gtijrirultral Recipe for during Hams- EDITOR REPORTER. —The following recipe I have used for fifteen years and never i failed to have first-rate Hams : Saltpeter 2 oz. Saleratus 1 oz. Brown Sugar 21bs. Salt fibs. To 100 lbs Hams apply the above mix ture with the hams. Pack iu a cask and let them stand 4 or 5 days without brine, then make a brine of 3 lbs rock-salt to four gal- ; lons of water, put on enough to cover and J let them stand 4or 5 weeks before smok- j iug. W- H. S. Fattening Fowls- It is of no use to put up a skeleton aud j expect to make a fine, fat, tender meated ; fowl of it by feeding in confinement. Fat- i tening is adding fat to lean. must have the lean laid on while the bird is run ning at liberty. No amount of feeding will make a hard, old fowl tender. 11' a hen is over ten months old she ntay as well he ten years. She has passed the age for tlie table. She is old at ten months and ought not to be palmed oil as a chicken. Four months or at most five months is old enough to take chickens for the table, and if you take them at that age, in good fleshy condition, three or four weeks of con finement ought to bring them into first rate condition for the table. If they are going to market they may be crowded to advan tage, but fcr home consumption it is not needed. If you make a coop big enough for fifteen or twenty fowls and put but four or five into it, they will not readily fatten. They have too much room. To fatten rap idly they must not have room to move about freely, but simply enough to stand and shift their position. They ought to be fed three times a day. Indian meal or dough is one of the best articles of food to lay on fat. Oatmeal mixed with milk is also first rate. Either substance should be fresh mixed each time, and no mure ought to be given than will be eaten up at the time. If you give too much the bird will overfed, or become cloyed, that is, tlie ap petite is destroyed, and the food gets sour and if the fowl does not take a decided dis taste to it, it will not thrive upon it. Feed fattening fowls at day-break in the morning. Cover them up warm at night and protect them from cold during tlie day. Feed regularly, never on stale food. Never subject them to draughts of air. Never place them where they can see other fowls running about. Iu these circumstances they will fatten beautifully in three weeks and there is no known process by which they can be kept healthy after they are well fattened. Begin then three weeks be fore you want to kill. Calculate the num ber the coop will hold aud fill it so full that the fowls can do but little more than stand comfortably. You can't expect to do more than put on flesh while fowls are running at large. You can't fatten. Putting on flesh is only preparatory to fattening. If you want to get the highest price in the market you must eoop and feed three weeks in the manner indicated.—MaMarhunetfn Ploughman. Top Dressing for Land- When 1 commenced farming on my own hook, about thirty-five years ago, it was tlie practice of farmers to haul out all the manure in the spring of the year, spread and plow it under from six to eight inches deep, for as Poor Richard says : " Plow deep while sluggards sleep, and you shall have corn to sell and keep." —which, by-the by, is better rhyme than reason. I soon learned lrom practice and close attention to the subject of manures, that I was wasting my capital, although it was recommended by Judge Buell, of the Albany Cultivator, and other agricultural journals of that day. We abandoned the practice and immedi ately changed our base of operations, and adopt a new line of policy —let the manure lay over summer in the yards to ferment, rot, and ripen, and in the autumn, when or about the time the fall rains come on, draw draw it out and spread it evenly on the sur face of pasture or meadow. And from that day, thirty years ago, to this, 1 have used the manure produced on the farm entirely for top-dressing on meadows, mostly with the most satisfactory results. And now at this distant day, it gives an old farmer de lightful emotions to see his notions of farming adopted, although at that day, thirty years ago, thought to he altogether Utopian. But today, through the influence of the guarding spirits of agricultural pro press, it is becoming popular with tlie best farmers of the .State and nation. Mr. Johnson, of " Near Geneva," of world-wide usefulness, says in the (iciicnscc Farmer, " I have used manure only as a top-dressing for the last twenty years, and I do think one load used in that way is worth far more than two plowed under."-- Friend Johnson, you are right, and we thank you for those words, for they are timely and fitly spoken. Mr Dickinson and many others endorse the practice,which many meadows through the State begin to show. When 1 commenced farming before top-dressing my meadow, 1 mowed about the same number of acres that we did this year—made one small stack and filled the burn up to the collar-beam, all told about five tons. After the lapse of thirty years of top-dressing, we have cut on the same num ber of acres hay enough to till three barns, build four large stacks, in all forty tons against five tons before manuring : ant! the aftermath now on the ground (Septem ber btli,) will make more hay than all the crop of those years before manuring. The titne to top-dress is in early autumn—the amount per acre as much as you please, if you have it. On land newly seeded, the first or second year is the best time accord ing to my experience. And I think the ag ricultural papers are generally adopting the practice, which we are very glad to see. Gentlemen, you are right, " keep it before the people," as the politicians say.— L. P. 1.., in Country Gentleman. BOILED POTATOES FOR MILCH COWS.