PLANTING BROOM OORN. We have received a series of articles 011 the cultivation of Broom corn, and making brooms, from Abram Stockes, an experi enced broom-maker, of Ulster Co., X. Y.; and we give his mode of preparing the soil and planting the seed. He says : " Select i a dry, rich, deep loam, nearly free from sand, gravel and stones, and plow it deep —the deeper the better. A red clover, or ! timothy sod is best; because it will usually be free from weeds. Pulverize the surface as deep as practicable with a cultivator ; or it may be plowed the second time, by using a plow with a sharp point, sharp, coulter, and guage wheel to regulate the depth. In this way it can be pulverized more tho-oughly than with a cultivator. Before plowing the second time, however, the ground should be allowed to settle after a heavy rain has fallen ; or the sods may be pressed down with a roller. Plow the second time the same way as the first, run ning the plow as deep as practicable, with- i out turning up portious of the sod. Har row it thoroughly ; and mark the ground ' one way with a small plow for planting in drills. It is better to have the rows run north and south, as the sun will shine on eacn side more uniformly. I prefer the tall Broom corn, as it has been well tested and approved. The dwarf may succeed as well 011 some kinds of soil, where it will not grow too slender,which is a fault of this kind of corn. If brush be too slender, the brooms bend too easily,and wear out too soon. When brush grows in the form of a pinicle of oats, it is worth less. Such brush, however, is seldom pro duced except on a thin soil of gravel, or sand, with a clayey subsoil six or eight in ches beneath the surface. My manner of planting the seed is, to carry it in a small pail, and drop about one hundred kernels per rod (or about two in ches apart). After dropping a few rows, cover it with a harrow having 30 or 40 teeth, by driving the team one on each side of the drill. If the harrow be not drawn the second time over the ground, it will not displace any of the seed. When planting in this manner, the seed comes up well, grows more uniformly, and makes better brdsh than if planted in hills, as the stalks are more evenly distributed over the ground. In about twelve days, the young plants will be about three inches high. Now is the time to get the start of weeds by working among it with a horse and plow. For this purpose, the rear end of the mold board should be broken off just back of the share to prevent rolling the earth too far away from the young plants. By turning the earth from the drills, the weeds will be subdued. In about ten days, it should be plowed again, going twice a row. Then the plants should be thinned so that there will be about seventy per lineal rod. All weeds growing among the plants should he removed, so as to allow the sun to shine on the Broom corn. In about ten days more, it should be plowed again with a large plow having a short, crooked mold board, going four times between all the rows.— Turn two furrows from the rows, and then turn them toward the plants, working the soil between the stems as much as practi cable with the plow. lit ten days longer, plow it again, going four times between the rows, as just stated, always turning the soil toward the corn the last time through. I always perform most of the work with the plow, and do as little with the hand-hoe as possible."— American Agri culturist. CULTIVATION OF BUCKWHEAT. When buckwheat is sowed in the spring, or first part of summer, the hot weather which occurs when it is in blossom, pre vents perfect fructification. Consequently there will be numerous clusters of kernels that will be blasted. For this reason the seed should be sowed, so that the hottest weather will have passed, by the time the buckwheat is in full bloom. Cool weather or at least cool nights are quite as essen tial to a good crop of buckwheat, as hot days and nights at e for Indian corn. The point to be aimed at in every locality is, to defer sowing as long as possible and allow it sufficient time to mature before an early frost will destroy the crop. This period oc curs at different times in different localities. In the latitude of Central and Western New York, the proper time for seeding is about the first of July. We have known buckwheat sowed as late as the lfith of July, which produced a bountiful crop ; but in that latitude there is a great risk on account of the frost, if it is not sowed by the 10th of July. Our most successful far mers in this latitude, calculate to have their buckwheat put in as soon as the fourth of July ; and in some seasons, even when sowed at that time, frost appears so early in the fall as to almost destroy the entire crop. In some localities it may be sowed the latter part of July, and escape frost. If the soil whefe it is sowed be well pul verized so that it will vegetate immediately, and if the grain is put in by the fourth of July or even by the tenth, a bountiful crop may be expected. When the ground is plowed but once for a crop of buckwheat where the soil is heavy, it is often so dry aud hard, and breaks up ia such large lumps and clods, that many farmers in waiting for rain to moisten the soil previ ous to plowing, are compelled to defer seeding until it is too late. But if the soil be plowed in the spring, it will not become dry and hard by the time it is to be plowed the second time, but will be moist aud mel low]; and the grain will vegetate soon. Every intelligent farmer who is located on a heavy soil, that is apt to plow up lumpy, understands the importance of plow ing it when it is just moist enough ty turn up mellow. Buckwheat can not be expec ted to vegetate in time, and flourish luxur iantly, and yield a remunerating crop when the soil is a mass of dry lumps.