FIELD GLEANINGS. TREATMENT OP BALKY HORSES.-The society for tbe prevention of cruelty to nnimnls publishes tho following rules for tho treatment of balky horses. In * cas? ono of these planB doss not Buoceed, try another : 1. Pat the horse upon the neck ; ex amine the harness carefully^ first on ono side, then on the other, speaking encouragingly while doing so ; then jump into the wagon and give tho word go ; gonerally ho will obey it. *2. ? teamster ia Mame says bo c?J? start the worst balky horse by taking him ont of the shafts and making him go around in a circle till he is giddy. If the first dance of this sort does not cure him, a second will. 8. To cure a balky horse, simply place your hand over the horses's nose, and shut off his wind until he wants to go. ?. The brain of a horse seems to en tertain butene idea at a time; therefore, whipping only confirms bis stubborn resolve. If you can, by any means, give him a new subject to think o! you will generally have no trouble in start ing him. A simple remedy is to take a couple of turns of stout twine around the fore leg, just below the knee, tight enough for the horse to feel, and tie in n bow-knot. At the first check he will probably go danoing off, and after going a short distance, you can get down and remove the string to prevent injury to the tendon, in your further drive. A CORN CROP WITHOUT KAIN.-A cor respondent of the Farmer's Vindicator says he last year raised eighty bushels of corn to the acre with brit one rain, which fell on the 15th of June. He tolls how it was done as follows : I laid my rows three and a half feet apart, threw ont with a turning plough, ran a deep furrow with a bull-tongue in the water furrow, put sixty bushels of oot ton seed in the bull-tongue furrows, threw four furrows with the turi plough, reversing the b"d, planted mj corn very shallow on the top of tht ridge, and cultivated shallow with shorl ootton shovel, the first two ploughings. Laid by with a turning plough, running shallow nearest the corn, deeper in th? middle of the rows. Ithen took a long bull-tongue and subsoiled by running two furrows in the middle of the rows, leaving a small loose bed eight or ter inches deep. I tried subsoiling on dif ferent pieces of land, both in corn anc cotton, and I fonnd in gathering th( crop a difference of four hundred poundi of ootton per acre in favor of the aor< subsoiled. A Bia CORN FARM IN ILLINOIS.-Tin t Nashville Union and American quote the Western Bural to the effect that Mt M. Ii. Sullivant, a farmer in centra Illinois, was, at the time of writing preparing to plant his corn. His mei were ploughing five hundred acres day, using two hundred and fifty teamE and he had then ready about twelv thousand, acres. Dr.. Lee adds: Mi Sullivant is one of the largest and mos systematic farmers in the United Statet wno made a present to a railway con pany of 828,000 to construct an iro road to and across his plantation c some forty thousand aerea. He em grated from the Soioto bottoms, net Columbus, where, like many Ohi farmars, he learnt the art of raisin corn at a small coat to the produce At the time of the organization of tl ; United States agricultural society 1 was a distinguished Ohio farmer, y not unwilling to sell a large estate : one hundred dollars per acre to lay tl foundation of a much broader one t tho rich prairies of central Illinois, the government price for land. FOREIGN BIRDS FOR AMERICA.-A vei deserving institution has recently bei b , established in Cincinnati, under tl title of Cincinnati Acclimatization S oiety, its object being to effect the inti duction of suoh foreign birds as a worthy of note for their song or tht services to the farmer and hortioulturii The Manufacturer and Builder say The society announces that last pprii it expended five thousand dollars introducing fifteen additional species birds, and that it has already succei fully accomplished the acolfmatizati of-tho European sky lark, which stated to be now a prominent feature . the summer landscape in the vicinity . Cincinnati. Among the species whi it is proposed to introduce is the I ropean titmouse, considered abroad one of the most successful foes of inse< injurious to vegetation. A HOPEFUL VIEW OF IMMIGRATION. Col. Daniel. Dennet, in an article immigration, in Our Home Journal, 1 the following1 hopeful views : In sp of tho predictions of politicians, c state governments, high taxes, ne* rule, "kn-kiux" and "bandits," the i migrants are preparing to enter I south. . . . The seven bundi thousand square miles of southern t rltory yet uncultivated will be, ii great measure, settled up by indual . ons farmers from other lands, .1 vast mineral resources of tho soi will be turned to valuable account. C beautiful south is not doomed to either Africanized, or utterly destroy ,by dcm a Rogues, or allowed to go bi " into a wilderness state. Its future -\ be more glorious than its past. It t yet be tho. garden spot, the glory t prido of this continent. It will be pi perons and rich in duo time, or vritor does not truly -understand "signs of the times. . TOBACCO IN FLORIDA.