HOW ENGLISH GRooMs CARE FOR
HORSES.

A correspondent of tho New York Com.
mercial Advertiser tells how some English
grooms at Saratoga are teaching Yankees
the care of horses:
To-day | asked one of these grooms, who
has spent twenty years in the stables ofroy.
atty. what he had to say about our Ameri-
can way of taking care of a horse.
"Why sir" said he, "you don't take good
care ofyour horses you think you do, but
you don't"
why" asked.
because, when horse comes in all wet
with perspiration, you let him stand in the
stable and dry with all the dirt on. In Eng
land, we take the horse as he comes in from
a drive, aud sprinkle blood-warm water all
over him, from his head to his feet. Then
we scrapo him down and blanket him, rubbing
his legs and face dry. Thus, in an hour he
is clean and dry, and ready to take a good
feed, while, with your way, he will stand and
swcter for hours, aud finally dry, sticky and
dirty. Our horses never founder, aud never
take cold. We never use curry.comb.
You scratch your horses too hard. The only
care necessary is to have the water not too
cold then bathe them quick, and blanket
them instantly, while you are rubbing their
legs"

WHITE APPLE TOMATO.

In the Rural Southland we find tomato
mentioned as new, with this name. This is
its first year of fruitiug, and it is declared
promising. DR.. Swasey says of it;-"The
plant is hardy, vigorous, drouth-defying
grower, and prolific and continuous bearer
-equaling in all these respects the COM
mon red aud yellow plum tomato. The
fruit is OF beautiful creamy-white color
medium in size, of regular, slightly oblate,
apple shape, with a smooth, tender skin
aud flesh at once so melting in texture, so
deliciously fruity in flavor, so devoid of that
rank tomato twang that most people are not
partial to, so solid and so rich, that one will
have to look long and wide before finding
another variety that will so completely come
up to the highest standard of irst-class Ia =
bic tomato.

THE JONATHAN APPLE.

The first tree that we ever planted of this
variety was procured about forty years ago
from Judge Buel, when he was nurseryman /
and although a slender and rather feeble
grower yet by good cultivation it produced
over bushel Of beautiful specimens the
fifth year. Its fine quality handsome ap-
pearance and productiveness were fully shown.
There are two objections to 1.-THE fruit is
not quite large enough, and the tree has not
the rapid straight growth which enables nur,
serymen to supply fine trees to purchasers,
The last named characteristic has kept it
from extensive planting, for dealers have
learned that purchasers judge very much by
the external appearance Of the young tree.
The Jonathan, when we'll grown and care
fully packed for market, will bring more
than double price in those cities where quail
ity and fine appearace are fully appreciated.
1t is therefore worthy of more extended cul-
ture. 1t grows aud succeeds best when
worked standard height, into vigorous trees
several years Of age. We have seen very
fine trees on the grounds Of j. Morse, of
Oayuga, which had been grated into unpro-

REMEDY FOR RINGBoNE.

First. the best treatment for ringbone of
either kind is, after the inflammation has
been in great measure removed by cooling
applications, to fire the part, Or, in other
words, we'll rub in the iodine of mercury
ointment, washing off the parts of the follow
ing day, and then repeat it again and again
BY such means you will succeed in removing
the lameness, diminishing the enlargement
and restoring the animal in many cases to a
state OF usefulness. Second, foment the
parts daily for week. or keep them COW
cred with damp bandage in case there is
much inflammation aud local tenderness,
Then rub in the following energetically for
Ave minutes Powdered cantharides, one
drachm red iodide of mercury, one.half
drachm camphOr, one scruple spirit OF
wine, one drachm; lard, six drachms. Add
the spirits of wine to the camphor, and then
rub up all into the ointment At the end
of twenty-four hours apply fresh lard over
the blistered surface, repeating it daily until
the scurf comes of then if it be necessary a

FALL PLANTING oF.sEEDs.