— Americrn Agriculturist. MANAGEMENT OF BARN-YARD MANURE. It is very often the case that manure is allowed to accumulate and remain undis turbed in the yard during the summer,after which it is hauled to the field and applied for winter grain. Treated thus, it rots but little, but if forked over, it would decay very rapidly. In some instances, corn I stalks, straw, and stable manure are mixed | together, by being spread evenly over the ! entire yard, and are pressed firmly together by the constant tread of animals. Mr. Isaac I'eck, an excellent farmer, of Fair field Co., Conn., recently related to us his j manner of preparing barn-yard manure for ! winter grain. His yard is constructed so that no liquids flow from it, except some times during very heavy rains, and this is j conducted upon a field, and not to the brook or river, llis corn stalks are fed out in the j yard, where the large huts become min- j gled with refuse straw and stable manure, j During days in summer when laborers can not work to advantage on the farm, they i commence on one side of the yard and fork the manure over, turning it clear to the ground. If there is too much straw orcorn stalks in one place, they are scattered over a large surface, so as to mix different kinds as thoroughly as possible. By forking it over in this manner, the coarse portions will be fined, and sufficiently decayed by autumn to make it possible to spread it evenly, and it will be in a far better condi tion to benefit wheat, or any other winter grain. Mr. Peck usually applies most of his barn-yard manure to his winter grain, and by this system he is able to raise good crops of wheat where the soil was formerly considered poorly adapted to that kind of grain. We do not commend our friend's way of treating corn stalks—that is, feed ing them out whole on the ground in the yard ; but thousands of very good farmers will do so, though they lose about half the value of the fodder. In regard to working over the manure in the yard, however, his practice is excellent. If he had muck at hand, and could put over a good layer ofit, or of sods, every time the manure was worked over, it would greatly increase the value of his manure crop. MANAGEMENT OERED CLOVER FOR SEED. When the chief object is to raise a crop of seed, whether the clover is grazed or mowed off, it ought always be done in the month of June, in our latitude, and pre vious to the full bloom. It is not practi cable to raise a good burden of hay and a crop of seed on the same ground in one season ; nor can one expect a full yield of seed if the clover be grazed too long. If the large, or late kind of red clover be al lowed to stand until it is in full bloom be fore it is cut, there will be only a small crop of seed. The most successful way of managing this kind of red clover is, to pas ture it until about the 15thor 20th of June; in New-England, or New York, never later that the 20th of the month. It has been our practice to feed it down close just be fore shutting the animals off altogether,and if there was more clover than they could graze off close to the ground in a few days, the remainder was mowed, and usually left where it grew. The object in mowing off all (he stalks that the stock leave, is to have all the clover start the second time as evenly as possible, grow uniformly, and all plants come to maturity at the same time, which is very essential. The seed 011 the portions of the field where the first growth has not been cut off, will come to maturity several weeks before the greater part of the crop is fit to cut. Consequently, most of it will shell off and be lost before the remainder can be secured. Many farm ers, in their first attempts to raise the seed of the large kind of red clover, obtain only a small crop,simply because the first growth was allowed to advance too far. In growing a crop of seed of the early, or small kind of red clover, the usual prac tice is to make hay of the first growth, though it is sometimes grazed off. Those who raise the largest crop of seed, cut the first time before it is in full bloom. They find this essential and aim to cut when about two-thirds of the heads are in blos som. The stalks aud leaves will be very green at this stage ; but every day it is allowed to stand after this, tends to dimin ish the quantity of seed of the succeeding crop. Consequently, when a farmer thinks best to allow the first crop of clover to come nearer maturity, for the purpose of having a greater burden of hay, he must remember that lie will lose more in the yield of seed than lie will gain in the quality and quantity of hay afforded by the first growth of the clover. It there be any weeds a mong clover, they should all be cut close to the ground, so that the clover will get the start of them and effectually suppress their growth. HALTER-BREAKING YOUNG 00LT8. Young colts, when their dams are used in a harness, are frequently troublesome about following, especially when traveling on the highway, where they are liable to meet other horses. It is common to see a young eolt run directly away from its dam, when on the road, and becoming bewilder ed, no little trouble is required to bring it back. To avoid all annoyance from this source, make a soft halter suitable for the colt's head, and hitch it to a strong fence, or some other place, where it can not run aroung a post and wind the rope up. It may pull for several hours, but will soon learn to stand. As soon as accustomed to the halter, the colt may be taught to lead, by placing the dam a few rods distant from where it is hitched, and leading it toward her. It will be impossible to lead a colt away from its dam, until it has become well accustomed to the halter. By spending a little time with a colt, treating it with the greatest gentleness, it may be taught to travel by the side of its dam, wherever she goes. Tie the colt's halter to the backhand of the dam's harness, so that it can just reach her under. This length of halter will pre vent the colt running forward of the mare when she is traveling. In a few days it will become so gentle, that any one can put on the halter and handle it. When colts are not accustomed to the halter until they are two or more years old, they are fre quently very difficult to manage. But if taught to lead when quite young, they can often be changed from one place to another with little difficulty, and will be much more manageable. GARGET IN COWS. —As this disease is some what common when cows are giving a large flow of milk in spring, 1 give my experi ence. Having a valuable cow two years since, which gave an unusual quantity of milk, I found one night at milking, one quarter of her udder had become very hard, and only yielded a small quantity of clot ted milk. The remedy I used was this, which I had seen in an agricultural paper, viz : 8 drops of tincture of aconite dropped on a piece of bread and mixed with her feed In the morning she was much better, but I gave 4 drops more, aud the night follow ing found her all right, with about her usual quantity of milk. Since then I have tried the same remedy in one or two in stances with equal success. P. M. AUGTK. ! WINTERING HOGS ON TURNIPS. —S. M.
