AFTER THE FARMERs.-Farme

AFTER THE FARMERs.-Farmers
should be on their guard, A new
dodge ofswindling has been put in ope-
ration. Several strange men drive
through an agricultural district. They
stop at all the farm houses and make
q contract to take all the butter the
farm can furnish at 80 cents per pound.
Further, it will be gathered up by fast
special teams and the cash paid for il
At the door. The pretense is that
during the fall and winter, the large
cities will be overcrowded and that
butter will be scarce. In this way all
the farmers in o district are contracted
with, and arrangements are made to
come for the butter on certain days
and at certain points the contract to
60 into effect In two weeks. A few
days after the departure Of the men q
drove of cows come along. They are
fine looking milch cows. Tho farmers
having agood thing in view think they
might use o few more cows. They try
70 buy them and the drover dosen't
seem TO be anxious to sell. Finally,
however, he IL induced 70 sell two or
three TO each farmer at prices con.
siderably higher than tho real market
value. He then departs, meets his
partners, who put up the butter lob,
and they devide thcir proAts, This l.

A CHEAP Ice HOUSE, NO farmer
should be without an icc house, be.
cause IL 10 absolutely necessary in
every family to preserve meat and
other things in tho Summer season.
| once knew q farmer who drew few
tons of ice in large square cakes, and
packed them upon few rails near his
house, TO keep the ice from the ground
with bed ofstraw between and upon
the rails. After the ice had reached
a height eight feet, with diameter OF
ten feet, he covered IL two feet thick
with straw, top and sides and then eet
some boards up so rs to shade the ice
and carry of the rains and that ice
kept till December. This shows that
ice will keep well above the ground.
Build cheap house for il about Ii
feet square, with the door on the north
side lay down old rails, or anything
to keep the ice off the ground, pack in
sawed cakes, leaving 1Sinches Of space
between the ice and the sides TO be
filled with straw firmly packed down.
The door should he in two parts, each
about FIVE feet long. the upper one to
be used till the ice gets below the top

having ice houses under ground.

PICKING FRUIr.-In picking fruit the
grower must know the peculiarities OF
each sort some must be sold at once,
some autumn varieties are fit TO eat few
weeks after picking, while others keep
into early winter. The latter or winter
kinds should be left on the trees until
the fruit has nothing more to gain by
hanging. No work done by the fruit
grower will pay so we'll as asserting
the fruit after picked. A few poor ap-
Piles will spoil the sale of good ones
the who lie will be judged by the poor :
est.-Winter fruit should be kept in q
cool cellar, MS cool as possible without
freezing,-Pears need more careful at
tention tina n = es. Half barrels,
lined with y 'hhtaper, with the fruit
packed In b. nand, are the best for
keeping all kinds except specimens OF
high colored fruit; these should be
wrapped singly in soft paper and plac-
cd in single layers in shallow boxes.
