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.—

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.
