amounts to but little when a fane • r
' owns a horse powi r, and it is ala i s
,in position, as it siiouhl Is . In our j
I own case, we have a two borSe tmal
|ower, which occupies so little roc in
that we keep it standing on the floor,
• always ready to put the 'rap on and
go to work. In the stables below,
j convenient to the cattle, we have par- I
, titioned < If a bin, capable of holding
j four hundred bushels or tuore. Tle
I cutting machine stands immediately
i over this, nnd a hole in the floor just
i where the cut fodder falls from the
■ machine, permits it to drop into the
bin without further lalior. To till
J this bin, trampling the cut fodder as
solid aa may i>e, and sprinkling a lit.
( tie salt over it occasionally, consti-
I lutes one of the stormy day jol a
I for the men and horses, and in this
1 way we run all our atalka through
: the cutter, and scarcely miss the
1 lime it takes. In fact it ia ao inex
' pensive a job with us, if nothing were
! saved in the increased value of the
I stalks aa food, we abould continue
I the practice for the sake of the great
er convenience in handling the ma
nure. Kvtfrv farmer who feeds out
the long stalks, and is subjected to
the inconvenience occasioned by them
every time tbey are handled, from
the time the cows are done eating
at them until they are plowed under,
I will appreciate this.

A G'uro for Pour Blight.
Pear hliglit is rather a tender sub
ji r-t with us just now. A flue hear
ing ll'itett of our own hus just
gitin iijs the ghost, ami we rcpiodtieo
the following fiom tlie proceedings
of the Klmira Farmer's G'iub, as re
ported ill the Uimlniiuliiiiiii, in hopes
that tlie remedy suggested may save
some of our leaders a like mortifica
tion : *
Tiic tree was badly blighted, the
top boughs being dead down nt least
four feet, anil every limb of the tree
seemed more or less affected. The
land was iit'll with barnyard manure,
but 1 concluded it wanted mineral
food, so 1 dug away the noil for ix
or eight feet around the tree and
down until the top roots were all un
entered, arid then took 100 pounds
of Herman salts (containing 15 pounds
of pure potash; mixed it with four or
live times its weight of earth, and
-i read it over the roots. I next took
hi pounds of su|Kiphospliate, ami
mixed it with earth and spread it on
top of the mixture with potash salts.
Then I took 50 pounds of lime mixed
with earth and spread on top of the
potash ami phosphate (thete contain
all the above minerals.) We then
drew from the well twenty or thirty
pails of water and gave the whole a
thorough wetting, and in one week's
time I could see that the tree was re
viving, and blight apparently never
i-xti ruled mi inch beyond what i!
was at tlie time of making the experi
ment. The tree bore a small crop of
good pears in the centre of the top
that summer, hut at the extremities
of the limbs they fell off. The nex'
\iar it bore a large and fine crop of
|icarn. None fell <>tr and no inseets
seemed to touch tlieiu. The third
tear wan the same, the crop laige.
tine and smooth, and this, the fourth
year, the crop promises as good as
the two previous years. Now this
proves to my mind, (so far as one ex
pel im nt ran prove anything,) that
what we call "pear blight'' is simply
-taivaiion : that the mineral supplies
in the sml had iM-corm*exhausted and
the tree was dying for the want of
cod. J fed it, and it got well, and
n turned rue many times four-fold.

What Line of Far miufr to Folku*
ijMttl'i Fntlll || I•
In dets iminirig what line of farm
ing to follow, there are many (pie*
Ileus to be decided. Cost <if produc
tion is one; the inlfUenee on the soil
another ; the demand for the product
and the probable prices a thinl ; cost
of getting Into market, and the abili
ty to bold for a rise also, must lie
taken into consideration. Then it ia
well for a man to consult bis taste as
far as lie tan. for that which a men
likes beat, other things (wing eqiiwl,
he is most likely to succeed in.
To illustrate these points, a man
without experience In growing it,
goes into production of b(ooin corn,
ami although tlie crop may bring a
fair price, the expense ol handling
eala up the pi edit.
There ate certain crnpa aueh aa
broomcorn and harlev which fluctuate
in price to that, unlcsa the farmer ia
able to hold one )ear or more, lie
must often sell at let* price than the
cost of the production. Tfcen there
are cropa like tobacco,.which imjiov
eriah the soil, or the farm may be
rolling and inclined to wash, no tliat
continued cropping iu corn would
ruin it.
A bunch of cattle which repreaent
the profits of a year's industr y, can
lie tiriven over a rough road fifteen
or twenty miles to msrkot at a cost
of less than one per cenL, while to
wagon corn the same distance, would
cost from ten to twenty per cent, of
Its value.
Home mm like stock farming,
while other* prefer truck farming,
MIKI still others dairy, and in locating,
Hum* tiling* should all lw considered.
While iliere should lie f settled plan,
I would nut by an means ad vise that
Hie farmer con(inc himself to any
single product, lor eiliter tin* failure
of the crop or very low prices for it
would IM; a serious matter to liitn.

Very Useful Information.
The great frequency with wliicli
minor accidents, resulting in bruises,
sprains ami cuts, occur on the farn i
is sulllcient warrant for our re-publi
cation, froiu the fiotdin Huh, of the
following plain and simple directions
for their treatment:
1 he first thing to be done in the
case ola sprain is to avoid action as
much as possible, and wrap around
a wet cloth four thicknesses, well cov
ered by dry flannels, the cloth to be
wet in simple cool water, at first, to
prevent an excess of local heat, and
then a little urni'-a tincture, or worm
wood, or, in the absence of these,
mustard water, or even salt and wa
ter in the proportion <fa teaspoon -
ful to a quart of water The part
thus subjected to fomentation, prac
tically does not become inflamed, if
applied immediately, and will not
j generally become sore to any consid
erable extent. I know of no salve
ointment or liniment that will effect
as much in the time—not halt as
much. For the cut, it is well not to
w rap it up in the blood, which soon
Incomes putrid, but to wash it as
clean as |>ssible, bring the parts to
gether—if large, adhesive strips may
lie used—and then apply the wet
cloths (with the arnica) the flowers
of which may lie had at any drug
gists, and Bleeped gently, a fourth of
an ounce in a quait of water, a tea
spoonful to a pint of water, when the
cloth is applied, the wound being
bathed in the full strength, the wound
t • be kept w japjted in this way till
the Bonnes* disappears. When treat
ed in this way there is much less of
a scar than usual.
