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.
