SHEEP.-Mr. Henry C. HaIIowelI, Of
Montgomery county, Nd, says there is
scarcely farm upon which q flock OF
sheep could not be raised, Of larger OF
smaller size, and the profits derived there
from would 20 far towards paying our
taxes. The beneficial effect upon the
land is we'll understood He himself has
repeatedly purchased Aocks in the fall, for
from $50 to 80, aud sold in the following
spring nearly 500 worth of lambs and
wool, having the flock left in good condi-
tion. His plan of management is to bring
up the sheep into tight yard every night.
This does not injure them, even in the
most sultry weather, as they are creatures
of habit, and Immediately lie down and
ruminate, and are then ready to go to
feeding as soon as let out very early in the
morning. BY having the yard-fence high
and strong, they are secure from dogs. A
three-quarter Southdown buck runs with
them, and the lambs come in from the first
of January to the middle of March.

Profitable Cows.

Oxford Depot correspondence of the
Orange county, N. Y. Press, says See
ing in last weeks Press the account OF
Crisis COW, "Queen of the Meadows, y
which made in 1876 422 lbs. Of butter,
and in 1877 1876 lbs, calls to mind the
income Of Sam. Maryin's little brag heifer,
"Queen Of Oxford" She from Jan. 9th,
1875, to Jan. 9th, 1876, gave {, 473 quarts
Of milk, which sold in New York city for
s252.31. She next gave from May 18th,
1876, to May 18th, 1877, 6,934A quarts
Of milk, or 173 cans and IL quarts, on
which the freight amounts at 80 cents per
can to 1884, showing the "Queen Of
Oxford" to be desirable patron for the
Erie Railway.
Now If we allow that IL quarts Of milk
will equal one ID. of butter, we find that
the FIRST year mentioned the "Queen Of
Orford's" product was equal to 5SSl lbs.
butter, and the second year equal to 6305
lbs. butter. Furthermore, Marvin's COW
is not single COW grazing alone, but one
of dairy Of some thirty cows. This hei-
fer commenced upon new series of tri-
umphs on the 9Th day of September last,
and is since then So far outdoing her for
mer efforts that her owner, as he takes the
weights of her milk twice each day, i'm
media,ely adjourns to his sanctum sane
tOram and marks the same on his day
books, and those marks are as yet for the
eye of no common mortal, but we hope
some one has COW worthy to try compe-
titiOn with the "Queen Of Oxford" for
either of the two years mentioned, OF. for
the present one Notice that this heifer
only weighs about 900 pounds.

A paper read before the French Acad-
envy of Science which gave the results of
many experiments, states that milk having
been exposed at various temperatures va
rying from 81 degrees to 212 degrees
Fahrenheit, ELECTED the following summary
of facts The rise Ofcream is more rapid
as the temperature to which the milk is
exposed approaches (32 degs.) the freez
ing point The volume ofcream is greater
when the milk has been effectually cooled.
The yield of butter is also greater when
the milk has been exposed to very low
temperature. Finally, the skinned milk,
the butter and the cheese, are of better
quality when prepared under the above
circumstances.

THE APPLE TREE BoRER.-W. S.
Todd, in Practical Farmer, says IL have
an orchard of two acres, planted eight and
twelve years ago. About FIVE years ago
found the borers at work in all the trees,
more or less. The bark would turn black
and peel of, and they would appear decay.
ed 10 spots the size of my hand and larger.
1 commenced to scrape with my knife.
and found white grub working between
the bark and tree. In some trees found
as many as ten worms in one tree. They
killed two of my largest trees, and injured
five others 50 that they died. | first tried
soft soap suds; it seemed to kill them by
drowning | afterward took strong lye,
that would float an egg; this killed all that
it touched. dug out several worms af-
ter asing the I've, and every one was dead.
| have washed my trees in May and Sep
tcmber, ever since, and have not lost a
tree.

fodder, hay or straw, that is superior to any
other cutter ever invented. 1t cuts faster and
brushes the fodder, putting the stalk into such
a condition that cattle viii eat all up The
fodder after being cut passes through crusher,
thus making the hard corn stalk as soft as the
blade; while all other cutters leave the stalk
in short hard pieces, and the chewing of such
hard pieces by your stock produces sore mouths
which, instead of a benefit to your stock, is
an injury. ! claim this machine to he superior
to all others To satisfy yourselves, feeder.

To drain depression in field where
a clayey or hard pan subsoil prevents the
sinking Of rain water, and the lay o. the
land is unfavorable for ordinary methc DIS
of drainage, first dig hole as if for well
through the impervious stratum at the
bottom hollow, fill it up to the brim with
refuse stones, remove the excayated earth
so as to allow the surface water free ae-
cess to the pit, and standing water will
never injure the grass or grain crop in that
part of the field.

One pound of corn is equal in real food
to about three and three-qusrter pounds
of potatoes, or eleven and one-h half pounds
of white turnips, but dairy stock is often
injured by the injudicious feeding of meal.
Meal is Of very heating nature, and
when fed in considerable quantities, is apt
TO derange the animals health.

FEEDING BRAN.-The question of feed
ing bran to dairy COWS is discussed in the
Scientific american by correspondent
who says:-"I maintain, that if more
shorts are fed than is necessary to coun-
teract tho heating quality and condensed
richness Of the corn meal, it deteriorates
the butter. During last March saw this
illustrated. Being called upon in Boston
to examine some butter from one of the
finest dairies in the State, and which was
troubling the dealer who sold it, he said it
was negatively good; nothing could be said
against it, yet mighty little could be said
in its favor. It seemed to lack that fine,
nutty favor SO necessary to fresh butter
that commands over forty cents per pound.
| said at once upon tasting it, "Too much
shorts, and enough corn meal" He
answered Just what / thought, but
didn't dare say so until it was confirmed. -
In less than ten days the butter from that
dairy was improved.
