Thorough Cultivation-
But very few farmers in our country rea
lize the importance of thoroughly cultiva
ting the soil. At the West, farmers coyer
a vast amount of territory, simply taking
what nature produces,until the soil is worn
out, aud then move to new laud to go
through the same process again. At the
East, although farming has been better
conducted, and some attention has been
paid to improvement, yet, even there the
land is not thoroughly cultivated—does
not produce one-half as large crops as it is
capable, with thorough cultivation, of pro
ducing. Under the system of farming
which is generally practiced in this country,
the land wears out and the crops diminish
in quantity and quality. We know of large
fields in the "Connecticut River Valley,"
one of the best tracts of farming land in
this country, which have been rendered al
most worthless by the wretched system of
farming, which the owners followed. At
the South, as well as the West, and some
parts of the East, the "skinning" process
has been carried on until much of the land
is almost worthless.
Although our country has rapidly in
creased ia wealth and prosperity, and in a
comparatively short time become one of the
mightiest powers on earth ; and this pros
perity and power have been in a great
measure due to the agricultural employ
ments of the people,yet if the system ot far
ming now so extensively practiced contin
ues to be pursued, the time will come when
instead of sendiug a vast quantity of grain
to foreign lands, we shall be obliged to im
port for our own use. That time may seem,
and un loubtedly is,very far distant ; yet il
our population should, iu proportion to the
present number of inhabitants, increase as
fast for a century to come as it has for a
century past, and the mighty tide of immi
gration also continue, aijd the same system
of farming be continued, the truth of our
supposition will be realized. But if our
soil was thoroughly cultivated there would
be room and food for untold millions. Chi
na and Japan support millions of inhabi
tants on an almost incredible small area of
land. Our soil with the same thorough cul
tivation and the same amount of fertilizing,
would do the sanie. This is not a mere the
ory, but a fact the truth of which has often
been demonstrated.
Many of our readers can recall instances
where a farmer with a few acres of land,
which he thoroughly cultivated, made more
money than one with a large farm cultiva
ted in the usual manner. And what has
been doue on an individual, may also be
done on a national scale. With thorough
cultivation, and the proper application of
manure, large crops can be obtained, and
the land will steadily increase in value.—
We believe the great trouble with most far
mers is this— they have toej much land. Prob
ably two-thirds of the farmers of our coun
try would be benefitted by selling from
one-third to one-half their land, and thor
oughly cultivating the remainder. They
now plant so much that they cannot prop
erly tend it, and as a natural consequence,
weeds spring up, which injure the crop and
the land, and cause much trouble in future
years. This should not be the case ; weeds
should have no place on any farm. We are
well aware that the extreme high prices of
farm produce for a few years past lias in
duced many farmers to plant more land
than usual; but now we think the high
price of labor, with the downward tenden
cy of prices, should induce them to do their
work in a more thorough manner. The
maxim, "Anything that is worth doing at
all is worth doing well," is worthy the at
tention of every farmer. It is far more
profitable to thoroughly cultivate a small
farm, than to go over,in a slovenly manner,
a large one.
The fences cost much less on a small
farm than on a large one, and there is less
care and anxiety connected with it. With
thorough cultivation, we believe the same
amount of grass, grain and fruit can be
grown, and the same amount of stock kept
on fifty acres, for which one hundred are
now required. The advice we give our
readers who are farmers is this : Do not
buy land unless you absolutely ueed it. If
you now have more than you can thorough
ly cultivate,and can get a reasonable price
for it, sell it at once. Thoroughly cultivate
all your farm, use manure unsparingly, and
make it your aim to get the largest possi
ble returns from every acre of land you
own. This will, we think, lead you to cer
tain success in your occupation.
Shoeing Horses.
