GRADE CArrLE.-Many of our farmers are de-
TERED from the introduction ofimproved blood
into their nerds of cattle by the immense out
lay of money necessary TO engage in any ex-
tensive scale in the propagation of thorough
bred stock. While it is true that it requires a
handsome capital to embark successfully in the
raising of blooded stock, it does not involve
much expense to produce grades that are of as
much practical value to the producer as those
of pure blood. We do not mean to disparace
in the least the production of thorough bred
stock, for unless we have those who engage in
this our facilities for securing high order of
grades must soon disappear. Yet men of limi-
ted means must advance their interest as thew
can. Let them then invest $3.50 or $500 in a
Shorthorned bull calfoi pure blood not a grade,
for 1t is impossible to perpetuate the desirable
characteristics of race of cattle by propaga-
ton from grade; however deep in the blood ;
but from even fair quality of native COWS,
bred to pure Shorthorn, we may get class
OF grades that for size, weight, rapid growth,
and taking on of flesh, are quite the equal Of
thorOughbreds. And it is this fact that mis-
leads SO many, causing them to suppose that a
grade is equally good to breed from. For the
butcher good grade is nearly or quite as good
as thorougEbreds; for propagation he is abso.

s>It has been suggested that the farmers
OF the Connecticut valley would do we'll to de-
vote portion OF their land now used for tobac
co culture to the sugar beet, which in that re-
gion may be grown with little trouble. The
soil and climate will produce as good a beet for
the manufacture of sugar as either France or
6ermany, and the product of the root may be
made equal to any sugar manufactured in the
tropics from one. Tobacco is in some respects
an uncertain crop, and at all times requires
constant watchfulness TO secure it from the va
rous dangers which threaten it at all stages of its
growth. Moreover, tobacco drains the soil ex-
cessively, returning nothing to it, while the su.
gar beet Is er"n ghieh has invariably added
greatly to the value of the lands in which il
has been cultivated. Prot. Stockbridge of Am
herst says that after the saccharine matter has
been extracted tor sugar an acre of beets will
furnish as much stock feed as an acre of hay
ana so used 1t will keep more stock and make
more manure. This beet will thrive, too, on
the soil element which tobacco does not con.
sumo, which renders it peculiarly well adapted
Tor rotation crop on TOBACCO lands. The cul.
tlVation OF the sugar beet has not yet received
the attention in this country which it merits
probably for the reason that little is known
here about the manufacture of beet sugar.
And yet forty per cent of all the sugar used in
the world is made from the beet.

How TO KEEP MEAT Meat is much better
for family use when at least one week old in
cold weather. The English method for keep
ing meat for some time has great merit. Ex-
perts say, hang up quarter of meat with the
cut end up, being the reverse of the usual way,
by the leg, and the juice will remain in the
meat, and not run to the cut and dry up by
evaporation. II is worth a trial, and when
made will be continued.

How TO SAVE CLOVER SEED.-A Canada farm
er put wire bottom in a trough in which he
feeds his stock-the wire being two or three
inches above the close bottom OF the trough
The stock, in pulling the clover hay from the
rack, would scatter the seed, almost pure,
through the wire iuto the receptacle below. In
this way he saved seed enough for his own SOW
ing, and to pay for all the dry goods used in

LINING LANDAU a recent meeting of the Ell
mira, n. Y, Farmers CLUB there were some
statements of experience in the use of lime
Mr. Fitch said that thirteen years ago he had
a field so wretchedly poor that it would pro-
duce nothing but sorrel, with which it at last
became overrun. He plowed it, planted pota-
toes, and OF course got no crop. The next sea-
son he spread 300 bushels of lime on about six
acres-or half the feld-this being sufficient to
give quite thick covering. He expected thus
to overcome the sorrel, regarding lime as an
antIdote to this plant. He again put in pota-
toes, was rewarded with fine harvest, and the
sorrel has never since reappeared. The land
was completely renovated by this single appli-
cation, and even to this day traces of the lime
come up with each turning of the soil. The
next year, without further fertiIizng, he had
an excellent crop of oats. With this crop the
field was laid down to grass, which made a
good catch, and grew luxuriantly where grass
would not before. AT subsequent blowing 9th
er manures were used, and the piece has always
proved reliable for whatever crop Mr.. Fitch
has cared to raise.

Huber, of Chambersburg, Pa, reports that the
fall OF 1871 on a field Of six acres, limestone
soil with gravel, which had been in corn and
potatoes the preceding season he drilled in one
and a-half bushels Of Fultz wheat per acre. an
plying no manure. A dressing of barn yard
manure had been applied for potatoes, but no
fertilizer had been used since then From
this field be has obtained 23l.3 bushels ofwheat

FARMERS SHOULD VIsIr.-One of the most i'm

neighbor. Be neighborly; be social; let out
those good social feelings; make them grow 60

change ideas, confer with one another. flour
farmers would do this if one farmer would on =
ly visit around his whole neighborhood once
every three months, a world of good would be

promoted, and useful knowledge gained.

SOUND IDEAS ON FARMING.-The following
views on farming were thrown out by Mr.
Greeley in his speech at Baltimore, and they SC
entirely cover the ground of successful culture
that we give them place for the benefit Of
our readers:
l. That the area under cultivation should be
within the limits of the capital and labor EN-.
ployed; or, in other words, than on impover.
lshed soils no one should cultivate more land
than he can enrich with manure and fertili.
zers. be it one acre or twenty.
2 That there should be law compelling
every man to prevent his stock from depreda-
ting on bis neighbor's fields.
b That green soil is more economical than
loose pasturage.
4. That deep tillage is essential to good farm
ing.
o That the muck heap is the farmers bank
and that everything should be added to it that
will enlarge 1t, and increase at the same time
its fertilizing properties.
o. That no farmer or planter should depend
upon one staple alone, but should seek to Sc
cure himself against serious loss in bad seasons
by diversity of products.

A Rumsr About western Uason

ROM TIE New ofA LINES, ON.
A few days ago the Times published an
article upon Western Union, in which il
WA stated that a party of ten capitalists had
been formed to huy up $1,000 shares of
Western Union stock, each member Of the
clique buy ing 5000 shares. IL is now stated
that English capitalists are Chi fl interested
in the movement, and they have already
bought and paid for the amount of stock
which they agreed to purchase. That the
movement was urged with view Of obtain
ing control of the company, ard that the
buyers are anxious to come to an arrange
ment with Commodore Vanderbilt by which
all of his stock will be obtained by them in
the neighborhood of fifty. 1t is understood
that the Commodore will not part with HE
stock at the figures which they name, and
that the movement has received a partial
check. The object of these men in buying
up Western Union ia said TO he that the
property Of the company shall be offered TO
the government at about par, in order to
bring about the English system Of govern
ment postal telegrsphs. The scheme to an
opposition to the Western Union by the
Automatic Telegraph Company, it is said,
has fallen to the ground, the parties sustain
ing the new project believing that it is
cheaper to buy up Western Union than to
% to the expense OF starting new company.
