Pure air and water are of even more importance than exercise in the care of youDg animals.

Moat or the a if eases 01 came are causea by wrong treatment too much feed at one time, too little at another; too rich at one time, too poor at another. If cattle and horses were fed and watered, and used properly there would be little disease. To clear cistern water add two ounces powdered alum and two ounces borax to a 20 barrel cistern of rain water that is black? ened or oily, and in a few hours the sediment will settle, and the water be clarified and fit for washing, and even for cooking purposes. It is stated that a Minnesota mliler has invented an entirely new process for grinding wheat, which does away with the millstones now in use, and substitutes therefor a vertically running granite disc in direct combination with a circle segment of French burr. This new process produces 80 per cent, of middling. If, after the wool has grown to some considerable length, sheep or lambs become annoyed with lice or ticks, wash the lambs in a strong decoction of tobacco- Another way is to take a pair of bellows and inhale tobbacco smoke; then blow the smoke with considerable force among the ticks. This will prove instant death to them. An English farmer, very successful during 10 years in fattening cattle and sheep, supplied a ration made as follows: ' Eight bushels corn soaked in 10 pails water two day s, then simmer for an hour, afterward mix with 14 pounds coarse cheap sugar, and commingle with cut straw, bay or other fodder. An experienced poultry man gives the following receipt for chicken cholera: For every 40 fowls take a piece of assafa-tida the size - of a hickory-nut, break it into small pieces and mix it in about a pint of cornmeal; wet it thoroughly with boiling water and place it near the roosting place so that the chickens can eat it the first thing in the morning. . The liquid jieldings of animals are worth more good authorities siy one-sixth more pound for pound, than the solid excrements, and they are saved with greater care by the best European farmers and gardeners. All the leaks in the stable are not in the roof; those often in the floor are quite as objectionable and are the cause of a great deal of waste. In preparing ground for squashes, put a liberal quantity of manure in each hill and cover it some two inches with soil. Then cover the whole with coal ashes with which the whole is filled, and the soil on the manTire covered. The seed are then planted in the ashes directly over the manure. At each hoeing, scatter a fresh supply of ashes around the plants, and grubs will never trouble the plants. Confinement and want of occupation are among the chief causes why fowls eat feathers. The former is often inevitable in winter, but the latter can be avoided by burying some of their grain food in sand and allowing them to hunt for it, which will afford them pastime and healthy occupation. Give them some green food, fresh meat two or three times a ' week, burnt , bones, oya'.er shells, charcoal, clear water, and a clean hennery, and if all this doesn't cure then of the habit, wring their necks for they are incurable. ---'-" It is folly to keep old sheep. ' They should be turned off to the butcher while they are in their prime. It does not take half as much to fatten them then. When they get old and thin, ia order to put them in condition to slaughter, the whole superstructure must be rebuilt Four sets of lambs are all that a ewe should bear; this will bring her to five years, and this is an age when, with little extra care, she will round up to a fine and full carcass. Exceptions if ay be made when . the breed is scarce and the blood ia more durable than anything else.--New York Tribune. t Many orchards become unproductive. To restore them to productiveness, sow them in clover, and when the clover is well estab lished turn in the hoes and sheep. Their droppings will fertilize the. ground. They will pick np all the worm-falls, and this will wonderfully lessen the destruction of fruit by worms. Top dressing or rotten manure, leaf mold, ashes, lime. etc.. are verv bene ficial to orchards that have been in bearing a few years. Orchards can only be kept good by care, good manuring and good pruning Labor is indispensable to success in frutt culture, as in all other things. - , y y , Preservation of Green V odder. . r -New York Independent 1 I ' ; " The preservation of cornstalks and other green fodder is a matter of great importance to farmers everywhere. Mr. J. B. Brown, of tie ben York Plow company, oo Beekman Btieet, this city, has just published a book which contains a full account of the French and American methods of building air-tight compartments for this purpose, together with the results of various experiments. chemical analysis, cost and profits, etc This book is of much interest in this country, where Indian -corn is relatively a far more important crop than any other, and where the best methods of preserving and using it for fodder purposes are so much to ba desired. The advantages of preservation by ensilage over the old - method by drying are certainly very great, and it now appears that what has been a matter of experiment for many years has come to be - an accomplished fact, the effects of which will very likely make great changes -in the . world of agriculture. The- most successful instance in which ensilage has been em ployed ia the United States, so far 63 we are aware, is in the case ot nr. Francis jjoitis vi nowaru county, ma., nuu txie uppeuuix - i t, j . aa a j i j: to me dook aoove reierrea to contains letter from him stating that in 1877 he preserved in this way a quantity of folds sufficient for 1,000 head of stock for over two months, and that in 1373 he put down more than (vim . . mfh in tha -vaer hAfnro The following extracts from the book will serve to show the purposes of its publica tion: "The end to be attained is to prevsn all kinds of fermentation before and after ensilage: for the war to acoid bad fermenta tion i? not to permit any. It is by not having discovered sooner this fundamental princi pie that so many seekers, like myself, have lost so many years in barren experiences. We wish to preserve maize by fermentation that is to aar. we turned our backs on the solution of the problem. Fermentation "reserves nothing: on the contrary, it is al wavi a preliminary steo toward a decompo sition more or less putrid, toward a real de struction. I have had this experience thousand times: When my maize had con tracted in mv imperfect silos alcoholic fer mentation, I hastened to have it eaten up as soon as possible ratner inan to see n pass w acetic fermentation, and soon after to lactic ,t-t,i Lmaniatim rhea a rneri flnr.es so often repeated and always fruitless, had finally discouraged me. For a. long time 1 had resigned myself to omy require irom my silos a temporary preservation of a few weeks at the most; mat m

