 FRENCH AND ENGLISH MEASURES. 
 
 The Publisher <if tha. Canadian Farmers' Almakac, takes 
 much pleasure in baing able to present its patrons with the follow- 
 ing Tables, for converting French Lineal and Square Measure into 
 English Lineal and Square Measure^ and vice versa. They were 
 compiled by Alphonso Wells, Esq. a gentleman well known as a 
 
 scientific and practical Surveyor and Mathematician, 
 sured that their correctness may be fully railed on. 
 
 We are as- 
 
 The measures used in the Seigniorial parts of Canada 
 are those of France, while, in the Townships, the Stand 
 ard measures of England are adopted. The relation tiiese 
 measures, respectively, bear to each other, is generally 
 but little understood, and indiscriminate reference to them 
 in legal instruments, and even in Acts of the Provincial 
 Legislature, has often caused much inconvenience and 
 many cases of litigation in the country ; to remedy (as much 
 as possible) those evils, the following Tables have been 
 constructed. 
 
 In assuming the relation the Pied de Paris or Paris Foot 
 bears to the English Foot, that given in the ^'Philosophical 
 Transactions^^ vol. 58, page 326, haa been taken as the 
 beat authority. By this it appears that 1000 French, are 
 equal to 1065.75 English, feet. In this Province, for some 
 years, the difference was accounted still greater than the 
 above analogy gives it, 1068 English feet being considered 
 as equal to 1000 feet of Paris. This last proportion, how- 
 ever, was found to be decidedly incorrect, and the care 
 with which that was ascertained, as given in the Pkilo- 
 sophical Transactions^ can leave no doubt of its superior 
 exactness.* 
 
 * The well known property of different metals to expand or con 
 tract in increased or diminished temperatures, as compared with 
 those at which the measures of the standard feet of London and 
 Paris are repectively taken, has caused some to apply a further con- 
 nection to the above relation between their values, by which 1.065.79 
 nearly, of English feet, would be equal to 1000 feet of Paris. The 
 extreme smallness of this connection, amounting to less than a unit 
 in 26000, seemed to render it unnecess'ry to depart from the gener 
 al authorities in the compilation of the Tables.

 Tiie d'.'n:)riiiii;it.i<)na of French rnieasiiivs of distanci', m- 
 t'-oduced in th;' Tables, are L?fi;iiies, A ip^ri'*, Perches, F(}v\, 
 and Indies; in Superficial or Square Measiirei, the only 
 French measures are Avpens and Perches, as applied to 
 Land Measure, with decimal pails of the lesser denomina- 
 tion uso(l in the Equivalents, in ail cages where they may 
 occur, in the measures of either species. 
 
 The Toise^ althou|rh much used hy practical Geometri- 
 cians in France, is seldom referred to in Canada except in 
 Solid or Cubic Measure, and is therefore not included a- 
 mong those used in th'.' Tables. It consists- of () Fretich 
 Feet or one-third of a P-.M-ch, and its vnlue may thence be 
 easily obtained from the Tables, by takni^it« equivalent in 
 any other given denomiiiation. ' .''/■*•''

 ly dry. Sow oats. Field peas as well fis garden peas make 
 ati excellent crop. Beans are also highly worlti the judi- 
 dicious cidtivator's particular attention. Plant some pota- 
 ttx;s of an early sort on early gi-ound, to be used in July

 them, turning the cattle into each, alternately. Cleanse

 putrescent and other offensive and unwholesome substan-

 corn, but peas, oats, buckvvlieat, ami probably most other 
 seeds, are benefitted by wcttint^ them in water just befow 
 sowing, and rolling them in pla:^ler. Plant ])otatoes for 
 your principal crop. Declare war against insects. The 
 artillery for the engagement may be elder juice, or decoc- 
 tion of elder, especially of the dwarf kind, decoction of 
 tobacco, quicklime, lime-water, soot, unleachcd ashes, 
 strong lye, tar or turpentine water, soap-suds, &c. Dis- 
 solve about two pounds of potash in seven quarts of water, 
 and apply the solution to your fruit trees \vith a painter's 
 brush taking care not to touch the leaves or buds. A lot 
 of land well .stocked with clover is wanted by eveiy good 
 cultivator for pasturing swine. ..■_.•. |

