Epizootic. A mild for in of the troublesome horse disease commonly known as the "epizootic," and which some years ago almost brought business to a standstill in most of our large cities, is now prevailing in many places throughout the country. We have not, as yet, heard of it in our county, but judging the future from the past, we shall not long escape. Dr. Creesy, a veterinary surgeon of much ability and great experience, says the disease is atmospheric, and not contagious. He advises that "any animal showing symptoms of it, such as coughing, a slight discharge from the nose, etc., should be work ed only moderately, protected with a woolen blanket when standing and given warm bran mash rather than meal. Very cold water should not be allowed." How to Qrow Soiling Crops. F. S. Peer, of New York, soils his cattle all the year around. He has lately filled an old stone carriage house with one hundred and fifty tons of ensilaged corn fodder, which be estimate* has cost him but fifty-four cents |er ton. This may do for an "estimate," but wc must doubt its accuracy. Of Mr. Peer's soiling pructicc the liural Home says : For soiling cows and horses he makes two sowings of rye in the fall, two or three weeks apart, for first feeding in spring. As early as pos sible in spring, sows barley, because it will germinate and grow earlier than oats and endure more frost, and continues to sow every week until the rye isready to cut. M akes two cuttings of rye and then ploughs and sows to corn. Makes one cutting of barley and lollows with a mixture of oats ami |>eas, which he esteems highly for soiling. Through the months of June and July he soiled ten head of cattle and three horses on three arces of land. Cuts his fishier with reaper, and one man does the milking, soiling and all the other chores, and gets six hours a tiny for field lnbor. He stables cattle in basements of barns, bed* with shav ings so as to have straw to feed, and has everything convenient. Water flows from a spring into the barnyard and into a trough under the shed, where a float regulates the faucet, stopping the flow when the trough in full ami starting it again as it low er*. He Was Not & Farmer, sod We Will Not Own Him. A* to "two jofikfyt," ihe unsophisticat ed would be urj rised to know how many highly - considered, reputable fsrnier* nr* engaged in thst sort of thing. A wealthy citizen of New York once attempted to impose upon me lhu, with • cow recommended by him lis A great milker. I bought of him for • friend. The cow when sent me, I Ascertained Afterward, had not been milked for forty-eight hours. I wax a little too sharp for him, ond did not hesitate to tell him of the trick and make him take the cow hack. He turned red and stammered when I told him, and laid all the blame to the *u|>erir.tendent of his beautiful country seat; but one of the laborers afterward told me the cow was thus sent to me at the city hy the owner's express order. How shameful for a rich, or indeed any man, to make the poor beaat suffer thus, and endeavor to cheat a customer in such a small, mean way. Rut this is human nature—too often lam sorry to say.—HANDILA, ia the Tribune. Hold on, Mr. "Sandils." This wont do. If the facts are as you represent them, you have undoubted ly been badly swindled in your pur chase of a cow, and are justified in being as mad about it as you please ; but you arc not thereby warranted in railing at farmers as a class, nor in calling them hard names. Your "wealthy citizen of New York" who gave an "express order" to the "superintendent of his beautiful country seat," certainly did " en deavor to cheat you in a small, mean way," but then he was not "a highly considered, reputable farmer." By your own showing, he was not a farmer at all. Farmers are not "wealthy citizens of New York;" nor do they keep "beautiful country scats," under tho care of "superin tendents." The probabilities are that he was some "honest merchant" of New York, who had grown rich by just such tricks as thin in hisnicrcan tile busincKH, and that his only claim to be called :i farmer confuted in the fact that he wan ajtending some of liis surplus eaah in providing for Ida selfish comfort a "beautiful country aeat." W; " highly-considered, rcj>- i utable farmers" have enough to ac count for, and decline to IK; Tespons ible for the dirty tricks of your New- York sharpers. The USC-B and Benefits of Fall Plowing. In no way is the progress of mod ern agriculture more clearly shown than in the general adoption of fall ploughing of land for next year's crops. It used to be thought, taught and practiced that all, or nearly all, crops did better if the land was not disturbed until a few days, or a few hours, bclore seeding—great bene fits being claimed in having a fresh, moist bed to confide the seed to. If all lands were new, and if fall plow ing deep did not contemplate spring plowing nhaUoWy doubtless the old fashion were the better one. But since the farmer who adopts the plan of fall plowing iB pretty sure not to neglect the essentials of preparing a proper seed bed when the time comes for seeding ; and since modern ex perience has taught that all or nearly all soils produce better crops if the land is suffered >o lay for months after plowing, these are suflicicnt reasons for the general following of the practice when once introduced. But it is not, perhaps,enough to sim ply say the thing is so and then leave it, therefore we proceed to give some of the many reasons which have led to the adoption of this system of agriculture. On