CULTIVATE A TASTE FOR HOEING.
The Genesee Farmer for June argues that
there are no weeds which the hoe will not
kill, and no department of rural taste more
worthy of cultivation than a fondness for
the use of this important implement:
It is a great point gained when one be
comes thoroughly convinced that weeds
can be killed. It seems strange that any
<>ne should doubt it, and yet there is a la
tent conviction in the minds of many, that
they spring up spontaneously out of the
soil, and that it is vain to hope to destroy
them. Last spring when, as the phrase is,
I commenced to " make my garden," Dutch
George, who had been on the place for sev
eral years, asked me:
" Do you expect to raise anything here?"
"Certainly," I said, " why not?"
" Why, because the weeds will smother
everything. We've tried it."
'• But I will kill them."
" You can't do it. We've tried."
"I will sow and plant everything in rows
and hoe thoroughly, and we will sec if the
weeds cannot be kept down."
He laughed outright. Till then lie evi
dently thought that 1 intended to kill them
in some new way, and he was much amused
at my verdancy in thinking that they could
be killed with the hoe.
" You can't do it," he said, " we've tried.
The more you hoe the more they grow."
Well, I confess, that I had a tough job.
The weeds came up by the million, but 1 set
the Dutch women to work, and kept them
hoeing as long as the weeds showed them
selves. The dry weather was favorable,
and every hoeing told immensely. By fall
not a sign of a weed was to be seen. 1 then
plowed it, and this spring it was as mellow
and clean as could be desired. True there
are some weeds this spring, but all who
saw the land last spring, admit that the
hoe has triumphed gloriously. On the other
side of the house there was a piece of land
which I offered my foreman for a garden.
It was beautifully located, and nice warm
soil, but he refused to take it, because it
was so full of weed seeds that nothing
could grow ! I planted it to beans and
hoed them thoroughly. Had a good crop,
and this spring the laud is as clean as any
lam acquainted with. Were I a poet I
would sing the praises of the hoe. 1 like
to have it as sharp as a razor. I file mine
every time it becomes a little dull. It is
astonishing how much easier it cuts oil* the
weeds. It is a pleasure to use a sharp hoe,
and farmers should see to it that their sons
—to say nothing of the other sex—have
good sharp hoes. Create in them a taste
for hoeing, and killing weeds. It will do
as much as any one thing to make good
farmers of them. Another thing : Let the
handle he made smooth with sand-paper,
and then oil it. Linseed oil is the best, but
any king of oil or grease will do better than
nothing.
DRAINING- AIR FOR ROOTS OF PLANTS.
An experienced drainer asked permission
of a neighbor to allow him to cut a drain
through a piece of bottom land, through
which only he had an outlet for his surplus
water. The neighbor refused on the ground
that if the water were taken away from his
meadow land it would burn up in the heats
of summer. It ended in the other buying
the land and draining, and the result of his
first year's cropping paid for land and draiu
ing.
This idea as to land sufferiug in the way
suggested, is not, perhaps, an uncommon
one, and it is well to have it understood
how draining really works in this respect,
and that well drained grounds are really
better supplied with available moisture in
the dryest weather than those which are
undrained.
Soils have in various degrees the power
of retaining water. Sands have the least
power itt this respect. A compact loam
holds twice as much as sand ; a stift' clay,
three times as much If a soil is supplied
with water beyond its power of retention,
as in long continued rains, the excess flows
off, if no obstruction exists. It is left sat
urated to the extent of its capacity. When
this excess has passed away, it is in its
proper, sound condition, not wet, solid un
der foot, and not liable to be poached by the
treading of cattle.
During the time that the soil is full of
water, as after a long rain, the air is press
ed out, and then, as fast as the excess of
water flows out, fresh air flows in, and fills
its place. All the intervening spaces be
tween the particles of earth give circula
tion to fresh air. And this makes the diff
erence between drained and undrained land.
