PURE WATER- HEALTH OP STOCK.
Our correspondent, "N. 5.T.," Essex Co.,
Mass., in the following communication, di
rects the attention of the readers of the
Agriculturist to an important subject. Foul
water is the fruitful source of unthrift and
disease in animals, besides, it is almost con
stantly operating, and in time, will produce
effects not perceptible at first.
" That farmer who has provided for his
barnyard a never-failing supply of good
water, and an arrangement by which it is
brought into the troughs or tubs without
pumping or drawing, has a convenience,
the value of which is not likely to be over
estimated ; but it is a matter of no small
importance that it be given to the stock
fresh and pure. Because animals drink
from a filthy trough or a muddy and stag
nant pool with apparent relish, it does not
follow that their sense of taste is of a low
order and cannot appreciate good feeding.
Necessity too often compels them to drink
anywhere, and whatever they can find.—
Long continued habits deadens or perverts
the taste. But animals with unvitiated
taste left free to choose for themselves,will
find the purest water as quickly as the
sweetest grass ; especially is this true of
the horse. Some are naturally very fasti
dious about both food and drink, and they
often suffer from thirst rather than drink
from a vessel or at a well they dislike.- -
Some men entrusted to the care of stock,
seeing a horse tasting and sipping or play
ing, as they imagine, say he is not dry, or
is whimsical, and bring him back to his
stall, there to remain till thirst compels him
to drink. Thus a real cruelty is ignorantly
practised against a dumb beast,when a few
moments' attention would discover and re
move the trouble. Fresh, pure water means
more than simply water free from sticks,
dirt, or substances which are readily de
tected by the eye. Water exposed in shal
low vessels to the atmosphere during warm
weather, quickly loses its fresh and sweet
taste. Should it remain in a stable twenty
four hours, it becomes undrinkable from
having absorbed the impurities of the air.
Ammonia, carbonic acid, and all the "gases
escaping in the stable are absorbed rapidly
and in large quantities by water. During
hot weather these gases are always largely
present, even in well-regulated barns, and
a tub of water exposed to the air in the
stable, yard, or cellar, soon becomes charg
ed with them, and is unfit for any animal to
drink. Besides being of a disagreeable
taste, it becomes slightly aperient.
" A cover that fits closely to the trough
or tub is of some service in keeping out
dust and dirt, and preventing contact with
impure air, but it is impossible to keep wa
ter in shallow vessels about a barnyard
and have it absolutely pure. The safest
plan of ensuring purity is to draw from the
fountain head as often as wanted and when
the animals have drank, throw the remain
der away. It is a common practice in sum
mer to keep water in the trough to prevent
its drying and falling to pieces. The more
shallow a trough is made the less liable it
is to dry up ; but it is better to lose one oc
casionally than ahvay give impure water
to the stock. Scrupulous cleanliness in the
care of all the arrangements for furnishing
water commends itself to every thinking
man who is the owner and lover of animals,
in proportion as the ill effects of neglecting
tham are understood."'— American Agricul
turist.
THE ART OF SHEARING SHEEP.
It is essential to good shearing to cut the
wool hut once, to shear smoothly and verv
close, to keep the fleeces whole, and to
avoid cutting the sheep. When a shearer
does not shear smootljy, but cuts a portion
of the wool two or three times, there is not
only a loss in the weight of the fleece, or if
the clippings he included in the fleece, a
h>ss in its value to the manufacturer, hut
much time is consumed in making the sheep
louk smooth. \\ hen the fleeces are torn to
pieces by unskillful handling or the flound
ering of the sheep, it is impossible to do
them up neatly and show the wool to ad
vantage. The chief difficulty in shearing
sheep arises front their struggling. To pre
vent this, some tie their legs ; hut this prac
tice is quite objectionable, and no good
shearer will adopt it. Sheep will kick and
flounder hut little it they he managed gent
ly and carefully. Every shearer should
have a mattress of straw, at least live feet
square, aud so thick that his knees will not
feel the floor while shearing a sheep. The
object ot the mattress is also to make it
easier for the sheep. Laid on a hard floor
sheep will make desperate efforts to gain
their natural position, and it jammed down
violently on the floor, or boxed, or held un
comfortably beneath the knees, as thev oft
en are by unskillful shearers, instead of
keeping quiet they flounder and kick worse
and worse. Flaced on a mattress, their
position is comparatively easy: and it hand
led gently, the fleeces will be torn hut lit
tle. The sheep pen should he well littered
with straw to prevent carrying much dirt
on the shearing floor ; aud* sheep always
shear better it they are full and round than
when empty. Even expert shearers are
very liable to cut the skin of poor thin
sheep. No man can shear a sheep well un
less lie have good shears and keep them in
good cutting order.
