Seeding Down---Manuring.

A very sensible farmer writes 10 q
contemporary giving his views as to
seeding down, and surface manuring,
from which we CLEAN and condense as
follows: a .... ......
He aims to keep his land mainly in
grass, in the following manner, viz, by
seeding down on every crop offal
wheat; to NOW and pasture for one,
two or three years; then cut the first
crop of clover early, let the second get
good start, pillow it under, turn it over
again when we'll rotted, sowing the
seed on the rotted sward so turned up,
stirring the surface well with cultivator
and harrow. Glover sown on land so
treated takes better than when no
tibers or roots are left in the ground.
The frost does not harm the clover or
kill it, as when sown on naked tallow.
He finds plaster of great value. Sowed
plaster on portion of one piece this
last season, and that was far more sue
cessful than any not so treated.
A year ago as he states, he spread
barn-yard manure on the surface of the
land and plowed it under on one-half of
the field, on the other half spreading
the manure on the surface after the
wheat was sown, giving it q raking
over with the harrow. That portion
on which the manure was plowed un-
der, outgrew the other, materially. He
finds that land plowed when dry, re-
quiring three horses, to yield much
better returns than when plowed wet,
when two horses are able to turn the
soil as deep as three in the other case.
So, reasoning as this man reasons,
drawing his conclusions from the year.
ly result upon his farm, we have long
been satisfied that farmers as a rule,
wait for rain in the fall while they
should be at work. Portions of many
fields upon our prairie land incline to
be too wet in almost any season, and
the fall rain, when it comes, happens
to be copious, all such land will be rem
dered too wet, and very likely only the
very highest places in the field will be
in just the right state for tillage. The
farmer we quote from has doubtless
carefully proven the truth of this posi-
ton, and has found, as all other farm
ers would no doubt find, that it is more
profitable to use three horses, when the
land is so dry as to require this, getting
the work along seasonably, when NO
other work is in the way, rather than to
delay unduly late, as many have done
the past season, hurrying over the
work without giving it due care and at
tention. Western Farm Journal.

Oorus,

CoRNs consist of layers of thickened
epidermis-th transparent coating that
protects the sensitive true skin beneath.
The epidermis is in constant process
of formation from the true skin, and is
as constantly being thrown off in minute
particles.
1t is as destitute of feeling as the
nails; indeed. the nails-as also the
scales on the legs of fowls and on the
bodies of fshes-are only modified
epidermis.
Corns are among the " excrescences"
of civilization. A higher civilization,
however, which shall conform the shoe
to the foot, instead of the foot to the
shoe, will know of them only as we
know of the crushed feet of Chinese
women.
A thickening of the epidermis having
been caused at the points of special
pressure, this infiames still further the
skin beneath, giving rise to successive
layers of thickened epidermis, which
cannot be thrown off like ordinary scarf
skin.
Between the vital force beneath, and
the pressure of the shoe above, the
central portion comes to have the hard
ness of nail. If splinter is left in the
finger, the flesh above and around it
will die, and new skin be formed be-
low, which will in time lift the splinter
out. But in the case of corns, nature
efforts are thwarted by the persistent
pressure from above, which constantly
enlarges the corn from below.
The first step toward relief is to
secure a shoe Gndtomicdlly correct in
construction. Meanwhile, remove the
pressure from the corn in whatever way
may be possible.
A pointed knife run down carefully
between the layers will easily take out
for the time-the central core. Some
times it can be picked out with the
nail, after soaking the feet three sue
cessive nights in warm water. The
soaking swells the core and, like posts
lifted by the frost, it seldom returns
fully to its place. But as the cores
always fill up again, the only perma-
nent remedy is the removal of the
cause,

Infectious Diseases Among Live Stock.

Arguing in favor of general legisla-
tion with regard to infectious diseases
among horses, cattle, sheep and swine,
MIR. LIE Fevre said in Congress recently:
We have to-day at least 100000, 900
head of the four principal classes of
farm stock named above. If we aver
age these at the low sum of $500 per
head we have q money value of $780,
100000. These animals are all subject
to deadly contagious and infectious
diseases, and unless some general pro-
tectiVe law can be passed the increase
of loss to the farming community must
increase at an alarming ratio with each
recurring year. An eminent veterina-
rian, in summing up the losses occa-
stoned by the ravages of pleuro-pneu-
monia among cattle in Europe, says
that England imported lung fever of
cattle in 1872, just one year before it
was brought to the United States,
where it has continued up to the pres
ent time. Up to 1869 it is estimated
that Great Britain had lost, almost ex-
clusively from this disease, 5,549, 780
head of cattle, worth E83, 3,616,854, or,
say, S400, 100000. For the succeeding
Hiho years. up w 1000 inc lOSS6s nave
been equally as heavy, making total
loss of perhaps $500, 900, 900 in deaths

expenses of deteriorated health, loss of
markets, progeny, crops, disinfection,
quarantine, etc. And yet England has

