A few pies and little currant wine
were as much as expected. and often
more than realized. Pay proper atten-
ton to currants and they will pay we'll.
What would the world do without pO-
tatOes? And yet itdid do without them
until about three hundred and fifty
years ago.
Brazil sends us Sixty-nine per cent of

Z The woman who creates by her work
and smiles happy home, and raises a
family Of children to worthy manhood
and wOmanhOOd, is the nOblest work Of
God, and is more entitled to the honor
and praises of mankind than the but
terfiy of fashion in the political OF fash
i0nable world.
IL Mr.. James Wilson, in the Homestead,
speaks OF few things that do not pay !:
Eight draft horses, cows which will av-
erage $50 pounds of butter, steers which
SelkfOr 81 cents, sheep for wool only,
ll-kept hogs, twenty-five bushels of
cOrn per acre, more than two acres to
craze a COW. etc.
i If for any reason. says the Jersey Bull
letin, you do not wish to keep or sell a
bull calf as breeder, do not veal him,
the best quality of beef that can be
made under cowhide. Don't throw
away so valuable a by-product.
A contemporary says: "The breeders
and feeders of Great Britain and the
continent of Europe buy the oil cake
produced in this country by the ship
load, and have done so for many years,
taking nearly or quite all we produce"
A California provincial paper says:
/ Establish butter factory in HanfOrd
and build reputation for good butter,
and the COW will soon become queen in
Lucerne, and every farmer will want to
build little throne for her."
The wool clip of Montana bids fair to
be one of the best and the total product
of wool the largest ever produced.
Fully ten million pounds will be the
prOuuct of 1859, to which add the in
creased value of flocks.
1t is poor economy to feed cow that
does not yield largely. Every quart of
milk extra is clear gain over the usual
amount, and only the best cows should
be kept.
Farmers, provide your boys with a
good chest Of tools and let them learn to
make and mend things. They will find
pleasure and learn to be useful in the
work. d
Farming is at very low ebb in New
Hampshire. Most of the young farmers
from the White mountain state have
come West ''to grow up with the coan-
try"
The Wyandotte is quiet, docile bird,
and good winter layer. They are not
quite as easily raised as the Plymouth
Rocks, but this may overcome in time.
The Iowa farmers boast of having
raised enough corn last year to, pay off
all the farm mortgages in the state, and
leave balance Of lou. DOC, 900 bushels. :
Farmers, take notice: If your stock
does not come out in the spring better
than it went into winter quarters, you
may be sure you have lost money. -.
Don't breed too many kinds of fow Is
at the same time, unless you are going
into the business. Three or four will
give you your hands full. . e'--ssz 3
The Boston Transcript we'll says:
1.-THE best way to color butter is through
a. judicious selection Of cows and intel
hgent breeding"
3 In Kansas they are. making ssbuffalo
robes'' of the hides of Galloway cattle,
tanned with the thick, glossy and beau
stiful hair on.
Il Do not keep Bantam fowls around
with other stock. They are too pugna-
cious and cause trouble in the camp.
The great question for farmers to
solve is, how to reduce the cost of farm
products and increase the yield.
5 Eight cents per pound is the cost of
sending seeds by mail. The package

I A new clover, called the Borsim, from
Egypt, said to be superior to alfalfa, is

"A steer that can.ti the scale at two

Let the old and young fowls have as
large range as possible, the larger the
better. ~,
Old ducks never get lice. The oily
nature of their feathering prevents YER
min.
Save the best birds for next years
breeding, and send the others to mar
ket.
Never set a hen where others can get
