The Turf, Field and Farm" has begun
its 30lh volume. It. was established at a
time when the literature of sport was at a
discount in America. 1t at once made war
upon the prize RUG and other debasing
pastimes and thus commended itself to the
favor of gentlemen. 1. employed frst-rate
talent and presented legitimate sport in a
way which won for it patrous among the
wealthy and tie refined. 1t has done
much to elevate the literature of sport, and
has paved the way for q whole cloud of i'm
itators. The numerous other sporting
journals now in existence would never have
been started had it not been for the puri-
flying work of the Turf, Field and Farm. "
The pioneer journal has always been pa
per of earnest convictions, and it has fought
many stubborn battles for the right, not one
CT which it has lost. 1t is fea: less as we'll
as able in the discussion of every subject
which comes within its line. Articles from
practical breeders, and dissertations on the
turf, boating. athletics, the stage, the rifle,
dogs, &C., from a weekly feast which is
worth double the price of the paper. As
an exponent and defender of Legitimate
sport and a faithful chronicler of sporting
news, the "T1r Field and Farm" is with
out rival. 1t is published at 81, Park

PROTECTION AGAINST RUST.
For farm implements, having met
al surfaces exposed, for knives and
forks, and other household apparatus,
indeed for all metals liable to be in
jured by rusting, we know of no
simpler, more effective application
than that furnished by the late Prof.
Olmsted. He used it on air-pumps,
telescopes and various other appara-
tus. Take any quantity ofgood lard,
and to every half pound or SO add of
common resin an amount about equal
to half the size of an egg-a little
more or less is of no consequence,
Melt them slowly together, stirring
as they cool. Apply this with a
cloth or otherwise, just enough to
give thin coating to the metal sur
face to be protected. 1t can be.wiped
off nearly clean from surfaces where
it will be undesirable, as in the case
of knives and forks, etc. The resin
prevents rancidity, and the mixture
excludes the ready access of air and
moisture. A fresh application may
be needed when the coating is washed
off by storms or otherwise.
A COW will yield greater weight
in butter than she can store up in
fat. An animal might give the pro-
duct of two pounds of butter in day
while alfthat quantity could be
laid On in fat.
For roses in pots and almost any
house plants good liqnid fertilizer
may be prepared by disselving SCOT
in warm water. Bone ground makes
an excellent for all plants.
A correspondent writes: Last sea
son / kept the striped bugs from my
cucumbers by saturating ashes with
kerosene and applying handful in
hill.
Turnips are healthful for horses.
They should be cut in slices, or what
is bette, pulped finely and mixed
with little meal and salt. Rutaba-
gas are better than white turnips
A cellar that is cool, dry and dark
and yet well ventilated, is the best
place for preserving potatoes in large
quantities, when very small guam
titles are to he preserved there
is nothing like dry sand. The same
may be said of fruits and roots of all
sorts.
Plant tansy at the roots of your
plum trees, or hang branches of the
plant on the limbs of the trees, and
you will not be annoyed by curculio.
An old and successful fruit grower
furnishes the above, and says it is the
most successful curculio preventive
he ever tried.
Parsnips, carrots, Swedish turnips,
and especially mangel-wurtzel, will
will all fatten pigs. These roots
ought not to be given in a raw state,
but always cooked and mixed with
beans, peas, Indian corn, oats, barley,
all of which must be ground into
meal. When pigs are fed such cook
ed food as we have stated, the pork
acquires peculiarly rich flaver, and
