    HOW TO CULTIVATE HOED CROPS.
The aim should always be to dig or tear
up as much grass and weeds as possible,
and pulverize and stir all the soil between
the rows at least two or three inches deep.
In order to do this effectually, the teeth ot
the cultivator should he adjusted to run be
tween the rows in the narrowest places,
without disturbing the growing plants. The
handles of the cultivator should extend
back of it sufficiently far t • enable
the man holding it to see distinctly whether
the last tooth, as it passes the hills do not
cover or cut them up. Thus he may run
the implement so closely to every hill a
long one row, that very little labor will be
required with hand hoes. \\ hen he retirns
between the same rows, the cultivator
should be run as close as practicable to the
next row.
It is essential in using any kind of a cul
tivator, that the horse be well guided. If
lie go in the right place, it will be easy to
hold the cultivator so as to perform the
work well, but otherwise the work will be
done in such a manner, as to require much
hand hoeing. Where the ground is not
strong or lumpy, if a man be a good driver,
lie may run the rear teeth of a cultivator
so closely to the rows of Indian corn, sor
ghum, broom corn, beans, etc., that mellow
earth will be turned just up to the plants,
completely covering all small weeds and
grass. When cultivated in this manner,
unless there are many large weeds t'o cut
up. two hands will do the hoeing well, as
fast as one can run the cultivator. When
the implement goes jumping and skipping
along, while the horse is two or more feet
from the proper place, it will require four
or five faithful laborers to hoe as' fast as
•me man can cultivate. In order to do this
work well, the teeth should always be kept
sharp and bright, so that the earth will
slip from them freely. Whim the surface
of the teeth is covered with much rust,
they should be pqji-shed on the grindstone,
and oiled to prevent rusting, if to stand
idle for a day or two. This will save time
and labor.
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT SUMMER EALLOWS.
A few years ago, most farmers in our
wheat-growing regions, thought that in or
der to rise a good crop of winter wheat,the
ground must he well summer fallowed.
The ground was plowed usually about the
iirst of June, and then harrowed and plow
ed alternately until September. In some
instances, it was plowed six, but usually
three times ; and those who did so, fancied
that they received ample remuneration in
an increased amount of grain for every ad
ditional plowing But, when the ground
was broken up late in June, or the former
part of July, and plowed only twice, as a
small number of cultivators were accus
tomed to do, the work was pronounced as
"only half done and the difference be
tween the crops where the soil was plowed
live or six times and only twjee, would oft
en justify such a remark. Thus it will be
perceived, that the soil yielded only one
crop in two years, or as it was then term
ed, "two crops in three years," as oats, or
Indian corn, followed by wheat, and then
a summer fallow, or grass. In some in
stances, three crops of winter \\heat were
raised in succession. As only a limited
quantity of manure of a very inferior qual
ity was made, summer fallowing seemed to
be essential to the when* crop. There was
not that demand for pork, beef and mutton
that now exists Consequently, only a
small portion of the coarse grain of the
farm furnished any fertilizing matter by
making manure while fattening stock. The
great ! >ulk oi' tin* manure was of a strawy
character, and only increased the already
tori large growth of straw. There was but
little grain-producing material in it. The
good effects o! summer tallowing begun to
tail. Ihe straw was otten largo enough to
yield forty or liftv bushels of excellent
wheat per acre ; while there would some
times lie not more *than ten or twelve.—
i'.very year the heads err growing light
er and shorter, and the kernels smaller and
smaller. Consequently those who were ac
etistoinod to rely on the wheat crop for their
revenue, were in a grievous delemma. This
was clean farming, lint low culture ; while
scientific, progressive agriculture requires
high cultivation and fertilization in close
connection with clean farming. This is the
certain tendency of summer fallowing. It
■s good for wheat, temporarily ; but bad
for the farm, and worse still for the farmer,
permanently. Summer fallowing in the
way alluded to, will produce a greater
yield ot wneat, lor a year or two, than anv
oilier system of management ; but, at the
same time, the productiveness of the soil
will he impaired in a greater degree than
by some other system of management,
which will always keep the soil good, and
at the same time, produce remunerating
crops from year to year.
CLAY LANDS CRUSHING CLODS
If a farmer e> >ubl plow all his laud at just
tin" right time L>r it t< crumble down most
readily, there would be no use for clod
crushers. \\ hen there are several acres
plowed, and the weather continues dry from
day to day, much of it will often become
so dry that it will turn up in large clods,in
spite ot all that can be done. When this
is the ease, it becomes necessary to make
use of the roller and harrow, alternately
until the hard lumps are reduced so line
that the rain will disintegrate them. If
manure be hauled out in the spring - , when
the ground is wet, wherever the team poaches
the wet soil—if it is a heavy loam, or cal
careous clay—there will he more or less
clods, as soon as the soil is plowed : ami
where the team passes several times in one
place, there will oltcn be so much lumpy
earth, that it will hardly be practicable ;*>
get mellow dirt enough to cover a hill of
coin. But the fault is not in the farmer,as
his teams and vehicles must travel over the
soil, whether it is wet or dry ; even when
the soil is thoroughly underdrained, and in
a high state <>f fertility, it will plow up in
lumps. It is sometimes utterly impracti
cable to plow a large field at the best time.
Therefore, since clods and lumps are una
voidable, we must adopt the most effectual
and ceon mtical way to pulverise them.
W hen hard and dry, they are very difficult
to crush with any implement, hut soon af
ter a heavy shower of rain, when the soil
has dried sufficiently to pievent adhering'
to the roller, or crusher, they may be re
duced to powder very effectually.' Let a
harrow follow the roller to bring up the
clods that are partially buried, and roll the
second time. If the roller be applied at
the correct time, clods will give but little
trouble. Where there are lumps between
rows of corn or potatoes, the best wav to
dispose of them is to turn out all hands,
with axes, clubs or mauls, and crush them.
A blow applied with the flat side of an ax,
will do the business as effectually as any
thing. W hen weeds and grass are small,
this practice will he f„und almost equal to
a dressing with hand hots. When a field
is not undeidrained, and is excessivelv wet,
and heavy animals have been allowed to
travel over it. we must < xpe.q | l!trf j | urnpß

