f THE VERMONT PflCENIX, AND KEO'6Bi AND FARMER, FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1881. Hi ill t 1 I .1 Agricultural. OT.V TIMES. A PAPER READ SX H. O. HOWE AT THE TOWNS' It END MEEIINO Or THE STATE BOARD Or All MCCLTBBE. It U not usual, I tollovo, to giro us names before we aro born. Naming ray toplo a few days ago with only a Tsguo Idea of what I might say of it, I may hare done something of that kind. "Old Times," as the phraso is frequently used, refers to a time within the memory of elderly persons, hardly reaching beyond tho recollection of that well-known character, "the oldest inhabitant." A more extended signification may tako us back to the legend! or tho facts of history ; not only of tho people that haio gone before us, but of the earth that we till, of its physical char ncter, of its vegetation and of its animal life. While we are chiefly concerned with that which is present and directly practical, time is not altogether lost when wo look back to the put. There are facts that are valuable - as a matter of knowledge, not measuroablo by n money standard facts not less valuablo to us as farmers than to thoso In the learned professions. A portion of the world's history is traced in the rocky crust of the earth, and In tho eoil which we cultivate. Its study Is not the privilego of any exclusive class. If the history of the soil is an object of Interest to men of liberal culture not connected with the farming Interest, it should be no less so to those who derlvo their support from its cultivation. Whence came tho soil? What was Its condition in past ages? What is Its his tory ? What are these pebbles ? What is this sand? What is this handful of dust? How was It made ? The answers to.these questions alono might well fill a volume. In the limit ed time that I propose to occupy, I can only hint at some general facts that might each be tho subject of a discourse. The history of the soil has been written on the rocks, and men having the inspiration of knowledge have read It. Not wholly written, it may be, not always read with absolute accuracy, yet sufficiently so to demonstrate facts of wonderful interest. How was it made ? The readers of Uncle Tom's Cabin will recollect tho familiar question asked the colored girl "Topsy" respecting her origin, drawing out from her untutored mind tho reply "I specs I gTOwed." Here Is p principle that applies to all earthly things as far as our knowledge extends. Everything has grown ; the earth itself is probably no exception. Its substance may have been accumulating from the infi nite regions of space for millions of years be fore it assumed Its present form and dimen sions. But perhaps this is going back to times that aro too old for this occasion. It is sufficient for our present purpose If wo go back to a lime which every geologist will ad mit has been, when neither vegetable or an imal existed on tho earth. If we take one of the later periods in this stage of the earth's progress, a permanently solid crust hod formed over tho great ball of molten fluid, and the history written in the rocks was be gun. There was yet no beast or bird, no herb or tree no trace of life. Ages passed and waters overflowed tho original crusts. In portions of the earth's surface and at certain seasons or periods, the heat of the sun and the internal heat of the earth com bined, may have raised the water to a high temperature or converted it into vapor. Farts of the rock dissolved anil held by tho water in solution, parts of It abraded by the waves and currents, were deposited as sediment up on the original crusts, and In process of time these sedimentary deposits became stratified rocks. This was the period of the dawn of life. Other and successive formations accu mulated above the first. Organic life, at first in its lowest forms, appeared, leaving a rec ord of its existence in the remains distinguish able in the rocks. It Is probable that the first appearing forms of vegetable life were hardly disitinguishabla as plants. Perhaps something similar may bo seen In tho groen aubstanco that gathers In frog ponds, or in the jelly like matter that is sometimes found in damp placeB after a long storm of rain. Even the leant doveloped of the fossils found In tho first rocks containing organis remains, were probably preceded by lower forms, tho structure of which and their minuteness pre. vented their leaving auy trace, of their oris tence in the rocks. Only marine plants aro found in the older series of fossiliferous rocks. Ilad other plants of a higher order existed, their remains would appear In the rocks of the period with greater distinctness than those of a lower order. The same may bo sold of the existence of a higher class of animals ; the remains of a horse, had horses oxisted in thoso