From The ". Y. Farmer and Mechanic.
The culture of the Cranberry.

This valuable fruit, We are pleased to learn, is
becoming more than ever favorte among our
citizens, and the demand for it is constantly in
creasing. We perceive that much attention is
also being attracted to its culture and soils htl
erto considered unfit for its cultivation, can be
very easily aud perfectly adapted to its use.
4 practical farmer says The efforts of sci
entifc gardeners and fruit raiscrs, have of late
abundantly demonstrated the important fact, that
the Cranberry is susceptible Of easy and profita-
bic cultivation on soils of almost every descrip-
ton, not even excepting the highest lands. The
yield, per acre, in many instances, has exceeded
three hundrcd baShels! a crop which, in Boston
market, would, at recent prices, be worth from
four TO five hundred dollars. writer, who pro-
fesscs to have had no inconsiderabe experience
in the cultivation of the cranberry, says; the
method of preparing the ground is the same as
for grains The wild cranberrvt is transplanted
in rows twenty inches apart little hocing is
all that is required, when they will spread with
out care.
A few months since, while on an autumnal
excursion to the shores Of Lake Sebaro, during
which visited and navigated all the principal
streams dIsemboguing their waters into its bed,
passed several days in fishing and cunning on
str' am known by the appellation of Muddy

wi the cranberry vine, which, at that season

From the Cultlyator.
Breeding Sheep.

Whatevcr may be the diversity Of opinion in
regard to in-and.in breeding, to limited extent,
there is no doubt Of its injurious tendency when
carried to any considerable length and it is a
matter of some moment to be able to discover, by
visible signs, those animals whose constitutions
have been thus injured. In swine, it is COM
monty received opinion, that hollow, back of
the shoulders, is pretty sure indication of this
course of breeding.
My principal object in this article, is to start
the inquiry, what is the index of in-and-n breed
ing among sheep! 1t is an opinion OF those who
speak with the voice OF oraclcs that the falling
Of the wool upon the shouders.--a lifeless an.
pearance of the wool in that part OF the fleece
is the unerring evidence Of it. Is this true D.
1t is doubtless true that this trait is found in
many focks where this pernicious system has
been practised. Ii there was originally any of
this barrenness upon the shoulders, n-and-in
breeding wouid doubtless perpetuate, perhaps in
crease it, unless an effort was directed to breed
il out. Upon what evidence is this opinion ba-
sed If the theory is established, unquestiona-
bly, many facts may be adduced, seeming to cor
roborate it; but the question is, upon what facts
is it established
Now | have the experience of the best shep-
herd of nv acquaintance, and who has no supe-
rior in Ohio, upon this subject. tie does not de-
nv that this may be the true sign and result OF
breeding in-and-in, but says lie mas no sullclcn'
evidence on the contrary, his own observit ON
con,radcts it. His flock is one of the oldest u
the state About fifteen years ago, this pee COLLAR
itv prevailed to a considerable extent in his llocr
there had never been any in-and-in breeding
whatever; but now he attempted TO breed it out,
and used for this purpose rams from his own
ewes, but Of foreign rams. In IA few years this
fault disappeared, in consequence of his breeding
in reference it.
1t is an opinion that breeding in, has ten
dency 10 render the wool harsh. This is belize
we'd 6y many excellent shepherds. Now, is it
not true that to great extent. animals are in
the care of the breeder as clay in the hands OF
the potter? You may breed horns on your flock,
or you may breed them of--woolly legs or bare
legs--long wool or shor--close or open. May
not this popularity in the shoulders he similar
trait, which may be bred in or out at pleasure
And is not the above instance pretty clear evil
dence that the result of interviewing may be OBJ
liberated by the very course which is said to pro-
duce it?
In agrc uture. emphetcaly, experience should
be the lamp to direct our path, and it is facts we
want. Just now the growing of fine wool is
engrossing fhe attention Of the people of eastern
and northern Ohio, and whatever relates to the
subject is Of vital importance,

Planting Orchards.

Apple trees should be planted about 80 feet
distant from each other: pears and cherries, 90
feet; plums, peaches, nectarine, aprcots. and
almonds, II feet. The large intervening space
between the rows of apple and pear trees may
be illIed up with rows OF pears on ounce at or
10 feet apart or with peaches. plums, &c and
thus all portions of the land will be productive
OF fruit crops during the period IL, apples and
the pears on the pear stock. are attaining their
full development. Ounces should be planted
about 8 to 10 feet apart, and as they flourish
most in damp soil. they may be planted in To-
cations that are too moist for most other fruits.
The grape delights in dnop, frablo soil, and
although usually found growing in wild state
in moist locations it accommodates itself to all
soils that will admit of its roots penetrating deep
and to abstract the requisite nourishment, and
there is perhaps 10 other plant which is suscep
tible OF such universal adaptation to climate ant
soil by proper management. w. r. PRINCE.

The Milk Business Of Rochester.

we were informed Jay or two since by
gentleman who took the trouble TO make him
self acquainted with the amount of Mix sold in
this city in the year 1913, that the total receipts
for that article were SIXTY SEVEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS Incredible as this statement may
seem, we were nevertheless assured that it is
true.-AdreriiSer.
Few duly appreciate the comparative value of
good milk "a an article of food. The
best pieces Of beef now cost in the city eight
cents pound, and milk four cents quart,
which will Weighs little over two pounds. BY
taking quart of milk as furnished by the Ro-
chester City Milk Company,and cvaporating it to
perfect dryncss and drying at the same time at
an equal temperature (25O degress) pound OF
lean beef steak, we find that the four cents worth
of milk yield more dry matter than the eight
cents worth of meat. On analysis, the milk
yields more sugar and oil (butter) than the flesh
but less iibrn. The casein (cheese) is not quite
equal to the heterogeneous matter in tlesh-wc
speak Of given weight of the dry matter of
each, free from water. The excess of sugar
400 grains of milk contain grains OF sugar as
it comes from the cow and the excess of oil
render a quart of the Company's milk WORT,
more than pound of steak for the sustenance
of one that does not perform much muscular
labor.
Repeated analyses of milk after cows have
been varously fed show that the quality and in.
trinsic value OF this article of human food, can
be materially deterioratcdor improved by chang
ing the forage of the animal
! We find that 100 lbs. of carrots contain 80 lbs
OF water, which is a larger percentage thar
milk should have. They yield good deal o
sugar, but lack the elements required to form ;
fair portion of cheese.
