MARKETING FRUITS.

In most cases fruit growers can
obtain better prices for their fruit
near home, If they live near large
town, than by sending them to large
cities By railroad, or by water, as the
case may be. An Ohio fruit grower,
in speaking of marketing grapes,
pears, aud peaches, says:
Now as the result of q good deal
vf experience and observation-and
some dearly bought lessons-my ad-
vice to persons having such crops of
fruit, is, first of all, to sell them as
near hcme as possible. In the ma
jority of the towns and villages of
the interior of our State there is a
better market for berries, peaches
and grapes, every season, on an ay-
erage, than is to be found in the cit
ies, taking all of the expenses and
risks into the account, unless the
grower is located near enough to a
city to be able to market his fruit
with q team, thus avoiding the ex-
press charges and commission. This
accords with the experience OF all the
extensive growers Of summer fruits
in Ohio at this time. Within a ra-
dius of ten or fifteen miles OF Cincin-
natl immense quantities of berries
and other fruits are grown for that
market, and hauled to the city on
spring wagons, then sold by the load,
to retailers or to wholesale dealers
who ship largely to customers in 9th
er places. The same is mainly true
in regard to Cleveland and other cit
ies.-
ROTATION OF CROPS.

Temper of the HI orse.

1t should be borne in mind, on purchasing q
horse, that there is a direct relation between
the horses forehead and his disposition and
qualities. The face must be very broad be-
tween the eyes, but it should taper little as
it approaches the ears. If the breadth is car
ried all the way upwards, the top of the head
will be wide, the ears ill set, and the horse
probably sulky. As in the human being, so
in the horse-a great deal of the expression of
the countenance depends on the eye. 1t is
most marvellous index to the working of the
mind within. A glance at it will often re-
veal the benevolent feeling, the sulky DISPOSE
ton, or the vicious propensity that is about
to manifest itself. The reason of all this
must be most obvious, when we remember
that it is in direct communion with the
brain-the material instrument through
which the mind operates. The eye of the
horse should be kindly, strong, bold, fiery,
yet gentle-looking. 1t should not show
much white, as that indicates vicious dis
position. A horse that is looking back so far
as to expose the white of his eye, is general
ly on the alert for mischief. and is not to be
trusted with his heels. The eye gives a
strong indication both of the temper and
temperament OF the animal and it is easy TO
Judge from it whether activity or sluggshness

Profitable Crops.

A large number of letters reach US from far
mers who inquire what crop we would recon-
mend 10 be raised upon certain parcels OF land
with the view of getting from the largest cash
returns. These are very difficult questions to
answer; in fact, any answer must be to large
extent empirical, and the opinion untrust.
worthy, as there are conditions to be taken
into account of which we can have no knowl-
edge. The nature OF the land is to be consid-
cred, its fertility, its situation it nearness to
the market &c. Unless land is put in good
tilth, no crop can be raised with profit. A
hundred times have we said to farmers, cul-
tivate less land, and put every rod of that
which is cultivated into high condition. 1t is
an axiom in successful farming, that one acre
must be made to give returns equal to four,
under the old system of New England Farm
ing. Make an acre give you 80 or 100 bushels
of corn or 35 of wheat, the same of rye, and
then you are on the road to successful farm
ing. You cannot afford to drudge away upon
land which give you but one-third of these re-
suits. We have one measured acre ofland which
for12 years we have studied carefully, and kept
an account of the expenses and value ofcrops,
and it has afforded us much instruction. Last
year the acre gave us 35 bushels of summer
rye, and about two tons of straw. The rye
we sold the present spring for slips bushel,
and the straw had cash value of $25 dollars
therefore $93.75, and we deduct the expenses
SO far as they can be fairly estimated, about
$2S, we have clear profit of more than $65
from the acre of land Now, if farmer has
10 or 20 acres under cultivation, giving like re-
suits, they afford him fair income, and, with
the returns from other farm Departments, the
business of farming does not appear pecuniar-
lily bad. The truth is, farming must be stud
led and well considered it must be conducted
as merchant conducts his business, with in
telligence, forethought and good common
sense. Farmers must look upon their land as
a merchant does upon his merchandise, and
the question to be pondered is, how can I
make it pay me the best profit? Farming,
that is, the right kind of farming, is a good
business; we insist upon it, it is good bust
ness for young man to follow.-BoSten

To Cook Mutton.