-According tibe monthly report of tho departm of agriculture, Gadsden county, Flori has produced for forty years a vari grown from seed obtained in Cn having a small, narrow loaf, and \ sessing to a remarkable degree the criber aroma and delicate fragrance highly prized in the Havana oigar. '. report adds : Since the advent of C man buyers, an artiole was introdn whioh produces the "Florida wrappi and is now the main growth. Its lea are sometimes three feet in length i twenty inches in breadth, of a fine si texture, admirably adapted to use wrappers, the coarser leaves being n , very acceptably as fillers. Anot variety, medium in size, introdn ' ' "' ? 1 ni.fico the war, highly aromatic, o somewhat pungent makes a stron cigar. COLOR NO TEST IN JERSEY CATTLI A correspondent of the English A, ?7 "^fcshv cultural Gazette, protcatu soumet m ing color a test in judging Jersey cows. Col. Waring, in the American Agricul turist doea the same thing. The Eng lish writer says : I have owned hun dreds of Jersey stock, and have never, as a rule, found the whole colored suoh large producers as many parti-colored ones ; in fact, by far tho most butter producing cow I have ever possessed, was not only parti-ooiored, but the most ugly and ungainly beast of the lot, yet her stock havo never failed to show their large butter making qualities. The true type of a Jersey oow is in faot an animal that will not make meat. DEPTH OF Som AND DROUGHT.-It is ano of David DioksonB's maxims that power in crops to resist drought is in proportion to the depth of the soil. He says : A cotton plant to stand two weeks drought, must havo four inohes loil and six inohes subsoil ; three ?veeks-six inohes soil aud same subsoil; 'our weeks-^ight inohes and tho same rabsoiling. Plough cotton, he adds, 3very three weeks and let the hoes come ;en days behind, deaning it perfectly. Continue plowing cotton till the 15th jr 20th of August. Once or twice dur ing the season, shove out the middle with a furrow, to keep the land level. The ploughing of cotton requires ono and a fourth days per aero. WonDs OP CAUTION TO THOSE Wno NEED THEM.-Tn the first place do not generalize too hastily ; in other words, because certain things have happened so and so this season, or in that field, or in regard to this or that orop, do not make up your minds, without fur ther observation or experiment, that you have got the seoret of the thing the panerai law by whioh to bo gov erned in all future operations. Further experience may confirm what now seems to be the truth in the matter, or it may upset your present theory entirely. ForJ instance, perhaps, you broke up your land more deeply than usual, or you subsoiled under your cotton beds. Now suppose your .crop is not so good where you ploughed deep, or subsoiled, as where yon did not. Have you proved that deep ploughing or subsoil ing, as tho oas? may bo, are bad prac tices ? By no means. Another farmer, perhaps your neighbor, may have done the same thing with exaotlv opposite results. He says deep ploughing pays, but, like yourself, he generalizes too hastily. You have neither of you de termined anything, except for the ono field, tho one crop, and the ono season, whioh the experiment covers. The thing to be found out by a largo num ber of other experiments and observa tions is, under just what conditions of soil, season and crop, these operations are profitable, and how the work muBt bo done to make them profitable. So A, we will suppose, tries clover and fails entirely. Clover oan not be grown in the south, he savs ; but B tneB clover and harvests two tons to the acre, and is firmly convinced that the farmer who does not believe in clover is a poor be nighted "old fogv." But, perhaps, next year B's clover crop will be out off by an untimely drought. What then? Simply this ; it takeB more than one or two experiments to settle suoh ques tions in farming, or furniBh any gen eral rule of praotioal value. What the War Cost the South. A correspondent of the New York Evening PoBt," who has a turn for statis tics, gives some highly interesting facts and figures connected with the loases the south sustained by the war, show ing the diminution of assessed personal property between 1860 and 1870 by reason of the emancipation of the blacks. Alabama, with two hundred and seventy seven millions of personal estate in 1860, returns but thirty.eight millions in 1870-a decrease of two hundred and thirty-nine- millions. Arkansas is re duced from one hundred and'sixteen to thirty-one millions in this respect. Mississippi returns three hundred and fifty-one millions in 1860 against only fifty-nine millions in 1870-a deorease of two hundred and ninety-two millions; and South Carolina presents even a greater difference, returning three hun dred and fifty-nine millions assessed personalty in 1860, and sixty-four in 1870, being a loss of two hundred and ninety-five millions. Georgia in 1860, returned a larger amount of assessed personal estate than any other state in the union, namely four hundred and thirty-eight millions, In 1870 this total was changed to eighty-three millions, a loss of three hundred and fiftyvflve millions. Missouri, though a slave state, has suffered comparatively little. Her personalty, as assessed in 1860. was one hundred and thirteen millions. In 1870 it was increased to ono hundred mid thirty-sovpn millions. Taking the aggregate estimated true wealth of all the slaveholding states in 1860, it presents a total of six