SMALL vs.. LARGr ANIMALS Mr.. C. M.
Bemont, of Poughkeepsie, n. Y, writes
to the Stocb Journal "Of late years.
since breeders began to cultivate with
more precision, small or moderate
sized animals have generally been pre-
ferred, for the following reasons: Small
sized animals are more easily kept
they thrive on shorter heritage, they
collect feed where larger animal
could hardly exist, and hence are
more profitable The meat is finer
grained, produces richer gravy, has Of
ten a superior flavor. and is commonly
more nicely marbled, or veined with
fat, especially when they have been fed
for two years. Large animals are not
50 well calculated for general consump-
ton as the medium or mOderate-sized
particularly in hot weather; large ami
mails poach pastures more than small
ones, they are not so active require
more rest, collect their food with more
labor, and will only consume the more
nicer and delicate sort of plants.
Small cows of the true dairy breeds
S 'NDAN MIN llDllNl LouillN lndl
larger ones. Small cattle may be fat
tened solely on grass of even moder-
ate quality; whereas the large require
the richest pastures, or TO be Stalled
the expense of which cxhausts the
profit of the farmer. It is much east
er to procure well-shaped and kindly
feeding stock Of a small size than of n
large one. Small sized cattle may be
kept by many persons who cannot af-
ford either to purchase on to maintain
large ones, and by whom the loss, if
any accident should happen to them,
can be more easily borne The small
sized sell better; for butcher from a
conviction that in proportion to their
respective Dimensions thereis n great
er superhcies of valuable parts in a
small than large animal, will give
more money for two oxen of one hun
dred and fifty pounds per quarter,
than for one of three hundred pounds"

CUBRANT BUSHES -Any one can raise
curTant bush, but the thing is to
raise a fine bush. Take young sprouts,
last years growth and remove the
eyes from the lower portion of the
shoot for about nine inches, which
will prevent suckers being thrown up
from the roots. Plant in the spring
or fall, III rich ground rs the roots of
the currant do not extend themselves
far in the search Of food They should
be yearly supplied with rotten manure,
dug in about the roots The culture
of this fruit is often neglected in the
best gardens. Plant eight feet apart
treat well, and for fifteen years your
table may be supplied with this cheap
luxury, costing you little or nothing.
Every one that owns few feet Of land,
MS well as the farmer who owns his
hundred acres, should plant out cur
rant bushes. If you think so it takes
but few minutes, and with a little
care taken of them, you will soon be
amply paid for your trouble, Put not
off till tomorrow that which should
be done to day. ] have known farm
ers to say, when urged to make some
improvement Il haven't time this
spring to set out those bushes; my
work is too hurying; l will have
leisure in the fall, then | will attend tc

WHEN TO PLANT CoaN-Field corn
planted early in May has usually to be
replanted once or twice This makes
unnecessary labor, for that planted
some weeks later usually ripens at
nearly the same time. If the seed
does not rot in the ground, the poor
little yellow blades are frost bitten.
and their shriyelled ends pine for the
hot sun. Those plants that survive
the chills and rains of Nav, are not so
healthy, or well prepared to take adj
vantage of the warm weather when il
comes, so that planted in the proper
season, which in the latitude of the
most of New England, New York and
westward is after the middle of Nav
in almost all seasons; and often il is
not best to plant before the first of
June. No fault is more surely repent
ed of than too early planting of corn.
If well soaked, and placed in warm
soil, corn is very soon above ground
and a few warm days place it beyond
fear of harm from cut-worms, white
grub, wire worms or crows whereas
that planted early in the month must
10 battle with al these iog several
weeks, if IT survives the dampness and
the frosts. ---igrtcUiturisL

