FIELD GLEANINGS. TREATMENT OF BALKY HORSES.--The society for tho prevention of cruelty to Animals publishes the following rules for tho treatment of ballsy horRes. Tn caso ono of these plans docs not Buccced, trv another : 1. Pat the horse upon tho neok ; ex amino the harness oarcfullyi Grst on ono side, then on tho other, speaking encouragingly whilo doing so ; thou jump into tho wagon and givo tho -word go; gouerally ho will obey it. 2. A teamster in Maine says ho can start tho worBt balky horse by taking him out of the shafts and making him go around in n circle till ho is giddy. If tho first danco of this sort does not euro him, a second will. 3. To cure a balky horso, simply placo your hand over tho horses's nose, aird shut off his wind until ho wants to go .1. Tho brain of a horso seems to en tertain bnt one idea at a timo ; therefore, whipping only confirms his stubborn resolve. If you can, by any means, givo him a now subject to think of you will generally have no trouble in start ing him. A simple remedy is to take a couple of hums of stout twine around the fore log, just below tho knee, tight onough for tho boree to feel, and tie in a bow-knot. At tho first check be will probably go dancing off, and after going a short distance, you can get down and remove the string to prevent injury to tho tendon, in your fnrther drive. A CORN CROP WITHOUT EATN.-A cor respondent of the Farmer's Vindicator says ho last yenr raised eighty bushels of corn to tho aero with but one rain, which fell on the 15th of June. He tolls how it was done ns follows : I laid my rows three and a half foot apart, threw out with a turning plough, ran a deep furrow with a bull-tongue in the water furrow, put sixty busholB of cot ton seed in the bull-tojgue furrows, threw four fnrrows with tho turn plough, reversing tho Ivd, planted my corn very shallow on tho top of the ridge, and onltivatod shallow with short eotton shovel, tho first two ploughings. Laid by with a turning plough, running shallow nearest tho com, deeper in the middle of tho rows. Ithen took a long bull-tongH? and subsoiled by running two furrows iu tho middle of the rows, leaving a small loose bed eight or ton inches deep. I tried subsoiling on dif ferent piecos of land, both in com and cotton, and I fonnd in gathering the crop n difference of four hundred pounds of cotton por aero in favor of the nero subsoiled. A Bio CORN FARM IN ILLINOIS. -The Nashville Union and American quoteB the WeBtorn Bural to the effect that Mr. M. L. Sullivont, a farmer in central Illinois, was, at tho timo of writing, proparing to plant hi? corn. His men wero ploughing five hundred acres a day, using two hnudred and fifty teams, and ho had then ready about twelve thousand . acres. Dr. Leo adds : Mr. Sullivant ie one of the largest and most systematic farmers in the United States, who made a present to a railway com pany of $28,000 to construct an iron road to and across his plantation of some forty thousand acres. He emi grated from tho Scioto bottoms, near Columbus, whore, like many Ohio farmers, he learnt tho art of raising corn at a small cost to the prod near. At tho time of the organization of tho United States agricultural society ho was a distinguished Ohio farmer, yet not unwilling to sell a large estate at ono hundred dollars per aero to lay tho for ndation of a much broader ono on tho rich prairies of contral UlinoiB, at tho government price for land. FOREIGN BIRDS FOR AMERICA.-A very deserving institution has recently been established in Cincinnati, under the title of Cincinnati Acclimatization So ciety, its object being to effect the intro duction of such foreign birds as aro worthy of note for their song or their services to the farmer and horticulturist. The Manufacturer and Builder says : The society announces that la?t spring it oxpended five thousand dollars in introducing fifteen additional species of birds, and that it has already success fully accomplished the acclimatization of tho European sky lark, whioh is stated to bo now a prominent featnro of . the summer landscape iu tho vicinity of Cincinnati. Among the species which it is proposed to introduce is the Eu ropean titmouse, considered abroad as one of tho most successful foes of insects