periods, would be more surely found than the form of a worm. In the first formed of the stratified rocks containing organic remains, no relic of animal life appears higher than the Crusta cea, a class of animals having shells like the lobster or crab. The remains of auimols having shells have bueu preserved since their first appearance in all the geological forma tions of the different life periods. The rocks in which only marlno plants occur and only animal remains of a low order, include sever. al distinct geological formations, each one of which may have been thousands of years, not to gay millions, in process of formation. Thousands of ages might have passed slnoe the dawn of life, and yet up to this period there was no bird or quadruped not even a fish nor a land-growing plant. The deposits from overflowing waters continued, and other formations gradually accumulated over those described, with new species of plants and an imals of a higher development. In these formations the bones and teeth of fish are found, and fossil remains of land plants, llu the plants of this period are all of the cryp- togamous or non-flowering kind as the lichens, mosses, fungi, etc. In the rocks formed up to the period when the fossils of fish and land plants first appear many hundred dis tinct species of animals and plants have been Identified by their fossil remains. Ages upon ages intervene and other geo logical formations accumulate to the thick nessof many thousand feet slowly, perhaps possibly not more than a fraction of an inch n a year. How and progressive forms of life appear plants of a more perfect struct ure, and animals in greater variety; still there Is no bird or quadruped or fruit-bear-Ing tree. Passing again over soveral life pe riods that may include another incalculable lapse of time, we come to the epoch next pre ceding the alluvial or present formation. In the rocks of this period the fossils of mon keys, of carniverous and of herbivorous ani mals first appear. Traces of birds are found in some of the previous formations, as also flowering plants and remains of trees similar to existing species, as the poplar, maple, elm willow, beech, etc Up to this period, no traces of mans exlstonce aro found. This brings us to tho alluvial or latest geo logical formation, that upon which we are living. It Is still In progress of formation The remains of man are found only in allu vium and In recently formed limestone, in connection with tho fossils of other living species. The remains of numerous animals and plants that havo become extinct, as the mastodon, the megatherium, eta, are also found In alluvial deposits. As many as thir ty-five or forty thousand species of fossil anl nials and plants have been dug out of the rocks, described, and preserved in collections and museums. I have thus briefly outlined the growth of the earth, as shown b the record left in tho rocks, through suoceoiva period, from the earliest dawn of life in its lowest forma up to tho age of man. Not only In the presence of man, but In the condition of the soil and ita products, the variety, number and perfection of plants and animals, la shown n continued progress a progross, It may be, for aught we know, toward something to come in fu ture ages, of which we can have no concep tion. But I had in mind, in commencing, a conclusion in regard to the quality of tho soil as to fertility, which naturally follows from the facts that have been stated. It has been gradually becoming more fertile from natural oAuses, and these causes are many of them still in operation ; not uniformly and con- tanlly, not at all times and places, but with out exceptions that impair the rule. Tho products of tho soil were never beforo nearly so great in quantity as In this age. They were never before nearly so excellent in quality. Nature has had and still has numerous agents at work preparing tho soil for the nu trition of plants. The powerful agencies that In former times produced some of the mark ed changes in the Burface of tho earth that ground down mountains and Bcooped out val leys, were the breaktng-up plows. One of these, that may have helped preparo the soil of Vermont for the food of plants has been described by Prof. Beclye as the "Original ermont Plow," meaning the great glaciers that' aro supposed to have moved down across the state from the north, taking up and carry ing great fragments of rock, with small stones, clay, sand, and gravel, plowing, grinding, and crushing.as it slowly moved withits under sur face borne down by the weight otsoveral thous and f eetof loo above. This great plow, If it was glacier of such thickness, must havo been plowing night and day for several hundred years, as the movement of a glacier is slow. That a considerable portion of the soil, grav- !, stones, clay