AGRICULTURAL.
Faftening Poultry.

A letter on this subject, by Henry
Eliot, Washington county, Ohio, fur
nishes some interesting items in relation
to the examining process practiced by
French and English feeders in this coun-
try, who go on the principle of giving
fowls not only all the food they would
naturally eat, but forcing an extra
amount, which makes them dull and
sleepy, and thus increases the tendency
to fstten. The feeders especially esteem
buckwheat for this purpose also employ
oat and corn meal, mixing it rather stiff,
and rolling it into what are termed,
"crams III. e. masses two inches long,
of the thickness of mans little finger
The Grams, dipped into milk or water
are pushed into the mouth and throat Of
the fowl until the crop is full, the opera
ton being repeated two or three times &
day. In raising poultry for the table
the farmer, said Mr. Eliot, should moi
forget that the chicken must be KEEP

or their framework becomes stunted and
fixed, and prevents their afterwards OBJ
tanning large size. The best food after
chickens are put up in fattening coops /;
oats and corn meal, fixed with scalded

Cheese w.. Meat.

A writer in the Scientific Farmer says
1t is little singular that, in these hard
times, when every one is trying to econ
emize, that more cheese is not eaten. So
much has been said and written by
chemists about the relative of cheese and
meat that we all must have seen some COM
parison of their value as food, with the
balance always ON the side of cheese,
when each is reckoned at its usual
market quotation. Another argument
in favor of cheese is that it requires no
cooking or other preparation, but is al
ways ready for food. Bread is termed
the staff of life. Most properly, it seems
to me, we might add to it the clRese and
milk. 1t might be useful, to confirm
what chemistry declares, if some one in
terested were to try the experiment of a
diet composed largely of those, in some
of eur charitable institutions, reform
schools, or POor-houses. We have them
all around US to support, and if we could
maintain them equally well, or perhaps
better, by some changes of this nature,
would it not be an object to do so? If
our taxes were little lighter could we
not bear it comfortably? When a poer,
unfortunate beggar calls at our door for
food, give him bread and cheese. He
manifests many thanks for this, and

THE CHINESE COMPLAIET.

The Chinese merchants of California, in
their remOnstrance which they have placed
in the hands of Senator Morton, to be pre-
sented to congress, claim to represent one
hundred and twenty thousand laborers
in that state and the whole Chinese en-
pire of four hundred million souls. They
profess to desire that Chinese immigra-
tioa be stopped, aud ask protection for
their countrymen now here. One-third
of all the Cinnamon in this country
they say, would gladly return to China
if free passage could be had. Meanwhile
a great portion of the white population
of California is making strenuous efforts
to drive Chinese workmen from all en-
Payments. Every family and every
factory is requested to discharge them,
and the factories have agreed to their
dismissal. Poor John is subjected to the
greatest injustice on all hands on account
of his multiplicity and cheapness, and it
may be that congress can do him no bet
ter service than to send him back to his
own Incorporating country.-C Courier

Treatment OF Pigs.

The commissioner OF agriculture of the
state Of Georgia, in Manual on the
Hog" says, among other things:
Success in raising hogs depends in a
great measure upon the attention given
pigs for the first few months of their ex-
istence, and if proper attention is given
them it may be stated as a may IN that
increase of pigs is increase of pork
The future usefulness of every animal,
man included, depends, in an eminent
degree, upon the treatment received
while young, and in none more than in
the pig. Pigs that are allowed to become
poor or diseased seldom so entirely re-
cover as to attain equal development
with those that receive no check to health
or growth during the formative period.
1t is, therefore, of prime Importance to
keep pigs, from their birth, in thriving,
healthy condition. As soon as they can
be induced to eat, they should be pro-
yided with a shallow trough in the sow's
pen, but inaccessible to her, to which
they can resort to at pleasure. Com
mence by giving them small quantity
Of milk, several times day, Icing care
full to feed at regular hours, so that they
will expect it at those hours, and sleep
quietly during the intervals. Increase
the quantity and give little grain as
they grow older, being careful to clean
out the trough each time before feeding.
If the pigs have been we'll fed, and the
SOW is much reduced, they may he
weaned at six weeks cid, but if the SOW
Is still in good condition, and strong
enough to bear the drain upon her con-
stitution, they may remain with her ten
or twelve weeks, if there is time to pre-
pare for the next litter. When only a
few weeks old the boar pigs should be
altered and marked, and the SOW spaved
about two weeks before they are weaned
that they may have the mothers milk
until recovered from its effects. If the
pigs are castrated at this tender age
there is less risk, ON account of the
greater ease with thich they can be held
in their position, and the small develop
ment OF the parts. If allowed to run
three or four months, as is too often the
case, the parts become more sensitive
and hemorrnage, swelling and stiffenine
of the parts are apt to follow. When
the pigs are operated upon the SOW
should be removed to a safe distance
from the pen not to be excited by the
cries of her young, since there will be
risk of her eating her pigs if she smells
blood upon them when she is excited.

The fresh ears are steamed five minutes

faces; then spread on perforated zinc
tables, and heat applied four or five
hours from long furnaces, stirring con-
stantly; then packed in barrels three
bushels each for shipment. Great care
is required to have the corn Of the right
age, and TO have it dried enough to keep
well. Four bushels of corn on the cob
make one bushel dried, the wholesale
price of which is $50 to $22 per barrel.

An Experiment In Grape CuItnr,


The Prairie Farmer has a communica-
ton on this subject from a corresponds Mt
who says:
Seven years ago, in grubbing up a Ca
.aba vineyard, the writer left one row of
the vines. The stalks had been taker
away, and as lot of apple tree trim
INNINGS were convenient, a quantity
were placed on each side of the vines to
run on, just keeping them off the ground.
but scarcely more than a foot from it in
any place.
The experiment has been completely
successful. The last three years have
been excessively wet, and both rot and
grape'curculio have run riot among the
Concords, while these vines are al
together exempt. This year, hot, steamy
weather would occur Immediately after
severe showers. The result has been
widespread, blight among pear, apple
and other trees, and grapes could be seen
to mildew while observing them; but
these vines, close to the ground, have
been kept shaded ali the time, and were
also much cooler. In no case do they
show any evidence of atmospheric or in
sect injury of any sort.
Experiments like these are recon
mended in localities where mildew Is
common, and where choice sorts, like the
Catawbs, do not usually prosper. The
mode of culture has many merits. 1t
costs little or nothing To care for them,
only placing brush or rough forks under
them to keep the vines from contact with
the earth. In winter the snow, leaves
and other sheltering cover, sifU in among
the branches and remain there, prevent
ing injury from severity Of the climate.
Last and most important of all, the fruit
Is of superior quality withouSany i'm
projections in any part, even while re-
quiring no care.
Have any of our readers ever tried
this method of grape culture. If they
have, it would be instructive to hear
from them, whether they succeeded or
tailed

Bee Notes for sentemher.

One of the principal interests of the
present month is the care of surplus
honey. 1t should be kept in cool dry
place. Box honey should be examined
occasionally, and if moth worms are
found, they should be picked off and de-
stroyed. Extracted honey may be stored
in tin or wooden watts or casks If wood
is used, it should first be coated with
wax. Hives that have cast swarms
should be examined to ascertain if they
have laying queens, as the youTy queen
will at times be lost when the hive con.
tains no brood from which the bees nav
rear another. If hive should be found
without queen, one should be applied,
or brood given them, from which they
