THE FARMERS SONG.

Success to the jolly farmer
Who sings as be follows his plow,
The monarch Of prairie and forest,
IT'S only TO God be may bow.
He is afortpDate fellow,
He raises his bread and his cheese
And though hard 10 his labor in summer,
In winter he lives at his ease.
When the reign Of winter is broken,
And spring comes to gladden. and bless,
When the fiocks in the meadow are sporting,
Aud the robin is building her nest,
The farmer walks forth to bis labor,
And manly and firm is his tread,
As he scatters the seed for the harvest,
That yields to the nations their bread, their
bread
That yields TO the nations their bread.
His banks are all chartered by nature,
Their creditors are ample and sure,
His clerks never Slope with deposits,
Pursued by the curse of the poor.
His stock is the best in the market
His shares are the shares of his pillow,
They bring gold 10 his Golfers,
And pleasure and health to his brow, his brow,
And pleasure and health to his brow.
When his crops are all gathered and sheltered,
When his cattle are snug in the fold,
He sits himself down by the fireside
And'laughs at the tempest and cold.
A,strnnger TO pride and ambition,
His duty he strives TO fulfill,
Determined whatever befals him,
To let the world jog asst will, as it will,
To let the worldjog as II will.

How Much Horse WILL EAT.-A horse
weighing from ten to twelve hundred pounds
will eat about six tons OF hay or its equivalent
in. a year. And we suppose the real point our
young farmer wishes TO know is, whether he
can keep his horse cheaper on some other pro-
duct than hay. This is an exceedingly diff
cult question to answer--it depends so much
circumstances. We shall not attempt to an
swer it fully this time, bull will merely say
that, in our opinion, three tons and half of
Gornstalks and two and half tons of corn
would keep horse in fully as good condition
rs six tons of good hay. Two and half tons
of corn would be nearly ninety bushels And
if our correspondent raises sixty bushels of
shelled corn per acre, he may conclude that it
will take one aud half acres TO keep horse
q year, or, what is more practical way of
looking at 1t, it will take three-quarters OF an
acre of good corn througha six months win
ter. We may estimate also that it will take
three and half tons of oat straw, and two
and half tons Of oats TO keep horse year.
A bushel of oats weighs thirty-two pounds, so
that it will take over one hundred and fifty
iYs bushels, and three and half tons of straw
10 keep horse a year. 1t would take about
two acres of goodland to produce this amount.
For the present purpose, we mag assume that
five tons Of ruta-basa is equivalent to one ton
of good hay SO that a horse would require
thirty tons in year AS this statement may
stagger our young friend, it may be well to
say that Stephens, in his Book of the Farm,
says: IAN OK will eat about a ton (22lO lbs. }
of turnips every week. A two year old short
horn OK win consume tweniy-six tons, and a
three year old thirty tous of turnips in one
hundred.and eighty days" -Hearh and Home.

The recent analysis of Clark's Ammoniatcd

it highly reliable compound for the early
and effective nutrition of crops, with a suffi-
cient quantity ofammonia to stimulate, de-
velop and sustain the plant. 1t contains a
heavy proportion of Soluble Phosphoric Acid
to sustain an ample fruitage. 1t, therefore,

AGRICULTURAL.
Oats.


Oats should be gotten in as early as the
ground can be properly worked-therefore the
location must determine when to sow-as a
general rule, however, they can be sown when
ever the frost is out of the ground. Like most
ether productions of the earth, this crop must
have justice done to it (Which it seldom re-
ceives) to ensure good crop--it is generally
put off in the worst field and with the least
manure, and consequently has to bear the
character ola non-paying crop. The slightest
attention to its requirements will make it yield
well, but If the field has not the strength in it
already, and no manure is applied, Of course
the yield will be small-therefore to succeed
with it, plough your land deep, and thorough
ly prepare ii for the seed. Not less than two
bushels seed per acre should be sown on any
quality of land fit to grow oats. The best soil
is heavy loam-and the best preparation for
the crop is grass land broken up in the fall,
and which has been lined a year or two before;
the oats crop, however, most generally follows
in rotation after corn and the manure for the
latter is made TO answer for the former There
is this advantage in this rotation, that clover
can be seeded with the oats, and wheat will
follow clover the latter being turned under
in the fall is considered an excellent prepara-
ton for the wheat. Potash and phosphates
enter largely into the composition of oats, of
grain to the extent of 35 per cent OF the
whole, and the straw 20 per cent. and silica
still larger amount. For horse feed, there is
nothing 10 exceed oats in value, not even corr;
it gives stamina to these animals, and every
farmer who keeps horses should SOW at least
sufficient for his own use. In speaking of
cLover, we have already shown the mode ofap-
plying the seed with the oats. Barnyard ma
nure, and the compost heap, will furnish, if
given in sufficient quantities. all the food ne
oessary for oats-but the more of ashes and
bone earth you add to it, the better-general-
ly speaking, on most lands, the silica (sand) |
need not be brought from abroad Am. Far.
