The results of a single top dressing on
eight plots of nearly half an acre each
of sandy warm soil of our State Agricul
tural Collage Farm exhibited the follow
ing fit ts at the end of three years : The
tip dressing was applied in 1804, and
the grass was cut tsvice each season in
186-1 and 19G5 and once in 1866. The
prrduce of each cutting and of each lot
was weighed separately and a perfect re
cord kept. The results for the four sea
sons were as tollows : On the plot to
which no.manure or fertilizer was appli
ed the total weight of hay yielded per
acre wa- 8.7-10 pounds . Where two
bushels of plaster per acre was applied
thc’yield per acre was 13,226 pounds, a
gain of 4,488 pounds. Where five
bushels of wood ashes were applied the
yield per acre was 12,907 pounds, a gain •
of 4,165 pounds. Where three bushels
of salt was sown per acre, the yield was
13.969 pounds, a gain per acre, of 5,-
227 pounds. Where 20 loads of muck
per acie was laid on, the yield per acre
was 13,816 pounds, gain of 5,074
pounds. Where 20 loads of horse ma
nure was laid on. the yield was 14.686
pounds, a gain of 6,224 pounds. These
are results which indicate that these
fertilizers will produce as good
results as plaster. For instance, the
poster yielded a gain of 51 per cent,
while the horse manure gave an increase
of 71 per cent, or nearly a ton more
grass per acre in the three 'years. —-

Time to Item!
We have often encountered many who
profess to believe that they have no time
to read. Now we think of it, there have
always been men of such characters the
points of which are easily summed
U P- .
Nine tirr.es out they are men
wdo have not found time to confer any
substantial advantages either upon their
families or themselves.
Thev frequently spend whole days in
gossipping, tippling and swapping horses,
but they have no time to read,
jt They sometimes loses day askingad
vicc of their neighbors ; sometimes a
day in picking up the news the price
cut rent, and the exchange, but these
men never have time to read. „ j
They.have time to hunt, fish, to fiddle,
to do nothing, but no time to read.
Such men genera’ly h ive uneducated
children, unimproved farms and unhap
py firesides.
They have no energy uo spirit of im
provement, no love of knowledge : they
live unknowing and unknown, and often
die unwept and unregreted.
Our advice to all isjto suds rib' |for the
Times this year, and trv to “be some*
body.”
Feeding Straw.— This article is
too valuable to be used for bedding;
when absorbents as sand, swamp muck,
leaves or sawdust can be procured.—
01 can straw cut and mixed with six
quarts of meal daily, will keep horses
that arc worked moderately in good
condition. Hay and oats may be given
on Sundays to save labor, and as a
wholesome change. Common sheep
will also do well fed on straw, with a
lit tie corn or a quart of bran daily ; the
heavier bedied breeds will require a
„pound of oil-cake meal or some roots,
and at least one feed of hay daily in
addition. Sheep need not be fed until
after breakfast as they are not early
feeders, and love to lie late. Other
stock should bo fed as early as possible.
—American Stock Journal. %
To Cure a llorse of Blind Stag
gers.—Mr. J. W. Cross, a farmer of
l)oo.ly county, gives U3 the following
recipe for the cure of horses afflicted
with blind staggers:
First Inject vinegar and black pepper
freely into the nostrils. Second take
a piece of woollen cloth, thoroughly wet
it with spirit of turpertine, cover it with
another p\eee of dry cloth, and place
both pi jeesover the eyes of the horse
and apply a hot iron. Third, drench
with strong rul pepper tea. Two hot
ties of this tea, xfter the other applica
tion, have never faded to effect a perfect
cure. —Hawkiiis villc JD l S p a tc h .
Vn shelled Corn -Corivltses one-fifth
by drying, and wheat oncs’Uurteenth.
From this, an estimate is nsaeL it
uusLclKd earn in the''fafi'a'l" 75
than at 81 a bushel m tv, f o]!owir)fr ;■ 1
uier ; ar.d that wheat at 81 ‘23 in ‘ (
her is equal to 81 50 in the preceding
June. In case of potatoes —taking those
that rot and are otherwise lust —together
with the shrinkage, there is little doubt
that between October and June the loss
t > the owner who holds them is not less
than 33 per cent.
Plain Steamed Pudding —One
pint of buttermilk or sour milk; one
half pint of sweet mHk ; one tablespoon
tiul tl soda or salcratus. Thicken with
flour to a still batter; ad 1 raisins nr
flour ; place in a pudding dish and steam
one hour. Serve with sweet sauce.
Cream Cri<ps.—Take a pint of
graham flour and mix with two table
spoonfuls sour cream and water enough
to make a dough, roll and cut in dia
mends, crossing with a knife on top,
bake uud eat warm or cold— delicious.
