agent that can help this work of 6ning ma
nures without any expense. Jack Frost,
with fair chance to work, is that agent.
The best means of economizing frost for this
work is to expose the manure by turning up
new surfaces. Shoveling over and turning
the manure or compost heap, is profitable
work during winter Where heaps are
large the frost does not penetrate very deep,
and they can easily be turned even in cold
weather, and by so doing new surfaces are
exposed to the action of the frost. The
more it freezes and thaws tho finer it be-
comes. Manure and compost heaps so
treated, and thoroughly worked, will be in
nice condition for next springs use, either
to spread and plow in, or to put in the hill (;
aud will be ready to dissolve with the FIRST
rains or other moisture, and will be readily
taken up by the plants for which they are
intended. Winter is the time to push this
work along 50 as to be ready for business

CORN SOW-THISTLE.
Sonchus Arvense, l..

This dangerous weed, not mentioned in
Darlington's "American Weeds" and given
by Gray and Wood as "rare' and only oc.
curing in Eastern Massachusetts and about
New York, appears to be marching through
our agriculture from the seaboard, where
first it found footing from the Old World.
1t is already in Vermont, for l gathered last
summer a specimen in Vergennes for my
herbarium. 1t grows quite abundantly be-
side the wagon track in one of the by streets
Of the town. From LIE NaturaliSte Cana
diem learn that it is rapidly spreading over
the valley Of the st. Lawrence, and doing
great damage in many places. The case of
farmer Of Maskinonge is given, who was
unable to obtain $40 rental for a field which
had been wont to afford him 5000, and
only because it was infested with this weed.
1t is not thistle, as its name might lead
farmer to suppose, but it belongs to a ge-
nus closely related to the dandelion and
chiccory. The flowers closely resemble those
Of the dandelion in color, size, and construc-
tion but are borne on branching stalks from
one to two feet in hight, quite similarly to
the blue flowers of wild chiccory. The ap-
pearance Of the foliage is much like that Of
the dandelion, though much more luxuriant.
We have two species of SOnchuS long since
naturalized in this state, S. oleraceuS and
S. aSper,-rather common weeds with milky
juice, and upright stems which bear small,
yellow, tassel-like flowers and spiny, thistle
like leaves. From the last fact they receive
the name Of sow-thistle. Both are annual
plants, but this one, to which l wish to di-
rect attention, is perennial. Once establish
ed in the soil, it maintains its ground against
all other plants, and sends abroad, to plant
fresh fields, its seeds tufted like those oil the
dandelion and the thistles.

Cling with the herbage Of our grass lands,

mischief by imparting bad flavor to the

the roots before it scatters its seeds, and thus
to ward off its advances. But will he2

HARDY APPLE TREES.

1t is almost amusing to hear the yariously
conflicting opinions of different parties on
the fruit tree question in Northern New En-
gland and Canada. One believes that "the
apple tree is too tender for this climate, and
can be grown here successfully only when
grated on the crab root" while the actual
experience of his neighbor living in the same
school district or perhaps on an adjoining
farm, gives the lie to this kind of philosophy
by growing good fruit on good, strong,
healthy, grated trees on English apple roots,
simply because he has chosen hardy varie-
ties of trees, planted them on good ground
and taken care of them, while another neigh
Dor has tried few crab apple trees, of which,
though not many have died, the fruit is Of
such an abominablO quality that he considers
himself unfortunate and almost angry be-
cause they have not, for he has lost not only
the money and time expended upon them,
but also the opportunity of having his
ground occupied with good and valuable
trees and getting the growth on them, in-
stead Of those which are lin many instancesl
worse than nome
Another man will tell you that "grafted
trees are too tender, and nothing but seeding
trees will succeed in this northern climate ("

