LENGTH OF TINE Cows SHOULD BE
MIXED. five months after calv-
ing, there is great difference in the
quality of cows milk as compared with
that of one lately calyed. The milk of
a COW newly-calved not only contains
more butter, but the butter exists in
large globules, and is more easily chuIn-
ed than afterwards. After five or six
months the cream is much smaller in
quantity, but it changes in character;
the globules are very small and exist as
an emulsion with the milk rather team
as separate part of it. In the souring
of milk, alcohol is formed by the decom-
position of the sugar or milk; the alco-
hol forms an emulsion with the cream,
and as this is butter in the churn, it
foams up and froths over, but makes no
butter. Hence the reason why it takes
so much longer to churn late in the fall
and in early winter than in the spring.
When this season occurs, and the cream
froths up in the churn, and butter will
not come, patience ceases to be a virtue,
for it is useless The cream might as
well go into cakes and puddings or be
thrown TO the hogs.

HOW MUCH STOCK TO AN ACRE.

Many interesting experiments have
been tried by our farmers at various
times to determine the highest feeding
capacity of an acre of ground, and some
very remarkable results have been re-
ported; but precisely what the best at
tainable results are is still an open ques-
tion. Probably some of our numerous
readers can shed some light on this sub
ject from their own experience.
Whether ten acres of ground of aver
age fertility will keep more or less than
that number of cattle. carrying them
through the year in good condition, is a
question of no little interest, for it is
closely related to the prosperity of hus-
bandry.
One thing at least is certain. If we
take what has been considered the aver
age experience of farmers Oh this subject
it will be found TO fall very much below
the higher results actually reached by
the skill and perseverance of some of
the point we wish TO get at. Why do
the average results of our husbandry in
variably fall so far low below the
achievements of some of the leading
men? Of course we cannot expect that
all will rise to the level of the highest.
But why do SO many fall behind, and so
far behind? IL one man by adding
brain-power to his muscular force can
make an acre support two or three COWS,
is there any sufficient reason why anoth-
er should require two or three acres to
support one2 We should like TO receive
from farmers some account of what
they have accomplished in this direc
ton; and also from what particular crop
or kind of food an acre can be made to
produce the greatest amount of actual
nutriment, or feeding value.

HOW TO PREPARE PRODUCE.

The advantage of presenting an arti
Gle in good style upon the market can
hardly be over-estimated There is
fine art about preparing produce, and
its practice is profitable. The eye of the
consumer is always an avenue to his
taste. Trade, yielding a continuous
profit, has often been established by rep
resenting an article in neat, attractive
form, and maintained by an observa-
ticn of the same general characteristic.
The Fruit Growers Association is
aware of this fact, and one of its avow-
ed objects is to place their fruit upon
the market in uniform and attractive
packages. II this alone should be eff
fected the Association would have occa-
sion to be satisfied with their work.
We notice that the honey producers
of San Diego county have formed a de-
termination TO place their honey on the
market in more attractive form. They
will find their sales greatly increased by
it. Honey is a luxury, and must needs
win the purchaser, where a staple food
supply would command him. 1t must
please and attract its custom.
And the increase in profit from taste
In arrangement will be seen in other
products than honey ami fruit. Dairy
produce is capable of the most artistic
adornment as well as plain, handsome
purity and cleanliness, and SO are near
ly all tile food supplies coming from the
farm.
This is not fiincifui consideration; it
is a tangible business question, which can
be determined in gold and silver. Every
producer should bear it in mind. and
-coutrive ways in which he. in his own
special line, can gain its positive re-
wards.-Er.

SEED FAILURES.
The following are some of the princi-
nal causes of failure of seeds:

The following are some of the princi-
pal causes of failure of seeds:
1. Some cultiyators, through ignor-
ance or forgetfulness OF the fact that tine
products Of a garden, being natives OF
various soils and climates, require pecu-
liar management, deposit their seeds in
the ground at an improper season. The
early aad most hardy species and vari
eties should not be planted until the
ground can be brought into good condi-
ton, a. some species of plants that in
an advanced stage of growth will stand
hard winter. are often cut off by very
slight frost while young, especially if ex-
posed to the sun after frosty night
=. Some species of seed, such as bean,
beet, cabbage, lettuce, radish, satisfy,
turnip, &c, being from their nature apt
to vegetate quickly. are often destroyed
while terminating, through variableness
Of the weather, and some are liable to
be devoured by insects in As hours after
they are sown, and before plant is seen
above the ground, unless a suitable rem
edy is applied ia time to annoy the in
sects.
3. Some species, as carrot, celery,
leek, onion, parsley, parsnip, spinach,
&C., being naturally of tardy growth,
taking Gin unfavorable seasons) from.two
to three or four weeks to vegetate, are
apt to perish through incrustation of
the soil, or other untoward and unac-
countable circumstances which cannot
always be controlled.
4. The failures often occur through
seeds being deposited too deeply in the
ground, or left too near the surface.
Sometimes, for want of sufficient of seed
in given spot, solitary plants will per-
ish, they not having sufficient strength
to open the pores of the earth, and very
frequently injudicious management in
manuring and preparing the soil will
cause defeat.-Dreer Circular.

