Chamber f Journal, FARM NOTKM. lo (oni Knl In Proportion to Weiftil T At the St. Lawrence Dairymen’ll Axao elation, Gen Curtis made the point in favor of the Shorthorn cow, that alie wan Mich a jierfect digester of food that ah d/d noteat aa much in proportion to size and yield of milk, hi the Ayrshire or Jersey. Mr. Rutherford believed thin opinion to lie quite a mistaken one, and that the .leraey consumed leas food, pro portionally to aize and yield of milk, than ( le liest milking Bhorthorns. Prof. Ar nold was inclined to think fieri. Curtis opinion was correct. In corroboration of this latter opinion, Mr. K. W. Htewarl related to experiments of his own. One was with two Merino sheep, together weighing 200 pounds fed in comparison with a Cotswold sheep weighing little over 200 pounds. These sheep were fed in seperate jams, for thirty days, upon hay and corn. The two Merinoes ate 6 pounds of bay and 2 quarts of corn par day, while the Cotswold ate only \ pounds of hay aud 11 pints of corn, and the Ootswold gained a fraction of a pound the most, while eating 26 per cent. less. He also tried a similiar experiment with three small common cows, weighing 800 pounds each, and two large cows weigh ing 1,200 pounds each; so that the weight of each lot was equal. The ex* poriment was made in winter, all the i*ows Is'ing dry. They were all fed on mixed clover and timothy lmy, cut five-eights of an inch long, with two quarts of bran mixed with each bushel of hay. The feed was weighed as given to each lot, and supplied out libitum. During thirty days the three small cows ate, on the average, seventy pounds per day, and the large eows sixty'poundH per day. At the end of the experiment the three small cows had gained sixty-five (sounds ami the two large e.n.ssixty-two pounds. Here was a difference in food in favor of the large animal of Its.fl per cent. The eows were all apparently in the same condition at the beginning. It ia the general opinion that animals eat in pro portion to weight, but this will not apply to eases where the difference in weight is very large. In the ease of the two Merinoaheep that weighed the same as the Cotswold there is the heat of the two systems to lie kept up insUiul of one. The respiratory (..ml is not in proportion l t size of Ruinisl, art the lungs of tlie two smalt sheep were combined, larger than the lungs of one large sheep, and would take more food to keep up animal heat. The outside surface of the bodies of two small animals having only the weight ol one large animal is much greater, and the radiation of heat from the larger surface will ta> pro|Kirtionally greater, and re quire so much additional food. This appears to l>e a rational explanation of the facts ot these two experiments, nml which have been observed in a general way, by many feeders.— Toronto (iloht. Clover n. n S'erllltser. In an essay on green crops as terti'- rs, read by J. L. Johnson, Indore the horticultural society ol Warsaw, lowa, relering to clover, he says <'f all plants with which 1 am ac quainted and which are especially adapted to our latitude and climate, the common red clover is perhaps the very best for fertilising the soil; it Wing one of the best, it not the very la st, to collect the accumulated richness ol the atmosphere; while its long and searching roots pene trate the soil in all directions, far beyond the depth reached by our most thorough and energetic plowmen, loosening the übsoil in all directions and bringing up mineral substance of the greatest value in promoting the growth of vegetables, grain or fruit. Red clover as a fertilizer not only en riehes hut render* the soil more open to admit the circulation of the atmosphere, thereby retaining the moisture and thus producing the best result*. We should endeavor U> attain to a proper know ledge of the wants of the soil, for it is only by doing si that we become able to decide a to what rotation of enqni to grow for the benefit of the soil. Knowledge and energy are the real foundations ol prout able farming. In all rare* where soils contain hut little organic matter, a larger proportion of vegetable manure is required, and it is important that we burv beneath such noils all the vegetable matter jtowdlde. not only real clover, but also oat*, rye, buckwheat or even weeds (if we are so esre less or slovenly as to produce weeds), as we may thus destroy the seeds of weeds, and at the same time increa-e the j fertilityvof the soil. The amount of green 1 manure[in an acre' of red clover is almost incredible. On the very poorest land enough can be produced, if utilized and | rightly applied, to greatly enrich the soil. I see it is stated in the California Farmer that Prof. Gedzie, in a chemical test, claims to have found one piece of heavy June grass (graas and roots to gether) containing more than one hundred tons jser acre. If this statement is correct, but few farmers have even a propcrconception of the actual quantity of vegetable matter they add to the soil by plowing under a heavy grass sward of clover. Then we must consider how easy it is for us to obtain this great fertilizer. It costs usno freight, asdoes the commercial manures; it requires no hauling, as the barnyard manure, and it needs no spread ing. It comes to u freighted on every breeze, nature evenly spreads it over our fields, and we may, if we will, apply it with the greatest accuracy. Then let mo close by saying that we believe that to fill our soils with a mass of grass and clover roots and other veg etable matter, is to make our lands fat, so that they will pay a good rent to the owner and tiller, it is to increase the fertility of the soil, by feeding and fatten ing it, as we believe it may be made fat in sod and in manure, as easily as we can make a poor pig to gain in flesh. Signs or a prohpeboob farmer.