Cold Water In the slck-rOOnh.
Nothing could be clearer to the eye of
common sense than that thirst expresses a
need of the organism. A msnperspiring free
ly Graves water because his blood is parting
with its watery constituents; and drinks are
demanded for a similar reason in diseases,
such as cholera, attended with wasting dis
charges. A cholera patient once exclaimed
to me, pausing as she drank a glass Of ice-
water, " Doctor, every swallow is worth
hundred dollars" Cold beverages have the
effect in fevers of cooling down the body di.
rectly by contact, and subsequently by al
fording water for evaporation from the sur
face And hence it is that thirst becomes
the most intOlerable of all the cravings Of
patients laboring under fever or inflammation.
Children suffer immensely from thirst when
indisposed. Their means and cries, kept up
for hours together, often have their origin in
this distress, which they can express by no
language except these cries and it is Won
derfu to behold the relief frequently afford
ed by draught of cold water.
Tut Meat for Consuniptives.
\ taste for fat meat is unfortunately not
universal among children, but when it shows
itself it is often universally repressed by pa
rents. This taste is another expression Of
the wants Of the living system which we can
not disregard with impuuity. Without fats
the organism cannot be built up in perfec-
ton. Fats counteract the tendency to con-
sumption. Observation has established the
interesting fact that persons who in early
life show taste for fat meat seldom fall
victims to that disease and, rice versa, that
consumptiyes have generally shown an early
repugnance to such food. There can be no
question as to the lesson taught by this fact
that when the appetite exists it ought to
be indulged, ard that it ought, if possible, to
be created, when wanting, by tonics and
abundant exercise in the open air.
Why a Child Loves sugar.
The craving of children for sweets is well
known to be one of the most imperious of
their appetitcs' 1t has reference probably
to that ccaseess activity which especially
characterizes the age of childhood. 1t may
he that sugar performs in their systems the
part enacted by fatty substance in the bodies
of adults. As it undergoes oxidation-is
burnt up, circulating with the blood-it may
be the source of the power which enables them
to keep IN motion from morning to night
Besides this, it is known that it renders
easier and more perfect the digestion Of the
albuminous food upon which their growth
depends In respect to these offices it is
therefore essential to their wel-being. Aud
yet how strong, for generations, has been
the prejudice against sugar! Under what
difficulties, and in the face Of what discourage
mcnts and protests, have our children obtained
the luxury

CREAM HILL BREEDING FARMS.

In the northwest part Of the town Of
ShOreham is an elevated tract of land, the
approaches to which are Of so easy a grade
that no hill Of Importance has to be encoun-
tered in reaching the highest elevation on
the Hill, yet when the traveller is on the en-.
inence, the view up and down the Champlain
Valley is very extensive, and he wonders
how he came upon so fine prospect without
a more toisome climb to reach it, Why
this elevation was named Cream Hill is to
your correspondent unknown, but when one
has once become acquainted with the land,
its location, and its productiveness, he can
easily surmise how some former owner may
have come the self-satisfying conclusion that
he possessed the cream ofal the country round
about, conclusion that it would be easier
to dispute than to prove erroneous, for cer-
tainly few farms in Vermont are more fer
tile, or more beautifully located than the
"Cream Hill Breeding Farms" of Messrs
Bates & Harris, of Shoreham.
The buildings, which are extensive and
well built structures, make a fine appear
ance for miles as one approaches them by
the different roads leading to the farms, and
the view from there is one of the finest we
know. To the north the broad sweep Of
the Champlain Valley, from the Green
Mountains to the Adirondacks on the west,
and embracing Snake Mountain and glimpses
of the Lake, with large part of the towns
OF Bridport and Addison, with their fertile
farms, are in view. To the west lies two or
three miles of fertile, rich grazing lands be-
tween the hill and the lake, while
across the lake the towns of Port Henry,
Crown Point, and Ticonderoga are mapped
out, backed up by higher hills, and finally
by the lofty Adirondack Mountains. To
the southwest, and just across the lake, rise
those mountains around old III, and at the
head Of Lake George, SO famous in history.
To the south lie the fertile hills of Or
well, Hubbardton, and Sudbury, while to
the east far away, the higher peaks in the
Green Mountain range stretch from north to
south, with glimpses of parts of Salisbury
and Cornwall between. But although there
is a fine view of the Green Mountains on
the east, there are some high hills immedi.
ately east of the farm, that obstruct the
view in that direction of the intervening
lower lands lying between the farms and
the mountains. Altogether tho panorama
all around, viewed soon after sunrise on a
clear June morning, is magnificent aud we'll
worth long journey to enjoy, especially
with the generous hospitality of A. G. Har.
ris, Esq who lives upon the place and con.
ducts the operations of this extensive estab-
lshment ON a liberal scale,
The farm, which consists of about seven
hundred and fifty acres, nearly all in view
from the buildings, is most admirably adapt
ed to grass and stock raising.
The past season about 400 acres have
been moved, about 60 acres cultivated, and
the remainder, embracing small amount
Of woodland, is in pasture. In addition to
this, about 100 acres are rented from other

THE VALUE OF FOOD.

