AG RICU LTURAL.
Cube for Warts. - A Correspondent has
cleared his own hands and those of his
freinds by rubbing them with chalk a few
evenings before going to bed.
To cure n hen Irom setting, put, under her
r few eggs just ready to hatch, or put one
or two young chickens under her at night;
in the morning take her and the young
chickens out and put them in a box ; tale
the cbiek from her in a few hours when .
the old goose will then think she has fui
filled her destiny.
Ts you plow down your weeds before they
go to seed they will prove a benefit to your
land instead of a curse. If they are al
lowed to go to seed they will be a s >orce of
endless trouble. Plowed under, they are
worth as much as a dressing of manure.
Besides enriching the soil, they tend to
keep it loose. If you add from 25 to 5 )
bushels of lime per aere to the ground,
and harrow it in, it will conveit your
weeds into plant food.
Lice on Poultry. — A correspondent of
the N. E. Farmer writes : “For the last five
or six years I have been very successful in
destroying lice in my hen coops by giving
the coop or house a thorough whitewashing
in the spring, first adding about a gill of
kerosene oil to a gallon of whitewash, and
about once a month’sprinkle the oil about
on’the roosts, in the laying boxes, etc Since
I have commenced the operation I have
seen no vermin.”
Tiie Sunflower. —The sunflower is very
useful for many purposes. There is no
seed that chickens will fatten on so quick
as that of the sunflower. It will speedily
cure colds, coughs, and cramps. It is the
best thing ever fed to horses to give their
hair a bright and glossy appearance, and
given to a foundered horse will give imme
diate relief. Give a horse a small handful
at each feeding and he w ill never founder.
The stalk also makes a yry good substi
tute for bean poles while growing.
The time to Prune Apple Trees
Many advocate pruning apple trees in the
spring, especially if it is desired to give
increased vigor to the tree. Careful obser
vation, however, shows that little is gained
m this respect, and that in nearly all cases
either a cankered diseased wouud, a ten
dency to water-spouts or a great increase
of sucker shoots results. Late fall or winter
pruning, on the other hand, geneaally
results in a wound that dries and cracks,
requiring two or more years to heal over
The month of Julv is the best month in the
year for pruning. In July the tree makes
a rapid but healthy growth, with fully
formed foliage to elaborate its sap, and if
a wound is then made it heals repidly, be
ing soon covered by the layers of new bark
and wood which are then continually form
ing. Then, too, tne removal by pruning
during July of a part of the surplus fol age
lessens in proportion the drain on the roots,
and hence the whole health and life of the
tree is increased rather than lessened or
rendered diseased, as is the case when the
pruning is done in spring.
When to Castrate Colts. —Many per"
sons hold to the opinion that cold weather
is the most suitable time to castrate colts.
Having been engaged in this kind of busi*
ness for six or seven years, my experience
and observation is that May and September
are the most suitable times. In May there
are no flies or other insects to torment a
colt; and also, the weather not being hot,
the animal does not resort to shade. Oon
sequently, keeping out in the open field it
naturally will pick grass and keep up its
flesh and strength, and being kept in mod"
erate exercise, a colt will swell less than if
it remaines too much of the time stationary
under shade.
The same reason applies to September.
If done in cold weather, the animal will be
apt to be kept housed, which should never
he done if it can be avoided. I consider geni
tie out-door exercise preferable. 1 have
operated on many hundred colts, both horse
and mules, and have never met with a se
rious accident or loss. — Cor. Cincinnati
Gazette.
llow to Fatten a Poor Horse.— Many
good horses devour large quantities of grain
or hay, and still continue thin and poor :
the food eaten is not properly assimilated.
If the usual feed has been unground grain
and hay, nothing but a change will effect
any desireable alteration in the appearance
of the animal. In case oil meal cannot be
obtained readily, mingle a bushel of flax
seed with a bushel of barley, one of oats,
and another bushel of Indian corn, and
let it he ground into fine meal. This will
he a proportion for all his feed. Or the
meal, or the barley, oats and corn, in equal
quantities, may first he procured, and one
fourth part of oil cake mingled with it,
when the meal is sprinkled on cut feed.
Feed two or three quarts of the mixture
two or three times daily, mingled with a
peck of cut hay and straw. If the horse
will eat that greedily, let the quantity be
gradually increased until he will eat four
or six quarts at every feeding three times
a day. So long as the animal will eat this
allowance, the quantity may he increased
a littled every day. But avoid the practice
of allowing a horse to stand at a rack well
filled with hay. In order to fatten a horse
that has run down in flesh, the groom
should be very particular to feed the animal
no more than he will eat up clean, and lick
his manger for more.— Am. Stock Journal.
Meat Moke Profitable than Cotton.—
The Winnsboro, News, of the 24th instant,
in an editorial displaying sound wisdom
and good practical sense, says:
Commissioner Wells, in his last magnifi
cent report, proves by statistics that trhe
number of sheep in the United States has
decreased 25 per cent, within a few years,
being less by millions than in 1860, while
the number of sheep-eating men has incre
ased by millions. Recent investigations
prove that this same alarming decrease has
also taken place in the number of cattle and
hogs in the United State. The consump
tion of meats is far in excess of its produce
tion. With our immense immigration con*
tinuing, the demand for meat, for years to
come, is obliged to exceed the possibility of
an adequate supply. Every consideration
of interest, therefore, should urge our land
owners to pay immediate and continued
attention to the raising of stock. Thos.
Jefferson was a great stock raiser, as well
as a great farmer, and the inventor of the
modern plough. He, with great shrewd
ness, emploped herdsmen to attend to his
stock, exclusive ol all other business. It
will always pay to do so. Why do our
planters not import shepherds and herdsmen
from Scotland? Let them not dream of
making as much by cotton as by stock rais
ing, for several years ; for the high price of
meat is not accidental, but due to an excess
of demand over supply, that promises to
outlast, by a long time, the temporary
scarcety ol cotton.
