g^ticulfutal Resources of Farm Manure. This subject is always in order among farmers whose soil has been long under Cultivation, and its fertility partially ex hausted. Western farmers occupy a vir gin soil, who a few years since thought there was no use for it, and moved their barns to get out of the way of its accumu lation, begin to see the utility of saving ar.d applying it ; they find that better crops are raised with it. 1 shall not at tempt to suggest anything new,for it would seem impossible after all that has been said and written on the subject : but a fre quent reiteration of similar precepts may induce some one to adopt a better system of saving and applying his manure. Does the reader make the most of his resources ? Is there nothing left that can be converted into fertilizing material ? When every re source is exhausted, then it is time to re sort to commercial fertilizers. How is it with the hog-pen ? Is that well supplied with good material to absorb the liquid as well as ammonia ? A free supply will tend to keep 'he hogs clean and furnish a quan tity of rich mauure. Then there is the privy, which is too fre quently allowed to waste its ammonia, in stead of having absorbents supplied to fix it. A tight vault, into which dry muck, plaster, loam, Ac., may be introduced and mixed, will supp.y several loads of pou drette, superior to what the market affords, with little labor. The hen-roost will sup ply several barrels oi good guano,the qual ity < f which there is no question, when home-manufactured,by supplying dry loam, plaster, &c\, with frequent overhauling.— A pit so constructed that it may receive all the slops and wash from the house with out waste, will, by filling in loam, muck, fine coal dust, Ac., give several loads of rich material suitable to be applied to any garden or field crop. Wood ashes, com posted with dry muck, or loam, bones bro ken aud mixed in a cask with fine loom and kept constantly wet with urine will disolve and make good bone phosphate. Then of tentimes animals die from accident or dis ease, which may be converted into manure by being cut up and composted with some of the various absorbents to be found 011 every farm. Urine of all kinds is the most valuable of manures, and should be saved by having absorbents applied as bedding ; when it is convenient stables should be so arranged as to be drained into pits or tanks. Were every farmer to save what is at pres ent wasted, the inquiry "Where shall I get fertilizers for my ground, that 1 may have the wherewith to grow good crops ?" would be less frequently heard. — Boston Cultiva tor. Training Heifers In my own experience—not a short one —I have found a great majority of the faults or vices of cows to arise from the wyrse faults or vices of those who rear and usfe them. Kindness to all dumb animals, should be the first law of their government; and when kindness and good management fail to make the cow, indisposition,be what she ought, her case may as well be given up, and herself consigned to the shambles. I have reared a great many heifers into milking cows—hundreds of them—and sel dom had a failure, not only in a good milk er, but in a kind-tempered, orderly animal. More co%vs are spoiled with their first ' com ing in" than at any other age. To make the matter plain, 1 will give my own meth od of treatment. After the creature is past a year old, at her second wintering, my heifers are tied ; regularly in the stable, as are the milking cows. This accustoms them to handling, and the familiarity of the herdsman, and where they can be daily examined for every ail that may occur to them. When they j begin to "spring bag" for calving they should be closely looked after, to see that ; the udder is coming into right shape and condition tree from inflamation, "cake," or other disorder ; and if such occur,the prop er remedy—as sotting and annoinling with fresh butter, oil, salt and water, or other emolient—should be applied, so as to keep it always in a pliant and healthy condition. Sometimes the flow of milk into the udder ot the young h iter before calving will be so free, that it is necessary to draw it oflt daily for days before slie drops the calf, or otherwise the bag would inflame and spoil. All these difficulties cause pain, irritation and fret fulness in the young animal, from which she is only relieved by these atten tions ; and which, if not relieved of them, spoil her outright. If thus properly trea ted, the young creature comes in with her first calf a fine, amiable, kindly, useful cow. The herdsman having done his duty, there is usually little difficulty thereafter. My cov s arc dways in summer, as well as winter, driven into and it their usual stalls in the night and morning, for milking : the reason for this is, that they are thus aheays\under control; no fright, no jumping, and ruuniog away, with a milk ing stool vengefully thrown after them by the exasperated milker, and a muss, per haps, with half the other cows before the offending animal is brought to her