Keeping Pure bred stock.

Many farmers have made the mistake
of trying to keep and breed a herd, or
fl 'ck, of pure-bred animals, and have,
through their frequent failures. brought
discreuit upon such stock. Pure-bred
stock, as a rule, are not profitable for
farmers. They cost too much; no far
mer can afford to pay $4,000 to $4,000
Tor herd of 10 pure-bred cows. They
are used to careful tending and high
feeding, and their product is no greater
than the average ofgOod grades of these
breeds. We know Ofno herd of spure-
bred animals in existence, that would
pay its cost of purchase and keeping by
its product of milk, butter, or meat.
alone I; it is only by the sale OF animals
tor breeding that the profit is made.
But admitting this to be true, pure
bred stock are not, for this reason, to
be considered Of less value. If we
have not the pure stock, how can we
procure the grades, which are found
so profitable? Grades, of high charac'
ter, arc the most profitable farmers
COWS. Experience proves this to be so
in every case. A most notable i'll
stance of it is found III the herd OF Mr..
Thomas Fitch. of New London, Conn.
who has been engaged in crossing the
Jersey upon every other breed, lnclud-
ing what are known as native" COWS,
for more than thirty years. This
breeder keeps herd OF choice pure
bred animals, descended from the old
fashioned importations, made when the
butter product was more thought OF,
than black points. solld-color. or other
iancies, for the purpose iraising grade
cows of large producing capacity OF rich
butter. Probably no breeder in the
coxntry has been more successful IN hlS
line, and his success Is ali example 10.
farmers, which proves that ii is best /"
choose one breed with which to I'M
proye his native stock, to adhere TO
that, gradually grading up his herd
and selecting only the best to breed
from. One pure bull, which may cost
$3.50 to $500, will sire, during his vigor-
Gus period, at least so calves. thus add
ding small trIhe to the cost Of eacl
over that of calf from common
scrub bull. BY adhering to one breed.
there is certainty Of arriving at a
definite result very soon; but by the
.wo frequent habit OF changing every
Two or three years. no satisfactory re-
suit is gained. and after a lifetime OF
futile effort. the farmer ends where he
begun. and berates .pure-bred stock as
the cause Of his failures. As wits cows.
so with sheep. swine, and poultry. The
pure breeds are not found profitable to
keep. except for their services in rails
ING grades. and in keeping up supply
of breeding animals for tins purpose.
In this way q farmer. who can afford II,
may be justified in purchasing two Or
three pure-bred animals for improving
a herd ofgood natives, and ifhe us's
these with skill, he may find it very
profitable.

Roots, total.

In the case of the Norfolk whites and
Swedes, the leaves as we'll as the roots
We're removed from the land but in the
case of the sugar-beet and mangels the
leaves were spread upon the land, and
the roots only removed. In 1876 the
produce Of roots (nangles) with arti.
fetal manure alone, containing nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash, was % tons
ii cwt., and in the present year (lS70
it has been % tons, 2 cwt. No dung
has been applied to these plots for near
ly forty years.
From these few illustrations it must
be evident to you that manures supply
Ing nitrogen, phosphoric ac.d and potash
will keep up the fertility ofmy soil, and
enable it to produce crops OF hay. corn
and roots. IN full agricultural quantity,
for very many years in succession. Nor
is this result dependent on anything
exceptional in the quality of my par.
ticular soil; on the contrary, dc not
hesitate to give it as my opinion thai
cultivated soils generally, whether in
Great Britain or elsewhere, which have
become impoverished by cropping,
would IN a greater or less degree be re-
stored 10 fertility by the application Of
manure supplying, in an available csn-
dltion, one or more Of the tee constitu-
ents-nitrogen, phOsphoric acid and

The Pernansney Of Artificial Fertilizers.

Permanent Grass.--The application Of
artificial manures alone, containing
nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash with
some other constituents of known little
efecD, for twenty-five years in sue
cession, has given an average annual
crop Of hay OF nearly three tons per
acre. Twice during the period, a
second crop has been cut without further
manuring; and it has on each occasion,
yielded nearly 2 tons more.
Permanent Wheat.-ln like manner.
artificial manures used alone, supplying
nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash.
have given an average, over twenty
five years, OF sc I bushels of dressed
grain and more than two IONS Of straw
per acre per annum. The produce Of the
present year was 10 bushels of dressed
corn, and ton IA cwts. of straw. No
dung has been applied to this land for
50 years.
Permanent Barley.-In a similar way
artificial manures alone, containing
nitrogen anc phosphoric acid. without
potash, have given an average, over %
years, of 6 or. Of barley and nearly !
ton Of straw per annum' Another plot,
with the same amounts Of nitrogen anu
phosphOric acid, rat with potash added,
has given. on the average, only frac-
ton ola bushel more corn and less
than 2 cwts. more straw per acre per
annum. No dung has been applied to
this land for 30 years. 1t is evident,
therefore. that up to the present time
the soil itself has yielded up as much
bota.h as was required for the large
annual crop above mentioned.
Permanent Root Crops.-Root crops
are generally considered to be more de-
pendent upon applied manure than any
other /; and this opinion is fully confirm
81 oy the Rothamst. ad experiments.
Iaa continuously unmanured four-course
rotation, which has now extended over
a period Of 80 years. the root crop ofths
hrst-cOurse, though small, was yer,
much heavier than it has been since.

aud averaging less than a ton per acre
per annum over the last ak courses.
Notwithstanding this, the barley
averaged SO BUSH, and the wheat 80
bash, over the seven unmauuredcOurses.
With the exception of three wears.
during which barley was grown without
MT nure, roots have been grown over an
area Of eight acres without manure, with
farm-yard manure and with different
artificial manures, from lS43 up to the
present time, as under:

Pastry.

Pastry must not be worked or mixed
with the hands, if the housewife wishes

cooks. While acknowledging The un-

iaky crust, is not worth the eating, aud
that we much prefer plan pudding to
plain pie. If properly made, three
quarters OF pound Of lard-Or half lard

even one half pound Of lard-no butter
