CONDUCTED BY ALBERT CHAPMAN
To Farmers.

The following circular addressed to
correspondents of the Agricultural Blu
reau, explains itself. We trust the
farmers of Addison county will do their
part in making the agricultural exhi-
bition at the Centennial CO .nplete.
U. 8. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
WASHINGTON, October Is, 1875.
SIR:-You are doubtless aware that
the Government proposes to take part
In the International Exhibition at
Philadelphia next season, and that
this Department will be expected to IL
lustrate the agriculture of the United
States, showing the resources of the
country in this branch of industry.
Although the Museum of the De-
partment has made substantial be-
ginning in this direction, the collec-
ton is still very incomplete, and we
must therefore ask producers TO mid us
in the work.
In order to make the collection of
grains and cereals In the Museum
more complete, you are solicited to Sc
lect and procure within the next two
months, samples of the most popular
varieties of grain grown in your sec
ton, as of wheat, rye, barley, oats, and
maize or Indian corn, and forward
them to the Department.
There should be one quart of each
sample Tor two ears of CORN selected as
an average sample, free from dirt, and
must I've true to name. The samples
should he securely placed in separate
bags, with one of the enclosed labels,
made out as follows LIST. Name, (of
variety y I'd. Locality, (town, coun-
ty, and state; Sd, Producer; 4th, Do
nor 5tb, Remarks, as yield per acre,

All express charges will be paid here.
am, respectfully,
FRED'K WATTS.
Commissioner of Agriculture.

prepare their samples in accordance
with the foregoing instructions and
leave them Fat the Register" office
and they will be promptly forwarded,

Profits of Corn Raising.

Hon. Moses Humphrey of Concord,
n. H., recently read an essay before
the New Hampshire State Board of
Agriculture, on the profit and culture
of the corn crop" and among other
things said:
He believed that corn could be raised
in New Hampshire at a profit, and at a
cost of forty-one cents per bushel, as
shown by his own experiments in the
following statement on three and sew
en-eighths acres of land, actual meas
urement;
81 days work ,one man and two horses, $l.4o0
days work, one man and one horse,
marking out and cultivatng 800
days work, planting, l2.sO

Interest and taxes, 2l00
Total tlsl.76
$50 bushels corn at Al cts. Sll416
Corn fodder sold 600
Total Sl8l.76
The above certainly makes q good
showing, Formerly a great deal of
corn was raised in New England but
latterly the farmers have come to be-
leve it more profitable for them to buy
their corn from the West, and raise
other crops that they regard MS more
profitable. Now the Western corn, as
we get it in The market, costs from sew
enty cents to { dollar a busbel, and If
il can be raised here for forty-one
cents, or any such sum, we are certain
ly acting very foolshly in rejecting il
as crop. If it can be raised for that
sum in New Hampshire, it certainly
can be in every other of the New Eng
land States at something less-except
Maine because in Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut, larg-
er variety may safely be raised, as the
seasons are little longer than in New
Hampshire. This subject is one of
great Importance, and should receive
mott careful consideration. We hope
to give more information on this sub
iect. and do most earnestly wish some
of our readers who raise corn would
give us the results of their experience
and observation.

Can Chambers BE Cureds

To deny that certain number of cases OF
CHAMBERS recover would be rather reckless
assertion in the face of occasional instances OF
recoveries, and of frequent recoveries from
farcy, which is but the same disease with its
local manifestations confined to the skin.
On the other hand, it must be acknowledged
that recoveries from acute CHAMBERS or farcy
in horses are very rare indeed, and that of
apparent Iecoveries from chronic CHAMBERS a
large proportion are unreliable, as the dis
ease breaks out again whenever the animal
is put to hard work. In the interval
between the apparent cure and the
relapse the horse is allowed by the over
confident owner to mingle with other horses,
and many instances might be adduced of the
destruction of whole studs by CHAMBERS con-
tracted from the subjects of such alleged
cures.
Considering this, together with the fact
that the loalhsome, painful and fatal disorder
is communicable to man by incubation,
there is good ground for questioning the
economy or morality of treating even chronic
CHAMBERS. Among the remedies which have
at different times succeeded might be men
toned long list of tonics; but perhaps the
best is the arsenity of strychnia, in doses of
five grains daily. Bi-sulphate of soda may
be added in dracl1m doses, twice daily. The
fumes of burning sulphur may be inhaled at
Inc same intervals, Tor half an hour or more
at time, care being taken not to have it so
concentrated as to cause irritation, coughing
or sneezing. FIually tee engagements under
the jaws may be rubbed daily with iodine
ointment. to be stopped when the skin be-
comes very tender.
A comfortable dry box and perfectly pure
air, with sound and highly nourishing diet,
are all important. In summer the patients
do best in the open air, on rich grass. If
kept indoors. they should have regular exer-
else, but no work. Such exercise should be
given in private, secluded place; no CLAN.

