CARE ARB A'fTMTIO*. la many operations of the farm it is the caro given, the watchful attention bestowed that warrants success —the particular time at which a job is done —if so be it is done well and receives alter attention —is certainly a secondary matter. True, there may be a pe riod when certain operations will be much surer to succeed than if performed at another time—and the more favorable conditions the farmer can take advantage of the better, but ia no case is the care to which we have allu ded to be set aside and regarded as of no ac count simply because the operation was, ac cording to the books, performed at the right season of the year. "Whateveris worth do ing at allis worth doing well.", and most farm work well done, and well taken care of will generally succeed if performed at almost any season of the year. In no business with which wc are acquain ted, will attention to details pay a better re turn, and in none is it more neglected than upon the farm . What merchant, manufac turer, or mechanic, having capital invested in his business; and desiring to make it pay the best return, would not be deemed grossly im provident if he paid no more attention to the minute matters of his business than the great majority of farmers do, and would it not be expected he would fail? Farmers plant seeds and trees, care for them but imperfectly, and are disappointed if they do not have a large crop. Would the merchant or manufacturer expect to make money if he purchased arti cles, and through his own negligence allowed them to waste and become valueless upon his hands ? But for the kindliness and forbear ance of our'mother earth,'the crops consign ed to her, would, with the ill care so often bestowed, return again to the farmer but the seed sown, which in many instances is as much as he deserves. When will the lesson be learned aud prac tised by all who call themselves farmers? that good care and attention bestowed alike to soil, animals and crops, is sure to bring a more than tenfold reward, and go far towards making np the deficiencies of an unfavorable season, and perhaps the effects of the wrong time of performing the operation. Without this care, do tlio work whenever the best time occurs, success will be impossible.— Maine Farmer. POCI.TBY MANURE—HOW TO SAVE AND USE IT. —Poultry manure, one of the most valua ble fertilizers made upon the farm, is too of ten allowed to go to waste. The hens and turkeys roost upon trees, under the shed, in the wagon-house, or wherever it happens. To save the manure, these birds most be taught to roost in one place. Turkeys readily take to elevated poles near the house or barn, and these should always be provided for them. Sweep np their droppings every few days, and pot in a box or barrel, and keep dry. Hens will roost under cover, and % hen-house should always be one of the farm bnildings. The floor, if not of boards in a loft, should be such that it can be cleaned easily and fre quently. It is well to keep plaster or dried peat under the fowls. Put the sweepings in old barrels as fast as they accumulate. In a dry state they will keep a long time without much loss. It is customary to mix these droppings with wood ashes, without much attention to definite proportions, at the time sf*plantmg, and drop them in the hill for corn and potatoes. If care is taken to keep the seed from contract with the manure, they produce very satisfactory results. But this is not the best way of using it. Two or three weeks before planting mix the contents of the barrels with about three times their bulk of moist loam or peat under cover. When the mass is well heated, shovel it over, and mix with it as much more loam or peat, and let it lie nntii wanted. This may be worked into beds prepared for garden seeds, or drop ped, a handful to the hill, for field crops, and it will always tell a good story at harvest time. LJME ABOUND APE-IAE TBEE3. —The Cincin nati Inquirer says: "We have known some farmers make it a regular practice for a suc cession of years to throw caustic lime around their apple trees in the | ring and summer. We once noticed that a tree standing in the immediate vicinity of our dwelling had all at once put forth with renewed energy, and we were at loss for some time to define the cause. On examination we found that a quantity of lime, which had accidently been spilled, and rendered worthless by becoming mixed with the refuse on the stable floor, had been thrown at the foot and aroncd the tree, and to this, as the principal cause, we im mediately accredited the revivescence and re newed fructification of the tree. Taking the hint from the incident, we pur chased twelve casks of lime, and applied half a bushel to each of the trees in our orchard, and found that it produced immediate bene ficial effects. Not the health of the tree only, but the quality of the fruit also was greatly improved. This application will be especial ly beneficial in soils where there is a redun dancy of vegetable matter. We would advise our farmers in some places, especially in new forest lands recently cleared, and on low lands, to make trial of this experiment and •W cr rvf fVo v, ' ok recommendation it secures." HULIJED COBS. —The old-fashioned hulled com is prepared as follows : 'l'o make lye enough for three quarts of corn, take about * quarts of ashes and boil them an hour in about 8 quarts of water. Hard wood ashes are best. After the ashes have settled, turn off the lye, which will be about six quarts. Put the corn into the lye and boil three hoars, or until the hulls begin to come off freely. Then take out the corn, put it into cold water and boil again. Keep boiling and changing the water nntilitis perfectly clear, rubbing the corn with the hands as the water is poured off, to clean oil' the hulls. The water will need to be changed a half dozen times or more. This will remove all the lye and make the corn white and soft. It is now ready for use and will keep in cold weather several weeks. It is fried with salt pork gravy and makes a nice dish. It is also warmed up and eaten with inilk, or like hominy, with syrup. The white dent corn of the South is the best for this purpose. Potash lye is sometimes used, but does not leave the corn so white. O 1 c ~ IT IS THE BEST CHANCE ever offered agentj!
