heat from the earth aud the lower atmos-
phere and thus moderate the bitterness Of
approaching winter. Earlier the evaporation
does not take on visible form; but it is no
less efficient to repel early autumn frosts and
prolong the season to allow the full devel-
opment Of our later fruits. The same course
also renders spring frosts almost unknown in
a belt Of country several miles in width along
the border Of the lake, so that our fruit crops
are never blasted IN the blossom by that
cause. Aud during the heats of summer
this evaporation from the lake supplies to
the atmosphere that humidity which is the
essential feature of every fruit region.
Unfortunately for us the waters Of Cham
plain are shallow and, consequently, they
become SO chilled as to freeze over before
the winter is hardly half over; after that
we are exposed to the rigors of winter incl
dent to our latitude only we do enjoy some
immunity from cold by reason of our low
elevation, which is only from one to three or
four hundred feet above the level of the sea.
But, if our propitious and almost tropical
summer has tempted us to the planting Of
tender varieties Of fruit, we now see them
swept away by excessive frost. Were this
lake as deep as some Of the smaller ones Of
Central New York, doubtless we, also, be-
tween 449 and 450 north latitude, might
grow peaches, ounces, grapes, etc., unPro'
tectcd.

WARM SHELTER FOR YOUNG
CATTLE IN WINTER.

1t is common thing among farmers in
Vermont to give young cattle a yard and an
open shed for winter quarters. The shed is
often open on more than one side, and
may have apertures in the walls which give
very free ventilation and cause draughts
wheti the wind blows. Here they have their
food, and drink and rest; some having the
luxury of good bed of straw, while others
lie on frozen manure, in snow drift, or in
mud-puddle. We have heard farmers make
a strong argument in favor Of open sheds for
cattle, An open shed allows great free
dom of motion, and fair chance for pure
air. A good open shed, well Uttered, is bet
ter than some stables we have seen but, un-
less they are favorably located, and arranged
with great care, cattle which are kept there
day and night are exposed to unnecessary
cold, to al! changes oftemperature, and suffer
accordingly The cost Of keeping is in.
creased, aud the growth is diminished. II
cattle arc to be kept in open sheds, they
should be built SO as to open to the east or
south. They should be sheltered from wind,
and all sides but one should be perfectly
tight not even crack left for air to draw

FLOWERS FOR THE SICK.

1t would be selfish in us to cultivate flow.
ers merely to adorn our own homes, or to
crafty our own love of the beautiful. The
flowers are generous, their fragrance is not
pent up in themselves, but is waited on ev.
cry one who passes by our grounds, or enters
our parlors aud we doubt not many wistful
eyes admire the bright colorings and desire
to hold some Of them in their hands as their
uery own.
1t is a sad thing to be sick and disabled
from walking out. 1t is great privation to
be shut up in the house, feeble, wasting in-
valid, when there is so much brightness ous
of doors, so much to fill the heart and eye
with joy and happiness. We that rise early
and employ ourselves with daily cares and
labors, can hardly sympathize with those who
are unable to enjoy these privileges, which
we can really never appreciate until they are
lost and gone beyond our recall. And in ev.
cry community there are those who highly
prize the "green things of the earth," and
yet are not able to enjoy them, but are forced
to struggle for life with pain and sickness,
day and night. To such sufferers fragrant
bunch of flowers comes like messenger Of
hope and comfort from the outer world
even II single rose bud or a bunch Of pan.
sizes is fraught with blessing, and such
slight tokens of remembrance will brighten
many dark hour, and give cheerful ap.
pearance to many gloomy room. Far bet
ter than pills or powders sometimes, are the
bright, sweet flowers of our gardens to those
who are denied many comforts and even
when their illness is so severe that only the
physician and nurse can enter their sick
room, the lovely, fragrant flowers will remind
our friends that we are mindful of their suf-
ferings, and will do all in our power to alle-
vate them. Amid the dull array Of phials
of medicine, it is almost blessed relief to
see few flowers, which can cheer the pa
tient in his bitter pain and if death is the
only physician which can heal, the flowers
will speak to the sufferer Of brighter
skies and purer airs, where no griefs nor
graves are known; and sin and sorrow new
er enter In the time of fruit, luscious
peach or pear, or a glowing bunch of grapes
will be relished by the sick for their sake,
and also for the gver's for intense graft
tude is often felt for kind remembrances,
such little tokens of affection and interest.
Dear friends, let US bestow of our abun-
dance not only upon the sick and suffering,
but also upon those who are denied such
blesslngs.-DMsY EYEBRrGuT, in Country

