How Much Work Horse Can Do.

At former meeting of the Brit
ish Association in Dublin, Mr.. Chas.
Bianconi, of Cashel, read paper
relative to his extensive car estab-
lishment, after which a gentleman
stated that at Pickford's, the great
English carriers, they could not
work a horse economically more
than ten miles a day, and wished to
hear Mr.. Bianconi's opinion on the
subject. Mr.. Bianconi stated, he
found by experience he could better
work horse eight miles day for
six days in the week, than six miles
a day for seven days in the week.
By not working on Sunday he eff
fected saving of - per cent.
Mr.. Bianconi's opinion Oh this
point is of the highest authority, for
although the extension of railways
in the land has thrown thirty seven
Of his vehicles out of employ, which
daily ran 2,446 miles, still he has
over nine hundred horses, working
siXtyseven conveyanccs, which dali
~ travel 4,244 miles. 1t is also
founded on the result of fofty-three
years experience.

Young Sows or Old for Breeding.

There is, perhaps no single point
connected with the rearing and man
agement of swine, Of greater practi-
cal Importance, and possibly none,
a discussion of which would develop
a greater diversity of opinion and
practice, than the age to which
sows should be retained for breed
ing purposes. In regard to the age
at which they may first be allowed
to breed, there would probably be
not very much disagreement; but
how long afterward should they be
permitted to rear pigs?
1t may open anew the old discus
sion of this subject by those who
have given it much attention, if we
state our own convictions, and ask
them to state theirs in subsequent
numbers of the Jou,mal.
We should reply to the question
by saying:
l. If the sows are of some fixed,
well established breed, like the Berk-
shires, and the intention is to con
tinue the stock pure without special
reference to modification of form or
characteristics, it is safe, and often
best, to retain them as breeders as
long as they produce good-sized,
healthy litters, and are careful
mothers. When they have ceased
to do so-have become so large,
unwieldly or careless, as to overlie
their pigs; have contracted the hab-
it OF destroying their young; pro-
duce only three or four at litter,
or have become vicious-it is time
to turn them over to the butcher.
2. If they are mixed blood, or be-
long to any of the recently formed
breeds, and there is purpose to
improve the stock, or at least to
prevent deterioration, they should
not be allowed to bear more than
two litters. unless for some especial
reason.
Crosses can be made more fire.
quently, and therefore desirable
modification can be effected in much
less time, by breeding exclusively
from young females. Nor is any
thing of value endangered 1t is
taken for granted that only well
bred males of good points are used,
and that they are changed at prop
er intervals. If, therefore, there
are no females among her progeny
as perfect as the dam, she is clearly
not worthy of being kept longer; if
there are, what reason is there for
retaining her? But the produce, if
the cross be at all judicious, will be
an improvement upon the dam; and
hence selection from the litter
should take her place, in most cases,
as early as possible.
AS matter Of fact, it is within
our knowledge that the breed known
as the Poland China, or Magic, owe
much Of its early rapid development
to the almost universal practice
prevalent some thirty years ago
among the farmers of Butler coun-
ty, Ohio, Of using chiefly young
sows for breeding.
We shall be glad to hear from
those interested, what, in their opin-
ion, is the best practice, and their
reason for adopting it.-NutionM

The eating of fruit, and especial
OF apples, has tendency to purify
the blood. If person who is troub
led with scrofulous humors eats
freely of good, ripe fruit, after long
abstinence from the same, he will
be likely to be troubled with a
"breaking OUT" the fruit will drive
the humor from the system, causing
it to pass off through the skin by
means of pustules. People some
times fear to eat fruit very freely,
from the fact that it causes such a
breaking out. Such result should
not be considered unfavorablc, but
the reverse, and should be cncour-
aged. A fruit diet and free pcrspi-
ration from moderate exercise will
do much to improve the health.

Grass or Grain.

