Good cows have three important qualities,
viz. They give rich milk, yield it in large,
quantities, aud hold out well throughout the
year, Though by nature there is great DIFF
ference in cows, still, perhaps as much depends
on their treatment as on their original consti.
buttons. The most profitable aud desirable cow
for the dairy is not always the one which, for
a short time, or on highly stimulating or con.
centrated food may yield the most milk or
butter, or both. 1t is not the quantity given,
but the quantity prodtably given, which deter
mines the value; and this involves not only the
question of feeding and management, but the
number Of weeks in the year during which the
COW may continue to produce. II is more the
quantity produced in twelve months, than in
any one or two weeks, which involves the pro.
fit, a good mixer alone does not alone con.
stitute good COW neither does good breed.
or, nor good feeder 1t is these three dual.
tiles combined that make the cow Give us q
cow that is good for milk, quality as well as
quantity considered, that when properly bred
to good bulls, will invariably produce good
calves, and one that when dried of her milk
with proper care aud attention, takes on flesh
rapidly and evenly--and for one we rest, for
while at least, satisfied e Exchange.

At what time shall We cut corn, and in
what manner Shall we cut at the ground,
top, or not cut at all These are questions
still they should be thoroughly understood by
all growers am aware that many Eastern
growers practice topping; and if this is the
best method, we should all practice it. Com
tending that it is not, | will present few
thoughts in favor Of cutting at the ground
Leaves are the lungs of plants, and none can
be removed while the crop is maturing, more
particularly while ripening without decreas-
ING the amount Of such crop. At the time
the topping is usually done the leaves rcmov-
ed arc the ones most essential to growth, and
you prevent the corn from receiving the nu-
trment that it would have derived from them
had they not been severed from the stalk
In cutting corn we have in view the pres.
eryation of the fodder for feeding purposes
to be of much value it must be cut previous
to frost; cut at the proper time and well
saved, they make excellent feed but cut af-
ter they have become dry and hard, or frost
bitten, they are worthless believe that it
is an accepted fact that wheat cut as soon as
the kernel becomes hard, and while the straw
is still green, properly shocked, improves in
the shock, will make better quality Of -four
and more of it than if allowed to stand until
the straw is dead ripe and | have no doubt
but what corn cut at the ground before it is
fully ripe shocked well, will be of better
quality than if allowed to stand until the
stalk has become dry for if cut at such time,
the circulation Of sap continues until the stalk
becomes dried and the corn ripens and i'm
proves in the shock whereas in topping you
entirely remove that portion Of the stalk most
needed in the ripening process. There is GER
tainly a certain time at which corn can be
cut when the shrnkage in the corn will bear
no comparison to the loss of fodder if allowed
to stand longer at Just what stage that is,
each must Judge for himself My rule is
when the corn is all well glazed and rather
more than half the ears begin to turn vel
low, cut and put up IN small shocks and ai
the corn is sufficiently cured to crib, husk
binding the fodder securely aud setting nine
shocks Of corn in one fodder Boston CUii

Set up and bind three or four bundles to the

Various causes are assigned for the recent
rise in wool, In reference to it the New
York San says In the first place, the price
OF wool has been exceedingly low for several
years past, so that it has not been profitable
IN this country to produce it. Hence our
farmers have, to large extent, sold off their
sheep and raised hogs instead. The result
has been that in 1869 the wool clip was 20
per cent. less than in 1868, and in 1870 20
per cent. less than in 1869. This alone might
not have materially affected the price, but
other things just now came in to assist ii.
The recent war in Europe created an ex.
traordinary demand for soldiers clothing and
rapid consumption Of it by wear while al
the same time the withdrawal of so many
men from labor diminished the production Of
wool, the sheep being slaughtered for food
instead Of being kept to shear.

Vermont Butter.

Fault is found in Boston market with much
OF the Vermont butter because il is too salt
Our dairymen should remember this, thereby
making their productions better adapted 70
the taste Of their customers, whose approval
they should earnestly aim to obtain. Too often
small Jumps of salt are found in the butter,
which is anything but agreeable, giving the
character Of the article any other name than
that of gilt edged Salt should be thoroughly
powdered and thoroughly worked through and
through the butter, that all parts may be
sailed alike, using none but the best quality,
and just enough 10 make it palatable, aud to
insure its safe keeping if need be. Our farm.
ers must see to it il they would keep the
market, and thus promote their own interest

While we are firm believer, in the ccouo-
my and effectiveness Of deep drains, even in
heavy clay soils, we have seen enough to con-
vince Us that those who, FROM lack Of means
or time, or account of am insufficient outlet,
find that deep draining is impractcabe, will
still dud it to their material advantage to
make shallow drains wherever the necessity
for drainage is apparent The first require
meut Of all is to get rid of the water that
stands on the surface OF the soil for this
brings absolute death to all vegetation A
simple pillow iurrow, to remove the water that
accumulates in depression Of the surface,
will often produce more beneficial effects than
the same amount of labor applied in any other
way. Next TO surface water comes a sort OF
surface springiuess, superficial ooze, or water
retained near the surface by dense hardpar
soil. Frequently this water collects in ba
sins Of the subsoil, aud % shallow under drail
will effect its removal.

A NOBLE SACRIFICE
The Three Friends of yaax yilaine
AN EPISODE OF THE LATE WAR.

In the month of July of this last fate
ful year, there did not exist more tran
quill, sunny spot in all France than the
little village Of Yaux Vilaiue. Very ru.
raj and primitive it was, aud the echoes
from the great tumultuous world withou,
came few and faint among tho green
fields aud purple vineyards, where the
birds sang SO mcrrily and the summei
winds sighed SO softly through the rust.

1t possessed several substantial farm.
houses among its humblcst cottages, aud
a pretty little church, served by an old
cure, who, in his broad hat and black
sutdne, walked bro2iary in haud from
house to house, and was veritable faith
or and friend to every man, woman and
child in the place. Tho population was
entirely agricultural and the maguates
of the village were few thriving farm
ers, who sent their sons to the cure for n
few hours daily teaching, which gave
them some intellectual advantages above
the rest of the jemtcsse Of Yaux VII

Among these farmers sons were three
young MEN about the same ago. who
were for some years under the good
priests tuition, aud who had ut that pc
riod Of their boyhood contracted friend

served intact through the years that had
