A Dairy Farm.

A correspondent of the American
Cultivator writes | recently visited
the farm of 5. j. Hastings, Waterford,
consisting of 400 acres of land, of
which 100 acres are i'll wood, 100 in til
lage and 200 in pasturage. This farm
has been managed with skill and bears
the marks of permanent value. Ten
years ago but twenty head of cattle
could be supported on this farm, while
last year Mr.. Hastings's stock embraced
fifty five head of cattle, twenty sheep
and four horses, Il notable difference in
favor of present management. | was
led to ask Mr.. Hastings, "Whence
comes this marked improvement ~
"Thorough cultivation of the soil,
which includes not only that the soil
should be crushed, pulverized and pre-
pared as nearly like Il garden as it is
practicable, but that for every crop re-
moved some equivalent must be re-
turned to restore the partially exhaust
ed soil. To meet the necessity for fer
tilizing material to supply this deticien-
cy | practice feeding out to my stock
the grain raised upon my farm. 1t is
also desirable in certain cases to apply
phosphates in the raising of crops"
Butter making is the speciality on
this farm. Jersey blood is selected for
this dairy. OF the twenty cows MIXED
last year One-half were full blood, the
other half grades. Mr. Hastings made
$3.50 pounds of butter, which he sold
for $4,000, or an average of thirty two
cents per pound. His milk room is
most conveniently arranged. The
large wet pan is used for setting the
milk. The butter is made into half
pound balls, stamped ''gilt-edgen in
the centre, with the letter II, and Il
strawberry leaf in the corners. Every
Tuesday morning the principal part of
the butter is forwarded to Providence,
r. l., though a moderate supply is sent
to st. Johnsbury market each Satur-
day. A larger quantity of butter is
made in winter than in summer. Pro-
vision is made that two or three new
mich cows should come i'll each month.
The system of feeding is to commence
giving grain after haying, say two
quarts of shorts and one of meal per
day to each COW, with lunch of green
fodder corn and oats. In the fall, after
the animals are brought to the barn
and are fed on hay, the daily ration of
grain is increased to two quarts of
shorts and two quarts of meal.
Mr.. Hastings also devOtes much
space and attention to breeding and
rearing the POland-China hog. A
building 20X65 has been erected for the
keeping of this breed of swine sep&-
rate from other kinds. This building
is divided into pens to hold from two
to ten hogs each. The barn and dwell
ing are models of their kind, while the
surroundings Indicate neatness and
care, with due regard to the health and
comfort of man and beast.

American Pork in Europe.

1t is stated that the German govern
ment proposes to prohibit the impor-
tatiOn of American swine, pork and
Sausages, because of the frequent ex-
istence therein of trichinOsis. This
has created a stir among the exporters
in New York, one of whom said "Such
action would be disastrous, as Ger
many has been large buyer of our
hog meats. Germany has in the past
enacted Il progressive tax on our hog
products, and the contemplated action
is simply a system of protection in dis
guise. Under the plea of protecting
the health of the people, they protect
their own agriculturists. The French
prohibitive decree was also more a
protective measure in the interest of
agriculturists than a sanitary necessity.
1t was for the sake of protection that
England ordered all American cattle
to he slaughtered as soon as landed.
There is no cause for the contemplated
action of the German government, as
there are no reports or complaints any
where of the disease known as trichi-
nOsis. However, if prices should be
kept as high as they are at present, so
that pork is held as luxury, any pro-
hibitOry decree would not affect us. 1t
is likely that before we have much of
a surplus product, any action that may
be taken will have been rescinded."
Another dealer said: "With a large
surplus of hog products, business in
this country would be materially af-
fected, but the high prices of pork dur
ing the past year have virtually been
prohibition of exports. Prices, how
ever, are tending lower. This can be
seen by the difference in the price of
wheat which year ago was SLAP a
bushel, against ninety-twO cents now.
We were also importing potatoes and
beans from Italy and Germany, but
this year our crops are again large.
You may readily see how it would
effect us if our hog meats were prOhib-
tied from being sent to Germany, as
for the year ending June 30, 1881, that
country took from US 1894 live hogs,
valued at SOS, 425 45, 679, 444 pounds
of bacon, valued at -, 952 $50; 1870
;$26 pounds of hams, valued at Sl72 ,655,
and l, 455,646 pounds of pork, valued
at Sos ,2lS, or total value of 81, 292, =
80 of hog products"

interesting things of this fair. The

trio lights in the evening, were beauti-
full. There were two rooms in the ex-
tremities of the building. In the east
