Hrllrfoutr. I'rnn'athat othn | farmers may harr. thr hrnrfit of it. f.rt "ommumeation* br timely, ami br Aure that then are brief anil irrll pointed. A FAT wether at 20 month* and a pig that is slaughtered before it has I been fed over <mu winter, are more I profitable at these age* than if longer kept. This being plainly the fact, how important it is that those inter ested in feeding stock of any kind should keep only those thai mature early and are rapid feeder*, and i should " push tilings" with them I "from their youth up." 'I iik calves will soon begin to , come, and we ought to raise all, or at | least the most of them, certainly nil the heifers, nnd the more promising ; hulls. Mow to do this successful!v, 1 and yet have the use of the cow's 1 milk, so much needed at this time I for either family use or for market, is the vexing problem, lly the aid of the experience of others, added to a little hard thinking of our own, we are just now doing this very thing, and to our entire satisfaction. Think ing it may help other* out of a tight place, we will tell how we manage. Of course, wo let the calf suck three or four days—until the milk lieeoine* tit for use. This for the Is in-fit of both cow and calf. When ail danger of "cake" in the cow's bag lias ceas ed, and the calf is well on its legs, we remove it as far from the cow a* possible, tie it up in a comfortable place with a strap and ro|ie, end let it remain twenty-four hours without offering it anything to eat. At this linn- we take a little m-w- fresh milk . in a bucket, fasten it securely within reach of the calf, put it* nose in tin milk once or twice, and tln-n leave it. In the course of half an hour or so, the milk has diap|K-ared, and the calf is "weaned." Continue the new milk for a week or ten day*, and tln-n begin adding skimmed milk in small quantities. Pay by day in j crease the skimmed milk, and dimin ish the new, until by the time the calf is three weeks old, you have it on skimmed milk entirely, (if course, skimmed milk is "too thin" to grow a calf upon to the Ix-st advantage, and when we have got to the point at which one-half of it* daily final con sists of this, we enrich it by adding small quantities of a thin gruel made by boiling equal part* of fine corn meal, oil meal and middling* in water. e have a half-Alderney calf, six wicks old on the day of this writing, which has been *o far raised on pre cisely this plan, and we could not with il to lie in finer condition. 11y 'he time it was three weeks old we were feeding it principally on skin.- mcd milk, with the gruel a Mod, and since it was four weeks old it has had no new milk at all. Without having kept any record, we are convinced ! that the butter already sold from its dam will more llian pay for all the , calf will have cost when it arrive* at four month* of age. The one thing to be rememlierod i* that the change* ; in feet! must be made by easy stages a little at a time, day by day—rather than in larger quantities nnd nt longer period*. Setting Milk for Cream. i 11-nry SUsratl.ln Ratal Ms* Vli*r. The greatent mistake* in the dairy I are made in setting the milk for cream. In the family dairy, where one cow supplies milk and butter, the arrange ment* arc usually better than in some farm dairies. Here the arrangement* arc often surprisingly had. I h*ve seen the milk of lour cows set in a sleeping-room, under the l>ed. The young woman who mnnnged that dai ry prided herself on her good butter. 'V hat she knew of had butter inu*t have been fearful to contemplate. In some farm-houses the milk is wet in the living room where the cooking t and eating are done, and where, in the evening; the farmer and the hired man atnoke-tiieir pipe* and dry their wet hoots and sock* under the ntove. No wonder some person* prefer oleo margnrine to butter mnde in that fashion. If these lines come under the notice of any one, man or woman, who keeps milk under sueh circum stance* a* these, or in any way ap proaching to them, I would say to him or her, that good butter cannot l>e made in that way, and the labor spent over it in only half or quarter paid for. The first necessity in netting milk i* perfect purity of place and sur rounding*. Then there bliould be the following adjunct*: A moderate circulation of fresh and moist air. Shelve* rained at least three feet from the ground. A temperature not over GO in Summer, and not Inflow 1". in Win ter. Perfectly clean utensils ami very little light. It matters little how or where these conditions are secured ; that they ore secured is sufficient. The following reasons may be given, viz.: milk readily absorbs odors and the odors are concentrated in the cream ; with stagnant air the natural odor of the fresh milk, which is disagreeable to some persons, cannot be removed ; in the dry air the cream beeomes of a leathery toughness and often pro duces specks in the butter, and always makes an inferior quality. When milk is kept on the ground in a cellar or milk-house, il is brought into con tact with the coldest air in which all the bad odors of the place arc con j densed. At a higher temperature j than GO the milk will sour and often 1 thicken Is-fore the ereain lias risen, I and to have the licst butter, the cream should be taken from sweet milk. At a lower temperature than IV the color of the ereain is much lightened, ami the butter will IK* too 1 light in color : beside*. there is dan ger of freezing, ami frozen cream will not make good butter. If the milk pans are not sweet and clean, the milk will sour to soon. With too much light the butter will not have tli' licit, deep color that is desired. Among our Exchangee.

