Ono Way 1> H'l'd Old Worn Out Soil Ho
A* to ri3al;e It ri'cwhife
Can the average of l a.hits cause their
acres to produce double ivliat they now
do, is tin' question. The hahit of ••run
ning*'the 1: nl iv!iie!i is occupied for
fafraing purposes without remunerating
the soil is a starving process. The his
tory of very many of the New Eng
land farmers at the pro; ent time is that
their farms have become barren and are
offered for stile at grea: !y reduced prices,
the occupants feeling determined, either
“for better or for worse," to “go west.”
These eastern lands have been neglected,
and as mature i di ■ r.od to clothe the
surface soil with something, her invita
tion is for the worthless moss, hardback,
brakes and i nfruitful briers to enter
Upon it and take full possession.
A New Jersey writer claims that had
the grass and pasturing lands been fer
tilized with a plnu ■. of bone and other
commodities, dairying and wool growing
would be profitable and the farmer
would soon bo .accommodated with a
plethoric purse. And if the farmer
should keep a portion of his farm under
clover, to be “farm 1 under,” and keep
up this proct ss yearly, ho would soon
find Himself purchasing lumber for stor
age purpose:; and not be under the disa
greeable ueeiity of selling out and
leaving (perhapsVa once stately mansion
and home of Ins fathers. We advise all
the farmers of the country (with few ex
ceptions) to grow largely of clover to
turn under, thereby making every one
acre to produce more than two acres
with the common practice of farming.
Even give the soil a bountiful percentage
for its productions, making old land
young again by I 1 din;; it with anything
and everything that u ill give growth tc
vegetables and fruits, and, my word for
it, that, “young man," you will soon be
invited to tarry where you are, or go east
in place of "going west.”
Judge Buel, the om-e enterprising ed
itor of The Alb: ,iy Cultivator, purchased
in about the \ ar 10-iO a lapge portion of
what was called the “sandy barrens,”
lying between t henectady and Albany,
and put upon it pi. v.'. j. of ..dies, leached
and unleached, lime and other ingredi
ents, and brought up from the old sand
bed a farm of surprising fertility. Ashes
was his “anchor sheet" in his first efforts
on his trial farm; afterwards clover was
well attended to.
West Mono nf TANARUS;. ins Cattle.
At the New York Fanners’ institute
held at. Delhi, the question was asked:
“What is the i ,t mode of tying cattle
in Delaware coanivV" N. M. Blisli re
])lied, in stanchions. Mr. Moore said lie
tied his in stalls.- Mr. Dowell remarked,
if you will pitch your stanchions at the
top about si'; i : . it will help the
cattle. Mr. E. Dose puts a piece on
the inside, so the cow cannot lie bo
close to the stanchion. Col. Bowen, of
Oneida, asked how inu- h one would
gain by this incline. Mr. Powell An
swered. as the cow gets up, the
a ists her in the movement. Mr. K.
Eoso said a sill of six inches width will
keep the cow back and answer the same
purpose. Mr. Dice—Will not the block
hinder the cow eating by keeping her
back? Mr. Diehard- a -Would not the
wide sill throw the cow too far back?
110 thought it, would. Mr. Powell had
seen a movable stanchion, the cow held
by a chain, allowing cows to move about
back and fortii our or live inches, lie
considers it the Ivst'thing lie lias seen.
Mr. Dysart said his stanchions slant,
with six inches back instead of front.
As to the best flooring for cow stables,

or cement, others clay under front feet,
with hind feet on plank, also plank on
top of cement.
flow to Select a Horse.
American Agriculturist advises, in se
lecting a horse, to see that the horse
stands squarely on its feet and that it
does not too out behind or toe in forward.
Run your hand slowly anti carefully
down the inside of each leg. If there is
a bunch there you will fed it. See that
the feet are sound and well spread. A
dark hoof, if sound, is always preferable
to a*white or streaked one. Look sharp
at the eye. A bright, full eye denotes
spi’-it, a mild, pleasant eye, with a
brownish rest, indicates a pleasant, af
fectionate disposition, while an eye with
a good deal of white denotes temper.
There is, perhaps, no other way to judge
a horse’s disposition so well as by a care
ful study of his eye, and tint much im
portance cannot well be attached to tho
necessity of a good disposition.

Tlie Farmer’* Scrap flasket.
Horses fed largely on other food de
mand less hay, but hay is useful in dis
tending the stomach, thus assisting
digestion. An English veterinarian
recommends as seductive to a horse
that is too delicate a feeder a little lin
seed boiled to a jelly and mixed with the
corn. Hay dampened and salted will
tempt many animals.
Hens are now getting even (by refus
ing to produce the much coveted egg)
with short sighted owners who neglected
to provide warm, dry quarters, for the
winter. The hen loves to be comfortable.
Cut a good supply of firewood and
allow it to be well seasoned, advises
American Agriculturist. The woman
wh6 can cook with green wood ufid be
pleasant with it must be but a iittlelower

“An inch of rain,” explains Popular
Science Monthly, “means a gallon of
water spread over a surface of nearly
two square feet, or a fall of about one
bunched tons o 4 an acre of ground.”
Best of All
Cough medicines, Ayer’s Cherry I’ec
tnial is in greater demand than ever.
No preparation for Throat ami Lung
Troubles is so prompt in its effects, so
agreeable to the taste, ami so widely
known as this. It is the family medi
cine in thousands of households.
“I have suffered for years from a
bronchial trouble that, whenever I take
cold or am exposed to inclement weath
er, shows itself by a very annoying
tickling sensation in the throat and by
difficulty in breathing. I have tried a
great many remedies, but none does so
well as Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral which
always gives prompt relief in returns of
my old complaint.”— Ernest A. Hepler,
Inspector of Public Loads, Parish Ter
re Bonne, La. ,
“ I consider Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral a
most important remedy
For Home Use.
I have tested its curative power, in my
family, many times (luring the past
thirty years, and have never known it
to fail. It will relieve tho most serious
affections of the throat and lungs,
whether in children or adults.”—Mrs.
L. G. Edgerly, Council Bluffs, lowa.
“ Twenty years ago I was troubled
with a disease of the lungs. Doctors
afforded me no relief and considered
my case hopeless. 1 then began to uso
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and, before I
bad finished one bottle, found relief. I
continued to take this medicine until a
cure was effected. 1 believe that Ayer’s
('berry Pectoral saved my life.”
Samuel Griggs, Waukegan, 111.
“Six years ago I contracted a severe
cold which settled on my lungs and
soon developed all the alarming symp
toms of Consumption. 1 had a cough,
night sweats, bleeding of the lungs,
pains in chest and sides, and was so
prostrated as to be confined to my
bed most of the time. After trying
various prescriptions, without benefit,
my physician finally determined to give
me Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I took it,
and the effect was magical. I seemed
to rally from the first dose of this
medicine, and, after using only three
bottles, am as well and sound as ever.”
