A Dog Four Weeks without Food.

Adolph Roda, of Rochester, lost a
black and tan dog four weeks ago, and,
until the 9Th, could discover no trace of
his fate. On Sunday, however, an ice
house few rods from Mr.. Roda's house
was opened, and out walked, or rather
rolled, what was left of Mr.. Roda's dog.
Almost four weeks to day the dog had
been imprisoned in his icy dungeon, and
when released he was unable to stand
upon his legs. He was fed in small
Quantities, and by degrees seems to be
regaining strength. The little fellow
has demonstrated the fact that dog can
live four weeks without food. How far
the ice went toward prolonging life is a
part of the problem that cannot be
solved. How the dog got into the ice
house is another mystery, but it is be-
lieved that he was forced into an aper-
ture at the top by some mischievous
person.

Colt BREAKING.-During the last
two months we have been stopping on
a farm, some five miles from town, and
have had occasion to break four differ
ent horses to the saddle-the last one a
wild colt. 1t is a little risky, unless
one takes every advantage of the horse,
instead of being taken advantage of by
him. The nature Of the horse we have
made practical study for many years.
If only one side of horse is trained,
he will be as wild on the other side as
though he never knew training. If you
gentle three of his legs and neglect the
other one, don't take hold of the un-
educated leg too confidently. Every
motion, every word that you wish the
horse to know or be familiar with must
be gently but firmly given. Get the
horses confidence first, then keep his
confidence with kindness and consistent
treatment; and remember that the horse
knows what he learn, good or bad, and
no more, and he remembers every trick,
good or bad, also, that he learns. 1t is
easier to educate green colt than to
break an old horse of bad faults.

PLANT FOOD.

1t is very important to agriculturists
that they should bear in mind the con-
stituents of plant food, and that they
should see that the soil, which they may
have to cultivate contains the mineral
elements of these constituents, in such
form as to be readily taken up, through
the roots of the plants. If the soil, in
its natural state, has all of these ele-
ments in such a condition and sufficient
quantities, then the application of artif-
cial fertilizers will be unnecessary, and
will produce but little or no beneficial
effect. But, if any part of these ele-
ments are not to be found in the soil, it
will become necessary to supply the
deficiency by artificial means
1t is now well known to agricultural
analytical chemists that there are but
FIFTEEN chemical elements which enter
into the composition of vegetable pro-
auctions, and this fact has been estab-
lished and confirmed by the joint labors
of hundreds of chemists, who have
operated analytically and alphabetically,
in turn; that is, by first separating the
vegetable into it's different compone Mt
parts by analysis, and then growing
the vegetable by adding all the different
mineral elements, in state of solution,
to calcined sand, or distilled water, in
such proportions as would produce the
perfect plant.
Of the fifteen elements, eleven are
mineral and four are organic, the source
of the latter being found in air and
water; while the source of the former
is in the constituents of the crust of
the globe itself. Vegetables are, in
fact, but the varied combinations of the
fifteen elements, as the different words
of our language are but the combina-
lions of the different letters of the alpha
bet, in the varied proportions in which
they are arranged.
The perfect plant may be compared
with the good pudding, whose constit-
uents are well known to the good house
wife, and the soil, to the pantry. Now,
the good housekeeper has no need of
sending to the store for all the ingredi-
ents on the recipe of the pudding, if
she has a well supplied pantry, but
sends for those only which the pantry
is deficient in. But still she must have
them ALL to make the pudding good.
And so must the farmer have all the
elements of the plant to make his crop
good. His soil is the pantry and the
crop is the pudding. Let him find out
then what is IN THE PANTRY, in sufii-
Gent quantities, and then he will know
what to buy to supply its deficiencies,
and can make good crops without buy
ing all the ingredients of plant food.

Slope to the Rear in Cow Stable Floors.
From, tie MARYLAND Farmer,

From tie Maryland Farmer.
Cow stable floors, having a slope or
inclination to the rear, are both uncom-
Portable and dangerous. The obliquity
in the floor occasions slipping; and if
the COW, in an advanced state of preg-
nancy, lies with the posterior consider
ably lower than the fore parts, the effect
is to produce undue fatigue, and injur-
ious posterior pressure on the bowels
and womb, and we have often observed
the effects of it, where it had so fatigued
the muscles of the neck Of the womb
that the fetus would be prematurely
partially presented at times, for weeks
prior to the time of normal parturition
This needless barbarity may be effect
ually avoided in the use of a stable
floor level, fore and aft" and of pro-
per length
OPEN CUTTERS.
In the use of open cutters behind
cows, to receive excrement, it is uni
versal practice, besides giving the floor
q slope to the rear, that the animals
may not drown in their urine, to place
the gutter as close as practicable, that
the excrement may fall into it. This
so shortens the floor that it causes the
body of the animal to overhang the
gutter, when they are lying, and they
being thus deprived of support, the
position is one of constant and severe
fatigue This, and number of other
stable barbarities, we might hope,
would, at an early day, like other
glaring cruelty, when exposed, succumb
to the march of civilization, but we
fear it has become too staple to be soon
supplanted by any substitute, however
good
The open gutter behind cows stores
the accommodating excrement in most
favorable position for the animals to
smear themselves, the stable, the milk,
mixer, and even the manger. The
solid excrement dams the liquid excre-
ment in the gutter, and the tails of the
cows becomes saturated with filth, which
they are admirably adapted to broad.
casting.
We know of few things which direct
ly affect the cleanliness of human food,
which needs reform more than common
cow sta bles. Nothing is more certain
than that good butter and cheese cannot
be made from impure or tainted milk,
or that it is unfit for human food, espe-
cially for young children.
In the use of the grating floor and
the concealed gutter it is impossible
that the bodies or tails of the animals
should come in contact with the excre-
ment. This new arrangement is safe,
comfortable and clearly, and should be
universally adopted.
If consumers Of dairy products knew
how abominably filthy many dairymen
are they would look more to the quality
at least of the milk, daily consumed
The investigation of the existing condi'
ton of things, with regard to milk, is
much needed.

