4 Good Formula for Manure.


The following has been tried and is
highly recommended by Mr.. Royal
Smith, of Millington, Mass. On grass
lands and potatoes the effect was adj
mirable:
1. Two cords of fresh COW dung.
2. Ten bushels of plaster.
3. Five bushels of salt.
4. 100 pounds of sulphate of potash.
The mode of preparing this compost
is described as follows: at was COM
posed of about two cords of good green
COW dung, made in the stable, under
cover, mingled with ten bushels of
plaster and five bushels of salt. The
heap was cut over carefully four times
during the summer, the Jumps beat
out, and the whole thoroughly inter-
mingled, and the last time it was cut
over, $50 pounds of German potash
salts, said to contain 60 per cent. of
potash, were also mingled with it."
As top dressing to grass it was ap-
piled one bushel to square rod on
early potatoes, a pint to hill.

Room for More Sheep.

Last year we paid to foreign coun-
tries fifty millions of dollars for wool
en- goods and eleven millions of dol
lars for manufactured goods. When
we have in the country twenty mil
lions more sheep than we now have we
shall only produce what wool we use
and yet there is no country on earth
where it would seem sheep could be
raised so proftably as in the United
States. But we are coming every year
nearer to supplying our own markets
with the wool they demand. In 1875
the wool clip of the country was near
ly 200,000.000 pounds, while in 1860 il
was only 65,000,O0O.

Profits Of Poultry.

Poultry as source Of profit, is gen.
orally undervalued by most farmers,
for, from the hap-hazard style they are
kept in, perhaps there is not much
prolit-nor would there be in any 9TH
er farm stock-if no more care or at
tention was devoted to them than
there is usually bestowed upon poul-
try. If oaly the multitude of insects
destroyed by poultry. $50 injurious to
the crops Of the farme) are consid-
cred, they arc of great value, while
their guano, if properly saved, is
worth what it costs to feed them.
Farmers are too prone TO conclude
that chickens eat their heads off,"
when, If they had kept correct ac-
count OF all the food furnished, the
number Of eggs laid chickens sold, and
those eaten by their families, they
would discover evidence sufficient to
convince them that their prejudice
was without reason or foundation.
When poultry have to roost in trees,
scratch in neighbours garden for a
living, and are not considered worthy
of attention, they are truly of-not
much account. Common fowls, which
may possess good laying qualities, de-
rive those good traits from some strain
of pure-bred fowls, but if allowed 10
intermingle promiscuously, will event.
ually become so crossed that the lay
ing propensity is destroyed or bred
out. Ii would be the same with pure
bred herd-book cattle unless kept pure.
There are several varieties Of pure
bred fowls that are very profitable as
egg producers, some laying as many
as eighteen dozen in one year. At the
average price of thirty cents per doz-
en-, this amounts to $40 per hen.
This is not mere surmising, for have
had hens that laid twenty-one dozen
in n year.
If farmers who think poultry does
not pay. would give their feathered
stock to their sous or daughters, with
permission to enjoy and own any
profit that might accrue from keeping
them, they would soon be convinced
that "there's something in it." Poul-
try rearing, in some parts CT the coun-
try, by ladies, is indeed quite extern
sively carried on.
There is certainly ne more health-pro-
noting exercise than tina. afforded by
caring for, or having the management
of flock of poultry, and if the flock is
one of any Of the pure breeds, there is
in addition to the exhilarating infiu-
ence, an enthusiasm that causes what
might otherwise be considered task,
to become pleasure, and therefore
profit and pleasure are happily COM
bined. A young lady in Bethel, Penn
sylvania, during The year 1874, kept a
strict account of all the expenditures
for feed, etc, for her yard of fowls,
and at the regular market prices for
eggs and chickens, she cleared, above
all expenses, three hundred and sixty
dollars, besides having more stock on
hand than she started with. Is not
this an incentive sufficient to awaken
an interest among the numerous fail
readers of the Farmer in favor of gal
linaceous stock 1t is certainly worthy
Of emulation.-Fd and Garden.

0yerworking.

A lady writing to an exchange says !:
II want TO say few words to farm
ers' wives who complain SO much of
being overworked, for /, too, belong
10 this class. Is it not to great ex-
tent our own fault that we are always
overworked | think the great cause
of it lies in two things: First,we think
moro of little money that it would
take TO hire a suitable person to help
us in busy times than we do of our
health. We do not consider how es-
sential it is that mothers should re-
main here with their little ones as long
as ii is Gods will, and that health is
worth more to mothers than money.
Then again, in the second place, the
work in many families is not as equal
" divided as it should be between the
male and female members Of the fami-
lv. Each must do his or her share, or
some one will be overworked; and |
think in most cases it is the wife's own
fault. because of her disposition and
management of her family, if she be
overworked. If, on her part, she is al
ways pleasant, kind and loving, and
always ready to lend helping hand
to her husband when she can, there
are few men but what will be just as
ready and willing to do what they can
to take burdens from her shoulders
and to lessen her cares. Every MEM
Der of farmers family, that is old
enough, should know how to milk a
cow. Then if the men have the most
time they should do the milking, es-
pecially in bad weather. But when
the men are very busy, and the wealth
er is good, and a woman is so situated
that she can go out to milk, then let
her show her kindness by milking the
cows. If the wife and mother has the
proper love and respect Of her hus-
band and sons, they will not allow her
to milk the cows or carry in wood in
bad weather. And if she has not their
proper love and respect, then it must
surely be her own fault. Boys that
are taught to be kind to their mothers
and sisters will be kind to their wives.
BE careful, then, all We who complain
of being overworked. Be careful 10
train up your children right, that
when they take their places as men
and women in the world, we will not
hear the continued cry of being dis
satisfied and overworked, but we shall
witness everywhere happy, cheerful
farmers families"

Effect Of D-oath on Trees.

In an article under the above cap
ton that recently appeared in the
Country Gentleman, Mr.. NJ. B. Bate
ham, after saying some sensible things,
as he usually does, uses the following
language: excepting in mind the fact
that the natural position of the root
lets of trees, like those of corn and
potatoes, is in the surface soil, say four
to six inches in depth, where they can
get the benefit of the rains and gases
of the atmosphere, and remembering
that most of these feeders die of nat
urally when growth is finished in the
autumn, TO be renewed in the spring,
we can see the Importance of stirring
and enriching the soil of orchards. if
at all hard or poor-and especially the
folly of letting orchards be occupied
with grass in regions where drouths
are liable TO occur" Gracious what
a sentenceD To one or two ideas in
the above extended sentence feel CON-
PEELED to object. There seems to be a
contradiction in the statement that the
feeding roots of trees run near the sur
face of the soil, and that, as he says,
in another sentence, good tillage is
essential to wholesome growth" If
good tillage," which destroys all
roots within four to six inches of the
surface, sis essential to wholesome
growth" these roots so destroyed are
not necessary to growth. But if, on
the other hand, these roots are neces-
sary to wholesome growth, that course
of tillage that necessarily results in
their destruction cannot but be inju-
rious to the tree. The presence of
grass in the soil probably does take a
portion of the moisture and plant food
from the roots of the trees, but this
certainly cannot injure the tree more
than the destruction Of roots them
selves, as is necessarily the case in the
case Of good tillage.

Thomas Mehan lays down the fol-
lowing rule: The proper distance to
SOW or plant anything is so that the
roots of the plants, whatever they are,
should about touch each other. Thus
a wheat plant requires for its best de-
velopment to be about four or six
inches from another plant, to have for
its own self to occupy about sixteen
TO thirty-six square inches of surface.
