numerous for the stone work, so that
the Board was able to use no end Of

How Often to Feed Cattle.

To fatten steer in the shortest
time, he should be fed frequently.
Three times day are not enough.
Five times are better. A change of
food, and small quantities gwen often,
will fatten most rapidly. For instance,
at five o'clock in the morning give hay
and chopped roots; at eight some meal,
and then a little hay left in the rack !;
at noon some chopped roots sprinkled
with meal Or oil-cake; at four P. NJ.
some meal, and at night some chopped
hay and roots, mixed with a little M cal.
If the whole days rations are thus di-
vided, it will be found that more food
will be eaten and digested, and turned
into flesh and fat. An animal will
fatten much better is cleaned up in the
morning and not disturbed again, except
to be fed and watered, until next morn
ing.

How to Sleen-

Many persons get into habit of
Wakefulness at night, which is often
very wearing, and always annoying and
uncomfortable. Some cannot % to
sleep Till the small hours" of eight:
others will wake at three or four in the
morning, and cannot coax sleep again
until 1t Is just breakfast time. 4 writer
on sleep recomme lends such wakeful ones
TO try the effect of change. Go into an
other room, or move the bed into diff
1erent position, or lie with the head in
another direction. If you are Wing on
nigh pillow, fingit away; if your head
Is IS low, raise it. If you have been trying
to sleep without light, strike one: #

Wakefulness is often easily traced to
pm, steal causes. But if one cannot
sleep as much as he thinks he REQUIRES.
don't let him worry over it or think he
must necessarily be sick in conse-
quence. Lack Of sleep is bad, but dis
content Is worse. Let every one be
hankful for such amount of sleep as he
can obtain, and not fret because it is
not more.

The best Apples.

In an article by M. B. Bateham, in
the Country Gentleman, is the following
relative to the best varieties for family
use:
{" In naming the following list of ap-
pies for complete family supply, I in
clude only such as are found adapted
to most localities in the northern half
of Ohio, and the trees of which are for
sale at most of the nurseries. With
but very few exceptions, the some
kinds are known to do well in Western
New York and Pennsylvania, Northern
Illinois, Indiana, and Southern Michi-
gan. A few newer varieties, I think,
are superior to some of these, and l
should desire to include them in a
model orchard, but the trees may not
be easily found. Several of those NAM
ed are not kept at all nurseries, owing
to their slender growth, or not being
sufficiently known; and when trees
cannot be had, it is well to plant some
other kind of good growth, then the
next year send somewhere for scions
and top-graft them. The varieties of
each class are named in about the or

With proper culture, may be raised in
abundance at a reasonable cost, and
what is not wanted for immediate use,
can be easily cured, and makes excel
lent feed for winter. have tried diff
ferent ways Of cultivating sowed corn,
but have derived the largest and surest
results from the following method:
After planting my hoed crops (about
the LIST Of June, | pillow piece of sod
land, which needs cultivating and ma
nuring, and harrow thoroughly, then
mark out In drills nearly three feet
apart, as deep as can without blowing
up the sods. / SOW the corn in the
drills at the rate of two or three BUSH
els per acre, and follow with cart or
wagon, and apply manure upon the
corn as literally as can afford Fifteen
carloads or more per acre). then
cover the manure thus applied with
earth enough to cover it well. My la
Dor ends here until the corn is fit to
cut up, as l do not cultivate between
the drills. With this treatment I never
have failed with good seed, of getting an
ABUNDANT crop. / use any manure that
can scrape up about the barn yard,
barn cellar or pig.pen, without regard
to quality Or state of decomposition.
l plant the large varieties of sweet
corn In preference to all other kinds,
as my COWS relish it better, and it fur
nlshes more and richer milk than the
common field or southern corn. Ifeed
my COWS. at the stable, as much as they
will eat up clean. The corn should be
well tasseled out before it is fit to be
fed proftably. I am of opinion that it
adds to the value Of the corn to wilt it
partially before feeding. The land on
which the corn grows is thus we'll pre-
pared (by additional manuringl for
corn, potatoes, or other hoed crops, the
following season. Farmers who lack
good paaturage should not neglect to
raise piece of sowed corn to supply
the deficiency, even it does
cost little labor. It will pay hun
dred per cent. on this outlay. Scrape
the barn yards, pig-pens, and every
other place where shovelful of ma
nure can be got, and apply it as recon-
mended, and on any land adapted to
the growth of corn, heavy crop will
be an ample reward for the labor.

Wethersfield Red Onion

Our English cousins appear to have
just learned that there are good varie-
ties of onions raised on this side of the
Atlantic. The agricultural Gazette, in
referring to an old and well-known
variety, the Wethersfeld red, says:
During the past year the Royal Hor-
ticultural Society made trial of the
varieties of onion now in cultivation at
the Chiswick garden, and perhaps the
greatest novelty in the collection was the
variety above named, which was sent
for trial by Messrs. James Carter & Co..
Messrs. Berany & Son, of Erfurt, and
Messrs. Hovey & Co., an American
firm. It is officially described as being
of free robust growth. The neck is
small aud ripens off freely. Bulbs
large, aattened Or oblate, very even
and regularly formed, about twelve
inches In circumference and two inches
In depth. The outer skin is of a light
red color, and peels off freely, the in
ner coating being of light purplish,
shading greatly from the crown to the
base where it is very pale. The flesh is
pure white, the outer surface of the
coating only being colored. It is very
firm, solid, and Of mild and excellent
quality, and keeps we'll. Aremarkably
