Pall Plowing-
There are many farmers at this day who
deem fall plowing unprofitable cultivation.
They prefer to turn over the soil in the
spring when it has become sufficiently dry.
and put the seed into it while it is mellow
and fresh. They argue that it is injurious
to expose the ground, by plowing, to the
rains and snows of winter, and that it be
comes too much compacted to be in good
condition for a seed bed. Moreover, it is
more work, on the whole, to put in a crop ;
for the extra amount of cultivation and har
rowing required by a fall-plowed field above
that of a spring-plowed one, to get it as
mellow and fine, is considerable. Then it
is denied that there is not much time gained
in the spring, for one who can plow land
wetter, with less injury, than he can har
row it
We believe, however, that there are very
decided advantages in fall plowing ; and
that it is a fact that, on an average, better
i rons are obtained on fall-plowed land than
ou spring-plowed exclusively. We say ex
clusively, because while fall-plowed land
gains some of the advantages of a spring
working, spring-plowed receives none of
the fall cultivation. Here, then, is one ap
parent benefit : if there is more cultivation,
there is a better condition.
The cultivation for a spring crop, which
commences with fall plowing, might be
termed winter fallowing. It differs from
summer fallowing in that, as no weeds will
grow in winter, therefore, we destroy none.
But, then, we need not word; the frost-king
drives his glittering plow through the
lumpy earth and it crumbles like dry ashes
in the furrow. lie cultivates and harrows,
rolls and subsoils, ne demands neither
money nor food. He does his powerful
work unheard and unseen. Sometimes, in
the calmness of a winter night, when the
full moon and the starry hosts jewel the
sky ; and again, when the wrath of the
storm smites the earth. We may sit by the
fire and be comfortable, and our horses
grow fat and gamesome in the stable.
" But,'' argues one, " all this will be done if
we do not fall-plow ; the ground will freeze
the same." So it will. But freezing will
not have the same effect. That part ol the
soil destined to receive the seed is not pul
verized and air-slacked ; neither is it ex
posed to the rain and snow ; which expos
ure, we think, is a benefit and not an injury.
Why should it be an injury ? If it is det
rimental to plowed land, it is so, likewise,
to that which is unplowed, only to a lesser
degree. Does nature, operating in this
way, persistently, regularly for half the
year, work injury to the soil? The rain
and the snow hold in solution much enrich
ing substance, and most of it is imparted to
the land. Taken in connection with the
operation of the frost, the snows and rains
of winter are of gre it benefit to the land,
and the most benefit can be gained when
the soil is turned over in the fall, and left
in the furrow so as to expose the greatest
amount of surface to the action of the ele
ments.
Hut in the spring you have to do about
as much work to put in the crop, as though
you had done nothing in the fall ? Not
quite ! It requires good and thorough sur
face tillage, and that is all. A gang plow,
or a large cultivator, with the harrow and
roller fits an admirable seedbed. It is not
at all necessary to plow again. If the
work has been well done in the autumn,
under ordinary circumstances, we should
by all means prefer not to plow again in
the spring. Ilavc two or three inches of
mellow, freshly turned soil, and that under
neath will be left sufficiently loose by the
frost for the roots of the plants.
Fall plowing, also, helps to kill weeds.
Canada thistles are not invigorated by hav
ing their roots on the top oi the ground
during the winter. But the chief benefit,
in this direction, would be derived from
plowing early enough to let red-root, cockle
and weeds that infest wheat, sprout in the
fall, and then the spring cultivation would
destroy them. In the meantime, we advise
farmers to fall-plow as much as possible.
Other tilings being equal, we think the
man who gets the most plowed in the au
tumn, has the satisfaction of feeling, when
the spring comes, that lie has his work best
in hand.— Rural Nm* Yorker.
Sheep work in December.
