered it at the Couven-
ton, and the matter Is too important to
East Tennessee Farmers to let it drop.
The writer takes the liberty to answer it
with very loud no and to protest most
solemnly against their wholesale slaugh-
ter of the innocents. 1t is nothing else but
killing the goose that laid the golden egg.
There is no doubt that great many of
those that have sold intend to replace their
sheep, probably with better kind, but it
is very certain they will not be able to do
so, at least only to a very limited extent.
When they come to try they will find
that the price of sheep, especially good
sheep is considerably higher than antici-
pated. The consequence is, a great many
will not buy at all T; others will buy few
sheep at a distance, so as to be sure to get
something good,) and pay freight and
charges and get sheep not used to our eli
mate, feed and treatment. AS natural
consequence their flock will not increase
as fast as expected, and when they finally
get a flock of any size, the price of wool
will probably be down to the old mark.
No, the proper mode to make wool grow
ing a success here in East Tennessee is to
keep our sheep, especially the ewes, to
buy good buck of better stock and grad
ually increase aud improve our fiocks.

CONDITION POWDER FOR HORSES. The
Turf, Field and Farm says those keeping
horses should twice a week throw in a
handful of salt and ashes. Mix them by
putting in three parts of salt to one of
ashes. Horses relish this and it will keep
their hair soft and fine. 1t will prevent
bots, collie, etc. A little ground sulphur
mixed with salt and ashes, and given
once in two or three weeks is also benefi-
cial; Al domesticsss6},Sipelals will be thus

MANURE FOR CORN AND POTATOES
Some farmers handle their manure wrong,
in my opinion--especially with reference to
potato and corn crops. The mistake they
make is in hauling out their manure for
these crops in the fall preceding the plant
strength of the manure. The plan of all
farmers who give this consideration is
not to draw out their fertilizers until with
in week or two Of the time of planting
just long enough before to have the ma
nure heat. Some may say they do not have
they have to hire help for the manure
rots away to such an extent that I eau
safely say that one-third h lost. do not
include small crops, for they need fine ma
nure. If any one docs not believe this
theory, let him try it. E.P.

Profits of Sheep Feeding.

l think we may estimate that for sheep
weighing about 100 pounds il takes about
two pounds of hay per day, or its equiva-
lent, to keep the sheep alive and healthy,
without gaining anything in weight. Give
them one pound of corn per day in adj
dition, and a good sheep ought to gain
two pounds per week in live weight. The
account with 100 sheep would stand Us fol-
lows:
Dec 1st, ISL
100 sheep 100 lbs each, at So. 90. .... $3.50 90
10 tons Of clover hay.at $18...........,... 1900
$50 bushels corn, at 5Oc..."..........."... 5000
$4,000
March 10th, 1872
100 sheep, 40 lbs. each, at SG.50........ 1892 90
Manure from 10 tons clover hay, at S964 96.40
tons corn, at $6.65..".... 80. %
S961 65
This shows very fair profit. On farms
where there is plenty of good wheat straw,
the sheep can be wintered at less cost. The
profit does not come from the increase Of
weight of sheep so much as from the in
crease in price, and provided the sheep are
fat enough in the spring to bring the high
est price, few pounds less tallow on each
sheep will make little difference in the re-
T-DertainIy1ethin like as much differ
enc&--4eacher laIa0h-sthe cost of hay and
straw. So FAR as the amount of nutrition
is concerned, corn at so cents per bushol is
far cheaper than hay at SIS per ton. The
most prevailing folly is in winteriDg sheer
on straw alone. a little corn in addition tC
the straw, will keep the sheep in good
health and vigor, and pay better than most
agricultural operations with which | am
acquainted.-J. s. BoocLes, IN american
