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.

HP WENT Y-FI-VE YEARS EXPERIENCE
A IN DENTISTRY.—J. S. SMITH, M. D. 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.
I will be in Tmvanda from the 15th to 30th of every
mon 111, at the office of W.K. TAYLOR, (formerly oc
cupiru by Dr. O. H. Woodruff. ) Having made arrange
ment.-, with Mr. Taylor, I am prepared to do ail work in
the very best style, at his office.
