The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-04-22

All would, when the day is done
And leaw my cares behind me,
could have such pair of winsome eyes
Searching the night to find me!
Around the Farm.
The Rural World says that when
sweet potatoes are transported the roots
should be puddled in a mortar made of
cow-dung and earth about as thick as
cream. This prevents willing and causes
ready growth.
P. L. CALKNs, near Iowa City, Iowa,
from March II to Dec. 81, 1874, made
2,127 pounds of butter from an average
of twelve COWS, four of them heifers, and
five ever twelve years of age. During
the summer they received no other feed
than grass from the prairies. The butter
was sold for s638.
HARRIS LEWIS, now President of the
New York State Agricultural Society, is
known to be strong advocate of the
economy of cultiyating root crops. He
! is reported, after trying numerous varie
ties, to now cultivate only the Long Red,
| Osoitl, and Yellow Globe Mangels tgiv-
ing preference to the Long Red), and the
huuUC oWccb NlcIlldil Gtlllllpo.
AT a late meeting of farmers in Massa-
chusetts one man from New Hampshire
related his experience with mare, which
had, in nine years, besides paying for her
own keeping, and two colts of hers which
he still held, enabled him by her colts
which he had sold, to pay 50, 800 mort
gage on his farm, and also paid the ex-
| Tlansac of his aon in oo11apo
The following is a striking comparison
of the respective interest in sheep indus
try in the great progressive agricultural
nations of the world-England, France,
and the United States. The number of
acres is given, also the sheep kept
Great Britain and Ireland. 100000 34,OO0OOO
France; 's9o0o9 ~ w 0s9
If the United States supported as many
sheep per acre as Great Britain, her num-
Der of sheep should rise from %, 600, 900
to $50, 900, 600.
FARMERS, grade up your stock /; if you
do not feel able to buy and breed thor
