Profits of Soiling.

Mr.. II. Sedgwick, of Cornwall, Con
necticut, stated at farmers meeting at
Lowell, Massachusetts, that the farmers
in his neighborhood were engaged in
producing milk for the New York mark
ct. Referring to the short feed of the
fall of 1871, he added: "Our farmers
all declare they will not go back to the
old way of feeding stock. We cut up
our straw and every thing available.
Many of us have adopted the plan of
steaming the food for our cattle, and
we are satisfied by the experiment we
have made that we can save third of
our provender by steaming it. AS a
sample of what this instance of a young
man who, a year ago last spring,
bought farm of eighty acres of land
for 81, OOO The farm then kept eleven
COWS, four or five yearlings, and horse
or two. He increased the stock to
twenty-five COWS, and kept them on
twelve acres, feeding them ON the sowed
corn and also cutting his oats green for
food. His receipts for the first year
were over $4,000. This year he has
summered on the same farm twenty
seven cows, and he told me the other
day that his COWS would average him
800 each from the profit on milk -

Large Pears and How Raised.

Some of our readers have heard of
the magnificent pears raised by Mr..
Leighton, of Norfolk, Virginia. The
method of culture, given by him in the
IOrticulturi8t, is another proof of the
old saying that d" from nothing nothing
springs" and that pears cannot grow
without food. His trees, which are
dwarf, are planted twelve feet apart
each way-a little further would be
better-in large holes, filled with top
soil mixed with a compost of muck,
wOod-mOId and hme-the two first in
about two equal parts, and the lime
one-twelfth. No crops are allowed to
grow in the pear orchard before June,
and the surface is kept clean. Straw
berries Mr.. L. finds to be the most ex-
hausting. He remarks, Persons who
have not courage and disposition to
spare the land and keep it thoroughly
cultivated, should not embark in the
business of pear culture" The holes
in which the trees are SET, and which
are filed with earth and compost, are
three feet deep-which is not in ac-
cordance with the theory that trees do
best when the roots are near the sur
face. Mr.. L. sums up as follows " In
short, the following are requisites for
successful pear culture in Eastern Vir-
ginia: 1. Perfect drainage. 2. Stifest
clay soil. 3. Proper planting of the
trees. 4 Clean culture. s. Healthy
trees (Which can be had of responsible
nurserymen direct, without the inter
vention of an agent, and imparting the
satisfaction of having every tree true to
name.) 6. Timely supply of proper
food for growth of both wood and fruit.
7. Determination, patience and suff1-
cient of the sacrificing spirit to remove
all fruit until the tree has sufficient
wood to sustain it without checking the
wood growth s. Judicious pruning
DIETER none than too much.) 9. Care
full picking, packing and handling of
the packages. 10. The right kind of an
agent TO dispose of them"

imals whose characteristics they wish to
perpetuate. Doubtless the aptitude to
give large quantity of milk might be
bred into herds of cattle, so that dairy
ing would become the most profitable
branch of farming. 1t may be well to
consider how similarly the great Short
Horn breeders are proceeding in fixing
the capability of transmitting all the
mellow touch as well as the magnificent
frame, and then draw the inference that
breeding from bulls descended from
none but deep, rich mixers, would give
a corresponding results, VIZ; a natural
inclination to produce a great flow of
milk. Then by raising all the heifeT
calves, what a fortune making herd
could be accumulated
A few years since knew two gentle
men of means who had herds of dairy
COWS one had two hundred in the far
West and che other about sixty in the
East. The former bought COWS to fill
up as fast as vacancies arose, and raised
calves of both sexes, but did not pay
any attention to pedigree The first
mentioned, though very wealthy man,
sold entirely out, years ago, and the
other is DESTROYS to get rid of his whole
agricultural speculation. Now if these
proprietors had raised young stock from
sires whose pedigree would be sure to
double the milking properties of the
COWS they started with, they might have
been in receipt of handsome returns foI
their enterprise, instead of bemoaning
the loss of many thousand dollars

SANDY HIGGINS AND THE
WIDOW.

One day Sandy Higgins came into
my Office and sat down without a word.
For some minutes he sat still, watching
me intently, as if trying to make out by
the sound of my pen what I was
writing.
esquire, he said at length, did I
ever tell you about my scrape with the
widow Horny up here on the river %
Never did, said ], laying down my
pen let's have it.
" They're curious creatures, widows
is, said he in a meditative tone, "and
the more you study about 'em the more
You don't know anything about 'em.
What was this thing I've read about in
Egypt, or some other country, that no
body could unriddIe?"
"The Sphinx, probably" I replied.
swell" continued he, % that was a
widow as sure as you ever had a granny.
Everything else in the earth has been
found out but them, and they're as
much mystery to-day as the length of
the North Pole. You may read the his
tory of the world from Genesis to Reve-
Iations, and you'll find that widows
have been at the bottom or top of five
quarters of all the devilment that has
ever been cut up. Was you ever in
love with one ?"
''Lots of them," said l.
you're a great gander-that's what
you are, said he. A man that loves
one and gets over it won't never get bit
by another, if he's got as much sense
as a ground hog. don't consider that
I've got any sense at all, but I'm a little
too smart to let another of them get all
the trumps on me. The widow Horny
that / was speaking of is little the
handsomest woman, Lreckon, that ever
looked a man into fits, and I ought to
be Judge, for I've seen lots of pretty
women in my day. She was about
twenty-five years when went up there
to work, just in the bloom of her beauty,
and as full of deviltry as a three-year
old mule colt There was ball over
at Jenkins and of course went, for I
always go where there's any fun going
on, and generally act the fool before I
get away. OF course the widow was
there, dressed as fine as Solomons
lilies, and flying around as frisky as a
young lamb in a rye patch. I got in
troduced to her and asked her to dance
with me, and when she flashed her eyes
at me and said yes, jumped up like
had sat down on hot griddle. You
may talk about sensation, but when she
took hold of my hand and I sorter
squeezed it, I feltA sensation as big as
a load of wood, and it kept running up
and down my back like squirrel with
a hawk after him. I'm very fond of
dancing, but I'll be hanged if I knew
whether I enjoyed it that night or not,
for every time she took hold of my
hand I'd commence feeling curious be-
hind my ears and up and down my back
again, and then I wouldn't know
whether I was on earth or in a balloon,
or an a comet, anything about it. It
was undoubtedly a case of love at first
sight, and powerful bad case at that.
For q wonder I got through the frolic
without making conspicuous or cutting
up any extras, as am in the habit of
doing when I go into public. I'd set
my pegs to go home with the widow
after the ball, but just as I was fixing
my mouth to ask her, up steps a big,
long, leather-faced doctor named Nab,
ny, and walked her off before my eyes,

would on q native born African, and all
the chance was to wait and let it wear
