Mixing Soils.

Deep blowing may be injudiclous in some
cases The deeper soil may contain some sub
stance that is harmful to vegetation, this fact
can usually be discovered by the previous step,
always to be taken before p.plowing in
moist lands, namely deep draining that should
be done before any attempt is made at deep
blowing. Even good draining is rarely eff
fective at once. Time is needed for water to
ind its proper channels. Possibly for two
years, or more, Il subsoil pillow may raise as
much subsoil, IA MAJ be probably mixed
with the surface soil the first and second sea
son. In all cases of deep draining and deep
blowing exposure to a winters freezing and Il
summers following will improve and mellow
twill dry and OXygenate il so that it may
do but little harm If well mixed with the sur
face soil.
Such draining and deep blowing should be
done IN the latest autumnal months, that the
frost may mellow the soil and kill the cocoons
of insects that have found a winters home in
the deeper soil, We see then great room for
discretion IN deep plowlng. Failures in crops
do not show the principles on which deep
blowing is based to be false, but local pecul.
iaritles exist, that demand wisdom IN their
treatment. Successful cultivation of large
tracts of land must be based on science and
experience. No royal road to the cultivation
Of the soil is known.
One result of value IN draining and plow-
ing is that they have tendency to mix soils
that are near each other. Some soils do not
possess all the constituents to the growth OF
plants. They may possess too much of one
AMI too little Of another. Peaty soils contain
too large a per cent. Of vegetable material.
They may be improved by sand or clay, or
lime A sandy soil needs the aid Of clay to
give it consistency. A clayey soil may need
sand to give it more porOslty. Sandy soil some
times rests on clay, and cayey soils may rest
on sand. MlngIe them and they yield paying
crops. This course Of treatment improves
greatly the qualities of the soil. 1t consoi-
dates the peats and sands and renders loose
and porous the nearly impcnetrable clays.

Breeding Cows for Butter.

When we speak of "A heifer by an Alderney
bull and IA common cow says the american
Datrymaa, rs being "Aaif Alderney," the word
half does not by any means indicate the
measure Of Aderney characteristics which the
heifer possesses. 1t might better be said that
she is 'hdLf Attorney by blood and Screa.
eighhts by nature" The power to impress the
characteristics of their own breed called pre-
potency, is so stong in some wcllbred bulls
that many of their offspring might pass for
pure bloOds others possess this quality in so
light degree that their offspring take after
their race but slightly. Such bulls are, how
ever, very rare among fullbloods, though
among the grades of any breed and among
cross breeds of dissimilar breeds they are the
rule rather than the exception Hence in breed
ing for any particular quality. pure-bred bull
should always be used in preference to grade.
With regard to breeding COWS for butter, the
DIiryrnGn says:
Those who wish to make milk will breed
from bulls of the great milking breeds; and
in butter sections 1t is equally important to use
only bulls of the best butter breeds the Jer-
scys and Guernseys standing preeminent. But
among Guernsey and jersey herds we do not
find all the cows good butter makers, while
among those which are really good there is
An enormous disparity.
What we want is to be able to breed great
butter ylelderS every time. Ihls might occur
occasionally, or often, when the progeny of
one great butter-cow is rather closely inbred,
but with very much greater probability when
the blood of different families, each famous
for its butter yield, is combined. In each there
is "prepotency" for butter production, and as
the families are not akin, we really combine
the two, and if each prepotency is equal to the
other, then We have double force, whereas,
IN breeding in one family we have only the
single force, no matter how its parts are co.l.
bined.
This, then, seems to be the rule for breeding
prodlgies of any kind: First, discover or es-
tsbllsh IN two families the particular prePo-
tency-that is, the quality which produces
similar characteristics, say great yield of but
ter, IN many, or all the individuals of family
secoad, combine these two families. 1t is, of
course, a question whether the tendency will
continue in double power. If not then we
must continue to combine the excellencies-
that is, the propotencies-of two families, just
Is We breed grades now.