MANURE FOR FRUIT.-It would be
best to abstain from the use of stimu-
lating animal manures for your fruit
trees, unless thoroughly decomposed,
and if previously composted with mel
low soil, all the better; but mineral fer
tilizers will, in such cases, always prove
more trustworthy. Nothing is better
than wood ashes to induce a sound
healthy growth, and consequently per-
feet crops. The scrapings from wood
piles, if mixed with ashes, will, of
course, be beneficial, and decaved leaves,
peat, washings from the road, etc, are
all of value. Our orchardists, as
rule, are at last realizing the truth that
they must not use too speedy and pow
erful manures, as such will, in most
cases, prove injurious to vegetation in
one form or another

WHITE FIELD LABOR ON THE GULF.
Before the war it was thought simply
impossible for white man to labor in
the field in the Gulf States, and any
one who proposed white labor was
laughed at, and was told that no white
man could stand such work in that eli
mate. Necessity, however, being the
greatest teacher, has finally conquered
even this supposed impossibility, and so
white men are not only working now in
the fields, but are actually surprising
the negro in the amount of work done,
his generally superior knowledge giving
him a great advantage over the almost
totally uneducated negro laborer. In
view of this fact the New Orleans
Price Current" pertinently asks -
Why is it that white man can now
labor in the rich fields of our State,
where formerly the climate was consid-
cred an insurmountable barrier? Has
the climate changed? Are the men of
different breed? No! Only the mis-
taken ideas of the insalubritv of the
climate, false impressions about the
hight to which the thermometer attains
in midsummer, have, by dnt of self-n-
vestigation, aided by the press, been
dispelled, at least, in small circle but
there are still many in tie West and
North, and also in Europe, who men,
tally compare the fertile lands of the
Gulf States to the mephitic Roman
campagna. White labor, and particu-
larly the participation of the planter or
farmer himself in the labors of the field,
has of late tended to shorten the pc
Rod necessary for the cultivation of
most of our crops. The application of
science to farming, which naturally fol-
lows in the wake of white labor, will
not alone raise larger crops on given
area, but also improve the quality of
the harvest. Once let it be generally
understood that white man can work

PEA VINE CLOVER A correspon-
dent of the "Ohio Farmer" advises an
enquirer to sow pea-vine clover for
pasture: "My plan is to seed with
timothy, u the Fall, with wheat, then
SOW one bushel of pea-vine clover to
eight acres. This will produce about
twice as much pasture as the common
clover, and if you have good soil, and
it seeds well, you will have heavy
layer of clover, tramped down to rot
on the ground. In this way you can
enrich your soil and keep more stock
than by sowing common clover.
have been cultivating this clover
for the last six years, and would pay
twice the price of common seed rather
than to do without it. l usually pas
ture two years, and then follow with
corn, but the cut worms were so bad,
that in July, '73, 1 changed my plan.
7 ploughed a field of pea-vine clover
that had been pastured in '72, and
from eight and one-fourth acres, with
out manure, l raised $50 bushels of
wheat. l had to harrow down the
clover and ride the harrow before l
could plough it, and the plow would
then choke. l shall follow the wheat
with corn. Pea-vine is nearly two
weeks later than common clover, and
should not be pastured too soon To
save seed, pasture till the middle of June,
after which it will fill we'll, and yield
more than the common clover made
four tons of hay last year, from a field
that had been pastured all Summer,
and it was as good hay as ever saw,
but it was SO dry that it cured very
quickly"

SOME FACTS THAT FARMERS RARELY
THINK OF-Manure applied to the
richest field on the farm will yield the
largest profit for the expenditure and
labor employed. Thin land kept in
grass and the grass allowed to rot on
the ground is the cheapest mode of
improving the land. Mulching with
straw or any coarse litter will aid ma.
terially the process of renovation.

And this is a fair annual average
from his sheep. Besides this, he usually
raises about four hundred barrels Of
corn, every grain of which he feeds at
home, and makes from one thousand to
twelve hundred bushels of wheat This
will give some idea of the profits that
can be realized from sheep, without
materially interfering with the produc-
ton of other farm products. Every
year he puts on his farm forty thousand
bushels of good farm, pen and stable
manure, most of which has never been
exposed to the weather"

WHY CATTLE REQUIRE SALT.-We
know why the animal Graves salt, and
why it ultimately falls into disease if
salt is for time withheld. Upwards
of half the saline matter Of the blood,
Isl per cent? consists of common salt
and as this is partly discharged every
day through the skin and kidneys, the
necessity Of continued supplies of it to
the body become sufficiently obvious.
The bile also contains soda as special
and indispensable constituent, and so
do all the cartilages of the body
Therefore, if the supply of salt be
stin.ed, neither will the bile be able
properly to assist the digestion, nor
the cartilages be built up again as they
naturally waste.
And when we consider it to be a
fact, that without salt man would
miserably perish; as among horrible
punishments entailing certain death,
that of feeding culprits on saltless food
is said to have prevailed in barbarous
times, we may become partially con-
WINGED, at least, OF the necessity of
feeding salt to our stock-that it is one
of the necessaries as well as one of the
luxuries of life for man and beast; and
it should be profusely provided at short
intervals, in proper places, if it can
not be kept by them continually, so
that each and every animal may satisfy
the demands of his nature. Then it
shall not be said of us, that while our
pudding is we'll seasoned and sailed,
our stock are allowed to suffer for want
of the same ingredient; which is as
truly necessary for their food as for
ours-PRoF JOHNSON.
