Dr. Daxiei. Leb—
Dear Sir : About four years ago I
ceived in a letter from a friend in Arkan*
sas, a very small quantity of Texas grass
seed ; said to be the Muskeete. (I air
iuformed since tliat it is not the true Mus
keete.) • 1 succeeded last year in raising
about fifteen bushels of the seed from a
very small patch, and bay at the rate
about 4,500 lbs. per acre. 1 thinfc H
surpasses all other species of gras* ,or * IS
region of country. I seeded about 2o or
30 acres of land (some «oods, after t te
undergrowth had been trimmed out some
old fields, and some branch bottom.) last
winter, and it has been of great value to
me as a pasture. 1 have kept my cattle,
sheep, goats and bogs on it since Jan
uary and it lias afforded excellent gra
zing all the time—that in the branch
bottom being best; that in the woods next.
JVIy stock are fat at this time. And not
withstanding the close grazing and dry
weather, it is seeding all ever my pasture.
I have just finished harvesting the patch
I intended for seed ; the quantity of. hay
is not quite as much as last year, owing I
suppose, to the dry weather we have had
for the last month. I have Coi. Stanford’s
tall oat grass; 1 like it pretty well-as well
as the orchard grass; but the Texas grass is
altogether superior to any other we. have
tried in this part of the country. It will
grow on poorer land than any other, cot
ton, stiff clay land, or light sandy lands,
in wet or dry land. Another great advan
tage is, you can in so short a time seed
large fields with it; a peck being sufficient
for an acre—and that without any prep
aration of the soil whatever—(though I
think it best where the land is put in or
der). But if one has not time to prepare
the soil it will come up almost if sown any
where. I have some growing amongst
broomsedge that was not even burnt off
last fall, and I think it will push the
broomsedge entirely out, and also many
kinds of worthless weeds. It yields a
great quantity of seed, and is as easy
sown as wheat. I ha%'6 sown it at differ
ent times through the winter, and find
that the earlier it is sown in the field the
better it will be. Some of my neighbors
have tried it on the high land ponds in this
section, which heretofore have produced
nothing but worthless weeds and some
little coarse grass, and it has succeeded
wonderfully.
Yours with respect,
J. M. Norris.
P. S. The soil of my land is granitic.
Washing Made Easy.—Editors Mail;
As washing is a great bore to soldies, and
especially to new recruits, allow me,
through your valuable journal, to offer to
our volunteers now in the tented field the
following recipe for washing made easy.
It was presented to me by Surgeon Ogle-
vy on his return from the Mexican war :
To each pint of soft, or one pound of
hard soap add one tablespoouful of sale-
ratus and three tablespooufuls of spirits
turpentine ; mix well. To this prepared
soap add hot water sufficient to make
strong suds, and to cover the clothes you
wish to wash. Let the clothes soak thirty
minutes, (or all night, if not in a hurry.)
stirring them occasionally with a stick,
or the hand, while-soaking. Wring them
out well, and throw them into cold water
ten or fifteen minutes, by which time the
suds will be settled. Then pour off the
suds carefully from the mud in the bottom
of the vessel ; (but-if tbe clothes are very
dirty make fresh s|ds.) in which boil the
, and then rinse them
^ r to remove the
oods need be soaked
iutes, stirred well

th
Treatment of Horses.—A correspond
ent in our lhst paper tnakes some good re
marks on this subject He advises to let
the animals have tnmtji rest and time to
eat their grain in thitfiorning. He would
not have* them jnjto work till 7 A. M.,
and would keep them at work till twelve.
We find no fault but in his plan to give
the heartiest feed just before going to
work. This is the practice of many team
sters, notwithstanding all the arguments
aud disasters which are sure to follow.
It is decidedljt wrong to fill horses with
grain immediate*jp? before working. The
heartiest food ^should be given at night,
after the noise has done his days work.—
Then he will sleep on it, and it will have
time to digest. But if he is driven hard
immediately after eating grain, it stays in
his stomach without digestion, and very
often kills him.
