Fall Flowing.

There are several advantages in blowing at
this season. The soil, If left in rough, loose
state, is thoroughly exposed to the weather
for several months. In the repeated freezing
and thawing, it undergoes chemical changes,
and a larger supply Of food is made ayaia-
BILE for the crops. Then If manure is spread
broadcast and plowed under, it is more even.
ly distributed and incorporated with the sell,
and the next crop receives more benefit from
it. If blowing be deep, a multitude of grubs
are brought to the surface and destroyed.
The seeds of weeds also terminate when the
blowing is early enough, and thus another
enemy Of the crops is damaged by the frost.
The teams are now usually in the best condi-
ton. They have had full feed in the summer
pastures, and are strong for labor. In the
cold, wet springs to which we are liable, It Is
Of great advantage to have as much Of the
blowing done in the fall as possible. Then
no time is lost in waiting for the weather,
and the seed can be put in in due season.
Care must be taken not to expose land liable
to wash to currents Of water, as serious dam
age is often done to stubble land in this way.
Clay soils are most benefited by fall blowing.
Stubble land, 10 be as much exposed as pos.

Immense quantities Of poultry are sent to
market this month"; and Ignorance of the
proper way to do it, and sometimes desire
to ovorreacb, causes many serious LOSSES
First, let the birds fast twelve hours.
Foolish people often let them cat their I'll Of
corn before killing them, with the idea that
they will weigh more A tasted bird will
keep week fresh and plump if well handled,
while one that has been fed within a few
hours, viii be sure 10 spoil or become more
or less tainted. One tainted bird in case
will cut the price on the whole down several
cents per pound. So viii cue that is sorawny
and looks blue and skinny, and as if it had
been sick.
Second, Nil without disocating the neck
or making hole in the skin The operation
is simple When the fowls are caught, with
q lad to hold, tie the legs Of all, and lay
them down. When ready, hang them by the
legs, few at time, on long pins or nails
then with sharp knife passed into the throat,
cut once or twice across, letting the knife bear
on each side against the back bone This
will sever the great veins Of the neck, and
the bird will bleed without voting its fcath-
ors at ALL
Third, pick without scalding and while
the fowls arc still warm. Take great care
not TO tear or bruise the flesh in spots, by too
hard lingering TO get all the pin feathers out.
These may be removed with pair of pinccrs,
if great pains is taken. Draw out the tail
and wing feathers first and those of the back
last.
Fourth, hang all in a cool, airy place over
night, and pack in clean, strong cases Of a
size easily handled by one man, putting $50
to 200 pounds in one case. Take the cords
from the legs and lay the birds in uniform
rows, heads towards the sides Of the box and
breasts up \ very little clean wheat straw
may separate the layers, but it is best to use
nothing. Fill the boxes so full that it will
require a little pressure to force the covers
down. Address to trusty agent or commits
sion dealer. 1t would pay any one who mar
kets much poultry to have modest stencil
plate made to mark his boxes, and to read
thus; Poultry from A. b., well fattcned,
tasted twelve hours, and not scalded."

Specialties in Farming.


An exchange says that an extensive wool
grower in Vermont has become Disguised with
his business, owing to the low price of wool,
and has determined to get rid Of his sheep
and commence operations in new line by
building a cheese factory. This is but one
Of the many instances Of that impotence
which characterzes American farming. At
one time the current set in the direction of
hops, owing to the high ruling of that article
in the market. Everybody is hop mad, and
numbered acres are speedily added to the
area devoted to the production Of this com.
modify. If the seasons prove propitious
production largely exceeds consumption, pri-
ces fall, producers get Disguised, throw up
the business and rush into something else
which. for the time being, promises more re.
muncratiye results. This becomes overdone
in its turn and so on till the cycle of change
brings the parties back to the point whence
they started be it wool or hops. The manu-.
facture of cheese by the factory system, !,
now one Of the predominant hobbies at many
new points especially in the North and West
and is bound TO be put through, till, like tn,
Vermont wool grower many get disguised al
low rates, and turn to something that has
more promising look. 1t is this impatenc,
under adverse circumstances, causing frequent
changes Of farm production, which keeps tn,

Early History of Bennington.

4 correspondent Of the Bennington Banner
makes the following mention OF interesting Incl
dents connected with the early history of that
town
" Bennington furnishes the first instance
Of a criminal trial and public execution in
the State. And on this occasion Ethan AL
len made the first stump speech Of which we
have any record. p" Go home and come again
on such day, and you shall see somebody

desperate, important and victorious battles of
the American Revolution. Here was deliver

ever was made to incite soldier ave con-
quer or Molly Stark is widow" Here
stands the old Catamount Tavern" around
which probably cluster more incidents of his
torical interest than any other building now
standing In it is the little seventy mine
Council Room" ever memorable as the Sc
cret place where the " Council of Safety"
met during the Revolution, to arrange the
details Of war, the admission of Vermont
into the Union and our trying controversy
with New York. Over the threshold of is
southwest door, the British officers were in
troduced as prisoners of war. About thirty
feet from the same point, upon the sign post,
and from which the house derived its name,
was the stuffed skin Of catamount, with its
head and bareteeth towards the State of New
York, in defiance Of her arbitrary demands.
la this house was imprisoned and tried

convicted and hung Here was also admins
tered the D." beech seal" And from under
this roof on the morning of the day of con-
iict, a beloved son, buoyant in health, and
strong in his strength went out to battle, and on
the going down Of the sun, borne by his weep
ing comrades, was returned bleeding corpse
Says the stricken father, A" Show me the boy

hallowed spot, stands the residence of the

monumental stone, now standing, is the fol-
lowing inscription On this site stood the
Continental Store House, the rendezvous Of
the Green Mountain Boys, who fought the
glorious battle of Bennington, Aug, l6, l777.
