SANU,
ARITHMETIC IN FARMING.
A free use of the multiplication table would
enable farmers to act with more precision in
many operations now conducted by guess
work. We have frequent inquiries, for ex
ample, as to the proper amount of certain
special manners to be applied per acre tor
different crops; but the use being new, the
application is made without any guide as to
quantity, and too much is used in one cast
and too little in another. One man injures
his crops and wastes the material by over
dosing : another uses 100 little, and does not
witness any sensible effect. A iitile figuring
would obviate the difficulties, and enable the
farmer to calculate accurately beforchar/
iust how much to apply. Suppose for in
stance, that he proposes to use superphoa
phate at the rate of 500 pounds per acre in
his turnip bill. Instead of try ing at random,
and coming out wrong, as be will be sure to
do, let him bring his work down to figures, in
the following manner. liis drills, we will
euppose, arp twenty-eight inches apart,
amounting to 1120 rods in length on each
acre, or at the rate of about seven ounces per
rod. Or, to be more accurate, as well as to
take ft more convenient length, the fertilizer
should be strewed along the furrow at the
rate of one ounce to two feet and two inchetv
*io length. Weigh out a small quantity in
ounce portions, and practice a few minutes
by strewing it along a furrow so that each
ounce shall reach a measured length of two
feet and two inches. A little practice will
enable the operator to apply the fertilizer so
that he can distribute the required quantity
over the acre orfield, with much accuracy. If
he wishes to use only half this quantity, or
two hundred and fifty pounds per acre, strew
it 80 that an ounce shall extend four feet four
inches, and be wiil accomplish the desJrml
purpose.
If a fertilizer is to be applied in hills, as in
a corn-field, a similar mode of calculation
may be readily adopted. Hills three feel and
a half apart each way, will be at the rate of
about 3500 per acre, requiring about two
ounces per hill, if 500 ponnds of the fertilizer
are used, or one ounce for 250 pounds.
The same mode may be used to determine
the amount of grass seed for each handful ia
sowing broadcast. Each throw will cover, as
before, from five to ten feet, and whatever
quantity is U3ed for an acre should, therefore,
be divided into about a thousand parts. A
peck of clover seed, for exarable, weighs 15
pounds, and to cover an acre, each handful
should be a little less than the fourth of an
ounce. The previous use of a pair of scales
lor weighing off a few of these portions,
wouM enable- the operator to hit at once,
with considerable accuracy, the right quanti
ty, instead of being compelled to make ran
dom guesses for days, or even j ears, before
acquiring proper experience.
It is often regaided as an indication of
shrewd guessing when the farmer brings bis
domestic animals through the winter on .the
exact supply of fodder which he has Htfjred
away for that purpose. Sometimes he may
find towards spring, that be has many tons of
surplus, and perhaps, more frequently, that
he has to purchase a considerable amount,
in order to "piece out" the winter supply.
Measuring, . weighing and calculating, the
work of a few minutes, will obviate much of
this uncertainty. The farmer who frequently
weighs a load of hay, acquires sufficient ex
perience in estimating, to determine, very
nearly, from the record of the size and num
ber of the loads which he has on band for the
winter. If he has neglected to do this, he
may hit the amount nearly as well by meas
uring his hay, and allowing an fverage of
500 cubic feet per ton of timothy, 600 feet if
part clover, or 700 feel if all clover. He
will thus be able to learn, very nearly, how
much hay he has on hand. The next ques
tion is to know how much his animals will
eat. If he has provided good racks, to pre
vent them treading hay under foot, and has
givei. them fair shelter, he may adopt thefol
lowing rule with a good deal ol certainty :
Determine the weight of his animals, and al
low three per cent, of the w. igbt of his horses
for their daily food in hay, aud two and a
half per cent, for cattle. Multiply this daily
allowance 1 y the whole number of animals,
and again by the number of days which he
expects to give them dry food, aud then to
compare it w.th the quantity on band, and he
may strike the balance, one way or the other,
with considerable cei ainty.