- —A suc cessful farmer informs ns that he has prac ticed, the last summer, giving to each of his milch cows five quarts of cold boiled po tatoes a day, and that they were worth half a dollar a bushel for this purpose, llis old potatoes were worth nothing in the market, and so he boiled up some twenty five or thirty gallons at a time. lie says that he could see no benefit whatever from giving them old potatoes in a raw state. There is a period from the first of July to the first of August when cows need some additional food, and if boiled potatoes will help them hold out their milk till it is time to feed out the Southern corn, we may hope to carry cows through the whole summer season in a condition to yield a good profit, especially on farms remote from the mar ket. No time is so favorable for the purchase and transportation of fruit trees and shrubs, as the autumn Mutton the Meat for Farmers. The cheapest meat for farmers is mutton. : It may safely be said it costs nothing. The j wool that is annually sheared from the body of every sheep, richly pays for its ! keeping. In this climate it costs less to 1 keep sheep than at the North, on account of the shortness of our winters. Then there is the increase—an item of great impor- i tance. The increase is so much clear profit. | From this increase the farmer can get all his meat for the year if he likes. Or he may save the lambs and take some of the older sheep in their places. The pelt of the sheep, if killed for mat ton, is also saved and sold, which is worth nearly as much as tlie sheep would sell for. It is also the most convenient meat to have on hand. In the warmest weather a franter can take care of one sheep after be ing killed, without letting it spoil. With beef this is not so easy. One hand eau kill and dress a sheep in an hour. It takes but little time or trouble to kill a sheep, nor near so much as to kill and dress a hog or a beef. On account of of convenience and economy, we say keep sheep and live npon mutton. We have said nothing about its being the healthiest food. This is admitted. It needs no arguments or facts to prove it. It is true that pork is the chief meat of farmers. It is the uuhealthiest of all, whether fresh or saturated with salt to pre serve it sound. Let every farmer keep sheep. They are the most profitable stock on a l'ann. The hog's back only yields bristles, while the shep's yields downy wool. All that you feed to the hog is gone, unless you kill it, while the sheep will pay you for its keep with its fleece yearly. The hog is a filthy, voracious auimal—the sheep gentle as a dove and neat and cleanly.— Rural World. Prepare for Winter. After a pleasant and unusually warm autumn, Jack Frost has visited us of the North, and tlie chill winds indicates thatlie will soon make a long call. Those who are not prepared for winter, therefore, should at once bestir themselves and make ready to give the frigid monster a proper reception. There are a score of things which some farmers have yet to do to put their premises, themselves, their families and domestic animals in proper trim for the long season of hibernation. Many liave crops yet unsecured, such as corn and po tatoes ; while neglect, procrastination, or want of time, find many more with a variety of necessary work, repairs, etc., about faint, garden and buildings, yet undone. All such must hurry us, or they will be caught by the inexorable Jack, who waits no one's slow motion. If you would avoid cold toes and fingers while husking, dig ging, etc., secure the remnants of all out standing crops at once. See that your dwelling and outbuildings, sheds, Ac., are put in order. Have a care for the domes tic animals, remembering that good care, feed and shelter are important, and eco nomical, in late fall and early winter. Look out for good fuel and proper heating appa ratus, that the wife and family may not only be comfortable, but, in consequence, good tempered. Attend to all these and many other things, now, not forgetting to look after the district schools, or to pro vide suitable books and newspapers for study and perusal in the family circle dur ing the season of long evenings and com parative leisure that is coming on apace. Thus doing you will act well yonr part.— Rural Wee.' Yorlfr. The History of the Plough- The first plough is supposed to have been the rude branch of a tree cut so as to have a cleft end, the point of which, dragged along the surface of the ground, scraped the furrow into which the seeds were thrown. It soon occurred to the husband man that he might relieve his own labor by yoking an animal to the long arm of this i primitive instrument ; then arose the ne-1 cessity for a handle fixed to the back, so j that the plough might he guided. The j strength of the animal soon wore away, or broke, the cleft of the branch, and this ne-: cessity gave rise to the invention of means for attaching rnqvable shares, first of wood, ! next of stone, copper, or iron, working to a shape adapted to the cutting of furrows, so j as to avoid the excessive labor from the plough man having to lean upon the plough with all his weight to press it into the earth. Just such an implement as these! conjectures indicate was used by the Sax ons. Some of the facts connected with the his tory of the plough are almost incredible In Ireland there once prevailed a custom j of "ploughing by horse's tail." The 1 draught-pole was lashed to the tail of the hors . and, as no harness was used, two men were necessary, one to guide and press upon the plough, the other to direct the horse, which he did by walking back wards before the miserable animal, and beating him upon the head ott either side, i according to the direction required This custom prevailed lor a considerable time, j in spite of a law which was passed in the early part of the seventeenth century, im posing severe penalties upon a person found guilty of " ploughing by the horse's tail," as in the act mentioned described. From Rev. C;esar Ot way's "Sketches in Erris and Tyrawley," it appears that the barbar ous practice lingered in the romote west of Ireland us late as the year 1710 And from a paper "On the Breed of Hoises in Scot land" in tlie first volume of the " Transac tion of the Society of Antiquaries of Scot land," we find it in that country as late as the vent 17h2. I KMI'ER IX 1 BEATING STOCK. —The farmer's stock around him partakes more or less of the quality of the owner or those who at tend upon it. A man's influence is impar ted to his beasts, particularly the horses, the working cattle, and the milch cows. A man of irascible temper gets up nervous ness in a horse or cow. The brute becomes afraid of him ; and if of a vicious nature, is apt to be hurtfully influenced, perhaps irrcclaimably spoiled—whereas a mild tem pered, discriminative man will gradually smooth down tlie asperities of a harsh dis position. We have known milch cows, wild as doers, brought to a placid tracta bility. I lie man is a superior—and his su perior influence will be communicated. Wise stock-men keep fools and irritants out of their stock-yards. FEARS have been so abundant in England this year, that they have been sold at the rate ol 4 lbs. for 2d. They have been cheap er than potatoes. \\ ith ns srood pears are worth ten cents a pound—or ten times as much as in England. But in England they have no pear blight. THERE are said to be underground creeks in the limestone regions of Georgia with current of suth'eient velocity to carry a mill €lotl)ing. gOLo MO N & S( N . No. 2 Patton's Block. Towanda, Pa..
