;3tflriralturaL Barn Yards- In the construction of a bain yard many j farmers seem to think that little, or no planning and skill is necessary. They i generally build their barns without any regard to the yard, whether it is to be on the east west, north or south side. The yard, however is quite as important as the barn, and should be so situated that the manure in it will not escape, and run off, as is frequently the case, down some hill. There are farmers who think that a stream of water, running directly through their barn yards, for watering stock, is a good thing, whereas it is the worst place for one that can be |imagined, taking the saving of the liquid manure into considera tion as a large portionjof it must, of course, find its way into the stream, and pass off where it does no good to any one. A great desideratum, in constructing a barn yard, is the preservation of the man ure ; and for thaf purpose, it should be ex cavated in a bowl-like shape, on a gentle declination from the circumference to the centre, and the bottom made tight with clay made into mortar, while applying it, so that the liquids of the yard will not leach down into the subsoil and be lost. Such a yard is an excellent receptacle for manure, win re it may lie over a season, it ferment and de*av, and be in good condi tion to apply to land. Into such a yard a compost may be made to great advantage, by carting in muck, leaves, and anything upon a farm that may he gathered up to decay, placing such things in layers, and covering each with a layer of stable manure all to be mixed by the tramp of cuttle in the yard. No farmer can put too much manure into such a yard, provided he keep it well cov ered with coarse litter, to prevent evapora tion of the gaßes(ammonia) which are con stantly seeking opportunity to pass off into the atmosphere. These gases are to the manure what blood is to the Bj'stem —the life of them ; and to allow them to escape, is throwing away the foundation of all success in agriculture. It is often said that manures keep best under cover ; but that is not the case, except in comparison with the ruinous practice adopted by some farmers, who throw their manure out of their stables into heaps, where the rains wasii a large portion of their virtues away, where no good is done by them. Manure in a yard as above stated, when well covered with straw or other coarse litter, is actually 10idrr cover, and in a better condition than ir would be under a shed, where it would be liable to injury from a lack of moisture. Another inportant consideration, in con structing a barn yard, is the protection of stock from the cold north and west winds ; and the south side, consequently, is the best side of the barn to have it Stock that arc well housed in winter, and have warm sheds to run under, when not in the stables, will keep in good condi tion on much less fodder, than when they stand exposed to the raw, chilling blasts, from the north and west in the winter season ; and the owner actually saves about one third of the fodder they would require, if turned into ;t yard faring thr north 01 west. Farmers, you should do more head work than you are accustomed to do, if you would be prosperous in your business. It is not alwys the hardest working farmers who make the most money ; but generally those who use their twain* often, when iheir hands are idle. Farm Manure—l.s Preparation, Application, &c The wealth of the manure pile does not consist entirely in its bulk or weight.— Much is owing to its management and pre paration, to tit it for application to the soil, that it may supply to the growing plant, in its most direct way, the food necessary to give a vigorous life and growth. Ma nures, exposed to the effects of rain, sun, etc., lose a large proportion of tiieir soluble matter, and thus becomi - valueless, or nearly so, for plant food. It has been found by experience, that manures which are kept sheltered, give a much greater pro duct per acre than equal quantities of un sheltered. This difference in some oops amounts to one half—a difference which it will certainly pay well for looking after, especially as it costs just as much for rent of land, seed, handling manure, and tillage. The difference in products of a few acres would, in a few years, pay for a good barn cellar, or suitable sheds to house the ma nure. Where neither cellar or sheds can be had at once, the best substitute is a eovi ring of boards, earth or muck, for the manure as collected. The manure from stables, cow-yards, etc., must undergo fermentation, and evi-n de compose quite thoroughly before become :r available as plant food. Farm manures, consisting as they do of solid and liquid excrements, with litter, etc., if thrown into a heap, -oou heat, and this In at, if properly regulated, produces decomposition or de cay. Certain conditions are necessarv to properly conduct this fermentation; such as air, moisture, and some warmth. Ma nures mixed with litter, or alone, it subjec ted to much pressure, will not pass through this process, neither if soaked or submer ged in water, is it readily decomposed* suf ficient heat for practical purposes is held dormant. The main desideratum is to reg ulate the supply of moisture, and air or pressure, that a uniform fermentation or decay may proceed. To obtain this result, with the greatest certainty and unifoniiitv, the various manures —horse, cow and hug should be mixed in one pile. The hog and cow manure being more slow or cold to commence fermentation, and the horse of a quicker or more heating nature, the mixture is equalized, and the whole is ben efitted to a greater extent than either alone in the same time. In mixing or piling the manure of the yard, stable, etc , wo find, in the majority of cases, that there is far too little attention paid to breaking it up fine. We are usually in a hurry to finish up the job, not thinking <>t what is ot paramount importance, Comminution. Win-re manures me \\u|j fined, or picked in pieces, loavin u* no lumps, they usually become fit for ap plying to the soil much sooner than when otherwise done. Hastening* the proper de composition is the main object of piling the mass usually. After the fermentation has continued for a time the mass gete quite warm ; it should be examined to see that it does not get firefanged ; if likely to do so,a soaking of liquids which may "have been saved in the tanks, or water applied, will moderate the fermentation for a time, and by washing out some of the more soluble parts of the richer portion equalize the whole mass ; overhauling and still farther fining will also check it, and at the same time farther tit it for the soil, there t > sup ply plant food directly to the- growing plant. As manures supply food directly to tlie* growing plant through the medium of the soil, it is desirable to understand the best mode of applying them, that the greatest heneit may be derived therefrom ; whether they should be spread on the surface with no covering of soil ; covered slightly and' well mixed with the surface soil, or plowed under to the depth of several iuches. 