LIZ Pearg and How Raised.


Some of our readers have heard Of
the magnificent pears raised by MIR.
Leighton, of Norfolk, Virginia. The
method of culture, given by him in the
Hortieuttetrist, is another proof of the
old saying that g 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-m large holes, filed with top
soil mixed with compost of muck.
wOod=mOld and lime-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

three feet deep-whieh is not in ac-
cordance with the theory that trees do
best when the roots are near the sur
face. Mr.. L. sums up rs follows: 's In
short, the following are requisites for
successful pear culture in Eastern Vir-
ginia: l. Perfect drainage. 2 Stifest
clay soil. 8. Proper planting of the
trees. 4 Clean culture. 5. 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.
z. Determination, patience and suff1-
Gent of the sacrificing spirit to remove
all fruit until the tree has sufficient
wood to sustain it without checking the
wood growth. 8. Judicious pruning

full picking, packing and handling of
the packages. 10. The right kind of an
agent to dispose of them.

How Often Should Cows Be MIXED

The following, from the Irish Farm
ers' Gazette, is worthy of considera-
ton:
Regularity of milking COWS is of as
much Importance as regularity in feed
ing them. In state of nature. the
COW is relieved of its milk many times a
day. A calf allowed to remain with its
mother viii help itself seven or eight
times day. Under such circumstanc-
es the udder of the COW viii remain
small, and if allowed to retain the milk
secreted during twelve hours, feverish
SYMPTOMS are likely to be produced. The
practice of milking COWS more than
twice IN the course of twenty-four hours,
causes the capacity of the udder to be
greatly increased, and probably helps
IN maintaining the tactical secretion
long after pregnancy has taken place.
When, however, by an artificial system,
the COW has been enabled to retain her
milk without Inconvenience for twelve
hours or so, she ought to be MIXED
regularly every day at the same heur.
When the time for milking arrives, the
udder usually becomes distended to its
utmost capacity, and if it be not speed
lily removed, the animal suffers consid-
cradle pain. Gases of fever, the result
of allowing animals to remain too long
unmilked, are, indeed, by no means of
unfreqRent occurrence. It is especially
necessary to attend to this point for
some days after the animal has brought
forth its young, for during that period
very little irritation of the tactical or
gans is likely to bring on that most ia
tai of maladies, fever. If milking be too
long delayed, nature viii try to help
the poor animal. An absorption of milk
into the blood will to some extent take
place, and that which remains in the
udder viii become deteriorated. When
neglect to milk COW at the regular
time is repeated several times, the Sc
erection of the fluid is prematurely
checked, and there are many cases
where by such neglect an animal has
become dry in less than a month.

Profits of soiling.


Mr.. b. 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 viii 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 81 600. 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 $1,000. 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
500 each from the profit on milk. -

"A few years since I knew two gentle

COWS one had two hundred in the far
West and the other about sixty In the

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 nd of his whole
agricultural speculation. Now II these
proprietors had raised young stock from
sires whose pedigree would be sure to

COWS they started with, they might have

Breeding Cows for the Dairy.


If the great dairymen of the present
day would look around and notice the
systematic manner IN which horsemen
are breeding speedy trotters, they might
gain knowledge which might be very
valuable. To obtain this disideratuun.
they are sparing no pains TO mate as to
trace back through none but sires and
dams having the blood OF particular an.
imals whose characteristics they wish TO
perpetuate. Doubtless the aptitude to
give large quantity Of milk might be
bred into herds Of cattle, 50 that dairy
ing would become the most profitable
branch Of farming. It 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

The Only Imperishable Monument


Life is so short, mans hold on the
world so slight, the desire for life so
strong, and the wish for permanence so
great, that instinctively a man strives
to project his personality beyond him
self; to get some hold on the world and
on his fellows; to make second self in
the things he creates, which shall re-
main as his memorial when he himself
is lost to mortal sight The blind de-
sire to add to life's security, to obtain
permanency by linking ones self to the
material world, is, we believe, one great
motive for money-making, one strong
desire with men who labor to accumu-
late beyond what reasonable wants re-
quire. As matters stand, there is posi-
lively no distinction so uncertain and
unstable as that given by wealth. As
American laws and manners are. there
is none 50 sure not to last 1t is at best
a merely personal matter. It dies with
the possessor. He cannot secure its
continuance in his family. The house
he lives In, the garden he has taken
pleasure in, the very books and pictures
in which he took delight, win be in the
careless and Indifferent hands of strnn-
gers before he is cold. He may have
many sons, but his utmost care cannot
assure him that one of his name. in so
years, shall dwell in the house he has
builded, or remain in the city where his
fortune is gathered. His name NAV be
honored for all that makes names hon
orable. In a score of years 1t may be a
disgrace in the streets where his fair
buildings are standing now. There is
no possible foresight or skill by which
ne can mark his property so that it viii
bear his name if he leave it to the risk
Of common heirship. The man of for
tune in America is, therefore, "shut mn
to one disposal of his thousands. if he
desire to bind his memory to them in
perpetuity. There is only one method
by which he can so use his property as
to secure distinction and remembrance.