Sheep go into their winter quarters, in
the Northern States, in December, that is
to say, they go from the pasture to the
barnyard, from green feed to dry feed. Not
more than one hundred should be kept to
gether in one yard and stable if it can be
avoided, and seventy-five will do better
than a hundred. Other things being equal
they are usually divided according to age,
that is, tegs are put with tegs, yearlings
with yearlings, middle aged with middle
aged, and crones with crones. But they
should also be classed by size and condi
tion, partly irrespective of age. Fleshy,
strong sheep will crowd away front the
racks and feeding troughs, and every other
way get the advantage of smaller and
weaker ones, whether they are of the same
age or not ; and the latter will consequent
ly continue to lose in condition. And a lot
of sheep of the same size and appearance
look better to a purchaser.
Sheep yards should be as roomy as it is
convenient to have them, well drained, and
constantly supplied with water, where the
latter is carried into the stable. It is far
better for the health and thrift of the sheep
that their yards be kept well strawed down
in wet or very cold weather. Whether
they should be closely confined to these
small inelosures during the winter is still a
disputed question. I am decidedly of .the
opinion that breeding ewes, at least, should
not be.
Barns, yards, racks, water-works, Ac.,
should be put in thorough repair before the
opening of winter. lam aware it is easier
to give this advice than it is to keep it !
The scarcity of both labor and lumber ren
ders even repairing very difficult, and the
erection of new structures almost imprac
ticable.
Many of our flock-masters have to pre
pare themselves for a winter of short feed.
Hay is scarce, and both it and grain will
command high prices. Everything, there
fore, must be carefully economized. 1 have
already attempted to show how that may
be done in several ways. One thing-is es
pecially impolitic, viz., to waste a consid
erable quantity of hay and grain on sheep
and then starve them at last. It is far bet
ter to ' pelt " them at once. The judicious
man will count the probable cost of winter
ing his sheep reasonably well. If, all things
considered, lie regards it as more profit-'
able to do so than to sell off the flock for
what he can get for them, and also his hay
aud grain, lie will adopt that course : and j
will keep or purchase all the feed his sheep
require to go through the winter safely.
Ordinary sheep are comparatively low in
price now, on account of the scarcity of
feed ; but they will, undoubtedly, under all
existing circumstances, command very high
prices when they go out to grass next
spring. Why then, if they van be wintered,
sacrifice sbeep to sell the hay and grain on
hand at high prices, when the spring ad-
vance in the price of sheep will be equal—
when wool promises to be at least a dollar
a pound!
If sheep are to be wintered, we do not
believe in the policy of allowing them to
run down in the beginning oi cold weather,
expecting to raise their condition towards
spring. If a sheep reaches the first of
March thin and beginning to be weak, it is
almost impossible to recruit it, or prevent
it from continuing to grow weaker. If the
season is an unfavorable one, this increas
ing weakness generally ends in death.—
Randall.
Saving and applying Manure-
As manure, is some parts ol the country,
is the great motive power in the product
ion of remunerating crops, the more light
we can throw on the best manner ot man
aging fertilizing matter, the better it will
be for those who rely chiefly on the manure \
applied for profitable crops.
In the dropping- of horses which subsist
for the most part on grain, there is a large
per centage of nitrogenous matter, which
is a very valuable fertilizing manure for till
kinds of cereal grain, vegetables,and grass.
When horses are fed on hay and grass alone
the manure of their stables is vastly in
ferior to the kind previously mentioned. —
And why ? Because it is so destitute of
those valuable elements ot fertility which
make the soil produce a large crop of grain,
while the manure made with no ieed but
hay and grass may produce a crop of straw
fully equal to the kind last mentioned. All
good farmers know that if they manure
their land with straw manure the product
will be a heavy crop of straw and a com
paratively light crop of grain. And if the
animals have eaten a liberal supply oi
grain their manure will abound witli nitro
genous matter and ammonia, the latter ot
which is exceedingly volatile, while the for
mer is easily decomposed and dissipated,
unless special care be exercised to retain
it by some absorbents which will hold it
for the benefit uf plants and yield it up to
the roots when they require it.