— When you see his barn larger than his house, it shows that he will have large profits and small afflictions. When you see him driving his work, instead of hia work driving him, it shows that he will never lie driven from good resolutions, and that he will certainly work his way to prosperity. When you always see in his wood-house a sufficiency for three months or more, it shows that he will lie a more than ninety days’ wonder, in (arming operations, and that he is not sleeping in his house after a drunken Irolic. When he has a home separate from the main building, purposely for ashes, and an iron or tin vessel to trans port them, it shows that he never built his dwelling to be a funeral pile for bis family and perhaps himself, When his sled is housed in summer, and his farm ing implements covered both winter and summer, it plainly shows that he will have a good house over his head in the summer of his early life and the winter of old age. When his cattle are properly shielded and fed in winter, it evidences that he is acting according to the Scripture, which says that “a merciful man is merciful to his beast.” When he ia seen subscribing for an agricultural paper and paying in advance, it shows that he is speaking like a book respecting the latest improvements in agriculture, and that be never gets his walking papers to the land of poverty. A young man, a graduate of Dart mouth, and a noted law student in Merimaok county, Me., who had the misfortune to lose liis hearing, having settled on a farm in the west, writes thus of the occupation he lias chosen : “There isn’t much glory on u farm, but ye i get a good, sure living. You are your own master; you can’t starve, or lie turned out of business; and as far as the work is concerned in these days of horse-power, a man needn’t kill himself hirming any more than at any other business. It is brains that win on a farm as well asevery- where else, and tho smart man ingoing to ride, while the stupid one goes on foot, in the corn field as well as in the bar or pulpit. 1 should like to have my hear ing again, but I wouldn’t leave my farm If 1 had it.” If farmers have scrub stock they had better fatten it ami sell it, and with the proceeds buy improved stock. They can’t lmy as much with the money as they had before, but if they will keep j less, they will keep it better, and it will I bring better returns. It is just as wise for a farmer to stick to the old bull* tongue plow of fifty years ago, as to hold on to scrub stock, on which there has been no improvement for fifty years. The world moves. There has been prog ress in breeds as well as in implements and machines, and it is the part of wisdom in fanners to avail themselves ot the great improvements that have Wen made. A noon Ootswold sheep has a large, wide frame, with abundance of valuable wool, a large head, eyes wide from each other across the forehead, not long from the eye to the nose, jaw deep ami taper ing to the mouth; ears long and fine, the head well covered with wool, a grand arched neck, set on highfeedine up to the ears, ribs well sprung out from the liaok aud chines, a prominent, full ex panded client, deep fore-Hanks, w ide hack and loin, rump nicely formed all round from one loin to the other, heavy leg of mutton, good and full in the twist, moderate-sized bones, feet small, clean and upright in the (swterior or tetlook joints. Canada farmers claim that six bushels of (icas are equal to ten bushels of corn for fattening hogs, and that peas yield a larger number of bushels to tire acre than corn. It may he so there, but it is not so here. Orchard grass, Kentucky blue gra**, and white clover, and. if the ground is low or moist add mi-top, and you will ! have the finest and most productive !

Bean ClLTl'RE.—With beans at a bushel, is it not advisable for farmer* to plant them? Now is the time to put them in the ground. Is there a more healthful food ? Every farmer should raise ten to fifteen bushels a year for table purposes. They are good, summer and winter. Farmers need a greater variety of foot! than they usually have. They will keep healthier, stronger, and live better by paying more attention to a variety of food for family purposes. We hope every farmer will plant at least an acre of white or navy beans. The Difference. —Borne suppose that very learned man is an educated man. o such thing. That man is educated who knows himself and takes an accurate cominon-ecnse view of men and things around him. Borne very learned men are the greatest fools in the world. The reason is, they are not educated men. Learning is only the means, not the end; its value consists in giving the means of acquiring, the use of which, properly managed, enlightens the mind. The right way to keep sheep is to keep them in the best manner; to keep only so many as to have the best care and attention, so as to give the largest weight of fleece possible. The right way is to cull out the poor ones yearly-- those with the light fleeces, those that are getting advanced in years—and put them in a separate pasture, and fatten them for the butcher. The balance will do better, and give more weight of fleece by this careful culling. Ancient Harvests.