"[&■(»» the American Ayricultnriit ~] Top-dressing Meadows in Winter. A thin dressing of clny put upon a metieow, where the soil is sandy, or a sandy loam, or for tho most part muck, ami not in a very good state of fertility, will sometimes increase the growth of grass so largely, that a meadow hardly worth mowing will yield three tons of excellent hay per sere. Sometimes when grading has been done, or a new fence is built the earth is scattered in depression 011 the Bward near by, and the result almost always is a lirge increase in the growth of the grass. We have frequently observed bunches, ami small patches of tall, heavy grass of a luxuriant growth, near stakes and posts, that had recently deen set, a am all quantity of tho earth having teen scattered, when the workman was digging the holes. Taking the hint from these, it is easy to see how teams and laborers may be employed profitably, when there is snow on the ground, or it is too cold to engage in la'>or that reqnires warm weather. If a man has a sandy meadow yield ing but a small burden of .grass, it will pay well to haul clay, or almosf any kind of earth half a mile to top dress such ground. When the sleigh ing is good, a team will haul two tons at one load wi'h ease. If the soil be of a pea'y character, two tons of cold stiff clay sp-ead in the win ter over an area of four square rods, will usually produce a maxim result. Should the clay be plowed, or spaded up in larg » clods, let them be spread on the snow or ground, and the frost and rain will reduce them to a fine and mellow condition before the grow ing season commences, so that a lit tle labor with a shovel will cover the entire surface with an excellent top dressing, the good effect of which w ill be perceived for geveral years, in the larger quantity of grass and hay,and in the better quality. An active man with a good team will haul, on an a erage, one ton of earth in an hour half a mile, when (lie trave ing is such that the team may haul two tons per load.— And if half a ton bespread on each square rod, it will require eighty toijs to top-dress an acre. The ex. p-ense of the teams for hauling need not be computed, because they must bo kept in winter, whether they work or not. and it w 11 be better for them to labor than to remain idle. Tlven allowing a man one dollar per day, if be hauls only four loads per day, making eight tons, it will cost ten dollars to top-dress one acre. The grass produced by such a dressing over and above what would have grown in a single season, will ordinarily more than pay all this ex pense. But, in the' winter, when farmers have little to do besides their daily chores, they can work a few hours every day at top-dressing in this manner, and it will cost tnem even less than we have reckoned, as it will be better for both men and teams to labor moderately, than to remain idle. When there is a prepon derance of clay in the soil, sand, or sandy loam, or muck may be hauled instead of clay. The frosts and rains will almost surely reducr it fine before the growing scasou commen ces, and it will answer the double pur pose of a #ulch and fertilizer.— When the snow i.s off the ground on a the lumps, if there are many, may be broken up and spread by ;i harrow turned upon its back. Scratches in Horses. A correspondent of the last New England Farmer thus refers to "bright varnish" as a cure for cuts, woun's, and in horses : "When I worked at my trade in the city, I had occasion to use differ ent kinds of paints and oils; among them was what is called 'bright var nish.' Frequently would I cut myself Bometimee so severely that I had been laid up for weeks. I would try all k'nds of salve, but the wound would be a long time healing. One day I cut my hand severely, and as I had nothing at hand to yuton it I thought I would try some of the bright varnish ; vn it is a sticky substance, I thought it would stick the wound together; accord ingly I bound up my hand with it and kept on at work; the varnish relieved the pain, I bad no soreness in the wouud, aud in one week it was entirely heaftd. My son was sawing through a board one day, and carelessly put-hi# bund under the board. He his fore-finger bone entire sawed off. I put the ends togeth er, put on the varnish and bound it up. The rehult was that after one week 4he bandage was removed, aud the finger had nearly grown togpther. My horse once had scratches so badly that it was diffi cult to get him to move about. I rubbed the parts effected with this varnish for two days, which caused a perfect cure.— The varnish cau be bought at the paint hsps for six or eight cents per quatt. Fiti John Porter, of unfragrant memory, is through with gold mining in Colorado, and has gone to Kurope. Like Itis friend McClelland, he probably thinks the United States is no longer a home fit for gentlemen.—of bit sort. —Oa Christmas Day, Felix Karrel, a tjuarreUome person, i'utally stabbed An thouy McLaughlin, near LUXMKC, in Lu- 1 re rue county.
