How Did He Tell Him I

In Charlestown, recently, large dog
gave chase to a poor little black and
tan" whose hind leg had been injured.
but, failing to overtake him, turned
about and trotted slowly back. In a
short time the small dog returned, fol-
lowed by a large Newfoundland, who,
upon reaching the corner, seemed to
be lookingfor something" when the lit
tie dog gave two or three sharp banks.
as much as to say, "1That's the big dog
who chased me-" at the same time in
dicating by his actions the large black
dog, who was then at some distance.
Whereupon the little dogs ally imme-
diately attacked and severely punished
the aggressor, who was glad enough to
try the swiftness of his feet for safety.
After this little affair the small dog and
his friend returned down the street,
apparently much pleased with their
part of the late transaction. How did
the small dog impart the idea to the
large one !?

The question. OF {ha values Oh MIX
made into butter and cheese, compared
with that sold in the market, is inter-
testing Is tiose within reach Of a market
for milk. Comparisons are frequently
instituted from estimates and exact sta
tistics, both very properly brought into
the arguments. The general testimony
Of the comparisons seems to be that
milk sent In the cities. brings more
money than dairy of butt Ter OF cheese
Of the same number Of cows. At the
January meeting of the Butter NAL ers
of Western New York, it was stated by
several dairymen that their income was
80 to $57.33 per cow, and $40 estima-
ted value Of the skinned milk. This
is less than the income from milk sold
from an average dairy, and below the
average Of good butter Diaries. There
is much greater difference in the in
come of butter dairies than of milk dali
ries. Good feeding, skill in making,
and good market may surely make a
difference of two to one. In the milk
business thefe il, = difference in tho in
como often a. three is totwo. Theresis
an occasional butter dairy which makes
q gross receipt of 500 per cow, and
there are some milk daities that reach
that, 1t requires a higher degree of
skill and good management in the but
ter dairy, but it is as sure. It is diff
cult to bring statistics enough to settle
the question, as there are SO many un-
measurod circumstance tobes b4Qught
lin Il must be determined very much
by the help of good judgment.
There is one. item in the discussion
which is sometimes left out. That is
the difference in the cost of keeping
!. eousfo milk and for butter. II ID vel
understood that the producers Of milk
make nearly as much milk in winter a.
in summer, and the cows must be fedin
the best manner through the winter
with the best forage and grain, making
the cost of milk in winter much greater
than in summer, while. the butter and
cheese makers give their COWS rest two
or three months I'M the winter, consum-
ing much less food when dry. The diff
ference in cost Of sending milk to mar
ket and manufacturing it, depends on
the distance from the railroad and many
other circumstances. In a great mum
|ber u cases there ID not much differ
ence. There is no question but that
careful manager, who makes the best
quaity>of butter or cheese, can get o.

y MI. A..:X. Wallace, in the New York
Tribune, describes his mode of cult
waiting the Osier Willow, as follows:
While the willow is very hardy and
will grow almost anywhere, where veg
citation can exist, find the land most
especially adapted to it is muck, or made
wash from higher surfaces. Such land
should produce from four to five tons
per acre. As the soil grows more wei
the product will fall off until one or two
tons would be good yield from sur.
face covered with water from one or two
months during the growing season. On
dry hilly, and gravelly lands, with ittle

age, the product, igI generally light
without fertilizers- from one to, two
tons Of green willows. = q =, '-*'' =.
The land should be deeply plouRhed
and Pulveri4ed, and the sOds and 0rase
roots should be removed as far a. pos.
sible. The cuttings should be eight
inches in length, Of well ripened wood.
and and six inches deep, at an angle oi
As degrees with the rows, the rows
thirty inches apart, and the sets
six inches in the rows. As the cut.
ftings are not expensive, it il better to
thus insure 4 good stand than to be al
the trouble of re. setting the next sea
son 4:the ground <isE dry enough, !
prefer to cultivate some small crop, like
beans, between the rows the first sea-
son, as it will keep, down grass and
weeds until the willows can get start.
The first year they will amount to
nothing for market. but must be cut
just the same, as they will branch the
second year if not so treated, and spoi
them forspeeling, The second yeer a
light crop ofsfl0m one to two tons nav
BE expected, and so on to the third and
fourth years, when the willow, will be-
come well rooted, and produce as large
crops as over. Particular care should
be used in, cutting them, close to the
ground, ass they viii stool out better
and facilitate the subsequent cutting.
The cost Of cutting is about $l2 per
acre.
An English writer, quoted in the
Monthly Report of the Department of
Agriculture, for September, 1873, de-
scribes mode Of planting by means of
a frame, which marks the particular
spot at which each cutting is to be
inserted in the ground. This writer
shows the Importance Of pushing the
cuttings, their wholA length into tho
coil. Rods 10 planted, has says, send
cut straight shoots, and when the crop
is cut out close to the ground, manure
can be applied to the land, plowed be-
tween the rows and narrowed over, and
kept as clean as an ordinary arabic
field. This, he adds, by many, will be
looked npon very specifically, but 1
have practiced it for many years, and
have every reason to be satisfied with
the EeAult.