In one of its articles on ssthe Mea
Manufacture" the agricultural ca
z@tte draws n comparison between
the products of grass land and lane
under the pillow. In this compare
son the estimate is not based upor
the yield of what really ranks as the
best grass land-as it is taken fol
granted that that which produces
twelve to fifteen tons of food PEI
acre, yearly, say two and half to
three tons of hay, "without any la
Dor but that of repairing the fences
which divide it, destroying the
docks and thistles which invade it,
and supplying manure to maintain
it, is producing more at less ex-
pense than perhaps would do in any
other condition" But with poor
pasturage or meadow, on which
eight tons Of green food, or say one
and half to one and two-thirds
tons of hay, is the highest average
yield, the opinion is expressed that
n rotation with grain crops could
often be substituted to great advan-
tagc. Under good English manage
ment, and the writer speaks from
his own experience, such land with
a six course system of rotation, has
been made to yield, beside tie grain
1t harrested-First year, twenty five
hundred pounds wheat straw; sec
ond year, twenty-four tons maugels
wurtzel; third year, twenty-five hun
dred pounds wheat straw; fourth
year, eighteen tons Swedish turnips;
fifth year, twenty cwt. of barley
straw; sixth year, ten tons clover
(green); or total Of fifty-two tons
of green food and three and a half
tons of litter, in addition to grain
while under grass, at eight tons a
year, the total product would have
been only forty eight tons Of green
food. AS to the practical results,
he says:
"On the farm I write from, three
quarters Of which was formerly
grass, stock of about forty head
of oxen, fattening to sixty or seven
ty stone, and between two and
three hundred sheep, fattening to
twenty-four pounds a quarter, with
fifty or sixty pigs, are now kept du-
ring winter, and about half those
numbers during summer, where
formerly a herd of twenty-five cows,
and about twenty yearlings and two
year old heifers, with few pigs,
were maintained in store conditions,
while in addition to the above, the
land now permits an annual sale off
it of about 1000 bushels of wheat"
Pounds Of Grass to Pound Of
Meat.-It is stated, on good author.
ity, that an acre Of the best Licoln-
shire grazing land-and it is coun-
ty famous for its grass-will carry
an OK and 4 sheep ''from New May
day till Old Michaclmas," and that
while grazing during this period,
the former will gain go pounds,
and the latter forty pounds, in net
weight of meat when slaughtered.
The acre will thus yield $40 lbs.
Of meat. Its produce of grass may
be sixteen tons-perhaps more.
This is one pound of meat for every
cwt. of grass, but we must remem-
Der that the grass of such land diff
fers from the average in the quality
as well rs iii the quantity of its pro-
duee.

Value of milk per quart, 5 cents.
AS compared with the sale of
milk, butter at fifty cents, or even at
forty-tive, yields better net return,
unless the market for milk is access
sible and the dealers are willing to
accept fair profits. This conclusion
has been arrived at in the experience
of many dairymen. At recent
meeting Of the Farmers Club, at
Brandywine Hundred, Delaware,
the question was decided in favor
Of Il butter dairy, by vote of fifteen
to seven. Statements of cash pro-
ceeds showed range of 800 to $3.50
for each COW per annum for milk,
and 800 to $50 for butter. The
great increase of cheese making
from one hundred and three million
pounds in 1859, to the estimated
product in 1869, of two hundred and
forty millions, while the butter
manufacture has only advanced from
four hundred and sixty millions in
1859, to an assumed product of sew
en- hundred millions in 1869, has
tended to a comparative scarcity of
butter. Not only has the foreign
demand for our dairy products in
creased, but the home demand has
increased much faster than the pop
ulation. The home consumption of
cheese is probably three times as
large as in 1860, in the aggregate.
The average consumed by each in
dividual was then about two pounds,
while now it is five.-4gricu1tuva1

Comparative Profits Of Butter Max

There are four ways of disposing
of milk-for butter, cheese, con-
densed milk, and for family use.
In the form of condensed milk, at
prices hitherto obtained, it's mar
ket value is highest, as quart of
milk, reduced to one-fourth its bulk
in the vacuum pan, yields 4 little
more than half a pound in weight,
and realizes fifteen cents. at the
rate of $3.50 per dozen pound cans,
one-third Of which should be al
lowed for cans and manufacturing,
leaving ten cents per quart for milk.
The comparative profit ofbutter and
cheese depends upon the prices
which fiuctuatc with the changes in
both the local and general demand.
At fifteen cents for cheese, requiring
fully four and a half quarts of milk
to make pound, and torty-five cents
for butter, requiring eleven quarts,
the product exclusive of the
cost Of making, would yield four
cents per quart in cheese, and four
aud half in butter. Mr.. X. A.
Willard figures still better result
for the butter and skim cheese fac
tories, where all the products ofthe
milk are utilized. His statement
Of the yield of fourteen quarts of
milk by this method, as compared
with cheese making, may be arrang-
