A HEAVY FLEECE.

L. S. IL E w. Peet, of Cornwall sheareG
a fleece from their two year old ram, Petro-
ieum, May LIST, which weighed % lbs. and 4
annaas. oil Of which gov IN ,vo. s...I
six hours
This fact is highly spoken of by the Mid
dlebury Register, but we would like to in
quire of the owner of this remarkable fleece
of ,Chat it is composed? As it is not men
toned in the account, please give the clean
amount of tr0ol Gentlemen fifteen OF
twenty pounds more or less of extraneous
matter, Is of no consequence whatever when
come to the real value of the thing
When men give the amount of wool sheared
from their sheep, the public will know a
good deal better how to Judge of their mer-
its, than by these heavy fleeces, composed of
a little wool, and more of something else.
HEAVY HORSES.
y. III, Watson, of this State, recently sold
Massachusetts man, a four year old horse,
weighing 1000 lbs for 500, almost enough
TO buy small farm. Such horses are worth
having, at least to sell, The weight is signi-
fcant, and would imply that are as
a general thing, falling little behind in the
particular, however excellent they may be in
other respects. Would it not be well to in
crease the size of a class for certain purposes
BLOOD WILL TELL.
A W. Griswold, of Morrisville, has sold
a two and one half years old short horn bull
for $500. Vermonters it appears as well as
other folks learning the value of full
blood stock How much more did it cost to
raise this animal than one that would only
have sold for $50? This is kind of i'm
provement that pays, according to the looks
of the figures, and it does not end here.
AN ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF FEEDING MEAL TO
COWS.
| heard farmer say the other day that he
fed farrow COW last winter eight quarts of
corn and cob meal day, and made tub of
butter from her in two months, selling the
same for S2l, leaving balance over cost of
grain of some $40, at the same time getting
the cow in a condition to be sold for beef.
He also says that to get the value of meal we
must feed high, and according to his state
ment it certainly pays. Any farmer can
readily test the matter for himself and is
certainly worthy of trial.
The figures on all but the last item, We're
taken from the MESSENGER for May 81, as
will be seen upon reference. t.

The Cur WoRs.-A Georgia farmer writes
to the Practical Farmer, of Philadelphia, on
the cut worm, as follows
In your January number OF this year, is
an article on the effect of fall blowing on the
eggs of the cut worm. My remedy, or rath-
er preventive against that destructive pest,
which 1 have used with satisfactory success,
is follows: Dissolve from one and half to
two ounces of copperas in an ordinary sized
pail (or bucket) full of water. Pour on the
planting corn enough Of the solution to cover
it and two or three inches over, to allow for
the swelling of the grain. Let it remain 80
to AZ hours; plant without letting the grain
become dry. If the weather should prove
unfavorable for planting at the end of As
hours, it may remain in the solution longer
without risk or injury. | have plant
ed with perfect success, corn that had been
immersed nine days. | have used this pre-
ventiye for many years, and have no hesita-
ton in saying that the farmer who tries 1t
once will never omit it afterwards.

Sow Corn FOR FoDDER.-Dairymen should
remember that sowed corn, as a fall feed for
,nilnh COWS has rannirad tho 0nuorsmenG OF
the majority of the profession for years. 1t
is grown with the greatest case, and yields
most profusely. 1t is rich, succulent, and
consequently just the thing for cows at the
time when pastures begin to fail in the fall
1t may be sown either broadcast or in drills
The common varieties are usually sown, but
at the Belvidere Convention sweet corn was
very highly spoken of. There is no doubt it
yields the richest food. The next best is proba-
bly, some variety of the flint corn. Cut and
well cure1 before frost, there is no better
winter fodder, and there is nothing that can
be produced more protitably. All kinds of
stock will eat it with avidity. A dairy farm
at the east witho ut its patch of sowed corn
is an exception. Western dairymen will find
full as much need for fall feed, and we know
of nothing better to recommend to their
notice. Sow from two to three bushels of
corn per acre, if broadcast, and cover with
the cultivator.-Prdrie Farmer.

