PLASTER FOR GRASS AND OTHER CROPS. The following article is from the Utica Herald: Plaster may be sown on meadows and pastures during May. It should have been sown, however, in April, but where it has been neglected, good results will follow by spreading it upon the land now. \\ c sup pose in this enlightened age there are few farmers that object to the use of plaster as a top-dressing on grass lands. Occasion ally we find persons who do not like to use I it, and who are afraid that it exhausts the land, and will soon run out the farm. Such j persons do not read the agricultural pa-1 pers ; they don't believe that any good can 1 come out of printed matter, that touches ! upon farming. They are about forty years j behind the times, work hard, get small crops, and are eternally complaining of bad luck. If they keep a dairy, they usually belong to the class of 300 pounds dairy-! men ; not that their personal weight will j turn the scales at that enormous figure,but ! that the average annual yield of cheesej from their herds is about 300 pounds per cow. It is hard to convince these old-fash ioned gentlemen that cows can be made to produce annually 000 and 700 pounds, and when statements are made to that effect, they are viewed with an incredulous dis gust which says, "these are the stories of tin- agricultural papers and book farmers." Well, the tax gatherer is going to visit these old-fashioned farmers and present an argument that will be likely to be remem bered. A kind of waking up argument to produce more grass, more milk, and larger crops. When one finds an absolute neces sity staring him in the lace, he begins to look around for means to meet it ; and so, perhaps, our increased taxes will serve a good purpose after all, in making us better farmers —in teaching us the necessity of getting better returns, and pushing us for ward to devise ways and means to obtain these ends. Several years ag-o we remember hearing ' an old dairy farmer argue the planter ques tion in this wise. He had a good upland farm, and was somewhat noted for keeping a large stoek, and getting a heavy yield of cheese from his herd. He sowed plaster liberally on meadows and pastures, but was uot thoroughly convinced that this top-dressing was an important element in bis success. He was inclined to believe that he was wasting money and labor, and so for some years he abandoned the use of plaster on liis farm, but the result was very unsatisfactory. His herd dropped off in their product 100 pounds of cheese per cow. The meadows did not yield sufficient hay for wintering stock, and fodder had to be purchased. In fine, said he, 1 found I had been an old fool, and was glad to get back again in my old tracks. Now, perhaps, the same result could not be had on all farms, nor in all we have said do we wish to be understood that the fanner is to place bis whole reliance upon plaster, or that by its use lie can get along without other manures, for plaster properly is not a manure in the fullest sense of the word. It does not enrich the land, but in duces plants to better appropriate fertiliz ing material, and prevents the waste of matter that can be made available in the processes of vegetation. The action of plaster is not fully understood. It acts partly as a manure, feeding the plants with its sulphuric acid and lime, and partly as a stimulant, hasteni ig by its lime the decay of vegetable matter in the soil. Its con stituents are in 100 parts, as follows : YY ater, 21 ; lime, 33 ; sulphuric acid, -40. It attracts ammonia from the atmosphere, and retains it for the use of vegetation.— 'i his tact is jmt to a practical use by sonic observing farmers. YY'e remember hearing at a club meeting of farmers, one of the members remark that lie knew of a very shrewd operator in his neighborhood, who, when his neighbors chanced to be spread ing manure in fields adjoining his own, al ways commenced sowing plaster, and in this way was actually benefitted at his neighbor's expense. He said he had fre quently noted the effect of such sowings, and it was a convincing argument to him to use plaster immediately after top-dress ing iiis grass lands, since he did not care to he at the labor and expense of enriching his neighbor's fields, by allowing the bet ter portions of the manure to be evaporated and carried in the atmosphere for the use of somebody else. The effect of plaster on large leaved plants is more marked than on others, hence potatoes, corn, and vines, etc., are greatly benefitted by its use. Its influ ence on the clover is extremely favorable to the growth of that plant, and it is on this account, therefore, which renders it so valuable on dairy farms for the production of milk. In the application of plaster to grass lands there is a difference of opinion among farmers whether it should be ap plied annually, or every alternate season. Some follow one practice, and some the other. YY lien applied annually, of course a lighter coating can be used. The quantity per acre will depend on the land ; if a com siderable portion is already in the soil, a less quantity is needed, and the soil may contain so much as not to be effected by its use. It is applied with good results at the rate of a bushel per acre. Some use considerably more, and soon learn to adapt the quality to the particular location so as to produce the best returns. YY'e have al ways found the best results from plaster on grass lands when applied early in the sea son, so as to get all the benefit of the spring rains, or before grass starts in the spring. YY'hen used later it is always best to sow just before a rain. Some farmers say that its application late on pasture lands, and at a time when it is not lullowed by rains, but remains on the grass to be partly Consumed by stock, is injurious to milch oows. They claim that it induces a complaint known among dairy men as "fly in the teat," or a gradual sto]>- page of the milk passage of the teat, and of course destroying that portion of the bag. YY e have been accused by dairymen whose herds have been badly afflicted with this trouble, and we do claim to have giv en the matter special attention, 1 hat it was plainly traced to this cause. YY'e give the suggestion for what it is worth without in dorsing- it, but it would be well to be cau tious about sowing plaster at such times, since its consumption by stock can do no good, and may possibly be of injury in the way alluded to. REMEDY FOR CRACKEBIIOOFS.—Take a piece >f copper four inches long ano two inches wide, and drill eight holes, four in each end, so as not to interfere with the crack, and screw ii fust to the hoof, crosswise of the crack ; then take a Lot iron with a sharp edge, and burn the crack ut the eiige of the hair, till it goes through to the quick. After this let the horse run on pasture, and it will begin to heal up in a few weeks.