All stock that do not have the advantages of
pasture should be given a meal of grass or
bulky food at least once Il day
Where "A piece of land is not fit for cultiva-
walton, yet produces a growth of some kind,
even of weeds, IL may be devoted to sheep, as
sheep will eat young weeds readily.
During the last three months of 1857, there
were $50 cattle attacked by pleuropneumOnia
in Great Britain, Il considerable decrease from
the returns Of the year before.
The market for fat sheep shows these DAYS
very clearly that the man who remembers that
carcasses as well as feeces are to be sold
from his flock Is the shepherd who is going to
win.
The way to build up the sheep industry is to
weed out the fiockS, 30 for greater capacity for
mutton and increase in the individual, and put
"a small flock on every farm, where they will
pay their way.
An Illinois farmer in an attempt to get the
best of a livestock trade, gave the swine he had
just sold all the salt water they would drink.
In consequence, fourteen of them, worth $50,
died before he could get them of his hands.
The real value of root crops in the economy
of farm feeding is the change they furnish
from dry feed To which the stock is subjected
through the long winter months. 4 light feed
every few days helps the animal to digest and
assim2ate the coarse dry food that is his usual
ration.
The MARBLES or punches on the backs of the
cattle may be killed by puncturing them
through the entrance hole with an awl or by
Swinging in a few drops OF earbolic acid
slightly diluted. Ii let alone each grub will
make another gadhy TO torment the cattle the

Ii was David Dickson'S method 10 use twenty

clay soils, or comparatively rough lands, siding
with three.inch scooter with u proper board

Our practice is to side the entire crop first and
then break out the mddleS. Sometimes itmay
be expedicnt TO side with small scooter and
then finish out with sweeps or culiivators. The

An Average vineyard.
IDnylsvllle lCnl.- sIgnnl.-


Webster Treat, of the Oak Shade orchard, cul-
tiyates about fifty acres of NluScatcl uisin
grapes. The vines are now about ten years old.
In 1856 his vineyard yielded 10000 pounds of
crude risins. This last year he packed 10000
pounds from the same vines. lie packed his
entire 1857 crop loose. and realized about 81 40
per box therefor. Mr.. Treat estimates that the
cost OF cultlNating mature misin vineyard,
per acre, including picking, curing packing
and marketing his crop. al about $40. OF
course, this estimate is subject 10 contingencies,
but is rs close 10 the fact as 4 general state
ment may be. BaSing u calculation upon this
statement then, we arrive ga the conclusion
that Mr.. Treat charges up about $500 expenses
against his vineyard per year. Taking the two
last years together the total yield was ll00OO
pounds or 800 boxes. Surprising hc averaged
Sl.40 per box, the gross returns for the two
years from this ftty-acre vineyard were 200.
Deducting 81 600 for expenses for two years and
there remains SEQ net profit an average net
profit of $3.50 per year, or So clear gain per
acre. These are not boom figures concoctcd
for the purpose OF dccsiving the crcdulous
tenderioot We believe this representation is
a fair and honest showing of what there is in
fruit culture in and around Davisvllc. When
il comes down 10 sober fact, no locality in the
state can justly boast of "a better average.

The potato crop becomes OF more importance
every year. The portion of the country that is
adapted to the profitable production of potatoes
for the market is comparatively small. II does
not extend south of the fortieth degree OF lati-
tude, except in Il few favored places among the
mountains or in districts that can be irrigated.
Land that is very dry quite moist is not suit
ed for this crop. The black soil of the great
pfairieS does not produce very good potatoes
4 hard clay soil is entirely unsuitable for p0ta-
toes, it is difficult pulvcrize it at planting
time, while twill become compact after heavy
rain that is followed by hot sun. 4 sandy
soil is suitable for raising early potatoes as II
will contain considerable moisture during May
aud June. For late varieties a rich loanlf, best.
Land that has never been cropped and which is
not covered by firm sod is generally to be pre-
ferred, as it contains much potash and lime.
An inverted clover or old pasture sod can ordi-
narily be relied upon to produce large crop
of fine potatoes.
