Soiling Cattle.
This sa ject is becoming one of especial in- j
terest to farmers, and more particularly to
those who own small farms, and are under the ;
necessity of economising in a rigid >degree, in
order to support their families.
The principle and economy in soiling is tiii :
n half an acFe of land can easily be • made to
furnish green food for a cow or a horse during
the season, tiil it becomes necessary to eom-i
raence with winter feed in December, while it
requires from an acre and a half to two acres
of pasture to keep the same animal the same :
length of lime. Besides this great saving of j
land, the manure of each animal soiled is ;
worth the interest on two acres of land at $5O i
per aero, over what it would be on com- j
mon pastuiage system. To offset a portion of i
this advantage, we most take into the account |
the labor it requires to cut the green fodder j
and feed it out daily ; and yet 1 an) inclined i
to beiieve this labor is no more tbaa a fair i
equivalent for the saving of time in d:iving,
stock to pasture, and keeping the fences iu a j
condition far more expensive than the soiling i
system requires. Indeed, on this system,fences |
may be dispensed with altogether, except the !
farm enclosure and roadsides.
Fencing materials sie now becoming an
item of great expense to all farmers, not only
in the materials themselves, but also is the
labor of building the fences aud keeping them in
good repair. Mcraovc-r, the waste land that
fences occupy (which is very considerable,) oa 1
the soiling system may all bo cultivated—an
Item of considerable importance on small farms '
where the land is divided into small fields. I
To adopt this system with the best results, j
the land from which the green fodder is to
epmc should be adjoining the barn, level and 1
Tery fertile ; and with the abundance of man
ure that is procured by soiiine,there is r.o ciifii- j
culty in making the land rich asd productive \
The best article for soiling is clover, and :
next to this is corn sown in drills or broad
cut, oats, miilet, rye, sugar canc (sorghum) j
barley, Hungarian grass, and any variety of I
grass tbat grows tall and luxuriant which is ,
relished by stock.
Sweet corn is the best to row for soiling.—
I have used a kind calied " Darling's prolific,"
which is wcii adapted to this purpose on ac
count of its thrifty growth and its tendency to I
tiller, or threw out numerous suckers, it may j
he sown at any time from May 15th to July.!
It is best to sow it in drills about 18 inches
apart with u seed sower. Cattle are kept in '
much better condition by soiling them. They
arc often turned out to pasture too early iu I
the spring,before the geass is sufficiently grown j
to afford them enough to satisfy their hunger, j
nnd if there happent to be an early drouth .
they can not thrive, ar.d they will hardly get!
over the effects of a bad winter's keeping before
they enter upon another. On the soiling sys- j
tern, a drouth does not serionsly affect the '
stock, as their supply cf fodder is always
grcsa, succulent and abundant.
Independent of ai! the considerations cf
economy that I have named, cows give much
more milk when soiled, and yield it more re- j
gniariy than when pastured, and the waste of
time, and the worrying of cows in driving them >
to distant fields in warm weather, are avoid- ;
cd. What can be more injurious to a noble j
cow than to send au unfeeling boy to drive her
n half c. mile to posture every day during the I
summer, with the thermometer often up to 50
degrees, while, perhaps, sua is worried by a
dog, cr pounded with a club, because she docs
■not happen to suit in her gait, cr otherwise, j
b?r driver ? Milk, when thus heated by irn
pioper driving of cows, docs not produce cs
much cream as it does under other circum
stances, which is a good argument in favor of
the soiling system. Butter made from the
milk of soiled cows does not have that ciiy
appearance which i 3 so often tho case in warm
weather, when cows are driven to and from
their pasture. Nor is there any difficulty in
butter "coming" in tho warmest weather,
when soiled.
A farmer in Walt'nam, Mas?.., is said to
have made last season 389 lbs. of butter, from
the milk of four corvo, in thirteen week*, fed
on green fodder—chiefly grass, and corn sowed
broadcast. The cows were not out of the
barnyard during that time. Two cf the nr.i j
Rials were heifers only two years old, which
Lad calves in the spring, and the whole of the
milk cf one cf them was taken by her calf dur- j
ing six weeks out of the thirteen, and seme of \
the milk of the ether was used in the family ; I
from which circumstances it may bo said that
the four cows should not be rated at
than (be ordinary cncs.
