Decay of Vermont Trout Brooks.

A writer in the Rutland Herald mention.
ing as causes the decrease Oftrout-overfsh-
ing, clearing land, covering spawning beds
with saw-dust etc, says:
Our suggestions have reference rather
to the larger accommodation and better pro-
lection of such fishes as remain, leaving it
to them for the most part to do the rest of the
work in their own normal and instructive
way. We arOUld restore as far
as possible these old barriers, or construct
similar ones, sometimes merely
telling trees into or across the beds of the
brooks in discriminating way, leaving the
filling up to time and drift, aud in other
cases completing the work with stones and
| brush. Here aud there large open pools,
which have no shelter from the sun or hid
ing places for fish, could easily be made
nhabitabe by rolling in from the bank a
few boulders, or so planting stones as to
make shelter Aud lastly, the
small spring runs and other places which
are known as spawning-grounds, and the
nurseries of the young fry, should be so
protected that they cannot at any time be
reached by the hook Of the fisherman. In.
deed, so much faith have we in the protect.
i've virtues Of brush judicously placed, from
time to time, that we venture the assertion
that a single AK, vigorously but wisely wiel-
ded for day along the banks of any ordin,
airy trout brook, would do more for the
protection, increase aud growth of trout il
that stream for the next three years than
any law, though stringent even to prohibi,
tion. But we would never have tree OF
bush along the water course cut down except
for good and sufficient reasons-nevor il
mere wantoness, never to spoil fishing, bul
always in the long run to help it. Tht
practice, which is so common, of entirely
clearing away the willows and alders which
naturally fringe the meadow brooks, is no
only very destructive one to the fish, but
in the end, undoubtedly does more harm
than good to that very nterest-olten called
we believe, good husbandry-whch prompt

Quality of Guernsey Butter.

Mr. NJ. g. Weld Of Massachusetts, who
has made recent visit to the Channel Is
lands and imported cattle for other parties
makes the following statements in long
article in the Country Gentleman.
was greatly disappointed with the quail
ity of both Jersey and Guernsey butter, as
it appears in the market aud upon the hotel
tables. 1t is not thoroughly worked is gen.
orally full of buttermilk, and of course not
waxy and firm as it ought to be. The color
of Jersey butter varies a good deal that Of
Guernsey may vary also, but it is generally
Of the richest yellow that can be, and is
never colored as | was repeatedly assured,
and have no reason to doubt. One of the
officers of the agricultural society, and
magistrate. assured me that colored butter
is not known in the island. The price |
found to be about 20 to % pence (i5 cents
a poundl, while 10 Jersey the price is IL
Tor II centsl. 1t is made with very
little SALT and when quite fresh is sweet and
well favored, but rarely high favored, as
first rate butter ought to be. 1t is usually
marketed in pound pats LAID upon cabbage
leaves, and the pound is about ten per cent
heavier than ours. 1t is difficult to learn
the amount Of butter given by any particular
COW, for, as with us, few farmers will take
pains to keep milk separate and weigh the
butter made by one COW for week or for
three and half days. The prevalent sys-
TEN, or more accurately common practice
is to milk three times day, sending either
the noon or the nights milk to market, and
keeping the mornings milk which is more
than one.third, for butter, or sending the
night and mornings milk to the city, retain
ing only the MONDAY milking for home use.
would be glad to enlarge upon Guernsey
hospitality, the profnsion of beautiful flowers,
the tasteful gardens, luscious fruits, and the
wild, romantic scenery, which, as one ap-
proaches the coast, offers such striking con-
trasts with placid rural scenes, but cannot

How to Milk Clean.

1t is sometimes great mistery to farmers
why their cows dry up prematurely. They
are unable to discover any cause for the fact.
The following experience of fellow sufferer
may be suggestive to them. 1t is our belief
that many poor cows may be accounted for
by a similar cause.
A market gardener near Boston had a
very fine COW that was MIXED week and week
by two hired men, lie observed that the
amount Of butter he carried to market
weighed about a pound more on each alter.
nate week. lie watched the men and tried
the COW after they had finished milking,
but always found that there was no milk
left in the teats. lie finally asked the
Scotch girl who took care Of the milk, if she
could account for the difference "Why
yes" said she, "When Jim miks, he says tC
the old COW, 80, my pretty little muIly, so !;
but when Sam milks, he hits her on the hip
with the edge Of the pail, and says Hist

Fancy Fowls for Farmers.

