MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND EMILY NEWSPAPER. 
fifteen or twenty tons of stalks to the acre, ; 
be a good one ? It may be sown with a drill, : 
every other tooth down — which leaves the 
rows eighteen inches apart, and takes fire , 
pocks of seed to the aero — from the 1 st to 
the 8 th of June. 
If any one doubts this, let him satisfy 
himself by sowing a few acres the coming 
season. Plow it under the last of August or 
1 st of September; roll thoroughly, then har¬ 
row lengthwise of the furrows, and sow to 
wheat in due season. Those clover-sick 
lands will be cured effectually, we predict. 
Were my word law, every farmer in the 
State cultivating ten or more acres of land, 
would bo required to sow a portion of it to 
corn, to cut as green fodder for his cows and 
farm teams. A greater amount of pasturage 
can bo procured cheaper in this way than 
n any other.—0. M. Baker, East Gaines, 
JY. Y., Feb. 11,1853. 
Flan, for a Corn Crib.— Hats. 
Editors Rural :—Mr. W. N., of Albania, 
asks in your paper, how ho shall head off 
the rats from his corn crib. I will tell him 
and the rest of your many readers how mine 
is built, and if they will do likewise they 
will not be troubled any more with rats or 
mice in their corn. Take 3 by 4 scantling 
9 feet long for the back and 9 ft. 10 inches 
for the front; frame through 2 feet from the 
bottom; sills of the samo size G feet long, 
frame cross pieces on thetop to keep it from 
spreading and to serve as rafters for the 
roof. Set these 3 feet apart on stones, cov¬ 
er bottom and sides with fence boards, one 
inch apart; secure a sheet of tin, which will 
cost about eight cents, around each post 
close below the sills; set the crib east and 
west, it will be less exposed to the wind: 
build any length you wish. There should 
bo two doors for every 12 ft. of crib on the 
highest side of the crib, the one you wish 
to unload at, to let down whilst filling, somo 
three feet wide. Always sort your corn in 
the field, then drive your wagon along s : do 
and scoop the corn into the crib. You will 
of course arrange a door at the bottom of 
one or both ends of the crib to take the 
corn out, and will likewise place it as near 
the barn door as convenient for the purpose 
of shelling. It must not .tand near a fence 
or building, you must never put any thing 
under or against it, and, my word for it, you 
will never have a rat or a mouse in your 
crib.—S. Gillett, Stafford, JY. Y., 
Feeding Chess to Sheep, &c. 
Ens. Rural:— D. T). S., Clarkson, N. Y., 
inquires in regard to the ohect ot chess in 
producing abortion in Cows and Sheep.— 
Early in February, 1849, I purchased 118 
ewes, quite thin in flesh, and at once com¬ 
menced feeding somo twenty bushels of 
chess, which had been separated from a 
damaged wheat crop.—afterwards I gave 
them buck-wheat till spring. The Sheep 
did remarkably well, and in spite of storms, 
crows, and other misfortunes, 109 lambs 
were saved. During the time of feeding 
chess, about three weeks I think, two ewes 
slipped their lambs, but I did not then think 
it was owing to the chess, and do not now. 
Every shepherd is aware that this misfor¬ 
tune will sometimes occur in flocks, for 
reasons which he cannot satisfacturily solve. 
1). D. S. ought not to raise chess in his 
wheat, (the writer does not now,) but if that 
is his, or his neighbors practice, I do not 
think they need fear to feed it.—W. B. P., 
Praltsburgh, JY. Y., Feb. 14, 1853. 
“Honor to whom Honor is due.” 
Messrs Editors :—“ Tax Payers” in No. 
7 of present vol., seems ignorant of the ob¬ 
ject for which the “ Dog Law” was designed, 
viz, to make degs pay their own way, taken 
in a mass. But I fear the law is not of that 
high moral tone it should he. Dogs, like 
animals of a taller growth are not all of 
equal respectability. The Board of Super¬ 
visors, our local “ Logisture,” reversing the 
old maxim, *■ those who dance must pay the 
fiddler,” impose a tax upon the upright to 
pay for the “sprees" of tho doers of e^il. 
Carlo goes of an evening, into Pink’s mas¬ 
ter’s sheep pen, kills, dresses and eats a 
hearty meal of mutton, and poor little 
Pink, who did all he could to prevent the 
foul deed, secs the identical money he paid 
as a poll tax, paid back to him for Carlo’s 
supper.— Theodore, Spencerport, JY. Y. 
Liquid Irlanure, Stables, die. 
Mr. Editor Can you give through the 
columns of the Rural the most efficient 
plan for saving the liquid manure of ani¬ 
mals, and how to construct a stable with 
reference to that object in the absence of a 
convenient location for a cellar ? Would a 
tank made under the barn, pay, and what 
would be the best mode of constructing it?
