SOMETHING OF A FARMER. : Our
well known citizen Mr.. James
Thompson is kept busy these times
handling the wheat and barley from
his farms. He owns t'cehtynine lGO
acre farms, twenty one of which
are in this, the others in Cedar
county.-IIe has them all rented,
receiving an average of one third
of the yield and $3.50 per acre.
This season, they crop 1900 acres of
barley, the same of wheat, and 500
of corn. The yield of barley to the
acre was from Is to 33 bushels,
average 23t. The wheat varied
from to 20 bushels per acre, aver
age IA. The corn is yet to hear
from, but it will likely average 40
bushels to the acre, as much of the
land is new. Mr.. Thompson's
share of the crop at the figures
stated will be, say 10000 bushels
of barley, 1000 bushels of wheat,
and 900 bushels of corn; at pres
ent prices this foots up nice little
income of not less than twenty-five
thousand dollars, and as there is a
fair show for better prices it will
likely be more than that. Mr.. Tomp-
son is storing much of his grain.
Yesterday he could be seen on the
wagons handling sacks as if he was
not working for a man who had .
larger income than the President OF
the United States. - Davenport

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman who has been abroad
says that the cause of the superior
ity of English and continental NUT
ton over that in America, is in the
simple sentence, "they feed turnips."
The Practical Farmer endorses
this opinion, and insists that our
sheep breeders, to raise the best
mutton, must raise ruta bagas and
turnips.

Mr.. d. H. Crandall, of Pleasant

Mr.. d. H. Crandall, of Pleasant
Valley, made us call on Monday
and recitcd to us little of his inter
esting experience in raising bees.
Among other things he give us a
nut for authorities in bee matters to
crack. 1t is an assertion of all wri-
tiers on the bee that no hive will
tolerate more than one queen; but
he has found an exception. Last
spring three of his hives swarmed
at the same time and two of them
settled in the same box with their
queens, and all summer long have
worked tremendously together, the
queens passing and repassing each
other without the show of fight that
almost in variably characterizes
these important adjuncts to a swarm
under like circumstances. 1t is a
mystery he would like explained

THArcHED RooFs. 1t is yet
time to cut coarse slough grass for
matching, and we call attention to
this cheap and valuable mode of
covering stables and sheds for the
protection Of farm stock during
winter.
The grass should be cut in wet
places, where it grow four or FIVE
feet high, and as clear of weeds as
possible. Cut with a common
scythe and with hay fork gather
together in bundles and bind as in
case of small grain. Put ribs upon
your rafters Is to % inches apart,
according to the hight of your grass,
and commencing at the second rib
from the bottom, lay on your grass
in punches about the size of your
arm, and then lash this to the rib
with tarred cord, or with a hay
band. The tarred cord will be dur
able and not expensive, and will af.
ford the means for securing the
matching much better than can be
done by hay band, and the latter
will be perishable.
A matched roof affords warm
covering, and if the roof has toler.
ably steep pitch, will last twelve
years, and costs nothing in outlay in
cash, but the tarred cord. Build
ings for all farm stock, including
swine and poultry, may be covered
in this way to advantage.-lo'oo

Who Should Milk--Man or Woman

l am no fault finder, at least, |
have not yet attained that name
from my ncighbors, and person is
very likely to attain such if he is
one; but | do object to women milk
ing, not because they don't do it
right. but because it is.not woman's
place to be running after the
cows.
Women who attend to their house
hold duties rightly, have no time to
attend to cows, and / believe if they
have not the time to attend to them,
they should not milk them.
Cows will not do as well when
they have two or three persons
working with them as they will to
have but one; and hold that the
woman is not the person to feed the
cows, as all no doubt will admit,
neither is she the one to milk them.
| have heard some men say: "my
wife says man is too dirty to milk, "
and | didn't much wonder at it by
the husband. That is a very good
way to raise dirty boys. just let
them know that they can be too
dirty to milk, and they will soon get
out of it, for l know from experien-
&c, (and experience sometimes, such
as the COW lending me her foot,
kicking the milk all over me, when
had on my Sunday best,) there is

PATRONS OF 1IUsBANDRY.-Ase Sc

of the farmers, socially and pecuni.

never before has been an organiza

once understood, those who do not

certainly blind to their own inter

Tomato Figs.

Among the new articles capable
Of being cultivated and converted
into money on the farm, nothing to
us looks more plausible than the
making of tomato figs. The taste
for tomato, whether natural or
acquired one, is universally popular
and there is hardly a vegetable
which the public demand has re-
quired to be cooked and prepared
for present and premature use, in
such great variety Of ways as the
tomato and which retains so readily
it's peculiar flavor. The time will
probably come when large fields of
them will be cultivated expressly
for converting into figs, which we
consider far preferable to common
figs. They retain the tomato taste,
keep as well as the others, and could
as readily be exported or shipped
long distances. Large drying APP
paratus must of course be construc-
ted for the wholesale fig business,
and other arrangements to cores
pond; but we predict that those who
90 first into it will make great
deal of money. The following is
the recipe for making tomato figs
which we have known tried with
the best results: "Collect a lot OF
ripe tomatoes about one inch il
diameter, skin and stew them in tn.
usual manner, when done lay then
on dishes: fatten them slightly
and spread over them light layer
eff pulverized white or best brown
sugar; expose them to summers
sun or place them in a drying house
when as dry as fresh figs, pack il
old fig or small boxes, with suga
between each layer" If properl.
managed the difference cannot b.
detected from the veritable article
Notifications may be made by fur
Their experience; but the process i
very simple, and they could proba
bly, be put on the market and yiel'
good profit at half the price o
Smyrna figs-and are so much bet
ter that the latter would, to a grea
extent, be superseded. - Proctica