SHADING AND MULCHING.
luour climate, the gardener lias not cnlv
t" contend with the severity of winter, but
with the intense heat of summer, and is
obliged to protect his plants against the in
jurious effects of both extremes. Recently
set plants often require shading,as do some
established ones, and many seedlings. Not
■ •lily does the foliage suffer from the effects
•I the heat, but the roots are also deprived
of their proper moisture by the drying out
of the surface soil to an extent that renders
it necessary to protect them by some sort
of covering placed upon the earth over the
roots an operation which is called mulch
i<j. 1 hose things are so obvious, and the
methods of shading and mulching so sim
ple, that those who have had only little ex
perienee in cultivating do not need to be
told of their necessity, nor how to do them.
It is not for such thatthis article is written,
but for the hundreds who will try their hand
at gardening for thetirst time in their lives.
Indeed,we have seen in the garden of those
who make some pretensions to skill, plants
languishing after removal, which a news
paper shade would have made happy, and
trees and shrubs struggling to survive the
month of August, which a few forkfuls of
otherwise useless rubbish would have won
derfully helped Some plants stand remov
al without injury, while others have to be
handled with great care, and to be nursed
tor some time after the operation to enable
tin in to survive it. One of the commonest
ways of shading small plants in the gar
den, is to turn empty llower pots over them.
A large leaf, or a handful of recently cut
grass, aie frequently used, but these soon
wilt and fall down upon the plant, and are
not as efficient nor much more readily ols
tainable than paper. Old newspapers torn
into pieces of convenient size, arched over
the plant, and the edges held in place by ;
covering them with earth, make very effi
cient shades Shingles are very handy for
the purpose, and plants in rows may be
sheltered bv means of boards. If the plant
is quite large, it may be protected by a
sort of extempore umbrella of paper. Take
a stick of convenient length, and a suffic
iently large piece of newspaper ; place the
centre of the paper over the end of the
stick, and tie it down, an inch or two over
the end of the stick, the paper capping the
eud of the stick in the same manner that a
paper or leather cap is put over the cork of
a bottle by an apothecary. This secures
the paper to the stick, and leaves a broad,
free margin, which may be spread out all
around like an umbrella, or sun-shade, and
the folds, or gathers, made by tying in this
way, will give it stiffness to retain its pos
ition. The operation is a very simple one,
though not so easy to describe without an
illustration. The sun-shade thus prepared,
is fixed where it is needed, by thnsting the
lower end of the handle into the ground.—
Potted plants from the house, or green
house, especially the broad-leaved ever
greens, like Camellias, must be placed
where they will be shaded during the heat
of the day. If no proper place is available,
a lath work must be built to cover them.
This is made of strips of slats, one or two
inches wide, with spaces between them as
wide as the slats. Plants placed under this
are not exposed to the full heat of the sun,
yet have plenty of light and air. Similar
screens are useful to protect plants which
grow naturally in shady woods, or other
cool localities, and to cover seed beds of
evergreen and other trees. Many of the
trees which are hardiest when old, cannot
be raised from the seed unless the young
plants are sheltered, and much of the fail
ure in raising tree seedlings comes from a
neglect of this. Twigs of evergreens, or
even of deciduous trees, with the leaves
on, if stuck quite thickly over the seed-bed,
will give the young trees the needed shad
ing. The other method of protection,mulch
ing, is still more simple. It consists mere
ly in covering the soil over the roots, and
may be done with litter of any kind. Pain
aged hay, straw, bog or salt hay, chips,
sawdust, tan, freshly cut grass, or any sim
ilar thing will answer. In mulching straw
berry plants, straw is generally employed,
but corn stalks laid lengthwise of the rows
will serve a very good purpose. Those who
have never tried it have no idea of the
great benefit of some such simple protect
ion not only to newly set trees and other
plants, but to those which sutler from
drouth. One of the best pear-growers near
this city, attributes much of his success to
the thorough mulching of his trees. The
mulch will do but little good if put in a
little heap around the trunk of the tree —
as people often do, and then say that the
mulching is of no use. It should bespread
with a liberal hand over, and even beyond,
the space occupied by the roots. — American
Agriculturist.
