A SENENIY-FlVE ACRE FARM.
The Vermont correspondent Of the SPRING
field Union thus speaks Of the farm Of N. T..
sprague, ir., Of Brandon.
IN. 7. sprague, IT,, Egg, has a farm in
y andon, about one mile from the railroad
depot, consisting Of some seventy five acres
Of rich and fertile land, where he raises some
Of the best of stock such as thorough bred
spanish merno sheep, aud the Uay best Of
swine and poultry Mr. Spmgue is vice
President of the First National Bank, ard
devotes his leisure time. when away from
bank duties. TO agricultural pursuits. HIS
shepherd, COL II. IA. Merritt, who is ac-
knowledged as one of the best in the State,
has the entire charge Of the farm, md proves
himself worthy Of the position. Mr.. Sprague's
flock Of sheep consists OF Ono-hundrcd thor
ougb-brcd lnian ADDE'S Of the finest and pu-
rest quality. lie sold 10 Merrill Bingham,
Esq. Of Cornwall, ten yearing ewes and two
yearling bucks for the sum OF S6S0O. Also
to a Mr.. Stocking of Western New York,
one yesring buck for $1,000 and one owe
lamb lor $500. Many other large sales have
been made from his flock, varying IN prices
from one hundred TO one thousand dollars
per he ad, and az these prices sells all he can
raise. His yearing buck, Geaeral Grant"
is one Of the true specimens Of thorough
BREEDS, has been shtared bat once, and then
yielded a fleece Of 20 lbs, which is large
for that age. Mr.. tpugue thinks him the
best pattern in the country, and SO do many
other good judges. On poultry Mr. Spfague
goes IN for hens, chiefly Of he Bran ah breed,
fully convinced that they are the best both
for laying and eating purposes. His turkies
are of what is called the bronze breed, Of
which be now has a hen turkey weighing
- IL lbs, and many young tuikies which
were dressed from biz brood last December
weighed from 8 90 20 lbs each. On porkors,
Mr.. Sprague gives the Chester county breed
the preference and has some very fine sPeci-
mems.
This farm, taken as whole, is one of the
finest stock farms ! have ever visited, lbs pro-
prietor beiog of thar class OF men who are
able and ,gR have things to suit themselves.
lie has expended many thousand dollars in
improvements during the past year, and has
adopted the motto that "What Is worth do
ing at all s worth doing Well" In CONVEX
sauon with this gentleman he stated that
VIXEN he purchased this farm, some few years
since, he only cut from fifteen acres Of mea-
dow lard ten tons Of hay, but last season cut
over forty tons, which he accomplished by
top-dtessing" Of the manure, and says his
aim is TO make the same fifteen acres cut sixty
tons, and believes he will do it upon this
principle.

The Tribune Gays that it has been proved
in Central New York that three bushels Of

A correspondent Of the Prairie Farmer,
who kept dairy, knotOs it to be fact that if
his cows were not sailed as often as every

plough again the next summer four or hte

you are killing the thistles, you are putting

munities In seasons Of scarcity, more stock

wants; consequently the prics OF nay is un-
duly raised, and suffering, often irromediable
and ruinous to the community, is the result.
The true policy is to keep just as many AMI
mails as will consume the fodder produced on
the farm, and no more. But this would not
preclude the plan Of purchasing fodder
were the money at hand to do so---with the
intention of increasing the quantity Of ma
nure and the productive power Of The farm.
PrUcuces Oh the fam have greatly changed
in this respect, as in many others. We have
heard men boast Of wintefing a COW OF COM

Under such practice, nearly every farm in
the neighborhood would lose one or more
animals every spring, by some disease induc-
ed by want Of food and exposure to cold.
Swine died, and so did nearly oue-hall the
lambs and calves. Cows and working oxen
came out OF the winter poor aud weak, the
former giving but little milk after calying,

spring work on the farm. /. was wretched

all enterprising farmers. Feed your stock
