quently recommended pasturing sheep in
orchards, for the destruction of the codling
worm, rs we'll as to keep them closely
grazed by feeding on the grass, and to en-.
rich the ground with their droppings; and
the subject is of sufficient Importance to
bear many repetitions. We find in an ex.
change an account of the successful treat
ment OF an orchard, without giving the
name of the owner, but from the state
ment 1t is evidently that of J. s. Wood
ward, Of Lock port. The following Is
briefly the substance of the statement:
The orchard occupies thity-two acres, and
is made the run of thirty nogs and one
hundred and fifty or two hundred sheep
and lambs during summer. Enough grain
and bran Is given them to place them in
gooI condition. They eat every blade Of
grass and green thing close down, and
every fallen apple as soon AS dropped, fol
which purpose sheep are better than hogs
which sleep so soundly as not to hear an
apple fall but the sheep are always on
hand and devour every one as soon rs it
touches the ground. The fruit each year
grows fairer, and with fewer wormy
specimens, and the manure from feeding
| SO much grain has given healthy growth
to the trees. To prevent the animals from
gnawing the bark. the trunks are washed
once a month with mixture of soapsuds
whale oil soap. and sheep manure. If the
animals are given Il constant supply ol
fresh water, they have less disposition to
eat the bark. The profits of this treatment
consist in placing the sheep in best c0ndi-
ton, in finely growing lsmos, and in
heavy crops of fruit for market.-COuntrl

Broad Tires.

One OF our city contemporaries has been
rnergetically advocating broad-tire wagon
wheels as a means of saving the pave
menls. 1t urges the passage of an ordi-
nance compelling the use of broad tires on
AL wagons intended to carry ton or more
in weight, claiming that it would save
thousands of dollars TO the city every year.
lfsuch a policy is demanded in the city
it is mnch more so in the country where
The soft dirt roads are cut up and rendered
almost impossible in soft weather. Broad
tires would not only prevent cutting up,
hut would actually make the roads better
by acting as roller, COMPRISING the
earth and making it firmer. Chicago pa
pers have been urging this reform for
several years p tat, on the grounds of alb
,olule necessity in fiat prairie country
where graveling and turnpiking will long
remain impossibilites on account of the
experse, and where it is impossible to
construct firm road bed with The materi
al at hand.
But still the reform makes slow prog
ress, and this in the face of the fact that
there is not single objection TO be urged
against broad tires, save. perhaps, the
Looks. Every argument is in favor of
them, for the country. They are more
economical. On this point our contem po-
rary referred to says:
| 1t has been proved by figures again and
again that with narrow tires, wagon
carrying loads of two tons costs nearly OF
quite one hundred dollars a year for re
pairs, while with wide tires, carrying three
TONS, its wear and tear costs but ten dollars
a year. Narrow tired wagons have life
of less than two years. broad tired n lif,
of three to four years. Hauling over lawns
meadows, soft or plowed grounds, tn,
advantage of the broad tire is simply be
yond estimate. A practical man and saw
mill owner away out west, writing on thi
subject says: Last year we bought set
If new broad tire wheels and put on GU
old wagons to hanl our lumber over th
hree miles of sandy road lying between
our mill and tn, wharf. The result VIA
hat one team took nine hundred feet O
green lumber instead of six hun tired, an
just easy, and kept the road in such goo
onditlon that the repairs cost us almos
nothing. The saving on each wagon WA
$ll.25 per month, which soon paid for tn
wheels. The use of broad tires in cities

COST If | could be guaranteed the amour
. Of money saved in repairing streets. an
the extra price of the greater weight hau
ed al each load by using broad tires, and
would pay a round sum for the monopt
! ly."
This subject will bear discussion. Loo
1t over carefully. and the next wagon "

CURING Corn FODDER.--The chief diff
Gully farmers experience in curing corn
fodder, is in keeping the stocks upright
while the fodder is drying. As the stalks
wit they become Timber and gradually
settle, usually most on one side, and then
he stocks falls over and IS exposed to ali
the rain that falls while the bottom that
comes in contact with the earth decays
Corn, to cure we'll and keep sound, must
stand upright, the extreme ends of The
butts only touching the earth, while the
tops are so drawn together as to keep out
most of the rain. We do not like to bind
corn in bundles fol stocking, rs it is very
apt to mould and rot under the bands
There is teo little chance for air to come to
each stock and carry away its surplus
moisture. If no bands are used the stocks
may be MADE very much larger, and thus
less corn will be exposed on the surf ce of
the stocks to the action of the weather. A
pretty fair sized one. horse load of fodder
may be cured in a single stock if il is well
built. A good way is to set firmly in the
ground small stake or large sized bean
pole, around which a few armiuls OF corn
is set and bound securely near the top.
This makes "a firm centre around which TO
build. Then set up more corn, placing it
evenly all around, and leaning it no more
than is necessary to have 1t stand When
enough is placed to make large stock
all that can cure, draw rope, with "A slip
moose in one end. around the stock rs light
as convenient, using n step ladder tn stand
upon. if the corn is very TALL An assistant
Can now bind with straw band or with
selected stalks, after which the rope may
be removed. II doing the work alonc, the
rope can be tied while the band Is being
put on. Corn fodder well put mp in this
way, may be kept if desired, in the field
till winter.-N. b. Farmer.