[ J *4* l, l|.-yw4*, in A-rco-sti liseUti There arc time* when practice and theory do not apparently agree, and winter pruning is a caw in point, j The older gardener* have lain taught that frs-wli wound*, during cold freez- ! ing weather, would not heal ; that disease would certainly *et in,causing death or permanent injury to a peir -1 (ion of the tree at least. Theory j certainly teache* that w hen the inner | organism of the wood i* exposes!, the ' air at a low tem|teralure will freeze j the delicate jiarts. and death must { result; yet we find our nurserymen | of latter year* pruning their tree*! • luring very cold weather, on account of the |>er*onal comfort to themselves,i arising from the dry, firm ground to walk on; and no ill effect* arise therefrom. The old adage of "prun ing whenever your knife iw sharp," ia not ao far from the truth after all, although prrjudirc, at least, will in cline n* to defer the operation until the mild day* of early spring. How to prune i * question of difll-j cult solution, owing to the individual experience and preference of our teacher* in the matter. A ayatem that ha* proved entirely naliafactory to more than one, is performed somehow in this wise. In the earlier stages of the tree'a life, after it ha* liecome established in the orchard or garden, aclect three branches, a* nearly a* possible to gether, and at a height from the ground depending upon the desired length of l>ody. These three branches should diverge at equal angles, and resemble what botanists often term a "ichnrh" Kigbteen inches above this j whorl, another set of three branches should lie encouraged to start out, and 1 all others lietween the two seta must be ruhlied or cut off. This arrange ment of hranrhea must he continued as the leading shoot increases in height. As to the side brancbiets, growing out of the selected branches, these must I* thinned out with judg ment, allowing only sufficient to remain to form an open healthy top. If headed in too much, a crowded head will result, which la a waste ■ of vitality. Pruning causes strong • growth, but at the same time it will he at the expense of the tree'* con atUution. The main point* in pruning tree* may be Hummed up in a very few word*. Commence when the plant i* i very young, and no harm will result from removing the Mender young twig*, for if allowed to remain until they uHsume the size of thick branchc*, | more or lea* injury will result. Me Hiire to give the cut portion of large wound* a coating of shellac dissolved in alcohol, or when very large, wrap up in'moiat clay and cow manure. Dull tool* invariably leave a rough jagged surface which is more dilllcult to heal than a perfectly smooth cut. In the ornamental department, no set rule* ciln be laid down to guide '! the inexperienced arboriculturist, but any one with an eye for symmetrical ! proportion* can induce the head of a i favorite iqiecimeti to assume proper proportion* and outline. If the tree | incline* to become straggling, with i long shoot*, bare of branchlets, they I must I*' well headed back : awl if tbe limb* spread too much, cut to an inside hud, but if on the contrary, j they grow too closely together, then select an outside bud to cut back to. It is preferable to encourage a straight leading shoot to all trees, and never allow it to fork under any circumstance!*. More trees are in jured by high winds when in the latter condition, than from any other source. Too Much Ice-House. V ! Curtis In X. V Tribune We were for three years the victim of too much ice-bOu*e. Our* was a fancy one with a nice cupola ou top, a stone foundation built up in mortar and air-tight, covered with matched siding and neatly painted. It wa* close as a jug and lined with sawdust, which was packed in between a board lining ami the siding. We ha/I a lit tle square hole left on the cast side for extra ventilation. The building was a lean-to on the north side of the kitchen, ami fronted toward the north. There were but two outside*, the north and cast. The roof wrls very , Hat and made of tin. For fear this would get hot and affect the tempera ture of the ice-house we painted it, and this made it la*t longer, and then we put a ceiling overhead to break the effects of the heat if any should corne through. Most jieople would say, now ton are all right, fill it up with ice and it will keep. It did not, and so we shut up the extra ventilator on the east side, but this did not make tbe ice keep. We got out of i ice Iw f re the summer was half gone. During the rest of the season w-e talked ice-house to everybody we , thought knew anything about it. j One man w ho was in the business ex tensively said the trouble was in the stone wall which made the founda tion. "Ice." lie said, "would not keep near stones, and they donbtless ; cariied the heat inside.'' Wc could not very well remove the foundation, so we tried to remedy it* efloct by putting plenty of saw-dust between it and the icc. We also added another ventilating hole on the floor, and put a blind on it with open shutters. The next year the icc kept l>etter, but not as J wanted it. We were on the right track, and the next year, when we took the blind out and left, all the ventilator* ojen. the ice kept good. This is the way we learned the secret of keeping ice, which is. plenty of saw-dust and plenty of ventilation ; without these, no matter how fancy the house is, and how many theories and rules have been carried out, the ice will not keep. A noighlmr always has plenty of ice, anil he does not have any ice-house at all. He pack* it in a square body under the cowshed, which has a > northern exposure, and covers it thickly with saw-dust, which he packs as firmly a* he can, setting up hoards I on end around the pile to keep the sawdust in place. He is careful to hare the first tier of icc high enough from the ground so that water will not reaeh it. He puts the sawdust a foot thick around the ice, and three I feet thick on the top. A pile of ice f feet high, & feet wide and 8 feet long will make 384 cubic feet. And this is enough for ; the use of an ordinary family for the : table and to cool the cream, etc. Six team loads fill an ice house which ! contains about 400 cubic feet. The blocks should lie out as smooth as possible and then Ice must lie chop ped up fine and crowded in between the pieces so as to mskc a solid mass. The closer the icc is packed, and the more solid the mass is united together, the better It will keep. When an ice house is too close, there is a great deal of condensation, which makes the whole contents wet and dripping, and causes the ice to melt rapidly. The air must be kept as dry at possible I always like to see the top of the sawdust dry. The more ice there is in a pile, the Iwtter it will keep, A small quantity must be covered dee|>er and thicker than a large mass. A large mass will almost keep itself. It does not require the protection of sawdust, but straw or a double wall of boards will be ample. Every person who makes butter should have ice. It will Bore than pay for use in tbe dai ry, and then for the family it ia a luxury every provident man should supply.
