The Barn-Yard.
".'he barn yard may be takoa as the
ind-x character of the farmer. Asia
the bant yard, so is the farmer. It-is
wci 1 that all of us should remember that
fn this case it is no figure of speech to
" that ‘ straws show which way the
wind blows.” The arrangements of the
barn-yard is not for show altogether.
The profits of the farm depends to a
crat extent upon it. It is in the yard
and the barns that the produce ot the
f„tm that is not sold outright, is con
verted into beef, pork, mutton, wool, or
milk and butter —articles that may be,
pvoOubly sold It is in the yard a.so
that the manure is made and kept —
The barn and the barn-yard are the man
uiactnry of the farm, and if they arc
nut arranged with a view to economy, a
l" rge wif results that reduces the
farmer’s profit. Useful buildings
•nay be made of log* and prairie sods,
or poles and coarse bay , and these, by
skillful arrangements, may be made to
to serve as useful a purpose as dressed
lumber and paint or pressed fine..—
The main points are, warmth, dryness
and ventilation; for food is wasted
when an animal shivers in its stable or
w hon its health is injured by damp,
filthy or bad air. A farmer who is
thoughful about such small things as
this (although this is more important
than it appears), may be to a care lull,
t nifty man who, by and by will be
able to build a barn, with all the im
provements, and to build it properly, too
The old proverb, “ take, care ot smal
tilings, and large onc3 will take care ot
themselves,” is applicable to matters
about faru o, and barn-yards especially.
When small things are watched, large
ones are not forgotten.
The Folly of Large Farms.
Many a man has been ruined by a
largo farm, who might have acquired a
competency on one with half the num
ber of acres. Most farmers are anxious
for Isrge plantations, and many are thus
betrayed into the error of attempting to
Work "a greater quantity of ground than
they have the means of managing
to advantage—some in the decisive hope
of acquiring these means by future sa>
vings, others from the vanity of hold
ing more land than their neighbors;
hence arises a deficiency of stock, im
perfect tillage, and scanty crops, with
all the train of rent to arenr, wages ill
paid, and debt unsatisfied, and final ru
in.
fJe who prudently commences with
Iy such a number of acres as lie has*
power of cultivating with proper effect)
is certain of raising the full return from
the soil; and his engagement being in
accordance with his means, lie enjoys
present ease of mind, and lays the su
rest foundation for future prosperity.
It, therefore, behooves'a man to weigh
well the charges with his means, and
never allow himself to be seduced by
an ideal prospect of gain into the im
prudence of entering upon a larger
farm than his capital will enable him to
manage with the spirit necessary to in
sure success.
Lf a farmer has a hundred acers it
would be much better for him to put
the price of another hundred more on
it than to buy one hundred more and
make the same labor produces double
the ertip, and not have double labor for
double crops, as is usually the case with
us. "
Cure lor Hog Cholera.
The following cure for hog cholera
has been well tested in Illinois, and
has never failed, so tar as we have ever
heard, to effect a rapid cure : Make a
strong tea from the May-apple root; for
each hundred hogs add one pound of
assafetida, and make a stiff slop with
bran. For a cure, feed once a day ;
for A preventive,,once a week
Moore’s Mixture to Preserve the
Health and Swine : Three bushel3 wood
ashes ; one-half Twobushel slacked lime ;
one-fourth bushle salt ; pounds Spanish
brown ; five pounds suphur ; one-fourth
pound saltpetre ; pound cop
peras. Pulverize the last two thorough
ly ; mix ail in a bin or box, and keep
n an open trough where the hogs can
have free access to it, and il you lack a
sufficient amount, of some ol the ingre-*
dients, mix smaller amounts of each in
the same proportion. You will soon
observe the hog in your herb who are
not doing well will oftenest visit this
trough, and their improvement will be
marked and rapid.
Kerosene Oil foe Hen Lice. —Hen
lice are among the greatest drawbacks
to the poultry yard ; they are especial
ly troublesome in small yards and coops
where the fowls cannot have free ac
cess to green food arid dry earth. We
have various remedies, and have found
kerosene oil to be a very ceffctual and
sai’e one. It is applied with very lit
tle trouble ; pour it from the can upon
the perches where the fowls roost, and
when the hens are ready to brood satu
rate the inside of the box before the
clean hay or straw is put in with the
eggs. It is very much less trouble to
use the oil than to use a wash fi< to
bweco , or to go through a process of
whitwasliiog once a month.
Trying to please everybody is like
rying ts apoloize to a lot of h roots
or lunuiuf against thesr nest.
