Agricultural And Domestic

TnE busy season for farming is upon us. Reoollect thcre is no resurreetion for dcad time. Potatoes should be ent and spread out to dry in the shado for three or four days before planting. A fahmer who drífts into the year's work without any plan is like a General who starts out on a oampaign without arrangements, or a lawyer going into court without preparation for his cases. The speculative farmer is the man of large means and a smail stock of practical sense. He invests his money in expensive buildings and unavailable stock - fails and reports farming as unprofitable. -Iovia State Register. Mr. J. M. Saiith, Green Bay, Wis., one of the most successful farmers and market gardeners in his State, says, in the Western Rural, that hecannot see any prospect for " high prices " for, at least, somo years to come, and that the only possible way to get better returns is to raise larger crops on less land at lower cost. TuiïNiPS. - Kecent experiments havo shown the result of growing turnips tliree successive years in the same ground, without manure, to be aa follows : The first year the yield of roots was 9,388 pounds ; the second year 4,956 pounds, and the third year 1,536 pounds. The result fi'oin the samo piece of land and the same erop for three successive years, with the addition of twelve tons of farm-yard ruanure, was an increase in the yield the first year to 22,233 pounds; the second year's erop inereased to 24,108 pounds, while in the third year a erop was obtained of 38,170 pounds. In these experiments the beneficial influence of the farm-yard manure is clearly evident two years after its first application. Corns on Hobses' Feet. - When a horso's foot is not properly prepared for the shoe ; wlien the shoe is too narrow or too wido ; when it is irapropcrly nailed on ; when allowed to remain on the foot tco long before removal and paring of the sole, then corns are almost certam of being produced. The avoidance of these causes of corns constitutes their prevention, and, to a great extent, álso their cure. The careful loweringof the inside heel, sufficiently to remove its beuring upon the shoe ; applying a properly -fitting shoe, and resetting or renewing the same at least once monthly, will result in a gradual diminution of the oorn, as the hoof grows down. - National Live Stook Journal. Gleais Titles. - Every land-owner sliould know that he has a clear title to bis real estáte. Avery small thiiig may, ia the course of time, serve as a foundation upon which to set a frandulent claim. Deeds are frequently not recorded whicli form an important link in the chain ; and, as time passes awa.v, and circumstances are forgotten, no one questions the title, and all is weJl. Years afterward, when previous openers are dead, some question comes up, some widow or minor heirs put in a elaiin, and a lawsuit, with its expenses and delays, is the resnlt. There are thousands of farmers who are not able to describe their farms by section, town and range; and, if thoy were called on to do so before the court, they would ignominiously fail. Cure for Cholera. - I will give the public a reciije whieh I have been using for more than four years, and flnd perfect; the number of fowls that I nave is 300 : Take onc gallon of rneal, two table-spoonfuls of epsom Balts, four tablespoonfuls of Jimo, and ten drops tincture of iron. Sfcir tlie mixture well in tlic meal, then mix it with vator, not too wet, Kut so that it will crumble. It takes half a bushel for the number which I keep. Once a week is often enougli to give it for a prcventive, but it should be given oftener if the fowla are actually disensed, and plenty of clean water to drink. When the cholera örst visited me, I had over 600 fowln. I lost tbem all but sixty-three, not knowing of this valuable medicine at the time. - Cor. Poultry World. Ibbigating Gabdens. - The Prairie Farmer describes an experiment by which a quarter-acrewaseasily irrigated, promoting the vigorous growth of vegetation, especially celery, and also cauliflower, cabbage, and other suoculent plants. The plants being in a row, light furrows were run between them and water poured in to reacli the roots. Wlien these were well soaked, the earth Tras thrown back and covered the wet soil. The work was done with a narrow " bull-kmgue," flxed to a low frame with a wheel, iised for cultivating by hand between rows. Tuis left the bottoln oi the furrow loose, and it readily absorbed the water. The object of this mode was to niake a moderate quantity of water go a good way, by applying it directly to the roots. CüEB FOB HaLTBE BbEAKERS. - Put the horse into a common head-stall halter ; take a three-eighth or one-half inch new rope abont seventeen or eighteen f eet long ; doublé it as for driving lines ; put the center of the rope nnder the tail as you would a crupper and give it one or two twists; pass the end under the girth, sending an end each side of the horse's neck, and then through Hm nose piece of the head-stall on eaeh sido of the horse's mouth (if a bridlo is on, put fho ropes through the bridle bit riugs) ; and tie to a strong, well -set post, leaving threo f eet play of the rope. Givo hiin au invitation to go back, usirig his ordinaryscare. The rope attackshjs tail, and he at once comes forward. For his coming forwiird pot him. If these mstructions are followod a few times - the horse being socurely tied to tho post - a permanent euro will follow, - Exchanye. About tho House.
