The ice business at Gardiner has grown to
large proportions and is constantly increasing
year by year. In addition to the companies
known as the Knickerbocker, Cheesman & Co.,
McCausiand s Co., and Kennebec Land and
Lumber companies, other companies have been
formed as the ice trade is being expanded.
Probably the ice from this river is far supe-
rior in many points to that secured in almost
any other portion of the country. The ice
dealers in Pennsylvania say that the stock
which they will lay in this winter must neeessa-
rily be very scant, as the ice upon which they
mainly relied has coolly withdrawn from the
streams; therefore the ice dealers at Gardi
ner besides filling their ice houses, contem-
plate stacking large lot in the open air,
covering it with a rough roof This is an
open winter South, and the ice crop will be
short, and an unusual quantity of this cooling
luxury must come from Maine. The ice thus
far has been of very poor quality this winter,
and the present weather indicates no change in
that direction.

Farmers Clubs in summer.

During the winter the reports from these
associations have occupied considerable space
in our columns, and, Judging from the many
expressions Of satisfaction which have come
to US through our correspondence, no part oi
our paper has been more attentiyely read
Not only this, but many of the articles have
been copied by the leading agricultural pa
pers of the country and thus the doings Of a
Farmers Club in some corner Of our noble
State, reported through our columns, is made
to interest farmers in remote States, and pos
sibly give hints, the Improvement Of which
may be Of great benefit to them Since No.
yember last, the organization Of sixty-two
Farmers Clubs has been reported to us.
Now that the long evenings are passed, and
the active individual work Of members upon
their own farms has commenced, we suppose
the regular meetings for discussion will be
discontinued until another fall But in the
mean time the work Of the members for the
general good of the Club, and the mutual adj
vantage Of its members should not cease. 1t
should, in fact, Just commence. Each mem-
Der should this season undertake some cxper-
ment or put in operation some train Of inyes-
tigation or thought for determining some dis
puted opinion, or more firmly establishing
some partially accepted theory result Of
which should be reported to the club at the
commencement of its next winter. Bear this
in mind apd when you begin your seasons
labors, plan some experiment for the benefit
or the Farmers Club. Thus although the
meetings for discussion may be suspended
during the summer the period may be one Of
real work for the Club, inasmuch as the ox-
periments and investigations made are such
as cannot be performed in the winter, and
will furnish material about which to talk next
winter.

II is the practice Of some to put their mich

winter, but to keep it growing, the young
stock through it, and the milch cows to hold
their own if in good condition in the fall,
making allowance in the treatment and feed
for the wants Of the fctus. Do not weaken
your COW, when of all times, at parturition,
she most needs her strength. If Fat, if quite

as to thin down little without any material

hand our cows are not strong enough; no
allowance is made for the two-od burden
they are to carry--thomseves and their calves
and they thus suffer materially, though they
seem to DO less so from their rotundity Here
needs attention, so that the strength both Of
the fntus and the COW are maintained, or both
will show the result-the calf in It's puny and
weakened condition, the COW in the less guam

Of that milk. And then, the COW in a weak,
reduced condition, it will be difficult from the
strain Of milk upon her system and the low,
weak state both Of digestion (which now slack

point Of safety and profit. Begin now; feed

the most is hay--timothy and clover, and if
available, orchard grass. These mixed, or

and cured well, especially if raised on dry
land, are all that is needed. They will keep
the bowels in prime order-a prime consdera-

know further that it is the natural food Of the

those use such food as will strengthen rather
than fatten We have indicated some of it,

Good Feed for Good Batter.


once bought dairy Of twenty tubs Of
butter, all made from the same cows the
same season and by the same person.
Some eight tubs were good, sound, yellow
butter; some eight more Of it was very light
colored and soft with disagrecable flavor I;
some four tubs shaded down from yellow to
white, and the color the index Of quality.
Careful investigation developed the fact, that
the good butter was made from good grass
feed and the poor, later in the season, when
the grass had failed from drought, and the
COWS lived upon briars aud leaves. A man
changed the feed Of his cows from corn meal
and hay TO potatoes and hay it lossened the
quantity Of butter, and the color was lighter.
Hence the importance Of good feed 1t is
profitable to feed corn meal at all times ex-
cepting when grass is new aud plenty, and ii
is not lost then. A piece Of land five rods by
two, to each COW, sowod with southern corn,
will supply the deficiency of the pastures in
the last Of the season for two or three months,
and save the mowings more than the cost -

To Raise Giant Asparagus.

A writer in one of the early volumes Of
the Horticulturist Mr.. Downing, we belieye)
tells how to grow common asparagus, so that
it will always rival any giant production.
He says Every one who has seen my
beds, has begged me for the seed, thinking it
a new sort, but have pointed to the manure
heap the farmers best bank, and told them
the secret all lay there. The seed was only
such as might be had in every garden About
the LIST of November, as soon as the frost has
well blackened the asparagus top, take a
scythe, and NOW all close down to the surface
of the bed let it lie day or two, then set
fire TO the heap of stalks burn it to ashes,
and spread the ashes over the bed. | then
90 to my barnyard; | take load Of clean,
fresh stable manure, and add thereto half a
bushel of hen dung, turning over and mixing
the whole together throughout. This makes a
pretty powerful compost. apply one such
load to every twenty feet in length Of my
asparagus beds, which are six feet wide. With
strong three.pronged spud or fork, | dig
this dressing under. The whole is now left
for the winter. In the spring, as early as
possible, l turn the top of the bed over light
ly, once more. Now as the asparagus grows
naturally on the side Of the ocean, and loves
salt water, | give it an annual supply Of its
iavorite condiment. cover the surface Of
the bed about quarter Of an inch thick with
fine packing salt it is not too much Al
the spring rains come down. it gradually dis
solves. Not weed will appear during the
whole season. Everything else, pig-weed
chick-weed, purslane, all refuse to grow on
the top of my briny asparagus beds. But it
would do your eyes good, to see the strong
stout, tender stalks of the vegetable itself
pushing through the surface early in the sea

that they are often as large round as my hoe
handle, and as tender and succulent rs any

is given to my bed every year"
