Stick TO One THING.-There are many
farmers who do not stick to one thing long
enough to make it pay, and consequently
they lose in everything. At one time they
conclude to devote themselves to stock rails
ing Before they get fairly under good
headway in this, they change their L4inds,
and go back to raising grain. Some make a
speciality, for o time. Of Il certain crop
wheat. corn, or potatoes, Ior instance.
While they are following this speciality, the
crops may be small and the prices low, and
they turn to another just IN time 10 miss
large crops and good prices in what they left
The best farmers we have observed are
those who first find out what their soil is
hest ada pied 70 produce. They then turn
their energies in that direction aud go
straight forward in that line. 4 poor crop
does not discourage them. They keep on,
and are sure to be finally successful,
To illustrate our idea We once knew q
farmer who always made ii a point TO fatteh
from twenty-five to thirty hogs every year.
Let the price of pork lie high or low, he
every year had his lot Of hogs Of about the
usual number. lie took great pride in hay
ing the best in the neighborhood. Some
years, perhaps, he might have done better
by selling his corn instead of feeding it
Some years, perhaps, he might have done
better BY turning his whole attention to
some other speciality in farming. Blu we
always noticed this. that taking one year
with another for a long time, say ten years,
le made the hogs pay. He was a successful
farmer.
Another farmer near by, every year planted
potatoes. Sometimes his crop would fail
and sometimes when be had d good crop the
price would be low But he kept straight
forward.-Every spring he planted potatoes
The result in this case was the same as in the
other. Taking one year with another for a
considerable number of years, he made the
potato crop pay He, too, was a successful
farmer.
The farmer who would make his business
pay, must have a policy. and must adhere t.
it.-imericqn FGrmers' MaQa:ine.

says his COW gives all the milk that Is wanted
in 4 family Of eight persons, and from which
was made two hundred and sixty pounds Of
butter this year, gives the following as his
treatment. He says "If you desire to
get a large yield Of rich milk, give your
COW, three times a day, water slightly warmed,
slightly sailed, in which bran has been stirred
at the rate of one quart to two g~allone OF

necessary is an ordinary water pailful each
time, morning, noon. and night. -Four hun

HARDENING The MOULD BOARDS OF PLDUens.
A new method of hardening plonghs has
been discovered lately, which gives them the
hardness and temper Of steel. The iron
mould-board is heated and dipped into molten
IRON Il remains there ten seconds, when
the two surfaces become heated to q white
heat, while the centre is not heated through.
1t is then dipped into water, the surface comes
out harder than the highest tempered steel,
while the interior retains all the strength
and t%0ughness of iron. These mould boards
take the finest and hardest polish, and will,
at the same time, be tough enough to endure
any reasonable knocking about in a stony soil.

Cows THAT HoLp II MILK, Mr. johnson
says, can be cured if they will drink sour
milk. After drinking, and as soon as they
begin to lick the pail, they will give down
freely. lie has tried it with COWS that would
give about two-thIrds the proper quantity
them the milk to drink, and waits until they
begin to lick the pail, when he mas no trouble
in obtaining the remainder. He has tried

nothing to produce such an effect a. sour

MILcu Cows.-It will be profitable to feed
some roots to cows giving milk shorts and
some meal arc very good. 1t is not reasonable
to expect great quantities of rich milk from
COWS poorly fed. If turnips are fed let it he
done after milking. for then the milk will
have none of the flavor of that root. Corn
stalks and husks run through a hay cutter,
then steamed and sprinkled with shorts or
meal, are an excellent food for cows giving
milk.

While cattle from Maine furnish a very
important item in our beef markets here. the
Lewiston Journal says that Kentucky cattle
have been recently sent from Brighton to that
place for the reason that they would bring
more in Maine than in Boston.
The COMMISSIONS of Agriculture is having
the Agricultural Museum transferred to the

the most interesting places for strangers to

The Galveston CiriAan says that cattle over
