MUTTON AND WoOL.-There are many
considerations which seem to point to
great increase in the consumption Of
mutton by the people of this country, in
the near future. The farming class is a
very large proportion of the whole popu-
latlon-embracing directly and indirectly,
more than eighteen millions of people.
This class now consumes much more
pork than is conductive to the best health,
not perhaps because pork is preferred to
beef or mutton, but because it is more
easily preserved during hot weather. A
beef animal is too large to be used by the
farmer in hot weather, but sheep are well
adapted to furnish the farmers summer
fresh meat, as, with proper refrigerator,
lie can use the carcass of sheep at any
time, and the introduction more generally
of mutton into the farmers summer diet
would not only greatly promote health,
but would create large home market.
1t would soon lead to n vast extention OF
mutton and wool growing throughout the
country. A few sheep could be accom-
modated on large majority of farms in
the older states without much interfering
with other operations, and no doubt with
an increase of profit. The best system
for most farms is variety of products, not
trusting the eggs all in one basket.
Variety leads 10 great economy of re-
sources. A small flock of sheep will
bring into use neglected spots and fence
corners, and will turn to account the
gloanings of grain fields and consume
many things not us we'll relished by cattle.

Do they run. grope, walk or Jump, because
they find themselves possessed of limbs
suited to their different kinds of gymnas-
tics, or were they made for the very pur-
pose which they are seen in the insect
world? No thoughtful mind can hesitate
to answer this question properly. There
can be no chance in this systematic world.
Purpose is everywhere manifested, and
means are always adapted to the end in
view. And we do not see why this law
does not apply as well to crickets and
grasshoppers as 10 rolling spheres and
shining suns.
Earwigs are reekoned among noxious
insects, though they do not appear so often
on the criminal list as some of their kim
dred. They have never crawled into
anybody's ears, as we know of, but they
are well calculated TO make people nervous
and frequently annoy them in other ways.
During the daytime they lie concealed in
crevices. and at night they come out to
procure their food. We may catch them
if we can, and if we do, there is no law
against killing them outright
There are several kinds of rockroaches.
One kind are found only in the woods,
under stones and leaves; another kind,
which are said 10 have originated in Asia,
migrated to Europe and thence to Ameri-
ca where they have become domestic in
their habits. They are found under the
kitchen hearths, about ovens, and in dark
and warm closets, whence they issue at
night and prowl about in search of food
We hate them, and would like to get rid
of them, and all we have to do is to give
them poison. A tablespoonful of red
lead, mixed with Indian meal and molas-
SEES placed on plate at night where these
disgusting insects can find it, and we shall
see them no more. Arsenic will do as
well.

One by one we have seen the favorite
sheories and practices of our youth and
early manhood melt away before the in
cfcasing rays of modern and scientif.
c farming. But we thought we had
one "suro foundation stone' to stand
On in the care Of stock. We had IN uncle
once who used to have good horses, and
he used to tell us that good carding
every day was worth as much to a horse
rs two quarts of oats. Even then it was
It question of logic with us why we could
not card him Ohe horse, not the uncle,)
twice and save the four quarts of oats, but
we never tried it,
Now Prof. Sanborn, Of the New lamp
shire agricultural college, has knocked
the props out from under the earding
business and left us all alloat. Hear him,
rs set forth in the american Caltirator:
CARD1NG CATrLE.-Two lots of two
ears-old steers of two in u lot, Of like
weight and thrift, and Of the same blood,
were selected One lot WAS carded seven
weeks and the other left uncarded At
the expiration of this period the carded
lot was left uncarded, and the uncarded
lot carded for seven weeks following. The
result was that for both periods the sum
of the growth OF the uncarded lot was one
pound more than the carded lot. Weighing,
ut each change of car'ing, the food con
sumed by the carded and uncarded steers,
4 AT, Il
changes that the carded steers ate in As
days PHO pounds, and that the uncarded
steers ate in AZ days 20lS pounds loss
OF 80 pounds in As days, or over three
pounds of hay day. The reader will
bear in mind that whenever | changed
carding. a change in the amount of food
consumedimmediateIy followed-l steers
that ate three pounds more per day now
eating three pounds less, and this result
occurred whenever changed carding.
The publication of such facts as these
are considered by some as injurious, or
antiprogerssive. Having long worked
siduously at the card, and taken Just
pride in their sleek steers, it seems TO
many like back tracks. Facts will harm
none that do not make wrong appi alton
of them; and would be distinctly under
stood us assuming, for the present, only,
that with the ordinary stables of New
Hampshire, from the beginning Of cold
weather until April, carding entails loss
| may add that, when time and the amount
of fodder consumed are considered, l am
quite doubtful whether except in rare
instances carding will be a profitable
practice AS now accomplished with rough
cards. presume that an instrument may
be made that will remove dust and other
impediments to the healthy and normal
functions of the skin, and yet not be rude
enough to root out the hairs so much
needed for protection in cold weather, and
thus enable the practice to be pursued in
warm, we'll ventilated stables to advan-
tage. Taking with Joseph B. Walker,
about the relation of external influences
to animal growth in winter, he remarked
that i'll Switzerland he saw cows frequent
ly blanketed; thus radiation of heat was
very largely reduced in amount. With
such practice carding might be healthful

A Chat With Farmers.
BY AGRICOLA.
ABOUT NOXIOUS INSECTS.

