Ol?5 The September number of tlie
Stock Ilegister, quoting from the" Genesee
Farmer, recommended sulphurfed-to'anrtnals-'
as death to all such vermin. 1-tried it on'
some calves so covered with lice- that the
outer ends of their hairs .were thick'with'them.
Tobacco and other remedies had -but little
effect. I fed .in saltand raeaj, givingitf spoon-.
ful to each calf twice a week. In twojWeek
not a louse could be found. A neighhor who
has often used this same remedv on all kinds
of animals, with perfect success, assures me
it should be given in fair weather or Ihe" ani
mals housed, else there is a liabilityof taking
cold and injury being done to'the animal.-
When shrubs or dwarf fruit.trces, produce
an abunance of foliage, but not .flowers otf.fruit
either move them to a poorer soil or cut.

Potato, Interrestiug Experiment;
The Journal of -the 2$ew York- State
Agricultural Society contaius a very e-,
laborate and carefully prepared- tablcr
showing the result of experiments in the
cultivation of potatoes, in every possible
mode, and under-all the different circum
stances which could well be conceived j
the whole forming a mass of -information
seldom found condensed into so small a
compass.. It is from the jjen of our friend
H. H. Eastman, Elq.of MaVsnallf She of
tho best practical farmers in the State a
careful experimenter and exact observer
of results. In this talblc'Mr. E. has pre
sented the result of his experiments with
such exactness, and in so concise a form,
as to be readjjy understood by the reader.
We only regret that ifc is soformidablc as
to prevent its being laid before our read
ers in detail, especially as the rule and
figure work in the table is very-inconvenient
for our columns. We may, howev
er, as briefly as may be, state some1 of. the
Results of the experiments, . as gathered
from a careful perusal of the tableioping;
at some future time to present theniat
ter in a-moro acceptable form. '
1. Manures. The experiments embrace
Hog manure, fermented and Unferment
ed Yard Manure, Compost, Manure of
Fowls, Lime, Ashes, Gympsum, Sulphur,
Saltpetre, &c. Sc. The results are deci
dedly favqrable to the use of Hog" manure
the manure of P.owlscbming hcxttheXJoni
post next, then the JJnferinented Manjire..
The Lime and Gypsum did not increase
the yield beyond that part on which no
manure was- used-. The' same may-bo
said of the Sulphur and'SaUpctre:
2. Time of Planting; .The earliest1
planting proved decidedly 'Jbest-Tthcdif
ference between, the lSth and 28th' May;
being 19 bushels per acre, and:a tur'the r
reduction ron that portion planted as late
an 10tli-junc of a4 btfthclp?r hcrc'.with
a 'decrdod ad vantage as to. size and qualU