We have oft^i known stage-horses to
dropdown deaclAin the highway in conse
quence of hard driving in hot weather soon
after eatingyneal. Let the horse have his
grain I ill be ready to
start on his journey in the morning.

G^Tano for Turnips.—Some few years
ago we tried an exp^iment with Peruvian
guauo on tuF1Tf|)tajfl|^p happy a result
that we think it yXuiy of a place iu our
columns. The lard used is sandy, with a
clay foundation, and very liable to run
together, as it is called, after heavy rains.
On a quarter of an acre, in the month of
September, we broad-casted two sacks of
guano and .one hundred pounds of land
plaster, the whole costing some thirteen
dollars. This we turned under very deep
ly. Next we harrowed the laud, and sow
ed it down in flat Dutch turnips, using a
pine-top for covering. From this patch
we sold to the value of ninety dollars in
the Augusta market, not to count what we
used at home. But we think it right to
remark that the seasons were excellent.
Corn Beer.—Soak one pint of corn,
and boil it until it is soil; add to it a pint
of molasses and one gallon of water; shake
them well together, and set it by the fire,
and in tweenty-four hours the heer will be
excellent. When all the beer in the jug
is used, just add more molasses and water.
Tire same corn will answer for six months,
and tire beer will be fit for use iu twelve
hours by keeping the jug where it is warm.
In this way the ingredients used in ma
king a gallon of heer will not cost over
four cents, ana it is better and more whole
some than cider. A little yeast greatly
forwards the working of the beer.
Certain Cure for a Cough.—Take a
champaign bottle, fill it with pure Boston
rum, put thereiua sixpence worth of balm
of gillcad buds. Let it soak twelve hours,
shaking occasionally to aid soakage. When
you cough take a sip—about a toaspoc
be thro
_ . . >on-
iul—-just enough to moisteu the throat.
Carry with you a small phial of it, with a
few of the buds, in your pocket, and use
it. In two or three days ordinary coughs
will be cured, and in a week the worst
ones.
Why do Hens Eat their Eggs ?—I
has already been stated that eggs are com
poBed chiefly of albumen. Now, when
fowls are compelled to eat, grind, and di
gest a large quantity of coarse food, which
contains but little albnmen, there is a
longing and hankering after more nourish
ment, or something that will supply the
waste of their systems, winch is daily pas
sing off in the form of eggs. I suppose that
this hankering i» not unlike the sensation
which a man feels who is making an effort
to abandon the use of tobacco, although
j s ni uot able to speak from person-
af experience in such a matter, having
never tasted nor smoked the “ devil s
weed.” Consequently, they are ready to
devour anything that is eatable, and as
soon as they get a taste of eggs, they find
that they obtain a large quantity of just
the nourishment which is demanded by
their system, and but little time and mus
cular energy is required to transform it in
to eggs again.
Another thing, also, which induces bens
to eat their eggs is. they have a hanker
ing for something that will form a good
shell-, and nothing is better for that pur
pose than the very shells. Consequently,
when the shells of eggs are thrown to hens,
when only broken in two, it will often
learn them to try a whole shell when the
egg is iu it.
Fowls, when laying, must have lime. I
keep a dish of clear lime always within
their reach. This is far better than to
compel them to pick and work over a lot
of mortar, for the sake of obtaining only
a small quantity of lime. Every egg shell
should be broken into small fragments,
and mingled with fresh meat chopped fine*
or with scalded meal thickened with milk,
or even made thick like mush. By allow
ing hens to have all the lime they need,
the egg shells will be much thicker and
more firm, than they will when hens are
compelled to find materials for the egg
shells only in their food, or in bits of old
mortar, or by eating lumps of earth.