 Summer made manure demands attention. Most farmers 
 yard their cows at night through the summer ; their manure 
 should be collected into a heap, in some convenient part of 
 the barn-yard, to prevent its being wasted by the sun and 
 tains. A few minutes' attention ingthe morning, when the; 
 cows are turned out to pasture, would collect a heap of sev- 
 eral loads in a season, ready for your grass grounds in au- 
 tumn. Dress your Indian corn and potatoes, thoroughly! 
 extirpating weeds, and please to place a handful of ashes 
 or plaster, or a mixture of both, on your hills of corn and 
 potatoes. These substances are'commonly applied before 
 the first or second hoeing. But ashes or quicklime (which, 
 is al«so an excellent application for corn) will have a better 
 effect in preventing worms if laid op before the corn is up. 
 
 JULY. 
 
 Plaster or live ashes sown upon your pasture grounds, 
 will not only repay a handsome profit, by increasing the 
 value oi your fed l)y bringing in the liner grasses, such ah\ 
 white clover, &c., but will greatly im])rove your lands for a 
 [)otato fallow, and a sutJceeding wheat crop, whenever you 
 may wish to take advantage of a routine of crops. Make 
 as much of your iiay as possij)le in the early part of the 
 season. Curing hay, clover especially, in t!ie cock, is much 
 bctl'^r than drying it in the sun. It not only increases the 
 
40 
 
 quality) but save« much of the quantity, of the hay. If 
 the weather is so unfavorable that iiay cannot be thorough- 
 ly cured, the application of from four to eight quarts of salt 
 to the ton is recommended. In this way it can he saved 
 in a much greener state, and the benefit derived from the^ 
 salt is many times its value*

 Harvesting. The time in which your grain crop should 
 be cut, is when the straw begins to shrink, and becomes 
 white about half an inch below the ear ; but if a blight or 
 rust has struck wheal or rye, it is best to cut it immetliate- 
 ly, even if the grain be in the milky state. Barley, how- 
 ever, should stand till perfectly ripe. Please to attend in 
 season to preserving your sheep from Xhecpstrus ovis, or fty' 
 which causes worms in their heads. In order to accom- 
 plish this, il has been recommended to mix a little fine salt 
 with tar, and place it under cover, where the sheep can havej 
 access to it, and they will keep their noses Bufficiently 
 ■jsmirched with tar to prevent the insect from attacking tlieni. 
 Destroy tliistles, which some say may be done by letting 
 them grow till in full b||)om, and then cutting them with al 
 scythe about an inch above the surface of the gi'ound. The 
 stem being hollow, the rains and dews descend into the 
 heart of the plant, and it soon dies. ■ , .- .....u.

 A correctly calculating cultivator will make even his 
 hogs labor for a livelihood. This may be done by throwing 
 into their pens potato-tops, weeds, brakes, turf, loam, &c., 
 which these capital workmen will manufacture into manure 
 of the first quality. Attend to the barn-yard, and see that 
 it has a proper shape for a manure manufactory, as well 
 as other accommodations, adapteil to its various uses. You 
 may as well have a hole in your pocket, fi)r the express 
 purpose of losing your money, as adrain to lead awaythe 
 wash of your farm-yard. True, it mhy spread over your 
 grass ground, and be a source of some fertility to your prem- 
 ises, but the chance isthat .nost of it will be lost in a high 
 way, or neighboring stream. Cut up your corn as soon as 
 
 I the kernel becomes seared. It will ripen in the shock ; and 
 
 I the stocks, &.C., will make excellent fodder.

