TY TAXMEN TO Tay.
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

High manuring and-heavy seeding

philosophy of this is, the severing , of

they are the fullest of sap, before the

DRY .CONM—it is a common prac
tice among <some dairymen to give
their cows, while dry, but-scanty liv
ing. When a cow ceases to give milk
or is dried tip, any teed is consider
ed good enough for her. I think this
.
is ngreat.mistake, and the result is,
a diminished product of milk,. both
in quantity and quality, winn she .
does.conie in. There is a - large draft,
on the . 0 - Stem to sustain the calf
while the cow is
good
it,. and to
keep the cow in good condition e ' good
feed is as iMportant . as when -she is
giving milk. It is my opinion that
dollar's 'Worth of food when the
coy:- is dry is worth one dollar and a
half's worth after she comes . in. An .
ordinal in poor condition cannot edi
.gest',. as much food as one in gOod
condition, If the cow is poor when
she comes in she will not digest
enough food Co support . the system,
and at the same time to make a large.
quantity of milk. The practice of
turning cows out on poor teed while
dry, expecting to make up when they
come in, by. good feed, - is a very une
conomical one,. and will not be ftil
lowed by good and careful dairymen.
The way I treat my cows when they
get a calf is as follows: In the Sum
mer time I keep them in the stable
for two days, feed good hay, give
one quart , wheat bran morning, noon,
and . evening. In the winter time. 1
keep them three. days in the stable.
and with such - treatment I never had
a sick. cow. My father kept cows
forty-five yearS, and he always
_gave
them rye flour in the water; be never
lost a single cow, and - he owned as
high as thirty cows in one year.—

Tat Vardener's Monthly gives a
statement from Mr. G. IL Dykeman,
of Shippenaburg, Pa., of his experi
ments in applying oil to the trunks
of fruit treet—a practice which. has
been strongly recommended for its
benefiCial effects, among other things
as a protection against pear blight.
Mr..Dykeman applied oil last, year
to 600 peach trees, 200 apple, several
pear and plum trees, and-100 quince,
Alt the peach trees, fide years plant
ed, were killed ; the other trees were
not injured. Other peach trees were
panted with r..luse lard and linseed
oil; and these are all dead.'--The ob
ject in greasing was to keep the rab