Hens.—Of a choiec in settiug-hens a
correspondent of the Fanner and Gardner
says that not every hen that rumples up
her leathers and clucks, clucks, with af
fected matronly indignation and import
ance, is fit fos the great duty of bringing
forth a brood. A good setting-hen should
be large. Size is important, because of
the greater amount of warmth imparted to
the eggs, as well as giving the hen the
ability to cover the eggs thoroughly, and
thus secure regular hatching. She should
be well feathered. If tbe hen which sbows
a desire for incubation has a meagre coat
of feathers, try and get her out of the no
tion. If she will sit in spite of you, give
her but few eggs. Avoid cross grained
“fuss and-feather hens.” They may do
the hatching very well, but prove poor
mothers.
Value of Shelter for Sheep.—Wm.
H. Ladd, one of the best farmers of the
State of Ohio, who has given especial at
tention to sheep, gives the careful estimate
in the Ohio Farmer, of the value of shelter
to sheep, suggested by the remark of a
neighbour, that “It won’t pay to build
shelter for sheep.” This neighbour kept
one thousand head and lost many animals,
and it was from his losses that a part of
his estimate was made :
“Let me make some very low estimates
in reference to the* loss occasioned by this
treatment in thirty years. First, if the
sheep shore two pounds of wool per head
under this treatment, they would have
shorue three pounds had they received
good care. Second, one pound difference
per head on one thousand sheep makes
one thousand pounds; one thousand pounds
in thirty years, at forty cents per pound,
twelve thousand dollars. It is a very
low estimate, counting sheep at the lowest
common price, that a flock of one thousand
sheep should yield five hundred dollars
worth of surplus stock to sell each year :
this in thirty years amounts to fifteen thou
sand dollars. Feed saved by shelter, say
two hundred dollars each year, worth in
thirty years, six thousand dollars ; simple
interest at six per cent, on amounts saved
in thirty years, thirty thousand six hun
dred and ninety dollars; difference of
the value of the flock on hand at the
end of thirty years; one thousand dol
lars ; value of shelters to the proprietor at
the end of thirty years, one thousand dol
lars ; amount saved, sixty-five thousand
six hundred and ninety dollars. Per con
tra—shelters cost three thousand doilars;
additional grain fed, say four hundred dol
lars each year, in thirty years, twelve
thousand dollars ; interest as above, six
teen thousand five hundred and sixty dol
lars; for keeping shelters in repair, one
thousand dollars-total thirty two thousand
five hundred and sixty dollars. Difference
in favor of shelters and good care, thirty-
three thousand one hundred and thirty
dollars. Don’t look at this as a fancy
sketch ; it is a reality, and the only incor
rectness about it is, that the estimated
difference in favor of good keeping is in
every particular below the reality.”
Good Milkers Bring the best Calves.
—Dr. Holmes, of the Maine Farmer, char
acterises the neglect of the milking quali
ly in our improved stock, as “a mistake in
breeding,” and quotes Prof. 'Fanner an
English agricultural authority, to sustain
his views. The matter is certainly worth
careful attention, and we give a portion of
the extract below.
In one of his numbers says Dr. H., after
inculcating the importance of a good ped
igree as being evidence of purity of blood,
and the character of the stock becoming
by attention to this more confirmed and
concentrated, he remarks as follows :
‘The cows should be characterised by
an aptitude for producing fine calves and
bringing them to a full degree of develop
ment. They should therefore be good
milkers, for the value of the produce will
be very much regulated by this character.
We shall have occasion to see subsequently
that this property is in no degree prejudi
cial to any other desirable point of char
acter. '1 his tendency to produce inilk not
only influences the supply of food to the
young animal after its birth, wheu any
deficiency may he remedied, but it rogu
lates the growth of the calf before birth
lieu a substitue cannot be used. Thus
many of our best bred Short-Horn cows
produce calves which.are very imperfectly
developed and exceedingly weak so
much so, that many persons accustomed to
inferior stock would consider them scarce
ly worth rearing. This is mainty refera
bieto4he supply of nourishment givcu to
the calf being so small, for the subsequent
supply of milk clearly indicates how lim
ited had been the support given to the foe
tus.