 Ploughing. liir, hard, clug^ry land intended to be tilled 
 should be ploughed in autumn. Fall ploughing save.-^ time 
 and labor in the spring, when cattle are weak, and the hur- 
 ry of the work pocuVmr to that season press on the cultiva- 
 tor. A light sand)' soil, however, should not be disturbed 
 by fall ploughing, but lie to settle ^and consolidate throughf 
 the winter. Be careful and cook your food for hogs, aud 
 if ycHi let it ferment a little it will be the better for it. Jt 
 is much easier to fatten hogs early in the fall, than in cc^

 Attend with diligence and punctuality to the wants 
 four-footed tenants of your barn, hog-sty, &,c 
 dertake to winter more stock than you have abundant metms 
 of providing for. When young janimalts are pinched for 
 food at an early period of their growth, they never thrive 
 ^o well afterwards, nor make so good stock. See that you 
 have goo4 stalls, stables, cow-houses ; a proper inplement 
 for cutting hay and, straw ; an apparatus for cooking food 
 for cattle and swine. You may also carry out and spread 
 conipost, soot, aslies, &c., on such of your mowing grouuels 
 as stand \n great need of manure. Though son^e say that 
 the best time for to])-dressing grass land is immediately af- 
 ter liaying, any time will do when tlie ground is free from 
 snow, and the grass not so high aa to be injured by cattle'e 
 treading on it. ,,„... .

 We advise every farmer, and his help, &lc. »t> to treat 
 domestic animals that they may be tame and familiar. It 
 is is said of Bakewell, a famoa-? English breeder of cattle, 
 that by proper management he caused liis stock tol)o very 
 gentle His bulls would stand still to be handloil, ami were 
 driven from field to field with a small switch. His cattle 
 were ahvays fat, which he said was owing to the breetl as 
 well as keep. When the weather is too sevea^ to laljor 
 abroad, much may be accomplished by the fireside in set- 
 tling accounts, reading useful books, and laying the founda- 
 tion for the usefulness and respectability of tho^ who com- 
 pose the farmer's family . -" 'r ' ,

 MEMORANDA, 
 
 FOR THOSE V.HO WOULD IMPROVE IN HUSBANDRY. 
 
 Draining., manuring, alternating Crops, artel root cut 
 ture, are the best and cheapest rrtBahs of increasing the 
 profits ot' a tillage tarm — they form the l)asia of good hus- 
 bandry. 
 
 1. Draining — The first requisite is to divest a soil of 
 surplus moisture. Lands tliat are wet upon the soil or sub- 
 soil, will not bring good grain or grass. If the evil is ow- 
 ing to surface water, it stagnates in summer, and becomes 
 prejudicial to crops growing upon it, and to animals. If it 
 proceeds from springs, it keeps the temperature of the soil 
 too low for healthy vegetation. In either case it prevents 
 the land being worked early, or during wet seasons, and 
 retards the decomposition of the vegetable matters, which 
 should serve as the food of plants. When properly drain- 
 ed, wet or marshy lands are among the most productive 
 soils, as tliey generally abound in vegetable matter, ac- 
 cumulated and preserved by water. Without draining, 
 they are comparatively unproductive, and are often nui- 
 sances. 
 
 2. Manures are the true food of plants, be the specula 
 tions of theorists what they may. Every farmer may dC' 
 monstrate this truth in his piactice. We can no more ob' 
 tain good crops from a poor soil, than we can obtain good 
 beef from a lean pasture. Vegetable matters constitute a- 
 like tlio raw material f )r beef and {or corn. The elemenr 
 tary matters of both are materially the same. Every veg- 
 etable and every animal substance, or ^vhatever has been 
 such, however nauseous and otlensive, contains food ' for 
 our farm crops ; atid the fertility of our soil, and the profits 
 of our husbandry, will dej)end in a great measure upon the 
 economy with which we husband this veg^'^tablc fooil. and 
 the judgment with which w>^ <^Pjily it to our crops. With- 
 >ut good crops we cannot rear good aninial.-'; and \vithout 
 animals we cannot have dung to enrich our grounds. Ev- 
 en,'- crop Wv^ take from a fi^^ld series more or less to O'Khnust 
 the soil of fertility ; and unless we return to it some equiy- 
 iijenl in the lorm of manure, it will in time become a bnr- 
 ren wastt\ A'lai'), as aniinal rind vewetaWo matters hcjin