thousand seven hundred'and forty-six millions of dollars, In 1870 the same aggregate falls to five thousand four hundred and sixty-two millions, showing a loss of twelve hundred and eighty-four millions. The non-slaveholding states, on the con trary, show an immense increaso during the same period. In 186.0 their aggre gate estimated true wealth was nine thousand three hundred and forty millions, and in 1870, twenty-four thousand three hundred and sixty mil lions ; being an increase of fifteen thou sand and twenty millions. If we look at the wealth of the lato slave states in 1850 there appears a great increaso from that period to 1860. The total in 1850 was twenty-nine hundred and forty seven millions ; and in 1860, six thousand seven hundred and forty- six millions showing on inorease of thirty-seven hundred and ninety-niuo millions, or one hundred and twenty-eight per cont. Had the war not taken place-, the samo ratio of increase would have fixed the wealth of tho southern states in 1870 at fifteen thousand three hundred and eighty-one millions, or more than two and a quarter times what - it actually proved to be. And yet, with even all these enormous losses, tho south would now be happier and more prosperous than at any time in her history out for the corrupt and tyrannous rule with which she has been cursed since the war. But peace has come at last, and tho next decade will show a glorious outcome._ -Belgium bas 1.000 convents and nonastories, tho inhabitants of whioh lumber 21,000.

NONE but a lazy teamster will allow the bur ness or yoke to remain on teams while they eat their mid-day meal. Teams will perfo.m more labor on. the ar.rac feed in a given time by giving them water every two or three hours. Tho water should stand in the sun if practicable, it should not. be cold on any account. MINERS AND MATERIALISM.-Miners are a fine symbol of materialism. They live in the earth-earth is beneath their feet, around and above them ; no firma ment too high to be reached with a lad der ; many strange thiogs, but none that may not be handled ; a world of fao*s, wherein they stand self-contained and gloomily serene, As we, sitting in doors, pity the wayfarers exposed to the inolemenoy without, so do thoBe miners pity and despieo UB, exposed to the blue and white glare of the bold heav ens, stared out of countenance by sun and moon, blown by winds and wet with rain. Who eon sympathise with the sky ? Yet sooner or later all must re visit the surface, if only to bo buried there. LIBERIA A FAILURE.-A letter from Liberia states that the colony does not realize the expectations of its founders. It does not hold its own, if it is not actually declining. The chief cause of its failure ii the American emancipa tion. Since our great war there have been but few emigrants, and the old settlers seem to have lost their earlier ambition and dropped into unthrifty habits. The line of difference between tho colonists and the natives is growing less marked every year, and by the lapse of the former to their native con dition. This showB how difficult it is tc civilize a people. Race is moro than I culture or religion. GUINEA FOWLS FOR TUE TABLE.-Tho Guinea fowl is the richest and moat pal atable of all oar domestic poultry. We can remember of no game bird among the Gallina) that surpasses it, and when our grouse and partridges and prairie ohiokens become extinct, SB thoy will by and by, tho Guinea fowl will provo a perfect substituto for them, and as it breeds freely and requires but little oare, it will ne practicable to breed it in all sections. After the bird attains an age of two years it needs some other process of cooking than by roasting, but with an ngo of lesa than two years, a roasted Gainea fowl will discount anything else in the odible lino we can raise. GERMAN E?E-WINDOWS.- Dormer win dows exisi in other places besides Sax ony, but tho eye-windows are, so far ns I know, Mr, Julien Hawthorne says, a peculiarly German institution. It shows a grotesque kind of humor to in vent such things. They are single panes about a foot square, standing upright in the body of tho roof, ?which curves over them like a Bleepy eyelid, and broadens like a fat cheek below. The life-likeness is often enhanced by various ingenious additions ; and a couple of such windows, with a chimney between, give the house a curiously hu man aspect. The effect is not carried out in the body of tho building ; but, in f aot, all the vitality of the houso is con centrated in the top part of it, as if it rose up from below, like oxygen bub bles, and collected beneath the roof. ? The baBemont is torpid, the middle floors are stiff and taciturn, but the at tics draw the very breath of lifo. REMEDY FOR POISON BY IVY.-It seems to ma that I read all kinds of oures for ivy poison except tho right one. I have always endeavored to keep it before the publio, but have failed. It is to dissolve sugar of lead-a bit tho size of a hazlennt-in half a teacup of milk or warm water. Apply as warm as can be easily borne with a soft, linty piece of linen rag. Three or four ap plications are sufficient to effect a eure. Ii the poison is on the face, and nearing the eyes or month, thia astringent wash may be constantly applied. It is a marvelous cure, and by watching closely one can see the fevered bli?terB turn I from white to yellow during the appli cation. This remedy for ivy poison should prevent a great deal of suffering. It is well where a member of a family is easily poisoned to keep sugar of lead in the house all the time. Let it be labeled and kept where it can be found the moment it is wanted. Keep it well wrapped np, that it may not lose its strength.