FARM AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
We invite communications f rem till pcrsonswho are
interested in matters properly belonging to this
department.
communicated.
Good fertilizers.
Lime and ashes are very good fertili
zers when applied alone or together, but
some farmers are in the habit of mixing
hen manure and ashes to put on their
oorn and all are not aware that ashes and
animal manure will not work together.
Hen manure alone, is too strotig, but
ashes cannot absotfb thestrength, but will
cast it in the atmosphere.
I consider rotten chip manure the best
thing to mix with hen manure. It should
be applied to corn in the hill when it is
dropped and should be covered so as not
to lose its strength.
" Small Farmer."
How im Keep Butter Sweet.
It is the easiest thing in the world.
Simply put in clean jars, and cover with
strong brine. This will keep pure but
ter a year, fresh and sweet, as we know
by experience. It is almost equally good
to put in oak casks,headed tight. This is
almost equivalent to canning fruit. The
brine, in case of jars, acts as a heading,
keeping the air out. But butter bhould
be made well ; we have never experiment
ed on poor butter. Work out the but
termilk till you have only pure " beads,"
-clear as rain water ; but do not work so
much as to break the grain, in which case
jou have a tough, heavy article in winter,
and grease in summer. Such butter we
advise no one to try to preserve.
Crop Items.
Melons do better in sandy than in any
other soil. Not so liable to insects.
Fruit growers are admonished to look
after the worms in their orchards. Now
is the time to destroy them.
Don't kill robins. For every cherry they
cat, they give you a peck of apples by the
insects which they destroy.
Put a strip of pasteboard tightly round
jour plum tree, cover it well with coal
tar, and the female curculio, which docs
all the mischief, will not be able to get at
jour fruit.
Dr. Warder thinks the increase of in
sects is the sole cause of the deterioration
of the apple crop of the Ohio Valley. 'A
united and vigorous effort should be made
for their destruction.
Carrots for Horses.
The value of carrots for horses i3 thus
stated in Youatt and Spooner's valuable
work on the horse, and similar statements
are made in other horse-books :
" The virtues of this root are not suf
ficiently known, whether of contributing
to the strength and endurance of the
sound horse, or the rapid recovery of the
sick one. To the healthy horse they
should be given sliced in his chalF. Half
a bushel will be a fair daily allowance.
There is little provender of which the
horse is fonder. The following account
of the value of the carrot is not exagger
ated : ' This root is held in much esteem.
There is none better nor perhaps so good.
When first given it is slightly diuretic
and laxative, but as the horse becomes
accustomed to it, theso effects cease to be
produced. They so improve the state of
the skin. They form a good substitute
for grass, and an excellent alterative for
horses out of condition. To sick and idle
horses they render grain unnecessary.
They are beneficial in all chronic diseases
connected with breathing, aud have a
marked influence upon chronic cough and
broken wind. They are serviceable in
diseases of the fskin, and in combina
tion with oats restore a worn horse much
nooncr than oats alone.' "
How to Kill Lice.
A correspondent of the Prairie Farm
er says :
" Tako hog's lard, melt it and mix with
a little sulphur aud apply the mixture
thoroughly to a space six inches wide on
cither side of the back-bone from the
head to the tail of the animal. Do this
ou a warm, sunshiny day, and if there is
a living louse on the animal, twenty-four
hours afterward, I wou't say that I will
cat it, but I will say that louse has a
stronger constitution than any other spe
cimen with which I have come in contact."
Forcing Radishes.
Radishes may be grown in a few days
by the following method :
Let some good radish seed soak in wa
ter for twenty-four hours, then put them
in a bag and exposo it to the sun. In the
course of tho day germination will com
mence. The seed must then be sown in
a well manured hot-bed, and watered from
time to time with lukewarm water. By
this treatment the radishes will, in a very
short time, acquire a sufficient bulk, and
be good to eat. Journal of Horticulture.
Sweeney.
As to that much talked of disease in
horses, Sweeney, Prof. Law, of Cornell
University, writes the N. Y. Tribune that
in many supposed cases the shrinkage of
the muscles of the shoulders is the result
of disease in the feet. If it be decided
that the disease is really Sweeney, he ad
vises applying a mild blister repeatedly
over the shoulder muscles, and giving
plenty of walking exercise on a smooth
road. Equal parts of the oil of turpen
tine, ammonia and olive oil may be rub
bed into the shoulder repeatedly.
To Extract Ink from Colored Articles.
Drop tallow on the stains, and soak and
rub the same with boiling milk. Effec
tual. Another mode is to gather tho leaves
of the wood sorrel, dry them in the sun,
powder them, and sprinkle the powder
thickly ou ink stains on colored prints,
etc. Pour boiling water upon the sorrel,
and after lying a short time the stains will
disappear.
