BEST FEED FOR FATTENING CATTLE.-A farmer
in fattening cattle, should bear in mind that it
does not pay to feed grain to animals, that do
not take on flesh rapidly, and that his main OBJ
ject should be to get the most out of his fodder
as possible if his stock is poor, and will not
take on flesh rapidly, it would be far more profit
able to sell them off, and buy better animals
The following plan is recommended in fattening
cattle, by an old stock-breeder: Commence with
as much food as they can bear at first, and then
increase. The great fault with farmers is that
they do not feed heavy enough. In feeding
twelve quarts of meal, the last four quarts are
worth twice as much as the first four for fatten-
ing purposes. Some farmers complain that they
do not get pay for what grain they feed out but
it is only those who feed light, that thus COM
plain whether the animal is to be fed long or
short time, it should have heavy feeding. Corn
meal is considered the most profitable; those who
are the most successful and make the business of
fattening cattle the most profitable, are those
who feed meal largely. If a farmer has potatoes
or other roots, it is well enough to feed those in
part but farmer will do better to exchange
some of his roots for corn than to feed roots al
together. 1t is important to feed regularly but
not too often, as the stock will eat and lie down
and ruminate.

KEEPING WINTER APPLEs.-Wiih other modes
of saving apples all winter and far into the
spring, we have more than once suggested that
generally adopted in New England, New York
and the northwestern States, which is to pick
them carefully from the trees, sort them out and
put them in dry -four casks, pressing them down
closely and heading them up. They should be
allowed to stand under shed until cold weather
sets in and then be removed TO dry cellar or
some place where they will not freeze. Care
must be taken that none but perfect fruit is
barreed We saw the other day one of our best
farmers of Montgomery county putting up his
apples 10 this manner, and he told US that they
frequently kept until early hay making = Ger

How Coon farmers SAVE MoNEY.-They
take good papers and read them.
They keep account of farm operations.
They do not leave their implements scattered
over the farm, exposed to snow, rain and heat
They repair their tools and building at 9
proper time; and do not suffer a subsequent
threefold expenditure of time and money. They
use their money judiciously, and they do moi
attend auction sales to purchase all kinds o.
trumpery because it is cheap.
They see that their fences are well repaired
and that their cattle are not grazing in the
meadows, or grain fields, or orchards.
They do not refuse to make correct expert
ments in small way of many new things.
They plant their fruit trees we'll, care fol
them and of course get good crops.
They practice economy by giving their stock
good shelter during the winter; also good food
taking all that is unsound, half rotten oil
mouldly out.
They do not keep tribes of cats, or snarling
dogs around their premises who eat more in g
month than they are worth in a whole lifetime
Lastly, they read the advertisements, know
what is going on, and frequently save money
by it.
Successful farming is made by attention tc
little things. The farmer who does his best
earns his money with best appreciation, and
uses it with best results. Such men are the
salt of the earth.

it to be blood disease, from my observation Of

it very successfully in similar manner to my
treatment of diphtheria in mankind.

CRoss-CUT SAws.-Ten years experience in the
use of cross-cut saws, has proved to me that l
have been working under many Disadvantages
until recently. Ny wish is for all to know the
advantage of a plan which pursue Take a
new saw which has never been set, place it be-
tween two boards, cut to fit the saw, clamp it
tight on a bench or in vice; take an iron
wedge file one corner to suit the set of the tooth
when finished, then take small hammer, hold
the wedgewith the left hand, and strike the tooth
with the hammer until the right place, then turn
the wedge on the opposite side, and on the next
tooth, and set it in the same way now then
you reach the third and most important tooth in
the saw-leave it perfectly straight; pass on to
the fourth tooth, set it as you did the 6rst turn
the wedge, set fifth the other way leave sixth
tooth straight; and so on until you finish.
Now take your file, dress the two teeth as You
did the common saw; and the third file perfectly
straight aud sqnare-leaving it one-twentieth
part of an inch shorter than the others. Con-
tinue in that way until you finish, and you will
find it will cut twice as fast as the old way prac-
,iced by most farmers -Souhern CaltivatOr.

To which he replied in the following clear

A plebscite is a thing Only few felIers

of human events, the polity Of a govern
menl, in its transcendental relations with
the political economies Of Stale, becomes
imbued with the spectral analysis of abnor-

ity of institutions al once detrimental and