-Cor. Ohio Farmer. TUE BEST DISINFECTANTS.-There are three powerful disinfectants; carbolic aoid, out its smell is objectionable, chlorine and permanganate of potash ; those last two are quite expensive. These disinfectants aot by combining with deleterious substances and ren dering them harmless, while anticeptics prevent and arrest the decomposition of animal substances The moat common and available disinfectant and deodor izer is copperas, crude copperas, soUl ? by druggists at a few cents a pound, under the name of sulphate of iron, one pound to two gallons of water, to be used as often ns necessary to render all odors imperceptible, acting at che same time as an antiseptic, deodorizer, and disinfectant, and if instantly thrown over what passes from the body in chol era, is one of tho cheapest and best means known for preventing its com munication to others. The only per fect disinfectant, however, is habitual cleanliness and thorough ventilation ; next to tbat is a dry heat of two hun dred and fifty degrees. PEAR-BLIGHT REMEDY.-Mr. G. F. B. Leighton, president of the Norfolk (Va.) Horticultural society, is authority for tho statement that the remedy for pear-blight . recommended by tho com missioner of agrionlturo has proved successful in eastern Virginia. Tin's remedy is made and applied as follows : One pound of sulphur added to six or eight pounds of earbolato of limo, re duced to the consistency of thick white wash, and applied to the diseased parts, and where the bark is diseased-remove the outer portion before making the application. Mr. L. says he has used this with magical effect of blighted or diseased trees, but writes to the Ameri can Farmer that in, future he will " uso the formula recommended by the Hon. Wm. Saunders, of Washington, who has charge of the publio grounds, as being more economical than tho above, on account of tho volatile nature of Carbolic) acid : To half a bushel of limo add fonr pounds of sulphur-si ak o to tho COB ni n tc ney of whi ter tish, and whou applied, ad?! half an onhoe of carbollo aoid to each gall m of wash, and apply as above directed." Small Farms in Favor. The New York Bulletin says that there seems to be a marked tendency among California farmers to abandon the old ranch system, by which im mense tracts of land were overran, and bat partially occupied without tilling or improvements, under the ownership and management of one party, and to sob divide them into small farms. Thia is but the natural resnlt of enhanced value of f firming land, and is what has always occurred in tho progress and develop ment of new countries. Yet, its appli cation to California will mark a new era ia the farming industries of the Paoiflo coast. Tho usual causes have forced this step ; for, in addition to the en hanced lost of land, it ?B found to be so much more profitable to till and culti vate as well in California as elsewhere. In other words, the same amount of labor and capital thus expended return greater interest on the outlay than when made in the old way apon the rauch system. It is even admitted that the grazing industries of that state find it more profitable also to adopt the same system, and already it is said that the immense flocks of sheep are beginning to disappear, as have the groat herds of cattfo that formerly roamed over the. unoccupied and even unowned plains of the state. HOUSE BREEDING IN BUSSIA.-There are seven crown Btuds in Russia and one in Poland, containing 'altogether 3,602 brood mares and horses, with twelve orown stables having 945 stallions. The Ohrjauov stud, purchaped by the orown thirty years ago from the heirs of Connt Orlon", is divided into three seotionB, one devoted to pure English horaeB, another to saddle horses, and the third to trotting horses. The Derkuli stnd breeds English carriage horseB, the new Alexandros, a kind of half blood paddle horse, the Simarevsk thoroughbred Arabs, and the Strjeletzl Oriental sad dle horses. In the Orenburg stud horses are bred for the light oavalry and artil lery. Bnssia farther possesses 2,444 private studs, having 6,496 stallions and about 70,000 brood mares, besides up ward of 69,000 stallions and 620,000 brood mares in tho Copaok and steppe " tabunec." Horse hreeding baa de creased on private estates since the emancipation of the serfs, and many of the studs have been broken np, and have passed in part into tho hands of the peasantry. In Bnssia there are 380 horso fairs, at whioh about 160,000 ani mals are annually Bold, out of about 263,000 bronght to market. The aver apro price of a horse is 60 roubles-about $50. _ -The paddle wheels of a large steamer on tho St. John river in Florida stopped suddenly, a few nights ago, and then came crash after orash in the wood work. A panic followed, everybody rolling oat of his bank and rushing for the deok, and it was soon ascertained that a big aligator had become en tangled in the revolving wheel.
