HE A DIN FOR FAR.MEKS. From tb Scientific American. Clover if an important cmp. In no better way can soil be fertilized than by turning under a heavy growth of it. The first of this month is a good time to scat ter seed over old meadows and pastures, and especially on winter grain fields. Choose the first still morning when the ground Is full of little frost crack, and sow liberally with or without herdgra.-s eed with it if de.-igned for a meadow or pasture for two or three years. The seed falls into the frost openings, and is finely covered in thawing. We have seldom tailed of a good "catch" by thin method. Corn. Good seed, and either

good noil or plenty of manure, arc the essentials. Corn is one of the seeds most readily injured by 1 V -" ' iL. dampness or ncaunjj-in uie I ahock or crib. It is always bestj i to test an average sample elcted from the whole seed in advance, by sprouting in warm soil. It is much better to do t'iis than to risk the loss of a crop, or of many hills. The seed is the least part of the expense. Corn is a gross feeder, and revels in plenty ot manure of any kind. It is a nun plant, and not a water one. Rich landt warm and dry drained if at all needed, is what fills the corn ciib and the purse. A heavy sod turned under is a good place for corn roots to revel in. Draining. "It pays," is the testimony of hundreds cf our old readers who followed our earnest advice and suggestions years ago. While waiting for sun and wind to drv out wet land, lay plans to prevent such delays in future, and execute these plana at the earliest practicable moment. Air is escntial to roots growing in a soil. Air and water can not both be there at Önce. Warmth is equally necessary, but rapid or slow evaporation of water from the surface is like an ice bath. Horses. Inure them to hard work gradually. Have a merciful harness; a hard spot or badly adjusted draught may give them constant pain, and consequent loss of flesh, and produce a sericms galling or pore. More work; more strengthening grain. Washing off mud and sand from the feet and rubbing down at night, will give them comfort and vigor, and may save scratches or other pores. Mares near foaling can not do hard work and bear good progeny: a hard days drive may take $10 from the value of a colt. Sorgo. Prepare the soil the tame as for corn, and plant as early as the ground and season will admit, covering very lightly. We prefer 3V feet drills, the seed town thickly, and when well itarted, thin out to 10 or 12 inches apart in th; row, leaving the best stalk. Tools. We can not too often impress the fact, that two men with first-rate implements will do as much as three men with poor ones, while the difference in cost is not great. To be short ot good implements is the wor-t economy, especially in these times of scarcity of help, and high wages. Trees add to the beauty, comfort, and salable value of a firm. A purchaser will pv much more for a farm witn lew wen ar ran-ed tree; it looks belter to him, though he may nt notice whv. Fruit tree arc of course doubly ahnhle. IT PAYS TO TAKi: CAKT OI 131 1'LLMl.M'S. (Fr.ni the Aruirica; Aricaltur'.t. There danger let, in the hurry of ork, tools l ire and small, will be epoeiI to rain and un. When so neglected, :reat hirm is done them. Th woodwork shrinks, and cracks, and rots, and th? iron work rust and ii liable to brink. SuJ. imniements are disagreeible to vork with, and they are conti null I v Eoiri to decay. Leheve it would be a min,; cf money, in the lon run, to take time, "even in the busiest eajon, to clean tnd house daily all implements of the farm and the girden. The proper care of tool? involves the painting of those which are ever exposed to the weither, such at carts, sleds, wagons, horseraken, etc. This may seem a trilling matter to some careless farmer?, but it is one of great consequence. We wish to cite the testimony of a practical man, in the Rural New-Yorker, which is right to the point. He tiys:

I had a sled made in the fall of 1634, at a cost of $19.00. I have the same sled now, (1861) und will warrant it to carry as large a' load as when it came out of the shop. With the exception of the shoes, which are getting very thin, it seems as perfect as when new. I have not paid ott fiftv cents in repairs, except for

painting. It has been painted! twice during this time, and has not staid out doors ten night. during the whole time. In the fall of IS'jS, 1 exhibited this sled and one double wagon that had been used eight years, one hoe thit had been in use 20 years, without even a new handle, and one pitch-fork that had been in use 15 years without even a new handle, at the Adams1 Agricultural Fair. I did not expect a premium, but was awarded a discretionary premium. The committee on Tools pronounced h j a3 whh the exception of natural wear. A premium wisely bestowed. And here let us repeat an impor tant item, more than once stated in the columns of thn American Aariculturist: A mixture of three parts lard and one of resin, melted together, is one of the best coatings for all steel or iron implements. The lard makes the resin soft, while the latter is a sure preventive against rusting. The mixture is good for plows, hoes, axes, indeed for all tools aid implements, as weil as for knives and forks packed away. The coating can be very thin. feed for farm house. From the American Agriculturist. When I was a boy in the north of Vermont, we n?fd to feed dry hay and oat?, unless the horse had the heaves, which was very common among them at that time, owing to feeding too much dry hay and oats, and driving too fast when full. We then supposed they ough to have hay before them all the time. This is a false idea: all kinds of animals will do better on regular meals. Farmer usually feed too much dry hay. You may keep a horse eating all the time and not have it thrive. I came to Massachusetts about 12 years ago, and was engaged in the teaming business about 7 years. I begin to feed cut hay and corn meal, and found the hordes would do more work and list longer, and be in better condition than when kept on dry feed. Cracked corn and oats make a very good feed for noon, when in a hurry. I would feed citrrots all winter in small quan titie?, especially to young horses and breeding mares. This keeps them in a healthy condition. Team hor?es may be fed on them once each day to advantage. I am not able to state the amount each hore skould be fed: this depends on the size and age of the animal. I would advise all owners to keep their horses, especially those they use, in good condition, it cost less in the end. Colts ought not to have much grain, unless very thin in flesh; they are often injured by graining. A few ground oat, with cut hay or straw wet and mixed, and hall a pint of ashes added once in two or thre weeks is all colts need beside? hay. The r.shes keep the bowels opfn, and, it ü stid. free from worms.

A I . . . - . ...I.j-v Kt.'Al i A con epondnt of the Canadian Agriculturist Arte that the tollouin in the method of trotting hutter in the west of Scotland, lie mvs: ,4Vhenev6r the butter is made in the churn, it i. removed from the butter-milk, and washed in at least three or four change o cold spring water. If the butter U very soil, and the weather hot, it should be allowed to lie for ten minutes or so in the cold water, to harden, before it is much beaten: after this it must be kneaded with the skimming dish, till every particle of buttermilk is expelled; after wnich, and while the butter lis yet soft, it ought to be salted TiiC quantity of ealt for butter

intended for keeping several months, as used by the Ayrshire dairymen, is half an ounce ot salt mized with ten drachms of refined sugar, and ten drachms of niter to every sixteen ounces of fresh butter. The sugar improves the taste, and the niter gives the butter a better color, while both of them act with the salt in preserving the butter from rancidity. Both the bugr and niter snould, however, used with great caution, and should not exceed the quantity stated above, otherwise the

butter acquires a peculiar disagreeable taste. The whole three ingredients are well mixed togeth er and ground or pounded very fine. In curing. thf salt is minutely mixed, if not, the parts that missed the salt will be white, and the other parts vellow. But although it is necessary that thesalt.&c, be carefully kneaded through the butter, care must be taken not to bake or knead it too much, otherwise it gets into a stare like putty, and becomes tough and gluey. The great point is cleanliness. Extreme attention should be given to the scald ing and scouring of the coolers, vat, churns, &.c, as wiuhout this, however good the in curing and packing, the butter will have a strong taste, and con sequently be of inferior quality.
