The st. Adams Butter Market.

The Nec ENGLAND Homestead, (which has
lately commenced an issue from Springfield
Mass, in weekly numbers Of eight large six
column pages, and is edited with much ability
and taet,) contains an account of the butter
trade at St Adams, w. which point has come
to be the chief outlet of a large and almost
unequaled dairying region
1.-The sales for single day amount to from
$4,000 to $4,000, and for a year on both
butter and cheese, not less than million and
a half dollars. For seventeen years. since the
railroad was opened through to Boston, there
have been shipped from st. Albaus to Boston,
3S,94l, 1913 pounds of butter, and lS,435 $40
pounds of cheese. These amounts, reckoning
the average price of butter at 30 cents, and
cheese at II, which we think is a low figure
brought, in round numbers, fourteen million
dollars. Nearly all Of this is the product Of
Franklin county alone, though, before the re-
ciprocity treaty was abrogated in 1865, some
of it came from the towns in Canada, near the
border"
Tuesday Of each week is the special market
day, when the village is fairly crowded with
buyers and sellers.
The butter is all put up in spruce irkins
Of 30 lbs. each, and is shipped in ice cars
Tuesday afternoon for Boston. At White
River Village, near White River Junction,
the ice is renewed and then the train proceeds
to its destination, arriving Wedncsday-th
butter in as good condition as when it left
Vermont. The charge for shipping is 20
cents per hundred from St. Adams to Boston,
and one-thrd that price added for ice, making
the entire cost about one cent per pound"
The table Of shipments given for seventeen
years past, illustrates the growth and changes

Time for Mulching.

We believe in mulching as much as we be-
licve in good cultivation, for it is part Of il;
but there is a time for benefit to he derived
in the greatest degree from both. Light,
heat, air and moisture are as essential to the
growth Of roots below ground as they are to
that Of leaf and twig above; but if the mulch
is pa upon the ground early in spring the di-
rect action Of these elements is lost, growth is
retarded until heat has approached from o
side connection, aud it is then continued often
late in the season, resulting in an immature,
unripe condition OF the plant We have
found our best results to come from stirring
the soil frequently until the summer heat. then
apply our mulch, removing it again early ia
October and again applying it as SOON as the
ground is well frozen. BY this course We
give our roots IN the spring the benefit ofthe
elements they need to make perfect growth
we keep the powerful rays Of the mid-ummc,
sun away and thus give them a longer time e.

autumn the action Of the atmosphere to enu.

WHY Yomg Mon LenNn Tho Enrni.

A correspondent of the New England Far.
mer says: There has been considerable SAID
in the Farmer about young men leaving the
farm, and engaging in other pursuits. One
Of your correspondents appears to think it is
owing to the girls leaving their homes and
going to work in the mills, etc. Bat Idonot
thinS that is the only reason Many farmers
Will not take an agricultural paper for their
children 20 read, because it costs so much.
Then, when their boys are old enough, they
are sent to some school where almost every.
thing is taught but aknowledpe of Agriculture
The result Of such an education Is th,t thew
return home, but not to work on the farm
No, they have got Just enough of the .high
school" to raise them above that. So they
leave the farm for some more genteel employ
ment, and the old gentleman has to lament
that none Of his sons will stay at home to help
him carry on the farm, and he blames them
instead of himself for the result. Now il he
had taken two or three agricultural journals.
and Interested his sons in farming before they
left home to attend school, they might have
improved their opportunities in such way
as to have increased instead of DESTROYING their
interest in agriculture, which after all is as
noble calling as any young man can engage
in. Adopt this course and believe fewer
parents would be left alone in their old age.
Some may say all this is the dream Of boy
lsh Imagination, but am personally knowing
to cases similar to those to which have
alluded.

