Steel PlOwS.

A. B. Allen Of New York, says: 81
would sooner pay double the price for
steel plows than accept as a gift the
best set of cast iron plows to he found
in the United States. Though ever so
hard chilled or smoothly polished, cast
iron will foul more or less on the mold
board, in every kind of soil, from a
sandy or gravclly up to heavy clay
loan. The dirt thus gathered on the
mold-board adds greatly to its draft
and prevents good work. Another OBJ
lection to cast iron is that. in order to
get equal strength, the weight must be
considerably greater than with steel,a
this is a hard drag all day, and requires
a. much stronger team. OF
this any one may quickly con-
vince themselves without, resort to
dynamomcter or other means of testing
the draft. He has only to hitch light
team to steel pillow, and a stronger
one to the cast iron, and work them
side by side. In this way Illavc found
that pair Of fourteen-hand ponies
would do about the same work, and
with as much ease to themselves as a
pair Of sixteen band horses. The same
observations about material will also
apply to cultivators. In thus candidly
advising my brother farmers in regard
to the superior merit Of steel plows,
am speaking directly against my own
individual interest, for have been Il

lIints About Milking.

Always manage to have the COW cat
ing when she is being MIXED, and when
thus occupied she lets down her milk
frecr, and is less liable to kick or move
abont than when she can give her whole
attention to the mixer. 1t is best to
milk diagonal teats at the same. time,
but always take hold Of the off tcat
first, for if the COW is going to kick at
all she will kick first from the side you
commence to milk. In milking diago-
nal tcats the left hand milks third
.tcat, and thus the left arm is fen Ter in
case she kicks or steps about. The
best stool is made by mailing foot
square piece Of pine board OH piece Of
Ski one foot high, and the knees the
most convenient bucket holder. Get
close under the COW; work the bucket
we'll under the udder, and the milk will
not be near so apt to be spilled as when
you put tho bucket on the floor and sit
off as far as possible. Milk quickly,
steadily, gently, and never leave a COW
until you have her last drop. Above
all things, never yell at her or beat her.
Kindness is cows most effective
master.

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD
Apples Every Other Year.

Two years ago, as we all remember,
the country was flooded by an immense
apple crop. They we're not worth the
cost Of picking and housing in many
places. Farmers having large orchards
were tempted to give up raising apples
as farm crop, because, when they arc
plenty the price is so low that there is
little profit from the crop, and when the
price is high there arc no apples. Why
it is so we shall not attempt to explain,
but it seems to be q fact that apple
trees bear about all their fruit in even
years, not only in New England but
throughout most of the W cstern States.
In few orchards in New England the
trees bear in odd years, and in some OF
the extreme Western States the habit of
bearing only in even years does not
seem to be as yet fully established: The
tendency, however, seems to he all that
way. Now we wish every farmer and
every farmers son in New England,
would make tho experiment Of picking
off all the fruit from at least one apple
tree this year. as soon as the frnit is as
large as acorns; and from another tree
pick off the larger portion Of the fruit
at the same stage, and note the results.
Whether the bearing years can be
cha gcd by this course, We are unable.
to say with certainty. 1t has been Of
ten claimed that the change might he
made in this way. At any rate the OBJ
jcct is we'll worth working for. The
trees should be MANFRED and the ground
cultivated to stimulate growth and the
formation or fruit buds, as the crop Of
fruit is always determined the year pre-
vious.--N. Z. Farmer.

to witness what next would transpire.
Spoke the father, "Judge, this is my

to her marriage to this man." Then
said the judge: ''Mr. Bailey, do you

would you have this man for your hus-

lady looked up and replied swell,

Here was a nice mess. The father

Sweet, sweet, sweet,
Is tile winds song,
Astir in the rippled wheat
All day long.
It hath the brooks wild gayety,
The sorrowfn' cry OF the sea.
Oh, hush and hear :!
Sweet, sweet, and dear,
Above the locust's whirr.
And hum Of bee,
Rises that soft, pathetic harmony.
In the mcedow-grase
The innocent, white daisies blow
The dandclion plume doth pass
Vaguely to and fro
The unquict spirit of flower
That hath too brief an honr.
Now doth little cloud, all white
Or golden bright,
Drift down the warm-blue sky,
And now on the horizon line,
Where dusky woodlands lie,
A sunny mist doth shine,
Like to Z veil before holy shrine,
Concealing,
Half revealing
Things divine.
Sweet, sweet, sweet,
Is the winds song,
Astir in the ripplcd wheat
All day long.
That exquisite music calls
The reaper everywhere
Lille and death must share,
The golden harvest falls.
So doth all end

Science and Art,
The bloom of the heart =

Make Thou the harvest Of our day
TO fall within thy ways.

We speak Of comic music, but there

although this art, like all others, is ca

express neither wit nor humor, neither
satire nor raillcry, not even the ri,licn-

the orchestra. 1t can hardly be that
this musical hint of the probable conse-

Oranges in fllc South.

It is admitted by southern papers
that the establishment Of Oranges of
the Order of the Patrons Of 1Iusbandry
has been productive Of many benefits
to that region. They have given an
impetus to white immigration, so much
needed to occupy and icrtilizc the lands
trampled over by hostile armies, and
dcnudcl by the calamitics of civil war.
The area Of acres planted in cereals has
greatly widencd in the last few years,
rendering certain localities independent
for home supplies Of food. Manufac-
tories are also'springing up, wherein the
abundant raw material of the South
is wrought into fabrics, which, before
the war were almost entirely imported.

prosperity that is felt by all classes and
conditions of society. The Patrons
have besides exercised an influence in
toning down the rancor Of party spirit,
which had a most demoralizing effect
upon industrial pursuits. The avowcd
object OF the Patrons is to stimulate
the growth of agriculture, and to i'm
prove the condition Of those who en-

Southern States as have adopted the
order, but throughout the entire coun-
