The Great Massaehusetts Bullock.

The great bullock fatIed by Mr..
Sanderson of Bernardstown, Mass,
which is said to have weighed 1860
pounds, sold to Bvran Lawrence, of
Center Market, at a "big price" has
been slaughtered. His weight day
before he was slaughtered, was 3,3@O
pounds. The dressed animal weighed
2,463 pounds or 154 pounds heavier
than the celebrated OK, Union, max
ing the Constitution" formerly He
'ro,b the largest OK ever slaughtered
in this or any other country. The
measurement of this bullock, which
was grade Durham six years old, Is
given as follows:
Height, 5 feet inches; largest girth
II feet 5; length from roots of horns

four quarts Of dry meal daily when
three years old, and gradually increas
ed to twelve quarts, which has been
his regular per diem quantity for threl
years. He has been kept in an open
shed all the winter, and has not ven
tured out of the barn-yard for three
years, except to attend a cattle-show

81 AS the season at which most farm
.,crs 3 sow cloverseed, that is, on late
e3snow or in the month of March, at the
verv latest. Is not far distant, and as
good farmers usually supaly themselvs
Iifh seed before the time OF using IT,
so as TO take advantage of the market
or to secure a good, clean article, when
such can be found, the following sug-
ogestion may prove not only seasohaoio
but also of service:
y Notwithstanding that 1t had Dech
long found very ineonvenient at nay.
Ping time. when the smaller KINDS oil
red clover and timothy are grown to-
opptber. that the clover arrives at ma
fnritv a considerable while before the
timothy. and that, in consequence OF
this diversity in the time OF their
rinening. either the timothy must be
cut before it is fully ready, or the clio
yer must stand until it Is altogether
too ripe; still it continues to be the
general practice, in several districts
known to the writer, to make use oi
the smaller kind of clover when seed
ing down for hay. Very few within
the writer's knowledge have bcch al
the pains to send for or procure II
some way the larger kind whose pc
riod of maturity corresponds mucl
more nearly with that of timothy, anc
this Notwithstanding that all cOnyers
ed with on the subject admit that boil
inconvenience, perplexity and loss re
suit from the circumstance of the un
equal ripcning Of the two plants nov
under notice. 1t is to be feared tha
much of this travelling in the old ruts
or continuing an unprofitable pracsIc
is the result Of laziness, or disin
.clination to depart from the custom
among ones neighbors. But whateTc
may be the cause, there IS certainly
more excellent way, and those who dc
sire to walk in it will procere seed G
the largest variety of red clover an
SOW it rather thickly. This will b
found in proper condition to cut at til
same time with timothy, as the latte
is better to cut early on account OF tn
stem getting coarse and woody, II fei

z II Deop Flowing.

A recent English Farmer makes thc
following sensible remark on deep cul-
ture: "That land may be injured by
deep culture is a common but a very
erroneous opinion. Flowing down
good earth and up bad and letting
them remain in that position, must les
sen fertility for a time, but that is not
deep culture; it is literally exclrang-
ing good earth for bad, and the. Fesg-
SON why individuals declare that they
have injured their land by deep plow-
ing. Let the nature Of the land be
what it may, it can be raised to its
greatest fertility only by sufficient
1y-deep pulverization and mixture of
the ingredients. Where tie" subsoil
is of good quality, and in many places
tits better than the soil, bring it up
at once to the surface. Where deep
culture is .judiciously executed, in no
case does the new earth lessen or de-
stFoy the fertility Of the old; on the
contrary they improve each other, and
constitute a deeper and more product.

Cost Of Fences.

We see going the rounds state
ment respecting the cost of fences in
certain States, as MeA as in the Uni
ted States, followed bya course of
reasoning as though the whole thing
was an unnecessary expenditure, and
might be saved. Sometimes the plan
pursued in portions of France, Hol-
land, Prussia, etc., is referred to with
approval, where few or no fences are
used, there being only line of hedge,
or ridge to denote the division of
land between different Eroprietors, etc.
All this is very we'll to talk about and
"show mp" but it possesses little sub
stantial weight. 1t is true that some
fences on our farms could be well dis
pensed with at considerable saving.
We see it eyeFy day and regret it; but
each farmer being his own master, is
supposed to be the best judge of what
should be done upon his own premises.
The practical man who labors with
his own hands, ANA Knows what it is
to earn his money! is not likely te
squander it upon useless fences,
Why, the same argument might be
used respecting many other things re
quiring heavy expenditure throughout
the country. We could live in half as
costly houses, keep a l.orsc and vehicle
less, wear our clothes longer, and have
only halfas many, with other matters
which, considered in a general sense
would be just as applicable as the
reasoning about fences.
In France, Holland, etc, so often
quoted, the land is cut mp mostly into
plots Of few acres only, and cultiva
ted in the most thorough manner
There is no need of fences, because
there is no pasturing; soiling or stall
feeding being generally practi@d.-
1t may become so here; in the vityilias
of our large cities a century hence
1t is not the growth of Il year or gen
