SwAMp-MucK-1Ts VALUE ON THE Farm

SwAMP-MUCK-ITs VALUE ON THE FARM.
Much has been written, both for and
against the value of swamp muck as a fer
tilizer. But in spite of all objections to it,
the fact remains, that swamp-muck, of an
average good quality, consisting mainly of
decayed vegetable matter, contains one and
a-balf per cent of nitrogen. 1t is true,
that this nitrogen is inert, and it is neces-
sary to take action to make it available
To do this, is the business of the farmer,
who rarely finds the materials with which
he works already prepared at his hand.
One and a-half per cent. is equal to thirty
pounds of the cheapest nitrogen the farmer
can procure, is worth three dollars. If
swamp muck, by the expenditure of little
labor at this season, can be made worth
three dollars ton, or one cubic yard, what
is it worth per acre # three feet deep? We
ftrbear to say any more than this, lest our
readers might think US extravagant. We
would impress upon the minds of farmers
who own swamps, which are left to remain
unsightly and unhealthful eye-sores upon
their farms, the hard fact, that they are not
only wasting valuable opportunity of i'm
proving their lands, by neglecting to drain
these marshy places, but are leaving unused
the valuable material, which might fertilize
the upland, to make it doubly productive.
The writer speaks from his own knowledge
and experience in this respect, having for
some years dug and used, annually, several
hundred tons of swamp-muct, in the form
of compost with lime and barn-yard man.
ure. He has used 1t, when dry, as litter,

SHOULD ORCHARDS BE CULTIVATED p
This is evidently one of those questions
that admit of variable answer. In other
words, practice which may be best for one
orchard, may not be 80 for another, because
the conditions are far from being uniform.
To keep the ground in an orchard constant
ly under cultivation, and producing crops
which are removed annually, will soon ex
haust the fertility of the richest soil, unless
some kind Of fertilizer is returned to make
good the amount taken away. The fire.
quent stirring of tho soil, breaking up, dis
integrating and pulverizinQ, are beneficial
operations, for, by keeping the surface open
and loose, we aid the admission of air and
moisture, both of which contain certain ell
ements which are absorbed by the roots and
60 far towards making up the bulk of all
cultivated plants. But as rule, orchard
lists do not think that they can afford to
pillow, harrow, and keep down noxious
weeds in the orchard for no other purpose
than to benefit the trees and improve the
quantity and quality of the fruit conse-
quently, when they plow, it must be for the
purpose of sowing or planting, and the Or
chard is kept constantly occupied with
some annual farm crop, or seeded down to
clover or grass. To SOW grain of any kind
in an orc aid, except on very moist soils, or
in humid climate, seldom fails to check
the growth-of the trees, because the grow
ing grain will take the moisture from the
soil at the very time the trees need it most.

BEST MODE OF STORING IcR.-If one will
need ice next summer, be must prepare for
il now. The first thing to be done II to
gather few wagon loads of sawdust--about
seven hundred bushels will be required for
a house twelve feet square, and ten feet
high, to give an ample supply If sawdust
can not be procured, dry waste tan bark is
equally good; dry swamp muck, forest
lesves, cut straw chat, or chaff from the
thraehing machine, are all very good sub
stitutes; but On open air space is only about
forty per cent as effective as any one Of
these substances. A house twelve feet
square Will hold a mass of ice ten feet
square. which will give about five thousand
pounds for each foot in hight, yielding
supply OF one hundred younds daily, for
about two months. One hundred pounds
of ice will cool one hundred pounds of water
from one hundred and seventy four degrees,
dewn to thirty-two degrees, absorbing one
hundred and forty-two degrees of heat from
the water, in the slow process of liquefac-
ton alone. These figures will enable any
person to calculate how much ice may be
required for any specified effect. Thus as
one hundred pounds Of ice, absorbs fourteen
thousand and two hundred units of heat,
asd we weaNEo cooi seven hundred and ten
pounds of milk from sixty five to forty five
degrees, we shall find that the ice will just
dolt, because seven hundred and ten pounds
cooled twenty degrees, equals fourteen thou
sand and two hundred units. In the use
of ice, it is therefore seen to be great econ
omy, to cool the milk down to just as low a
point as possible, by means of cold well or
spring water, before it is set in the ice wa
ter pool. For three hundred quart dairy,
or for twenty-five cows, then, one hundred
pounds of ice will be required daily, and
for The season of eight months, when ice
may be necessary, the ten feet square of ice
should be raised eight feet, which will al
low for vast, which is usually about forty
or fifty per cent on the average.-Anaerican