duty. But this one would kick with all sorts of treatment, though never chastised with more than a few strokes of a light switch when the most soothing efiorts were expen ded in vain. We finally tried another way. 1 bought what an English herdsman calls "a pair of bull dogs." It is an instrument frequently found in the agricultural stores for holding cattle by the nose on the prin ciple of a pair of pincers, the short handles of which are kept apart by spiral wire springs, causing the pincer points to press near together when claping the thin mem brane of the nostril behind the nose. These points are rounded into the size of a com mon musket ball, being of east iron, and the whole weighing scarcely half a pound. The extreme) ies of the handles are perfo rated,so as to let a small rope pass through them : and when once inserted into the nostril, the points press closely, hut not painfully, by the spring keeping apart the handles. Thus the cow becomes entirely under control, so far as the head is concerned. Into these handles a rope is fixed,and thrown over a pole, or bit of scantling placed over the manger, the nose raised to nearly a horizontal line with the horns, and fasten ed. The whole operation does not take a minute. In this position she cannot kick, if she tries. She may lift her feet, and whisk her tail, and fret a little,but kick she can't. She has never kicked, so secured— although, if let loose, both pail and milker would soon be on the other side of the sta ble. She is so tractable with this long continued discipline that the moment the the milker approaches with his "hull-dogs" she holds out her nose as kindly as if to re ceive a caress or a favor, and yields her bountiful flow of milk as graciously as the kindest cow in the stable. A rope around the horns, running d iwu and made a slip noose over the nose, will answer the same purpose. It may he *aid this is a peculiar case. Try it. Any cow can thus he deprived of the power of kicking An/ creature, in or der to kick, must hold its head low or iu a natural position, Kicking is an unusual effort of the animal, and that the heel may be raised for such put-nose,requires a strong effort of the spine, tl rear of which must be somewhat elevated—and, to make that effort, the head and neck must be towered ; but the nose lifted to this horizontal posi tion, the power to kick ceases.— AX OI.D FARMER, in N. Y. Observer. Manureing and Cultivating Trees. The difference between quackery and reg ular treatment is, the former applies reme dies indiscriminately, while the latter ad ministers according to certain and specific wants, When the farmer breaks his wag on the quick would proceed by driving nails here and there all over it, hoping ac cidentally somewhere to reach the fracture. The regular repairer first ascertains where the difficulty lies,and then proceeds at once to correct it. It is somewhat thus in the cultivation of ot fruit trees, particularly with those sorts like the dwarf pear, which will not flourish under neglect. We often see directions on the precise amount of manure which should be applied to the dwarf orchard—some de manding even as much as an annual coat ing of three or four inches around the tree to be worked into the soil,while others suc ceed with a very moderate application. Others, again, find, as they suppose, that manure is entirely unnecessary or detrim ental. One man appears to succeed as well with his apple orchard kept in grass close ly grazed by sheep "or swine, with only the top-dressing which these animals give, as another does with constant and mellow cultivation. These differences of treatment must depend much upon the character and natural fertility of the soil ; and to give precise directions that are require ! to be followed out in all cases, would be like is suing general instructions stating how many strokes of the whip must be given to i a horse in order to get a day's labor out of j him, without reference to his character for spirit or stupidity ; or like the orders of a j railway manager to apply the brakes every I fifteen minutes, without regard to an up | ward or a descending grade. We often receive inquiries as to the j amount of manure to be applied to trees. : The answer must be. Act according to cir | cumstances. The question a ain recurs, i Aow shall e know what our soils need ? j The answer is, Observe the results of | growth. An examination or analysis of i the soil will be of little use. But the trees : will tell their own story. If the soil is so rich that the trees make annual shoots of two or three feet or more in length,without any cultivation of manuring at all, (which, however, is hardly a supposable case,)then it will be needless to give additional care. The annual growth is the best guide to treatment. There are very few apple or other orchards which,after reaching a good bearing state, throw out annual shoots more than a foot or a foot and a half long, and many not half this length. The owner may lay it down as an unalterable rule that when his