 to ferment, and to dissipate their fertilizing propenipp, aa 
 soon as they are brought in contact with heat, moisture ind 
 air, they should be buried in the soil in the spring at lar- 
 thest, in an incipient state of fermentation. And as the' 
 hoed crops, such as corn, potatoes, beans, nita baga, 8m!.' 
 thrive best upon the volatile parts of manure, the long ma- 
 nure should be fed to them. The farmer who has a good 
 soil, should take care to keep it good ; and he who has a 
 poor soil should strive constantly to make it better, as eve-] 
 ry advance he makes in improving it, increases his produc-' 
 tive capital. This preservation, or increase of fertility,! 
 cannot be well effected, without a due regard to I 
 
 3. ^■Alternating Craps. Few soils will bear a repetition, 
 of the same crop for successive years, even vvitli the aid 
 of dung, without diminution of product, whether in tillage 
 or grxiss. One reason of this is, that each kind of crop 
 lakes from the soil a specific food, which other kinds do not 
 take in like quantity. Hence, duiing an intermission ofj 
 four or five yeai-s there is ordinai-ily restored to the soil (he 
 specific food of that kind which it is capable of growing, 
 Cultivated crops are sometimes grouped, in alternate hus- 
 bandry, in three classes, viz. dry crops, embracing all the 
 small grains, and which are most exhausting ; 2d, grassj 
 crops, embracing timothy, orchard grass and other perreni-' 
 al varieties, winch exhaust less, but which run out, or sen-; 
 sibly diminish in product, in a low years; and 3d, green 
 Crops, comprising clover, (ui'nips, &,c. which pulvcri::e and 
 ameliorate tiie soil, and exhaust lea?t of all. Where con- 
 venient, a crop of one of each of these classes should fol- 
 low in succession, the gi-ass continuing to occupy the ground 
 while it continues to yield a good crop of hay. If retain- 
 ed too long inigrass. the soil becomes too compact, and im- 
 pervious to the genial influences ^of heat and air. It is^ 
 particularly recommended, that two dry crops should not 
 silcceed each other, except wheat or rye may follow oats, 
 when the latter is made a fallow crop upon an old grass j, 
 ley. Although the deterioration under a b;iil jjy.sUnn of 
 ('roj)ping may be slow, aiid almost imperceptible, yet both 
 science and experience teacli us that it is inevitable, 
 and fatal to the ult.inialo hopes of the husbandninn. —

 Many of the old states afford lamentable evidence of thia \ 
 truth. 
 
 4-, Root Culture is one cif the best ^ifts which modern 
 improvement haa liestowed upon husbandry. It gives the 
 most animal food with the least labor,; it, is, under good 
 management, tlie most ceitain in Ita returns ; it gives the 
 most manure ; it best ameliorates the soil, and fits it for dry 
 crops ; and it affords an impoitant Uipk in the chain of al 
 ternation. It is conaidered the basis of good husbandry in 
 Great Britain, Flanders, Gennany and France, and has 
 transformed the county of Norfolk from a waste to the most 
 profitable district in England. Highly as the beet culture 
 is prized in France, ad^affording a material for the profitable 
 fabrication of sugar, it is no less valued as an alternating 
 root crop, and ,as affording a material for making good beef 
 and good mutton. The roots that may enter extensively 
 into our husbandry, txw, the potatoe (and the varieties of 
 these that are best for the table, afford the most nutriment to 
 cattle) mia. bpga, mangold wurtzel, carrot, parsnip and su 
 war beet. • 
 
