Sound Ideas on Farming.

Tho following views on farming were
thrown out by Mr.. Greeley in his
speech at Baltimore, and they 80 en-
tirely cover the ground Of successful
culture that we give them a place for
the benefit Of our readers /. That
the area under cultivation should be
within the limits Of the capital and la
Dor employed or, in other words, that
on impoverished soil no ono should
cultivate more land than he can enrich
with ma lure and fertilizers, be it one
acre or twenty. 2. That there should
be a law compelling every man to pre-
vent his stock from depredating on his
neighbours gelds. 3. That green soil is
more economical than loose ~pasturage.
A. That deep tillage is essential to good
farming. 3. That the muck heap is
the farmers bank, and that every thing
should be added to it that will enlarge
it, and increase ut tho same time it's
fertilizing properties. 8. That no farm
er or planter should depend upon one
staple alone, but should seek to secure
himself against serious lost in bad sea-
SOM by diversity Of products. -Fa,n1-

Corn Fodder.

We earnestly recommend tho sowing
of corr either for green food, or for
curing for winter. None who have cv-
er used it green in August aud early
September when the pastures fail, or OF
those who soil their milk stock either
wholly or partially, will probably need
any urging from us to SOW n liberal
breadth OF it,. Those who have not
tried it we hope will this season give it
a test; there is certainly nothing more
relished by cows, and nothing which
will keep up n flow Of milk in tho hot
test part of summer-especially if q
little meal and and bran be fed with 1t.
Properly cured for winter it is equal in
value, we believe, to good hay, and is
as much liked by stock OF all kinds.
Corn for soiling or for curing is sown
generally broadcast and plowcd or har-
rowed in but it is preferably grown in
drills two and n half or three feet
apart, and worked several times before
cutting, which should be done when
fully in tassel. About three bushels Of
seed is the right quantity for an acre,
and the Land ought to be as rich rs your
supplies Of manure will allow. And we
recommend that such as is TO DO cured
be Gown oarly-thnt for feeding green
may be sown in succession up to the
first of August. -Amcrican Farmer.

Sowed Corn for Winter Forage.

A writer in the Ohio Farmer a y
Ny experiments with it have resulted
in the following conclusions First,
that ono acre of corn 'sown in drills
three feet apart is worth more than two
acres planted to winter cattle on. The
first I sowed in June, four years ago,
from the 10th to the Goth; stock did
we'll on it fed in tho bundle. I have
raised some every year since, but sowed
late, and cattle would not fatten fast
enough to suit me. Last year / sowed
in May, about the Goth, three pecks per
acre cultivated twice, and cut and
stocked, then cut with the Empire feed
cutter, and fed from one to two bushels
per head, and am receiving gratifying
results from it now. In sowing early
the corn cared well, in fact a good part
would have done to crib, therefore, hay
ing more heart or substance, and by
cutting 1t from one to one and a half in
ches long, cattle eat every part clean.
IL Is not as much work TO cut tho fodder
as 1t would be to husk the corn tho
stalks are sweeter and softer than when
handled rs they are when it Is huskod.

USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.

A SOLUTION of five parts Of borax in
one hundred Of water liz represented to
prevent the putrefactive process in meat
for considerable time. Flesh dipped
in The mixture and then dried rcsists
the usual process of decomposition.
To REMOVE GREAsE.-Tako one-quar-
ter pound CASTLE soap, o%ne-quarter
pound ammonia, very strongest, one
ounce s%uIphuric ether, one ounce spirits
of wine, n ounce glyccrinc. To mix
this cut the soap fine and dissolve in
one quart of soft water, then add four
more quarts Of water and all ingredi-
ents.
METHOD or PRESERVING Cur FLow-
ERs.-Put n tablespoonful of powdered
charcoal into tho water destined to ro-
ceive the flowers, and carefully placing
the latter so that their lower oxtremities
ARE submerged in the liquid. This
method will never fail to produce the
most satisfactory results, if ordinary
care be taken, and flowers treated thus
will retain their freshness and beauty ut
least rs long as in their natural condi-
ton.
To TAKE INK OUT OF LINEN.-Melt
pure tallow and cover tho ink spot with
it while hot. After washing in the
usual manner, the stain will generally
be gone. If, however. some of the
blemish remains, n second application
of this simple process will e~flectually
remove it, and without injuring the lin
en-. This method has been found to be
decidedly tho best among many others
employed for tho purpose mentioned,
by a laundry company of great celebrity
in New York.
EXCELLENT HOUSEHOLD Soar. When
the boiling lye will strip u feather clean,