Old mutton is always q great infliction.
Some of its horrors may be avoided by us
ing the following receipt: Mince very finely
some cold mutton with few oysters or few
mushrooms; take some strong stock well
favored with vegetables and highly seasoned,
put it in stewpan, and thicken it with roux
a. e.. butter melted over a slow fire, skim
med, thickened to thick paste with baked
sifted -four, and left to cool before use). Let
the stock simmer, and stir in the roux, TAX
ing care to stir always in the same direction !;
when nice and tolerably thick sauce has
been made, add the minced mutton, etc., to
it, and let the mince warm through, stirring
it gently round as it does so; then put it on a
dish and leave it to cool fors some hours. When
it is quite cold it should form jelly-like
paste, just consistent enough to make soft
balls. These balls should be of the shape
and size of a large egg. Dip them twice
over, first in the yolk of an egg, and then in
grated breadcrumbs, then fry them in boiling
fat. The boiling fat should cover them
entirely; they must be put into it one at a
time very carefully and gently, and taken out
with equal care. to prevent the risk of break
ing them. 1t is for this reason that it is
necessary to egg and bread crumb them twice
over. Arrange them round a dish with boil
ed peas, French beans, or spinach, piled up
in the center.

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Montreal Horticulture.

The Horticultural Society of Montreal
must be an active and efficient association, if
we can draw an inference from the fact that
who pay an admission fee of two dollars.
Its transactions, containing the doings of the
society, and variety of valuable papers and
essays, indicate degree of interest in the
objects of the society which is highly COM
mendable and worthy of the attention and
imitation of the residents of our own cities.
The reports of the cultivation and produc-
ton of the small fruits, compares favorably
with similar statements from our northern
territory. The same varieties of berries,
plums and grapes are raised as with us, and
with corresponding success and profit, some
of them finding market abroad. We have
recently noticed that large quantities of rhu
barb were raised at Montreal and Quebec
in underground pits during the winter season
for the supply of their home demand.
In the list Of old and well established va
rieties of apples the Farmeuse stands at the
head, while the Duchess of Oldenburg, Red
Astrachan, Alexander and Golden Russell
are special favortes. In fact, we notice but
very little difference between the kinds which
receive the favorable mention of the fruit
committee of this society, and those which
are most approved and cultivated by the Or
chardsts of Aroostook and of the eastern
part of our state.
1t is noteworthy fact that the committee
on fruit discovered more than hundred va
rieties of native apples within the limits of
the Island of Montreal which has never been
named, and yet were described as "of excel
lent quality and great beauty. The exam
pie of the society in proposing to investigate
the neglected department of pomology, and to
have experimental tests,is worthy imitation
elsewhere. The history of the Baldwin apple,
should serve as constant and encouraging
stimulus to fruit growers and fruit lovers, to
make the most of all promising seedlings.
We are satisfied that in every county of
the state some choice but as yet undiscov-
cred candidates for public favor might be
brought to the light. Maine may yet be in
debted to the waits of the wayside for large
additions to her reputation and resources.

If theivalue of Jersey cows is to rest on COL
or. deterioration will surely follow of those
useful qualities that are far more noticeable
in the good old-fashioned parti-colored COW,
than that which will be found among the
generality of fine, high-bred, whole-colored
fawns, grays, or foxy, so called Jerseys. 1
have owned hundreds of acclimated Jersey
stock, and have never, as rule, found the
whole colored such large producers as many
parti-colored ones; in fact, by far the most
butter-producing COW ever possessed was
not only parti-colored, but the most ugly and
ungainly beast of the lot; yet her stock have
never failed to show their large buttermaking
qualities. The true type of a Jersey COW is,
in fact, an animal that will not make meat.
do not say that this is not improved upon
by acclimatization and harder breed, of
which what are termed Chichester Jerseys
are the best description; neither do l say
that Jersey breeds in the island itself have
not in some instances breed that shows a
disposition to make some flesh, and very
probably may then be following up the re-
quirement of fashion, yet maintain that a
pure Jersey should throw the bulk of her
feeding properties into butter, and with little
to flesh. The parti-colored good COW may
have but white spot, especially under the
belly, but throughout the body the rich
yellow skin. under any colored hair, will be
found, black, white or fawn. l have seen
