Sow Corn for Feeding.
JTardiy another item of farm labor is BO im
portant as this, for June. Pastures are usual
ly short, the last of August and September,
and even in the best ot grass years, the green
succulent stalks of cctn are welcome addition
to the feed of every grazing animal. If nut
absolutely needed lor green fodder, then the
stalks can be kept for winter use ; and, if cut
seasonably and properly cured, they arc yearly
as valuable as English hay. The ground can
hardly be made to produce so much valuable
fodder, at so little _ txpease, with any other
crop.
The ground should be in good heart ; if not
so, let it be manured with 10 to 20 cords of
stable manure per acre. The corn is sometimes
sown broadcast, but tli£ crop is not as 'arge
as when sown in drills, 2 1 2 to 3 feet apart
and cultivated 2or 3 times, before it is too
large for tho operation. If foddered from the
field, the cutting may commence about the
time the spipdle makes its appearance,and may
be continued until the ears are glazed. If it
is to be cured for winter use, it should be cut
just as tie beginning to siik. If left
later, the ears will not cure well. As a rule,
it should not stand later th'an the middle of
September, at which time the season is suffi
ciently warm to cure the staiks rapidly.
There is a choice in the varieties of core for
this purpose. The small kinds that have been
cultivated mainly for the grain, for many gen
erations, are not so good as the larger varie
lus. Some use the Southern corn altogether,
for this purpose, and it does well. Others use
Bweet corn only, thinking there is more nour
ishment in the stalks. We have used, for
several years, the Stowell's Evergreen Sweet
Corn, and, on tho whole, prefer it to any vari
ety we have ever experimented with. It
yields an enormous burden of fodder, and is
one of the best articles for feeding swine, as
well as neat catt'e. llorses, also, are very
fond of it, and it may economically make up
half their food while it lasts. But the variety
is not a very essential matter. Sow sweet cor'u
if you have it, or can readily procure it. But
by all means,sow corn,aud keep up a full flow
of milk in September aad October.
GAKI.IC.—A correspondent in the last num
ber of" The Farmer and Gardener " asks for
the "best method of preventing milk and but
ter from tasting of Garlic, when, from neces
sity, cows arc turned where it is." I do not
know thatl can prescribe the best mcthod.but
a very effectual remedy is found in saltpetre.
Place a lump, from the size of a pea to a hick
ory nut iu the bucket before commencing to
milk.
The saltpetre will thus become thoroughly
dissolved and diffused through the milk he
fore straining. By a little experience, a care
ful milkmaid will be able to almost wholly re
move the taste of garlic from her milk and
butter.
It is advisable, where it can be done, to re
move the cows from the gariicy pasture five
or six hours before milking. A large portion
of the garlic will be expelled in the exhala
tions, consequently less saltpetre will be re
quired,and there will be less danger of the lat
ter being detected on the taste of the butter.
"When everything is kept perfectly clean and
sweet, there need be no fear of the butter
tasting old, if churned several days before it
is destined for use, provided it be immediately
weil worked. Indeed, where it is necessary
to nse this salt as a corrective, the butter is
improved by a Week or two of age.
Saltpetre will, to a considerable extent,also
remove the taste of bitter weeds, turnips, nod
rank clover from milk and butter. Whether
it will interfere with " fine flavor " imparted
to " Philadelphia June butter" by the sweet
scented vernal grass I have no means of know
ing ; but this 1 do kftow that I have often
sold butter treated in the above manner to
some of our city connoiseurs, who invariably
praised its good qualities, especially for keep
ing it free from raucidity.— Farmer and Gar
dener.
OL'R CREED. —-We believe in small farms and
thorough cultivation.
We believe that soil loves to eat, as well as
its owner, and ought, therefore, to be manured.
We believe iu large crops which leave the
land better than they found it—making both
sbe farmer and the farm rich at once.
We believe in going to tho bottom of things
and, therefore, in deep plowing, and enough of
it. All the better if with a subsoil pdow.