injurious to vegetation. A HOPEFUL VIEW OF IMMIGRATION. Col. Daniel Dennet, in an artiole on immigration, in Our Homo Journal, has the following hopeful views : In spite of the predictions of politicians, bad state governments, high taxes, negro rule, "kn-klux" and "bandits," the im migrants are preparing to enter tho south. . . . The seven hundred thousand square miles of southern ter ritory yet uncultivated will bo, in a great measure, settled up by industri ous farmors from other lands. Tho vast mineral reeorrces of tho sonth will be turned to valuablo account. Our beautiful south is not doomed to bo either Africanized, or utterly destroyed by demaaognes, or allowed to go baok "into a wilderness state. Its fnture will be more glorious than its past. It will yet bo tho. garden spot, tho glory and prido of this continent. It will bo pros perous and rich in duo time, or tho vritor does not truly understand tho "signs of tho times. TOBACCO IN FLORIDA.-According to the monthly report of tho department of agriculture, Gadsden county, Florida, has prodnccd for forty years a variety grown from seed obtained in Cubp,, having a small, narrow loaf, and pos sessing to a remarkable degree tho pe culiar aroma and delioato fragrance so highly prized in tho Havana cigar. The report adds : Since tho advent of Ger man buyers, an artiolo was introduced whioh produces the "Florida wrapper," and is now tho main growth. Its leaves are sometimes three feet in length and twenty inches in breadth, of a fine silky texture, admirably adapted to use as wrappers, tho coarser leaves being ns od very acceptably as fillers. Another variety, medium in size, introduced i . since the war, highly aromatio, ovon somewhat pungent makes a stronger cigar. COLOR NO TEST IN JER-JEV CATTLE. A correspondent of tho English Agri ?ulturnl Gazette, protea lu against muk iug color a test in judging Jersey cows. Col. Waring, in tho American Agricul turist does tho snme thiDg, The Eng lish writer says : I have owned hun dreds of Jorsoy stock, and have never, as a rule, found tho whole colored such largo produoers as many parti-colored ones ; in fact, by far tho most butter producing cow ? havo ever possossod, was not only parti-colored, but the moBt ugly and ungainly beast of the lot, yet her stock havo never failed to Bhow their largo butter making qualities. Tho true typo of a Jersey cow is in fact an animal that will not niako meat. DEPTH OP Som AND DKOUGHT.-It is ono of David Dioksons's maxims that power in crops to resist drought is in proportion to tho depth of tho soil. He sayB : A cotton plant to stand two weeks drought, must havo four inches soil and six inches subsoil ; three weeks-six inches soil and same Bubsoil; four weeks-eight inches and tho same subsoiling. Plough cotton, ho adds, every three weeks and let tho hoes como ten dayB behind, cleaning it perfectly. Continuo plowing cotton till the 15th or 20th of August. Once or twice dur ing the Beason, shove out tho middle with a furrow, to keep the land level. Tho ploughing of cotton requires ono and a fourth days per acre. WOKDS ov CAUTION TO THOSE WHO NEED THEM.-In tho first placo do not generalizo too hastily ; in other words, because certain things havo happened so and so this season, or in that field, or in regard to this or that crop, do not make np your minds, without fur ther observation or experiment, that you havo got tho secret of tho thing the general law by whioh to bo gov erned in all future operations. Further experience may confirm what now seems to bo tho truth in tho matter, or it may upset your present theory entirely. ForJ instance, perhaps, you broke up your land moro deeply than usual, or you subsoiled under your cotton bed?. Now suppose your .crop ?B not t.o good where you ploughed deep, or subsoiled, as where you did not. nave you proved that deep ploughing or subsoil ing, ns thc case may bo, are bad prac tices ? By no merms. Another farmer, perhaps your neighbor, may havo dono the samo thing with exnctlv opposite results. He says deep ploughing pays, but, like yourself, he generalizes too hastily. You have neither of you de termined anything, oxcept for tho ono fiold, tho ono crop, and tho ono season, which the oxporimcnt covers. Tho thing