A HINT TO CARELESS BOYS AND
MEN-To make breacby cattle an ex-
cellent way is, when turning stock in
to or out of the pasture, instead OF
letting down all the bars, to leave two
or three of the lower rails 10 their
place, aud then by shouting or beat
ing to force the an:lnals to leap over
them. This is capital training for
teaching them to try their powers of
jumping where a top rail happens to
be of, and having achieved success
in this, to set all fences at defiance,
as inclination or the sight of an abun-
dant meal of grass or grain in neigh
boring field, may prompt them. Ans
other good way is to open gate bur
a little way and by threats or blows
compel the cattle to pass through it
Having learnt this lesson, some Of
them will soon manifest resoute
spirit to force their way into yards,
fields, or indeed into any place where
a gate or a door may have accidentally
been left open.

Coal Ashes as a Fertilizer are said
to be very beneficial for tomatoes and
potatoes, and to less extent for peas
and beans. Moreover, they improve
the mechanical condition OF the soil
and are therefore especially beneficial
to clayey and rigid land generally.
They should be worked in deeply and
uniformly in the proportion OF, say,
one part of ashes to two OF mold. A.
it takes a long tune TO decompose
them, their fertliziug properties are
slow in action, but continuous To
obtain the best advantage from their
use, some other kind of MANURE should
be applied in conjunction with them
As there are seldom enough for field
culture, the garden is the best place
in which to use them, and inasmuch
as they are generally considered mere
inconvenient refuse, all the advantage
secured from their use, will be clear
gain.

EXPOSING manure to air. either

Exposing manure to air, either in
the farm yard, or still worse in small
heaps in the open field, causes the
loss of a considerable amount of its
beneficial properties owing to the
evaporation or escape of some of its
fertiizing gases into the surrounding
air. BY sowing bushel or two of
gypsum over the surface of these heaps
however, and then super-imposing a
layer OF loan the deterioration, unless
the weather be very wet, will be ex-
tremely slight. This, as it readily
absorbs the volatile gases that are ever
striving to escape iuto the atmosphere,
will itself become rich, and may be ad
vantageously applied to crops requir
ing animal or vegetable manure The
gypsum also arrests the ammonia
which freely escapes from animal
excrement, and retains it for the sus
tenance OF the crops TO which it may
be applied.
