sMALL PENS FOR FATTENINa noes.

That exercise conduces very little towards
taking on flesh, while quiet assists materially
in fastening the operation of fattening, is well
known, and should ever be taken in account
by those who would fit any animal for slaught-
ering. The following, from the american
Agricaitmist, is worth the attention of far
mers:
s'From observation, extending over a dozen
years or more, made in villages and i'll the
rural DISTRICTS We have noticed that the fat
test and the best pork is made.in the former,
where one or two pigs are usually kept in a
small pen. The vilager has but small room,
and crowds his pig into narrow quarters for
the whole year. 1t is fed on Stops for eight
months, and for the last four is crammed with
scalded Indian meal. He gets pork of deci-
dedly better quality than lie can purchase,
and gets its cheaper. The whole energy OF
the animal is forced by his training into the
production of flesh and fat.
The pigs of the farmer, on the other hand,
run in pasture, or on the common for six OF
eight months, and are shut up dozen or
more in a large pen to fatten, because he has
plenty Of room. The energy of the animal has
gone very much to the development of snout
and feet, and the propensity to run and root
is not circumscribed very much in his roomy
pen. By Christmas he is not more than two
thirds fattened, and he has consumed quite as
much as the village pig, which is ready for the
knife. We have two yearling pigs, good fol
four hundred and fifty pounds of pork by
Christmas, that have never been out of a pen
eight feet by twelve since they were eight
weeks old. Small pens, kept dry, and regu
lar feeding, is the secret of their thrift

QUARTERLY MEETING OF THE MONTGoM
ERY COUNTY SOCIETY.

At the last quarterly meeting of the Mont
gomery County Agricultural Society--a dis
eussion took place as to the proper time to
apply manure;
.'Mr. H. Dull, of Lower Merton, gave as his
opinion that the spring of the year was the
proper time. Col Knox, of Norton, stated
that he had never tried any other plan than Of
spreading 1t on the oats 6tubble IN the fall of
the year. DR.. McCrca, of Philadelphia, stated
thathe had pursued the old plan; and was
very much pleased to see the question brought
before the Society for discussion. Mr.. w. b.
Roberts. of Upper Merton, stated that the plan
pursued by himself was to spread the manure
ON the sod in the spring of the year for corn.
Thought ii was good economy to apply it as
IL was made Mr.. II. C. Hoover, Of Norton,
said his experience was that the best time to
apply manure was in the spring, as it would
reach farther; by leaving it lie in the yard
during tho summer, great portion Of the
value of the manure was lost. Mr.. Dull hauls
all his manure out in the spring says he buys
no manure has hauled clean straw on the
ground, and received as much benefit as from
manure. Col. Knox believes the application
of manure to the surface the best. Mr.. A. w.
Corson, of Whitemarsh, applied load of SCOT
from the railroad, causing speedy growth, but
in the end there was no more grass than in
other places. Mr.. w. b. Roberts thought corn
ground manure stood the dry weather best
has noticed coal-dust to be of service on grass.
Mr.. Dull commended that a load of straw upon
grass will do more good than the same straw
converted into manure and applied; thinks
no manure should lie in the barn-yard saws
he does not feed oats chat; thinks it affects
the eyes Of cattle. Mr.. Charles Stout thinks
manure does not waste by being applied in tae
fall or winter; thinks it answers quite as well
in the fall as in the spring.

One of the greatest nuisances at the back
door Of many country houses, is the kitchen
drain Every farmer and gardener knows that
slops from the sink and soap suds from the
wash-tub, il saved would make an excellent
fertilizer; and that ii thrown upon the ground
at the back door, they become offensive to the
eye and nostrils, as we'll as source of disease.
For every man who has garden or farm, we
still recommend that all the refuse from kitch-
en- and chamber be saved and applied where
needed. II may be collected in barrels, or
conducted by troughs TO the manure heap,
and there mixed with muck or other alb
sorbents.
But those (pitiable people y who have no
desire to save slops, and who wish only TO be
deeently rid of them, we recommend plan,
which we have seen tried, and know to be a
good one. It was as follows: plank spout
was made three feet long, two feet wide at one
end, and one foot at the other the smallest
end was sunk in the ground near the kitchen
door. The upper end contained a movable
sieve with holes an inch in diameter. Be-
tween the two sleeves, little refuse matter in
the Stops passed through to clog up the drain
below. These sleeves are easily removed and
cleaned. A lid over the top of the spout to
keep down offensive odors, completedit. The
lower end of the spout terminated in plank
drain six inches in diameter, and twelve feet
long, laid below frost. This drain conducted
to cess pool six feet deep and five feet broad,
which was filled up with cobble-stones laid
loosely, and with considerable open space
in the centre. From oneside of this cess-pool,
a drain of tubular tile two and a half inches in
diameter, ran off into an adjoining pasture.
TO aid in keeping this cess-pool sweet, and in
carrying off the liquid clean through the tile
drain, the water from the COW troughs of an
adjoining shed or stable was conducted into
the cess-pool. At every considerable shower,
this washed ALI out thoroughly. This arrange.
ment has worked well for several years

6 should have said you would be more
humane,n observed London friend to me
than to shut up your COWS. Icould not have
believed you would be SO eruel.n few min.
utes conversation made a wonderful difference
in this benevolent lady's impressions. She
was thorough Londoner, and knew nothing
OF COW tastes and habits. With the ordinary
human tendency to fetishism, she regarded
COW life from her own point of view and pitied
my Meggie and Ailsi for not seeing the lovely
landscape as they lay Illuminating. The arrli
ment may be shortly given. Granting that
the so-called "natural condition. Of animals
is the happest-which may not be true in the
quadruped any more than the human case-it
is impossible at this time of day to put our
domestic cattle under the conditions Of the
primitive life of their race. When they roamed
our island wild they could shelter themselves
from the MONDAY heat in the forest and es-
cape the flies by getting into the water ;
whereas, whom once COWS are domestcated,
there is an end of forest shade and of recourse
to lakes and rivers; and the question is
whether something better isnot given. Taking
the Winter into question, there can be no
doubt about the matter. Lean COWS were
slaughtered in Autumn and sailed down for
Winter food in old times because there were
no mecns of feeding them during the interval
between the late and early grass; and as for
those which We're spared the slaughter we
know what their wildness from hunger was
by the end of Winter. The cows on a small
farm, (or on large one either) cannot have
open woods and waters to resort to. and. if
sent out to feed, have half-and-haif sort Of
life, TIE superiority of which to stall-foeding
may be questionable. They have neither the
natural nor the artificial protection from heat
and flies, and their condition is less equablc
than that of The stall-fed COW. In high Sum
Iner they may be very fat and sleek-too fat
to be perfect mixers but in early Springthey
are meagre, ragged, and half dry, when stall
fed agimals are nearly as cleek and prosperous
Es at any season. Harriet Martinsau.)

DEPTH OF uNpER-pRAINs.

In regard TO the depth of understands, John
Johnston, who has laid some go, 900 tile on
his farm in Seneca co., says i'll the Boston
Cultivator: 'If practicable, drains should go
so deep that the water comes in at the sides,
instead OF rising from the bottom of the ditch,
and this have found the case atfrOm two and
half to three feet deep on my farm, with very
few exceptions. After going deep enough to
protect the tile, (and two and half feet is
ample for that, can see no reason for going
down eighteen inches in the hard-pan or stiff
clay, wherein there is no water. Neither dc
