Swamp Dflucit.
One of the mi-takes in the use of muck, is
that incorjioraMng it with the so.l while yci
fresh fruiu the swamp, of with a too short sea
soning. It might sulliee as a caution against
committing this blunder if wc were to point
out the grounds, in reason, science ami com
mon seti-e, which indicate, more or les> plainly
that injurious results are likely tohappri. wiiem
muck is spread and ploughed in in a wet ami
fiesli tondition. Rut one fact may make a
deeper impression and be more convincing than
a score of < o net) itratiors on speculat ve or
scientific grounds, in the pages of the recent
ly issued Patent Oflice Report, we find a stale
incut lias'd on some few facts or observations
a- to this matter, the substance of which we
herewith submit, with the hope that its more
extensive dissemination may prevent similar
mistakes in others and in future. 'I he article
from which derive the information in the fol
lowing abstract was written by lion Simon
lirowti. of Concord Mass. He says that in
extensive low muck swamps the quality of the
material is often widely different, as may fre
quently be seen when these swamps arc drain
ed and long ridges of muck arc thrown tip on
the edges of the ditch. If thrown up in
autumn or winter, there will be a rank growth
of weeds or grasses on some portions of tins
ridge in the following summer, indicating great
fertility in the muck below, while, other por
tions will be entirely bare, or at best but par
tial! v covered with stunted fnugilor moss. —
These barren spots are sometimes covered with
a whitish-yellow substance, or with sulphate
iron. "Muck of thislatt r description, spread
upon pasture or mowing lauds, has been known
to prevent the growth of grass lor many years
in succession ; and \vheu ploughed and culti
vated, aquatic grasses ami plants spring up in
profusion, and can only he eradicated by a
most careful an 1 expensive process of cultiva
tion.'' Cases have come under his observation
in which the cost or trouble of cultivating a
corn crop has been doubled by the introduction
of these plants with this kind of muck, with
out being seasoned or composted. These plants
are not finally sal dued without much labor,
and if allowed to go to seed, will establish a
colony of intruders upon a farm which it will
be exceedingly difficult to eject. The caution
suggested by such facts is obvious, viz., that
fanners should exercise discrimatiou as to the
ij in fill/ of the muck they use, and that torn
.should be used until it had been seasoned I \
a winter's freezing and a summer's drying and
sprouting of seeds, or by being composted after
some seasoning. It may, indeed, be laid down
as a general rul", that, to insure its full bene
ficial efficiency and safety, muck should always
have been thrown cut one or two years before
being used either as a top dressing for mowing
lands, or for admixture with tilled soils, or for
absorbing liquid manures, or for compost
ing with fertilizing matter of any kind
Without exposure for such a length of time,
and some working over in the interim, muck
cannot become sufficiently dry, or sulliciently
pulverized, to be fit for any of the above pur
poses. The moisture with which it is saturat
cd, being poisonous or unfavorable to cvl tind
er! crops, should be got rid of by exposure to
rain and sun, and, iu addition, by admixture
with lime or ashes ; and then it should be
thoroughly dry and finely pulverized.— Country
Citn'leman.
WINTER FEED EOR MII.CII COWS. What
kinds of food produce tlie most milk in winter
seems not to be determined. Certainly, great
diversity prevails in modes of feeding among
the multitudes who keep cows cither for their
convenience or profit, yet comparatively few
are prepared to speak with any degree ot cer
tainty as to the kind of keeping which answer
best. One thing is quite certain, that no kinds
of food are yet known which produce equal to
summer grasses. Isut what com s the nearest
to it ? This is the question. Pumpkins we
have long been accustomed to regard as among
the very best materials for fall feed, and they
arc equally as valuable lor winter feed, and
as long as they can be preserved from frost
and rot.
Next to these, buckwheat shorts may be
named. These add more to the quantity than
the quality of the milk, but by adding about
one pint of Indian meal to four quarts of the
•horts yon secure your quality as well as quan
tity. Wheat bran or shorts may be substiti.t
ed for buckwheat where the latter is not lobe
had.
Carrots, beets, tarnips, and roots of like na
ture, are of great value, if not increasing the
milk, in retaining the flesh and health of the
animal. As fodder wc regard corn-stalks cut
up at the bottom and well preserved with the
huks on, as equal to anything—none the
worse we presume for the occasional ears which
are left on the stalks when harvested. In con
nection with these, fine hay rowen should be
fed, say once a day. If you have t one but
roarse hay, it is much better that it shoal 1
be cut and wet. Cows fed as above, iu warm
stables and kept clean, will furnish as good a
supply of milk as it) any way short of pastur
ing
You may, perhaps, obtain more milk per day
by feeding freely on Indian meal, say from
four to six quarts a day, with plenty of good
hay or stalks, but in this ease your cows will
be short-lived, or their days for giving milk
soou numbered.— Rural American, Dec. 1.
SI MMER I'RENINC, AITI.E TREE. —lt is a pret
ty well established fact that apple trees—and
we would add pear trees —pruned from the
middle of July to the middle of August, sus
tain tlie operation with much more advantage
than if pruned at any other period of the
year. If pruned at this time, the wound will
heal over, and make, what surgeons would say
of a properly amputated arm or leg, a hand
some stump. If the branches be lopped in
winter or spring, the stump generally leaves a
jK-rpetunl sear ; ami if after the sap has com
menced flowing, a bare bone, as it were, pro
jecting from the living parts of the tree, and
remaining there until it ro's away, when fre
quently the decay continues on, as a sort of
gangrene, into the very heart of the tree, much
to its injury. Who has not observed this in
his experience?
We hare more than once witnftsed the
benefits of pruuiug iu midsummer, and have
always been impressed with the advantages
over the system generally pursued. On one
or two occasions, some years ago, we adverted
to the fiet, and again call attention to it,
e<p' i i illy as the season for trying it is at hand.
