meadow or Mowing Lands.
Now thot Mowing Machines are so rapidly ;
coming into use, those farmers who work
tlieiu are compelled to bring their meadows in
a better surface condition tlinn when the scythe
only was used ; as, on a good bottom depends
greatly the success, or the want of it, of the
machine. Some mowing lands are frosty, us
it is termed ; that is, heaving np, by the win
ter frost, of the spongy soil which overlies the i
hard pan beneath ; aud when the (rost is whol
ly out of the grouud, it settles unevenly, oi
liuramocky, and requires the aid of a heavy roll
er to crush it baek to un c<pial surlace. Olne.
lands have more or less small surface stones j
which arc thrown upwards by the frost, and !
when the grouud settles they remain there in i
the way of either the scythe or machine. Oth
ers, again, have been top-dressed during the
previous autumn, ami the coarser parts ot the
manure lie loose on the surface, and will not
sufficiently decompose before the hay harvest.
AH these require the roller, as soon as the fro>t
leaves the ground in the Spring, and a heavy
roller too, to bring all the hummocky turfs, and
small stones, down to an even surface.
The meadows should be gone thoroughly
over, too, to cut and take out all rooty grubs
or brushes that may have sprung up since the
last haying. Where roots are left in the ground,
thcyfrequently send up thrifty shoots late in the
season, which, if left uncut, will be sure to;
break or cripple the machine in passing over ;
them. All these shoots, and the grubs from i
which they spring, are best taken oijt by the
roots at once, by the grubbing-hoe, or axe.
It is now a good time, also, to examine and ;
see whether any bare spots are in the mead-1
ow ; and if so, sow thciu with the proper grass j
seeds, raking them thoroughly in with a sharp i
iron tooth rake ; or if the barren spots are ;
large, with a sharp toothed harrow. Let the j
meadow be covered with gra-s ia every part ; !
all low places drained ofT, that the young grass j
lie not drowned, or foul stuff come in, and this
should l>e among the first labors of the open
ing season.
RAISING TLKK K VS. —A correspondent, writing
from Michigan, October 4th, gives the follow
ing as his mode of raising turkeys. It is his
opinion that farmers can raise a pound of fowl
easier aud cheaper than a pound of pork. lie
says :
" Heretofore I have been unfortunate in rais
ing turkeys, but this season I have adopted a
different mode—a plan of my own invention—
by which I have been successful. Others may
have adopted the same course, but not to my
knowledge.
" Young turkeys are very apt to die before
they attain the age of three weeks. 1 came to
the conclusion that the fatality among them
was caused by vermin, heavy feed, and cold, ,
damp weather. My method this season has
been this :
Take the eggs of the first laying and set un
der hens ; the second laying let the turkeys
hatch. Two or three days before hatching
sprinkle the nest and fowls themselves with
sulphur. When the young were hatched, I
took a little sulphur, gunpowder and lard, mix
ed, and greased tin ir heads and necks, to keep
olf the vermin while the young brooded. If it ;
does not remain on, in eight or ten days put on
another coat.
MODE OFFKEDIXQ.—I took equal quantities
of wheat bran and Indian meal, and wet with ■
sour milk, or lnppered milk, with a good lot of
tine cut schieves once in two or three days in
with it, aud fed them till a month or six weeks
old ; then lessen the uran. Feed thcin early
in the morning to keep them from rambling in
in the dew.
LATE POTATOES —Tiw of Planting. —For
late potatoes, location pennitt ug, we would
pet them in between the 2Utli of April and the
10th of May.
AFTER Oi/rritE.—As soon ns the potatoes
begin to come up run a harrow through tliern
over the rows. This process—destroys grass
and weeds ; insure* a general stand and serves
as a cultivation of the potatoe. When the po
tatoes are up three or four inches throw a fur
row from them and turn it at the same time,
so as to leave a slight flat hill and strew four
bushels of ashes over the vines. In two weeks
plow again, preserving its flatness. The weeds
aud gra*s on the rows must be relieved by the
hoe and hand. At this working strew over
the vines on each acre a mixture composed of
5 bushels of ashes, 2 bushels of salt and 1 bush
el of plaster. In two weeks alter this give a
third and last working, increasing the size of
the hill a little, preserving its flatness, arid by
repeating the top dressing before advised.
C>l ANTITV OF SEEK PER ACKK. — It requires
from 12 to 15 bushels of potatoes cut into sets
to plaut un acre.
To PREVENT HENS SETTING. —Make a small
open pen, of laths ; or some similar material,
in oue corner of your hen house, about eight
inches wide and of any convenient length and
height. Let one of the laths or slats be so se
cured that it may be easily taken out or mov
ed to oue side, so that a hen can be conven
ient!} passed or taken out of the pen. On the
bottom of this pen, and running lengthwise
through it, set up a couple of laths one edge,
and fasten them about the same distance from
each other and the sides of the pen. Hun a
small perch across the pen and the work is done.
When a hen wishes to sit, put her in there.—
She will soon find that she can walk leisurely
ou the floor, or roost comfortably on the perch
but she cannot sit without " riding on a rail,"
and that they seem to think i-'nt decorous.—
The length of time for which they will have
to be confined will vary somewhat, and in ob
stinate cases it may be necessary to put a few
pegs or tacks into the edges of the laths.—
Gcnnesee Farmer.
Yocvo FRCIT TRF.KS. —Young fruit trees
which lack vigor of growth from too poor a
soil, should be stimulated with a good coating
of old manure spread around them and spaded
in as soon as the frost leaves the ground. All
fruit trees, except of the largest which do not
staud in ground kept constantly cultivated by
the hoe, should have the soil for several feet
kept well spaded around them. Soapsuds, es
pecially for peach trees, are fine.
STRAWUI;KKY IJKIS.—They should be kept
free from weeds and grass, well watered when
bearing. To keep the ground always moist
and the fruit clean, various methods are adopt
ed, the favorite being a mulch of spent tea. It
keeps down the weeds, yields a tannic acid,
io eps Uie ground iuoi t,aud preserve: the fruit
Yam dirt and sand.