If undrained the excess of water remains
and becomes stagnant, and poisonous to
many plants ; if drained, sweet, fresh air,
as necessary to cultivated plants as to man,
takes its place. But this air always con
tain more or less watery vapor, averaging
perhaps one per cent., but capable of hold
ing more, the more it is heated, so that it is
more charged with vapor in the hottest
drouth than in cooler weather. When it is
suddenly cooled it gives up a portion of its
water to any other object it comes in eon
tact with. This we see illustrated very fa
miliarly on the outside of a glass or pitcher
of cold water in hot weather. # The heated
ait from outside comes in, charged with va
por, and striking the cold surface, is sud
denly cooled, and deposits a portion of its
water which accumulates there in great
drops of sweat. The same process takes
place in the soil if the air be allowed to
pass freely into it. The hotter it is the
more moisture it contains; when this vapor
comes into contact with the cool soil below
the surface, it is condensed and deposited
there. That this deposit is sufficient to
make a very material difference in the
qmiut'tv, is attested by all who see the re
sults of their lubors in drained and well
plowed land during our summer drouths.
Their capacity for resisting the influence of
dry weather is proportioned to the freedom
with which the air is allowed access to the
subsoil.— Haiti more Sun.
Hex Mam he. — 1 will give you the meth
od which 1 have practiced for the last few
years. Juke one bushel of hen manure,one
bushel of ashes, one-fonrth of a bushel of
plaster, mix it thoroughly together, and ap
ply one-third of a handful to each hill. It
is v< ry essential that the manure should be
thoroughly pulverized, and for this purpose
1 usually place it ou the burn floor and let
it dry, if it is not already so Place a thin
layer on a portion of the floor, take a com
mon flail and commence to thresh it until
very fine ; push this one side, take another
flouring, and proceed as before until you
have finished. 1 have tried several meth
ods to crush the many lumps that are in the
manure, but have found this the quickest
and easiest. My practice has been to ap
ply this to the young corn as soon as it
shows itself above the ground, which gives
it-a vigorous start.

OHEESE MAXIM FROM A FEW OOWB.
It is probable that the great majority of
the readers of tlic Agriculturist keep less
than half a dozen good milch cows, —enough
for good cheese-making. "A Farmer's
Wife," of Guernsey Co., Ohio, sends us the
following account of her simple method,
which we commend to our readers :
" Cheese making is more profitable than
butter making in the hot summer months,
for those who have not a good place to set
milk or cream. We seldom keep more than
four cows ; and from that number we make
a cheese daily, weighing from 8 to 10 lbs.
The morning's milk is strained into a ket
tle with the night's milk, and warmed.—
Then, after having the rennet soaked a day
or week previous, pour in as much as will
curdle it in 15 or 20 minutes, but no soon
er, as too much makes the cheese dry, and
apt to crack. A little experience here,
however, is all that is necessary, as it!
would be impossible to tell the exact am-1
ount of rennet to the quantity of milk, i
owing to the great difference in the quality i
of rennet. Stir it together, and, when cur- j
died, let it stand five or ten minutes. Then
cut the curd in slices with a knife, about
one inch thick, and cut crosswise in the
same manner
l'lace the kettle again on the fire-; put
the hand in down to the bottom, stirring it
gently, so as that the whole shall be heated
evenly, considerably more than milk warm.
This will separate the whey from the curd.
Remove the kettle from the fire, and let it
stand a minute. Dip, or pour off the whey
ou the top, and pour the curd into a large
butter-bowl. Salt to suit the taste. Then
cut fine witli a knife, and put it in a crock,
and set it in a cool place. If you have not
such a place, put in salt enough for the
next curd, which will prese-ve it until the
next morning. Then make another curd in
the same way, and mix well together, and
put to press. I prefer this method, for two
reasons. First, while making cheese, the
family can be provided with milk and but
ter. Secondly, the cheese needs some at
tention after putting to press, which can
better be attended to in the morning.