 As subsidiary to the preceding cardinal points in good 
 farming, we give the following, which, altliough they may 
 appear to many to be hackneyed truisms, are neverthel^sa 
 so important as to be worth often.repeating. • J.'. ,^ ,j , ,y.!„ L 
 
 !). Keep none l)ut good farm frtock, whether as regards 
 breeds or individuals. Sell ths worst of your flocks. Likq 
 produces like ; and the gain in breeding from the best yoU 
 have, greatly counterbalances the extra price that the prime 
 individual will bring in the mai'ket. A cow that gives 18 
 quarts of milk per day in June, costs no more in her keep 
 than one that gives but 6 quarts ; yet the product of the 
 first is three-fold, and the profits four-rfold, those of the lat 
 ter. The fleece of the Saxon or Merino sheep is twice as 
 valuable as that of the common one, though the cost of 
 keeping tliem is the same. And the same corn that will 
 make 100 lbs. of pork upon a long-legged, long-snouted, 
 razor-backed hog, will put 150 or 200 lbs. upon the fraiuj 
 of a Berkshire or other improved breed. \-?'^\ , ;' ' / * 
 
 6. Keep your farm stock well. A certain quantity o 
 food must be given to keep thorn alive, all lx>yond this goes|

 to increase growth, or is converted into meat, or milk, or 
 wool ; and it' a little extra food is in this way protitnhlp. 
 much must be prrtpoiiionahly more so, for the more food 
 you thus convoil, thi^ greater your return in labor, flesh and 
 milk. 
 
 7. Cultivate no mon^ land than you can im})rovo, with 
 -a reasonable certainty of handsome not profit, embracing 
 in the items of expenditnre the interest on its value, fences, 
 taxes, mantu'e and labor. The p;ood farmer, who raifres 
 80 bushals of corn on one acre of land, clears the price of 
 r)0 busliels, which at 50 cents the bushel, is $2.'>. The 
 poor farmer, who cultivates /our acres of corn, and gv'ts.30 
 bushels on an acre, barely gets compensatetl f t his labor and 
 expense. We estimate the expense of raisinii, an;I liarvcst 
 ing an acre of corn at .^l.i, or the ])nce of 'iO bushels of 
 the grain. 
 
 8. Buy good implements' and tools, though they cosf 
 more than poor ones, and always keep them in repair for 
 use. A good plough is drnwn with half the team tliat ;i 
 bad one is, and does the work twice as well, ])rovided tht; 
 ploughman knows how to use it. One good })loughing is 
 better than two bad ones. Hence the farmer is soctn* com- 
 pensated for the additional cost of the good article. The 
 same remark holds good in regard to other- implement,-; an<l 
 tools of the farm. In row cultmv, tlie cultivator will pay 
 for itself in a season, in the economy of lahor : the st^a^v 
 cutter will do the like in economizing ibdder, and the drill 
 barrow is a subject of e(iual economy in root culture. 
 
 9. We hardly need admonisli the reader to use none but 
 clean good seed ; for every man knows that he will reap 
 only what he sowa — tlie cheat controversy to the contrary 
 notwithstanding. 
 
 10. And lastly, we should disregard our duty, «li<l we 
 not press upon the consideration of every farmer the im- 
 portance o( agricultural publications, as the cheapest and 
 most certain means of improving in ihi practice and prolits 
 of his business. These brinsj to his notice constantlv the 
 improveYuents and discoveries that are going on irj the husi- 
 
 Iness of agriculture, and theydetxiii the practice of the best 
 fanners of our country. He tliat does not keep ])ace with

 the iraproveraenUs of ihe day, in kusbandiy, as in other

 Those who stand stilJ and content themselves with the prac- 
 tice .o( their fathers, will soon find thnt the business, active 
 world, have all gone ahead of them. But we urtre thfs 
 matter particularly u.s an efficient means of instruclinj^ and

 terize the yeomanry of a free country. Tlie seed must he 
 sown, and the mind be nurtured in the youth, if we would 
 exjx^ct p. harvest of respectability and usefulness in the 
 
 man. ... ,. , .., ,' -- 
 
 THE POTATOE. > 
 
 Fnnu very nice experiments made in England, Scotland, 
 and the United States, the following conclusions are drawn 
 respecting this valuable root. 
 
