SMALL FARMS PROFITABLE.-At a late
meeting of the Norfolk (Mass.) Farmers
Club, Gen. B. f. Butler made the follow
ing truthful remarks in relation to small,
well-tilled farms:
He alluded to the small farms of France,
and said that nation is not as large as our
State of Texas, but France produces more
wheat than we do in the whole of the
United States, small as she is. How is
that done? She has about the same num-
Der of inhabitants that we have, and yet
in 1868 her product of wheat was three
hundred and fifty millions of bushels
against two hundred and forty millions OF
the United States. We talk about pro-
viding for all the markets of the world
but in 1868 we sent to England nine mil
lion bushels of wheat, while France sent
eleven million dollars worth of butter to
spread on the bread made from the wheat
sent by the United States. These stats
| tics will teach you three things: First
| that to carry on any kind of business, es
pecially farming, needs great persona
thrift and economy secondly, for farmers
to have fair playa lower rate of taxation
| is required and lastly, that small farms
are much more profitable than large ones

Stock Raising.

MEssRs. EDITORS: The great and dis
tinctiye feature of stock raising all over
the United States, and in Great Britain,
at this time. is the demand for pure blood
ed or pedigree stock. This is not mere
fancy. 1t is the result of sound expert
ence. Pure blooded stock, crossed with
common, or worn out stock, improves ana
brings up the latter. But who does not
know the vast superiority, instrinsically,
of pure blood, short-horn or Jersey, or
Devon, over the miserable stock so COM
mon in our midst or of fine Berkshire
hog, over the sharp-backed hog, so plen-
tiful In our country. There is money in
the improved breeds, and that is the point
[ wish to establish. 1t costs no more to
raise pure bloods than the impure, and to
reach given weight, or accomplish the
highest result, for which the particular
animal is designed, often not half SO
much
A fine Jersey cow for example, will not
eat so much as one of our large common
COWS; and yet she will make two or three
| times as much butter, OF greatly superior
| quality.
A writer in the american Agricultngist
| for January, 1872, gives the result of his
| experience in the sales of Jersey cattle
commonly called Alderney. He says his
| first sale was in 1869, a yearling helfer, fol
! $500. Since then he has sold fourteen fe
males of all ages, at prices varying from
| 800 to $50, and averaging S344 GA. The
males sold were mostly calves, and aver
aged SS4 so. The average of all animals
| sold, of all ages and both sexes, wa

were heifers, averaging eleven months old
whose average price was $500.