to bo found out by a largo num ber of othor experiments and observa tions is, undor just what conditions of soil, season and crop, these operations are profitable, and how tho work must bo dono to make them profitable. So A, we will suppose, tries clover and fails entirely. Clover oan not be grown in tho Bouth, he savs ; but B tries dover and harveBtB two tons to the aero, and is firmly convinced that the larmer who does not believo in clover is a poor be nighted "old fogv." But, perhaps, next year B's clover crop will be out off j by an untimely drought. What then ? Simply thia ; it takes moro than one or two experiments to Bettie such ques tions in farming, or furnish any gen eral rule of practical value. What the War Cost the South. A correspondent of the Now York Evening PoBt, who has a turn for statis tics, gives some highly interesting facts and figures connected with tho losses the south sustained by the war, show ing the diminution of assessed personal property between 1860 and 1870 by reason of tho emancipation of the blacks. Alabama, with two hundred and seventy seven millions of personal estate in 18G0, returns but thirty-eight millions in 1870-a deoreaso of two hundred and thirty-nine millions. Arkansas is re duced from one hundred and sixteen to thirty-ouo millions in this respect. Mississippi returns three hundred and fifty-one millions in 1800 against only fifty-nine millions in 1870-a decrease of two hundred and ninety-two millions; and South Carolina presents oven a greater difference, rotnrning three hun dred and fifty-uino millions assessed personally iu 18G0, and sixty-four in 1870, being a loss of two hundred and ninety-five millions. Georgia in I860, returned a largor amount of assessed personal estate than any other state in tho union, namely four hundred and thirty-eight millions. In 1870 this total was changed to eighty-three millions, a IOBS of three hundred and fiffr^fivo millions. Missouri, though a slave ?tate, has suffered comparatively little. Her personalty, as assessed in I960, was one hundred and thirteen millions. In 1870 it was increased to ono hundred and thirty-seven millions. Taking the aggregate estimated true wealth of all the slave-holding states in 18G0, it presents a total of six thousand seven hundred and forty-six millions of dollars. In 1870 tho same aggregate falls to five thousand four hundred and sixty-two millions, showing a loss of t welve hundred and eighty-four millions. The non-slaveholding states, on tho con trary, show an immense increase during the same period. In 1860 their aggre gate estimated true wealth was nine thousand threo hundred and forty millions, and in 1870, twenty-four thouBand three hundred and sixty mil lions ; being an increase of fiftoon thou sand and twenty millions. If we look nt tho wealth of the lato slave states in 1850 there appears a great increaso from that period to 1860. Tho total in 1850 was twonty-nino hundred and forty seven millions ; and in I860, six thousand Bovcn hundred and forty-six milliono showing an increase of thirty-seven hundred and ninoty nino millions, or ono hundred and tw'onty-oight per cont. Had tho war not taken plaoo, tho sr.me ratio of increaso would havo fixed tho wealth of tho southorn states in 1870 at ufteen thousand throe hundred and eighty-one millions, or more than two ' and a quarter timos what it actually proved to bo. And yet, with even all these enormous losses, tho south would now be happier and moro pro?perous than at any time in her history but for the corrupt and tyrannous rule with which ?ho has beoa cursed since tho v?ar. But penco has como at last, an>I tho next decade will show a glorious outcome._ -Bolginm bas 1,600 convents and monastorios, tho inhabitants of which number 21,000. Tho incomo of tho re ligious orders in that kingdom is ono mili^'wf'f dollars, ^. iny/^^fjloljji USEFUL KNOWLEDGE. NONE but n lazy teamster will allow tho harness or yoke to remain on teams while they eat their mid-day meal. ToamB will perform more labor on the sume feed in a given time by giving them water every two or three hours. Tho water should stand in tho sun if practicable. It should not. bo cold on any account. MINERS AND MATERIALISM.