Forty Bushels of Wheat per Acre.

A writer in the Practical Farmer tells how he
gets big crops of wheat "For the past five
years have averaged forty bushels per acre of
wheat of the finest quality, always being over
weight. l think I am still gaining every year,
and attribute this to the system pursued and es-
pecially to keeping sheep. My rotation is corn,
barley with clover third year, clover; and
fourth year clover plowed down for wheat.
have never missed crop of clover By seeding
it with barley. Itgives the grass seeds chance
which oats do not. 1 raise fall crops of barley
which do not at all interfere with the grass, but
think barley rather helps by the slight shad-
ing. After the barley is cut the clover makes
astonishing growth, giving me superior late
pasture. Owing to danger from mice, pasture
it down pretty close. My soil is clay loan.
plow down the rank clover about nine inches
deep, give it one narrowing, then haul out my
manure and spread. This plow down shall
low, as I consider it important to have the fer
tilizer near the surface for the roots of the
wheat plant. l use the drill, putting in one
bushel and one peck to the acre. I have never
had wheat crop hurt by freezing and thaw-
ing, which see you sometimes suffer in East
ern Pennsylvania. One season, and one only,
when we had a very fine fall of growing wealth
er, the wheat grew so rank that pastured it
some during the winter. have never had any
attacks of the insect enemies on the wheat crop.
and feel as certain Of crop of about forty
bushels per acre under my system as thatspring
will succeed winter. 1t is ten years since
moved on this farm, and believe nothing more
recuperates worn out farm than keeping sheep.
They spread thermanure evenly over the fields,
and have found the truth of what some one
said, "The tread of the sheep in golden"

Ducks AS MoTHERs.--A correspondent of Land
hatch their own eggs than to set them under
hens. He says:
know it is popular belief that ducks are
careless and Indifferent mothers, so far that a
custom prevails with keepers of poultry of set
ting ducks eggs under hens. Think both this
principle and this parctice are wrong. The
only advantage hen mothers have over ducks
is that they are ready to etearlier in the year
Apart from that believe there is not any ad-
vantage in such custom. From my own OBJ
servation I can say that hens kill many more
young ducks then duck mothers do. Naturally
the feet of the hen are not calculated for tread.
ing about among little things which slide and
struggled along the ground. Her chickens can
jump and spring out of the way of her feet i;
but have frequently seen hen stand with
her great outspread toes upon the back of a
young duckliug who was vainly struggling to
get from under it, the hen all the while reach
ing after something to eat, apparently uncon-
scious that she was saughtering her pseudo
offspring. ducks feet are all one, are fiat
and splay, and she ehuffies about without lift
ing them much from the ground. I do not re-
member ducklngs being ever trod upon, or, as
the people about here say, "squabbled" by a
duck mother.
No doubt we are very wise people in cur gen
Grafton, but from all eternity God has been
wiser than we and hens were intended to
hatch and bring up chickens, and ducks to rear
young ducks.

To CURE WENs ON CATTLE.-My cattle have
great many wens. Some of my best cows
had them, but the cows are as clear from wens
now as they can be. though they had them for
years. I have three different ways of curing,
at any place. Take half a pint Of soft soap
and dry Stacked lime in powder, mix them
somewhat thicker than a common whitewash ;
take piece of shingle, or something similar,
and rub in the mixture we'll for four or five
times once day, or on as many mornings; let
it heal of ITSELF and by that time the wen is off,
and your COW will lose neither milk nor flesh
under the treatment. There is no patent to
this-it is free to all who may see ft to use it..

Grooming and Feeding Horses.

A few words now about grooming and man
agement. Every horse should be thoroughly
cleansed each day. The bedding instead of
being thrown under the manger to fill his food,
eyes and lungs with ammonia, should be thrown
behind him or out of doors to air. His man
ger should be kept clean, and once week
washed with salt and water, and salt left in it.
One night in each week he should have warm
bran mash-eight quarts-generally given on
Saturday night, as it is somewhat tloosening and
weakening, and the horse is presumed to be
idle on Sunday. Oats are by far the best food,
and ground oats, wet with water, is better than
whole dry grain. Cut hay is great saving,
and moistened and sprinkled with ground oats
forms the best of food. The hull of the oats is
hard and often unmastcated, and passes undi-
gested through the system, thus taking away
instead of imparting strength and nutrition
For medium-sized horses, with moderate work,
nine to twelve quarts of oats per day and IA
lbs. hay are ample. For large draft horses, Is
quarts oats and 16 lbs. hay. Food consisting
Of one-thrd corn, ground with two-thirds oats,
forms strong, hearty, winter food for work or
coach horses. But corn is unfit for road or fast
horses-it is too heating. Good beds and good
grooming are as important as good feeding
Horses, like men, want good, dry, warm, clean
beds. In grooming, tie your horse so he can't
bite his manger, and thus learn to crib bite;
and if you find your groom currying and tor
menting the poor animal when he is tied, SO he
is uneasy and restless, use your stable broom
over your groom's back-it is an excellent in
structor to teach him to be gentle. Let the
currycomb be very moderately used on the body
to loosen up the scurf and dirt, but never per-
NIT one near the main and tail. Rely mainly
on the brush and rough cloth for cleaning.
Danish combs from your stable. They tear
out more hair in day than will grow in
month, and they ruin all the names and tails
that are ruined The tail should be washed
with CASTLE soap and water once every week,
and brushed with wet brush every day in the
year, holding up the bone of the tail and brush
ing the hair from you. Half an hour is enough
for good groom, to one horse, but one hours
time at the outside, ample to be very complete.
City horses on dry floors should have COW ma
nure put into their feet once a week, to draw
out fever and keep hoofs growing. 1t should
be put in over night and allowed to wear out
itself. To conclude, always be gentle about
your horses body, especially his head-"more
haste less speed" is peculiarly applicable to
grooming and breaking. Use whips as little
as possible-use your reason and exercise pa
tience and kindness, and instill by precept and
example the same useful lesson in these uDtu-
tored creatures denominated grooms, and if
you can not inculcate wholesome truths into
their heads, you can ameliorate the condition
of that much abused animal the horse, by oc-
casionally exemplifying the power of their own
treatment on themselves.-Countr Gentleman

manently, must be by gradual and progress
sive improvement. Five grain doses of arsenic
given once in the twenty-four hours for two
weeks: then after a weeks intermisson, com

@~The wheat crop returns for 1874, as re-
ceived at the Department of Agriculture, indi-
cate yield sevon per cent. greater than that
of last year. All the Northern and Middle
States are above the average, while the South
ern and Gulf States are generally below it
Arkansas is the highest of all, returning crop
of 100 per cent. In Wisconsin The crop was re-
duced 20 per cent by the drought, and there is
decrease from the same cause in all the States
west Of the Mississippi. In the Pacific States
the yield Of wheat exceeds the average.