and loose material overlying the solid rock, has been moved from the northward by some powerful agency, there can be no doubt. The evidence of it is con spicuous on tho bills in this vicinity, where we may see the planished surface, scratches and grooving on the rocks, with numerous rounded boulders of different character from the rock over which they rest, and frequent ly entirely different from any rock, In place, In tho neighborhood. Two examples occurring near us, may bo mentioned. In building the narrow guage railroad, n boulder found about three miles below this villago was cut up and used in making a culvert. It was about ten feet in length, composed of a peculiar green granite, very compact and uniform in structuro and entirely different from any granite found in this section. Another large rounded boulder about ten feet in diameter, that might havo been seen from tho traveled road between this place and Fayetteville, lying within a few feet of tho railroad tiack, was also cut up and used in building a culvert. It was a coarse gray granite containing flattened nod ules of mica a rather poor specimen of a rare kind of granite of great interest to geologists. This boulder, like the other, must havo been taken from its original place and brought from a considerable distance, as no granite of the same kind is very near. On the bill, seven or eight hundred feet above the place where these boulders laid, may be seen scratches and grooves on the rocks marks of the drift. Different theories have been advanced by geologists in accounting for these phenomena ; but all agree that ice, either in the form of glaciers or Icebergs, mnst have been the principal cause. Agassiz maintained the theory that an immense gla cier or sea of Ice of sufficient depth to fill all the valleys and to cover all the mountains, moved down from the polar regions across the continent. This sea of ice he estimates to have been, in northern New England, two or three miles in depth. If we imagine a mass of solid ice reaching upward 10,000 feet above the surfaeo where this villago now stands, and covorlng the country, it seems a wide step to the tropical climate that the character of fossils found in Vermont and other northern states indicate once existed. Among them are tho fossil elephant exhumed at lit. Holly in making a cut for the railroad, and the elephant dug up at Oohoes, N. Y., and now preserved in the state collection at the agricultural rooms in Albany. The wonderful changes that have been wrought on the earth s surface within a com paratively recent time as the geologist reck- ons time havet some striking illustrations in several of the towns of Windham county, The beds of several ancient streams or rivers aro found on or near the summit of high hills, on dry land, far from any brook or rill. On a hill in the west part of Newfane, and on another hill in the south part of Wardsboro, and again near the summit of a mountain in Stratton, the beds of ancient rivers or brge Btreams are shown by the deep pot boles worn in tho solid rocks. Tho banks of these ancient streams, with the surrounding hills that enclosed them, may have been worn away by abrasion or the gradual erosion of their surfaces, thus converting the solid rocks into food for plants. Nature is con stautly pulverizing the soil, by both mechan ical and chemical forces, and fitting it for the nutriment of plants. The earth, fitted first by such agencies for the growth of plants, has received all vegetation back to itself, perhaps with Interest drawn from the atmos phere, for thousands of ages. Is there not a progressive fertility in the soil ? Look back to the solid crust of the earth that bore no plant and fed no animal. From this begin- ning, through innumerable ages, the surface of the earth has been in course of prepara Hon for what we now behold, man, the the fields of grain, the profusion of flowers and fruit, the beauty of the landscape, the cattle feeding on a thousand hills. Who can tell us when this progressive force or law of nature, which was never mora active than In 1881, will cease ? .Tho Atlanta Constitution is informed that a cotton-picking machine has been Invented which will pick the limbs from the cotton stalks, separate the locks from the bolls, clean the lint thoroughly and bring It out ready for the cards of the spinning machine. The cot ton stalks, in making use of this process, must first bo pulled up and shocked, and when all the bolls are matured, carried to the machine, which can be run by horse power. The invention has been examined by Mr. Cocknll, Vice-President of the Cotton Plant- ere Association of the Mississippi Valley, who Is convinced that it will do what claimed for it. The Constitution declares that if the cotton crop can be threshed out, ginned aud