gtflriflttUwraL Farm Implements and Machinery. Within the past thirty years there has been a great improvement in the construc tion of farm implements and machinery.— New machines have been invented,all farm implements greatly improved, and there is now no excuse for farmers to be without a good set of tools aud all necessary machin ery with which to conduct their business. But farmers, as a class, are very slow to avail themselves of the aid afforded by ma chinery, aud here may be found one reason for their want of success. The manufactur er, who should have all his work performed by hand, would at once fall far behind one who used improved machinery—he could not compete with him even for a single month. In a less degree, the same is true of the farmer. It is only the man who seiz es upon all the aids afforded by machinery, aud placed within his reach, that can stand high and find the greatest amount of pleas ure and profit in his department of labor. Machinery costs something to be sure, but its use enables the farmer to perform his work easier and better, and cither saves the employment of much hired help, or ena bles him to conduct a much larger business. But it is not only important to have ma chinery, but also to get the best in the mar ket. There is so many different patterns of all kinds of machines, that it is often diffi cult to tell which will give the best satis faction. It will pay to inquire of farmers who have used machines, how they like them, and also to examine their work. On no account, buy what you know, or have good reason to believe, is a second rate machine,eveu though you can buy it cheap. Get those machines, and only those which are likely not only to do the work well, but also to prove durable. If you need any machines this season,we should advise you not to wait till after the great trials which are expected to take place but buy as soon as you find a pat tern that suits you, aud that has a good reputation. If you do this you will be sure of having your machines when you want to use them, while if you wait to find out which is the successful competitors, there will be such a demand for them you may fail to obtain one. Next in importance of obtaining good implements comes the prop er care of them. We know farmers who let their plows, wagons, horse-rakes and mowing machines stand out doors all win ter. This not only looks slovenly, but is decidedly unprofitable. A wagon or ma chine is not injured as much by decent use in three years as by standing out in the storms of one winter. When not in use,all farming tools ought to be kept under cover. They should be repaired as soon as they get out of order ; a little attention at the l ight time is cheaper and pleasanter than a break down when you are in a hurry. Mow ing machines, wagons and carts,when used ought to be often oiled, and always kept from the rain. And now, if you have, or buy good tools, and take good care of them, you will be in a condition to make your la bor easy, pleasant and profitable. Maxim for Fanners. An old Illinois farmer gives the following maxims for farmers to practice -. When you wake up do not roll over, but roll out. It will give you time to ditch all your sloughs, break them up, harrow them, and sow them with timothy and red clover. One bushel of clover to two bushels timothy is enough. Make your fence high, tight and strong, so that it will keep cattle and pigs out. If you have brush, make your lots secure,and keep your hogs from the cattle, for if the corn is clean they will eat it better than if it is not. Be sure to get your hands to bed by sev en o'clock, they will rise early by the force of circumstances. Fay a hand, if he is a poor hand, all you promise him ;ifhe is a good hand,pay him a little more ; it will encourage him to do still better. Always feed your hands as well as you do yourself, for the laboring men are the bone and sinew of the world, aud ought to be well treated. I am satisfied that gettiug up early, in dustry, and regular habits are the best medicines prescribed for health. V\ hen it comes rainy, bad weather, so that you eanuot work out of doors, cut and split your wood. Make your tracks when it rains hard, cleaning your stables, or fixing something which you would have to stop the plow for aud fix in good weather. Make your tracks, fixing your fences or gate that is off its hinges, or weather-boar ding your barn where the wind has blown off the siding or patching the roof of your house or barn. Study your interests closely, and don't spend money and time in electing presi dents, senators and other small officers, and don't talk of hard times when spending your time in towu whittling on store-box es. Take your time aud make your calcula tions ; don't do things in a hurry, but do them at the right time, and keep your mind as well as your body employed. My Experience with Manure. One of your contributors inquires wheth er manure spread on in the fall should be plowed in or left exposed to the rain and sun for six months. I say plow it in,by all means, and I speak from experience. I will state a few particulars. 1 had a piece of land well manured in the fall. I plowed three-fourths of it then, aud the remainder in the spring. I sowed both pieces with grain. That plowed in the spring did not produce more than half the quantity to the acre that the other did ; neither was the grass so good until plowed again. Twenty-one years ago I took a piece of land, spread the manure on the grass and plowed it in. I then plowed another piece the same depth, spread on the dressing and harrowed it 1 then sowed them both with oats and grass seed. The oats yielded equally. The grass was better the first year where it was spread on the surface, but held out better when it was plowed in, and when plowe 1 again was very much better. I have managed other land in the same manner,and in all cases have received a more bountiful crop, where the dressing was plowed in,than where it was left on the surface. Six years ago 1 took a piece of clayey land, spread manure on the grass, then plowed it six inches deep. On another piece close by 1 spread manure as before, and harrowed it in. I then sowed with bar lew and grass seed. The barley yielded about equally, but the grass was better the first year, where the dressing was only harrowed in. The second year it was much better where it was plowed in,and has con tinued good ever since. The other, last year, (the fifth year,) began to run out,and was covered with wiregrass ; while in the other case the grans wan as well seeded as it was the first yi-M Jhe contrast between them is so great,as to be clearly perceptible from toe road, a distance of sixty rods M'j •. <•> . Purtturr How to Hoe Corn. When I was a boy, and first went into the