— This remedy I have tried, and it did tlie work complete, and 1 worked the horse all tlie time. Fare should be taken to close the crack tight before the plate is fastened on So says a practical farmer of Pleasant Valley, 0. THEORY OF LAND DRAINAGE A plant, though spreading its roots to a certain distance all around it in the soil, is stationary, and must have its food brought to it. That is the first main fact on which the need depends for a current of water through the land. Water, a powerful sol vent, brings substances out of the air which the plants require as food, and these sub stances increase its power as a solvent of other matters in the soil which the plant also needs as food. Moreover, water brings from the air materials of use in the soil in manufacturing food for the use of plants. On all these grounds, then, it is of impor tance that water should go through the soil after going through the air. It becomes laden with vegetable food by passing through the air, and it becomes still more laden with vegetable food by passing through the soil, till, when traversing the soil, it passes stationary roots and enters them, and feeds the plants to which they belong. And there are special reasons why rain water should be induced to pass through the soil rather than lie stagnant on it. In the latter case it is not only useless to tlie plant, but it is directly mischievous. By evaporation it cools the surface, where as by percolation through the land it car ries the warmer temperature of the surface into the sub-soil ; and of what value this is to the growth of crops may be gathered from the experience of the last autumn, which has been so productive of growth in our pastures to so unusually late a season -—not so much from the increased temper ature of the air during November and I)c --| cember, which lias been only about 2 dog. or 8 dcg. above the average of the last 30 years, as from the increased temperature of the soil and subsoil at one and two feet deep, which has been 5 deg. and 0 deg. i above the average of the past 13 years, dur ing which observations have been made i near London. And not only is it of impor tance that rain, by passing through the land, should carry the temperature of the surface, warmed by the direct rays of the i sun, downwards, rather than, by evapora ting from the surface, it should carry the heat away and cool the soil ; but the per colation rather than the stagnation of the water is desirable, because in the one case ; air is made to permeate the land, in the | other it is excluded. The chemical chan ges which air produces on and in the soil are desirable, and result in the preparation ; of useful food for plants ; while by its ex clusion, substances of a poisonous nature, i pecially where iron and vegetable matter ; exist together in the soil, are formed.— Morton's Farmer's Calendar. FOOT ROT IN SHEEP. A correspondent of the Genesee Farmer, writes to know how to cure foot rot in sheep. John Johnson, to whom we sent the inquiry, kindly replies as follows: " Foot rot in sheep can be thoroughly cured by thorough paring of all the hoof from the diseased part, and applying a salve made of pulverized blue vitriol mixed with lard, butter, or any other grease. If hot weather a little tar added to the mix ture is an improvement. Those sheep that are diseased must be separated from the sound at the first dressing, but the souud must have salve applied to their feet, else some of them will become lame in a short time. The diseased ones should be dressed over again in a few days, say three or four, every foot being closely examined. See that no part of the hoof has been left cover ing the sore. The sound ones should be dressed over again in about a week from the first dressing, or sooner if any are seen lame. About three dressings in that way will generally efleet a cure, if the paring has been thorough. It requires thorough work to eradicate that disease, but I know from experience that it can be done in tin way I state. But if the land is wet where they pasture, or land that retains water on or near the surface for days after it rains, it is very difficult to keep the sheep sound in the feet." Mr. Johnston has had some experience in this matter, and we are glad to publish his method of curing- this disease. Those who do not preserve the Fanner, should keep this article for further reference. HILLING POTATOES. —.Y diversity of opin ion exists on this subject, but if cultivators would look at the results, they would doubtless become satisfied as to its pro priety and the best time to perform the work. Potatoes when planted, should not be buried so deep as to prevent tin young shoots from readily reaching the surface. Yet some depth is required in order that the y< utig tubers may form in the soil, and in>t on or very near the surface, when they become green and bitter by exposure to light. Plant, therefore, in rather deep fur rows, and cover moderately. In cultivat ing, the soil will work into these furrows and somewhat deepen the covering. The young tubers will form and grow without disturbance. If the earth is now hilled much, new and later tubers will form high er or above the first, producing too many, and irregular in size. The best way is to leave the soil nearly flat till the middle or latter part of summer, when the potatoes begin to assume considerable size, and to protrude towards the surface. Now is the time for hilling—which is, in effect, noth ing more than mnhhing the roots to protect them from light, and to prevent them from becoming green. YY'e recommend cultivators to try this treatment, the present being a proper time for the first part of the process, namely, the continuance of the Hat cultivation. ARTIFICIAL COMB FOR BEES.—A Swiss in vention lias been introduced into this coun try, to aid bees in the formation of the r comb. Narrow sheets of wax are imprin ted by machinery, so as exactly to repre sent the dividing wall of comb between the cells. These stripes are attached to the top of the empty hive, before the new swarm is put in, thus enabling the bees to go im mediately to work, and also in guiding them in making the sheets of comb in the proper direction. MANURE. —The American Agriculturist says : " Manure is like money. No fanner ever had too much of it who appreciates in what his wealth lies." And it may also be added that like money, the more a man has the easier it is to get more. HF.SS FATTM; EGOS.—Hens may be cured of eating their eggs, by blowing out the contents of an egg, and filling it with mus tard made into a paste. Make a hole in each end, blew the contents out, and when filled paste paper oven- the hole. One taste of the mustard effects a cure. IT is said that sugar beets cut into thin slices are excellent food for young calves, and that they eat them with avidity, re quiring less milk and keeping sleek and fat. SLEEP soothes and arrests the fever-pulse of tie soul, and Us grains are the quinine for the cold fit of hate, as well as for the hot fever of love. (£lotl)ing. V|~ E W FIR M !
