There are many farmers who think
it unnecessary to give a drink of water
to a pig, but who consider the slop it
receives as ample for its needs, or that
when a pig is fattening dry food only
Is needed and that water makes soft
pork. There are many more who are
liardly so ignorant as this yet act pre
cisely as though they were and neglect
to provide any water for their stock
hut what they can procure from pond
holes or sloughs. Tho consequence in
disease and death. Pure water is in
dispensable to the health of all kinds
of stock,
Extra Oiiltnre.
Professor Roberts, of Cornell uni
versity, says in an article upon " Extra
Culture:" Herein, I am satisfied,
lies the secret of England's success in
raising large crops. It would take
away the breath of a prairie farmer to
hear even an Englishman's enumera
tions of tho "spuddings," the " grub
lungs," the " twitching,' the harrow
ings, the cross-harrowing, the roll
ings, the crushings that a heavy clay
field is subjected to before it is con
sidered fit for wheat. What is all that
for? Simply to unlock the full store
house of nature. That it is full has
been proved time and time again. 15y
actual analysis it is found that an
average soil contains in the first six
inches plant food enough for from
fifty to one hundred and fifty full
crops of grain. 1 do not desire
to discourage tho purchase and use
of fertilizers, but what I do pro
test against is purchasing on time com
mercial manures at $10 per ton to en
rich cloddy fields already rich in plant
food, locked up, it is true, but there
none the less, only awaiting a little ju
dicious application of brain and muscle
to set it free. If these hastily jotted
facts and impressions are the means
of inducing my fellow farmers to re
move some of the useless trees and
fences, or to give the fields an addi
tional cross harrowing or two before
carting in the seed and asking the Lord
to bless the labor of their hands, my
object will have been attained.
Iii k.-Vlinl Is .Hiirkf
In England muck means manure.
In "I'ilgrim's Progress," "the man
with the muck-rake" was searching
for good in the gutter's filth; but not
finding that lor which he searched.
" Muck is money," is an English farm
er's proverb, tho meaning of which
is clear enough. When agricultural
writers in America talk about muck
they mean swamp muck, and by this a
substance of a peaty character, rich in
humus, of a dark brown or nearly black
color, consisting of the remains of
plants which have undergone partial
decomposition under the constant in
lluenco of water. This has no con
stant composition or appearance other
than indicated. In peat-beds the true
peat is often several feet deep, and
there may be a good deal of similar
material which is crumbly, more or
less mixed with eartli or sand,
and unlit for fuel Other deposits
abound in which there isnopeat fit to use
as fuel, but with an abundance of other
material useful to farmers and properly
enough called muck. This is black
soil, at least half of which will burn
away when dry. It often dries hard,
like clay or bricks. It crumbles under
tho inlluenceof frost and air and often
simply by drying. This substance, in
cluding all varieties of peat, is or may
be made useful in every soil not of a
peaty nature to begin with. It is often
rich in nitrogen, the most costly ingre
dient of fertilizers, often contains phos
phate of lime and other valuable ash
ingredients. 15y its decomposition in
tho soilits absorbent action, its promo
tion of other decompositions and
changes in the soil, its presence is al
ways beneficial. Under some peculiar
circumstances these effects are hin
dered, probably by the presence of or
ganic acids in the peat. To such peats
and mucks the term "sour" is fitly ap
plied by farmers. They may, however,
be neutralized, or, so to speak, sweet
ened by lime. Fresh burnt lime rap
idly absorbs water and falls into a fine
dry powder. The muck is spread in
layers a few inches in thickness, and
lime in this form is spread thinly over
it. It is not necessary to be ac
curate in regard to proportions, but
best to be uniform. If the muck layer
bo about four or live inches.thick, half
a bushel of lime will be sufficient for a
space of ten feet by ten, or 100 square
feet, and may even be used for double
that area. The muck being piled up
in layers each receiving its quota of
lime becomes changed more easily
pulverized and disintegrated, equally
useful as an absorbent, and a superior
ingredient of composts.
The muck or peat of some localities
may be applied directly to the land,
either fresti dug, if dry enough to haul,
in which condition it is best to apply it
in the autumn, so that it may become
ameliorated by the frosts and thaw
ings of winter, or aftur such weather
ing. Other kinds of muck cannot bo
used advantageously without compost
ing with lime or manure, or with
ashes, or some other active substance,
while that of some localities applied
raw is positively deleterious to the
crops of the first year.
As a general rule muck may be made
most useful in ordinary farm opera
tions by mixing it with manure from
the stable, in the cow-yard, the pig
pens or the sheep-yards, and it is safe
to say that the addition of muck of
good quality in this way may easily
double or triple the value of the ma
nure made upon the farm. That is, a
yard capable of furnishing under ordi
nary circumstances 100 loads of ma
nure, maybe made to furnish twice or
three times as much, both in quantity
and value.- American Agriculturist.
Farm and (tardea Note.
Stockmen should not forget that it
costs no more to keep good cows, horses,
sheep, swine and poultry than poor
ones often not so much and the
profit from them is much greater. Bear
this in mind in purchasing.
Old meadows should iiave a sprink
ling of fine manure early in the autumn
to give the grass a good start again be
fore winter. We do not believe in pas
turing meadows much, if any, after
the hay crop has been removed.
