FARM AND PRESIDE.
Saock-RaiAInG.

There are few localities in which stock
growing of some kind may not be made
profitable. First, make the pasture and
arrange for the winters feed, and then
get good stock, and there is money in it.
In the wide field of agriculture no
branch is so important, none so interest
ing, none 50 profitable as stock breeding.
1t is, indeed, the highest branch of farm
ing; that upon which all others more or
less depend-to which all others more or
less contribute. The English people, who
are unquestionably the best farmers in
the world, and have always been farm
ing people par excellence, have CRYSTAL
lied this truth into three sentences No
cattle no manure. No manure no grass.
No grass no cattle. This is the true doc
trine-the trinity of good farming the
world over. Within the compass of these
three sentences Is expressed the whole
philosophy of mixed, husbandry-a phi
lesophy founded on facts and founded by
science. Let us look at the matter a
little more in detail. 1t is an indisputa,
BILE fact that all crops taken from the
ground remove more or less plant-foOd
from the soil, and that in time the most
fertile soil in the world will become ex.
hausted by continued cropping without
manuring. This being true, it is mani
fest that manuring is absolutely neces
sary to the preservation of the fertility
of any and every farm. The question
then, with every farmer should be, how
can best keep my land in hearth How
most easily restore the plant-foOd takel
away by each crop? For by far tn
greater majority of farmers the answer t
these questions Is, by keeping cattle t
make manure. Farmers living nea
cities may purchase manure enough t
do them, and can, in that case, devot
all their land, labor and capital to grow
ing crops that will sell. But for farmer
at large the manure that is bought doe
not pay, if it alone is used. Home-mad
manure is the best, as well as the cheap
est; and for homemade manure tn
farmer must depend upon his ewn cattle
Again, it is with farm products as wit
other things-the manufactured articl
is worth more than the raw materia
Corn, oats, hay, ETC., are the raw mate
rails of the farm, while horses. mule
cattle, sheep and hogs are the manufaI
turcd articles. 1t is much more profit;
bic, then, for the farmer to make h
corn and hay into meat than to sell
raw. Again, the farmer who grows stOc
may always have something to sell, viii
he who only raises corn or any other ere
to sell is in the market but once a yea
And, finally, no branch OF farming T
quires so little heavy work, whiIo MOI
offers so inviting field for he intelIigel
labor of the educated farmer. Hence
IS that we place stOck-breeding at Il
- art of farming as the most importar
the most pleasant and the most profit

How TO Treat Poor Soil.

Exhausted soils can be restored to
their original fertility by proper treat
ment. The character of the land and
the way it has been injured make it i'm
possible to give specific directions, vet
there are few general principles that
may be applied benefcially in any case.
One of the prime necessities is blowing
and working the land to give exposure to
atmospheric influences. Sunlight, rain.
and the circulation OF the air in the soils
have a wonderful effect in increasing it's
fertility. The warmth of the sun can
not penetrate far without the ground is
turned up by blowing. Exhausted
fields should be plowed somewhat deeper
than when last cultivated, to mix the
sub-soil with that from the surface.
This is very important The deepening
process should be gradual. Too much
of this unprepared sub soil should not be
thrown up at once. y suitable mixture
of the soil can be reached by frequent
plowings, going an inch deeper each time
This thorough blowing and pulverization
of the soil, with the admixture of the
subsoil, will render available whatever
latent plant food there NAV be in the
field, Apply fertilizers with a liberal
hand. The kind to be used must be de-
termined by the character of the land,
it's location and the wishes of the owner
If it is near the barn and the farmer is in
no hurry for the crop, and has plenty of
stable manure to use, the land may be
plOwed in the spring, and a good coating
of manure thoroughly narrowed in.
During the summer and fall, pillow two
or three times, taking pains to deepen a
little each time. At the last fall plOw-
ing, apply manure, and the next spring,
alter blowing and manuring, a crop may
be started. Give good cultivation and
manure the land heavily when it is
cropped and it will in time be brought
to high state of fertility. In this case
green manuring may be tried. Give the
same amount of blowing, make an appli-
cation of very fine manure, harrow in
and SOW rye, oats or buckwheat. When
several inches high, plow under. Let
the land rest few weeks, apply ashes,
SOW another crop and treat in like man
ner. These successive grOwths of rye or
buckwheat being plowed in, will furnish
a great deal of plant food and may be &C
cumulated in the soil and made ready
for future crops. If this course is con-
tinued for a couple of years, good crops
will be certain. Special fertilizers are
made only for special crops, and no reli-
ance can be placed upon them for perma-
nent results. They will do a great deal
toward the production OF the crop, but
are not designed to effect great improve
ment in the character of the soil Barn
manure must be the great reliance
farmer in making good land out et
that which has been run down.--N J.

