farmer's oquttmcut.
Make a Map of the Farm.
Few of onr farms are in a finished state
Most of them aie more in the rntv slate than nn
ture left them,and hare to he recovered from tin
consequences of the had management of their
former occupants. Th?y are yet chaotic, and
It will take more than six days of lahor, to
round them into forin, to separate land from
water, aud to turn the waste into fruitful field.
They are to be made as mnch as the house
that baa only its frame-work reared, or the
ship that stands 011 the stocks, with implanted
ribs and beams. Many are waking np this un
finished state of their farms, and have already
begun certain improvements, and have plan
ned certain others, which hide their time.
But the improvement of a particular field is
too often undertaken without any reference to j
the rest of the fann, and a great deal of iabor
is needlessly expended. We have seen one
field drained, and its water carried off ou to
the adjacent fieid only to make it more wet !
and valueless than ever. The only way in
which farm improvements may be mnuag< d
with economy, is to regard the farm as a whole, J
and to make every improvement with refer- i
euce to a system which shall embrace the
whole A house to suit the occupant, can be
built much cheaper at the outspt, than to j
modify the plan and make successive additions,
in so many successive years. The architect
finds a plan iudispeiuible to do his work. The
whole work is projected from cellar to garret,
the size of every room and its estimated cost
put down. The ship builder does not touch a
stick of timber, until he has his model comple- j
ted, and the length and size of every timber in 1
the vessel estimated.
The farm, as it ought to be, is simply a ma-'
chine for the production of crops, as the ship |
is a machine for navigating the water. It has
to be made out of the materials which nntnre 1
furnishes, all requiring more or less modifica
tion, to adapt them to the purposes of produc- j
tion. It is manifest, then, that the first step
of the farmer to improvement, is to form a
clear idea ofwhnt he wants in u farm. He is
the owner of, say three hundred acres of land,
embracing the usual variety of forest, swamp,
J >asture and tillage. Some of it is light sandy
and, some heavy clay, and another portion is
so rocky, that it has never been plowed. The ;
forest of fifty acres, he wishes to retain for fuel {
and timber, so that that may lie regarded as a |
fixture. He has determined upon a rotation
of crops embracing a six years course. He
therefore needs but six large fields to carry 011
his course of cropping. Deducting ten acres
for his farm buildings, lawn, garden, orchard,
&c., he has 240 to be ent. np into six lots of
forty acres each. This is his plan. li s fann, j
as it lies now, is divided into twenty lots, or
more, has rocks to be removed, brush pastures
to be cleared up, and swamps to drain. This
cannot all be done in one year, but in six
years, he can do it, and make it pay. So he ;
draws his map of the farm as it is, and deter- 1
mines to begin his improvements upon the low- j
er side, where there is a good outlet for all the !
water that he wishes to drain off. He finds J
npoiPthis side of the farm, four or five fit 1 s
to he thrown into one $ and a swale of three
acres with a hard clay subsoil, that must be 1
furnished with tile ; and several gravelly knolls i
that need a coating of clay.
With a map before him, the farmer can
project oil these improvements, ns he sits by j
the Winter fire. lie can calculate very accu
rately how many rods of new fence will need
to be made, how many rods of ditch mu*t bo j
dug, and how many tiles he must order, and
about what will be the cost of the operation.'
He can tell, within a fraction, how many loads
of clay or muck he will need upon the grave! ,
hills, to cover them an inch thick. His whole
pathway of improvement will be clear and iu
minous, and lie will not become discouraged,
and leave a thing half done, like a man w ho is
feeling his way in the (lark. The assurance |
that he is on the path of improvement is worth
everything to the farmer. There is no good
reason why he should not pursue his purposes
with as much cheerfulness, and confidence of
success, as the house or the ship-builder. Let
him map his farm, and go forward into the ex
ecution of a plan, resolutely, and patiently, and
in due time, he will have a machine for pro
ducing crops, admirably adapted to his wants,
arid to his market.— American Agriculturist.
CARROTS FOR STOCK. —Can anything be bet
ter as Winter food for all kinds of animals,
than this familiar root ? We have used it for
several years with most gratifying results.—
It is not only useful as a " relish" with other
fodder, as apples and vegetables are for man
kind in the Winter, but it contains valuable
nourishing properties, and may be used as an
alternate substitute for other food. Wc are
not surprised to learn that the keepers of live- :
rv stabies in cities are beginning to use car
rots for horse food. They hold that a peck of
carrots and a peck of oats are bettor for a
horse than two peeks of oats. All animals re
quire for their health and comfort green food
10 mix with their dry fodder, and their Win
ter bill of fare is deffieient, if it does wot in
clude carrots.
We have the report of an experiment made
by a careful farmer to test the relative value
of several kinds of food for milch cows with
the following result : three pounds of carrots
equal to one pound of hay. This would make
three tons of carrots equal to one ton of hay
— t. f., for producing milk ; but for fattening
puposes, we should place the carrot near upon
a par with hay. This also is true of it, that
it yields larger crops than the potatoc, is mo e
nutritions, is better adapted to this climate
than rota-baga or tnrnips, can be more readi
ly and better kept through the Winter, and is
more easily prepared for feeding, as it does
not require boiling or steaming, unless it be
for swine. We sometimes meet in our exchan
ges, with various receipts for coloring Winter
made butter ; hnt we believe the best way to
accomplish this is by feeding the cows on good
orange carrots, and leave to them the work of
coloring the hotter.
The culture is not too difficult. Give the
ground a liberal manuring with well decompos
ed dung, and if to this is added a mixture of
muck or chip dirt, it will help the matter.—
Of course, the plowing and harrowing must be
thoroughly done. Sow in drills two feet apart,
if for horse tillage ; if done with the hand, at
less distance. Sow when the soil is a little
moist, and press tire earth firmly over the
seed.— American Agriculturist.

several fat hog* have been stolen first by ad
ministering chloroform, and then taking them

squeal.