Those who have no hot.beds will find it
advantageous to sow many vegetable seeds
in Autumn. Lettuce, if sown now, and then
given a slight protection by covering with
hay or straw, will come forward very rapid
ly in Spring, aud be in Il condition for the
table weeks before that sown next Spring.
Every person who has Il garden must have
noticed that sel-sown tomatoes come forward
much earlier than those sewn in the usual
way in the open ground aud we have known
them to give ripe fruit as early as plants
started in hot.bed. Few persons, however,
seem to think that tomato Geods can be sown
advantageously in Autumn, but the plan is
perfectly practicable and should be tried by
those who have no other way of obtaining
early plants. The seeds should not be sown
until the soil has become so cool that no
growth will occur before Winter then cover
the entire surface Of the seed.bed with coarse
manure to the depth of one or two inches, a
part Of which may ho removed in Spring. A
warm, protected situation should be selected
for the purpose.

are Of the breed and will help to answer one
question, at least, 80 often asked by interested
persons, or otherwise, in relation to what
these COWS will do in milk and butter.
We hope that Mr.. Wheeler and others will
conduct these experiments under different
circumstances, and they will not only satisfy
themselves in this matter but the result thus
obtained will be of great value to others.
There are other things connected with Mr.
Wheeler's farming Of which we might speak
but the above is sufficient to give an insight
into the way he manages his affairs, quite
successfully, and we trust our farmer friends
will gather some hints from these statements
that will be of interest and profit to them
There are many good farmers in this coun-
ty, Of which we have, as yet, little or no idea
and we are glad to run across them OCCASION
allyin our rambles, and gather useful ideas
and suggestions from their varied experience.
And If farmers themselves would visit
each other more frequently, they would find
the time so employed well compensated for
in the new interest that would be thus awak-
ened in their, by far, too isolated occupation.

RAISINS.

The best imported raisias, the Malaga,
are dried upon the vine, the stem or branch
on which the bunch grows being partially sew
cred, and the grapes fully exposed to the
sun. As the juice is evaporated it becomes
sweeter by concentration. The Malaga
rasin is made from the White Muscat Of
Alexandria variety. When dried the bunch
cs are taken off and packed in boxes with
sheets Of paper separating the layers.
The best Valencia rasins are hung on
lines to dry in the sun, and as they begin to
shrivel are dipped into the lye once or twice,
and hung up again. The Turkish raisins
are prepared much in the same way. The
lye corrects the acidity of the skin and caus-
es an exudation of the saccharine to take
place which forms concretions and coats them
with a thin varnish.

He has just commenced to improve his
horses also.
He believes in taking the papers," and
his table is filled with useful reading, novels
being excluded, and after the toll of the day
is over, his family with the hired help find
something to make home attractive, and
there is no fear that his sons will want to
visit the club room" or lounge around the
groceries to pass away the time, as they are
taught to improve instead of killing time
The wife and children are made to feel that
they have an interest in the affairs ut home
and not feel that they are mere drudges to
minister to his comfort alone.
If farming in Vermont was all conducted
in this manner, we should hear less complaint
that there is no profit in farming, and our
young men would not all want to Ego West"

green hills and most beautiful scenery on

A little elbow leans upon your knco,
Your tired knee, that has so much to beari
child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath q thatch Of tangled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
Ofwarm, moist fingers, folding yours so tight i
You do not prize this blessing over-mucb,

We are so dull and thankless; and too slow
To catch the sunshine till It slips away.
And now II seems surprising strange TO me,
That, while wore the badge Of motherhood,

The little child that brought me only good.
And if some night whom you sit down 70 rest,
You miss this elbow from your tired knee;
This restless, curling head from of your breast,
This lisping tongue that chatters constantlyi
II from your own the dimpled hands had slipped
And ne'er would nestle In your palm againi
II the white feet into their grave had trpped,
could not blame you for your heart-ache ther

At little children clinging to their gown;
Or that the footprints, when the days arc wet
Are ever black enough to make them frOwn.