We believe that the best fertiliser of any
soil, is a spirit of industry, enterprise and in
telligence—without this, lime aud gypsum,
bones and green manure, marl and gnano will
be of little use.
We believe in good fences, good barus.good
farm-houses, good stock, good orchards, aad
children enough to gather the fruit.
We believe in clean kitchen, a neat wife in
it, a spinning-piano, a clean cupboard, a clean
dairy, and a clean conscience.
We (irmly disbelieve in farmers that will not
improve ; iu farms that grow poor every year;
in starveing 'cattle; in farmers' boys turning
into clerks and merchants ; in farmers' daugh
ters unwilling to work, and in all farmers
ashamed of tbair vocation, or who drink
whisky 'ili honest people are ashamed of them,

CnAMrnoa AND MOSQCITOES. —Camphor is
the most powerful ageut to drive away mos
quitoes. A camphor bag hung up in .an open
casement will prove an effectual barrier to
their entrance. Camphorated spirits applied
as a pefum? to the face and bands will act as
an effectual preventive ; but bitten by ihem

Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
A COMPOUND REMEDY, designed to he the most ef
fectunl Alleia-ive that can he made. It is a con
ct titrated extractor Para Sarsaparilla. so combined with
other substances of still greater alterative power as to
afford an effective antidote lor the diseases Sarsaparilla is
reputed to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is
wanted by those who suffer trom SStinmoo* complaints,
and that one which will accomplish their cure must prove
of immense service to this large class of our afflicted fel
low-citizens. How completely this compound will dort
has liecn proven by ex|>erinicrit on many of the worst
cases to he found of the following complaints :
ScKOFI'I.A ASII ScHuKl'l.oL's CoMFLAINTS, EkUI'TIONS
ami Ekcitivk Diseases. Ulcbks, PiJiri.ES. Btofcßri.
Tenons, Salt Umkuk. Scald Head, ijrmii.is akh Sv
I'll 11. I TIC AL'FWTIONS, MbKCUKIAL DIsKA.-K, DkOFSY.NEC
kai.uia on Tic Dui'i.oi'iitix, Dlbikity, DYsrr.rsiA and
InihoksTion. Ekvhffi.as. Rose on St. Anthony's Eikk,
and indeed the whole class of complaints arising from
lIIPLKLTY OF the Blood.
This compound will he found a great promoter of
health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul hu
mors wnieh fester in the blood at that season of the i car.
By the timely expulsion ol them many rankling disoi
di-rs arc nipped in the find. Multitudes can. by the uiil
of this remedy, spare themselves from tlie endurance nt
eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system
will strive to rid it.scl! of corruptions, if not assisted to
do this through the natural channels ol the body by an
alterative men cine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood
whenever you find its impurities bursting through the
skin in pimples.eruptions,or sores ; cleanse it when you
lind it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when.
Even where no particular disorder is felt people enjoy
better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood.
Keep the blood healthy, and ali is well; hut with this
pabulum of life disordered, there can lie no lasting health.
Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the giea
machinery ol life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation of
accomplishing these ends, ltui the world has been egre
giously deceived hv preparations of it. partly because
the drug alone has not nil the virtue that is claimed for
it. hut more because many preparations, pretending to
be concentrated extracts of it, contain but little of the
virtue of Sarsaparillff. Of anything else.
During late years the public have liecn misled by large
hollies, pretending to g ve a quart of Extract ol Sarsa
parilla (or one dollar. Most of these have been frauds
upon the sick, tor they not only contain littie. if any
Sarsaparilla, hut often no curative properties whatever.
Hence, bitter and painli I disappointment has lollowed
the u-c of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which
flood the market, until the name itself is justly de
spised, and lias become synonymous with imposition and
cheat. Still we call this compound Ssr-apanlla, and in
tend to snpply such a remedy as shall rescue the name
from the load of obloquy whidh rests niton it. And we
think wc- have ground tor believing it has viitnes which
ate irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is
intended to cure. In order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should he judi
ciously taken according to directions on the bottle.