We feel that in giving some account of
translucent cloth hot-beds, to be employed
instead of the expensive glass frames in gen.
eral use, we are doing all our gardening read
ers service We can vouch for the value of
the "German hot-beds," having tried them
very successfully many years ago. For fore
ing melons, tomatoes, etc. this prepared cloth
is specially adapted, as it can be tackled to
boxes of any size required and cut to fit them,
Little rough square boxes of the proper size
and height. covered with this prepared cloth,
can be placed over the hills in which toma-
toes, melons, or other seeds are planted, and
the plants allowed to stand, without trans.

when the boxes may be taken off and packed
away carefully for another season.
Take white cotton, of a close texture,
stretch, it and nail it on frames of any size
you wish; mix two ounces of lime water, four
ounces of linseed oil, one of white of eggs
separately, two ounces IF yolks of eggs; mix
the lime and oil with very gentle heat, beat
the eggs separately and mix with the former.
Spread the mixture with paint brush over

The heat entirely arises from below, is eq-
liable and temperate, which is great object.
The vapor arises from the manure and earth,
is condensed by the cool air passing under
the surface of the shade, and hangs in drops
upon the inside, and therefore the plants do
not require so frequent watering. If the
frames or stretchers are made large. they
should be intersected with cross bars about
foot square, to support the cloth. These ar
ticles are just the things for bringing forward

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
When should the Cows of Butter Dairy
Galve4

Calves
Mr.. EDITOR For the man who has a
cold, open barn, with nothing but husks,
straw, swamp or late cut hay to feed
who leaves his chores all to the boys, and
had rather his cows would go dry four or five
months than to bother with milk in winter, I
would, by all means, recommend the first of
May; but for the farmer who has good
warm barn, and is willing to take good care
of his stock-one that would not mind get
ting up cold night to look after a young
calf-and if he has plenty of early cut hay
to feed, with little grain, and wants to
to make the most milk and butter he can,
would consider the first cf February as the
best time of the whole year for his cows 10
calve. I find that cows that calve in the
winter, if fed with all the early cut hay they
will eat night and morning and are fed from
two to four quarts of shorts and half as much
meal per day, scalded and given warm in wa
ter, will give as much milk in winter as in
the summer on good pasture. By having
them cave the first of February and feeding
as indicated, we can obtain large flow Of
milk, which, if properly handled, will make
excellent butter, and after three or four
months of barn feed, when they begin TO
shrink little, we have the flush feed of May
and June to turn them into, which will in
crease their milk again. Then, in the fall
we have our fodder corn, pumpkins, cabbage
and root tops to feed, with which to keep up
the flow of milk until winter sets in, about
the last of November, when it will be time to
dry them off, so they may go dry two months,
which will bring them around to the first of
February again. I find that cows that calve
in the winter or spring will invariably shrink
when winter sets in, and it is hard to keep
up satisfactory flow of milk in the short,
cold days of December, and what milk we do
obtain will not make as good butter as milk
from new mich cows the butter globules are
small and the butter often will not come until
after tedously long spell at churning. The
cows that calved late in the spring will not
give much more in the fall months than those
that calved in the winter, and both will dry
off nearly together. am satisfied from my
own experience, that by this system, can
obtain one-fifth more milk in the year than by
the old system of having them calve in April
or May. Aside from the increased flow of
milk it is quite an advantage to have the
calves come cary, whether intended for the
butcher, or to raise, they have the advantage
of longer time to receive milk before the
feed is ready for them in the pastures. The
late calves are apt to be neglected, or weaned
and turned off too young, and seldom make
as good yearlings as early calves.-COr. Neao
