Bone Dust for Ton Dressing.

r. T., Saxonville, r. l., asks if bone
dust would not make Il good dressing tor
grass land to be applied this fall. Well,
as for that matter, we think it would Ike
better TO compost the bone dust with
yard manure and then apply the COM
post. If six or eight cords of this fine
compost were applied to the acre it
would not only furnish Il good dressing
of itself, which the land would be the
better for, would act as sort OF mulch
or protection for the grass roots, and if
the soil was at all inclined to 'heave," it
would be positive benefit. But our
correspondent must remember that the:
disadvantage of using bone dust or
ground bone, alone, as a fertilizer, is the
fact of its slow action. The nitrogen
and phosphoric acid which the bones
contain is very slowly rendered available
for plants, on account of their insoluble
nature; but where the bone dust is added
to yard or barn manure as compost,
the bones cause the mass to ferment
somewhat, and the heat cngcndcrcd lib
crates the phosphoric acid and nitrogen,
which is absorbed by the manure and
given out more quickly to plants when
brought into contact with them. Good
practice and the last scientific authori-
ties have united in recommending this
as the hest treatment for ground bone
and the hest manner of its application to
plants. Fifty pounds of ground bone to
a cord Of manure would he sufficient

Fall Flowing.

We make the following extract from
the New England Farmer on the subject
of fall plowing: whether to plow in
fall or spring is question that has been
discussed for many years, and will CON
tinue to be discussed for Il great many
years vet to come. 1t is one of those
questions that is continually presenting
itself. and must be answered in each case
according to the peculiar circumstances
attending it. Asa general rule it may,
perhaps, be safe to say plow light sandy
land late in the spring, and heavy clay in
the fall. Heavy clay land seems TO require
the alternate freezing and thawing of
winter to pulvcrize and fit it for the next
years crop, while light lands need no pull
yerization. Sandy land will often lose
much by blowing away when not covered
by growing crops. Yet there are cXccp-
tions to this as to all general rules. For
Il corn cropit is thought, by many, that
spring blowing is decidedly best on any
land, provided the blowing is done late,
Just before planting, and the plow not
allowed to run more than three or four
inches deep. 1t is certainly a great mis-
take to plow heavy land in the spring,
whether old ground or sod, before it is
dry enough TO crumblc and pulverize. II
plowed while too wet it is rendered lumpy,
and the Jumps, will not pulverize all
summer. Wet land plowcd in the fall
will have the advantage of the winter
freezing to pulverize the hard Jumps, and
this may be, and probably is one reason
why many farmers have supposed that
fall plowing is always preferable.

Advantages of Liberal Feeding.

The National Live Stool: journal says:
"If the sheep breeders faith in the cf-
ficacy of liberality in the matter of feed
ing begins to falter, walk through the
pens of, a frst-class fair, and converse
ton with few of the more successful
breeders, will serve to dispel such doubts
as sure as the morning sun scatters the
mists from the mountain side. Size, SYM
metry, vigor, precocity and proliiicacy
depend for their perfect development
upon the wcll-fllcd granary and richly
clothed pasture of the husbandman as
surely as these and other attributes of
perfection are influenced by the breed
cr's art. Not alone in the sheep depart
ment is this apparent. 1t finds empha-
sis in every ring, from that of the draft
horse to thepigcon coop. 1t sdemanded
not only by the novice, who secs moth
ing beyond the graceful lines of contour,
but by the expert, as well, who recog-
nizcs it is necessary to insure transmits
sion Of those virtues he seeks to repro
ducc and intensity in the offspring.
The experienced and successful breeder
recognizes no better reason for Withhold
ing food from animals under his care
than he finds for restricting the members
of his household in the same direction.
Given the proper kind and variety of
food, the quantity can safely be left TO
the instincts of the animal. If regularly
supplied, no more will be taken than
can properly be assimilated, while wit
less quantity some dctrimcnt must en-
sue. Blood will tell > but its story
will never be complete unless the scenes
of its triumphs he laid in proximity to
productive pastures and wcll-tillcd
troughs."
While generous feeding is thus placed
among the essentials to the highest sue
cess, the SAME attention 10 dctail-varie-
ty, quantity, quality, and the influence
Of these upon fleece and tlc,h-will be re-
quircd that is bestowed upon what are
commonly considered thu higher arts of

food at improper hours, or improper food
at any time-in short all errors of man.
agement-are as cautiously avoided by
the successful breeder as would be the
use of z ram possessing some obiectiona-
bic popularity of form or fleece, even
though the result of mistakes in the one
should not prove so permanently disas-
trous as those in the other direction.

Duration Of the Males influence.

Mr.. Lewis Wright has theI following
,say OH this subject in the FancierS S
Journal:
1t seems at least in the highest degree
probable that the influence of given
male lasts longer if no successor he in
troduced, or that, in fact, it may either
remain for certain time, if undisturbcd,
or if disturbed, be in less time but
how much less is hardly certain ncu-
tralized or rather overpowered by the
second. 1t seems nearly certain that
whatever the precise time be, the lntiu-
rnce of a given malc in ordinary cases
last for considerable less time than
has been generally supposed.
1t seems established that there is such
thing as an extraordinary influence.
That the first union often has a lasting
effect is we'll known. Hens first crossed
with a Polish cock have been known to
show tendency to breed crested chicks
all their lives; and cases in my own
knowledge have led me to think it eN-
tremely probable that, say Brahma hen
tirst crossed by a Dorking, might throw
occasionally tive-tocd chicks afterwards.
For in all these cases it is to he observed
that the plumagc isgenerally unaffected,
and that the old taint is far more likely
to show in some peculiar point, such as
a top-knot, pea-comb, or Il fifth toe,
which has become as it were very COM
ponent part of the breed.
"a. But it also seems at least possible that
an occasional or single mesalliancc with
such strongly-marked variety as, say 4
Brahma, Poland or a Dorking, may
not be sufficient 10 disturb the actual
parentagc or the general plumage, and
yet enough influence may be given to
impress on portion of the chicks the
one peculiar point. Several cases OF this
nature have come within my notice, and
they may serve to account for many oc-
currences which have been attributed to
impurity of blood in the actual parent.
1t appears, in short, as if in a certain
sense as if chick may "hare. two
fathers" Further light on this interest
ing part of The subject is much to be
desired.
| am at all events inclined to the opin-
ion that in ordinary eases, when male
bird is changed for another of the same
breed, about Il week may be relied upon
to determine the paternity. In case OF
an alien or markedly inferior bird, J.
should however, certainly allow longer;
and ! am also inclined to think that it
there have been very few hens the intlu-
ence might probably last longer than if
they We're numerous.
