Marietta, March 13, 1877. ly An *74*851 c\ew u yielu, £yoh®t was v<.re on te o-1 acres.]) w to I els per JrCi reside with i 4 l£.es aU.^o fouit®)* 4 * - were ifeml jm ~..atem\lc,' vfa; so ‘tile ma chino’l*/ ctTLiDEVera 1 acres • and when tire grass was ready'to put t’P I hitched them to the rake and they did that work well.” As an argu inert in favor of ox en, he said he could use them moderately all through the sea son, and then turn them oil' in the fall or winter fat at a profit rang ing from $25 to SSO. A. J. R 1 odes, at the same meet-, ing, said that use oxen should not be in a hurry.— Whereupon Mr. Armstrong re sponded that if Mr. Rhodes meant to convey the idea that oxen are too slow for the farm, he was not altogether right. “On the heavy land,” said lie, “they’canjplough as much as horses. I have never had trouble by getting too little land ploughed for a day’s work. The difficulty is in getting men to plough little enough in a day with good horses. I believe I have never ploughed more than an acre and a half in a day, and when I have reached that 1 have not been satisfied that the work was well done. But without re gard to the area to be ploughed, I have seen many yokes of oxen that would keep up with fast walking horses.’ President Hoffman added, “far mers lose sight of what oxen need to make them profitable workers. They want care us well as abun dant food. Some years ago I saw a yoke entered at a ploughing match in which ten teams were engaged, all horses but the one. The field was smooth, with no ob struction. The drivers of horse teams were inclined to ridicule the man who had the oxen. They had much sport in fixing a place for him, but be said lie would keep out of their way if (hey would give him the lead. They told him to try it, and he did. He took the lead with his oxen and he kept it, gaining in a little while a whole round on some of the horse teams. Ho got the work out of his oxen by being careful with them and feeding them well. They were as well carded as hor ses, and were always sleek i.nd fat.” In his business he kept two or three yokes employed, and he regarded it as good economy fo keep them well. lie said if an accident occurred to a fat ox in the woods rendering him unfit for work, he could be driven to Hie shambles; as, for instance, a bro ken leg hardly lessens the value, but with a horse it is a total loss of the animal. He did full work with his oxen, even in the hottest days of summer. A. D. Mills said that oxen can plough well, but horses are better for dragging, as they can travel with greater ease on soft ground. -J. S. VanDuzer thought that on many large farms where three or four teams of horses are kept one or two of them could bo exchan ged for oxen with profit. The Manorial Value of Salt. Salt has been employed in Eu rope as manure from time imme morial, and is still used both there and in fhis country, not only to induce the growth of some marine plants, but to impart solidity to the grain and stiffen (he stems of cereals cultivated on lands defi cient in chlorine and soda. Its advantage to growing plants sus tained by experience, is als© to be inferred from a knowledge of its composition. In a pure slate it consists of sixty parts of chlo rine and forty of sodium in every one hundred parts. Sodium chem ically combined with oxygen forms soda. Salt, therefore, must furnish two of the important con stituents in the ash of every veg etable. Its great affinity for wa ter has the effect, like that of gypsum, of attracting dews and atmospheric vapors to the grow ing crop. by which if is supplied *\nlh beyond tit A-ftallW 1 ® 1 ! an, G , T-.r H|iures. and Ml increased [ fOw, minuU^ 3 teri*'^- - ) u, md fresh gh> oods 0 ods at fcVCall and if not cheaper t*.u m Mv stock is the lines! in H* delivoUiiil-i ieusparagas, eoli-i.-^ yield a .luxuriant gro> 1 ' s kill not o%'ly young,. nv plants in,t !i('iiv‘.yi|.

Grasses were benefit ted in some situations by a mode rate annual dressing; that grow ing on soil near the sea not re quiring as much as on interior lands. On some soils, it is plain to be seen, salt yields no benefit, as for instance such as are near the sea coast or such as contain chlorine and soda in any other forms. liisstilvutl Bones on Grass Land. The following bit of experi ence is given by a Yorkshire, cor respondent in one of the'Loudon agricultural journals show that farmers should trttfc nriake haste in pronouncing judgi&i nt on experiments until sufficient time has passed to thoroughly demonstrate said experiments. This correspondent said: “La-t January I dressed a very poor plain or sheep run, twenty one acres, with about fourteen loads of farm-house manure—not. very rotten —on four acres. The rest of the pasture was sown about three weeks later with special dissolved bones, at the rate of 400 pounds per acre. The effect of the first, dressing was soon vis ible and the four acres were dis-. tinetly marked out from the rest showing where the manure was applied. As this remained un changed till tho beginning of April, and the artificial manure then appeared to have been used in vain, judgment was given in favor of the yard manure. After this, however, we had some warmer weather, with fine grow ing showers, which soon altered matters, and the line of demarca tion became each day less dis tinct, till at length the superiori ty of the bones became mani fest. I have now (June 10) got a most luxuriant mixture of gras ses—chiefly red and white clovers —from the portion sown with ar tificial manure. On the four-acre piece there is scarcely any clover and only a poor share of rye grass and other common varieties. I have used dissolved bones on a good deal of grass Ibis year, and the result in each case is aston ishing. My land is a strong, loamy clay.” ‘d A ('heap Ice-Hotise. An exchange gives the follow ing plan for a cheap ice house large enough to supply an ordi nary family during the year: ‘A pile of ice eight feet square and the same height is enough for family use. For such a pile build the house ten feet square and the same height, as there must be a foot of sawdust all around the ice—-sides, bottom and top. The house can be made on the simplest plan possible— two frames of four-inch stuff for bot tom and top, nailing the boards on these upright. (July a single wall is needed.

Make a stiff batter of about one pound of Hour with the water quite warm. When light, I mix my bread im mediaitely, for if left too long the sponge falls and the bread is not so good. Use salt to suit and warm wa ter to mix with until quite stiff. When the dough is light mould it into loaves and set to rise again in a warm place until light, and bake one-half to three-quarters of an hour in a good oven, as that lias much to do with having good bread. For corn bread take one cup of wheat flour and two-cups corn meal. I use the white of two eggs one third cup either sugar or mq ' lasses, two tablespoonsful molted lard or butter, two tablespoonsful Cream of tartar sifted with the (lour, one teaspoonful soda, dis solved in warm water; mix with sweet milk to a stiff batter. Fa iling tfie Corn Stalks. —The greatest benefit to bo had from stalks as fodder, is from those that are cut green just after the ears are well glazed. If cut. at that stage, the stalks are really good, provided they lare. well cured. I have wintered cattle entirely on stalks, and they came out in the spring hearty and strong. If the stalks are cut at the period nam ed, the cattle will eat them up clean, leaving no more refuse than they would of hay. I pre fer to feed them in the field, be cause by tramping or soiling there must be some whole stalks spoiled, aqj they make trouble in pitching manure. One year I cut the stalks for six or eight cows, and I did not find the fod der eaten any more closely than when fed whole. My plan would be to feed the stalks, whether cut or whole, without mixture, and the grain separately.— O. 1). In man, Elmira , N. Y. At a meeting of the Fanners’ Club of West Millbury, Mass., Mr. Baker spoke of rye having been pastured continuously for four years, and giving a grain crop. Mr. Ifall went beyond this by mentioning that he knew of a field of rye being pastured for seven years continuously by sheep, (fiber farmers present said that winter rye will continue growing year after year if it is pre vented from going to seed.