1 1 ; have found, by experience and observation, I I that uniformly best effects result from ap- f ; plying the manure broadcast to all cultiva-' ! ted crops ; plow thoroughly and well ; j 1 (here is where there is more failure than , , there should be, for we have comparatively few good plowmen ;) spread on your nia- i | nure, cultivate and harrow it in, mingling : | it thoroughly with the soil to the depth the j j cultivator runs. I would have it understood that previous | to application, the manure is thoroughly j fined so that there are no lumps or any-j I thing to hinder an easy mixing in the soil, j j with the aforesaid implements. In this j way the soil at once takes up or absorbs i all the elements that enter into plant life, i and readily imparts them to the plants ; through its roots fixed in the soil ; these j elements, consisting of carbon, nitrogen, *I hydrogen and oxygen, combined with the i phosphates, sulphates, chlorates, etc., are • all furnished from common farm manure. \Y 11. WHITE, SO. Windsor, CT. Writing for the Press. There are thousands of excellent farmers in our country, who are capable of penning j ! communications that would be read with i great interest ami profit. It is not to be i expected that the man who has always been accustomed to wield the plow and j spade, and other implements of husbandry, j will be able to pen an article equal to the man who has never done but little else in j his whole life but write We desire to nave our young farmers ; try their hand a little. If they fail, it can he no worse for them. Writing one com- j I niunication will greatly facilitate the task iof penning another. Farmers have a great ! deal of leisure during our long winter i evenings ; and it would be an excellent I way to spend a portion of their time to j ! write communications on subjects con-1 ' j nectcd with their business. Let us suggest a few thoughts to aid young writers. Write briefly. You can pen a commu : location of good length on one page of foolscap paper. Record facts which have j been interesting and profitable to your | selves, and you may rest assured that ! your writings will be perused with interest Iby others. Young writers sometimes 1 think that if a communication does not . cover three or four pages of foolscap paper, . it will not be acceptable to an editor. | Nothing is more erroneous. Editors usu | ally prefer short article to long ones. Four | short communications would be much more j I likely to prove acceptable to editors, and : j to be published, than one long one. It there is any subject on which you j have made discoveries, or on which you have thoughts that would be likel.C to be j profitable to other farmers, sit down and [ write upon it' but confine yourself to that j subject alone—e.g. the mauagemeat of i cow or sheep, or other animals. Many farmers have certain modes of per forming different kinds of labor, which if ! described in proper language, would he of : great value to beginners. Let our young ! men improve their talent in communicating ; their knowledge to others. While engaged in manual labor the 1 mind may be employed in the investiga- I tion of some subject to write on. after the • labors of the day have closed. Gutting Grafts- Those who expect to use quantities of grafts in spring may find it most conven ! icnt to cut them now, and not be compelled 1 ! to perform it hurriedly, with perhaps the ; omission of what they most want, just lie fore using Very severe winters some ; times injure the shoots, or when apparently uninjuri d, theii vigor of growth is lessened, and they do not start so readily. This may prove the turning point between the growing and dying of a graft. Plums and pears are more apt to be thus affected. By cutting them early in winter, all danger of; . this kind is avoided. When the grafts are cut early in winter, ; they should be tied in moderate sized bun- ! dies, by means of a band of brass around i each end and in the middh*-. The name ] should be written on a small strip of wood not over half an inch wide, which should jbo tied up with grafts. As a precaution' , they should be written on both sides. A ! ; common lead pencil may be used for this j ; purpose, and if the wood is first moistenc-d j on the surface, or still better, rubbed very ; j thinly with white paint, the name will lie j more durable. The natural moisture of the j j grafts should bo exactly preserved the win .! ter through ; to effect which purpose they ; ; arc in >st conveniently packed in boxes in the cellar. The best substance t-> pack .' them in is damp moss finely broken up or j 1 pulverized. If it cannot be obtained from < : swamps, the green moss from woods an- i [ j swers equally well. The grafts should be . ; completely and compactly imbedded in this ! ; moss. If this cannot be obtained, slightly ' I moist sawdust will answer, provided the boxes are small or holding not over a bush- I el, to prevent injury by heating. They ! should be occasionally examined to see if ; the proper degree of moisture is main tained. Moist sand will also answer the i same purpose. Grafts may be also kept buried in the following manner : Place ) them in a box open at the top, filling it till I within a few inches of the top. Secure them here by cross pieces, then dig a hole I on a very dry spot of ground, invert the box and bury them. The natural moisture . of the earth will keep them just l ight. ESITMATEH LOSS OF UATTI.K IX ENGLAND.— The losses to the farmers of England and j . Scotland already foot up to five millions of . dollars. If the devastations of this great I curse continue at the same rate of increase i for one year, it is estimated thai the loss , of the agricutural interest will amount to , . twenty millions of pounds or one hundred i , millions <>f dollars. It is a serious business I fast bringing ruin on many a prosperous farmer. If it conies here, shall we tam per with it, or stamp it out on the sp >t t The number of cattle carried off' by the plague within the last twenty years amoun ted to no less that a hundred thousand in one province of Tobolsk, Russia, tin- orig inal seat of this terrible scourge. W HAT no Ym no WITH SOAP Sens —Of them the Scottish Farmer says, although generally deemed only tit for being run off into the common sewer in the easiest and most expeditious manner possible, they are nevertheless highly I enefieial vegetable feeders, as well as useful insect preven tives Hence they should never be wasted, more especially by parties having garden's as their application to the ground, whether in winter or summer, will show beneficial ly not only on ordinary vegetable crops, but also onberry bushes, shrubs, border flowers and even window put plan's; while it poured or syringed over roses, cabbages, etc., they will prevent, or at least, mitigate the mischievous doings of the green flv and caterpillars.
