Langshans. = Langshans are the
smallest and most active Of the Asiatic
class. They are a practical fowl in
more senses than one, and their pro-
life laying and excellent qualities make
them a profitable fowl for the farmer
and market poultryman. They are one
of the oldest varieties Of poultry and
have always been held in popular es-
TEEN. The shape Of Langshans Is dis
tinct from that Of the Brahma or Co
chin, and should not be confused with
either Of the last-named varieties.

Draft of the pIov.

Our experiment stations are looking
into almost everything and among 9TH
er things endeayoring to determine the
amount OF the draft OF the plow that
is used for different parts OF the work.
At the University Farm Of New York
II was found that IS per cent OF the
total draft is used for cutting the fur
row, 80 per cent in overcoming the
friction of the sole and land slide. and
but twelve per cent in turning the fur
row. In 1867. Hon. J. Stanton Gould
found that So per cent was expended
in cutting the furrow, IS per cent In
overcoming the friction, and ten per
cent in turning the furrow. Pulver-
izing is done altogether by the mold
board in turning the furrow, and hence
the Importance of having the mold
board do precisely what the farmer
wants at particular time. Really ey-
cry pillow should have three or four diff
ferent mold boards; one II IL is desired
to throw the furrow fiat and cover up
rubbish, another IL II Is desired to kink
the furrow, leaving 1t rough as possible
in fall blowing, and perhaps one or
two more covering purposes between
these two extremes. We think there
will be good deal more attention paid
to matters Of this kind In the future
than in the past, as farmers are really
but beginning to study the subject OF
tillage.

Prices OF Butter and Cheese.--The
relation existing between the cheese
and butter solids Of milk is such thar
the producer receives equivalent va
ues ;or his milk when the Wholesale
price Of butter is approximately two
and one-half times as much as II IL
for cheese. When the ratio of prices
Is less than this. milk can be made
INTO cheese with more profit. AT the
present writing the market quotations
Of butter are about twice those of
cheese, and It should be noted that
greater activity is being shown in
cheese circles this spring than has
heretofore been the case for some
years.