hauled as successfully as circum stances warrant Mr. Cockrjll In believing, a revolution will bo created In cotton produo tiou. It suggests that with such aid to hand labor a man might wear a suit of clothcB in the evening made from cotton which was growing in tho field In the morning. Tho last agricultural returns of Oreat Britain show that the growth of woods and fort-sta is going on very fast, and in the last nve years nas increased tneir area nan a mil lion acres. Ewes after lambing should be allowed rest, quiet, and the best of feed. If any of the ewes do not seem to giro milk enough for tneir lamus, separate luein from tue rest, and give mem oaimeai gruei, roots, uran Slop, ana u possiuie rowen. Professor Itiley says that kerosene or oil of any Kind is sure deatu to insects in all staees. and the only substance with which we mar hope to destroy the egg. Oil will mix with milk, fresh or sour, and thus may be diluted 10 any ueaireu extent. It is better to transplant Dears, peaches. cherries and plums in tie serine; than in tho i - -i - - I xau. fi1lncr Corls for aillls. A New Jersey correspondent of tho Coun try Gentleman, writing on the subject of feed ing cows for milk, says that his experience teachos him that tho food that Is good for but ter is also good for milk. Ho finds It raoro profitable to turn his milk Into butter, as his customers do not so readily recognize tho dif ference between good and inferior milk as bo tween good and bad butter. With them milk Is milk, and If a competitor comes around with tho commonest kind, at flvo cents a quart, they will give up taking milk that yields 20 per cent, more cream, if It costs six cents a quart. But as other dairy farmers may have customers with better tastes, the writer referred to gives his experienco as to the best feed. He says t "If one wants a largo quantity of fairly good, well-flavored milk for sale, ho will find the best and cheapest food to consist of sugar beets or mangels, cut and sprinkled with wheat shorts, or sharps, or bran, and the best clover hay or corn fodder cut and mixed with a thin slop of steeped malt sprouts and cotton seed meal or corn meal. I have fed my milk ing cows as follows t Morning feed, out bay or cornstalks, wet with the above-mentioned slop, made as follows : Two quarts of malt sprouts and one quart of cotton-soed meal or corn moal per head, soaked in water in a bar rel for 12 hours. This slop is poured over mo cut iouuor in a mixtng-Dox, ana tue wnoie mixed until the slop Is equally distributed ; then a heaped bushel basket is given to each cow. Any cow that Is a specially good feeder, and will nav for It. Is treated to a nunrt or fin of ground feed (corn and rye bran) in addi tion, scattered over ner mess. At noon, a peck per head of cut sugar beets or mangels, sprinkled with a quart of the above ground feed, is given. At night tho morning feed Is repeated. But if I could not get six cents a quart for milk, I would double tho allowance of roots, giving no meal with them, and give malt sprouts and bran, or only coarse wheat or rye middlings, made into the slop above described. This will make as much or more milk of good salable quality, but not bo much cream. If one is near a brewery, and can procure urewers grains, tneso are an excel lent and wholesome food when mixed with corn meal. A bushel a day, with four quarts of corn meal, given to a largo cow, with hay and fodder, wUl produce a copious yield of rich-flavored milk, of a good body and color, although not rich in cream t but a thick, creamy-Iooking milk, with only Ave per cent, of cream, will be more satisfactory to tho consumer than pure Jersey milk with 25 per cent, of cream, but which is thin and blue when tho cream is taken oh. This should not be forgotten when considering the feed ing of cows for milk. Tho best cows for a iiuiK uairy aro largo graues oi ouori-uorn, or Dutch, and native, as those yield a large flow of milk, not rich In cream, but thick and of rich color. Food is a necessary condition, but if it is not put into the right kind of milk machines, it is wasted, or diverted from its most profitable use." Horace' Hoof. In Winter. The followinc advice with re card to the care of horses' hoofs in wlnUr,which wo find copied into an exchange, contains much prac tical common sense, which we fear is not ap preciated by every owner of this noble ani mal. The article t-ays that lack of moisture is not necessarily a cause of brittlenoss of the hoof, sinco the horse has a strong hoof. A continued drouth is especially dangerous when It acts on a foot accustomed to abun dance of water. Under tho action of water tho horn cells absorb, increase in size and push each other apart. By this action, too, some of the gelatinous matter that builds up the horn is dissolved out, and when tho