I use the lever press in preference to the
screw, because the weight is constantly
pressing, whereas the screw presses stron
gest at first. The weight should he light
at first and gradually increased ; and, if
desirable, the cheese may be taken out the
same evening and turned, after washing
the clotli (which should be of linen), and
put back to press until morning, when it
may be taken out and rubbed well with
butter, and placed on an airy shelf and
turned and rubbed daily. I prefer letting
it remain until morning before turning, as
the cloth will then come off readily, leaving
the cheese perfectly smooth. • It should
then be put back to remain until next mor
ning. Cheese made after the above direc
tions, and pressed in this way, will seldom
crack, or be injured by the cheese-fly; but
if any should crack, rub them well with
flour.
" Cheese, but little inferior to the best
quality, may be made from the milk of two
or three cows, by straining the night's milk
altogether into a vessel sufficiently large
to hold it, as but little cream will rise when
a large quantity of milk is contained in a
deep vessel. Whatever does arise should
be removed, as it will run off in the whey.
Add the morning's milk, and proceed as
above. A very simple, but rude press may
be constructed by any farmer's wife in five
minutes, which will subserve a good pur
pose. Place the cheese on a broad board,
a little inclined, and use a fence rail for a
lever, placing one end under a building, or
any other structure of sufficient weight,and
on the other end lean a couple of rails, or
hang a pail of stones. Cheese should be
pressed only hard enough to remove the
whey. A little practice will make perfect.
While pressing, the cheese should always
be kept shaded from the sun. I think we
are inexcusable if we have not our tables
bountifully supplied with this most whole
some, palatable, and nutritious article of
food."— Agriculturist.
PURE BUTTER-
The fresh sweet pastures of June, furnish
ing that abundance of succulent feed which
new milch cows need to give rich milk in
abundance, makes this month pre-eminent
ly the butter month. We present herewith
the views of a good butter maker expressed
in a communication by "H. A. H.," which
has lain for some time on our table :
" I am very particular about thoroughly
scaldiug and sunning my pans in hot Weath
er ; do not fill them more than half fu\l,and
skim after the milk thickens sufficiently so
that the cream will come off smooth with
out taking any milk with it, which, I think,
is apt to make curdles in the butter, and
that injures the looks of it. Churning
should be done every day, if sufficient cream
be obtained. If not, the cream in the pot
should be thoroughly stirred whenever any
is added, and I add a little salt, which cer
tainly is not a bad idea. I design, when I
churn, to have the cream the right temper
ature, neither too warm nor too cold, so as
to avoid putting in any warm or cold wa
ter, and as soon as it is gathered I take it
out and wash it in cold water until it is
thoroughly freed from buttermilk ; salt it
to iny taste, and set it in a cool place until
the next morning, when I work it over
again until it presents a firm and uniform
appearance. Last summer I worked my
butter three times before packing. At the
last working I add a small quantity more
of salt. After packing it smoothly I sprin
kle a tablespoouful of loaf sugar and a lit
tle salt over the top between every layer,
and apply on the top of that a cloth pressed
down closely to keep the air from it during
the time that must intervene before the
packing of the next layer. After the jar or
firkin is well filled, 1 put the cloth on the
top and apply another thicker one, and fill
tip with salt packed tightly, and evenly
with the top of the jar; then lay on another
cloth to fit the top. I also put another one
over the jar and have it come over the
edge and paste it tight to the jar, then put
qn a board and weight. Or another way :
Instead of putting in salt I take melted but
ter and turn in on the thin clotli even full,
and lastly, apply salt sprinkled over the
top before putting on the last cloth and
weight. Then again, I have hud butter
keep well after packing thoroughly as I
have stated, to fill up the top of the jar
with strong brine, which should stand two
inches deep on the top without being filled
up with butter, and it is necessary to put a
little saltpetre in the brine. Any one,
whether he has a very good place to keep
butter or not, if he attend to the strict ob
servance i>f these rules, can have good but
ter and keep it for mouths, and that through
the hottest weather.'— American Agricul
