Flax Culture.

10 cultivate fax successfully requires
experience In the FIRST place it needs the
best Of soil The ground must be clean
ami rich The land must be dry aud well
puverized Poor, cloddy ground will not
produce good fax Land that will produce
thirty to forty bushels of wheat per acre
will yield from fifteen to twenty bushels Of
fax seed. The ground in early spring
should be well stirred and made perfectly
mellow. One bushel and bali should be
sown on an acre. This amount will seem
too much to some, but to have good yield,
the entire ground must be used in the
growth Of the crop
Spring fr,sts viii injure the young plants
so it will be necessary to wait till irosts are
passed before sowing it. One fax raiser
says fax should not be sown till wild yege-
tation is well advanced IN growth in the
spring that each farmer should judge fer
himself as regards this matter
II farmer wishes to produce coarse lint,
one bushe sown per acre is the quantity
required Tricky sown fax produces fue
lint. Flax is gathered, when ripe by
heading or reapiug it, and not by the old
way, pulling.
Flax is very exhaustive crop to the
land, and the old refuse stalks should be
put on land aud plowed under for manure.
Flax should not be grown on the same land
more than three years in succession. 1t
should be followed by wheat or oats. 1t

Concerning Barns.

Eds. Country Gentleman read with
interest all that is printed in the agricutur-
al papers that take, concerning barns, be-.
caue expect ere long to build one, and
want to put into it all the "modern improve
ments." Ia all the plans that have seen
there are one or two important defects
One is, the cattle are put into the basement,
which is half or three fourths cellar. The
other is, there is no arrangement for saw
ing all the liquid manure.
In an article giving a description Of a
barn, some months ago, the writer said al
could make the arrangements so as to put
the horses in the basement with the cattle
but | prefer to put them in more airy and
healthy stable on the first floor As if the
health of the horse were of more import
ance than the health of the COW and of those
who use the milk If the COW is not healthy
her milk is not fit to use. If any Of our
domestic animals deserve the "best room,
it is the COW. Let them all have a dry
airy, light, and lin winter warm room. II
"wiIl pay" am surprised that so many
men put their cattle into dark, damp base
ment, that cannot be as wholesome as a
stable on the first floor. These cattle ar,
put in the basement, most Of the liquid ma
nure is wasted, and much of the strength OIL
the solid manure that is thrown into tn,
yard is leached out; so the farmer losei
more than half the manure made by his cat
tie.
The barn | propose to build will be abou
eighty by fifty feet with a cellar under til,
whole Twenty feet Of the west end vii
be used as carriage house and harness
room, entrance by stairs to the rooms abov,
and the root cellar below The next flteoi
feet for hay, the floor to be dropped to nca
the cellar bottom; passage on the south
side Of the barn from the carriage room t,
the barn floor, which will extend through
the barn north and south. The rest fol
stables, a part of the cattle standing witt
their heads to the barn floor, the other
with their heads to the east end of the barn
Under the stables the cellar will be eigh
or more feet deep; the walls on three side
to be laid in cement the fourth side 70
entrance the bottom to be thorough,
cemented, so that no liquid can escape fro n
the cellar; one or two large ventilator,
up through the roof. Into the cellar will
be put muck, loan, &c, to mix with tn

Constituents of Fertilizers.

The bill that came from the hands Of the
Committee on Agriculture and which is
now before the legislature, requires the per-
contagc Of certain Ingredients to be at
tached to every package or parcel Of fer
tilizor to be sold in this State. 1t is well
known that ingredients which give the
value to such articles or on which their
value chiefly depends, are only few in
number, three or four at most All 9TH
or ingredients are comparatively worth.
less.
These constituents are nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash, and these are yalu-
able chiefly 10 proportion to their sollbili-
ty, or their availability for plant food. Al
analysis which should show the percentage
of nitrogen or phosphoric acid, would not
be Of much value unless it indicated the
condition Of these ingredients as to solubili-
IT, Nitrogen may be present but so locked
up that the plant canuotget il. Pbosphoric
acid may be present, but insouble in water
or in the weak acids that may be contained
ia the soil In such case it may not be
wholly worthless, butt is comparatively So.
1t is therefore perfectly fair to require
the manufacturer to specify not only the
amount, but the condition Of these consttu-
ents and the sources from which they are
obtained, wherever this is practicable,
though Mr. Bradley, at the hearing before
the committee on the 18th, while acccding
heartily to the general provisions Of the bill,
maintained that it would be difficult or next
to impossible, to specify in every instance,
what was the source from which phosphoric
acid was obtained, as manufacturers have to
get it where they can, sometimes from crude
boucs, burnt bones or bone black apatite or
mineral phosphate aud from the South Car
olina phosphates
We think tharo Is a reasonable prospect
that farmers will, hereafter have some de-
gree Of protection against fraud in iertili-
zers in this state, aud if So, the use Of them
will very largely increase to the benefit OF
our agriculture -Pi0ugimaa

Good and poor Cows.


The following hard good sense is from
the pen Of G. f, Small, in a paper read
before the Vermont Board Of Agriculture :
MANY persons think that a COW is a COW
any way. We will suppose that there are
two cows for sale; the one is an ordinary
COW, and is offered for $40, and the o,Aer,
an extra COW, is offered for SIS, both Of the
same age, aud the first one will make on IN
average 225 pounds Of butter in one yc,r,
which at the price Of 80 cents per pound
would amount to the sum of $3.50 aad
the other COW will make $50 pounds in
the same time, which at 80 cents por pound
would be s75, double the amount Of the
first. Now suppose it costs $50 year to
keep COW (which think is fair esti.
mate it will leave only $3.50 for making
and taking care of the butter, etc, of the
first named COW, whereas you will have s45
left Of the income of the last.named COW
after deducting keeping, leaving a balance
in favor of the COW Of s37 80.

Sensible Advice.

Bone Dust.

Many moor fellow has worn out bis
bones trying to work a piece of poor ground;
but such bone application has seldom re-
suited in large profits. Our English friends
have discovered that it is much better to
use other peoples bones in these cases than
their own and the bone trade of England
has assumed gigantic proportions All the
old battle fields have been ransacked, and
unless report do them no injustice, many an
old fellow whose bones were supposed to
rest 10 peace in some grassy daisy lowered
churchyard, would have to hunt some mod
ern turnip-feld to find all that remains of
them. Foreign countries have not only to
pay tribute to England of their wealth
during life; but even their bones have to
follow in order to enrich British soil, as
while they worked to fill British pockets,
Australia sends an enormous quantity Of
bones to England 1t has become such
heavy trade that the article itself was found
too light for profit. Science has been called
