FERTILIz1Na INFLuENcE OF SNoy

FERTILIZING INFLUENcE OF Snow.
Snow is often called the "poor
mans manure" and if it is true that
it has any manurial value, the farm
er's prospects for the next season are
certainly fatteriny. The body OF
snow upon the ground in all the
Northern and Middle States is very
great, and millions Of acres Of land are
covered by it, as with blanket of the
whitest wool. 1t is probable that sci.
dom, perhaps never. has SO wide au
area Of our country been covered as
during this month Of January, 1877,
The question whether snow is capable
of affording to lands any Of the e!e.
ments of fertility is one often asked
and in reply it may be SAID that i,
probable is. The atmosphere hold.
ammonia and some other. nitrogenou.
products, which are !undoubtedl,
brought to the soil by snowaakes, a.
we'll as by rain drops. Experiment,
both here and abroad would seem tc
prove the truth Of this conclusion
Rains are not only valuable for the
moisture which they supply, but fol
what they bring to us from the atmos
phere. During a thunder storm nitric
acid is produced in considerable quan
titles, and, dissolved in the rain drop.
70 a high degree Of attenuation, it.
effects upon soils are highly salutary

Last year, Mr.. Ross Of London, O.,

which was ewes. From these be raiss d
238 lambs, which, with his wool. he
sold for 1,246, return Of sl38 33
for each 500 invested. This show.
ing speaks very highly for the profits
of sheep husbandry when the right
kind Of stock is purchased and proper
care is given it. We need millions
more Of sheep in this country before
our supply Of wool will meet the pres
ent demand, and if thoroughbred
sheep only are kept. they will be found
far more profitable than will common
natives. The thoroughbreds will cost
but very little more, they will require
no more food or care, and will be
much more valuable for both wool and
mutton,

The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1877-03-01

Yesterday afternoon an exhibition
was given at the corner Of Howard aud
Ninth streets Of a new and very sim.
pie method Of tanning vicious horses,
which is claimed to be superior to any
10 use. The fist trial was with !
kicking or bucking mare which, her
owner says, has allowed no rider on
her back for five years. She became
tame and gentle in as many minutes,
and allowed herself to be ridden about
without sign of her former wildness.
The means by which this result was
accomplished consists Of a piece Of
light rope, which is passed around the
front jaw of the mare, just above the
upper teeth, crossed in her mouth, and
then secured back of her neck. It is
claimed that no horse will kick or jump
when thus secured, and that buck.
ing horse after receiving this treat
mcnt a few times will abandon his
vicious ways forever. A very simple
method was also shown by which
kicking horse can be shod. It con.
sists in connecting the animals head
and tail by means Of a rope fastened
to the tail and then to the bit, and
drawn tightly enough to incline tho
horses head to one side. It is claimed
that it is absolutely impossible for the
horse to kick on the side of the rope.
At the trial yesterday horse which
Tor years had to be bound on the
ground to be shod. suffered the black.
smith to operate upon him without
attempting to kick while secured in
the manner dcscribed.-[San Francis
