How to Make a Good Barnyard. Several things are essential to render a barnyard a good one. It must be so con structed that water from any source will not accumulate in it. It must not be un comfortably wet or disagreeably' muddy for stock. The surface must also be firm, so that coarse manure will not be pressed down into the soft earth, and thus make hard pitching. These are the main requis ites. Now, the first thing is to provide for carrying off the surplus water that will be liable to find its way among the manure. Cut a good ditch entirely around the yard, not less than 30 inches deep, and fill it with tiles if they can be obtained, or with plank. Stones will be .just as good to drain tne soil and carry oft'the water ; but the drains are more liable to be filled up by rats. This drain will keep the ground dry 011 each side of it, and will not carry oft* the liquid manure. Conduct all the water by eave troughs from the roof of the barn and sheds into this underdrain. The next step is to grade the yard, either by hauling earth away, leveling off the knolls, or bj T drawing in compact earth to fill up the depressions. The surface of the yard should always descend gradually from the barn and sheds. There ought also to be buildings, or cheap sheds on every side of the yard. Excavate at the lowest part so that liquid from all parts of the yard will descend to that place, and there sink a sugar hogshead, and cover it with plank, so that nothing can fall into it. Then, set a cheap pump in this hogshead, pump up the liquid, and send it in board or bark troughs among the solid manure in any part of the yard. This will be a perfect security against its heating and becoming "fire-fanged." The next job will be to pave the whole, or a portion of it. Stones of various sizes and forms may be used. Flat stones three or four feet square are objectionable, for heavy cattle are liable to slip on large stones so as to injure themselves. Were they to slip not more than two feet, there would be little danger of barm. Some parts may be paved with boulders of a cer tain size, and then those of another size may be used in another place. Large stones and small ones may be placed side by side, by excavating a little for the large ones, so that the surfaces of each will be of equal bight. Stretch a line across the yard and lay the top of each row of stones even with the line. In this way there will be little or no difficulty in making the surface of the pavement even. When laying the stones, tiie workman needs a trowel to place sand, or fine gravel beneath thm or small stones, to raise them up to the line, and a rammer made of a billet of hard wood wi'li an iron ring like that of a beetle on the bottom of it, tc drive those stones that are too high, down even with the line. After the paving is finished, spread sand, gravel or finely-pulverized clay all over the pavement and work it into the interstices. This will make a harnyard that every good farmer will he proud of. On many farms there are loose stones enough lying in the fields to pave several yards. W here stones are sea ree, the surface may he covered with grave' or clay, or compact earth, instead of stones. Where timber is cheap, a yard can he paved with wood, hy sawing off logs, five or six inches long,with a drag saw,and placing them on the end. This would make a pavement that could not fail to please the most incorrigible faultfinder or grumbler. Hemlock, pine, oak of all kinds, and many other kinds of wood sawed into paving blocks and well tarred on the lower ends with coal tar, would last many years, al ways making a very smooth and agreeable surface to work on, and not slippery for an imals. It would also hold liquid manure well. How to Increase the Manure Pile- The soil unmanured, will often produce good crops for a year or two, or more, and then it demands rest,in order to recuperate, and gain soluble, ash ingredients enough for another series of crops. This period of' rest it was early found might be much shortened by frequently stirring the soil by the plow and harrow ; and moreover, it be came known that the addition of certain substances to the soil, such as the dung of animals, the ashes of trees and plants, etc., not only operated in the same way, but en tirely did away with the necessity of fal lowing. Thus, long in advance of the phil osophy which we now recognize as account ing fur these facts, farmers knew what would restore lost fertility,and what course of treatment would keep up their land. Man, indeed, does nothing without some kind of a reason, and so in old times the fanners had a philosophy which answered as well for them as ours docs for us, so lung as