When we go into a close horse stable
and preceive a pugnent odor that some
times causes our eyes to smart, we may
think that the proprietor of that stable is
losing the most valuable portion of his ma
nure, much faster than we are wont to sup
pose. We frequently see manure steam
ing hot, and a transparent vapor rising
from the heap. The most valuable portions
are escaping rapidly ; and unless the heat
ing process is arrested, the manure will be
worth but little.
When rich barn-yard manure is hauled
to the field and spread, we often smell a
strong udor arising from it, which is the
very essence of plant root. The heat and
dry wind carry away this volatile, fertiliz
iugjmanure, so that the crops of the pro
prietor are benefited no more by it than the
plants of his neighbor.
These considerations suggest to us the
importance of instituting such a system of
management with barn-yard manure, as
will prevent the escape of these volatile
portions, and hold them where growing
plants may avail themselves of their bene
fit, during the growing season.
Barn-yard manure should be protected
from heavy rains, which carry away the
most valuable portions first. Then, no ma
nure should be allowed to remain in large
heaps, until it heats The droppings from
horse stables should be spread around the
yard, and mingled with the manure of neat
cattle and sheep.
If a farmer has old manure on hand in
autumn, it will be better to spread it even
ly on grass land, or where the ground is to
be plowed next spring, than to keep it un
til spring, unless it can be plowed under
immediately, after it has been spread.—
Meadows top dressed in late autumn will
yield a heavy crop of grass, when if the
the same manure is kept until warm weath
er, and the growing season for the next
year commences, the grass will be but lit
tle heavier than if no manure hail been ap
plied.
Food for Milch Com-
If the object is to keep a cow in a healthy
and thrifty condition, and to give an excel
lent quality of milk, abounding in butter
producing material, there is nothing equal
to peas and Indian corn ground into line
meal, and sprinkled on chatted corn-stalks
and hay. Buckwheat meal will produce a
greater tlow of milk, but it will be thin,and
not as rich. When it is not important to
get very rich milk, meal made of equal
parts of buckwheat, Indian corn and peas,
will make the best and most economical
cow-feed. Four or live quarts per day, be
sides a lew quarts of turnips, or potatoes
once a day, will maintain a full flow of
milk, if a cow is well watered and protec
ted from cold and storm.
In order to feed the meal most economi
cally, chaft" half a bushel of corn-stalks, and
a peck of hay, wet it with boiling water
and mingle the meal with the feed ; then
cover it in a close box, so that the steam
will warm the entire mass. Feed it as
soon as sufficiently cool.
.Such feed will be found quite as economi
cal as anything else in market, as it will
maintain the strength as well as health of
cows. Ground peas will produce more
rich milk than the meal of any other grain.
REGULARITY IN FEEDING. —Every gr>oil far
mer knows that any domestic animal is a
good clock, that it knows almost to it ntin
uoe, when the feeding time has arrived. If
itthas been accustomed to be fed with ac
curacy at the appointed period, it will not
fret till that period arrives : after which it
becomes very restless and uneasy, till its
food comes. If it has been irregularly, it
will begin to fret when the earliest period
arrives ; after which it becomes very rest
less and uneasy till its food Comes, llence,
this fretting may be entirely avoided, by
strict punctuality ; but it cannot be other
wise. The very moment the animal begins
to worry, that moment it begins to lose its
flesh ; but the rate of this loss has never
been ascertained—it is certainly worthy an
investigation—and can only be determined
l>y trying the two modes, punctuality and
irregularity, side by side, under similar
circumstances, and with the .same amount
of food, for some weeks or months together.
There is one precaution to be observed
in connection with regular feeding, where
some judgment is needed. Animals cat
more in sharp or frosty, than in damp and
warm weather. Hence, if the same amount
by weight is given at every feeding, they
will not have enough when the weather is
cold, and will be surfeited when it is warm
and damp. Both of these evils must be
avoided, while a little attention and obser
vation will enable the farmer t<> do it.—
