FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
An English farmer, very success
full during ten years in fattening cattle
and sheep, supplied q ration made as
follows: Eight bushels corn soaked in
ten pals of water two days, then SIM
me. for an hour or SO, afterward mix
with fourteen pounds Of coarse, cheap
sugar, and commingle with cut straw,
hay or other fodder.
The best soil for beans is mellow
clay or sandy loan. Prepare the land
as for corn, fitted in the incest manner.
Plant tan days or two weeks after plant
ing corn. Marrow beans require one
and one-eighth bushels seed per acre;
mediums, three-fourths of a bushel;
pea beans, one-half bushel; kidney or
other large beans, more, in proportion
to size. A fair crop is twenty bushels
per acre.-C0r. Coustrv Gentleman. g
One hog, kept to the age of one
year, if furnished with suitable ma
terial, will convert, carload per
month into fertilizer, which will pro-
duce good crop of corn. Twelve
loads q year, multiplied by the number
of hogs usually kept by our farmers,
would make sufficient fertilizing SUBJ
stance to grow the corn used by them;
or in other words, the hog would pay
in manure its keeping. In this way
we can afford to make pork at very
low prices, but in no other way can it
be done without loss. ltural

gests an excellent method for preserv-
ing ice in the sick room during hot
nights. a piece Of flannel from nine
to ten inches square should be placed
over . goodrsised goblet or lumber,
and it should be allowed to drop down
into the vessel to about half its depth,
and then it should be secured by tying
cord around the glass over the fan:
mel. In the flannel cup, so formed,
pieces of ice may be preserved many
hours If another piece Of flannel, foul
or i've inches square, be used as 8
loose cover to the ice cup.-Foster'.