income. Mr.. Miller is not an apostle of
poor feeding. as beside what hay or grass
they will eat. he gives them each four
quarts twice day of feed composed Of
one part corn meal and two parts wheat
bran, and bis cows last week averaged
eight pounds Of butter per head. Mr..
Miller at one time, in trying TO see how
much butter per week he could get from
fsvorite COW, fed her ten quart pan full
of corn meal three times day, and got
over twenty pounds OF butter. but before
the second week was out the COW refused
her feed entirely. II isn't safe to carry
high feeding to too great lengths.
The Fairbanks herd was also on the
grounds. and are too well known TO need
more than mere mention.
The sheep were all long woods, with one
exception, and few of those.
Horses made fair show.
Poultry made a small show, and In fora
hall, which was handsomely trimmed with
evergreens, the exhibit was much smallel
than last year.
There were very few apples. J. P. Eos
ter of Passumpsic showed thirty one
varieties of good looking fruit.
There were more entries of butter,
cheese and sugar than at Montpelier, but
hat could well be- and not overburden the
committees.
One new article caught our attention.

which are twisted green and dried. then
picked apart like curled bair and used for
a mattress. 1t is fragrant and is claimed
to have curative qualities. and if it does
not mat down will make good bed
In farm machinery and agricultural
implements there was no exception to the
rule of meagre display. There were the
standard machines which show every
year for advertising purposes, but nothing
new except a wood burning steaming APP
paralus for steaming feed, heating water,
ETC., which seemed TO us not to BIZ rs ecu
nomical in fuel as was necessary to make
il desirable.

Indifferent trUts.
The trots Thursday took in some of the
better horses which were at Montpelier
Gambler, Little Fortune, Maud Ray and
others.
This fair is no exception to the others
we have attended of greatly diminished
exhibits; and fairs, as agricultural and
mechanical institutions, seem to be playing
out, and some new departure must be
made or they must gradually become Il
kind of annual circus, or,cease to exist.

The pretty muslin ties with silk en-
broidered ends Can be washed and made to
look about as good as new again. Wash
tie muslin in quite strong suds, holding
the ends out of the suds with your left
hand, then when the plain part is clean,
get some fresh water, make a weak suds
and rinse the whole tie in it, squeezing it
in your hand, not wringing it, then dip the
tie in cold water in which you have put a
title buing and n bit of starch. Then lay
the tie (whie wet) on perfectly clean
ironing board. Pin the ends out carefully
just as you wish them to look when dry,
then lay thin cloth over the plain part
and iron it dry, but do not iron the ends,
as the hot iron will fatten the silk embroi.
derry so it will not look well. Let it re.
main on the board until dry. If the ends
are inclined to draw and will not hang as
you wish them to, then take piece of
flannel. double it and lay the ends on that
and press lightly with an iron that is Just
warm. The ties are too pretty and cost
too much to De thrown aside when soiled,
hence the experiments which led to these
results.

winter let Them shell it for themselves,
after giving each ear blow or two with
the hammer or something of that kind to
start the kernels. This gives them ex
ercse and keeps them from eating too
much. One would think they would not
get enough to eat in this way; but if kept
before them in clean dry place, they will
keep fat. Give them each morning what

DAISIES AND THTsTLEs.-The OK eve
daisy Is IT perennial plant; yet if il is not
allowed to ripen its seed, the vitality of the
root is soon exhausted, and it will disap
pear. SINE claim that if kept closely cut
it will not survive more than two years
The writer has cleaned a roadside which
was covered with it. by repeated cuttings
and not allowing the seed to ripen. Some
times the cutting was done a number of
times in a season, and now only here and
there plant makes it's appearance. In a
wet season like the present, docks may be
pulled up by the roofs, but in dry season
II will be found nearly impossible to do so
fhistles are great nuisance, but may be
reduced. and in many cases killed, by cut
ting two or three times in season. Then
If the land is heavily MANFRED, so that a
heavy crop of grass is encouraged to
grow, they will be seriously checked, if
not entirely destroyed. No plant can long
survive constant and close Gu ting, rs the
root soon becomes exhausted unless the
top is allowed to grow and draw nutriment
from the atmosphere, and thistes are no
except ion to the rule. The great trouble
is that people make no effort to prevent
their growth, but complain of their pres.
euce and spread.
