Jfarmtr's Jjipartmeut. Look after the Coarse Fodder. Nothing is more common in the fields and barn-yards of our farmers, than to see quanti ties of straw, corn-stalks, and coarse litter ly ing kicking about the cattle's feet, and in piles along the fences, where a little of it is nosed over by the stock, and the rest trodden under foot aud wasted. This is all wrong, and as unnecessary as wrong. Every particle of coarse fodder, even to buckwheat, pea and bean straw, should be carefully foddered out, for in certain portions of the Winter, if the stuff be well saved and clean, the cattle, sheep, and horses will con sume it all. If the racks under the sheds arc not sufficient to hold it, we build cobble pens of rails, poles, or coars-e limbs, in the yards, or adjoining fields, and curry out, or haul with a wagon, cart, or sled, as the case may be, the litter, and pitch it into them. To these, in good weather—not in rain or snow storms — we drive the stock, and never had any difficul ty in their eating all. or the most of it, even when they fed on good hay ovei night in their stables and sheds. Sometimes, when the straw is not bright, by sprinkling on a little brine the stock will cat it clean, when otherwise they would hard ly touch it. It is of no use to say, that such fodder does the stock no good. We know better. Anything that the cattle eat with a relish dee* do thein good. Cold bright weath er is the time to feed out of all coarse fodder, and it is wrong to waste a single handful that any creature you have will consume. SETTING FENCE POSTS. —We hear frequent complaints of the perishableness of fence posts set in the ordinary way. Aud to the suggestion that the lower ends of the posis should be charred, it is replied that while charring benefits the outside of the timber, it cracks it open so that water penetrates the wood still further, and causes a rapid decay in the interior. Let us, then, make another suggestion.— Char the lower end ol the post for eighteen Inches or two feet, so that about six inches of the charred part will be above the surface of the ground. Have in readiness a kettle of hot coal tar, (a cheap article,) and plunge it into the lower end of ea< b post ; or apply it into the crevices. A second application is de sirable, as soon as the first becomes drv, and will make the timber water-proof for many years to come. CI RE FOR LICK ON CATTLE, COLTS AND PIGS. During winter, farm stock are apt to get lousy. The following articles w ill drive away, or kill the lice : Ist. Soft grease, of any kind, and Scotch snuff—an ounce of snufi' to a pound of grease —mixed and rubbed in among the hair, on the affected parts. If you have not the snufi", use the grease without it. It will effect a cure. We have tried it. 2d. Powdered charcoal, or coal dust, sifted into the hair. 3d. Ashes from the blacksmith's forge, sift ed into the hair. For lice on swine or pigs. Pour buttemilk along their backs,freely, so that it will trickle in little streams down their sides. These all have been tried, with entire suc cess, so that uo one need have an excuse for lousy stock. If sheep get tidy during the winter, open the wool along their backs, and sprinkle in a little Scotch snuff, from the head to the tail. A table-spoonful is quite enough for the larg est sheep, and from that down to a tea-spoon ful for a lamb. To PREVENT SNOW DRIFTS BY FEVCFS.— Such drifts are generally caused by an eddy or lull of the wind, occasioned by meeting with high tight fences. To obviate this, one can either take down his fence at the approach of Winter, or, what is better, build a very open fence which will not obstruct the wind. A wire fence will answer a very good purpose, but as this does not always work well in oth er respects, the same end may be gained by building a fence with quite narrow boards.— Have them sawed one inch thick and four inches wide. Set the posts firmly, three feet in the ground. Leave a space of three inches between the bottom board and the ground : four inches between that and the second board ; five inches between the second and third, and nine inches between the fourth and fifth.— This makes a fence four feet and a few inches high, which answers every purpose of protec tion, and does Dot occasion the formation of snow-banks. Considering the great inconven ience, and even danger, caused by drifts, which are often piled up along the highway, in some localities, above the neighboring fences, we think this suggestion an important one. THE CRANBERRY AS AN ORNAMENTAL PLANT. —No plant of its size can equal the Cranber ry in beauty. Its leaves of rich dark green j n summer, changed to reddish brown in winter, remain on the plants through the year. The thread-like stalks stand erect and mat close like moss. They would form a border some what resembling box, and would require only an occasional trimming off of the runners to keep them in form for years. From the last of June to the 10th July they are in blossom being thickly interspersed with the most beau tiful transparent pale pink flowers. The flovv rs are succeeded, as if by magic, with berries at first green, but soon changing to a bright .r iinson scarlet, covering the plants in a pro fusion unequalled by any other fruit, having produced three bushels of berries to the square rod. The berries will remain on the vines through the year. I may be enthusiastic, but have never seen any plant that would so soon attract attention as the cranberry plant. When iu blossom, its bell-shaped flowers, suspended by a hair like stern, almost seem the work of some fairy ; and then the berries, two. three, and on some varieties five, attached by the same hair-like stems to the parent staik, itself only the fifth part the size of a straw, excites one's sympa thy lest the fruit break the parent stalks", and we at once see the wisdom of their clustering so close together,thereby being enabled to bear their crimson loads of berries. If the uature of the cranberry was fully un derstood, it would be found in every " Coun try (i entlemanV* yard as well as in field cul ture. They draw their sustenance from water a small quantity of which is absolutely neces sary to sustaiu the plants iu bearing condi tion. T]je air always contains sufficient mois ture in the proper for.n for the cranberry plant in any location II L. I).— Country Or ntlt ma a Pel. ti. miscellaneous.

Its curing properties seem to be perfectly irresistible. The receipt for making this rare medicine, was ob tained from James Roudon, an old Swiss tar maker in North Carolina, who brought it with him from Switzer land. AS A FAMILY SALVE, it has no equal, both in its powers for doing good, and its extreme neatness as a CLEAN, SWEET, PURE, PLEASANT OINTMENT, healing without the least injury everything to which it is applied. MOTHERS USE IT for their Caked. Broken and Inflamed Brea-ts with charm ing success. Thousands of Mothers are thi day blessing : tbe hour in which tbev first applied the GOOD SWISS SALVE. SALT RHEI'M i and SCROFULOUS SORES and Swellings it rapidly j cures by striking at the root of the disease and drawing the humors to the surface. IT NEVER DRIVES THEM IN ! WARD! Under all circumstances ol' the case IT IS SAFE! Good Swiss Salve cures Felons. Good Swiss Salve cures Piles. Good Swiss Salve cures Burns. Good Swiss Salve cures Bruises.