Every farmer should haave a tape line or
other means fir measuring his fields. If he
has much experience in pacing, he may in
deed make temporary accuracy, but he should
frequently correct such rough work with the
tape line. Every fie.ld should be measured,
so that the owner may know the number of
acres, and a record should also be made ot its
length and breadth, that the amount of laud
plowed in a day may be readily reckoned,
and the contents of each "land" definitely
known. Among Other advantages, this ac
curacy will enable the owner to determine
easily ncreable products under different modes
of management, and to require a great deal of
valuable information in a few years as to the
most profitable way of raising heavy crops
There are many other modes, which will
suggest themselves to the intelligent farmer,
for adopting the weighing and measuring
system, and submitting his work to accurate
figures, instead of to loose and random
guessing. Every gr-xnary should have a
graduated scale inside, to show at a glance
the number of bushels at any height. A
similar measurement and record should be
made of his wagon boxes. These be may do
by measuring the length, depth and breadth
for the cubic feet. 1 hen divide the number
of cubic feet by 50, and multiply by 45, and
the result will be struck measure. Or, lie
may allow 2,150 cubic inches for each bushel,
or add one-fourth for heaped mea-ure, as for
pota'ocs, corn in the tar, Ac.— Country
Gentleman.
FALL PLANTING OF TREES.
The Germantown Telegraph says: A cor
respondent asks ns at what time in the fall he
sbouid transplant trees. We answer, any
time after the tree is done growing for the
season but the sooner the better. The mo
ment it can be seen from the leaves that the
season s growth is over, the transplantation
of trees should be attended to. By so doing
the roots wiil have time to become establish
ed befcre severe weather sets in, and be rea
dy to make an early healthy start when spring
opens. Some of our leading horticulturists
assert that the roots of trees grow all winter,
except when the ground becomes deeply fro
zen: but whether this be so or not, trans
planting as early in the autumn as circum
stances will admit of, doubtless has its advan
tages.
TESTING VARIETIES or WHEAT.—A corres
pondent of tiie Canada Farmer, who byway
of experiment, sowed the past season the
5\ bite China. Soules, Treadwell, Kentucky,
M iiite Midge-proof, Mediterranean Midge
proof, club shaped car (name unknown,) and
common Red Midge-proof, makes the follow
ing report:—"The Treadwell does not teem
any earlier than either the sVhite China or
Sonie* ; the Kentucky White was almost all
winter-killed ; having sown it now three years
I would not advise any one to do so hereafter.
The Soules, of course, is as usual excellent;
the club shaped ear is also good: the White
China also; hut the treadwell is best of all.
The other sorts, although very rank and tall,
have badly-filled heads. No midge has made
any perceptible inroads on any of the seven
varieties."
WASH AND ASHES FOR FRUIT-TREES.
A correspondent of the Germantown Tele
graph says: I have observed in some of the
agricultural books quotations from your jour
nal about "Best Wash for Trees," and know
what you say to be to the point.
I would adrise as an applicant around the
roots of the apple, pear, peach, quince and
damson- tree, (after washing as advised by
you.) sifted coal ashes, by clearing away the
soil to the depth of three to five inches and
inserting in its stead the sieved coal ashes.
These ashes seem to have a very damaging
effect upon all kinds of worms that infest the
roots of the above trees, and at the same
time the effect of rejuvenating the trees. I
knew them once to reproduce the bearing
qualities of old quince trees that were abont
being cut down and rgnbbed up. The prop
er time to apply the ashes is in the latter part
of October, and let it remain until the nest
October and then replace the same by fresh
ashes. It will be demonstrated in a single
bearing season as a rejuvenator. As it is a
cheap article to try, you should urge your
farmer* to test it.
THE PEACH TREE is a rapid grower, and if
left to its own natural inclinations is apt to
become unsightly in shape. To prevent this,
it should be beaded in. There are those who
contend that by this method the life of the
tree will be prolonged. One thing is certain,
,hat by judicious pruning or heading in, the
gathering of the fruit is more readily accom
plished.
A horticultural wag says that the language
of Mowers is uttered by to-lips.
A RECENT invention that has been patent
ed is a head rest, "-rtttfehablo to pew- and
the snorer's companion.
"A Htf'OENT man," says a witty French
man, "is like a pin. His bead prevents him
from going too far."
Do you call this a trunk ?" growled a de
jected porter. "It only needs a lightning-rod
to be mistaken for a boarding house."
LADY: Can you wash and iron? DOMESTIC:
Oh ye 3, 'm; but your place wouldn't suit me
unless you "knock off" wearing them long
Holland dresses of a morning.