through. They should have a hard, dry
bottom, so high that water from the surround
ing premises will not g. her there, and
should be we'll supplied with bedding.
1t is a question, after ALL if good, warm,
well arranged stables are not most favorable
to health and growth.
An experiment Of our own, last winter,
would indicate that stables are the best. A
pair Of fine yearling heifers, which had run
together in the summer, came to the barn in
healthy condition, Nov. 1st They were
kept in an open shed the first Of the winter
being fed alike, literally, and having good
care. The shed was q basement under
sheep barn, with stone walls on one end
and one side, one end boarded up, and the
south side open. 1t was tight and well pro-
tected from wind. They appeared to grow
well. After a couple of months, one of
them--the largest and strongest--was tied
up in the stable and fed there altogether, be-
ing turned out for water and exercise every
day. They were still fed the same-each
one having good hay and small quantity OF
meal. The heifer that was tied up in the
barn soon began to gain on the other, and con-
tinued to do so until the other was put by
her side.-C. II. Hubbard, ia Record and

wARRANTY--HoRsE TRADING.

"a mans eyes are his market meaning
thereby, that it is proper to conceal from an
intending purchaser, every defect which such
purchaser may not of himself be able to de-
tect-is the horse jockeys rule Of faith and
practice. In plying his vocation, it is, how
ever, not unusual for a jockey to permit his
anxiety to get rid of an unsound animal to
get the better of his discretion, and to induce
him to warrant horse when he has no in
tention of doing so in fact. The law OF the
case is stated substantially in the charge of
a New York Judge, to jury, as follows
"If man warrants horse, it is not nee
essary for him to say, l warrant that horse,
but any distinct affirmation in regard to the
quality or condition of q horse made to op-
crate, and which does operate on the sale,
amounts to warrantee. Ii man don't
want to warrant he must keep his mouth
shut and if he does open his mouth, he
must tell the truth.
:" If the seeds of disease are in a horse
when man warrants him, the man who
makes the warrantee takes the responsibility
as to whether the seeds will trout or not,
but warrantee don't apply to known de-
fects which can be seen. If horse has an
eye knocked out, or has but three legs, and
the owner says, warrant that horse to be
sound the law does not take notice Of that,
as the warrantee does not apply.
alt may be further remarked, that the
seller Of mich COW is under quite as clear
legal obligation to tell the truth, as the
seller of horse"

BUTTER TRADE.

Few people have just idea Of the i'm.
mense amount of capital in the butter trade.
According to statistics, the dairy products Of
the United States aggregate in value $780,
100000 annually. From official sources
the total sales of dairy products in the Unit
ed States for 1870 from S,935,337 cows,
was;-Butter, 514,OS2,6S3 lbs, at an av.
erage of 30c. per ID, or Sl7l,274,236 /;
cheese, SO, ,492, l53 lbs., exclusive of factory
product, statistics of which are not at hand,
at an average of 45c. per h., sSO2, ,3S3,2 30 ;
milk, 235 ,5OS, 500 gallons at an average Of
3Oc. per gallon, or $40 ,655,s7s, making a
grand total of S242, ,Sl9,4sS This is ex.
elusive of the enormous amount consumed by
producers that cannot be reached, as it goes
into consumption without sales or account

and inferior sorts, owing to its color, but for
private use we recommend it highly. Like
other native or semi.native varieties, il is
recommended by nurserymen as free from
mildew, but we have not found it entirely so
in light soils. This, with its very distinct
habit, assmilating much more nearly with
the foreign than the Dative, has much weight
in convincing us of its hybrid character.

who want the best of all the varieties classed

it cautiously. We think there are better va

For tho VERMONT FARMER
Mr.. SEMOUR'S AYRSHIRES.

