Farm Work for March.
Marcli has lonp been noted for irregularity.
Its morning promises are followed by evening
jilts and flurries. Snow, rain and hail follow
in mad succession ; and the wind nt length
comes in to settle all disputes and give direc-:
tiou to the elements.
Like Napoleon the Third, it raises the high
est flag and for a time puts to silence all the |
jiowers that were warring against each other.
But let not farmers war against a March wind.
No douht it has good and bad qualities min
gled together. Winds purify the atmosphere,
and when we cau have high winds better than
in March ?
Winds in April and May interrupt the sow
er. In June and July they prostrate corn and
grain. In August and September they shake
our fruit trees too hard. And as to October
and November all farmers say the high winds
do more harm than good.
Let us not complain then of the high March
winds, hut take advantage of them to turn
mills where there are no waterfalls, and to do
up all the chores iu sheltered alcoves and on
sunny sides.
As we have had but little snow this winter
we must rely on wheels to bring home our
wood and saw-logs, unless we are prepared to
take advantage of the first snows that come.
In Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, the
fanners have had good sledding for several
weeks, and as usual, we presume, have hauled
up a year's supply of wood to be cut up and
split and piled in March—wind or no wind.
Meanwhile the cattle must be strictly at
tended to. Regular feeding is always import
ant. If you feed at nine this evening, your
cattle will expect you to feed them nt nine
next evening—but you may do better in let
ting them lie and sleep through the night than
to disturb their slumbers by offering more
food.
in the month of March and April, we ex
pect our cows to have ca'ves. March is a good
month in which to record the births of calves
that are to be raised ; and it is not a good
practice to let cows come in during mid-win
ter, for they will not be so productive of milk
and butter through the summer.
Farmers, whose chief object is milk, are in
the practice of letting their cows calve in Au
tumn, as ihi* is the only mode of keeping up
a supply through the Winter ; but the stock
breeders are to pursue a different course. They
want Spring calves for raising, as young cat
tle should always shed their coats iu the
Spring ; aud they will when they are a year
old at that season.
Calves arc more thrifty and better formed
when they are permitted to suck for two or
three months, and they are very easily weaned
at that time, in case they have had access to
a little oat-meal placed in a trough in their
[ten. If they are shy of oats or oat-meat,place
a green sod, or some loam, in the trough and
mix it with the meal. Calves learn very soon
to liek up oat meal—or oats —or Indian meal
mixed with either. Bat oats or oat-meal are
less likely to injure calves than clear Indian
meal. Recollect that loam is the best remedy
for scours.
Rocks that have been dug and piled in ;
heaps may be drawn off to the line where they i
are to be laid into wall though there may lie i
but little snow in the pastures. Sleighs with !
broad wooden shoes are the very implements i
which we want for this pnrpose. Loads are !
easily put on and rolled off. And now when !
the sun has melted off the snow from the heaps, 1
the work of hauling them to place is as agree- ,
able as any that is done out doors.
Good farmers will yoke up their steers often |
and use them gently. The but end of a whip
handle on the noses of cattle to make them
hear the word " whoa," has often produced
wens that are never cured.
Calves should never be tied up in stalls ; let
them run together in loose pens and have a
trough above the manger, to put the meal and
cut roots in. Recollect that fresh loam is the
very best remedy for scours in calves and that
they will eat without feeding or forcing
Ploughman.
To DKSTROY LICE ON CATTLE, kc. —Messrs.
Editors : In one of your papers, some one in
quires for the best means of keeping lice from
cattle and horses. I can tell him how to do
it effectual!} :
My father was a good fanner in olden times.
Rut his cattle aud colts would sometimes get
lousy. Being the youngest son, it was made
my business to take care of the calves and
young colts, and see them safely through the
Winter. To keep lice from them I tried a
decoction of tobacco, applied to their backs
and necks. I never failed. I then tried Scotch
snuff, sifted on their backs That also proved
eqnallv efficacious, and was more convenient
than the first experiment. Rut on examina
tion I found that all the cattle and colts that
were in the habit of standing before the barn
door whilst the grain was being winnowed, and
became all covered by the chaff dust were never
lousy. I then tried sifting the chaff dust upon
the calves, and found it as effectual as tobacco
in any form. Since that time, I have sifted
npon the calves dry, lino dust from the streets,
and find that equally as efficacious as either of
the other experiments. Hens and chickens
are apt to get lousy when kept in a close pen
where they can have 110 convenient place to
scratch in the dry dirt. Rut give them a chance
to scratch and roll in the dry dirt, and they
will never be troubled with lice. .1. L. EDC.ER

M INURE MAXIMS —At a late meeting of the
Ear ner's Club of the American Institute, Mr.
T. W. FIELD read a paper on manures, in which
he said :
The whole subject of manures may be stated
in this proposition
1. Mauure docs not waste so long as it is un
fennented, or undissolved, and these conditions
may be effected by drying or saturation.
Sb Fresh in mure, is unfit for food or plants.
a. Fermenting manure, in contact with inert
matter, has the power of neutralizing vicious
properties, such as the taunio acid of peat, and
making it a fertilizer.
4. Manure wastes in two ways—the escape
of gas and tlte dissolving of its soluble salts.
5. The creative power of manure mixed with
other substances, is capable of multiplying its
val many times,
<i. The value of manure to crops is in pro|>or
tioa to its divisibility through the s<ul. The
golden rule of farming should be small quanti
ties of manure thoroughly divided aiul inter
mingled with the soil.— Country Gentleman.
Ur A Vermont Yankee has invented a pump
bv which horses and cows pump their own
drinking water.
