The Courtfry Gentleman publishes alt article on the above subject from Mr. Franklin Sherman, - of Ash Grove WIN' Fairfax. County, Virgin ia, which is of particular interest. Mr. Shernutzi-says:..!'l l .Y. wanted to know if wheat or rye would be bene fitted by harrowing in - the spring, if it was sowed broadcast and. covered either with - , the barrow or shovel :plow? If t have not heretofore oc-, cupied too much of your space: on this subject; will You allow me to say to him that it will not hurt either the wheat or the rye, however sowed or howevefoovered. Only two ,pre, motions I have found desirable to obserVe. Do not harrol when wet; and barrow befofthe stalk i§ fornied. "I have no hesiOition in offering P. Y. this advice, as I have done the same thing myself, and with only good results. After experimenting sufficiently to satisfy myself on _this point, I (two years ago) harrowed , a' field of wheat and rye which had been sowed broadcast and covered partly witlt , the harrow and, partly with shovel picots. The resalt was host satisfactory. " One other item is of importance —harrow thoroughly, lap sufficiently to break and pulverize the whole sur ' face. Advice given by the • editors of a paper like this shOuld,'-)3,bove ail other things, be safe; antlia this case as in others, that given P.( Y. is eminently so; when you say provid ed such a harrow is used as will not injure the plants. Will yon allow me to say to hin3,_and to all others thinking of harrowing their fall grain this spring, it is not necessary to get a smoothing' or sloping-tooth , bar row to do this work. . " A proper harrow for the 'purpose is, a sharp, upright, squarel-toothed one, of medium weight, with teeth three-quarters of an inch or one-inch iron, and projecting six to eight inches below the frame. If found too light for thorough work it can be weighted enough to. do it. I mention this kind first because it is the one 1 have used, and which has served me well ; seeond, the sloping-toothed barrows.l These have been so wide. ly recommended and advertised for thisispecial purpose as te need no words from me.' I have, however, seen grain field's so. crusted -in the, spring that an ordinary' smoothing harrow would not thoroughly bierck up the surface, and it is just at 'this time that a thorough harrowing is most beneficial. - "The fact that I would like to im press is, that harrowincr need not be omitted for lack of a certain kind:of harow. Nine times in ten the same harrow used to prepare the ground for sowing the grain will be equally used in cultivating/the • grain in . the spring. The proper,' time for this work is approaching, and if every farmer could/be induced - to harrow the land across his wheat add and note the result carefully, I think the practice / would become universal in two years." GENTLENESS IN lIANDLING.—Not even the cow should receive gentler handling than the sheep. Kindness is always well repaid by any of our domestic animals, but the ( sheep, be ing so shy an animal, it re quires spe cial exhibition of kiudness.lt should be so handled and treated as it will never be frightened at the approach 'of a person. Their treatment should be such as that they will actually learn to :entertain an affection for their keeper, and if they do, they will naturally be tame and docile. A flock of wild sheep is about the' most unprofitable investment that a farm er can make. They arercontinually getting themselves into some trouble, and causing great annoyance, if not loss, to their owner. We have seen some flockmen jump into a fleCk and pull and haul the not the wool, until the animals weret only half frightened to death, but suffered great injury otherwise. A sheep , should never he caught or . lifted by the wool. Some one has said that if any one doubts the impropriety of lifting a sheep by .the wool, juss l l4 him permit himself to be lifted by the , hsir, and it is a good suggestion. When sheep are thus caught and lift ed, the skin in some ,places is actual ly torn from the flesh, and if the in jury is not to that extent, - 'it cannot but affect the flesh to some degree. A sheep should be lifted by placing the arms around the body near the forelegs. This is the easiest way to do, especially with large sheep: To 'catch the animal, the hands should be thrown about the neck, or else the sheep shou:d be caught' by the ,hind leg immediately above -the hock. This latter may be, done with ttie band or the crook, and when this way is adopted the utmost gentleness should be observed, and the sheep gently. drawn back until - the other hand can reach the neck.' It is scarcely necessary' to remind the keeper that when the crook is used upon a sheep which is closely ,sue rounded by other sheep, that great care must be exercised lest-the other sheep jump against the .o . ne caught or against the crook, 'in 'which case severe damage may be done.—West ern' Rural. PREPARATION OF POULTRY MANURE. --Frequent inquiries •are made throigh 'our agricultural journals how to dispose of fowl manure, what• crops it is best adapted to, etc. If there is suitable care in saving .this fertilizer it is one of the best ma nures made on the farm; but there must be roosts, and the fowls must be confined to them at night, under suitable shelter • where the droppings may be . kept dry and 'easily saved. Eowl manure and guano are identical in action.; the value of each seeming to be owing to the large amount, of ammonia whiCh it contains. Both are very powerful, and must be used - with extreme caution, after being re duced by mixture with ,'other sub stances which will , cause them to part with their atbstic qualities gradually. 