Grasshoppers come in for large share
of censure among noxious insects. The
Bible and some other English books call
them locusts, but only certain kind of
grasshoppers are properly called by that
name. The name locust has been i'm
properly applied to the harvest fly. The
real locusts, real grasshoppers, earwigs,
crickets, spectres, sooth sayers, cock.
reaches and their kin belong to one order,
and are distinguished from other orders
by their straight a0ingS. These wings are
folded lengthwise in narrow plaits like Il
fan. These are also covered by another
and thicker pair. which in the locust and
grasshopper are long and narrow and lie
engthwise on the sides of the body.
Cockroaches wear broader wing covers
which lie horizontally on the top of the
back. The structure of the cricket's
wing covers are more like cockroaches'
All this order of insects are provided
with jaws movable transversely like those
of beetles. These come to maturity with
out a complete transformation. The Young
differ from the old only by the absence Of
wings. They move and feed Just like
their parents, but they change their skins
many times before they come to maturity.
Here we come to mark great differ
ence between the beetle tribe of insects in
the second stage of their progress. The
former undergo an entire change while
they remain inactive; the latter simply
grow and mature, retaining their identity,
and continuing to be active and voracious.
They grow rapidly, but do not reach ma
turily until they have cast off their skins
for the sixth time. A few kinds remain
wingless throughout their natural lives.
Cockroaches live upon both vegetable and
animal food as they can find it; sooth-
sayers are predaceous and carnivorous.
devouring weaker insects, even of their
own kind. Most other species of this
order subsist on vegetable food, such as
grass, flowers, fruit and the leaves and
bark of trees. An army of these vora-
cious creatures have great power of
destruction in the field or forest.
This whole order are divided into four
classes, viz, runners, graspers, walkers,
and Jumpers. The first class are earwios
and cockroaches, which are fitted nm
with legs for rapid motion. They are
regular " tramps." The sooth-sayers have
long shlnks, armed with teeth, which are
evidently made for seizing and holding
their prey. These belong to the second
class. The spectres have slender and weak
legs, and have to move slowly. Such
come under the third division. Crickets,
and locusts get on better by
Jumping, because the hind legs are much
longer than the others. Now how is itp

APPLES FOR HoRSEs.-One of our cti-
zens. who usually keeps several dozen
work horses, informed us n few days
since that he occasionally fed sour apples
to his horses, with excellent results. They
are certain cure for worms. He recon-
mands from n half to Il whole pailful once
n week. Another citizen who has been in
the practice of keeping considerable
number of work horses on his farm, says
that he has been in the habit Of turning
his horses into che orchard in the fall,
where they could eat as many apples as
they liked. He found that they derived
much benefit from the feed, and gained
flesh much more rapidly than others
which did not receive an apple feed
Dirigo MHral
And they are just as good for COWS and
pigs. We have never had pigs do better
than this fall, when we have fed boiled
apples with meal.

We have given up largely of onr space
this week to the International Dairy Fair.
There is no doubt considerable benefit to
be derived in the way of advertising at
these fairs, and of course they must be
made self-supporting and more for people
cannot get them up, pay expenses and give
their time for nothing. But some OF their
rules will be novel to most of our readers,
we presume, as they are TO us. notably rule
3, which orders II Fee of two dollars for
each article entered. where the rule has
usually been so much for each exhibitor
who could enter all his goods by payment
of his entry fee. Now the man who enters
samples of butter must pay ten dollars.
Rule will prevent many Of our small
dairymen from competing in classes they
otherwise would. Whether this rule APP
plies TO the special premiums also, that is
whether the same lot of goods can com
pete for the regular prizes and special
premiums, we do not know, but have
written TO ascertain. Why butter made
in Vermont, in leading creamer and
sailed with Higgins salt, should need
three lots of the same butter to show it, we
cant see, exceptiit be to secure the extra
four dollars entry fees. Finally these two
rules explain pretty fully the query we
raised last week in printing Mr.. Bliss
communication, why so much money was
needed to secure our exhibit ut this fair.
AS matter of state pride we hope there
will he full exhibit from Vermont. and
personally we mean TO have little butter
there just to see our name in print and
have fail to show good butter by. There
must be some poor butter, OF how could
they judge of the good.