hoof is again allowed to dry It has lost materially in its power of cohesion. The more frequent ly the process of soaking and drying is re- Eeated, tno more nuruul It proves to mo oof, which becomes increasinclv brittle and liable to split up. If, farther, this tendency mj umuenetui uas oeen inoreu mrougu gen erations of horses, where the feet are alter nately soaked by drenching rains, and with ered by drying suns, the danger is propor tionately increased, ana tne -leet o: sucn a race of horses are especially liablo to split ting and injury. It la not habitual dryness that injures, it is the alternations of rain and drouth. While upon this subject it may bo well to note that the evil effects of moisture may be largely warded oil by smearing the moistened foot with an impervious oily agent before ex posing it to tne drying process. In tbts way the moisture that has been absorbed by the born is retained, the sudden (Irvine and shrinking are obviated, and the horn remains oiastio and comparatively tough. As It Is often needful to soak the foot in warm or cold water, or in poultices in case of disease, it is all important that the above-named pre caution should bo constantly borne In mind, and that the softened foot should be smeared throughout with somo hoof ointment before It is allowed to dry and harden. For this purpose nothing is simpler or better than a mixture in equal parts of tar and whale oil or lard. This may be smeared on the foot ev ery other day. In addition to the changes of the weather, the frequent standing in rotten dung-heaps or the pools of decomposed liquid manure, may bo named as causes of brittle hoofs. In tho dung heap thero is not only tne moisture and steam soaking and softon ing the hoof, but there is abundance of am monia gas, which is especially calculated to soften, dissolve and destroy the horn. Hot- ten manure and putrid liquors, therefore, are much more injurious than pure water, muddy pools, or wet clay, Acain. the eman ations of this kind are far from conduclvo to general health, so that they prove hurtful in two ways, first, by directly destroyinc the substance of the hoof, and second by destroy ing tne animal vigor, tbe power of digestion and assimilation, and the power of secreting good Horn, standing In sucn decomposing organic matter is still more iniurlous, how ever, when the animal is confined to a stall or uox. tor Here tne iDiurious effect or luac tivlty Is added to the above-named condi tions. Det 8ugttr. There Is a successful beet sugar manufac tory at Riverside, near Wilmington. Del. It commenced operations In 187U, and at pres ent tne capacity of tbe works, nominally CO tons oi beets a day. Is said to be inoro tban three times that In nearly every particular. It is usual witn bucu estanusnments to secure the major part of the machinery from Eu rope, but in this case, with triflintr exceptions. the plant is of American manufacture. It was Iumi8D.cn by a well-known New York firm, and Is the first, and thus far the only beet-sugar equipment ever made in the United States. Up to this time the company's entire plant land, machinery, buildings, etc., has cost $100,000. Tbe buildings aro on the banks of the Delaware, and a cowl wharf permits the approach of vessels, while the Philadelphia. Wilmington it Delaware railroad, w blch is closa by, carried all plant and machinery free, and has contracted to carry all the freight at low rates for a number of years. Experience confirms the belief that the beets can be suc cessfully grown in the neighborhood ; and one farmer, in spite- of drouth and other drawbacks, raised beets witn 10 to-1'.' percent. of saccharine matter, and averaged over ten tons to the acre. ' He now regards the crop as one of his best,-aud will put in this year either CO or 100 acres, expecting, with fair weather, to get 15 tons to the acre. The company hopes to work up 15,000 tons of beets, and will contract with farmers for cul tivating 2000 or 8000 acres of beets. Any good wheat laud, Its officers say, will raise good beets, and, as Delaware- produces splen. did wheat In a large part of her area, there can be no aouot mat tne beet crop win pres ently grow to tie a very important one. Blowing up Stouts with Dinamite. The Indianapolis Journal of Februarys saysi "Ex-Bherla John T. Pressly gave a novel en tertainment at his farm, northwest of the city, yesterday. Mr. Pressly has one of tbs Quest arms in Marlon county, most of it un der cultivation. In several fields, however. which had been lately cleared, were a num ber oi largo stumps, and, atter working at them for several weeks by ordinary methods. he secured the services of 'Prof.' Jenney, of Lafayette, to blast tbe remaining Btumps out with dynamite. After blowing out a number of them singly, Mr. Pressly conceived tbe Idea