For the REPORTER.
The great stock feeding crop of England,
Ireland, Scotland, Belgium, aid largely in
France and the German States, is roots. —
Turnips make all the beef and mutton of
England, and are largely fed to horses and
pigs. The climate of England is well adap
ted to root culture. Large portions are left in
the ground, wlier cattle and sheep eat them
during winter months ; the crop is hardly
second to wheat in England. In fact it is
admitted of more consequence than the
wheat crop, as they could import wheat but
not turnips. Admit roots can be more eas
ily raised in England than here. Why is
this so? simply because their dense popula
tion compels the utmost production to every
acre, while here such is not the case. If
our farmers will only once make a fair trial
of any root crop, they will continue to raise
them. Corn does not average 35 bushels
per acre in this country; Rye 15 bushels,
Oats 25 bushels per acre is a fair average,
while the acre that produces fit) bushels of
corn, with a little more expense, will yield
—I speak from actual results on my own
land—six to seven hundred and fifty bush
els of Carrots, 42 pounds per bushel, and
eight hundred to one thousand bushels of
mangolds, swedes, or sugar beet, per acre,
while the average potato yield in this coun
try is about one hundred bushels per acre.
My average in corn in lst'>4 was about (>0
bushels, the same grade of land produced
7:50 bushels of carrots, and the rate of 1000
bushels mangolds, swedes, and Sugar beet
per acre. Admit it costs double per acre to
raise roots than it does corn, (which Ido
not believe if both are well cultivated,) you
get 3350 pounds of corn per acre and 30 to
40,000 pounds of roots. Assume the flesh
forming and fattening elements in corn is
00 per cent, you get 2010 pounds per acre
as such, assume the flesh forming and fat
toning element in carrots is 20 per cent and
you have in 700 bushels of 42 pounds per
acre 4880 pounds against the 2010 in corn.
To illustrate more plainly say it costs S3O
per aere to raise corn and put in crib, and
SOO per acre to raise and put in cellar an
ai re of roots, the acre of corn will produce
you 2010 pounds of beef, the aere of roots
s*Bo pounds. Assume the price of beef at
eight cents per pound, you get slOl 58 for
your acre of corn, and S4OO for your acre
of roots. The corn stalks say will pay the
S3O for cultivation, and deduct the still for
cultivating the acre of turnips ami the fact
stands $239,40 per acre in favor of roots.
1 do not intend to say the figures assumed
in this illustration are facts. Some will
say that 1 credit corn less than the facts,
and toots more. If so let* some farmer who
knows, give the facts and my object will be
attained, and the suggestions of your last
week's correspondent t< > farmers complied
with. ROOTS.
HOW SHALL WE IMPROVE THE AGRICUL
TURE OF THE COUNTRY?
I his is a question in which every Ameri
can tanner is -or should be interested.
\\ e cannot expect that those farmers who
have spent their whole lives in clearing up
their farms, and paying for them, will be
very much interested in tin's subject ; as
their career is well nigh run, and their am
bition anil aspirations do not prompt them
to engage in any laudable enterprise, and
to coiisumate important plans, as was once
the ease with them, but we have a right
t'i look to our young men, who are in the
prime of manhood, as the most suitable in
dividuals to commence and complete anv
important improvements in the improve
ment ot our agriculture.
but in order to effect any permanent im
provement in any brunch of business, it is
nt the first importance to have a correct
understanding of every branch of that bus
iness, and an ability and aptitude to ap
preciate any improvements that may be
suggested or carried into execution. * And,
more than all besides, it is important that
one should understand that an enterprise is
faulty and imperfect, before he will be able
to contemplate any real improvements in
anv brunch of business.
II a farmer feels that his agrieultuic
his system of farm management is good
enough, or that it is not practicable tomukc
any real improvements in any of the
branches of the business, we may rest as
sured that his agriculture, instead of being
characterized by progression, will be of a
retrogressive character, which will render
the soil less productive, the farm less fer
tile, and the country poorer from vear to
year.
The first important step then, towards
any permanent improvement in the agricul
ture of our country, will be to educate our
farmers in their profession. And the best
and most feasible manner of doing- this is,
by diffusing agrieultura' knowledge among
the farmers of onr country.
Most farmers are slow to think, and still
more slow to act -to adopt and carry into
execution. But as soon as thev are made
to see the importance of an inprovement,
and t<> see the benefits to a ecu re from it ;
win-it they see that otlicis have succeeded
well in improving their agriculture, the
stimulus ot ,t Inudalde example prompts
them to go and do likewise.
W hen a farmer reads accounts of the sys
tem of management of a good farmer, per
haps there is nothing that lias a greater ten
deney to induce him to commence some im
provement than the influence of such an ex
ample.
We need to discuss the principles of the
cultivation of the soil with more frequency,
ami in a more practical manner. And it
will l e our aim during the ensuing vear. t"
detail the best systems of improved Ims
dandrv in our country, anil to lay down
rules for commencing very desirable and
permanent improvements in our agriculture
proper.
The improvements in our domestic an
imals of all kinds, have far surpassed our
improvements in the cultivation of the soil.
It is well and importa t to have good hor
ses, to raise excellent neat cattle, sheep and
swine, and to have good fences, nice house
to live in, and spacious and commodious
out-buildings. But these considerations do
not by any means constitute good farming:
nor do tliey furnish reliable evidence that a
farm is in a good state of fertility, or that
the soil is very productive for either grass
or grain.
After our iarmers have received a proper
education in their profession, the next step
will be to put their knowledge into practice.
The epitome of the programme on this
subject will be about as follows : Ist. A
good understanding of the principles and
practice of under-draining, which lies at
the foundation of permanent improvement.
in our agriculture proper. 2. A go<dknowl
edge of saving, making, and applying barn
yard manure to the soil. 3. A knowledge
of the adaptation of the soil to the produc
tion of grain, grass or vegetables.