We copy the following sensible sugges.
tion from the Prairie Farmer for the pur-
pose of enforcing one of its main hints upon
all who have the care and feeding Of stock
1t is, that good care and good feed should
be given all animals during the feeding sea-
son. They need this moro now than they
will during the long warm days of March /;
for animals lose in flesh who are neglected
in either the matter Of caro- or feed during
the early winter-and no farmer with o
barn full of hay can afford to let his animals
lose flesh. This is the good advice of our
valuable cotemporary -
"No breeder should fail to bear in mind
that nearly all the benefit of abundant sum-
mer feed may be sacrificed in a few short
weeks of inattention or mistaken economy of
food in the fall and early winter. All loss
of flesh is loss of money, and in fine stock,
In the rearing Of which improvement is
sought, loss of flesh involves an "advance
backwards" Especially is this true of
Shorthorns and Herefords among cattle, and
of all other breeds of domestic animals
whose value is chiefly for their flesh
Thorough bedding is not more necessary
than thorough feeding and the latter means
full supply of nutritious food during the
animals life as breeder. Let no young
herdsman be deferred from persevering in
the practice of generous feeding by the bug
bear Of the forcing system Possibly ono
breeding animal in thousand is injured by
being fed too highly while not suffered to
take the neediul exercise; but If so, at least
five hundred in every thousand fail to i'm
prove in themselves or in their progeny, be.
cause their owners practice the ''natural sys-
tenn" Remember that nature does not i'm
prove. Noah took into the ark just as
good buffaos, camels, deer and domestic ami
mails as "nature" anywhere owns to-day.
Progress is in the corn.crib, the blue grass
pasture, and the never ceasing care of man,
be the blood what it may.

have imperfectly given some account of
the breeding operations on these farms.
These operations are having very marked
influence upon the stock not only of the
immediate neighborhood, but il is extending to
other states, mares having been sent not OH
ly from all the New England States, but
large numbers from New York, and be-
lieve from other states This success in
popularity must be very gratifying to the
proprietors, and what is Of more conse.
quence, the investment is proving very prof
table. We have been informed by Mr..
Harris that the receipts in 1872, for servic.
es OF stations, sales Of colts, and keeping
mares and colts were over $4,000.
Under the energetic management Of Mr..
Harris, while everything is conducted with
liberality, all is managed with economy, and
large portion of the receipts must be

this is one of the best paying farms in the
state.

BUTTER FACTORIES.

just now factory butter, like factory
cheese, brings an extra price. In butter fac
tories, as in cheese factories, superior class
of help is employed, and We think the ex-
ponses to the patrons are lightened and the
profits increased. We find it so among our
cheese factories, and no farmers wife who
has been once rid of cheese making would
be willing to return to the old method. 1t
would be just 80 with farmers wives, if the
farmers in the butter district were to once
adopt the factory system Of making butter
1t is such a relief to the family! And as
the sales are generally made oitener there is
the advantage Of always having ready mon
ey. The same mode Of dividing expenses
and the proceeds of sales may be employed
in butter factories that are employed in
cheese factories. Or company may be
formed to buy the milk. Or as we have
elsewhere suggested, only cream might be
taken to the factory. As to the buttermilk
and skinned milk, that may be fed to hogs
or calves. If the factory is to bo conducted
on the pro rata system, good way would
be to purchase calves or hogs, with the mon
ey of the patrons, taking those of the pat
ronS at fixed rate per pound, put them to-
gether and employ man to take care of
them. If any additional feed is needed, let
it be purchased with the common fund, by
an executive committee. In the fall, when
the calves and hogs are disposed of, let the
proceeds be divided pro rata. 1t seems to
US that this would give satisfaction, and we
know it would make freer, happier homes,
to get rid Of the care and drudgery of the
dairy. This, to us, is vital consideration,
and induces US to favor any kind Of prO6ta-
BILE association that will lift the burdens from
the backs of our women.-Utiea Herald,