A writer in the Live Stock Journal dis
courses as follows on the comparative value
OF thoroughbred and common fowls for far
mcrs.
The majority of farmers believe that keep
ing hens is a branch Of their business in
which profit and loss are so nearly balanced
as to make it extremely uncertain upon
which side Of the ledger the largest figures
will stand. Their hens just about pay their
expenses, and that is all that can justly be
SAID of them Still very few farmers keep
pure-booded fowls, and the question arises,
would they find it more profitable to keep
fancy stock ? Ii the ordinary barn-yard
fowls (the half.breeds and the various mix
lures Of good, poor aud indifferentl which
are generally kept, fail to return to their
owners an appreciable profit, will thorough
/ breds do any better
1t seems to me that this will depend very
much upon the care which the owner takes
Of them and the circumstances by which the
are surrounded. If they are to be who'll!
neglected in regard to food, shelter, etc, i
will make but little difference with the profit
| OF tue DuslnehS NhelneI tne Dest DIoous al
kept or no breeds at all. But if they ar'
provided with suitable food and protection
there is no doubt that some breeds will re
turn larger profit than others. Very muc
will also depend upon what the owner want
Of his hens If he wants to obtain larg
numbers of eggs and does not care to rails
chickens, he will want different breed lroI
what he would if his main object were to oil
tain poultry.
But whether, in either case, there is an
necessity OF getting fancy, high.priced stock
is question to which many breeders retuT
an affirmative reply, but which should at
swer in the negative. There is no need {
paying from ten to seyenty-fve dollars eae
for fowls to keep on the farm nor is it al
solutely necessary to keep pure.bred hens
order to obtain the highest rate
profit which these creatures can be made
I furnish. But it Is best to secure hardy AT
well.iormed fowls, and to select them vii

special reference to the object in view. Any
dsinterested persons will readily admit that
the Brahmas are better for poultry than the
Black Spanish, and that a mixture of Brah.
mas and Leghorns and Dorkings might,
when fat chickens are wanted for the mar.
ket early in the season, be better than the
pure-bred fowls. An impartial judge would
decide that good fowls are not all Of them
thoroughbred.
Many years ago my father kept a lot of
hens in which the white Dorking blood pre-
dominated, although they were far from be-
ing pure-bred. Tsey we're fine layers and
nice for poultry. For some time l have
been keeping, on the farm my father ocCu-
pied, some Brown Leghorn hens, for the
original stock Of which | paid ten dollars
each. Part Of the original stock are still in
my yards. They are very handsome, good
layers, and | have no fault whatever to find
with them But to keep on a farm, l do
not believe they are any better than my
fathers hens, which he valued at only a
dollar each. 1t does not pay for farmers to
buy fancy fowls, or oven to purchase their
eggs think they can get good stock much
cheaper. Ii the hens which farmer has do
not suit him, be can generally obtain eggs Of
some neighboring farmer from which he can
grow better stock. The cost will be slight,
and if proper care is used in making the se-
lection, great improvement can thus be made.
The majority of farmers will agree that ten
dollars each is altogether too high a price

William Meleniy, Jeffersonvllc, writes to
the FARMER that he thinks the tenants argu.
ment sound and right, and the decision of
the arbitrators wrong, in the pig question,
raised in the FARMER of April 2Sth. But
"if the tenant had raised four pigs on the
farm and left the four on the farm at the
end Of the year, that would make 1t right"
Why did he not raise four pigs, then
Whose business was it to raise them if not
his? What did the tenant do with the
milk, potatoes and corn that four pigs would
have eaten up to the time they were year old,
provided he had raised them? Did he sell
them aud take half the proceeds himself ?
How is the farm stock to be maintained il
the tenant does not raise young animals to
take the places Of those which mature and
are disposed Off Will Mr.. Melendy give
sound answers to these questions.