THE CURRANT WORM-SAVE THE BUSHES.
For several'years past the currant hush
es have been nearly destroyed by numerous
small worms which divest them of their
foliage. As the eggs from which these
worms spring are deposited on the under
side of the leaves, the first indication of
their ravages will be observed by many
small holes eaten through, and the minute
worms may he seen making the holes larg
er.
The writer has been accustomed tosprink
j h powdered white hellebore on the bushes,
i which is an infallible remedy, as it destroys
j the worms in a few minutes, aud will not
j injure the currant bushes in the least.--
White hellebore can lie obtained at most
: drug stores, in a powdered state, at a few
i cents per ounce. To sprinkle it on bushes,
| put about two tablespooufuls into a pepper
' or flour box, and sprinkle it lightly all over
; the outside leaves. Then turn up the bush
es and scatter a small quantity in the mid
; die of them. Let it be spread as thinly as
practicable, as a quantity so small that it
j can not be perceived with the naked eye,
will check the ravages. In the spring of
1864 our gooseberry bushes were stripped
of every leaf, aud all the branches were
literally covered with full-sized worms. We
sprinkled them lightly with white helle
bore ; and in less than two hours every
worm fell to the ground dead. Great care
must be exercised in handling the hellebore,
as a small quantity will produce violent
| sneezing.
MANURING CORN AFTER IT IS UP-
Circumstances sometimes render it im
possible to thoroughly prepare corn ground
before planting, aud it is advantageous to
manure it after it is up. This must be done
at the time of the first hoeing. Along the
seaboard where the Moss-bunkers
haden are taken in such great numbers,
they are much used. .V shallow furrow is
made with a small plow, on each side of
every row, a few inches from the hills,turn
ing the earth away from the row ; then one
fish is placed in the furrow on each side of
every hill. .Should the furrows be too glial
; low in some places, the earth is worked out
a little with the foot or hand-hoe, so that
the fish may In- placed below the surface of
the soil. 1 lieu the earth is turned toward
the hills, and the corn hoed. If the fish
should be displaced,the workmen bury them
again close to the hill. By the time of the
second hoeing,they will be pretty thorough
;ly decomposed. Where there is not an ac
cess of water in the soil, this kind of ma
nure produces a very luxuriant and rapid
growth, as well as good yield. A similar
method is sometimes practiced with barn
yard manure, the earth being turned from
the rows as previously directed, a small
shovelful of manure is placed on each side
of every hill and covered. The manner of
distributing this kind of manure is, to drive
a loaded wagon astride of one row, so that
two hands can each apply the manure to
two or three rows on each side. When
turning a wagon around over the young
corn, it a wheel is liable to run directly on
a hill, place short pieces of j.lank or rails
on each side of it, which will lift the wagon
over without injuring thecorn. Lime. °-yp
euni, ashes, guano, hen manure, or anv'oth
er similar materials may often be very prof
itably applied, at the first hoeing. * They
should always be sprinkled over an area of
several inches in diameter, all around the
hill, and covered and mingled with the
earth in hoeing. Guano, or strong hen ma
nure. if applied in this manner, will never
work injury to the young plants, unless
they eouie in direct contact with tliem, or
inordinate quantity be used.
TIME TO TRIM APPLE TREES.—If the limbs
are small, they may be removed at any time,
but large wounds heal best in July. * The
plate uia\ be covered with grafting wax
melted and put on with a brush,or grafting
clay. there is no better wash lor the
trunks than soft soap, thinned with water
to work with a brush. Lime is objection
able.
A PRIVATE in the 6th lowa t avalrv, sta
tioned on the frontier of Pecotah," where
whiskey was not to be had, added the fol
lowing postcript to a letter to his wife in
Dubuque :—" Annie, dip yer letter in whis
key, so that I can get aschmell of the era v
tliur once more."
