The Practictl Farmer says: "A
single loose stone. which might be
thrown out in two seconds, is some
time s,ruck by wagon wheels fifty times
dav, or more than 1000 times year.
Ten thousand blows of a sledge-hammer
as hard on one wagon would probably
demolish it entirely. and the stone does
no less harm because it divides lis blows
among hundred vehic'es There is.
therefore, probably no investment that
would pay a higher rate OF profit than
a few dollars worth of work in clearing
public highways OF loose and fixed
stones"
There is no book devoted to the
preparation OF swamp muck for manur-
ial purposes. The whole business is
SO simple that it can be easily ex-
planned. The muck should be dug.
thrown into heaps, drained and then
used in the stables, pens and yards as
an absorbent, or composted with ma
nure. or with lime and wood ashes.
Whatever means can be used to decom-
pose it will serve to make it available,
but its best use is as an absorbent for
the liquids which usually 20 20 waste

"A very durable whitewash is made
as follows: Take one-half bushel of
good unslacked lime, slack it with boil
ing water, (cover it during the process
to keep in the steam) strain the liquid
through sieve. and add one peck of
salt, dissolved in warm water, three
pounds of ground rice boiled to thin
paste; stir in boiling hot one-half pound
of powdered Spanish whiting. one
pound of white glue: add five gallons
of hot water; let the mixture stand a
few days covered from the dirt, and
apply with brush. To give it a/slight
yellOwish tinge add yellow and brown
Ocher in equal parts. or in such proper
tons as will make the desired shade.
1t is very satisfactorily shown that
a crop of corn is easier on the soil than
a crop of oats. 1t is far easier to pro-
ducc sixty or seventy bushels of corn,
weighing $500 to 1900 pounds. to the
acre. with three or four tons of dry
fodder, than fifty bushels of oats.
weighing LOGO pounds, and ton of
straw. This is accounted for BY the
fact that corn is able to procure large
quantity of its nitrogen from the soil
where oats cannot. and that good
crop of corn can be grown with the
help Of potash and phosphoric acid
alone, and yet show in the crop large
quantity of nitrogen. while oats cannot
be grown without the nitrogen added to
the other manures. Agreat manv expert /
ments have been made in this direction
with this effect. Now, as nitrogen is
the most costly ingredient OF both fer
tilizers and of feeding stuffs (of which
manure is made), it is considered that !
the crops which need the most of this I
element to be supplied for their growth
are really the most exhausting crops. |
