EXPERIMENTS WITH SALT AS A FERTIL
IZER.
EDS. GO. GENT. —Agreeably to your re
quest we send you an account of our ex
periments in the use of salt as a manure.
Our farm is situated geologically on the
upper measures of the Hamilton group of
shales, probably a trifle below where the
Tally limestone makes the dividing line be
tween the Hamilton group and the Genesee
Slate. The 'Fully limestone is not found in
place on our ridge, and Mr. Geddes sup
poses that the lime, at the time of its de
posit was absorbed in the clay state, and
in support of this theory is the fact that all
of the spring water is hard, and some of
the layers in our quarries are very hard,
and of a bright blue color.
Our soil is composed principally of this
rock, in a thoroughly disintegrated state,
mixed with a very little drift deposit, and
forms what is considered in this region a
clayey loam. The fields are well drained,
but not what is usually termed thorough ;
drained.
Our farming operations are governed
somewhat by the altitude of our situation, j
which we suppose to be about 1,650 feet
above tide—Pompey Hill, about two miles
and a half south of us being 1 feet.
Great portions of the farm, if indeed not
all of it, were once cultivated by the French
or Spanish from two hundred to three hun
dred years ago. Some portion of it was
cleared by the present race as early as
1795, and the last was cleared in 1835.
We first sowed salt as a manure in the
spring of 1861 ; mixed three bushels of
salt with one of plaster, and sowed of the
mixture three bushels to the acre. Sowed
it broadcast, from three to ten days after
the grain was sowed ; did not harrow or
roll afterwards.
A field of spring wheat of ten acres
yielded twenty bushels to the acre, while
a neighbor's field, merely across the road,
of equally as good soil, and as well culti
vated, did not produce over five bushels to
the acre. The ground was plowed and the
seed sown on the same day.
Another field of our own we partially
sowed in strips of one rod in width, sowing
and skipping alternate strips. The soil in
this field was in better condition than the
first field, it did not yield more than ten
bushels to the acre. The six or eight strips
that were salted were taller, heavier, lon
ger headed, better filled, plumper berry,
ripened earlier, and brighter straw. The
salted and uusalted portions were as easily
distinguished as the strips in a carpet, and
in binding the grain behind the cradle any
man could have told the difference blind
folded.
In 1862 we tried the mixture on barley,
peas, oats and winter wheat. The effect
on barley was astonishing. We left a strip
of land a rod in width across the field that
we did not cover. Here the barley was so
small and thin, and crinkled down, that the
machine could not cut what little there was;
while the whole field yielded over forty
bushels to the acre.
Another field on another part of the farm
was nearly as good, alth nigh in 1856 it ab
solutely refused to give us more than ten
bushels to the acre, and we stopped raising
it.
On the oats we had no opportunity of
testing it with any near us ; we salted the
whole field, and had the largest crop we
ever raised. On peas we had no opportun
ity to test it with others, had a large crop,
but the vines grew too long. On winter
wheat thought it did great good, but had
no chance for a decided test.
In 1863 we sowed two fields of barley ;
upon the side of one we left an acre uusal
ted, and the crop on this portion was not
half as great as on that portion to which
the salt was applied. The field was a
heavy sod ; the other field was the one on
which barley and peas were sown the year
previous ; had an excellent crop, but no
particular test.
In 1864 we covered two entire fields of
barley with salt and plaster ; the great
drouth did not seem to affect one field, the
first oue sown, but little ; but the other one
was greatly injured. We had heavier crops
than our nearest neighbors, but no better
than some within a mile of us.
We think that the increase in the value
of the straw more than pays the cost of
salt, as a manure, and its application.
SWEET BROTHERS.
GROWING PARSNIPS.
MESSRS. EDITORS —Having had some little
experience in raising parsnips, in a small
way, with very satisfactory results, both in
regard to growing and feeding them, and
having seen but very little in regard to
other's experience with this root in this
country, though often favorably mentioned
in the agricultural journals. I have thought
that a short chapter on their management
might not be without interest or benefit to
some of your readers.
