Hens are next to q COW in family for
profit, and if they are properly fed and cared
for in winter will yield larger profit than
in summer. Years ago such thing as keep.
ing hen laying all winter and having a

affair, but now in many farm houses such is
the case, and it is easy enough to do it.
They should not be allowed the range Of all

deprive fowls OF water 10 winter. They
need it as much as cattle do and will drink
it with as good relish. A tin pan or iron
bowl is good thing to give water in. The
frozen water is easily thawed from them, aud

In other states the farming interest has
increased in value in many parts Of this
state it has declined, from want Of men to
man the farms While the methods Of farm
ing have improved, the number Of farmers
has diminished and the value Of farms depre-
ciated, SO that in many cases the selling
value is less than 1t was forty years ago,
An Increasing number OF farmers would keep
up the price OF farms; a decreasing number
depreciates tho price aud other branches Of
industry suffer in sympathy. The principal
cause Of this decline is the wholesale emigra-
ton which has swept SO many away from the
state. A better knowledge Of facts concern.

For the VERMONT fARNER.
A Successful Farmer.

Ou reVeut "TRIP tnTough rfauNHn county
l had the privilege of enjoying The hospital.
ity of my friend Myron Waller of Georgia.
HIS farm of 800 acres is situated on the lake
shore about one-half mile south of the old
Georgia dock. Mr. Waller gives his whole
attention to the management of his farm and
dairy, and Is trying to make farming pay.
In this | think he is successful, as the fig
ures which be gave me will tend to prove.
He keeps dairy Of thirty cows, consisting
OF grade Shorthorus, Ayrshires aud Jerseys.
The Ayrsbires seem to be his choice, al
though he had recently purchased a full
blood Shorthorn bull calf seven months old,
which was a splendid animal, weighing about
700 pounds. He has taken great paius in
selecting his cows, and has the best looking
dairy OF grade cows that ever saw; says
that he cannot afford to keep poor COW.
He uses q milk tester, aud knows the per.
centage Of cream of all his cows. He showed
me several that gave Is per cent cream, aud
has none that gives less than II per cent.
When he 6rst begau to test his milk he had
several that did not give more than eight per
cent.
He is a good feeder and believes that it
pays to feed grain. At the time was there,
about December 8, he was feeding his cows
no hay, keeping them on straw and feeding
TO twenty y.seven cows six bushels OF potatoes
at night, and two quarts OF shorts apiece in
the morning. His cows were in fine condi.
tion, and making over one hundred pounds Of
butter per week He has sold over 1900
worth Of butter the past year; the year be-
fore he sold $4,000. He uses the large
dry pans, and has trench leading from the
lake shore to his milk room, through which
he gets a current Of cold air which works
well, but does not quite satisfy him. Next
year he intends TO try the experiment Of
cooling his room with ice. In one corner OF
his milk room he has refrigerator where he
keeps his butter aud cream, and it is kept SO
cool that it requires no ice for churning in
the warmest weather. He uses one of Gray.
horse powers, and box churn about four
feet square for churning III which he some.
times churns four tubs of butter at time
| tie sends his butter TO market, and thinks
he can do better than by selling at home
On going into his granery 1 found large
bin of oats of his own raising, also abou
sixty bushels of wheat, eighty Of barley aud
a large bin Of nice corn, which they have nj
trouble 10 raising on the lake shore as they
are not troubled by early frosts. He haC
just purchased quantity pf shorts at abou
$500 per ton less than the retail price, ow
ing, l suppose, to the fact that he was
granger.
l send you the above statement, not as 1
puff for my friend, for he does not seek no
toriety, but rs a stimulant to my brother
farmers, believing that il we would Civ,
more attention to the improvement anC
breeding oi stock and the manufacture o
butter, learning and pro6ting by the expert
ence of others that we should hear less o
that cry that now so often sounds in our ear
that farming does not pay. II. q. W.

On the 9th day Of January, 1875, Mr.
Henry Winslow of Putney bought yoke Of
oxen weighing 1850 pounds. They we're
fed with fair quality of early cut hay and
about one bushel each of Swedes, until the 9th
of March following, when they weighed 5000
pounds, gain oil $50 pounds, or l75 each,
in 62 days, nearly three pounds a day. Mr.
Winslow said they could not have eaten corn
meal enough to make them gain so fast. He
regards an acre Of turnips as worth much
more than an acre of corn for stock.

the habit of deciding matters fully in his own
