MANURE ON vgMEAT.

A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man, in answer to question by q subscri-
Der, relating to mgnuring wheat, truly says,
if the greatest benefit is to be had from ma
nure il must be applied ffter the land is
plowed; spread Cat once) even, and leave SO
till the land is sowed, then mix well with
the harrow or cultiVator-if the application
Is heavy, use eultiyator; SOW immediately
sitter that. BY leaving the spread manure
on the surface At, er blowing, up TO thetim
of sowing, the rain will wash out the soluble
parts and soak the soil-the top soil with
than. This is an even distribution-per-
fectly go; and it is the only way, save by
liquid manure, that this can be done per-
fectly; in fact, it Is liquid manure, the
drenching and washing out by the rains.
Now, an equal distribution Is Of the utmost
Importance, IS it enables the roots TO come
in constant contact with the fertility; they
are immersed in it.
1.-THE manure is mixed with the soil
(plowed undeHpr worked in with the culti-
vator) only thai part CT the soil that comes
in contsct with the manure will receive its
benefit, and that in excess. The rest has
none, and is not benefited BY the sppfca'
ton. In the other case, where the strength
is washed into the soil, and the remaining
manure is mixed with it by the harrow or
cultivator, the seed will at once start and
grow vigorously, and form by winter thick
pelt, which, with the manure, is a protec-
ton. The lard, by this method, it will be
fouud, is in excellent condition, the seed
bed moist and mellow. Where 1t is wanted
TO seed down the land, nothing is better
than such preparation. Sow the seed,
(grass seed, not clover) Immediately after
the harrow covering the wheat has left the
field, and brush in at once. As to the other
question Of the correspondent, we do not
approve of keeping manure long and USE
lessly on hand. The sooner the soil gets
the soluble parts and the surface the rest
for protection, the better.

FAIL TREATMENT OF SHEEP.

1t Is customary 10 give sneep the run Vi
the fields till the snow cuts of their support.
And even after that We often see them paw
ing up the snow to get at the grass. The
result is, almost invariably, that the sheep
90 into Winter quarters in a reduced con-
ton. 1t requires, then, extra feed to bring
them up sgain-grain at that; and grain is
not generally q profitable feed for store
sheep, or at least is less profitable than
other cheaper yet nutritious fodder.
When the fall rains come, cold and often
soaking, and later the SHOWS, damp and
clinging, still worse, shelter should be pre-
pared for sheep-indeed they should have
access to shelter the entire summer to avoid
the heat as well as the spring and fall rains
and if they do not readily take advantage
of it they should be made to occupy it and
feed there. Nothing is so good to feed as
early cut clover hay. If secured as 1t should
be, when Just in blossom quite tender, 1t
will be relished; and If thrown to sheep
often and little at time, they will eat 1t up
clean; it will answer much the purpose OF
grass, so that there will be, IN effect, no
break from grass TO hay. Ii the hay has
been damaged in harvesting, some addi-
tional feed will be required, such as meal,
roots, etc. The point is to avoid the rains
which drench often to the skin, causing
the animal to SILVER and suffer, take cold
and engender disesse-aud TO get the flock
to 90 into winter quarters in good strong
condition. Especially should young sheep
(tegs) have this care given them, as the Sc
verify of the fall and vi3ter weather is new
10 them, and they are more tender than the
old sheep. Aftermath is an excellent food
for them, and can yet be secured, the sea-
son growing it well. By feeding this, or
early clover hay well cured, nothing more
is needed during the fall and winter. Tegs
will grow the whole winter through on this
alone, and come out hearty and valuable in
the Spring. This can be relied on as We
know by experience, but the grass or clo-
yer must be secured well and when tender,
SO that it is relished and its substance made
available. No food is so healthy as this,
the natural feed for sheep and cattle. While
we are writing this, in the latter half OF
August, 9 long, slow, cold rain is falling,
Wetting the fieeces of the flocks, to remain
wet for day or two, or longer, should the
rain continue. At the same time there are
sheep that We know of that are sale under
cover, chewing their cud in content, or at
leisure are feeding on the fresh green hay
provided for them. When the rain is over
they will 90 out dry and lively, a contrast to
their feece-soaked neighbors. Care, as APP
piled to stock, is getting to be understood
more and more, it is an element OF vast i'm
portance, second only to feeding itself. 1t
is, in effect, feed, requiring the less where
the treatment is good, and UiCe uerSG. Whist

II there be two good enes on the stalk, II
both be not good, reject theinI One large
ear is better than two small ones; at all
events save only from stalks having the
most perfect ears. A field of corn planted
three feet eight inches each way, three

It Is true that it costs some time and labor
to carefully select and save seed-corn; bat,
if saved in conscientious manner, and
you have a surplus, you need have no
scruples in asking your more indolent neigh
Dor a dollar and half q bushel for the

to save 1t properly; and, If no one choose
to buy it, your seed will be all right another

One more thing Is worthy of mention in

in haste to change your reed. Experiment

SAVE YOuR Seed CORN NOW.

One great evil ia seeding time is, that
when ali is ready for planting, and the
farmer goes to his crib to pick out his seed,
he suddenly becomes suspicious that 1t will
not grow. Nevertheless, the field cannot
wait; the best is selected and planted, and
he trusts to luck. This class of farmers
generally blame the cold season, worms,
gophers, mice, birds and many other things
that are really more innocent than they are
usually supposed 10 be.
When corn ripens upon the stalk perfect
ly, before the advent of frosty nights, and is
thereafter placed in narrow cribs, secure
from wet, it will certainly grow, il properly
planted in the proper season; but this per-
feet ripening does not usually occur. The
seasons of 1871 and 1872 have been remark
able for the perfect ripening of corn
throughout the West. Consequently there
have been no complaints about corn rotting
in the ground when properly planted. The
present season, q vast amount OF the corn
raised in the West is imperfectly ripened.
That is, here is more or less soft and
shriyeled corn in the field. We may ex-
pect complaints next season, if seed be
taken for planting from such cribs promis-
| cuously. 1t would be far better that two
vear-old seed were planted next year, rath.
er than trust to such seed. Indeed, we
know many good far ners who keep one
yesr old seed always on hand for Just such
emergencies. 1t is perfectly safe to plant
it three years old, if properly saved, but,
| it does not germinste as readily IS ne"
seed.
1t is better, however, that seed be say ed
every year. A good time TO do this is WINE
husking. Whe' ever you come across an
exceptionally good ear, instead OF busklng,
break it with the husk remaining. In un-
loading, these upsbucked ears may be
thrown aside, and at any convenient time,
tied together and hung across poles in some
dry, airy situation; or, better, braid them
into sings, and hang them in the smoke
house and dry them over q moderate smoke
Served in this way they not only germlnate
surely but quickly, and thereby much vexa-
ton is saved.
