farmer's Department. (For the Kcportr.) Plowing for Wheat. Mr. Ei-itor : —lt may l>e difficult in thc.-e times, when one-lialf the people are either preachers or lawyers and the other half poli tician*, to call the attention of any considera ble number of them to a subject which bears directly upon their business ami interests.— Yet I will venture the experiment. In preparing ground for wheat, it lias for- j inerly been the practice to " summer fallow It—that is, break it up in June—turning un der a fair crop of grass or clover for decompo ■ition ; then, immediately before sowing to turn it all up again to the action of the sun and air—thus exposing to waste, by evapora tion and otherwise, much of the sustenance de signed for the plant. And some farmers, a though fearing the work of improvement had not been fully accomplished, stir up the soil a third time before seeding. The consequence of such superabundant and wasteful labor was, that nearly all the vegetable matter put be neath the surface at the first plowing and de-1 signed as food for the plant, made its escape from the soil in the form of gases. True, the : warmth of the soil consequent upon frequent stirring, and the presence of extremely volatile food stimulated a fair growth in the fall, but when the time came for making the kernel, ! which is the great desideratum in wheat grow-! ing, the plant was found enfeebled for the ; want of the nutriment, which, the fall pre- ) vious had been " wasted on the desert air.'' j An imperfect and light berrv was usually o'- , tained. Much of the failure in wheat grow ing may be truced to this system of " summer i fallowing." When farmers will learn that their plants j have not teeth wherewith to masticate their food, and that therefore, before they can ab , sorb it and appropriate it to their growth and development, it must undergo decomposition ; and assume that gaseous form in which it can easily escape bevond their reach, then will i they take steps to retain that food within the ! sphere and reach of their growing crops. A good war to secure that very desirable result is to plow the ground but over and tcrll. and that too about two weeks before sowing i Plowing ground well is a thing not well under i stood by many farmers. 13ut I will not o(T r a dissertation oil that subject now. Very : rough ground, of course, should be plowed twice until it is made smooth, —afterwards but once. Immediately before sowing it should j be harrowed thoroughly that the surface may be mellowed and pulverized. Put the wheat in with a two horse cultivator if to be had, if i not then drag it well, as the fuil growth of, the crop depends much 011 having the ground j well pulverized with the harrow. The advantages of this practice are simply these : The manures turned under will not de- 1 compose and pass out of the soil in the fall, as it so generally does by the former pnieiici ; and consequently they are on hand the follow ing season when their presence is so essential to the growth and perfection of the berry. A few well tried experiments will establish the above facts, and give a decided preference to the latter system of wheat growing. Yours. K. Wr A vivo CALVES. —This, ami the next 1 month are the usnal seasons for weaning calves from their dams when they have been so far reared at the teat, or for cutting them alto gether off from their milk diet—say at the age of four months. We presume they have had plenty of grass and water meantime, both of which they partake freely, llut they sadly miss their accustomed milk diet when deprived of it, and to insure their continued growth, a substitute must be given in the shape of corn, oat, or oil meal. The three mixed in about equal quantities are best given at the rate of; a pint of the mixture each morning and even ing—a quart a day. It may be laid dry, in a capacious tr< ugh, and with a slight sprinkling of salt on it, they will soon eat and love it The pasture should still be fresh and sweet, j and after a month of the meal diet it may be ; gradually discontinued. Calves, about weaning time, are apt to get lousy, if not in high condition Look to this, i and if any be found, apply the remedies we published page 270 of last volume, which will ; prove effectual. That is ; rub on the lousy places, a little soft grease mixed with 11 sprmk- ; ling of common Scotch snuff, which will cause j the lice to leave at once. If you haw not the ' snuff, the grease alone will do. The lice take j up their abode on poor animals where there is 1 not an abundance of natural oil exuded. As the season progresses, feed them green corn-stalks, finely cut up if necessary, rump kins. when ripe, are capital food for calves ; green turnips, beet, and cairot tops, or any other green food they will eat. And so they should progress till ready to go into Winter quarters. A good three-year old calf which has grown right along from the time of its : birth without check or hindrance, will be worth two poor, stunted thing®. One comes ont a fine cow, bull or bullock, while the others arc pinched, deformed by poverty, and unsatisfactory altoget her. We have raised hundreds of calves, and in all sorts of ways. A third less pure mill: drawn from the teat by the calf, is quite ns good as the full quantity milked by hand, and then fed the calf. We know this by trial Sucking is the natural way—feeding is not. But in feeding, skimmed milk and other lood may be added, answering good purposes, and rearing the calf at jess expense.— American Agriculturist. RATS —Agricultural writers estimate that •Tory rat eats and destroys on an average, one pint of grain, or its equivalent in other food, per week. A farmer who has been troubled with this species of vermin, calculates that, on an aver age every farmer in the State of Pennsylvania (taking that Slate as a sample) supports ten rats on his premises. Ten rats, at a pint each per week would consume eight bushels of grain per yi-ar ; or, take 160,000 us the number of farmers in the State, one million two hundred thousand bushels annually to support the rats of Pennsylvania ; a very considerable contri bution towards the maintenance of a nuisance. A tnbful of soapsuds, farmers should remember, is worth as much as a wheelbarrow of good manure. Every backet of soapsuds should not be lost. The garden is a conven ient place in which todis|K>seof it ; but around the roots of grape-vines, young trees, or any thing of the sort, will do as well. tntf- A fine coat may cover a fool, but nev er ••oiicaL •<!!•• itliau.ancous TOWANDA HARDWARE CUTLERY lliOX AND STOVE STOLE. m r>. c.