A SinrmIar Eacf.

a recent traveller in Mexico, who Wis
tied the mines there during his Journeys,
says he was much astonished at seeing
the men who carry the ore come out OF
the mine each with one eye shut. The
foreman, seeing his surprise, explained
the matter. He said the candles belong
ing to the taraterOs (whO drill and blast)
d. not give sufficient light in the drifts,
where it is consequently quite dark, but
where, nevertheless, the t1roter0s see
we'll enough not TO run their heads
against the rocks. But on emerging into
daylight they would be blinded did they
not take precautionary measures. For
this reason, as they approach the mouth
o the shaft ut the point where they catch
the first glimpse of light. they drop the
eyelid of one eye, and keep this down
while discharging the ore, and until they
have re-descended the shaft. When
they are again in the dark, they open
the eye hitherto kept in reserve, and at
once they see everything distinctly ;
while the other eye, previously open and
blinded somewhat by the daylight, per-
ceives nothing at all.

Those farmers who have changed over
from being large growers of grain for
shipment TO large growers of stock, on
farms formerly under a pillow, but now
seeded down, do not need reminding OF
the diminished strain upon the muscle

Farms are Made Enduring by Keeping
stock.

Farming in the west will be pursued,
in the future, by cry different system
from that now pIacticed, in that there
will be less sold off the farm in the crude
state The result is inevitable for two
reasons, viz: First, that the land will
not stand the steady annual cropping, no
return being made to compensate for the
drain; second that men are very gen
orally convinced that no profit can be
made by selling grain in the crude state.
IF the grain be led in q profitable man
ner; there are two material gains made (;
not the least, and by far the most endur-
ing, is found in the maintenance OF the
strength OF our land.
The took we iced and sell is soon gone
from our sight, and each shipment counts
out its own profit or loss. No lndelIble
mark is left, except the mark which the
manure makes, and this mark will be
more enduring than most men accredit
It with being. Forest lands that are
rich, are said by some to be more endur-
ing than prairie lands, because they have
for q longer time received vegetable de-
posit upOn the surface, and upon the re-
nnoval of the timber, the roots of trees
and decayed stumps and logs furnish fer
tiIizing material for a long time. If
there be any truth in this notion favor
able to timbered land, then it behOoves
western men to compensate by keep
ing stock upon their farms from the
f rst, and to husband the manure care
fully.
But few men know, because they have
not tried it, how much farm stock can
be well maintained upon farm having
plenty of meadow and pasture land, and
q very few acres relatively of tillage
land. None but those who have tried it,
know how little labor will run large
farm, mainly in grass, and well stocked,
and none but those who have tried it,

j. WILKES BOOTH.
The Absurd Story about his Remains
COntrOVerGed- of their
IdenII6C alton and Delivery
10 his Friends.

A number of absured stories are going
the rounds of the press as to the DISPOSE
ton of the remains of J. Wilkes Booth.
The latest is by Captain Oliver P. Leslie,
of Pittsbnrg, who states that the body
was sunk in Il lake seven miles
below Alexandra, Virginia. The in
controvertible facts are as follows:
The remains were ordered to be
delivered to the friends of Booth by
President Andrew johnson. John II.
Weaver, the undertaken, of this city, was
sent to Washington by his family to
bring them home for interment. A box
was taken up from the arsenal building
and delivered to him. 1t was brought
by him to Baltimore, and was examined
by him and reporter of the Gazette at
his room on West Fayette street, near
Holiday. They found in it a skeleton
wrapped in an army blanket. When the
blanket was taken of the skeleton was
covered with a powder having the ap-
pearance of sOap-stOne, and on being
rubbed between the fingers it disap-
peared just as soap-stOne will do. On
the right foot was an army shoe, cut
open at the top its entire length, as if to
accommodate q swollen foot. The other
was a large cavalry boot. The reporter
| of the Gazette examined the bones in and
above the shoe, and for some time could
| find no injury. Believing the remains
/ to be those of Booth, the reporter made
/ a persistent examination, and at last dis
/ covered the leg was fractured clean
( through lust above the ankle. The frac-
/ tUre was clearly marked, and the pOr-
! ton below the fracture being lifted out
| of the box, the ends of the bones were of
pure witness, leaving no doubt as to
| the fact that Booth in leaping from the
box has fractured his right leg and not
sprained it. Still, the identity of the
remains were not satisfactorily estab-
li,hed, especially as there was no portion
of the spinal vertebT8 missing and no
mark of any bullet upon them. A
brother of Booth was sent for, who was
told by Mr.. Weaver as to the doubts as
to the identity of his remains, and Mr..
Weaver requested him TO think of some
popularity, if any existed, in the struc-
ture of his brother that would forever
remove any doubt. After thinking for a
brief while. the brother said that all he
could remember was that his brother
had his tooth plugged with gold in a
peculiar manner. He described the 10
cation OF the tooth, and drew with
pencil the shape of the plug, which was
of unusual size. The teeth were taken
out, and the tooth was found plugged
Just as described by the brother, and
forever setting at rest any question of
the identity of the remains. The re-
mains were buried in Greenmount GENE
terry, in the same lot with his grand
father, father, and other children of the
family.---Bdh more Gazette.
