STOCKBRIDQE ON YARD MANURE. BARN- It haring been stated that Prof Stock bridge in advocating his theory of the nse of chemical manures had underestimated the Talne of yard manure, which he had denominated waste products, and was in- i'nriDg the farming interest thereby, the rofessor replies: "Barn yard manure in general culture will still be king For it is and will con tinue to be an unavoidable waste product, incident to many branches of farming; a waste product of every form of dairying; a waste product of growing and fattening beef, pork and mutton, and a waste pro duct caused by the necessity of keeping teams to work pn farms and other gener al transportation. It would be the acme of ignorance and thriftlessness not to pre serve, husband and use this and all the matter of our slaughtering establishments, of all our horn, hoof, hide, bone and glue establishments; of all our wooden manu factories: of all our fisheries and the sew age of country, town and city. But after all this has been saved and utilized by ap plication to our farms, a vast field will be left for the profitable employment of thfntica) manures, and the world is asking for toe iDcreaned products, lbe fair and legitimate conclusion to be drawn from the experiments with chemicals is that bam-yard manure, valuable as it is, is not i the best material, or in the best form in which, to obtain the food of plants, if that 1 is to be purchased at its ordinary price. American f armer. j Nitrate soda (100 lbs. per acre) will . benefit grasses but not clover; for the lat ter, plhster (100 lbs,) ashes (10 bushels,) or aoa pnoeptate (iou ibsj per; acre would be good. Nitrate soda is worth about A cents per pound, in New York. Acid phosphate alone does well on cot ton, when the soil is supplied with humus, The past year we used . nothing else on our cotton crops, and the results were en tirely satisfactory. It was simply scat tered in the drills, like any other fertili- zer, nuu ueuucu on. ,! As a general thing would prefer ashes to plaster on clover though- the latter sometimes produces marvellous results Ten to twenty bushels ashes per acre is a good dressing unnecessary to use any thing with them. Green manures Act similarly to cuano, but will not produce as large crops in the beginning, and will not, therefore, exhaust land so rapidly. Barnyard manure and composts, supply all the substances need ed by plants hence their continued ap plication does not exhaust soils. y - - A combination of . acid phosphate and some lorm oi poiasn is. better lor, peas than phosphate alone, ; We. hve.i tried phosphate and Kainit- equal parte ' by weight with moat excellent results, t On clay lands the ' phosphate alone' would doubtless do well. Collards, are equal to Kutajbaea turnips in nutritive "value," and, 'considering the : greater ease with whck they may be . crown, are superior ; as stock v fsed. For that purpose they should be largely culti vateu.-- " ... ; -,v .i-c- : Sowing Seeds.- : l;''v,, : We give tha following suggestion as to eo w ing some of the .garden; crops : . V. . Cabbage requires a .' deep. fresh, loamy soil, shoujd be , liberlljLinannred -with barnyard manure, wood, ashes are very usef alrshould i be planted in rows- 15 inches apart and tenor 12 inches distant in the row. Carrots prefer a. deep, rich, light, sandy soil. Bow in drills half -inch deep and twelve inches apart, thin out to five or six icebes spirt in the row. For field culture the ground should be sub soiled and the i drills itwenty .inches apart., Should the soil become baked before the .plants ap pear, loosen it by a gentle raking. 'Celery. Sow in moist, rich ground, in drills eight or nice inches wide and half iuch deep., After sowing, roll the bed, or with a board press ; the . soil firmly, to the seeds. '' ' ' . ... .: Cucumber. Cucumber requires a very rich, warm, moist soil to grow tbem well. Bach bill should have one or two shovelfuls of well rotted manure and well mixed with the soif. The "hills, should be about three feet apart and three or four inches above the surface, j Should ft ooldsnap be apprehended they must be protected. Beets. -For an early crop tne turnip rooted varieties, are1' the best. Sow; in' dri lls from 12 to 18 inches apart, half an inch deep and about 2 inches apart in the row, then cover with a rake and press down by laying a board over the drill and walking on it to press the earth to the seeds.. JS.trly Lettuce. Take up the plants, which iiMO been sown in the open ground la autumn, !d set them in a hot bed as soon as it is made and they will be fit for the table two weeks earlier than those from seed sown in the bed. . Tight Check Rins. The London Horse Book says : The horse is often pre vented from throwing his. weight into the collar by 'tf 1 tight chectreih-M useless and painful incumbrance, introduced by vanity, and retained by thoughtlessness amounting to cruel ty.v Few of the Lon- don cab drirers use check-reins, knowing them to be inconsistent with proper work; and when one is observed, it will inva riably be found to be on some poor ani mal whose wearied and haggard appear ance is attempted to be ' disguised by this instrument of torture. ' The check rein is in nearly every case painful to the animal and useless to the driver, because it fas tens the head iu an unnatural position, aod, as the horse's shoulders , and bead fall together, cannot be of any real s Dp port in case of stumbling. - Dr Kitchen, an eminent English writer, fiays: The check rein inflicts unceasing tortdre upon the animal. By holding, the head upward, i 1 puts the muscles of the neek on a constant strain. They become painfully uneasy aod tired. If the horse cannot bear it, he rests the weight of bis head upon the rein, and his mouth is vio lently stretched. Thus be only exchauges pne torture for another. .To sum up in a word : the check-rein lessens ;the horse's strength, brings on diseases, keep him in paio, ireia sua, id j area nis moutn, ana spoils his temper. FARM NOTES. . . . . i i your potatoes are watery, put a piece of lime about as large as a hen's egg in tne pot ana boil with them, and they will come out as mealy as you please. If you want to keep your hogs: horses, cattle and sheep healthy, give then, salt tegularly. There is no better vermifuge than salt. Much of the so. called v hoc cholera is due to intestinal worms. Plen. ty of salt would prevent the accumulation ot these worms. All animals desire salt, showing that it is a want of their nature, and undoubtedly for a wise purpose. To destroy bugs on squash or cucum ber vines, dissolve a tablespoooful of salt petre in a pailtul of water, put one pint of this around each hill, shaping the earth so that it will not spread much. and the thing is done. Use more saltpe tre if you can anord it is good for vege- tables but death to animal life. The bug burrows in the earth at night and fails to rise in tne morning, it is also good to kill the "grub" in peach trees only nse twice as muob, say a quart or two to each tree. There was not a yellow 1 or blistered leaf on twelve or fifteen trees to which it was , applied last season. No danger of killing any vegetables with it- a concentrated solution applied to beans makes them grow wonderfully. When using a fine boar of an improved breed upon the coarser sows of our com mon stock, we invariably get combiped all the excellent qualities of the former, with the good nursing, digestion and prolifio qualities of the latter, and obtain the most rapid growing, and profitable pig that can be desired. v.