Were you to examine the first one hun
dred horses you meet that have been shod
for several years, you would scarcely find
one that has a natural, well-shaped hoof,
A friend brought me for examination, a
beautiful, spirited animal, that, without
perceptible cause, became so lame as to be
nearly useless. The owner feared a foun
der. On examination I found the farrier
had, by repeated close paring and rasping,
nearly ruined the beast. The enamel of the
hoof had been broken, and fine dirt was ir
ritating the "quick." The bottom of the
hoof had been shaved so thin that a light
blow between the frog and toe made the
animal cringe with pain. Another instance
of uial-practice that came under my notice
was of a horse that had a club foot, caused
by improper side-clipping. This horse had
by nature an uncommonly broad hoof, and
to remedy the defect the farrier had made
extensive inroads on the sides, and nature,
to restore the equilibrium, and reconstruct
the missing part, contracted the toe and
bulged the sides above where they had
been clipped, producing thus a great de
formity. Almost universally, where lame
ness occurs from flat foot, it is occasioned
by improper shoeing. Where this defect
exists, the heel should never be pared, and
(lie shoe should be made stiff enough to
prevent hard pressure on the heel, and it is
sometimes advisable to place the heel-cork
on one side of the shoe. Very bad cases
have been remedied by putting on a round
shoe, with leather or rubber between the
shoe and hoof, if too many nails are inser
t<-<l, the natural expansion of the hoof is
prevented, and disease or deformity must
ei sue ; more than five nails in a shoe can
never be needed, unless it be to hide clum
sy fitting. The weight of the horse is best
equalized by placing three nails in the out
er portion of the shoe, and two in the inner
portion, between (lie toe and commence
ment of the inner quarter.
The following rules are given by a dis
tinguished veterinary surgeon.
Ist. After having taken off the old shoe,
shorten the toe,and remove all the dead and
loose parts of the hoof. Do not cut the sole
or pare the frog unless the foot has receiv
ed an injury from a nail or otherwise when
it must be cut out.
2d. Let the shoe be of of equal thickness,
with the exception of the heel,which should
be rather thinner. The ground and foot
surface should be perfectly level. Too
many nails are objectionable, and those
ns-d should be kept as far as possible from
the heels
?-d for the hind feet there is no objection
to calkins, though they are of doubtful ben-
efit. Horses travel much better without
them. The hind shoes are made thicker at
the toes than at the quarters, and the nails
can be put closer t<> the heels without in
convenience.
4th. Siße clips should be avoided, they
destroy the hoof ; this is the case when the
nails are too close together. The fee should
never be rasped, as it destroys the enamel
of the hoofs, renders them brittle,and caus
es sandcracks and lameness.

Experiments in the Application of Manure.
Having read much, conversed much, and
thought much on this subject, I resolved to
experiment somewhat, for my own and oth
ers benefit, I divided a four acre lot, that
had long been used as a pasture, the soil
of which was clayey loam, with a slight
mixture of chalk and marl, resting at the
depth of some twenty inches on "hard-pan,"
with an occasional out-cropping boulder,but
free from small stones,into four equal parts.
Ou the first part I spread thirty loads of
good composted manure, aud then turned it
under. Part second I first plowed and then
.turned it under. Part second I first plow
ed and then spread with the same manure
as before, in like quantity, then harrowing
and cross-plowing both portions. Part
third I plowed, harrowed and cross-plowed,
then spread on the surface thirty loads from
the same manure heap as above. Part
fourth I plowed, harrowed and cross-plow
ed. without manuring,then sowed the whole
to oats, and stock with timothy and clover.
The yield of oats on pieces first and fourth
was very nearly equal, aud light ; that of
piece second was much better ; while the
third piece produced a heavy crop. After
harvest I drew and spread on the fourth
piece thirty loads of the same manure ap
plied to the other pieces, taking care io
spread it evenly over the young plants of
timothy and clover. When I cut my grass
the following year I got only a fair crop
from my first piece, where I turned tin? or
dure under the sod. The second acre,which
I enriched after the first plowing, was con
siderably better ; and the tlird, which was
manured after the piece was made ready to
sow, was a decided improvement on the
second ; while on the fourth piece, which
received the top-dressing,tiie grass was just
as heavy as could staud.and yielded a good
second crop.
The following is a synopsis of my con
clusions deduced from the above experi
ments :—On the first acre the manure was
buried too deep, and doubtless much of its
virtue carried away by the water-sources
which exist between the soil and "hard-pan."
On the second much of the manure was also
too deep to be taken up by the plant roots,
and shared the fate of the first. On the
third acre, the manure being harrowed in
with the oats and grass seed, gave to both
a vigorous growth ; while the manure on
the la6t piece, being applied directly on the
tender roots, protected them from the sun's
rays, and absorbed and retained the ammo
nia from the atmosphere, and drinking in
the dew and rain, it furnished immediately
the necessary food for the young plants,and
gradually decomposing aud entering the
soil directly about the roots, tended effect
ually to mature a rapid and splendid
growth. A PRACTICAL FARMBR.

