FALL CARE OF STOCK.

There is no question and no manner
of doubt about the fact that young an
imals Of every variety must be kept in
one unifor N, thriving condition, if
money is to be made by raising them.
They must be watched, so that when
ever there is the slightest check to
growth and the comely appearance of
the flock or the the herd, they can be
moved to some better pasture or have
some immediate stimulation, by giving
food Of q more strengthening quality.
This is a season of the year requiring
more than ordinary care, and early ev-
cry cold morning something should be
given to any colts, calves or lambs
which have not extra good grass orfood
Of some kind.
II is not necessary to begin stabling
at night because of moderate cold, for
II the stomachs of all are full of good
food the cool air is not disagreeble, and
nature provides longer hair to assist in
keeping them warm Some people
will be foolishly particular about shell
ter, but there is a medium, and if they
will feed well out in the fields while the
ground is dry, all kinds of young stock
will be better for the gradual way in
which they become accustomed to win
ter weather. Then, when severe storms
come on, and they are put into winter
quarters, will escape the ordeal of the
sudden change to dry food, because
they have been brought regularly to it
by the morning feed (and perhaps eve
ming feed too) after grass becomes short
Grass ought not to be grazed SO bare
as to weaken the roots, and to prevent
1t when any one is heavily stocked, or
the grass goes off through drouth, feed
should be given twice per day.
1t is this attention to young stock,
sheep, ETC., ia England, which makes
the tenant farmers so successful and
causes the extra mutton and wool; and
it is the false economy in the United
States of outstanding" as it is called,
the best food, and keeping the cattle
and sheep short, in consequence of
which they lose flesh, that the farmers
are afraid of the winter, and they sink
money instead of gaining. When
young animals are brought in, they
should not be kept closely shut up.
There should be good ventilation;
and In the daytime, especially from
10 A. II, Tor earlier when mild till 3
Or P. NJ, they should be out of night
quarters, and lie in an open yard hav-
ing shed that they can go under at
pleasure. In fact, all varieties of stock
should have this healthful daily airing
and at noon it will found that any
coarse fodder will be eaten with a rel
ish in the open air, which they would
not touch in their stalls.
Sheep, too, ought TO have yards for
running in when snow is deep; but they
should have some old pasture lot saved
with all the growth after July, for them
to range on every day if possible. In
the Southern States, all stock is better
for daily running on the blue grass
fields.-G. g., in Counry Gentleman.

THE CHESTNUT.

l am disposed to think that the
chestnut, as fruit for market, will
well repay its cultivation. On our
high ridges throughout the whole lake
shore, and also throughout the coun-
try, its growth appears indigenous.
This consideration, with the fact that
our common chestnut always results in
ready sale at remunerating price,
leads me to the impression that land
could be most profitably employed in
the growth of the Spanish or French
chestnut varieties, the fruit of which is
In size nearly double that of our largest
native varieties, and which think can
be profitsbly engrafted upon the native
tree. The sowing of the seeds of the
Spanish and French chestnuts was
some years since done by Prof. ]. P.
Kirkland, of Cuyahoga county, o. and

while his trees were beauties in form.
II is q fruit well known-it is said five
hundred years before Christ-and Eng
lish works give an account ofimmense
tree in Worcestershire, measuring fifty
three feet in circumference, although
it is not indigenous of that country.
Account is also given of one at Mount
Etna, said to be three hundred and
four feet in circumference. In the
time of Pliny the chestnut was much
used as an article of food tor the peas.
ants, while the rich used it much in
the formation of puddings, etc. In an
English work now before me, it is said
that there are instances in Italy of per
sons living to nearly one hundred years
who have fed wholly upon the chest
nut.
The uses of the tree in the arts are
varied and numerous. As an inside
finish to q room, the second growth
wood Of the chestnut makes the hand
soonest wood work, simply oiled, that
has ever been known. Not one archi-
tect In thousand knows it. The bark
Is used for tanning, while the wood is
exceedingly durable and strong for any
purpose.
Now is the time to plant, as the leaves
have dropped; the soil is warm, and
root fbers will at once grow.-F. r.

English Railway Kings.

Mr.. Brassey and his family arrived at
Hastings on May Goth, in the yacht Sun
beam, after traversing $4,000 under
steam and canvas and making trip
around the world. The voyage had
occupied forty-six weeks. AS soon as
the vessel hove in sight two naval gigs,
manned by the local royal naval artillery
volunteers, rowed off to her and heartily
cheered its arrival. The men clambered
up the shrouds and jumped on board to
offer their congratulations. The Bars
seys, father and son, have built railroads
in all parts of the world and amassed an
immense fortune. Commodore Wander
bilt, who was somewhat interested in
railroad development during the latter
part of his career, once went to Europe
in his own carriage, and that carriage was
the finest steamship then afoat, and
when he returned his first greetings were
paid to his aged mother at her house on
Staetn Island. The younger Brassey has
made similar voyage under his own
colors, and the members of the naval
corps that was founded by him were the
first to welcome him home

Paris Green in the Orchard.

Some time since an inquiry was made
as to whether there is any way to destroy
the canker worm on apple trees Four
years ago they attacked my orchard by
millions, and q few days after it looked
at a distance as if fire had passed through
the branches-not leaf left In the
orchard [ had about one hundred and
fifty trees, twenty years old I had
taken great pains with my trees, and
they did extremely well up to this time
[ felt almost discouraged, and knew of no
remedy. After time the trees all leaved
out again, but grew very little that sea-
son. The following season the trees were
loaded with these pests by billions, so
that if one passed under the trees he
would be covered with the destroyers
and their threads, which hang down
with a worm at its end, about as thick
as the warp of open gauze; on these
threads they swing as pendulum when
the wind blows, and by this means pass
on to the next tree if near enough. This
time, too, they left scarcely leaf, and
then disappeared The trees leaved out
again, but looked weakly, and grew but
little The third season [ was on the
lookout. As the trees leaved I found
them again covered. [ could stand it
no longer, but declared war, bought a
hand-pump and So worth of Paris green,
put a kerosene barrel into my wagon,
filled it with water, added one table
spoonful of green to a pailful, gave it
good stirring, had q man to drive around
under the trees and keep the mixture
well stirred; [ took the pump and
sprinkled about a pail evenly as possible
on each tree. The second day after,
operated second time, with a weak er
solution and less quantity, as I found
their number but few, land those not in
good b ealth. The past season [ kept a
good lookout, but failed to find one. [
have other orchards, but so far have not
been troubled. I keep my war material
all ready now; if the enemies appear, 1
shall storm their works immediately.
There are number of orchards here
about nearly destroyed by the canker-
worm.-T L. Guiyord (IU) an New
York Tribune.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Feeding Swine in Summer.

Now the true way to fatten pigs, at
any season of the year, is to give por-
ton of coarse food, such as turnips
beets, carrots, potatoes, cooked clover
hay, or grass, the last being the natural
food of the pig, and in summer always
at hand. While in cold weather it is
necessary to resort to roots, which have
required manual labor to grow, in sum
mer the pig can get its own grass, and
only requires moderate allowance of
grain to keep it growing rapidly and
have it ready for the knife when grass
ceases to grow. If we take all the hogs
fattened in the United States in year,
and change the time of fattening from
cold to warm weather, one-half of the
grain now fed will make all the pork.
This would be saving of food, at least,
to the amount of s75,000,000 per year.