When potatoes are ripe and the tops
become dry they should be at once dug
and put into a cool cellar. It is best
to put them in small bins.' Great care
should be used la diggipg not to cut or
brule tho tubers, which hUstens de
cay. A solution of one part irmrlato of
potash diluted in 1,000 parts of water
is recommended na an insecticide for
cabbage and currant worms and the
like. It is also good as plant food, so
that what falls to the ground is not
wasted.
American farmers do not value clover
hay as highly as tho English do. Tim
othy is considered much inferior to
clover by them: much superior by vs.
Clover sells in England for about t wen
ty per cent, more than timothy. Prop
erly cured It is a valuable crop.
Many orchardists say it is not best to
renew the orchard by planting in young
trees Where old ones have died and been
cut down. To a certain extent the
elements suited to growth in the apple
wood have been extracted from the
soil and insect enemies have found lo
cation there.
A lady florist writes as follows : I
would say to those who are troubled
with the little flies about their plants
in the winter, that since I have com
menced using separate saucers with
my pots, and taken to watering my
plants from the bottom, by filling the
saucers with boiling water I am not
troubled with the little Hies, and I
think the plants do much better
watered in this way than by pouring
the water on the top.
Professor Henry says: I would
urge that our farmers feed more oats to
young stock, colts as well as calves.
There is no food easily obtainable that
ill so well correct acidity of the
stomach and keep the whole system in
good order. To those who wish to raise
calves on very little milk, I would say,
use oats and oil meal freely, and by
studying the wants of your calves you
will be able to raise fine animals on a
small allowance of milk.
The fuchia, says Vick's Magazine,
likes a slight shade and a cool soil,
and then, provided with moisture, it
will stand as high a temperature as
may prevail. Place the plants in the
open, a little shady, such a place as
the north side of a house furnishes,
and there is no fear but they will do
all one may expect from them. If
they are to remain on the piazza or tho
window-sill, the pots should bo sunk
up to the rim in a box of soil which
can be kept moist ; then, if the drain
age is kept open, they will hold their
foliage and flourish.
Mr. Wright recommends the follow
ing for poultry cholera, to be given
every three hours: "llliubarb, five
grains; cayenne pepper, two grains;
laudanum, ten drops; administering
midway between every two doses a
teaspoonful of brandy, in rather less
than its bulk of water, with five drops
of McDougal's fluid carbolate in each
dose. Carbolic acid, in small doses,
may be substituted for the carbolate,
if not accessible. The yards should be
disinfected with carbolic acid as a
measure of prudence, and for the same
reason it is better to separate the sick
from the well fowls, although the dis
ease is not proven contagious." Any
treatment, to be effective, must be be
gun at an early period.
One can form but an imperfect
estimate of the value of a field of roots
by knowing the weight of the largest
one grown. Very large roots do not
mean very large returns ; medium
sized roots and more of them are a
more paying crop. Other things re
maining the same, the size of the roots
depends upon the thinning. At this
season of the year, when the roots are
growing vigorously, they should be
thinned, so that they shall have a
space between them in the rows equal
to their own diameter, and no more.
It is better for the roots to be ten than
fourteen inches apart in the rows. If
the thinning be carried beyond this
they grow large and coarse, and will be
much less valuable food than the
smaller ones.
Ileripes.
Conx Mrsn. Put a quart of water
on to boil; stir a pint of cold milk with
one pint of corn meal and one table
spoonful of salt. When the water boils
pour in the mixture gradually, stirring
well; boil half an hour, stirring con
stantly. .Stuffed Steak. Make a stuffing
of bread, herbs, onions, salt and pop
per; spread over the steak, which
should be an inch thick. Poll it up
and tie tightly with cord. Pake or
stew slowly for two hours. Serve with
brown gravy.
Dimei) PiEEF. Shave the beef and
pour cold water over it, place on the
fire and let it come to a boil; repeat
this process twice; pour off the water
and cover well with rich fresh milk.
AVhen it comes to a boil season with
popper and butter and thicken with a
little flour. Pour over buttered toast
and serve hot.
Spiced Apples. Spiced apples are
very appetizing, and the new and usu
ally almost tasteless early apples can
be prepared in this way: Take four
pounds of apples (weigli them after
they are peeled), two pounds of mitir,
half an ounce of cinnamon in the
stick, one quarter of an ounce of cloves
and one pint of vinegar; let the vine
gar, spices and sugar come to aboil;
then put in the whole apples and cook
them until they are so tender that a
broom splint will pierce them easily.
These will keep for a long time in a
jar. Put a clean cloth over the top of
the jar before putting the cover on.
Early pears may also be spiced in the
same way, and are nice for dinner or
tea.
Household HiiilH. (
In boiling meat, etc., or even clothes,
turn a plate bottom side up and put it
on the bottom of the kettle to prevent
its contents from burning.
To remove ink stains from cloth, dip
the stain in hot fat, lard or tallow and
when cold wash out in hot water and
it will usually remove the stain.
Satin tidies and table scarfs may be
renovated by taking a hot iron, placing,
a wet cloth over it and holding the
satin in the steam, the wrong side near
the heat.
It you are baking bread turn the
loaves top side down in the hot tins
and let them stand a few moments.
This will make the crust very tender
and they will cut easily.