A yard should be connected witk the barn,
of a size proportionate to tho number of cat
tie soiled. For a half dozen cows, about a
quarter of an acre is necessary, so that the j
weaker ones may not be annoyed by those j
that are stronger aud mora pugnacious. They
should have an open shed to lie under in (
stormy weather during summer, and in Novem
ber they should be hccscd in their stalls at '
night-.
On this system of feeding, large quantities ;
of roots can be fed to advantago. Indeed, let ;
no man think that he can derive the greatest j
possible profit from Lis live 6tock who does'
not grow root crops. Boots arc the key to
all successful farming in England, and they
are almost as important here. Carrots stand
at the head pf the list here, but turnips in
England. Every tnileh cow should be fed a
bushel of carrot?, at least, daily, fcom
November to June, or some other equivalent
root that dees not affect the milk.—T. I>.

BARLEY FOR ITRXS. —There is no grain so
well suited as food for ben. Barley, when
fed with oats and corn, will often be gathered
first by the fowls, and liens fed with more or
less barley, are said to lay more freely. We
have used barley and peas, and our return
is evidence cf the suitableness of the
food.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
i COMPOUND REMEDY, designed to le the most ef-
J\ 1.-. tual Allca ire that can be made, it is a con-
Ict ntrnted extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so eflmkncu with
I other substances ot still greater alterative power as to
\ afford an effective antidote tor the di*< arcs Sarsaparilla is
! reputed to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is
wanted by those who slider Iron) Strumous complaint*,
and that one wTiTcft will accomplish their cure must prove
of immense seivice to this large class ol our afflicted fel
low-citizens. How completely ibis compound will do it
hs been proven by experiment on many ot the worst
ca-"s to be found ot the following Complaints :
ScßOKt't.v axp Scuort Lors COMPLAINTS, KarrrtoNS i

i 1 NDIGESTION. KKYSIPW.AS, ROSK OK ST. ANIHOSV's FIKK.
| and indeed the whole class of complaints aiisiug from ,
iIMPrKITV op Till" Ri.OOIt.
This compound will be found a great promoter of
health, when token in the spring, to expel the foul bu
: mors tvnkh tester in the blood at that season of the year.
I By the timely expulsion of them many rankling disor
; ders arc nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid I
j of this remedy, spare themselves Irora the endurance ot ,
I eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system ,
will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to ;
do this through tiie natural channels of the body by an j
i alterative mi-ccine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood |
whenever you hud its impuiities bursting through the I
skin in pimples, eruptioni. or sores ; cleanse it when you '
find it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins : cleanse it 1
| whenever it is foul, and your Iceiiitgs will tell you when. |
j Even where 110 paitienlar disorder is ielt people enjoy
j better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood.
I Keep the blood healthy, and all is well; hut with this
pabulum of life disordered, there can be uo lasting health.
Sooner or later something must go wi< ug, and the gua
machinery ot life is disordered < r overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has. and deseives much, the repnf ition of
accomplishing these ends. But the world has been egre
giously deceived by preparations ol it, partly because |
the drug alone lias not all the virtue that is claimed for j
it. but more because many preparations, pretending to
be concentrated extracts of it. contain but little ot the '
J virtue ol Sarsaparilla. or anything else.
During late years the public have been misled by large
| bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsa
parilla lor one collar. Most, of these have been frauds
j upon the sick, lor they not only contain little, if any
Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever.
Ileuce, bitter and painful disappointment has followed
the use of the various extracts of Sarsojmrilla which
flood the market, until the name itself is justly de
spised, and has become synonymous with imposition and
cheat. Still we ca'.l this compound Ssrsaparilla, and in
tend to siij.pl/ such a remedy as shall rescue the name
from the load ol obloquy whidh rests upon it. And we '
' think we have ground lor believing it lias virtues which j
J aic irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is I
| intended to cure. In order to secure their complete
; eradication limn the system, the remedy should be judi
ciously taken according t-> directions on the bottle.