'or this purpose, finely pulverized clay, dry loam, muck and gypsum are good. Lime, wood ashes and like substances are not economical for mixing .with fowl droppings, as they weaken the strength by liberating or drivitig off the ammonia. Properly, prepared, fowl manure may be applied to any erop, field or garden, but it is more economically aWied in tile hill or drill. As to saving it, probably as easy and good a way as any is to have a tight floor beneath the :roosts to receive the droppings; over this spread thinly's sprinkling of earth or muck, and as often as once a peek clean the whole .off and and .deposit it in , a - bin, or in a pile, where it will remain ftee from moisture till desired - for use. Just before wishing to use it, spread It 04 tele at it s tight 600 4 a Vine, and fine 11'4 , pounding and 'Waking all lumps, so that it will pass through a sieve of one-fourth inch Mesh, and mix well. When completed, let the mixture be - preportioned nearly as fellows: One part of droppings to two of earth or miick, and if one'part - of plaster to one of droppings is add ed, it will be the better. This may now be applied at the rate of o!e gill, or, a .trifle more, to the bill of emit, or in like proportion to other crops; but it is better that the- seed should not come in contact with' it, but that there be a covering of soil between. When carefully saved, as above; tieenty-flve 4fowlc will furnish manure sufficient for an acreof corn, producing an effect equal „to that of the best fertilizers. Ifoine-made ma nure is , the cheapest, and generally the best--we certainly know its coin position--and should be relied on ,4s far as can be in preference to buying fertilizers.— W. H. White in Country Gentleman. . Eradicating Oats& Thistles. There have been of lite several ar ticles in the Country ,Gentleinan touching this Pest of the farm and how to exterminate theth. One arti cle told us , how to utilize them. and seemed rather to -"court , their intro duction on the farm for 'plowing un der as a green crop to enrich the land instead of ,clover. It is very singular what a diversity of opinion there is as to what constitutes - good farming, and it is still more singrilar_ in this age of agricultural improve ment, that any farmer can be I,dund who would welcome this pest on his farm to enrich it, instead of a clover ley. If this apologizer for - thistles had ever worked among them with as great discomfort as I did when a boy, when most of the grain was cut with a sickle, and men would reap and bind with leather mittens reach ing to their elbows, I am sure he would detest their presence , in his land. The great desideratum of a progressive farmer is to cleanse his land to the greatest possible extent afoul and noxious weeds thatchoke the groWth of useful plants and heti>. age. Thistles will not often}' spread all over a farm.lilte the whitedaisy, but still they-are very tenacious of life. Forty years - ago, I took a new plat for kgardeuj and part of it was full of thistles, and daring all . of these years it has been well cultivated and highly manured, but still every year 'a few • thistles show themselves. Some. years ago, - I had a thrifty patch of thistles in a hoed crop, 'and two good dressings did not seem 'to put them 'back. very. much. I erect over the patch every week with a sharp hoe, until frost came, and cut off all that came up. - The result was that during the next season not a ;thistle was seen, but the second sea `eon a few plants made their appear ance. - High manuring and-heavy seeding for meadow, will very much reduce them.. .Mowing them- when in-. full blossombefore t 'the seed is ripe,- will materially check their growth: The philosophy of this is, the severing , of all noxious weeds,' briers, elders and brush from the parent• root, when they are the fullest of sap, before the seed is ripe and the foliage .deCays, cuts off allnourishment. that would otherwise return to the root in the fall, and. enable it to - send up in* the spring a_ fresh supply of juice fOr. the season's growth. It is just as neoes sary for vegetation to have commu nication with . the. atmosphere iiy the foliage, as , it is for' animal life to have air to.inflate the lungs.' I have .tried thorough summer 'fallow, with good results,. which; perhaps; is as cheap a protecsa : as any to mitigate any .pest inlifir land. However much we., extirpate any noxious weed in ourland, we must follow our vant age ground by persisting in our ef forts to clean culture year by year. The most . persistent efforts. of the philanthropists of our land to 'form salutary laws to suppress moral evil, do not Wholly prevent it, but hold it in check; so- the most painstaking agriculturist cannot.. wholly or, per fectly rid his farm* of every fohl plant, but be ,ean. prevent. its spread, keep it ander-his tontrol and not let 'it get the maitery Over lika.,—Hirant Walker in Country Gentleman.
