How Sheep Benefit Land.
There is no stock so beneficial to land as
sheep, and for cleaning aud fertilizing pur
poses alone it will pay to keep a small flock
of sheep. In speaking of sheep restoring the
fertility of land the Secretary of the Massa
chusetts State Board of Agriculture says:
“The problem hardest for the New Eng
land farmer to solve is how to keep up the
fertility of pastures. W here cows are kept
on lands rough with stone and not described
by the term arable, there is a constant de
terioration; weeds and bushes usurp the
land and the fanner continually goes to the
institutes with the unanswered question:
How shall we keep up our pastures!
“Sheep will restore the worst of these
worn-out ranges to a better than its original
fertility; the stones will remain, of course;
but if bushes are cut sheep will prevent
their growth, briars and blackberry bushes,
if mowed, will disappear from the soil, to
gether with all varieties of noxious weeds.
Nutritious grasses will take their places and
the farmer will soon realize the truth of the
Spanish saying that ‘the sheep has a golden
hoof.’ But the old pasture must he sheep
tight, because they do not onjoy the priva
tion incident to renovating old pastures,
and will naturally seek fresher and more
agreeable ranges. If there is no wall a wire
picket fence is the best for sheep. Then feed
your sheep every day about half a pint of
cotton-seed meal each, or you may feed a
pint of oats.
“When there is help enough on the farm
sheep may be pastured to great advantage
by hurdling them at night in a small space,
in movable hurdles and feeding them inside
* the hurdles, keeping them there all night.
If cotton seed is fed its whole cost will be
returned in manure, the foul growth will be
absolutely destroyed and dogs will not mo
lest the sheep. The renovation, or rather
the creation, of pasture in such a case is
positive. It will take the time of two men
to go to the pasture at evening and move
the hurdle. The sheep accustomed to be
fed with grain will not be scattered and
will not have to be collected or driven to
the hurdles; indeed they will crowd upon
the shepherds, and if the flock is large the
hardest of the work will be to keep them
out of the wav until the hurdles are set. A
collie dog can be trained by any one to help
in this part of the work. Your hurdles can
be set for ground enough so that they need
not be moved for several days, and will in
that time require only one man to let the
Sheep out and call them in at night. This
is an advantage at the time of turning rams
into the flock, because it is always best to
take the ram away by day, feed him with
oats in a close place and lead him back to
the hurdling ewes at night,”
Level and Hill Country.
It has been for many years a disputed
question, says the Missouri Republican,
whether level or hill culture was better for
growing crops, but as there are so many
differences in soils while the modes required
for crops of all kinds are unlike, the experi
ence of each farmer on his own soil can
alone decide the matter. The fact is, that
under certain conditions, either mode may
be better than the other. On soils that are
damp, with subsoils composed of stiff clay,
the hilling system may perhaps be prefera
ble; but where the soil is well underdrained
or the ground rolling, the level system may
be the more suitable. Cultivation of the
soil is intended not only to clear off the grass
and weeds, but also to assist the growing
plants to obtain and retain the greatest
amount of heat and moisture, as well as to
afford more feed to the roots. Something
also depends upon the kind of manure and
fertilizer used, and upon the quantity ap
plied. In an experiment tried by an agri
cultural journal, potatoes were grown at
the rate of 1,000 bushels per acre, but the
fertilizer used was in sufficient quantity to
supply all the requirements of the crop.
The level cultivation was pxacticod in grow -
ing the crop, and it is probable that a com
plete failure would have been the result had
the hilling system been followed, for the
reason that in order to dissolve so large an
amount of mineral fertilizer plenty of moist
uve was necessary, which was retained by
the field being level. By cultivating the
entire service the fine earth served as a cov
ering or mulch, thereby preventing evapo
ration, as capillary atti'aetion drew the
moisture up from below; the connection,
however, being broken where the soil was
stirred. Hill cultivation would not only
have required the hoe to a certain extent,
but would have caused the exposure of a
larger surface to the air, producing greater
evaporation. Corn growers are awai'a that
the roots of growing corn extend in every
direction and feed as near the surface as
possible, and for this reason many farmers
Uhorlr their corn iu the rows and cultivate
in both directions, the desire being not to
stir the soil deeply, but to keep the surface
fine. But on stiff, wet soils hill cultivation
is sometimes necessary, or the young corn
will be injured from heavy x-ains. All soils
that have been well tiled with drain tile will
permit of level culture, as the most tena
cious soils are pulverized by the air and heat
if well drained. No rule, however, can be
laid down for all to follow, as hill or level
culture depends entirely upon circum
stances.
The Farm Well.