A SHREWD, but uuenlightened school in
spector away out West, used to say, on ex
amining a candidate for the post of a teacher,
"We all know that a, b, c is vowels, but we
want to know why they is vowels."
JOHNS R is just beginning to learn geogra
phy. He says that the Poles live partly at

Uros the reading of the Declaration of In
de;>endence at Ypsilanti, Michigan, by a citi
zen of that place, a gentleman from the rural
districts made this comment: "Oh, he read
it well enough, but I don't believe he wrote
it."
Said a hypochondriacal patient,
while describing his symptoms to Abernethy,
"I feel n terrible pain in my side when I put
my hand up to my head." "Then sir," ex
claimed the mild physician, "why do you put
your hand 'toyour head ?"
A TOCNG lady writing from Long Branch
says : "In the morning, my dear, we have a
delivery of letters by (he post. In the after
noon we have another delivery— the delivery
of husbands, brothers, cousins, or beloved
acquainteuances, as the case may be, by the
railroad. In this manner darling, we have a
mm! delivery twice a day. It would ill be
come me to say which one I like best."
A PARIS paper gives a conversation be
tween a father and his little daughter. "What
have you done with your doll?"
"I have put it away to keep for my chil
dren, when I grow up."
"But if you shouldn't have any?"
"All, well! then it will do for my grand
children."
As old Scotchman of Boston used to say:
"I'm open to conviction; but I'd like to see
the man that can convince me." Old Minis
ter Wells, the predecessor of the Itev. Dr.
Storrs, of Braintree. Mass., himself a Scotch
man, used to say: "It behooveth a Scotch
man to be light; for if he be wrong, be wily
be forever and eternally wrong."
Ix 1833 M. Thiers made a ten day's journey
in England, and pledged himself to Louis
Phillipe to learn in that time all that was
worth knowing of the politics, commerce,
revenues, religion, arts, seiances, and social
economy of this nation. While here he wrote
to a gentleman connected with the Treasury
the following note: "My dear sir, would you
give nie a short quarter of on hour, to ex
plain to me the financial system of your coun
try? Always yours T."
A CLERGYMAN, in the county of Eurham,
had taught an old man in hG parish to read,
and had f.iund him an apt pupil. After the
lessons were over, he had not. been able to
cail at the cottage for some time, and when
lie did, he found only the wife at home.
"How's John?" He's canny, sir," said the
wife. "How does he get on with his read
ing? "Nicely, sir." "Ah! I suppose he'll
read his Bible very comfortable, now." "Bi
ble, sir ! Wes.s yon, be was out of the Bible
and into the newspaper long ago."
Cow BE related an anecdote of Sergeant Davy.
The Sergeant was no lawyer, but an excel
lent it itti prius advocate, having great shrewd
ness and promptitude. On one occasion
Lord Mansfield said he should sit on Good
Friday, there being a great press of business.
It was said no barrister would attend, and in
fact no one did; the Chief Justice tried the
causes with the attorneys alone. When the
proposal w made to the bar, Sergeant Davy
said to Lord Mansfield, "There has been no
precedent since the time of Pontius Pilate.—
Crahb Robinson.
SAVED ms WHIPPING.—A little nrchin sev
en or eight years old, in a school where a
Miss Blodgett was teaclic-r, composed the fol
lowing. and wrote it on his slate at prayer
time, to the great amusement of ;ne boys:—
"A little mouse ran up the stairs,
To hear Miss Blodgett say her prayers."
1 he leather discovered the rhyme, and called
out the culprit. For a punishment she cave
him his choice, to make another rhyme in
five minutes, or be caned. So after thinking
and blinking, and scratching his head till his
time was nearly out, and the teacher was lift
ing the cane in a threatening manner, at the
last moment be exclaimed:
"Here I stand before Miss Blodgett;
She's going to strike, and I'm going to
dodge it."
TIIE I.aconia, N. IT., Democrat says there
isa calf in Gilmantown, otherwise all right
that has not the Sign of a tail. While a group
of persons were looking at the calf, the other
day. and wondering how he would manage
in fly time, they were joined by a city bred
individual, a graduate of Darmouth College.
The learned gri.du&te. after listening to the
comments, inquired how old the calf was.
and on being informed, innocently asked.
"I) calves of that age usually have tails?"