 1. That in this latitude the potatoe is better, both as 
 to product and flavor, when grown on a moist and cool, 
 than when grown on a warm and dry soil — better on a 
 moderately loose and friable, than on a hard compact 
 sod. 
 
 2. That tliey do letter on a grass ley than on a stubble — 
 and better with long or luifermented manure, than with 
 shoit muck. 
 
 3. That medium sized whole tubers give a better crop 
 than sets or verj- large tubers. 
 
 4f. That tb-ills or rows should be adapted to the growth 
 of tlie tops, and the condition of the soil — the small grow- 
 ing tops nearer, and those having larger tops farther apart — 
 so that tlie sun may not be excluded from the intervals ; 
 and where the soil is stiff, or the sod tough, hills are con- 
 sidered ])referable to drills. 
 
 5. That if the ground is well prepared, and the seed well 
 :co\Tre<l, they are benefitted by heavy earthing; and that 
 ploughing among them, or earthing them, after they come 
 iu bloom, i.s prejudicial. ■ ■. lA .'«■?- f"?in '*);')■ 
 
 ti. That U"3 kinds best for the taDle, ai^ also l)est for 
 fanii st.Hik, containing a larger portion of nutriment than 
 iuferior kinds.

 ; THI<: HOUSEWIFE.— PRESERVING BUTTER. 
 
 Relieving liiat butter may be kept, 8vveet and good, in 
 our rllmate, almost any length of time, if properly ii;unn- 
 fac.tured, and well taken care of, in oi'der to test the valid- 
 ity of tliip opinion, wo liad two potsj put down, one in June, 
 and the other i" August, 1834, more than twenty' months 
 ago ; and o.. j»rcbingthem with a trj'er, while penning this 
 'article, the butter is found perfectly sweet, and seems to 
 'retain most of its original flavor and freshness. W(^ de- 
 Isign to send both pots to Boston ii^^yii fall, with, a view 
 of having its mode of manufacture, and method of pre- 
 servation, judged of by the butter tasters of that notable city. 
 
 In the manufacturing process, no water is permi'llrd to 
 come in crmtact with the cream or bvtier — because it is be- 
 jlieved tliat water, and particularly soft water, (iissi[>ates 
 .much of the fine flavor that gives to butter its hijifi value. 
 jTho Orange County Dairy Women say, " give us good 
 hard vt'ater and we will make good butter" for the reason, 
 probably, that it abstracts less of of the aroma from the but- 
 ter than soft water. The temperature of the cream may 
 be regulated by cold or hot water put into a tub, in which 
 the chum may be plunged. If the cream is clean it needs 
 nowashiug; and if the butter is dirty, water will never 
 wash it. 
 
 Nothing but good well ])ulverized salt is ured in preserv- 
 ing the butter ; this is all mixed, and all dissolved, in the 
 mass, before tlie butter has its second, thorough and final 
 working with the butter ladle, and whiiyi^xkot finished till 
 all the buttermilk is expelled. 
 
 To avoid all taint from the butt 
 to exclude it from the air, whic 
 is packed close in clean stone ja 
 
 is tjovered with a strong brine, r^l^HHpjHP t)j«, previous 
 boiling, skimmmg and settling. In tvtiiijfTOoiitKi?miB brine 
 haa betm twice renewed, on the appearance of a film upon 
 tlie' surface of the old pickle. To preser\^e butter, air and 
 water, and heat above 6.^ or 70 degrees, are to be guarded 
 against a,s much as possible. The brine upon the surface 
 does not penetrate the mass, nor while sweet taint it ; but 
 it thoroughly excludes the air.
