The leading and probably most inter
csting feature Of -4pPletons Journal for
January is nm illustrated article dcscrip-
tive OF the building Of the great New
York and Brooklyn susrcnsion-bridge.
The p per, by Mr.. Charles Carroll, is
written in 90 graphic and charming a
manner that II possesses marked interest
by virtue Of its style, independent of its
theme; and, as the erection of the bridge
is one of the greatest engineering triumphs
Of the age, the description of the peculiar
methods employed will be studied with
profound attention by every reader. The
Illustrations are numerous and good

Vermont Farms.
THE FARM OF HON. +. d. DOUGLAS,
WHITING, VERMONT.

In February, 1878, was at this farm
several days. and saw in its methods con-
tinuation of the same management that was
commenced ten years ago. The object is to
have products to sell continuously, so that
no season is without probable income.
The farm contains three hundred and
seventy-five acres, of which about one hun
dred and fifty is flowed by the annual high
water of Otter Creek, and is always produc-
tive of large crop of low-land grass or hay.
That portion that is in pasture carries very
large stock during the summer. The part
that is moved has been leveled at great ex-
pense, and can be cut with machine, af
fording abundance Of hay, and consequently
of manure. The upland is fine clayey
loan, that produces well. Twelve acres were
seeded to grass last year, with grain, and
were dressed with forty loads of manure to
the acre. This year eighteen acres will re-
ceive similar dressing.
The stock now comprises from fifty to
sixty cows and heifers that will give milk
this year, twenty yearlings, fourteen horses
(of which ten are over four years old), thirty
sheep Registered Merinoes), and about ten
hogs. Last year the sales were such that,
above expenses and interest, a thousand dol
lars was gained. The larger items were,
butter, $1,000; pigs and pork, $500; wood,
5000; besides many items of less amount.
Mr.. Douglas has now to sell this spring:
Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1878-07-03

His stock will be increased by four colts,
twenty calves that he will raise, twenty
lambs and large number of pigs This
sale of cows, horses, wool, pork and hay is
to continue every year steady income.
Here is where the management is better than
when only one article, like butter, is sold.
Mr.. Douglas formerly kept Shorthorn
grades and had some very fine COWS, rearing
young cattle for beef. Then he tried few
Ayrshires, but during the last three years
his calves have been grade Jersey. He has
also few full-bloods. His Jersey calves
and COWS are not as fine looking as his old
stock, unless one sees beauty in the peculiar
markings of the Jersey. His horses are of
the belong or Ethan Allen stock. His pigs
are Berkshires. For several years he has
sold them alive to a man in Massachusetts
who packs pork, lard and hams for family
use, and gets top prices. In these times of
depression it will not answer for farmers
generally to depend ON one product for an
income, or TO produce what everybody else
produces. Every farmer will sell the old
COW, the gargety COW, the three-teated cow,
but Mr.. Douglas sells cows of good age, that
are all right, and gives the purchaser his
choice among several. The result has been
that the COWS prove better than the pur-
chaser expected, and as he goes Dragging
around that he has bought Mr.. Douglas
best COW it induces others to 60 there for a
good COW. Any farmer will sell the old
lame horse, but Mr.. Douglas colts are liable
to be fast, and certainly stylish roadsters.
His Berkshire pigs are also giving salts
faction by rapid, healthy growth.
So let us all plan to have variety of good
produce to sell, and thus take the wire edge
| of the hard times. u. Il. JAMESON.

Orchard Grass Again.