trees do not grow one foot annual ly, they reed more manuring or cultivation, or both. By observing the growth he can answer all questions of the kind referred to without difficulty. Perhaps it may be useful to remark on the different means of degrees for increas ing the vigor of trees : Ist. The weakest or most inefficient means is digging small circles with the spade around the foot of the stem, either with or without the addi tion of manure ; because the roots of a tree being at least equal each way to its height, reach out on all sides far beyond these cir cles ; and often not a fifteenth part of them are effected 2d. Better than the last named mode, is keeping the grass grazed short by swine or sheep—protecting the stems from injury with boxes or thorny brush—give annually in autumn a thin top dressing of manure. 3d. Where this treat ment does not impart sufficient vigor, then I the third remedy must be resorted to, viz., keeping the whole surface in a clean, mel low condition. It the soil is rich enough,it will d to raise beans or root crops,or even Indian corn —otherwise it should be left perfectly clean, and manure added annual ly if necessary. Thick dressings of manure applied in autumn and spaded under in spring, are only required for dwarf pears which have become stunted, in connection with free pruning, until shoots at least two or three feet are obtained Meadows or sowed grain should never be allowed in any orchard whatever. Country Gentle man. WHIPI-ED CREAM OR SILLABUB.— Put good cream, sweetened and flavored,into a pitch er,and whip it briskly with a whisk or egg beater. As fast as the frosts form, take it off and lay it into a glass bowl. IT should be accompanied by jelly,small fruit or sweet meats. STEAMED DUMPLINGS. —Two cups sour milk, one of cream, teaspoonful soda, thoroughly dissolved ; turn into flour and mix as you would biscut ; roll out and spread on what ever fruit you wish, then'rool it together and put in a cloth and stpam one hour.— Serve with sweetened cream. MILK RAISING BREAD. —Take two cups of boiling water, two cups of new rnilk, and one teaspoonful of saleratus—making a hat ter of it, and put it in a tin pail to rise. Keep the water a little more than luke warm. The cause of its turning acid is not being kept warm enough, and letting it stand to long. SAGO AND APPLE PUDDING.— Take six oun ces of sago, previously washed and picked, five large, rich apples, peeled, quartered and cored, and one teacupful of sugar. Pour boiling water on the sago ; let it stand till cold ; then mix in the apples and sugar, and bake about one hour. Bon. ED INDIAN PUDDING.— TWO coffee cups of sour milk, one cup of molasses, two cups of Indian meal, one cup of flour, one of suet chopped fine,saleratus to sweeten the milk ; salt to the taste Boil or steam four or five hours. Serve with liquid sauce. GRAHAM BREAD.— Take half a pint salt raising, one quart warm water, one teas poonful each of salt and soda, half cup of molasses, thicken with graham flour as thick as can be stirred convienently ; put into pans to rise. When light bake one hour with moderate fire. BISCUT.— Two-thirds pint buttermilk, half a pint sour cream, one teaspoonful soda or saleratus : dissolve the soda in a little milk and stir into the buttermilk and cream till it foams, then mix into a soft dough. Bake fifteen miuutes in a quick oven. PLAIN PUDDING. —A good batter of wheat en flour, with o- without fruit mixed in it, boiled, is very good. The pudding-bag should be always loose, also wet, aud the inside floured to prevent water getting to the batter. PEARL BARI.EV PUDDING. —Pick and wash half a pound of pearl barley ; soak it in fresh water over night ; pour off the water ; add one quart of new milk and a teacupful of sugar, and bake one hour in a slow r oven. tjariroarc.

F would re spectfully inform the inhabitants of Bradford County that he is permanantly located in Waverly, N.Y., wliere he lias been in tiie practice of his profession for the past four years. He would say that from his long and snc cessfnl practice of 25 years duration, he is familiar with nil 'he different styles of work done in any and all Den tal establishments in city or country, and is better pre pared than any other Dental operator in the vicinity to do work the best adapted to the many aud different cases that present themselves oftentimes to the Dentist, as he understands the art ol making his own artificial teeth, and has facilities lor doing the same. To those requiring uuder sets of teeth he would call attention to his new kind of work which consists of porcelain for both plate and teeth, and forming a continuous gum. It is more durable, more natural in appearance, and much better adapted to the gum than any other kind of work. Those in need of the same are invited to call and exam ine specimens. Teeth filled to last for years and often t mes for life. Chloroform, ether, and "Nitrous oxide'' administered with perfect safety, as over lour hundred patients within the last four years can testify.
