Marketing Grain.

We have occasional inquiries as to the
propriety Of disposing of grain as soon as
ready for market, or Of holding for rise
later in the season We cannot with
propriety advise in matter on which SO
many men have widely different ideas,
yet there are some circumstances in
which the farmer may find himself in
doubt as to which course should be fol-
lowed, and make a mans interest ap-
parent. First. A farmer should go to
market without loss of time when other
parties have an interest in his crop. If
the merchant has been promised part
of the proceeds, it is only strict honesty
to fulfil thepromise at the earliest day.
Second. 1t is never wise for farmer to
borrow money rather than sell his crop.
He will afterwards keenly regret this
course The anxiety Of the speculator
will consume him, and even should he
succeed in gaining an advance, the cost
of interest will doubtless eat il up.
If farmer has money in hand and
grain in his barn, he is independent Of
contingencies, and can do as he pleases
but for all others, we think the sooner
they go to market the better.--Hearth
and Home.

Fattening Cattle.

Mr.. Bella S. Hartings, who is one of
the leading drovers from Vermont, in sup
plying the Boston market, gave his ex-
.perience and observation in relation to
tattening stock, at late meeting of the
Caledonia County Farmers Club
He said the main object of the farmer
was to get the most out of his fodder
1t does not pay to feed grain to a poor
creature, one that does not take on flesh
rapidly Farmers will do better to dis
pose of such stock for what it will bring,
and procure animals of good style. He
believed that one-half of the grain fed
was wasted by not being fed to good cat
tie, Another important point is, farmers
do not feed heavy enough. He would
commence with as much feed as they
would bear first, and then increase. In
feeding twelve quarts of meal, the last
four quarts are worth twice as much as
the first four for fattening purposes, Some
farmers complain that they do not get
pay for the grain they feed out, but he
noticed that it was only those that fed
light that thus complained. Whether
the animal was to be fed long or short
time, he would recommend heavy feed
ing Mr.. Hastings said he knew nothing
better than corn meal. The cob is not
worth much, if anything. Those persons
of whom he purchased fat stock, who were
the most successful, and made it most
profitable, were those who fed meal large
ly. If farmer has potatoes or other
roots, it is we'll enough to feed those in
part, but farmer will do better to ex-
change some of his roots for corn, than to
feed roots altogether. 1t is important to
feed regularly and not too often, as the
stock will eat and lie down and ruminate.
1t is better to feed cattle but three times
a day, and sheep but once.

Peaches Without Stones.

An agriculturist has, it is said tried
with success the following method of
making peaches grow without stones !:
Turn the tops Of the trees down, cut
off the ends, stick them into the ground,
and fasten them so with sticks; in year
or two these tops will take root, and when
rooted cut off the branches connecting
these reversed and rooted branches with
the tree proper, and this reversed peach
tree will produce fine peaches without
stones" The same experiment may be
tried with plums, cherries, and currants.

Peach Bntter.

Pare ripe peaches and put them in
preserving kettle, with sufficient water to
boil until soft; then sift through colan-
der, removing the stones. To each quart
Of peach put one and a half pounds Of
sugar, and boil very slowly one hour
Stir often and do not let it burn Put in
stone or glass jars, and Keep in cool
place. Plums are very nice prepared in
the same way. r.,H.a