Transplanting-
June being the month when the trans
planting of many kinds of vegetables in the
garden,and other plants in the field takes
place, perhaps a few thoughts and sugges
tions on tne subject would not be inappro
priate. It may appear to some to be some
what of an unnatural operation ; and to a
certain extent it is, as nothing of the kind
happens in nature. It is done to perfect
nature, or rather to assist nature to perfect
herself, by giving the plant those advan
tages which it can only enjoy under the
care of man. The tendencies and capabili
ties of plants are taken advantage of, to
serve our cwn purpose. Iu this cultivation,
we endeavor to induce the plant to a differ
ent growth from that in a wild or unculti
vated state ; but we should follow as near
as may be, natural laws in doing this. If
the roots are very much cramped or torn,
the growth of the plant suffers according
ly ;so also of the leaves. Plants absorb
moisture at the roots,and give it off through
the leaves. Now, it is a law of uature, if
a plant giv< s off more moisture than it takes
in, it will wilt as a consequence ; and this
takes place when plants are transplanted
in dry soil, A wet or moisture soil aud at
j mosphere is therefore the best, or most
; proper time for transplanting. The most
! careful taking up of plants will break off
i more or less of the small fibrous roots, and
oftentimes some of the larger roots. Wher
ever these are broken off, new fibres are
thrown out,which has a tendency to hasten
the growth and maturity of the plant ; and
or this reason, it is some instances advi
sable where an early maturity is desired,to
either chip the ends of tiie roots off a little,
or prick tliem out twice or more. As re
marked, a moist or damp time is the best
for transplanting ; yet it can be safely done
at any time, by taking proper precaution.
\\ hen the plants are getting large, and no
sight of immediate rain or wet weather,they
may be taken up with a small ball of earth
and transplanted very readily where but
few are to be done j whore many are to be
transplanted, this, on account of the labor
involved, would be impracticable. In such
a case, proceed in the following way :
\\ ith a watering pot or other sprinkler,
wet the plant bed thoroughly, then take
carefully therefrom, a few at a time, and
and carefully set in the gardener field as
desired. A careful hand should perform
the setting, followed by another to thor
oughly water them after setting ; as it is
better to set, and then water,than to water
the ground first. In the first inslance, the
soil fills in close around the roots, and the
water has tkejteudency of settling it still
closer about them \\ hen the soil is wet
previous to setting, it is apt to be sticky or
putty-like,and will adhere to the fingers,and
unless extra precautions are used, the ob
ject is badly accomplished. After having
est and watered plants thus, they should
be immediately covered with short hay, or
green grass, mhich is preferable to leaves
or the like, as either will suitaoly protect
the plant from the sun's rays, and in case
of rain or heavy dew, will readily admit its
passage through, and being absorbed by
the soil in contact with ths plant. In all
transplanting, the plonts should be set a
trifle lower tliau they stood in the seed bed ;
and should have the roots somewhat spread,
and filled iu around closely, with soil well
pressed up to them, by the observing of
which, little difficulty need be apprehended
of plants not living, always provided they
are well watered.

1 TWENTY-FIVE YEARS EXPERIENCE
. IN DENTISTRY—J. S. SMITH, M. D., would re
spectfully inform the inhabitants of Bradford County
that he is permanantly located iu Waverly, N.Y., where
he has been in the practice of his profession for the past
four years. He would say that from his long and suc
cessful practice of 25 years duration, he is familiar with
all the 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 and different
cases that present themselves oftentimes to the Dentist,
as he understands the art ot making his own artificial'
teeth, and has facilities lor doing the same. To those
requiring under sets of teeth he would call attention to
his new kind of work which consists ot porcelain tor
both plate and teeth, and forming a continuous gum. It
is more durable, more naturai 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. Chlorojoim, ether, aiul "Nitrous oxide"
administered with perfect safety, as over four hundred
patients within tbe last four years can testify.
I will be in Towanda from the 15th to 30th of every
mouth, at the office of W.K. TAYLOR, (formerly oc
cupied by Dr. O. H. \\oodruff:) Having made arrange
ments with Mr. Taylor, I am prepared to do all work in
the very best style, at his office.
