PLOWlNG. —Without elaborating the many 6trong points in favor of fall plowing, t few of the more prominent benefits . JB*}' b briefly stated as follows : 1. August and September is a good time t< turn over bound out sod land and raanurt and reseed it at once to grass, obtaining i> crop of hay at once the following year. 2. October and November is an exceller time to break up sod for planting the follow ing spring. 3. The weather is then cool and bracing, and the (earn strong and hearty for the work, while the weather in spring is more relaxing and tho team less able ; and spring work be ing always hurrying, it saves time to d'-- patch as much oi the plowing as possible dur iug the previous autumn. 4. Sod land broken up late in autumn wol be quite free from growing grass the follow ing spring, the roots of the late over turne' sward being 6o generally killed by the im mediately succeeding winter that not muc. grass will readily start in the spring. 5. The frost# of winter degenerate tbt plowed land, so that it readily crumbles n fine particles in spring, and a deep niello* seed bed is easily made. The chemical chan ges and modifications resulting from atmos pheric actiuti during the winter, develop la tent fertility in the upturned furrows, whict with the mellowing influences, materially in crease the crops. 6. Host kinds of insects are either wholly destroyed or their depredations materially checked by the late fall plowing. 7. Corn stubble land may be plowed lair in fall, and thus be all ready for very early plowing in spring, thereby going far to in sure a good catch of grass ; the roots of tb new seeding hold well, or being well estab lished before the droughts of summer coint on. USEFUL HINTS. —Rich cheese feels soft un der the pressure of the finger. That whici is very strong is neither god nor healthy.— To keep one that is cut, tie it in a cloth, pu it in a cool dry place. If mold appears on i' wipe it of with a dry cloth. Flour and meal of all kinds should be kep< in a cool, dry place. To select nutmegs, prick them with a pin. If they are good, the oil will instantly spread around the puncture. Keep Coffee by itself, as its odor affects other articles. Keep tea in a close chest or canister. Oranges and lemons keep best wrapped close in soft papar, and laid in a drawer o< linen. Bread and cake should be kept in a tin box or stone jar. Soft soap should be kept in a dry place in the cellar, and should not be used till three months old. Bar soap should be cut into piece* of a convenient size, and laid where it will become dry. It is well to keep it several weeks before using, as it -spends fast when it is new. . DEPTH OF MILK IN PANS. —My own ex periments have demonstrated that to put the milk more than three inches deep in the pans entails a loss in the amoum of cream ; the cream is so near of the 6ame specific gravity as the milk, that it cannot rise through a very great depth ; again, in s largo body of milk it requires s longer time for it to lose its ani mal heat, which must all be destroyed before the cream commences to rise ; if any one will take the trouble to set a shallow pan W'th not more than three inches of milk, away with a bucketful from the same kind, he will find that tho pan will raise nearly if not quite as thick cream as the bucket. I would not put away milk deeper than from two and one-half to three inches, and have found that the increased outlay for pans Is more than made up by the increase in butter. WEAK ETES IN HORSES. —Make up a wash of alum and water which reduce to abou' blood heat, and with a quill, blow the liquid into the eye. After trying the above pre* paration three times, take a piece of alum,as large as the ends of one's fingers, and burn.* ing it in the fire, reduce it to powder, and blow it stoutly by the same process, into the eye. We have tried burnt alum on a num ber of horses that have had sore and bleary eyes, and always found it a valuable remedy. It will remove all scum and restore clearness to the eyes. FEEDING HORSES. —The Arabs, the most careful of their horses of all people, do most of their horsefeeding at night. They say that feeding in the day time does not impart so much vigor and elasticity to the animal as night mastification does. Their saying is that "barley at night goes to the buttock—in the morning to tho manure." They afford water too, very sparingly, during the day time. ■ - A cockney sportsman gave a high figure for a well bred pointer, but the poor cockney did not know what pointing was. So when the creature made a point, lifting the leg as usual and standing motionless, our cockney friend declared he had the cramp, and took him up in his arms and carried him home. An experienced grower of blackberries says there is no use in trying to raise them unless the canes are laid down in winter. It is well known that the wood is often so much in jured during that season that only a very poor crop is obtained. The Early Rose potato was raised by AN fred Breese, of Vermont, in 1861, from a seed of the Garnet Chili. Subscribe for the Democrat. glistfUanffliis. LACK A WESTERN R R. Winter Arrangement— 1867-8.
