The practice Of winter fattening steors is
pursued less than formerly in New Hampshire,
and rightly, believe. will give from the
farm books a few broad statements, without
going into details. The farm hires its steers
aud young animals pastured in a neighbor's
pasture, with other stock. They are weighed
before going into the pasture and weighed
after return. The cost of pound of growth
with the calves is not quite one cent pound ;
with yoar.olds, in round numbers, one cent a
pound in two year-olds, from one one fourth
to one one-half cents pound with three
year -ods, one oue.half to one three-fourths
cents a pound Tho growth for the entire
season, from May to November /, varies
from 200 to 300 pounds, and does not vary
very largely with the collcgo-farm stock IN
the different ages named. What / desire to
call attention to is the fac; that for soyera!
years | have been able to sell nice steers as
high per pound in August as | could have sold
the same steers fattened in April. Thus this
pasturcd beef is obtained at profit for the
growth made, and the extra cost per pound Of
winter fattening avoided. With the poorer
grade Of stock unfit for the best markets thi,
favorable comparative price Of August does
not hold so fully. For this purpose good pas
lures are needed and sadly wanting. Pref

The Science OF MuIchIng.

Mr.. w. w. Newman, in II paper recently
read before the Onoudaga n. Y. J farmers club
grants that there is some foundation for the
common belief that soil covered by boards
stones, or mulch of any kind, is mellowed
and fortified, even though nothing can be
derived, except in the last case, from the COW
ering material. The explanation of the effect
produced he finds first, in the fact that the
ground is kept moist and porous, no hard
crust being formed on the surface by the sun
and beating rains and, secondly, that ants
worms and smaller animals live and burrow
and die under such a covering, pulveriZing
the soil and fertilizing it with their excrements
and their bodies Mr.. Newman supposes also
that the difference in temperature caused by
the mulch may have something TO do with the
enriching changes that go on beneath it but
for this supposition We find no foundation.
Indeed, we may almost be satisfied with the
first reason. Every arabic soil contains an
immense quantity of plant food that is not in
fit condition for the use of vegetation, but
must first suffer certain chemical changes by
which it is converted from insoluble to soluble
forms, or from compounds that are less ac-
ceptable to those which are more acceptable
to the plant. Such changes cannot go on at
all in very dry soil, and they will go on most
rapidly in moist rather than a net soil.
One of the most important of these unavail-
aDle constituents OF plant 1000 Is the nitrogen
of vegetable and animal residues. BY oxida-
ton in a damp soil, with free access of air
through its porous surface, this nitrogen pass
es, to a greater or less extent into the form
of nitrates, specially valuable for plant food.
1t has been recently shown that this nitrifca
ton, rs it is called is brought about by the
agency of minute living organisms, and that
they work better in the dark than in the light :;
hence in soil under a covering of any kind
that excludes light and prevents evaporation,
but does not exclude the air, the conditions are
most favorable for this exceedingly important
chemical change. Nitrates are easily leached
out of soil by percolating water; under a
stone or a board this teaching will not take
place as readily as in an uncovered soil ;
therefore We are inclined TO believe that a soil
which has been thus protected during several
weeks of warm weather will be found to be
richer in nitrates than soil close by il but
unprotected and that herein lies the chief
reason of the enriohing of the soil under such
circumstances.

ScaIDby Potatoes.

Seab on potatoes is produced by minute an
imals which have not yet been thoroughly
studied. The scab shows itself first ON the
surface of the potato, in rough spots, which
afterward become raised like blsters These
collapse subsequently, and leave irregular
holes or pits of various sizes in the substance
of the tuber. They do not seem 10 be con
fined to any particular age of the plant, as
they make their appearance on very young
tubers, and IN other cases not before their
full development About the prodisposing
conditions and prevention of these parasites
little is known. Ashes and lime do not pre-
vent or destroy them. l have found them
plentiful in fields where ashes had never been
applied, and also with and without swine,
horse or COW manure, where potatoes had not
been planted for several years. In this case
like does not produce like, for 1 have seen
scabby potatoes produce splendid scab-free

potatoes; on the other hand, some soils,
which seem to be saturated with scab, will
produce scabby potatoes, no matter what seed
Is used. Some varieties are more liable to
scab than others row Of Buckeyes were
almost eaten up by scab, while other varieties
close by were free from it. Little as is known
Of the nature of tho scab, | think I have
