During the year 1873, 35,440 sheep
were killed_ and 35,035 injured by dogs
in the State of Ohio, and the aggre-
gate amount of loss from this cause was
V56,318. _
-A genteel farmer in Massachneetts,
a retired Bostonian, dide't.know how to
take a wagon wheel off to grease the
axle, and. 80 he bored holes through the
hub and poured in. the grease.
- A half barrel of apple -hater from
Fulton, N. Y., was expressed. one day
last week; over the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad, addressed
to "Her Majesty, Queen Vietoria, Buck-
ingham. Palace, England." ,
-If a horse is inclined to bite through
• the bottom of the feed box, fit some
pieces of board into it, with the grain, of
the wood running toward his body, and.
he will make no progress and soon give
up the job.
-Thrashing machines were invented.
as long ago as 1732. The principle of .
the early machine was similar to tht ash-
ing with flails. The present form of
drum with spikes revolving in a concave,
having similar spikes, was invented in
1785, although previous to 1854, wooden
rods were used instead of spikes.
-In boiling potatoes for pigs, says the
Gardener's Chronicle, they should be
strained, as the water from them is in-
jurious to a less or greater degree, as it
contains the poisonous alkaloid. called
solanine, which, it should be noted, is
more abundant when the tubers begin to
bud out.
-It is stated by those who ought to
know, that one pair of rats with their
progeny, will produce in three years no.,
less a humber than 616,848. At this
rate of multiplication it would seem
strange that we do not see more of them
but they hide and work in the dark.
Brick drains are their chosen haunts.
Skirting boards, bricks of fire -places,
under the flooring, and between the raft-
ers, are their places of breeding.
for the timothy which is to follow. It
will be largely enriched and made melt"
low, and insure a good catch if the seed
is put out in good time.
There is another way that has proved
highly successful. It is to double the
proportion of timothy- to clover -say
eight quarts of the small seedto four of
the latter per acre. This will give a fair
yield of clover, with a " bottom " growth
of timothy, making a large and excellent
crop. At the disappearance of the clover
the timothy will be . there to occupy the
field. The small proportion of the
clover enabled the timothy to get a good
footing, filling up the vacant space, giv-
ing also a chance for the sun and air to
help it on. It is true that the clover by
this method will not be so • heavy -
though a good crop -yet the lack will al-
most be made up by the timothy. This
addition will make a fine tender feed,.
and afford variety. It will do excellent-
ly for all kinds of stock, if harvested in
time. My, friend Smith, mentioned by
me in these columns before, makes this
his practiee, only he SOWS much more
seed per acre. He always has a heavy
sod from the start. The land being good,
and in good condition, he grows large
crops Of timothy, thecloveraiding in the
preparation of the land by enriching and
mellowing it, the nitrogen gathered by
the clover being taker, up at dice, or be-
fore the rains wash it out. In, this way
the timothy is saved and. made to do ser-
vice from the start.
A crop of pure clover is excellenta a
crop byitself, capable of being made a
large yield, and is highly nutritious for
winter feed, while the land is immense-
ly improved; but it does not leave it a
meadow. Clover is eminently a grass
killer. There must he a chance given
for the timothy, and from the start, else
the poWerful legume will ctsmother and
kill it. F. G.

-An Indiana correspondent reports a
number of instances in that State where
farmers who had become wealthy from
steady pursuit of their legitimate busi-
ness for a lifetime, have recently lost
their entire estatesby speculation, or by
joining hands with their sops in outside
enterprises, with the merits of which
they had only slight acquaintance.
Doubtless these instances can be multi-
plied throughout the country, but they
all teach one lesson "Stick to the busi-
ness you understand, and never place a
mortgage on the farm."
-The Indianapolis JOIRmal notes that
the stainline walnut trees on a half sec-
tion of lent in Miami Comity, Ind., were
sold recently for $17,000. There is a
large amount of ether timber on the
tract which is not included, only the
walnut timber being sold. Walnut km-
ber is coming more and more into use
throughout the United States and
Europe, and at present a very large busi-
ness is done in preparing and shipping it
from Indiana. Indiana has more of this
titaber than any other State.
-How to make country lie socially
helpful and pleasant in winter is a time-
ly questioa now. Nothing can well show
a much wider contrast than the present
activities in large towns compared. with

adopted by 'seine of the Granges, to or-
ganize a: little pleasure in the midst of

Pices than these offered; and if some-
thing looking toward culture and men-
tal entertainment should be added, the
result would be still further fruitful of
Owl. To our, mind, there is nothing
equal to a well arranged debating • club
or reading circle, and. where a paper is
edited and read weekly, the interest ex-
cited is usually as edifying as it is
salutary. There is, hardly any cot ary
district which cannot be helped in this
way, and. it only wants one or two ener-
getic spirits who 8'20 take the brunt of
the battle to make any one or all of the
suggested plans successful.