But all the dainty pillow next my own

My singing birdlng from its nest is flown

For tho VERMONT FARMBR
GRAPE FESTlVAL--GRAPE CUL-
TURE IN VERMONT.

In response to general invitation a large
number Of the citizens Of Grafton assembled
at the residence Of Francis Daniels, ESQ, on
the evening Of Oct. oath, for the purpose Of
attending grape festival. Mr., Daniels had
previously given a similar entertainment to
the children and young people Of the town,
and this evening was designed more especial
ly for the older folks. The band was in at
tendance discoursing good music. All en-
joyed good social time, and each did full
justice to those Concords and Deawares,
and when at an early hour the crowd quietly
dispersed, each one doubtless hoped that the
generous host might raise seveuty-6ve bush
els of grapes yearly for many years to come
In this connection few thoughts suggest
themselves in regard to grape growing. Mr..
Daniels has shown by the experience Of sew
era years that grapes can be successfully
grown in this town. lie possesses no natur-
al advantage over his fellow townsmen as
regards soil and location. The secret Of his
success consists in faith in the thing, de-
termination to succeed, plenty of vines and
good culture and in view of the success of
the present year it may be safely affirmed
that every man in Grafton who owns n
garden may, if he chooses, raise a sufficient
amount of grapes for family use. As far as
the growing and training Of the vine is con-
cerned there Is no difficulty. The study of
some good treatise upon the subject, or a
little instruction from some one that knows,
with little practice, is all that is needed to
render any one competent to cultivate and
train the grape.
The only real obstacle is the danger Of
early autumn frosts, which will sometimes
destroy the fruit before it is well ripened,
but by due attention to the selection of vari-
cites, cultivating only those which are the
earliest, this danger may be almost entirely
obviated, and the grape rendered as sure as
any other crop of fruit. j. II. p.

PROGRESSIVE FARMING IN RAN
DOLPH--THE FARM OF COL.
MEAD.

Recently in our travels we have had occa-
sion to stop with Col. j. b. Mead, Of Rau-
dolph, and while there were more than ever
impressed with the idea that in order for
farming to be successful, ii must be Of the
progressive sort.
Col Mead was in the war, and Wiuu he
returned found his farm Of 20 acre, The
worse for wear" His first move was to
increase his capital stock ~nure-by put
ting his cattle in the barn every night sum
mer and winter, and keeping them well lit
tered with straw, leaves and loan to absorb
the urine, which he thinks is worth as much
as the solids if utilized. He determined to
keep his land light by .plowing often, and
have every piece richer when stocked down
than when powed. He plants but little,
and sows only as much ~ can be well ma
nured Where his grass was light he broke
it up just before or Immediately after haying
with a Holbrook plow, turning every inch
and following with roller to press the turf
down evenly. After this he spreads on a
light coat of manure, which has been made
during the summer. Where his grass was
light and he had not manure to dress it. he
ploWs in crop of Indian wheat. He then
stocks his ground about the last Of August
or first of September, sometimes with and
sometimes without grain, but usually with
winter wheat or rye, and never fails Of get
ting a large crop Of hay the next season.
BY this course be has more than doubled his
crop of hay within few years.
Two years ago, finding his barn too small
he built one 45x75, two stories high besides
basement, on a side hill, and has arranged il
with two floors one over the other, so when
his first story is filled he can drive over an
archway into the upper loft. The Col
thinks it would pay even on level land tC
build in this manner, as it saves so much
time in unloading and so much more room il
made under one roof
All the maunre is kept under cover, and
his method of applying is to spread on the
top and thoroughly mix and pulverize witt
tho soil, which gives the quickest returns il
crops. lie has lately added so more acres
making 200 in ell, to his farm.
He goes the "whole hog on swine ant
keeps them busy, and says it pays with porl
at three cents per pound, live weight.
His cattle are the full blood ShOrthorI
Durha ms, and the calves sell for from s5C
to $3.50 each He thinks no man can afor'
to keep inferior stock of any kind.
The sheep are Spanish mehnOs.