The following, from the Philadelphia
Record , is well worthy of the attention of
farmers. Water impregnated with disease
breeding genns have no doubt caused a great
deal of sickness which was thought to have
sprung from other causes: The well on the
farm is the source from which comes many
diseases. Some wells are never cleaned.
When dug they are carefully boarded over,
the pumps made tight and snug, with file
ground sloping away on all sides, so as to
allow the surface water to flow from the
opening. There is no well water that is
pure. Something depends on the character
of the soil. If sandy and the water will
quickly disappear from the surface after a
rain the well will drain tho soil for a long
distance around it, and the consequence will
be that a large portion of the soluble filth
of the soil will find it* way into the well,
although the water may appear sparkling
and bright. It is contended that the soil
removes all the impurities from the water;
but this depends upon whether tho soil, by
long-continued absorption, be not already
so thoroughly sa tun ted with impurities as
to refuse to take up more. But that the soil
does not remove all the impurities, even
from new ground where a well has been re
cently dug, has been demonst atd by satu
rating the surface earth at a distance from
the well with kerosene oil, which gradually
found its way to the well (having been
washed down by the rains) and impaired its
odor to the water. If the soil be of heavy
clay the danger will be lessened, but on ail
porous Soils the liability of pollution of the
water is gi-eat. No manure heaps, privies,
sinks or other receptacle for filth or refuse
of any kind should be within ISO or 40 feet
of the well, and the farther off the better.
No matter how tight the well may be the
toad will sometimes continue to get in.
Many wells contain loads that die and are
swallowed in the drinking water unknow
ingly, under the supposition that the well is
tight and “toad-proof.” Wells should be
thoroughly cleaned at least once a year, and
especially in the fall. For a distance of ten
feet around the well the surface should be
cemented, and the pump itself should be
cleaned occasionally. Toads, flies, bugs,
worms and even gnats will get in the water,
while only a few drops of a solution from a
filthy drain or sink, finding its way into the
well, will carry bacteria enough to rapidly
multiply and contaminate all of the water.
Hoots of trees anil vines also serve as drains
into the well, os they loosen the soil, and for
that reason they should never be planted
near the source of drinking water.
Haymaking in Florida.
Mi - . M. P. Arnold, of Richland, Pasco
county, writes to the Florida Dispatch of
his experience in making hay. It ought to
encourage farmers to raise enough at least
for home consumption. He says: Three
years ago I enclosed two acres and a half
around my house. The land was near the
edge of a lake that had a white, sandy bot
tom, and this enclosed land would have
taken the anywhere for extreme
poverty. I was determined to raise the
standard of fertility of that plat of ground
if I was compelled to haul on it all the
leaves and muck in Pasco county. I meas
ured off an acre ami on this mound I spread
evenly forty big loads of leaves and ten
loads of leaf-mould and pond muck. I
planted cowpeas the first year, which did
tolerably well, although the ground was
extremely porous, for the great mass of
leaves did not rot Until the following year.
Tho next spring I drilled in 3,000 pounds of
cotton seed meal and planted to Irish pota
toes. After these were off I planted conch
peas, which made a tremendous growth.
This spring I planted to corn, one kernel to
the hill, five feet apart. The corn produced
on this acre was the admiration and aston
ishment of every one who saw it. I let
every sucker grow, and some hills had three
suckers and the main stalk, and these all
grew about 13 feet high and were as large
around as Mississippi or Illinois bottom
corn. The suckers made good ears. One
variety of corn, called Brazilian flour corn,
suckered profusely, and one particular hill
had ten suckers and made 21 years. After
this corn was gathered, and it turned ,#ut
immense, 1 pulled up the stalks and let the
crab grass grow. The leaves and muck had
now become thoroughly assimilated with
the soil and the way the grass grew was
amazing, and this in spite of the dryest wet
season ever known in Florida. IV hen ready
to cut the grass stood waist high and in
some places was badly lodged. In such
places the grass, when drawn up, would
reach to my shoulder. I never saw such
grass in New York, the champion hay pro
ducing State of the Union. I cut the hay
myself and it made over two tons of fine
hay. Did I hear someone remark that hay
could not be made in Florida ?
Planting Orchards.
A correspondent of the Germantown (Pa.)