MAPLE SUGAR.-According to the last
United States census, about forty million
pounds are made in the whole country, and
one and half million gallons of syrup.
The n. e. States, New York, Michigan and
Ohio, make the most. Nearly one-half OF
the whole quantity is made in New York and
Vermont. The value of this product at the
present market prices is not far from eight
millions of dollars. There is no good reason
why more system should not be introduced
in this industry and the business be greatly
extended. Why should not better varieties
of the sugar maple be sought out and be
multiplied by nurserymen, and orchards be
planted on a large scale? There is no dan
ger of glut in the sugar market, and if the
product were multiplied ten fold the price
wauld still be remunerative The tree will
flourish in elevated positions and on rocky
land quite enough for tillage, and its cultiya-
ton requires very little care.

but now it was E7 los, AMI he had no doubt
the price of decorticated cotton cake would
90 as high as 80 les per ton.
In some parts of the world, Is in the
Levant, the seeds Of cotton are eaten as
human food, and this would seem to show
that it contained highly nutritious qualities.
Other speakers took part in the discussion,
concurring in opinion that defective mechan-
ical condition, arising from imperfect modes
of preparation, was the only drawback to its
use.
The conclusion was that it was most
valuable feeding substance, the cheapest, at
the present time, in the market, and this
agrees with the opinions of practical feeders
in this country.

FRIED HALIBUT.-Place in your fry kettle
half dozen slices of fat pork fry to a
brown, then remove them to deep dish
add to the fat three tablespoonfuls of fresh
lard, when boiling hot put in your halibut,
which should be cut in pieces about three
inches square, and dipped into sifted meal ;
sprinkle over it little salt. Fry good
brown After the fish is all fried lit may be
necessary to add more lard if it is a large
one,) put it in the dish with the slices of
pork, pour the boiling fat over it, and add
one tablespoonful of boiling water cover
with plate tightly, and stand in the oven
for twenty minutes.

GRADE JERsEYs.-Ellis Wood, of North
Pomtret, Vt, has two old cows and one two
year old, all Jersey grades, from the milk of
which, last year, $50 pounds of butter were
made. Three calves were raised also on their
milk and one was fatted, and the milk and
cream needed by family of five persons used
and not made to butter. These Jerseys were
taken to Pomfret by John Page.
High Jersey grades will always show the
characteristics of the breed to which they
owe their qualities. They have gained in
popular favor and reputation wherever their
value has become known Pioughman.

HINTS TO PoULTERERs.-Securey yourselves
by keeping no more stock than you can feed
and care for in the best manner, and make
choice of the best stock.
Feed your grain or vegetables hot.
Be sure the fowls have gravel and shells,
and the shells half burnt are better than
raw One hundred fowls consume a peck
Il week.
Feed meat if possible, it being natural.
Choose perfect eggs for breeding purposes.
Let your hands be free from grease
while handling eggs to be set. An egg
besmeared with broken yolk will not hatch
Put newspaper in the bottom of the nest
designed for setting eggs; chaff or fine straw
on top.
Brahma chickens need but little care ;
Dorkings more; Bolton or Creole most.
Smear the sides and breast of the old
mother with oil, composed of half whale and
half petroleum do this the first night after
leaving the nest. This is preventive for
all the ills chickens are heir to-
Give clean water and small-sized grain,
excepting rye

ON mended both as preventive and cure of
chicken cholera, by the Prairie Farmer.
It is said that handful of oil meal in a
hill of corn, will occupy the cut worms, till
the kernel is decayed, and no longer liable
to be injured by them. AS a manure it is
worth about as much as guano, so that where
cut worms abound, it will pay to use it free
ly.
Strawberries are sold in California by the
pound. The Farmer of April %, says, hun
dreds of pounds of them have been daily
brought in during the past week, and thou
sands of pounds will be daily brought in dur
ing the coming week The price for the
early berries was fifty cents per ID.
Lewis F. Allen, in his American Cattle,
estimates the number of neat cattle in the
United States at %, 145 ,24O, worth $780,
O5I, 77S, and he very pertinently asks if an
interest of such magnitude is not worthy of
more care and study than we have hitherto
given it.
Grafton and Coos counties, N. H., have at
least forty starch mills, twenty mills in each
county Each of these mills turns out fifty
tons of prime starch annually, worth $3.50
per ton. Five hundred thousand bushels of
potatoes are annually manufactured into 1000
tons of starch, which cell for the round sum
of $500 900.
SOUP FOR AN INvALIp.-Cut in small pie
ces one pound of beef, mutton, or part of
both; boil it gently in two quarts of water,
take off the ecum, and when reduced to
pint, strain 1T. Season with little salt, and
take teacupful at time.