half pounds of clean grease. Boil il
Crying whether it has enough of grease
with q feather,) until it becomes very
thick then throw IN one pint Of salt,
and five pounds of borax, to every -four
gallons OF soap. Boil it while longer,
and set it off to cool. When hard, cut
it out in bars, scrape off the sediment
from the bottom and put it on thesheli
to drain.
MIXED BREAD. -Scald two quarts OF
meal. After it has cooled. add n tea
cupful of best yeast, and allow it to
stand we night. Mix early next morn
ing, using sufficient fino -four to make
loaves that will stand up nicely. 1t is
necessary to add more salt than for
white bread, with the addition Of one
spoonful of soda and one cup of mo-
lasses. Allow it to rise as other light
bread, and have the oven very hot when
first put in. 1t requires more time than
other bread.
AsrRoYo alum water is sure death to
bugs of any description. Take two
pounds Of pulverized alum and dissolve
in three'quarts of boiling water, allow
ing it to remain over tho fire until
thoroughly dissolved. Apply, while
hot, with a brush, or what is better, use
a syringe to force the liquid in the
cracks OF the wallis and bedstead. Scat
ter also the powdered alum freely in nil
these places, and you will soon be rid
of these insect n~uisances which fn ono
with disgust.
MILK for butter making should be
handled gently and put at rest as soon
as possible. A reduction Of tempera
ture is desirable rs soon aslthe milk is
drawn, but this should be effected with
the least possible amount Of stirring.

PLANTS AS WEATHER-GUIDBs. 1t is
well known that certain plants are very
sensitive to changes in tho atmosphere,
and by their behavior, tho opening and
closing OF their leaves and flowers, etc.
serve as natural barometers to indicate
the coming weather. A Prussian horti
culturist-Mr. Hanneman, OF Proskau
gives the signs he has found reliable
with respect to tho following plants.

Of wet weather, whilst on the other
hand the different varieties Of clover
contract their leaves before rain. II
fine bright weather is in prospect, the
leaves Of the chickweed, &etiaria me
dia, unfold and its flowers ROMAN
awake and erect until midday. When
the plant droops and its flowers do not
expand, rain may not be expected. The
half.opening Of the flowers is n sign
that the wet will not last long. The
Burnett saxifrage, Pinpinei,a sarifraga,
indicates the coming weather in the
same manner AS to tho small Cape
marigold, Calendula pluUiaiis, should
1t open at six or eve a. m. and not
close till four p. M, we may reckon on

leeping after seven, it betokens rains.

SUCCESS BASED UPON MERIT.--It is q

Making Presents.

1t certainly seems a little odd that 30
general q custom as that of making
presents should often be as pcrplcxing
rs it is pleasant. II would seem rs if,
money and taste being taken for granted,
the task OF selection, especially in orr
cities, where every taste and almost
every person can be suited, would be
quite nm easy one The common objects
IN the purchase of presents are very
few; wo want in the first place, to OK
press regard, then to ploase our friends,
and finally to avoid duplicating anything
they already possess or are likely to re-
ceive. But the trouble is hat pur-
chasers too rarely put these objects
definitely to themselves. The one fact
before them is that they are to select
and buy n certain number Of gifts, and
from this vaguenesB arises half the
trouble. The most evident ground of
choice would seem to be found in the
friends personal taste. There is no cx-
cuse for us il we send bronzes TO the
young lady who cannot tell them from
Berlin iron, but who knows genuine
coral Mt n glance nor for wasting books
on people who have no time to read, or
rare old china on those who think moth
ing better than a granite coffce-cup. A
very little reflection will teach us to
send IL various presents where they
will at least find appreciation. But the
real principle in this matter has not yet
been here expressed. II is not enough
to give suitable gifts, nor to avoid send
ing II Goals to Newcastle. What we
really want to express is personal as
%sociation. If the article il Of value in
itself alone, our friend might AZ well
buy it for himself, and We make u paupor
OF him i'll giving it. But if it has direct
reference to him, and if it expresses us
ns well as our regard, it has q value that
neither money nor taste can otherwise
give it. We get ut this principle in tho
purchase OF gifts by making them cx-
press the point of harmony between us.
We are all many-sided, and choose our
friends not for their likeness to each
other, nor because they all suit one
phase Of our character. We love two
alike, although they are 30 dissimilar
that they cannot agree, but each of
them suits us in different ways. We
know why We caro- for cnch, and so it il
not difficult to give it expression. There
fore, although you and your friend may
care for both books and pictures, if you
talk OF 20 books to one picture, lot your
gift be for his library shelves, not for it's
walls. III You go to concerts together,
send her music or something upon the
subject if he receives you in his labora-
tory, send your remembrance there or,
II he is always eager to show you II now
fossil or curious shell, remember that
geology and conchology each has its
literature, its rare specimens In this
way our gifts are q benefit not only to
those who receive them, but also to our
selves. -Scribner's Monthly.
