* Care of Farm Implements.
- Wo blfCve it may be safely asserted,
that the farmer, in the course of years,
sustains as much loss irt the needless
injury and decay of his tools, by expo
8Ur8||othe weather during the season
thatltthey are not in use, ns he does
fboiri the actual wear of them on flic
farm. The wagon, the mowing mach
ine, the harness, the plow, with the
Vhole catalogue Of tninor tools and im
plements, We arc convinced, from ac
tual observation, suffer more from the
influence of the sun in shrinking and
cracking, and in the decay caused by
uposurc to the wet when not in use,
than they Wouldworo they kept con
stantly employed in the work for which
they were designed. Thceostofa suit
able wagon and Joolhousp, would not
equal wie lols occasioned an many
flume, by the careless exposure of the
farm-tools In three years. An expen
sive building is not absolutely neces
sary for this purpose. A simple shed,
Bformed by planting rough posts in the
ground, covered with a cheap roof of
rtlanlrc cnfTifinnt 1 v nlnao (n turn flip
I snow »ni>rain, will answer the purpose,
and nray be built In the odd hours that |
are frequently lost by the farm-hands 1
in a single week. Upon a well-con
ducted; farm, supplied with all (lie nec
essary out-buildings, the wagon-slied,
tool-house, and workshop, will neces
sarily be among the prominent appen
dages. To the fanner, with his tool
house and work-shop, the saving that
may be secured in the repair of his
tools during winter, when little else
can be done, will soon pay the cost, of
such a building. TheVskilll\i 1 and thrif
ty farmer is known by his attention to
the minor points of agriculture, by his
care to save, ns well as to acquire; and
he who neglects the lesser things, can
not tail to find tlio^drawback on his
proftis large and constant
Egos in Winter.-—Give the manu
factuer’s materials to make them with
and a comfortable place to work in.
Let the egg-less say what they will, we
know wlnit we assert, that it is perfectly
feasible to keep the hens laying ail
winter. Give them animal food t o sup
ply the place of insects they catch in
summer, and then let them ha ve a warm
' place to run into, with plenty ofunfro
> zen water, not snow, and frequent taste
of green food, such as cabage leaves,
potatoes,&c., and remember to supply
gravel for their grinding mill, and lime
! to make shells out of, and we will war
I rant the animals to repay all the care
and food, in nieephimn eggs—no mat
ter what the particular breed may be.
Trv it.
s A hen without some kind of meat,
, and gravel, and lime, compelled to cat
i snow for water or go without, cannot
| make eggs. If she has to keep cunstant
i ly changing from standing on one foot
to the other to keep both from freezing
1 she can’t stop to think about getting
i up eggs. If all she eats and can digest,
f must be expended in keeping the beat
l of her body, slio has nothing left to
S turn into eggs. Tf her body is all
I shrunk up with cold, slio hasn't room
out side for j£i\ egg of respectable size,
and thoiigli ner instincts may sometimes
I induce her to produce a thin shelled
I* pullet's egg" at expence of the lime in
her bones, her pride revolts against
Biinls n not! rtn oml elm
I seldom furnishes beyond4wo or three.
Give madam hen the odd bits of
fresh meat, and the other fixings named
| above, riot forgetting the water, and
• make her quarters so free from eold
I air holes that sheis comfortable, and she
| can’t help giving attention to her natu
ral occupation of manufacturing eggs,
much to her own satisfaction, and the
profit of her owner.—[Agriculturists.
Computing Interest.—A new meth
} od of computing intrest on any number
| of dollars at six per cent, appears very
: simple. Multiply any given number
! of dollars by the number of days of
interest desired, and divided by six:
1 the resnltisthe true interest of such sum
for such number.of days, at sixper cent
3*his rule is as simple and so true, ac
cording to all business usages, that
every banker, broker, merchant or
clerk, should post it up for reference
or use. There being no such thing as
a fraction in it. there is scarcely any
liability to err or mistake. By no other
f mathematical process can the desired
information be obtained with so few
figures.
The Butter Maker's Golden Rules.
-^TJwt great secret in butter-making, it
seems, consist in the following points :
1st. Securing rich, clean healthy milk,
milk obtained on rich old pastures, free
I of weeds,,
2d. Setting the milk in a; moist, un
tainted atmosphere.and keeping it in
an evea temperature while the cream is
rising.
3d. Proper management in churning.
4th. Washing out the buttermilk
1 thoroughly, and working so as not to
injure the grain. r
5th. Thorough and even incorpora
tion of the salt, and packing in oak
tubs, tight; clean and vtell made.
Cleanliness in all the operations, is
of ipiperative necessity.
Judgement and experience in mani
pulating the cream and working the
butter must of course be used.