it did not conflict with known facts. Now-a-days we have so many facts, and they are so well systematized, that our philosophy must be very nearly right ir. the main, though still there are many points upon which the Doctors disagree. Manures supply to the soil what the plants require its food, and that which oth er crops may have removed. They also cause chemical action to take place, by means of which plaut-food, in the soil but not available to the plant, becomes soluble, or otherwise available. Besides, they pro duce other desirable effects, such as mak ing the soil more friable, porous, absorbent of moisture, and more tenacious, or less so, etc. Good tillage without manure may produce several of these effects, especially in conjunction with the action of the air, rains, sunshine, frosts, etc., and it always greatly assists the action of manure. In all civilized countries in which the soil has been long enough under cultivation to show a decline in fertility, manure is valued for all the reasons just enumerated. The questions of "Inquirer," of Barrysburg, Pa., whose letter we quote, are to the point. He saj T s: 1 am anxious to know in what way to increase my manure heap. 1 have only 30 acres of laud and am working every foot of it. Of straw, I have not even enough to bed my stock with. I keep five horses, two cows, and generally feed two oxen through the winter. My manure heap is nearly always smoking, being so hot, and turns gray, or looks mouldy inside. How shall 1 proceed to prevent it,and what shall Ido for materials ? Spent tan-bark 1 can get three miles off; sawdust none about here ; I can get but a very small quantity of leaves, and for these I have to pay very high ; muck I have none on my land, and have nothing, indeed, but gravelly soil. Will some one please give me advice as to what I am to do ?" It is now autumn, and our friend will not do well to collect much, if any, vegetable matter which can contain weed seeds in any considerable quantity. Still it is pro bable that a good deal of such things as potato tops, swamp grass, rushes, reeds, bogs, etc., may be obtained. His soil is gravelly ; were it not lor this, we woukl recommend him to use good loamy, or even sandy soil, for bedding for bis stock. Noth ing is better to lied cattle, or horses upon, than about a barrowful of soft loam, free from stories arid sticks,covered with a very slight spreading of straw or other litter.— The litter may be renewed daily and raked off, with the dung and the soil as often as it becomes saturated with urine, or other wise defiled or wasted—say once, a week for cows, and twice for all male animals. — This will not only increase the bulk of the manure heap, and check the fire-fanging, but it will greatly improve its quality,real ly more than our philosophy with present data can account for. If it is possible for Inquirer to get such soil, we say by all means use it ; if not, let him go out into the highways and hedges, and trim oft the sods, pare off the turf, clean out the road side ditches, pools, etc., and cart it all in to swell the manure heap. The best way to use it is, having it dry, to mingle it daily with the manure in the stall ; if this can not be done, then make the mixture when the stables are cleaned out, using uniform quantities daily in proportion to the amount of manure made. As for the heap, mouldy, heated, and fire-fanged, as it is described, the only thiug to do with that is to work it all over, repiling it with uniform square sides and a flat top. It should be support ed on rails, or any other contrivance for good drainage, so that water may be pump ed over it and run though into a sunk hogs head, or tank of some kind. When piling up such a heap, mix in soil, muck, straw, or something of the kind,and tread it down hard on the edges, that they may not dry so much as otherwise.— American Agricul turist. How to make Good Cider- Good, sound, and ripe apples, washed clean, are the first and indispensable req uisite. Specked and wormy apples, and those dropped from the trees before they are half ripe, and have become tough and insipid, or bitter, cau never make good ci der. Indeed, a few apples of this descrip tion in a bnshel of good ones, will materi ally injure the good flavor of all the cider. Grind the apples to a fine pulp, without crushing the seed, which will impart a bit ter taste to tike cider. The pomace should be kept in a large vat or tub, for at least twenty-four hours before the juice is ex pressed. If the weather is so cool that fer mentation will not start, it will be better to allow the pomace to remain four or five days. If the pomace is pressed soon after the apples are