field to hoe corn, I was quite puzzled to know what my father meant when he di rected us to be sure and "hoe where the corn wasn't." Bnt after following him a few days aud noticing the pains he took to have all the ground well stirred as well as the weeds cut up, and particularly when I saw how careful he was not to disturb the ground deeply very near the young plants, I understood his meaning. In a long ac quaintance with corn I have observed enough to make me think he was tight. The weeds must be cut up,root aud branch, to have good corn, that's certaiu, and the ground must be loose enougli to let the heat go in, and the moisture to pass up from below ; and to allow the spreading roots to make their way easily through the soil in search for good picking. But I've seen a good many dash away with their hoe close around the stalk, when every cut there, if two inches below the surface, must have broken a number of the growing roots. It certainly cannot be of much use to feed corn well, if you then go right to work and cut off its mouths ; for the roots are mouths to the plant. So I always cultivate lightly where the roots have extended, which is about the length that the stock is above the ground, and when the corn is up breast high, I wouldn't let a man go through my field with a plow, if he'd pay wages for do ing it and find himself. Ido not believe in hilling corn—making the field like a crop of young flag staffs planted on small pinna cles. The crop has grown up into the air where it is intended to stay, and it isn't natural to partially bury it alive. People do it to prop it up, so that the wind will not level it. But if it be left alone it will do its own propping by sending out extra roots just above the surface, which go out aud anchor it all around. I have seen a field that was hilled laid flat by a storm, while the next to it, that grew naturally, stood up after the blow as a militia captain on a training day. When it is hilled it will try to send out a second growth of support ing rots but neither the first nor the second will then become strong enough to be of much use, I therefore try to leave my ground nearly level, and thus also save the roots the trou ble of diving down again to get below the gullies which are sometimes left after the first plowing.— Selected. Raising and Training Oolts. The younger the education of any animal commences the easier will its training be, and its habits more certainly fixed. A horse learns the greater part of his good,or evil habits, before he is three years old ; for this reason, he should be well broke be fore he arrives at that age. At the age of one month, put on a leather, or web halter, without the hitching strap,and let it remain on,and you can have control over him when you wish to handle him. To lead, or tie him, have a leather strap with a buckle or clasp on one end, to fasten ir.to the halter ring. A rope should never be tied around the neck. After becoming somewhat ac customed to the halter, and to being led, etc.,tie him beside Iris dam at feeding time ; observing him to prevent him pulling back at the halter. By kind, firm treatment,you can accomplish more than by abuse of any kind, to either dam or colt. At the end of six or seven months the colt should be weaned using care to keep him out of sight aud hearing of the dam for several weeks. Give him plenty of clean hay, and a few bruised oats, or chopped carrots, also fresh water daily ; increase his feed as he in creases in size. Strong feed and good shel ter will facilitate the forming of bone and muscle, upon which his future usefulness depends. A feed of cut straw and chopped stuff several times a week, will tend to keep his system cool and prevent the lam pas ; should they appear, soft feed and an occasional bran mesh should be given,until the iampas disappear. During winter nights,and on stormy days at any season, the colt should have shelter. A loose box or stable in which iie can lie without tieing is best ; next, a good wide stall in a stable well lighted, drained and ventilated. For tying, the best plan is to have a staple and ring attached to the man ger ; pass the halter strap through the ring aud tie to a small weight, heavy enough to keep tho strap always tight ; the strap should be long enough for the colt to lie down with his head fiat on the floor. The stall should be kept well littered at night, and perfectly clean during the day. The litter should be thrown out of the stable in the morning to dry, before using at night. A frequent sprinkle of the floor with some good deodorizer will absorb and destroy noxious gasses, and prevent their injurious effects to the eyes and lungs. By frequent ly putting on the harness, or saddle and bridle, aud letting them remain for half an hour, the colt becomes soon accustomed to them. It is better to train him to use with out blinders on the bridle, and with a slack check rein. At the age of three, the colt may be trained to light work for a few hours a day, though it is better to wait a few months longer. The subsequent train ing depends upon the use the horse is in tended for. HORSEMAN. DRY EARTH AS A DEODERI/.ER. —Dry earth of a loamy sort, is the most convenient and attainable deodreizer which the farmer can use in many places about his premises. The hen house should he floored with this ma terial, and if it is stirred up every day with the hoe no disagreeable smell will eininate from the hen-manure. In due time the earth will be formed into a very rich ferti lizer, especially valuable for the garden. Loam may also be used with good results at the outlet of the drain from the house sink—down which so much of the soapsuds flows—and also that, if you have one, from the barn-yard, which often eairies away a stream of liquid manure. In these positions the loam retains all the manural iugrcdi ents cast upon it, turns dark in color, and becomes extremely rich. When thorough ly saturated it should be removed,and fresh put in its place. Dry loam is also excellent to mix with night soil in the vault. THE BITTER MAKER'S GOLPEN 11UI.ES. —The great secret in butter making,it seems,con consists in attending to the following points. Ist. Securing rich, clean, healthy milk— obtained on old pastures, free of weeds. •id. Setting the milk in a moist,untainted atmosphere, aud keeping it at an even tem ature while the cream is rising. 3d. Proper management in churning. 4th. Washing out the buttermilk thor oughly, and working so as not to injure the grain. • >th. Thorough and eveu incorporation of the salt, ami packing in oaken tubs, tight clean and well made. Cleanliness in all the operations is of im perative necessity. Judgment and experience in manipula ting the cream and working the butter must of course be used.— Williard.