About twenty-five years ago disease
made its appearance among hogs in
some of the great hog-growing States
of the West. II attracted but little at
tention at first, but as II continued TO
spread from one State to another, and
seemed to become more fatal with every
recurring year, farmers and stock
growers, and occasionally physician
and surgeon, would devote a little at

the malady, but no definite results were
obtained until very recently-not until

licious addition to the dish.
"A writer in the Rural NetO Yorker
says that some years since his dwarf
pears were attacked by blight, the
young wood suddenly turning black.
He applied to the surface of the ground
under the trees q strong solution of
iron (copperas), repeated the applica-
ton several times until the soil was of
yellow color, and pruned, severely
the affected wood. He has Eever seen
any blight since and believes that the
cure was effected by the iron.
Farmers who are so fortunate as
to have an open fireplace should place,
as an Offset to the cost of the wood, the
value of the ashes produced. For
onions there is no fertilizer equal to
wood ashes, as they require a great
deal of potash. Market gardeners and
others who make a specially of grow
ing onions will understand that to sue
ceed with the crop they need larger
supplies of potash than they will ordi-
narily receive from barnyard manure.
Sweet Corn for Cows.-Dwight
Judd, of South Hadley, one of our
largest milk producing farmers, has
raised quite extensively sweet corn for
feeding purposes only the past two
years. When asked what he considered
the feeding value of sweet corn for
milch COWS he said: "It is invaluable.
Corn meal is not to be compared with
it as feed for milk producing" He
keeps herd of twenty as nice cows as
can be found in this vicinity, and says:
"When my COWS fail little in milk,
and want for my trade couple of
extra cans, l tell my man to cut an
extra row of corn, and in two or three
days have the amount of milk de-
sired" His method of planting is to
plant with corn planter rows three
and a half feet apart and hills twenty
two inches, dropping two or three ker-
nels in a hill. He commences feeding
when the corn is fit for table use.-M.

cation which should result in revealing
the true nature and cause of this dis
ease. The investigation has not yet
been completed, but the infectious and
contagious character OF swine plague
has been determined beyond question.
For several years past the losses from
this disease have been estimated at
from 500, ,00e, 900 to S25, 900, 900 per an
mum. The disease has prevailed in this
country for near quarter Of century,
and II we place the annual losses dur
ing the past decade at 10000, 900 per
annum, we have total loss, sustained
principally by the farmers of the ooun-
try, Of $3.50, 100000. For the other fif-
teen years of the comparative infancy
of the disease the losses no doubt
amounted to as much more, making
the total loss from this one disease of

Now Save the Rags.

The most noticeable, perhaps, of all
the advances during the late "boom"
has been in the price of rags, which
have more than doubled in value, and
are now worth three cents and a half
per pound. At this price, and even at
much less, it will pay to save them and
sell them. The same is true of old
paper of nearly every kind, as by clean
sing they are reconverted into white
paper by the manufacturers.
In consequence of the scarcity of rags
and old paper, the price of print" or
paper for news purposes, has gone up
from six and half to ten cents at
wholesale. If this price keeps up,
there will be general rise in the sub
scription price, as has indeed in many
instances already occurred.
Almost any family can make enough
in year by selling rags and old paper
to pay for all their reading matter.

THE flavor of food baked or broiled
in earthenware is said by those who
have made the experiment to be far
superior to that of vegetable or animal
food cooked in the same way in iron
vessels, for the reason that iron is a
conductor of heat, while earthenware is
a non-conduetor; consequently, food
cooked in the latter is rarely ever
burned, the degree of heat not varying
perceptibly during the process of cook
ing, thus preserving the flavor of what
is cooked, as we'll as uniformity through
out the substance of the meat, vegeta-
bles, or grains, until the process of
cooking is completed. The fire in stove
or range that parches and burns in iron
vessels, and either impairs or spoils the
food, is powerless TO injure the contents
of earthenware. DR.. Foote'S Health