COLORING CHEESE
The color til cheese Bqmetiincs exerts u
greater influence than the llavor, in secur
ing a ready sale. Most people reject a pale,
light-colored cheese ; and choose those that
have a golden color like rich cream, as this
is a supposed characteristic of an excellent
article. A light colored cheese may pos
sess all the richness of one that is as yel
low as gold; indeed, they may be both
alike in quality ; and still the golden-col
ored one will be pronounced best, and com
mand the highest price. So much does a
good color enhance the value t cheese in
most markets. In order to secure the de
sired color, it is customary to employ An
natto, but it may be done without. Let
the curd remain in the vat, spread out as
much as practicable, until it is of the right
temperature to be put into the hoop. By
allowing it to remain exposed to the atmos
phere while it is cooling, instead of dashing
cold whey, or water on if —as is sometimes
done—the rich creamy color may be secur
ed without the use of any coloring matter.
1y this means, all the good flavor and rich
ness will be retained ; whereas, when the
curd is washed, more or less of the valu
able portions of it are removed by the
whey. If the curd be exposed to the air
in this manner, the cheese will be of a uni
form color throughout Then if cured with
care and the rind kept smooth by not allow
ing the outside to dry faster than the inside
shrinks, a small quantity of annatto ap
plied to the surface will impart a very good
color to the exterior.
WORKING AND PACKING BUTTER.
One of the causes of bad butter is the
habit which some dairywornen indulge in
of leaving their butter unworked for a con
siderable time after churning. Every hour
that the buttermilk remains in contact with
the butter, after churning, is an injury ; it
cannot be freed from it too soon.
The grain of butter is often spoiled by
too much working ; on the other hand, if it
is not worked enough, it will be spoiled ;
the process therefore requires much atten
tion.
It is hard to define with accuracy what
we mean by the (/rain of butter, but every
one knows whether butter looks or feels
greasy or waxy. When it has the appear
ance of wax, we say the grain is good, and
the more it resembles wax in its consisten
cy, the better is the grain. The mure
greasy it is in appearance, the more we
| say the grain has been injured. In order
to free butter front the milk with the least
injury to the grain, it should be gathered
into an egg-shaped form with a wooden
j butter ladle, without touching it with the
naked hand ; it should then be gashed lon
gitudinally around the whole circumference,
making the channels lowest at either end
of the transverse axis, so that the milk can
run readily away. Pressing the mass to
gether, so that the particles are compelled
to slide over each other laterally, as when
j putty is worked, and mortar is tempered,
must he carefully avoided, under penalty
of spoiling the grain.
Butter machine workers have failed of
succes chiefly because of the pressure,
which causes a rubing motion of the par
ticles upon each other ; they mat-It the but
ter without properly working it. I have
no doubt however, that the mechanical in
genuity of our country will yet supply a
torm of this much needed instrument,which
will relieve dairywornen of the heavy labor
of working it by hand, without injuring the
grain.
It is not easy to work out the butter
milk at once ; it is, therefore, better to set
ii aside alter the first workiug in a cool
place for twelve hours, during which the
action of the salt will liberate more of the
buttermilk; the first process should then
be repeated, with the same precautions
against in jury to the grain ; it is then ready
for packing. 1 need not tell the dairymen
of tins county that no packages save oak
en tubs are lit for butter, nor that the wood
from which they are made should be thoro
ughly seasoned. They should be prepared
by pouring boiling water into them, in
which they should soak for twenty-four
hours : they are then to be filled with strong
brine tor two or three days, after which
they should be well rubbed with line salt,
when they are readv to receive the butter

HOW TO CHOOSE A COW.
On this subject, the Working Farmer
says : " there is always some risk in buy

and history we know nothing, for there are
no infallible signs of excellence. A rough,
Course, ill-shaped cow is oltena noble milk

agreed upon by experienced farmers which
it is well to consider before purchasing. A
small boned head and light horns are bet
ter than large. Long legs make too wide
a gap betwixt udder and milk pail, and
long legged cows are seldom quiet feeders,
but wander about too much. A slender
rather than a thick neck, a straight back,
wide ribs and broad brisket, are to be
: sought for The body of the cow should
be huge in pioportion to head, neck and
legs, though net excessively large; and
the bind quarters it large out of proportion
indicate good milking qualities. Medium
sized cows, all things considered, prove the
, best milkers for the amount of food they
| consume. The color of the hair has prob*
ably nothing to do with the milking qualjs
t ios, and good looks should be regarded! hut
little in purchasing dairy animals. As to
the color of the skin, a bright yellow, ap
proaching that of gold coins, creamy color

soft flexible hide, loose over the ribs and
lump, is also to. be sought. The udder
should be large, soft, and full of veins,
which ramify over it, with full sized milk