-Miners are a fine symbol of materialism. They live iu the earth-earth is bcuoath their feet, around and above them ; no firma ment tco high to bo reached with a lad der ; many strange things, but none that may not bo nannied ; a world of fao>s, wherein they stand self-contained and gloomily serene. As wo, sitting in doors, pity the wayfarers exposed to the inclemency without, so do these miners pity and despise us, exposed to the blue and white glare of tho bold heav euo, stared out of countenance by ann and moon, blown by winds and wet with rain. Who can sympathise with tho sky ? Yet sooner or later all must re visit the Burface, if only to bo buried there, LIBERIA A FAILURE.-A lotter from Liberia Btatcs that tho colony docs not realizo tho expectations of its founders. It does not hold its own, if it is not aotually declining. Tho chief cauBo of its failure is tho American emancipa tion. Sinoo our groat war there have been but few emigrants, and the old settlers seem to have loBt their earlier ambition and dropped into unthrifty habits. The lino of difference between the colonists and the natives is growing less marked every year, and by the lapse of tho former to their nativo con dition. This shows how difficult it is to civilize z noonie. Race is more thau culture or religion. GUINEA FOWLS FOR TOE TABLE.-Tho Guinea fowl is the richest and most pol atable of all our domestic poultry. We eau remember of no game bird among the Gallina) that surpasses it, aud when our grouse and partridges and prairie chickens become extinct, as they will by and by, tho Guinea fowl will provo a perfect Bubstitnte for them, and SH it breeds freely and requires but little care, it will bo practicable to breed it in all sectiouB. After the bird attains an ago of two yearB it needs some other process of cooking than by roasting, but with an ago of ICKH than two years, a roasted Gninea fowl will discount anything olso in tho edible lino we can raise. GEIIMAN EVE-WINDOWS.-Dormer win dows oxisb in other places besides Sax ony, but the eye-windows are, so far as 3 know, Mr. Julien Hawthorne says, a peculiarly German institution. It B1IOW8 a grotesque kiud of humor to in vent Buch things. They are single parca about a foot square, standing upright in tho body of tho roof, whioh curves over them Uko a Bleepy eyelid, and broadens like a fat chook below. Tho lifo-likenes8 is often euhanccd by variuus ingenious additions ; nnd a couple of such windows, with a chimney between, givo tho house a curiously hu man aspect. The effect is not carried ont in the body of tho building ; but, in faot, all the vitality of tho houso is con centrated in the top part of it, as if it rose up from below, like oxygen bub bles, and collected beneath tho roof. Tho basement is torpid, the middle floors are stiff and taoiturn, but tho at tics draw the very breath of life. REMEDY FOR TOISON BY IVY. - It seoras to mo that I read all kinds of cures for ivy poison except thc right one. I have always endeavored to keep it bef?se the public, but have failed. It is to dissolve sugar of lead-a bit tho sizo of a hazlenut-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 offoct a onre. If the poison is on the face, and nearing the eyes or mouth, this astringent wash may be constantly applied. It is a marvelous cure, and by watching closely ono can BOO tho fevered blistors turn from white to yellow during tho appli cation. This remedy for ivy poison Bhould provent 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 bo fouud tho moment it is wanted. Keep it well wrapped up, that it may not lose its strength.-Cor. Ohio Farmer. THE BEST DISINFECTANTS.-There aro three powerful disinfectants; carbolic acid, bnt its smell is objectionable, chlorine and permanganate of potash ; thone last two aro quite expensive. These disinfectants act by combining with deleterious substances and ren dering them harmless, while anticeptics prevent and arrest tho decomposition of animal substances The most common and availablo disinfestant and deodor izer is copperas, crude copperas, sold by druggists at a few cents a pound, j under the name of snlpbate of iron, ono pound to two gallons of wator, to bo I used as often as uecossary to render all odors imperceptible, noting at the samo time as an antiseptic, deodorizer, aud disinfectant, and if instantly tiirown over what passes 'rom the body in chol era, is ono of tho cheapest and best means kuown for preventing its com munication to others. The only per fect disinfectant, however, is habitual cleanliuens and thorough ventilation ; next to that is a dry heat of two hun dred and fifty degrees. FEAit-BLioirr REMEDY.