I first commenced raising parsnips for
the table ; and, finding that 1 could raise
them with comparatively little trouble, I
soon began to raise them to sell in the
neighboring village markets. This led to
sowing them in drills, in the same way,and
at the same distance apart that carrots and
turnips are usually sown ; but with this
difference : they should be sown earlier ;
as soon as the ground is dry and warm,and
in a good condition for the seed to germi
nate, is probably the best time. I soon
found that I could raise parsnips as easily
and cheaply as any other kind of roots, for
the following reasons:
They have a broader leaf, and are more
easily distinguished from weeds when they
tirst come up, and at the first hoeing than
carrots ; and not being troubled by any in
sects, they grow and come forward much
faster than turnips and carrots, making less
trouble to tend them when small, while they
much sooner get the start of weeds. They
make a much more rank and vigorous
growth, and much sooner and more com
pletely cover the ground than carrots or
turnips ; thus requiring very little atten
tion after they have fairly got to growing
and the leaves cover the ground. The yield
lias averaged a good deal larger, often from
40 to 60 per cent, more than carrots or tnr
nips. I have nsuallv raised the large Dutch
to feed.
They keep well in the ground through
the winter, but will commence growing
very early in the spring ; hut then if gath
ered, they will wilt and dry up worse than
any other kind of. roots ; so that it is prob
ably best to dig but a few bushels at a
time to feed, until it is necessary to clear
the ground, as they will keep as well in the
ground if the} - do commence growing, as
they will out. If gathered in the fall, they
should be fed out fast, as other roots keep
much fresher and better.
Feeding. —] find that horses, cattle and
hogs are all fond of parsnips ; but 1 have
generally fed them to cows and hogs.—
\\ hen feeding them to cows, we find that
we get as much milk and butter as when
we feed cttruu ; hut though sweet and
g-xid flavor, the butter will i„, t be quite so
good color. There is no kind of roots that
will make as handsome butter iu the win
ter m carrots. To feed raw to hogs, I find
parsnips give better satisfaction than any j
other kind of roots ; while by weight, I
find they give about as good satisfaction |
as potatoes. They are lighter than pota
toes, so it takes more by measure to pro
duce the same results ; but being much
more tender, and i better shape to get hold ,
of, my shoats—l have otdy fed them to !
shoats that I was wintering—eat them !
much more readily than potatoes. And I J
find to feed raw to store hogs, that neither I
mangolds, beets, turnips nor potatoes are
as readily eaten, or give as good satisfac
tion as parsnips. F.
BUTTER MAKING.
A of " The Circular," who |
had charge of the Butter Dairy of the On- ■
eida Community, says :
With the aid of investigations and ex- !
periments. I finally developed a plan of
butter making which produced very satis- i
factory results, and which I am satisfied is !
adapted to the production of excellent but
ter at all seasons of the year.
NECESSARY CONDITIONS. —NearIy all au- j
thorities on Butter making agree, that ev
ery thing used in and about the daily should
be kept clean, free from taint of every des- j
cription ; that the milk should be kept at |
a temperature ranging from 55 to 60 de- j
grees ; that the milk should be frequently i
examined, in order that the cream may be ;
removed at the proper time (if the cream i
remains on the milk too long it loses its j
best flavor); that the time which milk :
should stand before skimming depends up
many causes, such as the season, state of
the atmosphere, feed of the cows, Ac. ; that
after the cream is removed from the milk, ]
it may be kept before churning a short
time in nearly the same temperature as the
milk of the dairy ; that if occasionally
stirred the churning process will be facili
tated.
CHURNING AND PACKING. —Have the cream
about 60 degrees when churned—better in
summer at 56 deg.—as soon as the butter
comes wash it in several waters (in ice
water in summer), i. e., until the butter
milk is all out, and the water in which the
butter is placed is perfectly clear. Then
salt it (1 oz. to the lb.) and work the salt
in evenly with a ladle or butter-worker.—
Great pains must be taken to work the salt
into the butter evenly, otherwise it will
look streaked and its taste will vary. Then
pack down immediately, and cover with
brine. This method of packing butter
more effectually excludes the atmosphere
from the butter than any other plan I have
seen ; and this appears to me an essential
point in the art of butter-preserving. I j
think it will be found much easier to make j
good butter than to keep it good.
