ADVANTAGES of Selling.

Soiling is the practice Of growing
crops to be cut and fed green and fresh
to cattle in stables and yards. The ad
eantages are several. The supply Of
feed and water can be regulated pre-
cisely; the COWS do not exhaust them
selves in wandering over the pasture
in the hot sun; they are not worried
by flies if provided with shades in the
yards; the fodder or grass is not vast
ed by trampling, or soiled by drop
pings; an acre of ground can be made
to keep COW the entire year with con-
siderable economy Of land and labor.
The manure is all saved; the quantity
and quality of milk are the same all
through the season; the labor of con-
trolling the COWS is lessened the fields
do not require inside fences, and the
cost Of these and the land which they
would occupy are saved. Against all
these advantages must be set off the
labor of carrying the crops to the cows
which is very small item. Soiling
cannot be practiced profitably every
where, but on high priced land it is
the only system by which the products
can be increased proportionately to
the value of the land, and an equitable
lrofit gained.
Cold weather is approaching; tight
en- mp the poultry houses SO that the
fowls will be as comfortable as possible
during the winter. Lay in good sup
ply of oyster shells or burnt bone or
bone dust, so that the hens may have
some good shell producing food
Give the house thorough whitewash-
ing. See that the perches are strong
and firmly held up. Fix the nests !;
put in c'ean straw, and dust a little
sulphur in them.

Amber Cane for Syrup.

The prospect for more general ef-
fort to secure the supply of sugar from
home crops, instead of sending our
millions of money abroad for the same
should induce the farmers of this coun-
try to plant lot Of the seed for that
purpose, which, if not prepared for the
sugar making at present, will we'll re-
pay in the product of syrup without
fail. One who is familiar with the
subject publishes the following in
structions for the management Of the
crop:
Commence with the selection of a
suitable ground, which should be or
binary dry pillow land, such as would
bring good crop of corn. If to be
manured with fresh barnyard manure
it should be put on the land in the
fall, and plowed in, and plowed again
in the spring. Wood ashes, guano and
phosphates are better manures used
in the hill or broadcast, and in the hills
also, if the planter can treat his land
so literally.
Planting.-Which should be done
Us early in the spring as is safe from
frost, by narrowing the ground level
and marking each way 81 feet, and
planting on top of the ground covering
only half inch of fresh earth, and
pressing it on the seeds with the back
of the hoe or fork.
CuHiuution.-Should commence as
soon as the cane is up enough to fol-
low the rows, either with hoes in line
of the hills, to kill all weed seed which
will start to grow at the same time; or
with horse and cultivator, leaving the
line of rows as narrow as possible and
following with the hoe in a few days,
thinning to not more than four canes
in hill, so as to secure large canes
with large white pith. which con-
tains all the juice necessary in making
syrup. All the succeeding steps in
cultivation are the same as for corn
Plow often and we'll, keeping the weeds
cultivated down, and after July the
cane will take care of itself until the
time for cutting, which should be done
when the seeds are passing from the
milk into the matured kernal. Cane
should never be cut until it is in the
milk.
Stripping is most conveniently done
done while the cane is standing, by
taking light piece of lath about two
feet long and passing between the rows
striking down the stalks, leaving the
severed leaves between the rows to be
cared for, for fodder after the cane is
cut.
Cutting Cane.-Can easily and rap
idly be accomplished by providing
Yourself with jack. 81 nilar to saw
buck, in which to lay the cane as it is
cut, and binding with two bands of its
own leaves or straw, making the bum
dies not more than eight inches in dia-
meter, as it is very heavy. Leave the
seed on until bound, when it can be |
topped as it is taken to the mill, which
should be as soon as possible after the
cutting, within ten days.
1ieM per Acre.-I4ike corn and 9TH
er crops, it varies widely under the
care, management and soil upon which
it is raised. An ordinary good crop
should produce from 100 to $50 gall
Ions per acre, of syrup. Cane grown
on sod and bog meadow land yields a
dark colored syrup.

founded, in local military circles, that
Gen. Israel G. Smith, of Grand
Rapids, who was appointed to the
command, of the First Brigade Of
State Troops, at the close of the Island
Lake encampment, last August, will
decline the position. Gen. Smiths
business interests are chiefly in Wis

If one small error in the ARGUS

would be the result if he should hap

rule of proportion, he would be apt
to 60 crazy, if such a thing was pos
sible. While in his present typo
graphical state Of mind his friends
should be careful and not allow him
to read copy Of the organ, for we
will not be responsible for the conse-

blunders and vacuum should attract
his attention. We did not think that
typographical error would effect
him so, poor fellow.

Montmorency Items.

From the Montmorency Index
The river was almost as high yes
terday as at any time last spring when
there was flood on for driving, which
was caused by the heavy rain Of Mon
day.
The contract for building bridge
over Brush Creek was let to James
Hunt for $497, and the work will
soon be commenced.
Wolves are reported plentiful on
the ridge this season, and Mr.. Kline
can start them bowling almost any
evening by going out of doors, and
blowing his claronet.
Mrs. j. Kline, and Miss Kline
were scared one day last week by three
bears, following them,-the bears
keeping a few rods from the road and
almost opposite them. After quite q
chase the ladies followed and the
bears halted, much to the pleasure Of
the ladies.

The schooner Skylark had her
maintopmast and main boom carried
away while working into Thunder
Bay the latter part Of last week.
The maintopmast was nearly rotted
through were the break occurred and
was prevented from falling on deck by
the rigging attached to it. The main
boom was broke in jibing. The wind
being ahead, the schooner had to re-
main near the mouth of the bay until
a harbor tug came and towed her in,
as she could not work against the
wind without mainboom. Anew boom
and topmast was made for her at this
port. The Skylark had on board H.
900 bushels of oats and 1000 bushels
of corn for Alpena parties. Her
commander, Captain Councer, claims
the honor Of having brought the first
load of grain to Alpena-over twenty
years ago. He describes Alpena as
"big small place." meaning that, for
the size of it, there is a large amount
of business done in it. He finds con-
siderable difference between the AL
pena he saw when he first came here,
and the Alpena of the present day.