When all tiiese concomitants appear in
harmonious combination, we may calculate
upon the agriculture of our country as in a
! progressive state, with almost unerringeer
! tainty.— Country Gentleman.
THE HOG AND HIS DISEASES.
! Mortifying as the fact may be to human
pride, it is nevertheless certain that in their
j internal organs and general structure, the
hog and bear most closely resemble man
i than any other animal. Most of their dis
i eases, us might he expected, closely resem
ble those of the human species, and require
! similar treatment.
The diseases of swine, though not very
numerous, are very dangerous, and soon run
their course. The diseases of this animal
have, from some cause, received much less
attention, and therefore the remedies are
more the result of experience than of sei
' ence.
Bleeding is a remedy for most of the dis
eases to which the hog is liable. Yet how
many of our farmers ever saw a pig bled for
medical purposes ?
One of the best places I can find lor bleed
ing a hog is in the roof of the mouth. I
have seen them bled from an artery inside
of the forearm, just above the knee. My
objection to the latter is that I have always
found it more difficult to stop the How of
blood in the artery than from the roof of the
mouth. My usual method is to apply a cloth
well saturated with cold water.
One of the most dangerous diseases to
which swine are liable, is one which I have
always heard termed Blind Stayyers. The
lirst symptom is a manifest uneasiness on
the part of the pig ; he will lay down for
a minute or so and then get up ; walk about
lbr a short time and then lay down again.
This will sometimes continue for eighteen
or twenty hours. 1 know of but one in
stance where it lasted more than twenty
four hours. After a short time the disease
becomes more violent, the animal re us on
its hind legs, foams at the mouth, grinds ,
its teeth, and is to all appearances blind.
Bleeding, if resorted to early in the dis
eusc, followed up with a light dose ofcas-i
tor oil or cpsom salts, will give relief.
Another disease, which is often fatal, is
the Kidney Worm ; the first symptom is a
weakness of the loins and hind legs, and if
not cheeked, is followed by a general pros
tration of the whole body. As soon as the
first symptoms appear, copperas given at
the rate of a quarter or half a tablespoon
ful daily for one or two weeks will gener
ally effect a cure. Spirits of turpentine
rubbed on the loins is very good.
The /hli, (otherwise known as the
" mange," ) is another of the most common
of the diseases to which the hog s liable ;
it is not dangerous but a "mangy "hog
will never thrive. Soap suds, well :q>
plied with a good stiff scrubbing brush is a
remedy ; a running stream to wallow in, or
plenty of clean wheat straw, will effect a
cure in a short time.
For coughs and iutlamuation of the lungs,
bleeding should be resorted to, followed
with light doses of some purgative medi
cine, and one, or half (according to size)
drachm of nitre.
.1 yood warm bed, irdh plenty of straw, is a
prerciitatire for ad the disease.< to whiidt a piy
i.s liable.
i have always found it economical to
provide my pigs with a patch of clover to
roam during the summer ; if there is a run
ning stream in it, si much the better ; but
because you provide the pasture do not
stint them on their feed. 1 think it is a
great mistake to starve a pig through the
summer, and then cram corn in him for two
or two and a half months in the fall. 1 be
lieve "it pays" to fatten a pig gradually.
I have always been in the way of feeding
my corn ground : I have two hogsheads
which are tilled alternately with meal, slop
from the kitchen, and water. One of the
tubs is filled and allowed to sour, while the
other i.s being fed. This souring is a more
particular {mint than some imagine. When
viewed in a chemical light it has five stages
—-Ist, the saeehariin', by which the gum of
the vegetables is converted into sugar ; 2d.
the rinoas, which changes the sugar into
alcohol ; 3d, the mueituyous , which some
times takes the {dace of the vinous and
changes it into a slimy, mucilaginous pro
duct : 4th, the oeetje, which changes the al
cohol into vinegar ; sth, the petrefaetire,
which destroys all the nutritive principles
and changes it into a poison.
The precise point of fermentation at
which the food becomes most profitable, 1
have been able to ascertain practically ; but
speaking theoretically, I should say that it
ws between the rinoas and the putrefar
-11 re.—Grrmontoirn 71 -leyray >h.
Tuk Old Countries.—Crowded as England
is with a hungry population, five per cent,
of her soil is not under cultivation. Yet
the proportion of cultivated to uncultivated
land is larger in England than in any other
country in Europe. In Russia, less than
one-fifth of the soil is under cultivation ; in
Sweden, less than one-seventh ; in Austria
and Holland, one-fifth ; in Switzerland, one
fourth : in France, fifty-fun- hundred. There
i.s really no need of emigration. In Eng
land, as appears by a Parlimentary Report,
there are sixteen millions of acres, wholly
unproductive, and might easily he made j
productive. The reason why these acres
are permitted to lie unimproved is, that as
soon as they are enclosed, and before they
can be reclaimed to produce a paying crop, :
they become subject to tithe and tax.—
Hence, only men of large capital dare un
dertake the tax, and they prefer to invest
their capital where the return is more spee
dy and more certain.
Crease for the Rarkits.—Some one in a
late issue recommends greasing trees with
old bacon rinds, or something of the kind,
at the same time pledging the said trees
immunity from the gnawing of rabbits. I
tried the stuff while in Ohio, and the trees
were lost. A neighbor here tried the same
and lost thousands. Writers should use
care when they recommend specifics. That
the rabbits did not gnaw one lot of trees or
another and that man's too, is no proof that
they will not gnaw such smeared trees. It
takes n vast amount of negative proof to
establish an affirmative, especially about
nostrums. 11. T. Vole.

over the old putty, say at the rate of two