the ground of a wise economy and the husbanding of one's resources, it were certainly better to make all possible preparations for, and do all that could be done of spring work in the autumn months, because there is more leisure, the teams are stronger, the tcinjiernturc is letter suited to the work and a portion of the pres sure is taken off the most stirring and active time of the year, when the main work in the preparation of the crop land is done in the fall. Under the olil regime, before the war, fall and winter plowing was generally practiced on the cotton plantations of the South, and the results were such that the product |H-r acre was a good ileal above the average of the present time. The custom on the l>ost plantations w as. after the greater portion of the cotton crop had been gathered, to Lake the beat hands out of the cotton fields, leaving the wo men and children to finish up the job of picking, and put the men and teams to making and repairing fences and plowing the land lor the next year's corn ami cotton crop. By Christmas, most of the work was finished and after a month's holiday tlic business of the new year was re sumed. I hiring the war this custom fell into disuse—the freedmen would not renew it, the preparation for the crops fell three months behind, and the result as we have seen iL While it is no doubt true, that lands lying in latitudes subject to deep freezing, profit more by fall plowing than lands liable to no frost, or very little, it is nevertheless true, that on account of the character of the season, and the crops, the farmers of mild latitudes arc quite as much liencfited by it as those of colder ones —though not in the same way. But the fertilizing and enriching effects of fall plowing have yet to lie stater! in part—we say in part, be cause if we went over the whole ground, several columns would lie required. Before the surface accumulation of vegetable matter on lands intended to be cropped can be made to benefit that crop, they must first become wholly or partially decayed, or de composed. And in order to bring about that condition, they must lie covered under, by the plow, a auffl cient length of time to have the pro cess of decay do its work. When plowing is done in the fall or winter months these processes go on for weeks, even in times of hard frost, and when seed time comes the food is ready for the young plant, and it gets a good send off from the start. If plowing is delayed until spring these processes, if they go on at all, do so at the ex|iensc of the moisture in the soil, and to the detriment of the growing plant; and that is prob ably why it la we see so many failures of all kinds of crops if the season happens to be a dry one, and a con siderable amount of weeds, rubbish and surface accumulation have liecn plowed under. But, contrary to what haa generally been accepted as sound doctrine, the tendency or movement of plant food in the soil is upward, instead of downward, except during, and a few hours after, heavy rains; and it therefore often happens in the case of long cultivated and foul lands there is very great benefit in turning the surface deeply under— but as the sole condition that a con siderable Interval shall elapse be tween the plowing and the seeding in order for the decay of vegetable mat ter to take place, and thereafter that food get to the surface as needed. Therefore, the rule for wheat and corn both is, if to be sown on land turned just before seeding, let the plow run light; if to be fallow during winter for the one and summer for the other crop, let the plow run deep, But perhaps what has pre vented the early and general adop tion of the practice of fall plowing heretofore, has been the difficulty of procuring plows which would do the work in the fall while the weed growth was still strong, the stubble and rubbish thick and heavy, and the sward perhaps tough. The wood en mould board and east-iron plows made for the thin gravelly and sandy lands of the South, and portions of the West, the light steel plows adapted to prairie work, were all too light and wholly insuflicient for the job, except under the condition that the weeds and stubble had been cut, and together with the rubbish, gath ered and burned, and the surface marie smooth and clean. But now, thanks to the invention of the sulky plow, all this previous clearing up of foul land has become unnecessary, for such is the capacity of some of the best, most improved and largest of these plows that they are capable of turning under any amount of weed growth to be found in the country anywhere. Of this new and useful implement the patterns are many and various, but each is good in its line. Two Instances of Successful Fanning. From Hi#* Tribune. Mr. Robert J. Swan, Geneva, X. V., is a worthy Bon-in-law to the ven erable John Johnston, that remarka bly successful agriculturist and "fath er of tile draining in America." Kach rod.of his 350 acres is thorough ly underdrained, seventy-five miles of tile having been put down for this purpose at a cost of about 27 cents per lineal rod. Fifty acres of wheat yielded this year forty bushels per acre (five bushels less than is some times secured,) and "a fine, dense, uniform growth of clover was even with the top of tire stubble." Tbe corn usually gives eight}* shelled bushels. "The condition of the land," the Cultivator says, "is gradually im proving, through the agency of turn ing in crops of clover and by copious manuring." Mr. C\ M. Hooker, of Brighton, X. V., has paid liverymen of Rochester $1