The best way to commend an improvement
to farmers, is to publish from time to time
the results Of experiments. With this view
we give the following statements of Mr. b.
\. Avery Of Syracuse, who made his first
trial of cooking food last winter He slys

1t will be noted here that Mr.. Avery fed
only pea meal, probably about four pounds to
COW per day. in addition to hay, and that
they gained in flesh so as to fit them for the
butcher, while giving milk He does not
state the effect upon the quantity of milk
but it would, no doubt, have been favorable.
Mr. Avery's boiler is large enough for the
largest stock, and his apparatus much more
expensive than needed for a small number of
animals. \ steam apparatus for 80 or 80
cows or other stock, may be got up complete
for about one hundred dollars. The saving

Raising BuckWbeat.

This crop is regarded by many as a profita.
BILE one on land designed for winter wheat, in
a two-told way-as a fertilizer in retaining
moisture, in attracting and conveying to the
soil the manurial agencies floating in the at
mosphere, and, at the same time, furnishing,
as result, Il welcome portion of bread ma
terial for family consumption without detriment

It Is termed, in iallowed state, it is made to
furnish an extra crop counted as so much

Hay Milking.

/ happening to hayea better practical knowledge
OF hay making, to begin with the hay season.
preaching as earnestly as they can at every
opportunity, better principles, until radical
reform in much Of our hay making practice
shall have been achieved As clover usually
comes first in the routine Of hay baking. and
the season for putting mowers Geld is close
at hand, let us bear in mind that the best stand
ing condition of clover is when the plant itself
is fully developed and the heads in full but
early bloom, before any considerable portion
of them have assumed the slightest tiuge of
brown. Then instead of being roasted, broil-
ed and baked in the scorching sun until it is
black as Japan tea, as is too frequently the
case with clover hay, the best plan is to cut it
after the dew is off in the morning, cure, spread
out in the swarth as much as can be done in
five or six hours of clear, drying weather, then
"a hours more in small cocks, sheltered from
dew and RAIN aud haul in and put away with
the leaves still green, wlted but not in the
least crisped or blackened by the sun The
other grasses are best cut when the stalks and
foliage have attained full growth, and the seeds
are entirely developed, but still in milky
state. Like clover they should be cooked at
ter few hours sun curing, finished off in the
cock, cured but not in the least crsped, and
hauled in while still green in color, elastic and
possessed of all the inviting aroma of new
mown hay" If the foundations of BAYS and
stacks are made well up, and free from the
ground affordiug free ventilation underneath,
and then in stacking and slowing away lay
er of clean, dry straw, say six inches in depth,
is placed every two feet between the layers of
hay, there will be no danger of clover or any
other kind of grass heating, moulding or rot
ting though put away great deal greener
than is the general practice and infinitely bet
ter hay will be the result

Growing Cabbage.

An experienced gardener recently informed
the editor of the Utica Herald that he raised
cabbages without the trouble of transplantine
from seed bed. The ground to be occupied
is prepared in the best manner, and the rows
properly marked. The seed is scattered along
the drills, and when the plants show pretty
well the surplus ones are removed Those re-
naming grow much more vigorously than
transplanted ones and mature earlier and more
evenly than when set out in the old way.
ms plan though requiring more seed and
culture of the soil than the usual one, may be
worthy of trial.

ManIIrinw Trees.

Some farmers still practice the old plan oil
putting little heap Of manure close around
the trunks Of their fruit trees, instead of
spreading IT near the trees aud mixing il thor.
oughly with the soil, so that the ibrous root,
can reach it. But such farmers seldom read
agricultural papers, and many of them are
opposed to book farming" Now if they
would consider the subject little, even with.
Out reading the papers, they would see that il
stands TO reason that the tree gets its nour-
lshment through the snail roots,--rootlets,
hbrous roots,-whose bark is tender and
spongy, and not through the thick, hard,
woody bark Of the roots near the trunk.
These rootlets arc most numerous at a dis.
lance Of four to ten feet from the tree. &C.
cording to its size. If the manure is spread
over that space in the fall, and mixed with
the soil with the harrow, or better, with the
plow, the frost, aud winter rains will 50 mod
ify its iertilizing properties, and wash them
into the subsoil, that they will be readily ap.
propriated to the growth Of the tree.