The dog law which went into effect July l.,
1879 requires the assessor to list all dogs OF
whatever kind, and return the list, with that Of
other property, to the county clerk. The H.
cense.fee tor each dog is 81, which forms a
fund out of which losses of sheep by dogs is to
be paid on the LIST of March Of each year,-the
residue, If any, beng turned into the township
school.fund. We haven't much faith In the
faithful collection Of this lIcense-fee, because
1t will be difficult to fix the ownership OF dogs.
At any rate, when 1t becomes known in a
neghborhood that dog is without an owner,
the boys can shoot it; and that will afford
some amusement. There are very few good
dogs IN the country. A correspondent of the
Country Gentleman writes about one as FOL
lows:
II am satisfied that no breed of dogs is so
useful on farm rs pure collie. The breed
we have will bring the COWS home to be MIXED,
and drive them back to pasture; find the sheep
and bring them to their Enclosure every eve
ming; is remarkably fond Of children, but does
not like cats. We live some two miles from
post office, and on mall-day our collie Will 60
and bring the papers and letters Just us safe aN
a man would do it. We have Il harness for
him; it goes round the neck and iastens round
the body, with pocket on either side, having
Il flap buckled over. Then gets on his brass
collar with pointed edges, as protection from
other dogs on the road, very few of which Will
come near this dress. Before starting he has
lunch, and is promised a good dinner if smart
back. ABOUT twenty minutes is the time he
takes 10 10 he message, unless delayed at the
office, whcgr he announces his arrival with a
loud biF>iuc In the busy time of spring and
harvest t0s letercarrier proves of very great
advantage"
The owners Of such dogs will gladly pay
their dollar; but, unfortunately, such animals
are extremely rare

HnndllpR Hulls,

Bulls are generally ugly and dangerous anil
mails IL Keep on a farm, and, Individually, we
desire to have nothing TO do with them. COL
Curtis, in recent number Of the Rur0. New.
Yorker, gave some excellent rules for their
handling portion of which is as follows:
"lt Is getting to be frequent occurrence
for some one 10 he injured by II bull. One Of
my ueighbOrs was KIN Dcked over not long since,
and would have been killed but for the attacks
Of several young bulls upon the old one who
was trying to gorge his owner, The bulls
were ali running loose an the yard, and the old
one was fed meal in tub When the neigh
Dor WAS trying to turn the Tub over so rs to
put meal into 1t, the bull impatient for the
meal, began To gore him. THIS bull had
hooked Il hired man before, and was inclined
to assert his rights to the mastery of the barn
yard Such an animal should not be allowed
to run loose. 1t is always dangerous. He
should have been confined in u stall, and both
his food and water taken to him If necessary
to keep him quiet, slipping moose with u
stout rope should have been put around his
neck. Tying by the ring in bulls nose is
not safe il the bull is inclined to be ugly, The
slipping moose will never be frightened but
once, AS one lesson will teach the bull that he
is in subsection to the rope. This is the first
lesson to teach any bull that he must yield to
his master. This lesson should be taught when
the bull is IA calf, by making him lead, back
up and stand around at the word. When this
is done and followed up there will scarcely
ever be any danger from bulls, provided GER
tam other equally sensible rules shall be fol-
lowed.
1--WE have pointed out the most important,
and will only add that, among a large number
of bulls, Ayrshires, and Jerseys, and natives,
we have never had an ugly one which was
broken or trained when young. The rules
which we have mentioned are also carefully
enforced The winter is a good time, if it has
not been done, TO train the calves and get them
used to the halter. After being tied up few
days, with a halter placed on the head, not on
the neck, they will soon learn to lead, after
which they should be drilled in backing up
and standing around. This last lesson gives
them the idea of getting out of the way, and
lessons the danger OF their pitching at persons
afterwards and goring them. The halter
should be put behind the ears, 50 it will not
touch the eyes"

ABOUT SUGAR-We do not know the dis.
advantages attending the raising of sugar cane
in this latitudc, but the AmertcaH MdchiHiSt
says that the farmers Of any neighborhood by
clubbing together and investing $4,000 in su.
gar machinery, suitable for farm work, have
it in their power, not only to benefit themselves
largely, but also to inaugurate policy which
thousands of others throughout the country
may follow with profit"
The early amber" sugar cane is said to
rpen within 80 days from planting, and with
the proper machinery only twelve hours is re-
quired to manufacture it into sugar.

FEED WHOLE CoRN-One fruitful source OF
collie in horses is cracked corn. If corn Is to be
fed use whole corn; II is more likely to be per
fectly mastIcated thOn cracked corn, and its
imperfect mastlcauon causes the collie. II is
also unwise to feed grain to a hungry horse,
for then large proportion is very apt to be
swallowed without being properly masticated.
THIS can be seen IN their weddings. Always
let the edge of horses hunger be taken of
with iced of hay before feeding grain. Half
an hour extra spent in feeding, when on the
road Will bring you home half an hour earlier
at night.
