Home Again

On Saturday last, via the Peoria road,
Miss Elizabeth Whitsitt, daughter of Mr..
John Whitsitt, arrived from Europe,
where she has been on visit since July a
year ago. She left Queenstown on the
10th, in the steamer City of Montreal, and
arrived at her fathers house in Preemp
ton, on the 25th. The ocean passage was
pleasant, and the trip from New York vi;
Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburg ant
indianapolis very agreeable one. She i
in good health and quite glad to see Illinoi
again.

In a recent drive through Chippiannock
cemetery we were more than ever i'm |
pressed with the rare beauty of the place.
and felt like commencing anew the good
Judgment and foresight Of the gentlemen
who conceived the plan of purchasing the
grounds, and who, with their successors.
have made it the most lovely home of the
dead we have ever visited, except Green
wood. The natural beauty and variety of
the ground reminds one forcibly OF the
hills and winding drives in Greenwood.
And the adornments are every year becom-
ing more and more attractive. The num-
Der and variety and beauty Of improved
lots and fine monuments is yearly increas

and modest, unpretentious and unique

his deceased wife. When improved with
ornamental shrubs and flowers it will be
the most beautiful of all the lots in Chip

Haying Work.

The busy time Of all the year is now here
Haying drives, and the farmer must drive or
it will drive him. All depends on managing
work 30 as to keep all moving along harmo-
niously together. The men must be pro-
vided with work, and il must not all be
crowded into few hours in the afternoon.
The one important thing in haying is to ar
range it SO as to start the cart early ia the
day. If load Or two goes in before noon,
lot Of it can be slowed away before night.
Ii has for years been our custom to NOW
10 the afternoon, when the weather is prom
ising; starting at four or FIVE, or even six
o'clock and moving until dark sometimes.
The grass is then comparatively free from
dew, and will be dry hours before that
moved early in the morning If the farmer
has no tedder, the gain by moving at night
is more conspicuous. Heavy grass that is
full Of sap, and mown while drencbed with
dew, will rot on the ground before it is dry
If it is not stirred. If the grass can be
cured so as to be it TO cart when il is raked,
great saving of labor is made, and also
saving Of half the risk from injury to rain.
The quality Of the hay is better also. The
longer grass lies exposed 20 the sun in cur
ing. the poorer the quality of the hay. Every
one knows that if grass lies five or six days
bleaching 10 the sun it loses its fresh, green
color, and is nearly worthless. The deterio.
ration begins before farmers are conscious Of
it. The tedder, as we have before stated,
is a very valuable auxiliary in the hay field.
When farmer asks our advice as to buying
hay tedder, We always tell him, Eyes, by
all means, it will pay"
A great deal is said about curing hay in
the cock, but We confess 1t is something we
never could understand or accomplish. If
grass is full of water, or has moisture in it,
that would cause it to heat in the NOV we
never could make it cure in the cock. If
the moisture is all removed, we want it put
in the barn, and let il ''cure" there.
1t is frequently a great saving Of time to
put hay in the cock in the afternoon aud
cart it in the next forenoon. The cocks
should be rolled over in the morning after
the dew has dried off of them. With hay
teddcr and good weather we never have any
trouble in curing any grass, except clover, in
day, but the day must not begin at eleven
O'Clock in the forenoon.
There has been so much said on the sub
ject Of early cutting that we will not harp
upon It, though it is all important. The
doctrine is now generally accepted.
An excellent hay rack is made by having
curved stakes, so that the side pieces are just
above the wheels. A board foot wide
nailed on to the stakes inside prevents the
hay from scattering and keeps it out of the
wheels.
Horse forks and hay carriers are now per-
fected SO as to work admirably. A pair Of
horses or yoke Of oxen are needed for the
rope. They save man power.

Experiments in Pig Feeding.

The Country Gentleman prints an abstract
from Prof. Miles report Of his experiments
at the Michigan agricultural college, on pig
feeding.
The first series Of experiments were with
raw meal for the purpose of obtaining re-
liable standard Of the value of raw meal for
feeding to pigs. Forty-two pigs have been fed
over ten tons Of meal. The experiments
established the fact that young animals eat
more in proportion to live weight and that
they likewise require less food to make a
given increase of weight. 1t appears that
the animal capable of eating the most is the
most profitable. provided the digestive or.
gans are capable Of assimilating the large
amount of food and converting it into animal
products. In such cases the proportion Of
food required to supply the waste of tissues
and keep the animal machinery in working
order, is less than when the amount con-
sumed is but little. 1t is only, 10 fact, from
the excess Of food, over what is required for
repair Of the tissues, that profit in animal
products can be obtained.
The incorrectness Of the prevalent opinion
that the animals that consume the smallest
amount Of food are the most profitable, is
conclusively shown in the results of these
experiments.
The experiments were divided into periods
of four weeks each. Animals under six
months old consumed an average of 1854
pounds per week for each hundred pounds Of
live weight and made an increase Of one
pound of live weight for 4.O8 pounds of
meal, in term Of three months. Animals
over six months in age, consumed 1888
pounds for each 100 pounds live weight, and
made one pound increase for every 4.22 lbs
Of meal.
The digestive organs of the young animals,
did not fully adapt themselves to the work
required Of them until the second month.
The result showed that the digestive organs
of the older animals were over.tasked, 80
that towards the close of the trial they we're
unable to assimilate the food and mako as
great an increase in proportion to food con-
Sumsd, though there was no impairment of
health to Affect the appetite.
The fourth month showed rapid decrease
in the amount of food consumed, and cor.
responding increase in the amount Of meal