WORK THAT CAN BE DONE IN WIN.
TER.

In addition to the necessary daily
work that the farmer has to perform
in winter, in feeding and caring for his
stock, there is another class of work that
h should attend to, and that is in do
inc such work as can be done in spring
anG summer. IL farmers would ask
themselves, in winter, what can we now
do to help along spring and summer
work, and give the matter careful con-
sideration, they would be surprised at
the amount of work that could be ac-
complished, leaving just so much less to
be done hereafter. In this open wealth
er that we now have, piowing can be
done to best advantage, and for an oat
crop, plowing must be done soon; for,
unless oats are sown early, there is gen.
orally very poor crop. If grass seed
or clover seed is to be sown. early seed
ing is very desirable, and plowing should
be done. And for corn land, plowiDg,if
now well and deeply done, is all the bet
ter, as the clay turned up and exposed
to the frost and atmosphere, is greatly
benefited thereby.
More or less fencing has to be done
every spring and summer, and this is
good time now, not only TO make the
rails, but to make the fence and thus get
the work out of the way. It is also a
good time to make and hang gates, SO
that every field on the farm may be
entered with but little trouble. Wood
may be chopped and hauled to the house
and cut into fire-wood, so that the work
will not have to be done in summer 1t
is also good time for removing logs and
and stumps and stones from the fields,
and for clearing up woodlands and SOW
ing them to blue and orchard grass, and
thus get them in productive state.
When the weather is stormy, the
workshop and Toulouse may be entered,
and needed repairs made to the imple-
ments, and new coats of paint put ON
such as need it.
This is also a good season for breaking
the colts and steers. and getting them
ready to work in spring.
The ground may also be prepared for
orchards, the stakes set, and then the
holes dug and the trees carefully plant
ed. IL the farmer will put ON his think
ing cap he will think of hundreds of
things that can be done in winter that
otherwise would have TO be done in
summer when other work was pressing.

is overstocked with scrubs. Now, can
not some one tell us how we farmers can
raise really first class horses for general

load, or take "A family carriage eight or
ten miles an hour; that can work six

such horses be bred with any certainty

To OBTAIN FRUIT FROM BARREN
TREES.-A correspondent of the Ameri-
can Agriculturist says:-''I wish to de-
scribe to you a method of making fruit
trees bear that 1 bIundered on. Some
fifteen years ago had small apple tree
that leaned considerably. | drove
stake by it, tied a string to IA limb, and
fastened it to the stake. The next year
the tree blossomed full, and not another
blossom appeared op the tree, and, as
Tim Bunker said, it sot Inc a think
ing, and / came to the conclusion that
the string was SO tight that it prevented
the sap returning to the roots, conse
quently it formed fruit buds. Having
couple of pear trees that were large
enough to bear, but had never blossom
ed, took a coarse twine and wound it
several times around the tree above the
lower limbs, and tied it as tight as /
could. The next Spring all the top
above the cord blossomed as white as a
a sheet, and there was not one blossom
below where the cord was tied. A neigh
Dor, seeing my trees loaded with pears,
used this method with the same result.
| think it is a much better way than cut
ting off the roots IL early Summer, say
in June of July, wind strong twine
sever Il times around the tree, or a single
limb, and tie it, the tighter the better,
and you will be pleased with the result;
the next Winter or Spring sle cord may

PAPER BLANKETS A suggestion that
has frequently been made in the news
papers that a sheet of brown paper used
as bed-covering between or on the top
of other wrappers, will impart addition
al warmth and be a. Serriceable as a
blanket, has been acted upon by an
Englishman who has taken cut patent
for paper blankets They are perforated
at distances of about four inches, in or
der TO promote the ventilation which
the density of the brown pIper materi
ally interrupts. These paper blankets
will be great boon to the poor, and as
they are clean, economical. and ready
for use in any emergency, they will be
acceptable in hospitals, for the supply
of which the inventor has already OBJ
tanned two or three contracts. In schools
and private families their cleanliness
and comfort will bring them into much
service. and in hot climates, where
blankets are liable to oe infested with in
sects, these paper coverlets will be
found to be very desirable. They will
also be welcome for being light as well
as eficient.

ASHES AND MANURE.-The saving of
wood ashes and their application to the
soil is part of the business of the farm
ers, and there is no part of his business
that will pay him so we'll During the
greater part of the Winter, a portion of
his business should be the manufacture
of manure, and its preparation for ap-
plication to the land in the spring, with
the least possible waste of time and the
labor of his teams Ashes being a very
active and concentrated manure, can
always be used to enrich the coarser and
less valuable materials, of which the
compost heap must contain large pro-
portion. Even leached ashes can be US
ed in this way to an unlimited extent.
the lime which they contain is of itself a
very material addition, of high value,
because it has been reduced by the action
of the fire to such fine powerd that it
readily comes in contact with the materi-
al with which it is surrounded. The
chemical action induced by the two
articles, potash and lime, aids also in
generating heat in the manure heap, and
to put in action the changes which re-
duce the raw manure to that condition
which makes it of the utmost value as
fertilizer, which not only yields food to
the crops, but by its action on the unfer-
tile soil, also reduces it into a better
condition to sustain vegetable growth,
and develop an increased production of