lime that lapsed between ' the ensilage and the appearance of putrid fermentation. I had, however, from that time, at my disposal all the elements of a complete success." "I have obtained a preservation ;nd finitely prolonged and perfect." "My maize, etc., after 10 months of ensilage, has

icircely changed color, and produces the same abundance of milk and butter, and the same flavor and color to the butter."

"Corn fodder, preserved as stated, is equal if not superior to June grass, and its preservation is so easy that no one can estimate its advantage to the agriculturist." . . , Making Manure and Compost. Prairie Farmer. ' ; . : "I am a new band at farming, and a new subscriber to your paper. Have already derived very much benefit from it. Should be glad to have you publish an article on manures especially such as the farmer can make for himself), the proper way to treat a compost heap, giving plain directions. In our dry climate a heap of dung, refuse hay, etc.. does not rot soon, but frequently heats dry, or 'burns,' as it is termed. Do not know how to rot it Shall I make a layer of it, say two feet deep, and then cover with a few inches of soil to keep it moist, and go on alternating manure and soil? Have a large amount of material which I wish to get into good shape by another season. J. A. P." "Valley Springs, Dakota." Compost, as a rule, ia nisde of any and all materials vegetable refuse mixed with animal manure that is made on the farm. To this may be added old sod, swamp muck, leaves, ashes, salt and gypsum. For gardening purposes and the rule will apply to all compost that is to be used for top dressing we have had the beBt success by preparing a bowl shaped pit, in a clay soil, where the water of natural drainage can not reach it, having at its lowest point a tank dug in the clay, the whole puddled so as to hold water. In this pit the stable manure is piled, in alternate layers with loam sods or swamp muck two or three loads of manure to one of earth, with a half bushel each of salt and gypsum to each four loads of material. This ahould be kept so wet that it will not fermeut strongly, by pumping the liquid from below to keep it moist, When pretty well rotted it should be turned and mixed, or carted to another place, put in a conical pile and turned two or three times to mix the whole together, when it will be found to be In a good state for applying to special crops, or for using drills. For general purposes it is a good plan to place the manure and other material under some shed where catue and nogs may nave access to it to tramp and root it over. About three loads of fresh manure will make one of compost During this process of seasoning, if you have a receptacle for holding the liquid manure of the drainage to be pumped on the heap, or if you can carry the liquid drainage of your stables thereto, so much the better. It should per haps be unnecessary to add that the liquid manure tank beneath the manure heap should be so protected by planking that the manure itself can not fail into it If vou put a layer of litter and horse manure two or three feet deep, that is kept ma t moist, and allow it to lie naturally, 11 will heat violently and throw on ammonia. which will be lost in the air. Cover this with six or eight inches - of earth, and the volatile gases will be saved in the soil. Tramp it hard and keep it from the air, and it will heat but slightly. Any vegetable substance in the presence of moisture, if not saturated, will heat it laid in a compact pile. This heat sets free the volatile gases. which risa to the top and are dissipated in the air. Hence the necessity of using some absorbent. There is nothing so easy to be had or s cheap as earth clay preferably. if kept moist, the pile is sure to aecay. in fact, fermentation is the chief cause of riecav. If this fermentation is active the heap should De turned, one 01 me oojecis 01 turning a compost heap being to induce a gradual and - homogeneous rotting of the whole mass. 1 . American Agriculture. American Cultivator. The possibilities of American agriculture can best be appreciated by reviewing the facts that the area of arable lands in the United States exceeds 1.500,000,000 square miles, while the area at present under culti vation is estimated to be 174,901,000 acres, or less than 275,000 square miles. It is probable that the next census will show a valu ation or farms exceeding $11,000,000,000. and an annual production of $3,000,000,000. The fact that more than one-half of all our peo ple, who are engaged in the ordinary pur suits of life, are directly employed in agriculture, is at once a sufficient evidence of its universality and importance. In the ' year 1873 there were 51.008 000 acres in Indian corn, producing 1.371.000.000 bushels; 3Z,zu&,uuu in wneat, with a yield of 422 uuu,uuu ousneis; i3,io,utj in oats, giving 4ii,eoo,uw ousneis; i,rju,uuv in barley, stiowiDg a crop oi 42.uuo.iam ousneis; i,02l. ooo in rye. with 20,800.000 bushels, and 673,000 acres in buckwheat, yield a product ot I2.2i i.uuu ouBneis. i.nus tne total cereal productions for 1878 were 2.281,902,000 bushel?, raised on 100,476,000 acres, while in 1874 tte total crops were but 1.44,180,200 bush els; in 1875, l,tt62,82l,000; and in 1877, 2,178,34,tHo bushels. - the future increase in the farm production of this country will result largely from improved systems of cultiva tion, as well as from extended areas under the plow. A system of agriculture presents but little to be proud ot which averages to the acre over the whole country a yield of but 12 bushe's of wheat, lees than 27 bushels of corn, and only 28 bushels of oats. Com pared with what modern agriculture is capable of in this direction, It is not too much to affirm that our crops, even on present area, may oe aouoiea in quantity. , The Poor Girls. . . The poorest girls in Hhe world are those who havd never been taught to work. Thereare thousands of them. Kich parents have petted them. They have been- taught to de spise labor and depend upon others lor a living, and are , perfectly helpless. If misfortune comes upon their friends, as it often does, their case is hopeless. The most for lorn and miserable women upon the earth belong to this class, It belongs to parents to protect their daughters from thiweplorable condition. They do them a great wrong if they neglect it. Every daughter ought to be taught to earn her own living. The rich as well as the - poor require this training. The wheel of fortune rolls swiftly on the rich are likely to become poor, and the poor rich. Skill to labor is no disadvantage to the rich, and Is indtspensiole to the poor. Well-to do parents must educate their-chil dren to work. No reform is more imperative than this. - - : - - ... i Truth and Soberness.

Once established. It eats into the very vitals, and renders life but along-drawn breath of misery and disease, dullicg the sense of hearing, trammeling tbe power of speech, destroying the faculty ot 1 smell, and killing the refined pleasures of taste. Insidiously, by creeping on from a' simple cold In the head, It assaults the mem branous lining and envelopes the bones, eating through the delicate coats and causing inflam mation, sloughing and death. Nothing short of total eradication will secure health to the patient, and ail allevlatives are simply procrastinated sufferings, leading to a fatal termination. SAN FORD'S RADICAL CURE, by inhalation and by Internal administration, has never failed, even when the disease has made frightful inroads on delicate constitutions, hearing, smell and taste have been recovered, and the disease thoroughly driven out. Mr. H. M. Ford, Grand Rapids, Mich, writes: "The discharge was thick and bloody, emit ting a foul odor, so that my presence in a room with others was offensive to them. One week after beginning the use of SAN FORD'S RADICAL CURE, I was not troubled with it stall.