had an opportunity short time since,
Of looking over a small herd Of Ayrshires,
eighteen in number, belonging to II. II. Sc
mour, Esq, of st. Albans. Mr., Semour, al
though not farmer by profession, yet having
fancy for pure bred stock, has taken much
pains to obtain those he has, from popular
and reliable breeders, as will be seen from
the following brief description of his herd f:
At the head justly stands the COW princess"
noble animal, bred by DR.. Geo. B. Loring,
Of Salem. Mass, direct from imported stock.
This has been remarkable COW for milk,
having given thirty-tbree quarts in day on
grass alone. He also purchased Of DR.. Loring,
the COWS Empress" Victoria" and Ell
Ia" and the bulls Dan and +" Harry"
The dam of q" Harry " was "Jessie 3D." the
prize COW of Scotland, imported by Dr. Lo-
ring. For engraving Of this COW see "Flint's
Mich Cows and Dairy Farming" page ii /;
also for confirmation Of the amount OF milk
given by "Princess," see April number Of
GALAXY, page 565
From Gaylor P. LoriDg, Of Boston, Mr..
Semour obtained "Empress 3D." Empress
3d." "Victoria 3D." and ELLA ID" and from
S. d. Hungerford, of Adams, N. Y, "Lib-
bie," and "Libbie 3D." and the bull "Abe
Lincoln" So much for his purchased stock,
which is certainly good array to commence
with. He has few animals now on his
farm, bred by himself, mostly calves.
This stock has certainly been obtained
from reliable sources, and from "outward in
dicatiOns" appears to possess good milking
qualities, but am sorry to say Mr.. Semour,
after being at much trouble and expense in
getting together this fine herd, has put it
on his farm, committing it to the care OF
incompetent persons, and in reality knows
very little about its capacity for the prCduc-
tion of milk or butter, or the improvement
of stock. This is certainly too bad, for with
such number of choice animals to CON-
mence with, there should be the requisite
care and attention given to them, when cor
responding results may, and should, be ex-
pected, but hardly otherwise.
Mr.. Seymour has had three of his animals

These were the cows Princes" aud "Libbie,

As have SAID before, these are hne-look
ing animals,-goOd types Of the breed,-be
ing of good shape, style, and color, indica
tive of being useful for the dairy, and TO
breeding purposes. | hope that Mr.. Sc
nour will not let other demands upon hi
time and attention deprive him Of the oppor
tunity of overseeing his farming operations
personally, and, by so doing of placing hi
Ayrshires ii the position they are entitled to

How brightly through the mist Of years,

Among her milk-pans, silver bright;
We children Just from school set free,
Filling the garden with our gleei
Tho blood Of life was flowing warm
When was living on farm.

As Ger the fields its music fell.
/ see the country neighbors round
Gathering meath the pleasant sound,
They stop awhile beside the door,
To talk the homely matters DER
The springing corn, the ripening grain
And how we need little rain "
"a little sun would do no harm,
We want good weather for the farm."
When autumn came, what joy to see
The gathering of the husking bee,
To hear the voices, keepin tune,
OF girls and boys beneath the moon,
To mark the golden corn-ears bright,
More golden in the yellow light
Since have learned the ways Of men,
I often turn to these again,
And feel life wore its highest charm,
When was living on farm.

RECIPES.
Baked Apples.

Apples of uniform size are selected, and
simply wiped and cOred. This last opera
tion is quickly performed by punching
them through the middle with an apple corer,
thus removing the stem, seeds and tougher
parts, and making an opening for the intro
duction of sugar, in the cooking operation
which follows. After dipping the apples in
water, they are placed in any deep pan or
baking dish, and sprinkled with sugar, about
a teaspoonful to each apple, and a tea-cup-
full of water turned on around them. They
are then baked with a slow, steady fire till
soft, when they should be removed from the
baking pans for cooling and the table.
When served with cream, this is a dish fit
for the gods. Every part of the apple can
be eaten, the sugar having neutrallzed the
acidities in the fruit and the cooking max
ing tender the skin. 1t is capital substi-
tute for strawberries. There is another way
of treating sweet apples, which some of the
ancients did not practice. Stew them in
porcelain kettle, with just enough mOlasses
and water to prevent their burning on, till
cooked through and then transfer them to the
oven, with all the liquid residuum, to dry
and brown. This gives baked apple, half
jellied, delicious in flavor and moisture, that
any one can love. Sweet pickles, by some
considered superior to the old fashion apple
sauce, are made by partly baking sweet ap-
pies and then saturatiug them in pickle Of
vinegar, sugar aud spices. This is easier to
make than apple sauce, which must be
smothered in boiled cider, and is full as
| healthfnl az the nnrina cucumber.