ground, the juice will often be very insipid and light colored, and al ways destitute of that excellent flavor and rich color which good cider possesses, when the pomace has lain a few days. In the usual way of fermenting, the cider after becoming perfect, soon becomes hard and contains more or less vinegar. This can be avoided by taking the same care with cider as with wine. Procure a tin, glass, or india rubber tube, and tit it closely in a hole bored through a bung, which per fectly fits the barrel. The bung being placed in the bung hole, the other end •■! the tube is placed below the surface ot wa ter contained in a cup or other convenient vessel. If all in tight, the gas liberated in fermentation will pass through the tube, and bubble up through the water, but no air can enter the barrel as long as the end of the tula- is covered by the water. W hen bubbles cease to appear, the fermentation is complete, and the cider may then be rack ed off into clean barrels and bunged tight. The fermentation should go on slowly in a cool cellar. Olieese from a few Cows. The communication from a " Farmers Wife," upon making cheese from a lew cows, published last .Tune, seems to have met the wants of a number of our readers. Mrs Ellen Whiteomb, of Delaware County, lowa, writes a pleasant account of her suc cess, and as her ingenuity in overcoming some difficulties may be of use Jo others, we give the following extract from her let ter : " I quite disagree with the' Western Boy,' in saying the Agriculturist is not adapted to the West. I think wherever people are, whether East or West,they may learn some thing. I have all the love for the West that any one can boast, still I have learned a great many things from the columns of your paper, indeed T could not do without it. As I was putting my cheese to press this morning, I thought 1 would write and tell you how much benefit your paper was to me, and perhaps my experience might help some one else ; and also to express my thanks for the timely assistance in mak ing my cheese, derived from it. This spring I said 1 wanted to make cheese with two cows, my neighbors, who thought they must have sixteen or twenty, laughed, and guessed I would make a large cheese with two cows, one of them being farrow, and we have a pet lamb that drinks four or five quarts a day. I did not like to give up, but never having seen a cheese made, and not liking to ask them how, I was still un decided, when the June Agriculturist came with those plain and sensible directions. Now, I said, I would have a cheese. My husband said he would fix a press if I would try to make one. I got a peck measure for a hoop, and the rennet from a neighbor,but then I had no linen cloth for a strainer ; never mind, some old thin cloth would do for all I should make. The next difficulty was we had no cheese basket —well, the I colander would do, and now I was ready. The first cheese being too salt and rather thin, I then thought, to put three curds into one. I tried it, putting each curd into the press, and pressing lightly,so that it would not sour, then the third day I crumbled the two first with last, and pressed tlicm alto gether, and a very nice cheese was the re sult, and you may well believe I was proud of it. Now I have three, and they all ad mit 1 can make cheese from two cows, for which I thank the paper and the lady who wrote for it."— American Agriculturist. BEST METHOD FOR KEEPING BEEF. —Cut up the meat in pieces as large as you desire. Pack it in a barrel, or cask. Then make a brine as follows : 1A lbs. salt to 1 gallon water, 1 oz. saltpetre to 100 lbs. beef, 1 ta blespoonful of ground pepper to 100 lbs. of beef. Put in the salt and saltpetre and heat it boiling hot, skim it, then add the pepper. Pour it on the beef boiling hot and cover closely. Your meat will be good and fresh any time. The philosophy is this—The hot brine closes the pores on the surface, preventing decay and the meat from getting too salt. Try it. If neces sary scald the brine over in the spring, or put on a new brine. Farmers can in this way have fresh meat nearly all the time. Tne meat should be taken as soon as it is cold, before it has acquired any old taste by exposure to the atmosphere. ANOTHER GOOD WAY TO KEEP MEAT. —Cut it in slices ready to broil or fry for the table. Then putting down in a jar one laying of meat, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and so continue till the jar is filled, cover closely and set in the coolest part of the cellar. It will keep a long time, for I and my neigh bors have tried it.— A Country Woman. MOLASSES SPONGE CAKF.. —Mix 1 cup of molasses, 1A of flour, 3 eggs, and a tea spoonful of soda.