A continuous trial of several years has so
impressed us with the value of this little
known grass, both for hay and pasturage,
that we feel like saying enough about it to
interest our improving and progressive read
ers in its results. A writer in the Country
Gentleman of June Goth O.. F. Allen, the
well-known farmer and stock-breeder of
Niagara county, says son this 18th day
of June, 1878, am cutting piece of orch
ard grass Of about one acre, which has stood
in the lawn of my dwelling for the past
thirty years. 1t averages fully three feet
high, and portions of it run to four feet and
upwards. 1t is in full bloom, and to let it
stand some days longer would deteriorate it
in quality for hay purposes. 1t is more or
less mixed with red clover, now in full
bloom, and both in perfect condition for the
best quality of hay. The soil in which the
grass grows is strong clayey loan. 1t has
had little stable manure for years past
none at all for several successive years-and
last year a liberal dressing of unleached
wood ashes on the stubble after the grass
was cut. To appearance, the grass now
yields fully two tons or more to the acre.
"The real value of orchard grass is not
well known. Cut when in bloom, and the
stalks full of sap, it is an excellent hay for all
classes Of farm stock and mixed on the
ground with red clover, as it should be--fol
they are both in cutting season topether

June Grass for Hay.

"F g." the well-known practical farmer
and correspondent of the Country Gentleman
Gan Englishman, brought up to farming in
the old country, where they raise the best
farmers in the world), reports the results Of
top-dressing partially run out river meadow
set in the small June grass (Poa compressd)
thus
"He relied upon this land for his hay
crop, his upland being too inconvenient for
meadow. The cuttings were light the first
few years, and for very good reasonsi there
was neither Timothy, clover, nor any of the
larger growing grasses only the small June
grass, and that small enough. This, Of
course, would not do for land as valuable as
the river flats, so manure was applied. He
keeps dairy of some twenty odd cows, but
unfortunately he let much of his manure
waste by the rains washing out its strength.
Yet the manure had good effect, thicken-
ing the small grass, and bringing in red
clover somehow. The top-dressing was con-
tinued till the land was all covered. Some
of the manure seemed to lack the virtue of
bringing out the clover, and then only the
dwarf grass grew, and this occupied the
ground with dense covering. The first
crop was good one, estimated at two tons
per acre. The second crop was still heavier,
though shorter. 1t is very close and thick,
completely occupying the ground, 80 that
nothing else can live there. Its disadvan-
tage is that it excludes the air and sun, and
is pale at the ground-a contrast to the dark
blue at the surface. Its extreme closeness
makes its leaves very fine. 1t is difficult
and heavy work for the team to cut this
thick short grass, showing no sign of stalk
coming to head, the surface as even as
floor.
"The two cuttings of this dwarf hay
yielded about four tons to the acre, some es-
timating it higher. ] had no idea of seeing
such winrows and such a thick stand of
cocks, while the uncut grass, so short seemed
only like pasture. tell him his hay, as a
COW feed is worth Sl2 or more per ton Che
feeds for milk during the winter, selling his
milk, which would be yield of $50 per
acre. doubt whether this has ever before
been realized with this grass. 1t only shows
what can be done if the proper means are
used and the circumstances favor"
If this can be done with the small June
grass, no one need doubt our statement of
two tons to the acre of the larger June
grass (I'Oa pratensis), which is the common
June grass of Vermont and the true blue
grass of Kentucky. If we go in for early
cutting we must grow the early grass, and
if we want two crops of hay year, we must
manure for it. "Out of nothing comes
nothing"

for cutting too early for Timothy, when
grown together. For soiling-green food
uses--orchard grass is the best | know. Sow
in the spring Of the year, two bushels to the
acre.
"Another advantage for orchard grass is
its cdriiness, as well as lateness, for pasture,
and its hardihood and duration in the soil.
Il will not run out sooner than blue grass
Poa praiensis--at least | have had them
together for forty years, and they look equally
good now as ever"
Mr. Allen seems TO think orchard grass
not so well adapted to light soils, but we be
lieve this is only true as it is true of all
grasses. 1t does excellently on our own
moderately light land, and also on still
lighter soils in the vicinity. But on such
land it needs manure, the same as Timothy
while it is not nearly as liable to run out
Mr.. Allen concludes by saying: "If l were
some years younger, and lived on my farm
myself, would have hundred acres of or
chard grass meadow in two years from this. y
