Wintering Cows.

An ordnary.sizcd COW will eat about zoe
pounds Of hay per week. In the dairy dis
tricts Of this State it is estimated that il
requires two tons Of hay to winter a COW
Where hay is worth 81 per ton at the
barn, as it is where we reside, the expense
Of wintering herd Of cows takes large
slice out of the profits Of the dairy. But
with us, while hay is comparatively high
grain is cheap, aud cornslalks aud straw
abundant aud Of good average quality
Cows also sell for an unusually low price
We do not advise those of our readers simi.
larly situated to buy COWS and winter them
in hopes Of making good thing out of it
by selling them at high price in spring
They may or may not make money by the
operation But we think We are perfectly
safe in recommending those farmers who
have plenty Of straw and stalks not to sell
their cows; and if they will need more
cows next summer, we think they can buy
now aud winter them over to good advan.
tage
A COW will cat say three bushels Of chaifed
hay per day. So far as bulk is concerned
we must not vary much from this standard
In our own case, however, we would feed
bushels Of chaifed straw and stalks, hall
peck of bran, and half peck Of corr
meal per day. We think COW can be
wiutered better and with us) far cheaper
than on hay alone. If you have plenty Of
clover-hay it may take the place of the
bran. But do not try to winter the COWS
on straw and stalks alone. 1t is very poor
economy -Aqriculturist

Agricultural Exhibitions.

If man goes to one of these exhibitions
with his eyes open, he will learn, more than
in any other place, the importance of COM
bining brain and hand labor. 1t is by the
application Of brain labor that the horses,
cattle, sheep aud swine have attained almost
state Of perfection. BY spending day
among the best specimens of these animals,
farmer even of moderate brain capacity
will learn the ways and means of improv-
ing his own stock, and of raising larger
crops at a less expenditure, and gain much
other useful information.
The occupation of the farmer develops
the whole man. Though he may not know
it, or be able to define any Of the sciences,
he must, to some extent, become a chemist,
botanist and naturalist; this, too, while
working year after year. without opening a
book on any Of those subjects. Labor aud
thought should 90 hand in hand, lending
their aid to each other. Aud as he labors
aud thinks, he will occasionally catch an
idea Of the source Of that sunshine that
lights up even the log cabin, as nothing but
faithful aud loving wife can do. 1t is as
much duty, and should be the pleasure oil
the farmer to seek, by all laudable means
to increase and prolong these beams of sun
shine, as it is to provide food and shelter
for those dependent on him.
As a means to this end, he should On
courage every effort made by wife aud chill
dren to make aud exhibit at these gather

may come within their means. They doubt

lees. What change from the routine o

How 70 Pickle POrl.

The first essential is a good sweet barrel
not q molasscs barrel, but new barrel
made from wol.seasoncd white oak slaves
without any sap 10 them. If there is any
sap in the slaves, the brine will leak through
aud the pork will be spoiled with rust
Good salt is another requisite for picking
pork
When the hogs are killed and the flesh
perfectly cold, mot frozeu,) lay the hog on
bis side and cut straight down the center
Of the back until the knife strikes the bone
Then turn him on his back and cut through
the ribs close to the backbone, so as to
meet the cut made from the other side
Cut of the head, and your pig will be in
halves; cut the leaf lard from the ribs
cut off the shoulder and ham; cut all the
lean meet from the side then cut the sides
in strips about three inches wide, cutting
across from back to belly. When you
have your sides all cut in this way, take
your barrel and cover the bottom three
iourths Of an inch deep with salt; then
take your pieces Of pork aud set them on
edge, the skin next to the barrel, making
the circle smaller and smaller until you
have a perfect layer, and as close together
as you can well press each piece with the
hand; then fill all open spaces with salt.
Then, with a square-euded stick or maui,
pound the pork down until it is smooth on
the top. Then cover with salt about FIVE.
cighths Of an inch deep. Then proceed
with another layer as before, and so on till
the barrel is filed to within three or four
inches Of the top Then make a brine as
strong as can be made with salt and boiling
soft water; skim the brine and let it cool.
When cold pour it on the meat till the
barrel is filed to within two inches of the
top. Put board, cut to fit the inside Of
the barrel, on top Of the pork, and lay up
on it a " nigger-head rock weighing about
forty pounds Keep the barrel in cool
place it you have one if not, keep it al
most anywhere out of the SUM- and you will
have good picked pork as long as you keep
it completely covered with brine. | have
never lost any pork put up in this way,
and have kept it in cellars on the first
floor, and in garrets-Cor. Rural Nco

Cider Vinegar.

We have often been surprised at the
great haste exhibited by many orchardists
to dispose Of their cider as soon as it comes
from the mill, when there is no product Of
the farm that so increases in value with
age as cider. In the fall of 1870 We
bought barrel of cider for three dollars
and put it into dry cellar with the bung
open. There it lay year, and on examin-
ing it, it proved to be good vinegar, and We
sold it to a trader for ten dollars. Here
was net profit of more than three hun.
dred per cent. Hundreds of barrels o.
cider were sold from the town that year al
ten cents per gallon, all of which woult
have sold readily in year at thirty cent
per gallon. Maine Farmer.

How To Pluck Poultry.

A Tribune correspondent having learned
how to pluck poultry easily without scald-
ing-which practice he says is now vetoed
by city chicken doalers-gives the following
as his plan:
Hang the fowl by the feet by small
cord; then, with small knife, give one
cut across the upper jaw, opposite the cor
ners Of the mouth after the blood has
stopped running stream, place the point
Of the knife in the groove in the upper
part Of the mouth, run the blade up into
the back part of the head, which will cause
a quiyering and twitehiug of the muscles
now is your time, for every feather yields
as if by magic, and there is no danger oil
tearing the most tender chick; before he
attempts to flap, you can have him as bare
as the day he came out Of the egg. The
wise ones may discuss the reasons--I only
know the effects.

the trap near the line of their nocturnal

safe and sound the next morning, and usu-

MEASUREMENT OF HAY.--Hay varies
much in weight, whether coarse or fine,
green or old when cut moist or very dry
when stored, depth Of bay, and other
causes. Nevertheless, with some practice,
farmers may soon learn to make pretty
near guess, by measuring, and observing
the conditions above mentioned. Fine, sol,
id hay, not too old when cut, when settled
under eight or ten feet, will weigh at eas,
a ton for 500 cubic feet Glover will be
much less in weight: and the top of tn,
bay will of course be less. The Massa
chusetts Ploughmaa gives several instances
whera $50 feet of fine solid hay, low dowr
in the bay, weighed a ton but more com
monty it required 500 feet.