-Mr. G. F. B. Leighton, president of tho Norfolk (Va.) Horticultural society, is authority lor tho statement that the remedy for poar-blight recommended by tho com missioner of agriculture has proved successful in eastern Virginia. This remedy ?B made and applied ns follows : One pound of sulphur added to B?X or eight pounds of carbolato of lime, re duced to the consistency of thick white wash, and applied to the diseased part?, and where the bark is diseased remove tho outer portion before making the application. Mr. L. says he haB used this with magical effect of blighted or diseased trees, but writes to the Ameri can Farmer that in future he will '* uso tho formula recommended by tho Hon. Wm. Saunders, of Washington, who has charge of tho public grounds, aa hoing moro economical than thc above, on account of tho volatile nature of carbolic acid : To half a bushol of limo add four pounds of sulphur-slako to tho consistency of Whitewash, and whou applied, add half an ounce of carbolio acid to each gallon of wash, and apply aB abovo directed." Small Farms in Favor. The New York Bulletin says thnt there seems to be a marked tendency among California farmers to abandon tbo old ranch system, by which im mense tracts of land were overran and but partially ocoupied without tilling or improvements, under tho ownership and management of one party, and to sub divide them into small farms. This is but the natural result of enhance?! value of farming land, and is what hus always occurred in the progress and develop- | ment of cow eountriep. Yet, its appli cation to California will mark a new era in tho farming industries of the Pacific coast. The usual causes have forced this step ; for, in addition to the en hanced lost of land, it is found to be so muoh more profitable to till and culti vate as well in California as olsowhere. In other words, the bame amount of labor and capital thus expended retara greater interest on the outlay than when made in the old way upon the ranch Bjstom. It ?B even admitted that the grazing industries of that state find it mere profitable also to adopt the same system, and already it ?B said that the immonso flocks of sheep are beginning to disappear, as have the groat herds of cattle that formerly roamed over the unoccupied and even unowned plains of the state. HORSE BREEDING IN RUSSIA.-There are seven crown studs in Russia and one in Poland, containing 'altogether 3.G02 brood mares aud horses, with twelve crown Btablea having 915 stallions. Th? Chrjauov stud, purchased by the crown thirty years ago from tho hoirs of Count OrlofT, is divided into three sections, ono devoted to pure English horses, another to saddle horses, and tho third to trotting horses. Tho Derkuli stud breeds English carriapo horses, tho now Aloxondrov, a kind of half blood saddle horse, the Simarevsk thoroughbred Arabs, and the Strjeletzl Oriental sad dle horses. In the Orenburg stud horses are bred for tho light cavalry and artil lery. Russia further possesses 2,444 private studs, having G,49G stallions and about 70,000 brood mares, besides up ward of 09,000 stallions and 020,000 brood mares in tho Copaok and steppe " t?banos." Horse breeding has de creased on privato estates since the emancipation of tho serfp, and many of the studs have boen broken up, and have passod in part into tho hands of tho peasantry. In Russia there are 380 horse fairs, at which about 150,000 ani mals are annually sold, out of about 2(53,000 brought to market. The aver age price of a horse is GO roubles?-about 850._ -Tho paddle wheels of a large steamer on tho St. John river in Florida stopped suddenly, a few nights ago, and then carno crash after orash in the wood work. A panic followed, everybody rolling ont of his bunk and rushing for the deck, and it was soon ascertained that a big aligator had become en tangled in the revolving wheel.
