LOCAL NEwsPAPERs.-We can heart
lily endorse the remarks of contemporary, that the
local newspapers should be complete reflex of the
business and prosperity of their place of publica-
ton, and every one ought to be impressed with the
importance of this fact who has charge of such
journals. 1t should be the imperative duty of all
business men to patronize, sustain and encourage
their local journals, not alone for their own indi
vidual interest but for the welfare of the commu-
ity in which they published Local news Of
local papers is regarded by intelligent business
men in every place. 1t is through this source that
one is qualified to judge of the business and activ-
ity of towns and villages therefore, the necessity
of literally patronzing local papers, not only by
the way of advertising; but in furnishing the ma
terial to make them entertaining and profitable to
all. 1t cannot be expected that Editor is cog
infant of all that is transporting throughout the
town and country, and for this reason every man
should feel it privilege to assist in making public
through the local papers, events daily occurrence
in which he resides By this an Editor can furnish
through his paper complete record of all that
transpires in his town or county.

WHEAT.-During our trip to Cass-
apolis Monday last, we noticed that in many
fields the wheat had commenced heading out.
This, we believe, is rather earlier than usual We
have heard some complaint among the farmers of
the ravages Of the insect but so far as we were
able to judge, we think we have never seen the
wheat look better, and we have no doubt that full
average crop win be harvested in this county.

Hints on Unruly Stock.

The following valuable suggestions
are condensed from a communication
to the Ohio Farmer:
As general rule, our domestic ami
mails are never unruly except when
taught to be so. For instance, some
persons in turning stock from one field
to another, only let down few of the
top bars, and force their animals to
jump over Too lazy to put up as
well as to let down, they leave the gap
half closed, as temptation to the
stock, to jump back again. A few
practical lessons of this kind make an
imals unrnly. Carelesness in regard
to putting up fences when thrown
down. or in repairing weak spots, con-
firms the bad habit.
The writer saws his practice has al
ways been to teach his cows, calves,
sheep and hogs, to go through under,
rather than over the bars and fences,
always leaving rail or bar up at the
top. Taught in this way, they never
think of jumping, and he has never
been troubled with unruly animals, even
when his fences were low.
The Lambertville press., 1860-05-23
Facts about Milk.

Cream cannot rise through a great
depth of milk If, therefore, milk is
desired to retain its cream FOR time,
it should be put in deep narrow dish;
and if it be desired to free it most CON-
pletely from cream, it should be pour
ed In long fiat dish, not much excee-
ding one inch in depth. The evolu-
tion Of cream is facilitated by rise,
and retarded by depression of ter-
perature. At the usual temperature
of the dairy--forty degrees of Fab
renheit-all the cream will probably
rise in thirty-six hours but at seven
ty degrees it viii probably rise in halt
the time, and when milk is kept near
the freezing point, the cream will rise
very slowly, because it becomes soli-
fiea In wet and cold weather the
miib is less rich than in dry and warm,
aud on this sccount more cheese is OBJ
tanned in cold than in warm, though
not in thundery weather. The season
has its effects Milk in spring is sup-
posed to be the best for drinking, hence
it would be the best for calves in
summer it is best suited for cheese,
in autumn the butter keaping is bet
ter than in snmmcr-thc cows less
frequently MIXED, give richer milk
and consequently more butter.

Early Vegetables.


Many farmers are deferred from at
tempting to produce very early vege-
tables, BY a erroneous idea that the
making of hot-bed is complicated
and difficult operation, while It is just
as simple as making hill of corn
Every man who has garden of what.
ever size, If he viii once trv the ex-
pertinent of making hot bed. will
we venture to predict, find the task so
easy and the result so satisfactory,
that he viii never forego the luxury
afterwards. All that is necessary IS to
make pile of horse manure two feet
deep. with the top level or sloping to
the south. then set a rough frame made
of four boards nailed together at the
corners upon the bed of manure, fill the
frame with six inches of garden soil,
and cover with window of glass;
Any old window will answer the pur
pose, but st is better to have the glass
laid in the manner of shingles.
The best plants to force are toma-
toes and cabbage. which may be trans
planted from the hot-bed to the open
ground without any trouble. We
have removed tomatoes when they
were in blossom, and had them all live

they should be planted in flower pots,
and in traasplanting them you turn
the pot over in your open hand and
give it a gentle thump, when the earth
comes outin solid lump and the roots
are not disturbed in the least. While
the plants are growing, they should be
raised a few inches to give the plants
air We have found the growing of
plants under glass, from small hot
he'd, four feet by six, up to a large gra
perry for raisiug the black Hamburg
and Frontiguac grapes, the most sat
isfactory of all horticultural operations
Having the climate both in heat and
moisture, the plants can be made to
grow with a vigor which they rarely,
if ever exhibit in the open air. A hot
bed could be made from four to six
weeks before the time of planting corn.
