You will be a happier man and better farmer for the practice. Attraction of the Soil. There is some good information on tins subject in tho following froui Th? Rural World, which comments as follows: 1 There are some things in this world that have attraction for each other. Tha number is not small, for instance, clay has an attraction for ammonia. If you expose it to the air fresh from tho soil, the am monia of the atmosphere which comes in cofttact with it, will bo takon up by the clay, and kept there—kopt forever till tho roots of plants take it up. In ordor to facilitate this feeding ot the clay with this important element ammonia, which contains nitrogen, the one great fertilizing principle—it uiu-t be exposed, that is, stirre l, thrown to the air by the plow,-and changed aud newly-exposed by the cultivator aud harrow. Tliis is what an old author calls manuring; and he is right, for it is really manuring—adding ammonia to the soil. Lime has a similar effect of attraction. Now, as there is lit tle or no ground that has not clay or lime, the great advantage of enriching soil in this way is evident. Not only that, the ground cracked soil, and the air circula ting through it will moisten it, so that the lumps are readily powdered after a few workings—or at leant to a great extent —and wholly reduced after a few work ing"—or nt least to a great extent —and wholly reduced after a sh wcr—in fact fall apart of themselves. The nearer a city or a barn-yard' thiynore will the soil become enriched. It has often boon remarked that people raising vegetables near cities arc successful with less manure than other people. Such ground is much worked, from necessity—and as tho a : r contains more effluvia, which escapes from the tilth of a city, the soil in its vicinity gets more to feed upon. Soil should not only be stirred, but stirred deeply, espe cially in the frll, which gives, besides the usurl absorbation, a chance lor the frost ts ameliorate. The benefits arising fVom stirring the noil we see in various ways —in hoed crops, in summer.fallow, in the superiority of seeding the first and the second years, before the ground, by long lying, becomes compact. Could our meadows be worked, as our corn fields are, without injury to the grass, there would be improved crops. Hut this •hould always be understood, that soil stirred must have a large share of liiue or clay, or a mixture of tho two ; other wise, there is little or no effect. Soil even may be hurt in such a ease, if worked in hot, dry weather, as the fertility in it is not sufficiently held to bo returned, but will escape. This is the case with sand. The more sand, therefore, the susceptible of escaping. Our soil is a critical thing, and requires an educated eye to direct it —at least an experienced one." How to Make Milken?. No matter what breed you have, some thing is necessary to reach tlui highest BUCOCSS in raising gooil milkers. It's a great tiling to have good blood, whether it be Ayrshire,Jcrsy orShort Horn grades, but apart from this importunt advantage, the course of treatment in raising a beef animal, or an animal for labor. The ralf should be well fed and petted while young. Well fed, to induce a rap id growth, so as to cuabJc the heifer to come in early; petted, to make her gen tle and fund of the presence of her keep ers. Fondling helps to create a quiet disposition, so important in a dairy cow. and this education must begin when young. For a milker we would have the heifer come in at two yours old, and if •she has been well kopt, so as to have attainted a good size, she is theu old ouough to become a cow She will give more milk for coming in early. It forms the habit of giving milk, and habit, you kuow, is a sort of second nature. An old er bull is better We uso t<» many young bulls. A three or four year old is bet ters* a stock getter than a yearling, uud many prefer a live or six year old to any other. After the hoifer ha* come in, let her t'epd be regular. Glover is preferred to *Fi"others for the stall feed. A little oatmeal induces a largo flow. Indian meal fattouiug.