WORKING BITTER. —I judge that more but- j
ter is injured in the process of " working "
as it is termed, than by any other means.
It is rightly assumed that the buttermilk ,
must lie entirely separated from the butter; j
but this may be effected in various ways. >
If performed with the ladle or roller the
grains or globules of the butter are very 1
likely to be seriously injured, rendering the j
butter as a whole salvy or oily, and great- |
ly damaging the flavor. Besides this meth- j
od of freeing the butter from the butter
milk often takes away the brine as well as j
milk, leaving the butter too fresh. Then
more salt is added, which will remain in
the butter, partly held in solution, and
partly not, unless the already over-worked
butter is put through the rolling and ladle
ing process again. Hence rny conclusion
that the better way is to have the butter
come hard, and with little buttermilk
(which can always be done if one has the
right sort of churn, and a supply of ice,) |
and wash out the buttermilk with cold wa- !
ter (the colder the-better,) and afterwards
work the butter only sufficiently to have
the salt evenly distributed through it.
Miscellaneous Remarks. —There may be
methods of butter-making and preserving,
superior to that indicated above; and
therefore I rejoice in the present discus
'sionofthe subject. I have, for instance,
heard it objected, that the washing of but
ter takes away some of its sweetness and
virtue. lam not prepared to deny this as
sertion. But I aru certain that very good
butter may be made and preserved for a
long period by the plan described above.
Butter, I am satisfied, is also often in
jured by remaining too long a time after it
is churned, before it is packed in tub or
jar. It should be packed as soon as may
be after the buttermilk is separated from it
and it is properly salted. Never wait to
put it through a second and third working.
The butter sent to market from small
j dairies is not generally so good as from
! large ones—partly owing perhaps to the
| fact that the former cannot fill a tub at one
j packing, and the butter in the partly-filled
tub is not properly excluded from the air
Iby a covering of salt or brine. This re
| mark is of course more particularly appli
! cable to butter-making during the summer
months I think the butter of small dai
ries would in many cases be improved by
the use of smaller sized tubs or firkins.
It must not be forgotten in our philoso
phising on this subject, that the quality of
! feed has much influence upon the quality
of butter produced. The grass ami other
products of the soil are more nourishing,
:ind better adapted to the production of
i rich, sweet milk, in some portions of the
j country than in others.
CI.EANING BOOTS BEFORE FEEDING. -Boots
are usually fed to horned cattle without
cleaning, and although we cannot now
i point directly to any case of disease as the
! result of such feeding, yet it must be evi
, dent that the dirt consumed is of no bene
! lit, but on the contrary is more or less in
jurious. We would always prefer that the
roots be cleaned before feeding, and this
j can be easily affected by a root cleaner,
which any farmer can construct in a few
hours. The most simple device for this
I purpose is an octagon box revolving on
j gudgeons and turned with a crank, similar
; to machines for cleaning castings used at
the foundries. It may be made to hold two
I or three bushels, and is constructed by tak-
I ing two pieces of plank for the ends, and
i sawing them into octagons two feet four
inches in diameter. On these sides strips
of boards, two and a half feet long and
ten inches wide, are nailed, leaving a space
or opening at the corners, of an inch or so
wide, for the dirt to drop out. One of the
sides is on hinges, and is used as a place
for introducing the roots. It is then hung
upon gudgeons, on one of which is fitted a
I crank. Two bushels of roots may be
| thrown in at a time when they are cleansed
Iby slowly revolving the box, a few turns
being sufficient to wear off the dirt, leaving
j the roots clean as if they had been wash
j ed. It is a simple affair, which any farmer
can make in a few hours, and to those who
| grow roots for stock feeding, will save
j many days of disugreeable work, while the
i health of stock must be promoted by its
| use.— Utica Herald.
BAKBD BEANS WITHOUT PORK. —Excellent
in taste, easily digested, good for dyspep
tics, free lront swinish flavors. Soak a
quart of beans in water over night ; draw
the water away ; boil in clean water until
soft ; put in a baking dish with a lump of
butter the Bize of an egg ; salt and pepper,
and hake as usual.— Middlebury Register.
