adopted in France to a considerable ex-

IN this country. Although not generally
adopted, it is deserving of consideration
by graziers. With respect to the effica-
cy of acid food for fattening animals
there Is, as on most of other subjects, a
variety OF opinions. Ii is well known
that swine derive more benefit from sour
milk than they do from milk in fresh

cred that the posts which had been in-
verted from the way they grew were solid
and those which had been set as they
grew were rotted off. This is certainly
an incident worthy of being noted by
our farmers.

Family Education & Amusement.


Sir John Sinclair, a Scotch baronet, who
died in 1885, was greatly distinguished for
efficient services in improving the agrlcul-
tural aud other interests OF Scotland and
it is remarked of him that he was cores
pendent of Washington. From long and
very interesting notice of Sir Johns life
and services, repubished in Llttelrs Living
Age from Chambers Repository, we select
the following
Sir Johns family was now very numer-
Gus aud IN subsequent years, on the verge
Of death, he remarked, IN his usual spirit of
cheerful thank iulness, that he had lived to
see seven sons grown up, not one of whom
had ever incurred debt he could not pay,
or caused HIM d sorrow that could have
been avoided In devising plans for the
cultivation of his chlloren's minds he dis
played 50 much of the ingenuity which dis
tngushed him on other subjects, that those
who are parents themselves may perhaps
read with pleasing sympathy OF one who
established aud carried out the domestic
constitution IN most agreeable form of
government. When absent from home, he
promised to his young family a reward for
the best letter that should be written TO him
during his absence, which led TO keen but
friendly competition, generally ending by
as many prizes being awarded as there were
Correspondents and many AN eager eye

his return was expected home, for the white

with which, as soon as 1t came IN sight, he
announced has approach At an early Pc
rod, he established family periodical,
named The Spy, the juvenile contributions
to which were read aloud every Saturday
after breakfast and he sometimes suggest
ed subjects for these essays. One OF them
was, On the Comforts of Religion" An
other DAY. he desired each of the children
10 choose one of the characters in Miss
Edgewouh's novel, Patronage, then recent
ly published, and to write dissertation up
on 1t; and subsequently,, he told all his
young people an amusing story, which they
we're desired to turn into rhyme. The re-
suit OF this experiment was such an absurd
collection of doggerel verses, as nearly ex-
lingulshed Sir John himself, and the audi
ence who heard them, with laughter. 1t
became evident that there was no Milton or
Byron IN the family. Another very Improy-
ing exercise of mind was tried, when the
chlldrea had a supposlious person descrlb-
ed before them, to whom they must write an
appropriate letter of congratulation or con-
dolence. A widow lady was perhaps imag-
med, who had lost two sons, one very prom
lsing, and the other perfect contrast; or,
young lady had succeeded to large
fortune, by the death of u kind and Pious
relative, therefore the juvenile correspond.

PREMIUM ON BARLEY.-Mr. John Tufts,
OF Wardsboro, VT, accompanying his APP
plication to the Windham County Agrieul-
tural Society, for premium on field Of
Barley, says, " In the spring of 1850, the
ground having been six years in grass, was
Plowed TO the depth of six or seven inches,

hay. The best acre yielded sixty five BUSH
els. The whole piece of three and one-half
acres averaged about fifty bushels to the
acre, the two and one half acres of the
lghtest having been in oats the preceding
year, and but slightly MANFRED That part
OF the piece also suffered much from the
drouth, having lighter growth Of straw.
Nine years ago, raised upon the same
ground an average Of sixty bushels to the
acre, with substantially the same cultiya-
ton, having the important advantage of
month earlier sowing, hoed crop upon the
whole piece the preceding year, and a more
favorable season." Hulled barley cooked
thoroughly, makes excellent food for dys-
Peptcs, or any one else, and sells high in
the market, as Vermont Rice.