ST.. ALBANs. Our neighbour ut the
North is n growing and active town.
We were struck, on a recent visit there,
with the marks of progress and i'm
provement, The Railroad shops re-
Gently completed, have few rivals in
their way in the substantial good taste
of the exterior, and the extent and
completeness Of the interior arrange
ment The pay roll of hands employed,
including fifty or sixty engineers, is
about four huHdred and .fdy. OF course
the addition of such number of me-
chanics to the population gives a pow
erful impulse to the general trade and
prosperity of the place. The road is
now building ten locomotives for its
own use, the calls of Government and
the immense increase of railroad bust
ness generally crowding the great To-
connective factories till it has become
impossible to buy the motive power de-
manded by the rapidly increasing bus
mess of the Road. One or two Of the
machines already built under the su-
pervision of Mr.. Perkins, the master
mechanic of the Road, cannot be beat
for beauty and excellence, and cost far
less to build than to buy. Such a To-
connective as few years ago cost $l0,-
900 cannot now be bought for less than
$4,000 to $4,000 Some Of the pas
senger cars built in these shops, and
especially the new Ladies Cars" of
which one has been completed and
others are building, are models of ele-
gance and comfort
But the railroad grounds and build
ings do not monopolize all the improve
ments, The common, on park, is being
graded to a proper surface The ex-
cayations for the foundations of new
hotel, to cost some $4,000 are in pro
gress. The Catholic church, which
has been for years in an unfinished
state, has of late gained spire, and is
in process of completion without and
within. Private dwellings are multi
plying, and the appearance of things
generally betokens increasing thrift and
prosperity.-Free Press.

PIcrunEs-A room with pictures, and
aroom without pictures, differ MS much
MS a room with windows and room
without windows, Nothing is more
melancholy, particularly to a person
who has to pass much time in his room,
than bleak walls and nothing on them,
Tor pictures are loopheles Of escape for
the soul, leading to other scenes and
spheres. 1t is such an inoxpressible
relief to n person engaged in writing,
or even reading, on looking up, not to
have his line of vision chopped off by
an odious white wall, but to find his
soul escaping, as it were, through the
frame of an exquisite picture, to 9TH
or beautiful, and, perhaps, heavenly
scenes, when a fancy for a moment
may revcl refreshed and delighted
Thus, pictures are CONSIDERS of loneli-
ness they are a relief to the faded
mind; they are windows to the impris-
oned thought they are books, they are
histories and sermons, which we can
read without the trouble of turning over
the leaves.

GREEN FooD roE Those who
from having long been confined to a
diet of salt junk and potatoes, sit
down for the first time in the season
to enjoy early grown greens, lettuce,
and green peas, may understand some
thing of the longing which cattle and
other stock feel for the return of grass
feed in spring. It is, however, I'M
wise to indulge them in range OF
pasture, until the growth is well estab-
lished. Pasture may be greatly in
jured by too early cropping, and by
trampling while the ground is soft.
No hoof should enter a meadow or
grain field in the spring time. Beets
and carrots Will now come to an excel
lent market if they are on hand IT
is we'll, where only small quantity
are raised, to keep them over for spring
feeding If none have heretofore
been cultivated, the desire for them
now, should lead to preparation OF
ground for crop the present season
Plow deep, sub-soil if needed, manure
thoroughly and SOW in drills l IL tc

How TO PnfsrRyE YouR FuRs -Furs,
says q writer in one of the New York
papers, who seems to be thoroughly
familiar with the subject, should never
be put away for the summer and for
gotten, as they so frequently are: and.
next, to being shut up from the air
their greatest enemy is damp. If from
the wearer being exposed to rain. they
become wet, they should always be
dried at moderate distance from the
fire immediately and in warm wealth
err, when not required for wear, they
should never be shut in box or
drawer for more than a few days at a
time, and every few weeks they should
be shaken and beaten
The more delicate skins REQUIRE
somewhat more delicate treatment
The best plan is, probably, not to pack
furs away, but TO let them lie in q
drawer or wardrobe that is constantly
being opened, so that they may meet
the eye frequently, and being thus
often III sight, ii is easy Mt convenient
opportunities, to have them taken out
and beateni or at any rate, shaken
and tossed and thoroughly exposed to
the air. 1t is common to hear it re-
marked that the moth gets into furs,
as if the insect actually migrated from
one locality to another; the probabili-
ty is, however, that furs and woolens
are animal substances, endowed with q
vital principle, which deyolopes itself
INTO the living organisms through the
decay of its material shape. Cleanli-
ness and airing are therefore absolute
ly essential.

than if they had lived in Kamtsohatka.

they call n front parlor is made ex-
pressly so that you never shall know
They sit in back room, work, talk,
read, perhaps. After the servant has
let you in and opened crack of the
shutters, and while you sit waiting for
them TO change their dress and come
in, yon speculate as to what they may
be doing, From somo distant region
the laugh Of child, the song of a
canaly-bird reaches YOU and then a
door claps hastily to. DO they love
plants? Do they write letters, sew,
embroider, crochet DO they ever
romp aud frolic? What books do they
read? Do they sketch or paint? OF