EDITORS 001INTRY-*GENTLEMAS : The
custom of sowing timothy and clover to-
gether is an old and extensive one, and
pretty well established, showing that it
has something to recommend it; yet an
immense loss is sustained as it is now
• practiced. In the first place, there is
the too common habit of thin sowing, '
I then that of late sowing • also that if
! sowing on poor land or bail prepared.
Every reasonable farmer knosfs that thin
seeding, or a poor catch, is w rse than no
seeding at all, as at best it gives brit part
of a crop, which idoes not pay for the
labor and seed expended, and the use of
implements and land. A total failure,
as was the case two years ago, is prefer-
able, as it necessitates the re -plowing
and, re -seeding of the land, with a chance
of improvement, if the same recklessness
is net repeated, which generally is, trust-
ing to the season for luck, and not to a
judicious preparation of the soil. The
majority of seecliags are too thin, the
land does not carry what it is capable of
doing, and what affords the greatest pie -
fit, and the trust is to nature for Aupply-
ing what the farmer neglected. But this
is a slow process, and will not succeed if
the land , is not suited to it, which it
rarely is. We cannot afford to wait; it
is loss. .Itis a blind effort to attempt to
grow a good crop on poor land, whether
this crop is of grass or grain. It requires
a good soil for grass or clover, as well as
for grain or anything else. But we seem
to be thoughtless. We are apparently of
the opinion that forage plants are an en-
richer of the soil (which is true enough),
and all that is necessary is to put in the
crop. The failures have been so numer-
ous that it is a surprise that farmers
should persist in. such a course. They do
not estimate the cost.
Thus mach for general seeding. Now
for clover and timothy in particular.
The usual way is to sow equal partsby.
measure. This is the cause of much mis-
chief. Where the land is good and the
seeding a thick one as it should be, the
first year or two will show a heavy yield
of clover, which smothers the timothy.
At the end of two years, when the clover
disappears, the land must be re -plowed
or re seeded which may be done with ad-
vantage. Harrow well in the spring as
soon as the land. will bear it; sow and
cover the seed ; a Thomas' smooth-
ing harrow is the best to do this,
as it does'not bury the seed. too deeply;
or SOW on the late snows. This will af-
ford.a crop the same season, and secure a
good stand. The fault here is the loss of
the seed (timothy) in the first sowing.
The clover should have been sowed alone.
This is the plan I prefer. Get all the
clover the land will bear, by preparing
the soil well and sowing thiak. This
will be one of the most paying crops,
and, besides, the land. will be prepared

In certain cases, grease or oil may be
highly beneficial to the hoof; in others
it is simply superfluous, while in some
few instances of weak and badly com-
pacted. horn it may even soften unduly.
In Arabia and Hindostazi Where the feet
are little exposed to moisture, and es-
pecially seldom to those alternative soak-
ings and dryings which deteriorate the
horn and render it brittle, the hoof ac-
quires the hardness of _flint, and being
saved from the injuries of the knife and.
rasp, together with the other dangers of
shoeing, they are strong and perfect
enough to stand any ordinary; amount of
work with impunity, for these hoof oint-
ments are useless, if not absolutely hurt-
ful. In particular parts of America, in
dry seasons ; and in carefully -shoed
horses, an eppro3dmation to this con-
dition may be found. Again, in feet
with thin imperfect horn of a loose and
open. texture, and with very slight pow-
ers of resistance, the constant soaking
with pure oil or fat may so soften the
hoof that it tends to yield, to become dis-
torted, and to favor serious changes in
the internal structures. But in the
great niajolity of cases in this country',
in which the hoof has been unfairly cut
and rasped in shoeing, .so that the open
ends of the horny tubes are exposed to
exhale their moisture, and in which the
horn has been robbed of its natural
toughness and resistance by alternate
soaking in liquid and drying up for want
of it, the tendency to cracks, • inflamma-
tion, &ce, may be largely obviated by the
use of some.greasy coating for the entire
hoof. This may be applied once a week,
or even oftener, the objectbeing toipre-
vent evaporation and retain the normal
moisture of the hoof. It has the further
advantage of preventing the absorption
of an excess of water darring the muddy
seasons, and the consequent decreased
power of resistance in the horn, and the.
tendency to brittleness on drying again.
But if some agent is added which will
prove a stimulant to the horn, the value
of the application will be materially en-
hanced. Thus the combination of equal
parts of Barbadoes or common wood 'tar
and tallow or castor oil will furnish a
very useful, protective and stimulating
application .to the horn. -James Law,

THOMAS LEADBEATER
RECEIVED A
LARGE ASSORTMENT
Capabilities of an Acre.
J. M. Smith, a market gardener, of
Green Bay, furnishea the I 1 orticultitria
some interesting statements of his ex-
periments in high culture. He has
found the rule invariable, not a single
exception to it, that the more he has
spent in cultivating and manuring the
greater have been the net profits per
acre. Last season he cultivated fourteen
acres, and began with a more thorough
and. expensive cultivation than ever be-
fore. The result was that, although
there was a "terrific drought" -one of
the dryest seasons ever known in that
region --after spending $3,986, or $384
per acre, he had a better balance than at
any previous year. He appears to re-
gard constant cultivation, especially
through drought, in connection with co-
pious manuring, as all important. Stable
manure is the standard; with such use
of superphosphates, plaster, lime, ashes,
and other manures; as experience and
good. sense point out. "After you have
learned how to spend money to the best
advantage," he remarks, "a ,larger
profit may be made by laying out three
hundred dollars per acre than with less.
After the second year, if your land_ does
not pay all its expenses, taxes, and ten
per cent. on one thousand dollars per
acre, there is something wrong some-
where. I have some acres of laud that
did not pay expenses for two years, but,
for a number of years past, have not
failed to pay 10 per cent. on at least
$2,000 per acre. I 6xpeef my whole
garden to do more than that in a _short
time," He adds that he is now aiming
at 1,000 bushels of onions per acre, then
a emit of carrots or turnips, or 500.bush.
of early potatoes • or, if strawberries,
12,800 quarts, or 100 bushels per acre.
This amount of strawberries is not
wholly impossible, as we have known,
under our own observation, this rate on
two-thirds of an acre.