Telegraph conveys some valuable informa
tion in the following notes from his own
experience: I have set out trees of every
sort of fruit and a great many sorts of shade
and ornamental trees in the last 40 years and
have never yet failed. But I always do one
thing which I never saw recommended. If
a tree is set in the ground as received from
the nursery tho small ends of the roots are
invariably “dried dead.” Dead roots can
make no new growth; consequently, unless
the tree can obtain nourishment from the
sap in the large roots, trunk or branches
until new eyes in the roots are forced out
and take new root, the tree must die at once
or be greatly weakened by its efforts, and
then is sure to die upon any great strain
upon it from drought or cold. But if every
root is trimmed off to sound live wood it at
once becomes a cutting, with numerous ends
to callous over and form a bunch of new
nnd most vigorous roots. When this is done
the tree scarcely falters in its growth. In
cases where trees have no small roots and
only three or four large ones this plan is
sure to make them live. I never stake a
tree. I prefer to cut in the top till the wind
has no hold on it, but mainly to prevent an
exuberant top from demanding more sap
than the roots can supply the first year.
All plants down to strawberry plants must
lie root pruned to insure prompt growth.
Always have your knife as sharp as a razor.
Farm and Stock Notes.
Gives the hens a variety of food. Throw
them a lock of early cut hay occasionally.
They seem to prefer June grass or red-top.
When the comb of a fowl is large and
bright colored, showing it to be full of blood
anti shaking with every activity of the
bird, she is m a healthy laying condition.
Unclean eggs should be washed or wiped
when gathered. The shells are porous, and
pungent filth may penetrate and spoil the
meat. Eggs for long keeping should not be
washed, only wiped.
When the cockerels begin to crow they
should be separated from the pullets. This
will prevent the disfigurement of many of
the cockerels from fighting, and make
the management of both easier and better.
When horses are suffering from the bites
of flies or stings of other insects sponge
the parts that cannot be protected by nets
with water in which insect powder has been
mixed, a tabiespoonful to two gallons of
water.
To prevent the formation of long tap roots
and get a large number of small roots on
plants raised in boxes use a shallow seed-bed,
not over two inches of loam in the boxes.
This dries out quickly, and care should be
taken to keep it moist.
It has been found that peach trees grow
ing near tho house, says A. M. Purdy,
where dish and wash water are thrown out,
are long lived, and free from worms and
disease. A hint can be taken from this,
showing that salt and alkali are the valuable
factors.
The Texas Live Stock Journal says the
general average in shrinkage of a steer go
ing front Texas to Chicago is 100 pounds.
The State furnishes an average of 400,000
steers, which makes a shrinkage of 40,000,-
000 pounds, or, as the average weight of a
steer is 850 pounds, 47,559 head.
A writer advises against the planting of
fruit trees, esi>erial!y poaches,near together,
saying that from 20 to 22 feot is not too far
apart. Ho claims the wider planting
makes better shaped trees, with better ac
cess of air and sunshine, while the tree has
greater area from which to draw root sup
plies.

especially if the straw be wet, will give

Mr. N. J. Shepherd, of Eldon, Mo., a ver
satile writer for the press, tells the Swine
Breeders' Journal that he has never been
able to see that there has been any gain in
keeping tbe growing or stock hogs fat. The
only time that it is necessary to have the
hogs fat is when they are rearly to market.
It is not a good plan to stiut. the hogs—this
is worse than keeping them too fat; both ex
tremes should be avoided with breeding or
growing pigs or hogs.
From careful experiments the late Mr.
Mechi discovered that plants slightly wa
tered every day often perish, and always
become dwarfed, whereas a good soaking
given twice a week almost invariably proves
beneficial. There is no doubt that a
thorough soaking of the ground two or
three times a week is much better than
the same amount of water applied in drib
lets sufficient to wet the upper surface
only and not tho earth contiguous to the
roots.
At this season of the year the air, is full
of all sorts of microscopic life, the germs of
which are floating and settling everywhere.
They are most plentiful in stables, barn
yards, sheds, etc., and wherever there is
fermenting and decaying matter. If the
cows be milked in such places microbes will
be inhaled by the cows and enter into the
general circulation, and thence into the
milk, and they w’ill also fall into the milk
jiails and cans, aud contaminate milk by
direct contact.
When sowed corn begins to turn yellow
from being sown too thickly it ceases to ac
quire any additional value. Not only does
growth cease, but the plant becomes watery
and insipid. Cows will eat it, but their
milk will shrink as compared with even
fair pasture. To give really nutritious
stalks sowed or crilled corn should have
room enough to grow in. so that most of the
stalks would at least set a nubbin. When
this is the case there is a great amount of
sweet in the stalk.
The Michigan Farmer says: “A Mis
souri farmer has discovered anew remedy
or exterminator for tbe army worm. The
worms attacked a 70-acre clover-field,
charging by battalions and brigades. He
turned a drove of 150 swine into the field,
confining them to the part on which the
worms hail appeared, and was delighted
to find that the hogs ate the worms
with apparent relish, and finally com
pletely annihilated them. But, great
Scott! who would eat pork make from such
swine?”