For the VERMONT FARMER.
Using Manures.

Mr.. EDITOR, Dear Sir II wish to say
few words through your paper in regard TO
the use and abuse Of the farmers best friend
manure Much is being said as to the
best mode OF making the greatest amount Of
manure at the least expense; but what is the
use OF making if we throw it into some pond
or brook, or what is just as bad, apply it in
such manner as to receive little or no ben
efit for one or two years. have found by
experience that manure should bc used ac.
cording to the laws of nature, aud that ma.
ture never burieS her fertilizers below the
surface Of the earth. You will infer from
what have said that am 10 favor of top.
dressing. So l am, but not IN the old.fash.
ioned way that farmers usually do for when
the manure is spread on the grass stubble in
the months of August and September, the
scorchlng sun dries it up, and at least one
half Of 1t is destroyed. Nature places her
manure on the surface, but at the same time
provides shelter-in the forest by her
trees ; on the prairie by the tall grass.
Now, as grass is without question the best
paying crop raised in Vermont, we should
make it speciality. Considering this, we
should not put all our manure on the corn
and potato crop, where every busheI raised
costs you Sl.25 when it cannot be sold for
over 81 per bushel but, instead of this,
apply small quantity to each hill, and
save the main portion for the ground you
wish to seed to grass and when seeding 10
grass, pillow the land 10 the fall aud il is
ready at any time during the winter to re-
ceive the manure.
Spread the manure from the sled or cart,
not leaving it in heaps as it is customary
with many farmers, taking care never to
haul any when there is over four inches of
snow on the ground and in the spring as
soon as you can get on with q team. After
tho snow is off, harrow it crosswise, once in
a place, and that covers it from the sun,
which will not cause it to bake, as it would
if there was no manure on the ground. Thus
covered, and partly mixed with the sod, the
earth takes the strength of the manure and
the effects will be twice as lasting as ii
spread on top and left exposed to sun and wind.
As the season advances, SOW the grain
and grass seed, taking care not to lose $40
in hay by saving one in grass seed, but put
on at least one.half bushel per acre and there
will be no reason to complain of light hay
crops In any common season. II.

Strawberries.

b. G. Smith stated at the meeting Of the
Massachusetts Horticultural society last
winter, that Of eight varieties Of straWber-
ries on clayey ground, well underdrained and
worked eighteen inches deep with heavy
dressing Of wood ashes leaf mould and barn
yard manure, the Jucunda all survived; two
plants Of Wilson, four of Triomphe de Gand
four of President Wilder, FIVE of Lady of the
Lake. six of Green Prolific, nine of Hovey's
Seeding and twenty of Charles Downing
died.
John B. Moore, Of Concord, said the
Charles Downing succeeded best on light
soil, and the Jucunda, President Wilder and
Triomphe de Gand on heavy soil. The
best manure is peat and ashes. Pure water,
on rich land, is better than liquid manure.
q. NJ. Hovey said some would grow on
any soil, others are fastidious. The Presi-
dent Wilder does no. do we'll en- sandy land,
but the Jenny Lind does best. From a
'uAo' pSuj Az @u Oiu SopaiaSuS ocu, NC hdu
raised at the rate of 10000 to 20, 1000 quarts,
per acre.
j. H. Woodford stated that he had OBJ.
ia ined the best results from the President
Wilder by allowing the plants to run together
and cover the whole ground but the Ju-
cuuda and Triomphe de Gand do best iu hills.
Mr.. Wilder uses a light frame and fills
it with plants nine by twelve inches apart,
keeping the runners cut of. They ripen
earlier.
Mr.. Garfield adopts a similar method,
puts on the frames March LIST, and does not
give streng heat; waters every sunny day
with warm water. Waters with liquid ma
uure when iu bloom, manures heavily, and to
this he attributes success. He sold 500
worth from quarter Of an acre open
ground.