— In Varro’stime one acre of ordinary land yielded rather better than twenty-one bushels of wheat, and the acre of the best land thirty-two bushels; this was about eight or ten times the seed sown. Yet when Colu mella wrote in a succeeding reign, there was no land, as he declares, that pro duced four times its seed. In Varro’s time wheat sold-for about sixty-five cents a bushel, in Columella’s lime for three times as much. Mui,h Breeding,—ln Africa female mules were nearly as prolific as mares, accoiding to the statement of (lolumella. This same assertion is repeated by Cato. According to Lyell, such cases now' occur in Bpain and Italy, and much more frequently in the West Indies and Holland; but these mules, our author observes, never breed In cold climates, seldom in warm regions, ami Htill more rarely in temperate climates. Small. farms make near neighbors; they make good roads; they make plenty of good schools and churches; there is more money made in proportion to tlie labor ; less labor is wanted; every thing is kept neat; less wages have to be },aid ior help ; less time is wasted; more is raised to the acre; besides, it is tilled batter; there is no watching of hired help; the mind is not kept in a worry, stew, and fret all the time It would lie a real blessing to every j state of the union to put so heavy a tax ou narrow wheels upon heavy wagons and cartH that they would become quite obsolete, millions of dollars would lie I saved to the people of eacu state in re pairs of roads, in repaid of wagons, ami I in horse- flesh.— Jlootirr Patron. Ancient Chinese writers class the pursuits of mankind into lour divisions of scholars, husbandmen, mechanics and merchants, and estimate their rank and importance in the state according to the scries. Burely wo can learn much from the Chinese. In China it is said that, in order to induce the lalairers to hoe about the cot ton plant deeply, the roaster formerly used to secrete copper coins about the roots of the plants. The workmen would then sift and comb out the soil to find them. North Carolina has paid for fertil izers within the past twelve months $.1,000,000; Georgia, $2,000,000; Vir ginia, perhaps more. These figures appall some of the newspapers, which suggest that the manure “costs more than it comes to.” A bust Son Among Indians. Mr. G. Fisher, ot Fredericksburg, Texas, arrived here on Wednesday in search of a aon, stolen by Indians thirteen years ago, when only twelve years old. The boy was found among the Comanche hand, and recognized by his father in -1 stantly. flis embraces were received by the son with stoic indifference and imbe cile smiles, aud nothing would induce him to recognize his father or consent to go home witli him, until General Mackenzie interfered and authoritatively told him he had to go. Profuse promises of horses, guns, etc., dear to the Indians here, made no impression on him. He seems to feel the parting from the Indians very keenly. A dusky maiden, whom the chief prom ised to give him for his wife, it he would remain, seems to lie at the bottom of it. The old mother is said to be almost 1 1 antic with joy at the recovery of a son whom she belie veil dead. Father and sou will leave for Fredericksburg on Sun day. the 16th. A Disinfectant.

Fourteen Boxes of Him. About a month ago we published an article from a foreign journal detailing the purchase by Prof. Ward, of this city, of the celebrated elqMni primogenin*, for a large sum, and stated that it was intended to ship the gigantic affair to America. Some time ago Prof. Ward returned to Rochester, and yesterday his works did follow him. At least fourteen large boxes of them did follow him, and their arrival was the occasion of no little wonderment on the part of those who saw them. The reconstruction of this famous animal, when taken apart and packed in boxes, weighed something over seven tons, and from this its size may be imagined. The freight upon the boxes from Stuttgart to New York was $682, and the cost of bringing them from New York to Rochester by the canal was SB6. They were loaded u(>on their arrival here yesterday, into a train of freight wagons and conveyed to Prof. Ward’s celebrated workshops, near his residence, in the rear Of the University buildings. The task of putting together the separated por tions of the mammoth will commenee this morning, and to assist in the labor an experienced artist from Germany aud two from New York have been engaged by Prof. Ward. The task will consume several weeks, and when it is completed one of the greatest curiosities will be ready to be looked at. The mammoth is intended for the University of Virginia, and is one of the gifts of the late Lewis Brooks to that institution. The learned Professor has nearly completed his col lection for the museum of that Univer sity, which Brooks presented, and next week will ship the seventeenth car-load of curiosities, which will finish the task.

Republican. Keep Borax in file House. Having long used borax for various domestic and hygienic purposes, I have come to regard it as a necessity. House keepers who do not use it have some thing yet to learn concerning a very con venient and useful article. In the laun dry it is economical, as it saves both la bor and soap, and is really cheaper than tho latter. For blankets and other large articles it is especially valuable, and in all cases the use of a little borax will save half the labor when articles arc much soiled, while it is not injurious to clothes. It is perfectly effectual in driving away red ants, cockroaches, etc., if sprinkled around on pantry shelves, or put in small quantities on paper and placed in the runways of the insects. Borax is also of great value for toilet uses. For rot oving dandruff and cleans ing the hair it is unequalled. It is also a good remedy for rough face and chap lied hands. Its application to wounds, sores, bruises, sprains, etc , proves very salutary, and is often the only remedy re quired even in severe cases. Indeed, borax is one of the best remedies for many ailments in our whole hygiene,and for that reason alone should he kept ready for use when wanted. That prepared by Bmith Brothers is the best, anti can be obtained of almost any grocer or drug gist. There arc many other uses for bo rax which I need not specify, but those I have mentioned are alone enough to satisfy any family of the value of the ar ticle, aud to all such, as well as those who do not understand its properties, I repeat, keep borax in the house.— A Housekeeper in N.