of blowing up all the stumps In a 40 aore Clearing simultaneously, and tills was tbe en tertainment which the visitors witnessed yes terday afternoon. The field selected contains at least 40 acres, and not less than 40 huge stumps dotted its surface. Holes were drilled in the roots of these, on a level with the ground, into which cartridges were inserted and connected with a battery by means of wires. Tho work of the explosion was en tirely satisfactory, and every stump was blown to atoms. Pieces flew upward two or three hundred feet, and were picked up several hundred feet away." Is It Ilmllhrt Wa havo looked verv sharply through all our agricultural exchanges for tbe objections which mtgnt no urged or suggested against ensilage as fodder for stock. First, because the discission of the subicct is Betting to be altogether too one-sided to bo interesting j and secondly, because It is of tho first im portance mat larmcrs snouid enow tne outs n a silo beforo they invest $200 or 9300 each in bulldlnor one. In dolnu this, however, wo confess to having paid little attention to the say.sos of chemical exports who have figured out in their laboratories that it is simply im possible to do what has been done repeatedly and can no done again. If there is any confidence to bo placed in the tostlmony of any of the twenty or thirty men who built and filled silos In New Eng land last year, certain facts have been proved beyond a reasonable doutt : l. 'mat any green loddercau be preserved n silos without much difficulty, the process being simple and the result certain. 2. That corn fodder can bo raised, cut and put into a silo at from $2 to $2.M per ton, 3. That stock will cat ensilage with great avidity. 4. That 7 pounds of ensilage costing from 7 to ! cents will tako the place of what nay a large cow usually eats in a day. r.. That stock fed on ensilage for two or three months at a time, will to all appear ances do tin well.or better than when fed on tho best of hay. u. mat stock led on ensilage requires no water. On all these points all the farmers who have had nny practical experience are agreed. One broad and deep question remains to be settled, and that is, whether this now system is going to wear ; whether cattle and sheep fed upon ensilage through tho season and through a scries of seasons will retain their health and vigor as well as when fed upon hay. Upon this point wo confess that we havo grave doubts. The appearance of en silaged fodder is sadly against it It looks and smells more like swill than wholesome food, and tho first thought it suggests is that of disease. Dr. Robertson, of tula city, thinks continuous feeding upon it will cause cattle's teeth to drop out, and sereral other gentlemen whom we have met shake their heads dubiously when anybody says that half rotten corn fodder is a more uealtby food than sweet hay. This, however, is something that only ex periments extending through a series ef years can determine, aud we must wait. Mean time let us keep our Leads level and not ex pect too much from this new notion. It is now well before the public, and we may be certain that whatever is good in it will be round out and ostauusued beyond controversy in due time. ilirror and Farmer. How Tlnch to Jrel sbrrp, While I protest against the starving system. it would seem hardly necessary to caution tanners against mo opposite extreme, loruign feeding of sheep I believe to be detrimental to health and long life. While preparing for tho butcher, high feeding is necessary : but for store sheep and breeding ewes the over amount of fat produced by high feed is inju rious, and, aside, from tbe expense to produoo this state of things, it has a tendency to shorten the lives of sheep, in my opinion, and I think It enfeebles the lambs. Too much forcing in feeding Is likely to bring animals to maturity early, and is productive of short life, especially so with sheep. r.very wool-grower win nnd it tor bis inter est to provide warm, canacious and well-ven tilated sheds for his flocks, with a convenient access to pure water. Hacks that sbeep aro fed in should be made with tight bottoms, so that tho chaff will not go through and be wasted, for that is the best part of the hay By being made so, grain can be fed in them, thereby saving troughs. I do not believe it is well to winter too many in one flock. The size of tho flock and conveniences for keeping will determine their suitable- classification. The strong and weak should be kept separate ly. Tne question is olten raised, llow orten should sheep bo fed? A difference of opin ion exists. While one thinks twice a day is sufficient, another says it Is desirable to feed three times a day, and another our times. 1 believo they should bo fed regularly, whether It Is done two, three or four times a day.
