SOP AS MANURE-George Geddes,
in the COUNTRY GENTLEMAN writes -
AS manure, the value of an old sod
will be somewhat understood whsn we
consider the result obtained by Profess
sor Kedzie of the Michigan Agricul-
tural College at Lansing. He took
square foot of June grass turf and
washed away all the soil in running
water, and then weighed the roots and
surface grass, to determine the amount
of green manural matter usually con-
tanned in "a heavy greensward, and
found it to be five pounds to the square
foot-or at the rate of more than 100
tons to the acre. This was from a
very heavy mat of June grass, and the
Professor says in letter to me, in re-
gard to this matter, This is doubtless
in excess of ordinary June grass" but
he says he "Thinks that few farmers
estimate correctly the amount of vege-
table matter they add to their soil by
blowing under green heavy sward"

predominant. Now when the jungle
fowl was brought into domestlcatlon,
in addition to its wild habits of laying
fifteen eggs and then sitting, it is made
to increase the number of eggs beyond
fifteen, by taking advantage of its nat
ural power of provision for accidents,
by removing the eggs as fast as LAID,
leaving enough in the nest to prevent
abandonment The hen naturally IS
forced to lay few additional eggs to
supply the apparent deficiency in the
number usual when incubation is COM
menced. Under domestication, the rob-
berry of hens nests is carried on regu-
larly and constantly, and the produc-
ton of eggs is stimulated at great
rate. This is assisted by the abundant
supply of food at all seasons Food is
plentiful with wild fowls only during
the breeding season, bnt man, by sup
plying plenty during Winter, makes
Spring and Summer extend through the
whole year. This induces habit of
continuous laying that becomes heredl-
tary. This work of breeding strains OF
fowls to be great layers by gathering
their eggs daily, was not performed
with any conscious purpose. The keep
ers took the eggs because they were
wanted, and carried on this practice
without knowing or caring that the
habits of the birds would become per-
mainly changed thereby. This habit is
perpetuated unconsciously by most peo-
pie to keep fowls for use. The guide
wife," when setting hen, always Sc
lects the eggs from hens that are good
LAYERS. cold Brownie is such good
layer, like the breed" So old Brownies
eggs are saved for setting. The keeper
by thus unconsciouly selecting the eggs
for setting goes on improving his stock
in this quality from year to year.
All these causes have been in opera
tion for thousands of years, for the
change from thirty or forty eggs per
annum to five times that amount, was
not accomplished in a single one hun
dred years.
The writer thinks the reason why
geese and ducks do not lay so contlnu-
ously or so abundantly as hens, is be-
cause they were migratory fowls, and
their breeding season is more limited
than that of the jungle fowl, which is a
constant resident. In the northern re-
gions where they rested, the season is
short, and what was done was done
quickly"

DEvoNsu1RE rTER-A cores
pondent of the LIVE STOCK JOURNAL
gives the following account of the meth
cd of making Devonshire butter, in
England, which always commands the
highest price in London:
The milk is set in round faring
earthern pans, nine to twelve inches
high. They are filled with new milk
and allowed to stand for twelve hours
These earthen pans are then set on
stove (the ordinary American cooking
stove will do) but it must only be set
on the hot plate. not over the fire. 1t
continues slowly heating till ring
rises on the cream the size of the bot
tom of the pan. 1t is then taken off the
stove and allowed to stand twelve
hours, or till quite cold. Now it is
ready for skimming, and is made into
butter without churn The cream is
then put into an earthen pan, same
shape as those pans the milk is set in,
and is beaten up with wooden spatula
or straight ladIe, about five inches long
and four inches wide, fiat on one side
and slightly rounding on the other, or
it is sometimes worked up with the
hand.
The cream, when skinned, is called
Devonshire clotted cream; and some is
sent up to London, packed in one pound
tins, sold for the same price as butter,
is considered great luxury, and is
eaten on fruit pies or with fresh straw
berries. Some use it on bread spread
thick, with honey or molasses spread
thin. l have been quite familiar with
all this for many years of my life.
