gOIJSE AND FARM. Someth Inc to Sell. One of the best and most success ,, farmers we ever knew, once told f rhirit was a rule with him to "Lys have something to sell, no 3 ,1 what time of the year. In ” he coring he always had seed grain , s „me sort— samples of wheat, l, s , barley, rye, corn, or potato?*, carrot seed, beet seed salt .pork, ” corned beef, or fat etock of le’sort. He had fonnd that U aid to take extra pains to have Ll trains or vegetables on hand in the spring; for since it had be come known that he always had these to sell, he found no difficulty in selling all that he had at prices that paid him for nil the extra trouble and care in: preparing and preserving them. Another thing be said he had found useful to him, and he did not understand why farmers did not practice 'it more. When he had a stock of anything to sell he announc ed che fact in the local papers, j-ust as tl e grocers and merchants do. HcbaiUound it profitable to pur chase space' in the paper by the year, and advertise his products according to season and the stock on hand. Thfen it was a part of bis creed to produce the best. His seed *as pure and clean ; his Stock fat and healthy; his fruit for sale was always perfect ; bis butter was gilt ed^ed; his hams were sugar-cured, smoked just enough, and people were always glad t 6 pay him two or three cents more per pound than for thosejbund at the grocers. He laid great stress upon the ad vantages of a home market for his products. His local reputation as a producer was of direct value to him, and he labored to keep it first class. His grain did not go in bulk to a grain buyer who mixed it with infe rior grades. It was to the local miller, who could afford to pay him more for it than the speculator, because he knewAhere were no screen ings in it to depreciate its value. Thus he always had ready recourc es. When we asked if <he did not find it more difficult to save his money when it came to him in drib bles, he replied, no. It was no more fofoeult for him to save than for the retail grocer or merchant. He de posited his money in bank, and only paid it out in shape of a check —ex- cept for personal expenses. While he sold at retail, he bought, so far as practicable, at wholesale. He sold tor cash or exchanged for some thing he needed—never trusted any man. He also bought tor leash, am| always had money on hand with which he could buy to advantage. Now this mode of dealing, we are ■aware, is not always practicable; lor all farmers do not live near large towns nor in populous districts; but it the farmer adopts a mixed system of husbandry, he may, al ways have something to sell that will meet a local want, Something to sell is what the farmer labors for. The l K st mode of selling it- is an equally important consideration; an, l °ur own experience and observ ation proves that there is no more profitable way than to try to supply >'ll local demands first, and then if a distant market must be sought for an y surplus, try to but that surplus 1,1 the least bulky shape possible. The Green House A gmj effect is readily produced K v introducing groups of mixed I'-iu's in pots from the green house a * 1' ’hits where walks join or cross cither, or in such other places a!> :l lT e:lr naked require tinting up Unn g the summer months. Sand, Si "''lust and stone coal;dishes are a -‘ et them good in forming a bed 1,1 "I'icli to plunge the pots. Aca- Cl;is i Diosmas, Metrosideros >and Eucalyptus are the kincf of plants for this purpose, while others, as Camellias, which have jr ge smooth leaves, convert a par i':il shade while out in air. r,e cannot but admire the taste e labor bestowed by «I • great masses of people possess* ' a g property on the Continent of urope, where every conceivable ‘ e ' ice is resorted to in preserving irinjr the winter the pet Oleanders, Jasmines, Eugenias, Myr | cs, Russelios and Sweetbays, which u - » rnw in tubs, fancy vases, or Pots. With these the terrace and a Kns are adorned, while at the cot- '■ tag© door aid flower j>artorr© they are set oat as the garden gods of the proprietor. In our . own )land we see the same taste taking fast hold of the people* who thus add to domestic* happiness through Flora's refining process. Some people prefer to have their conservatories adorned daring the summer months with only one or two geneva of plants such asOaladl urns or Acbimenes, while others ae lect a mixed assortment of such things as Begonias, Gesnerias, Ti deas, Gloxineas, Acbimenes and Caladiums. Now the effect produc ed by all these, when well grown, and at the same time intermingled with a goodly sprinkling of the graceful Ferns, affords more satisfaction, be cause a more artistic arrangement can be made, and moreover, the eye is gladdened by a greater variety of forms. In speaking of forms-in plants thepiselves, we would remind our readers that among Orchids, or Air plants, in their flowers, a still greater variety in colors and singu larity of forms present themselves, some of them resembling doves, butterflies, bees and spiders, and the singular names by which some of these lovely plants are known in South America are not deemed proper for a Christian to repeat. People of taste and means are be ginning In this country collections of this lovely tribe, but unfortunately their cultivation will never become universal, as they re quire more care than people in gen eral are willing to bestow on such subjects, therefore the Rose, Gera niurh and Heliotrope must still hold the high place they have attained in public estimation. The principle work to be performed under glass at this season will consist in tying up creepers,- shifting into larger pots any young growing plants that may require it, not neglecting to use the syringe freely, so as to keep up a humid atmosphere and hold insects in subjection, but remember that delicate flowers are often injured by receiving too much water over head. Corn Fodder. Corn for fodder may be sowm from the first of Jane till the middle of July with success, the variety of corn is adapted to the season of sowing. Very large crops are ob tainetTby some farmers by the use of the seed of the large sorts which are grown in southern Ohio, or in the. Middle States, the seed being brought from those latitudes. Such corn must be sown early to mature sufficiently before autumn. ..The later the sowing, the earlier must be the corh used. Small Canada i-* • ■ corn, put in twice as thickly as the other sorts, as late as the middle of July, will give a good crop in Sep tember. Corn fodder will grow on almost any land, bat to have a good and profitable crop, the richest ground must be selected. Many have re jected it because they have never given it a fair chance. Cows and Calves. Mach has been said and written about the best treatment of calves, and so many have advised their im mediate removal, that we this spring determined to try it. Out of four so treated worth $lOO when they were dropped), one died before it was a week old, another is scouring so badly that we have but little hope’of its repovery, and a third is ailing and weakly. We have had quite enough of this treat ment, and shall return to our custom of leaving all calves with their moth ers until they are at least three days old, and longer, if necessary, to start them fairly, and vigorously on the road of life, a practice which has hitherto produced the most sat isfactory results, I have also exper imented —until I have regretted it —on another theory of some mod ern breeders of Jerseys—that is, to milk the cows quite up to the time of calving, if possible. In every case, I am convinced that real and probably permanent injury has re sulted. The. idea advanced was that a Jersey cow has po other pur pose? but to bring calves and to pro duce milk, and that she should be trained to the,fullest and most per sistent exercise of the lacteal func tion. The subject has been present ed t 6 me so long and so persuasive ly, and by men whose opinion RADICAL: FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, UK. * ■ that I liad come to more half believe it, and have tried the ex periment this spring with several animals. In every case there has been trouble with the udder, and thus far the flow of milk is less than itwas after the previous oaiving. The calves have not been mater ially affected by it, but the mothers] have been in every instance. Hereafter, we shall endeavor tp dry off all the cows a month before calving. "Up to that time it is well to keep the milk flowing (If only a pint a day), and with Jerseys it is almost easy odo this; bat after that the milk* ing should cease, and the adder sbohld be allowed to become entire ly empty of milk preparatory to the commencement of "its new period of activity—“springing” regularly and naturally, and having no trace of the old love when it begins with the new. If there is a busy place in the world, it is the farm house in Amer -9 !: ica daring June and July. jThere are thousands of cases where one woman does all the labor of the house, besides having the care of one or two children, during this hot, busy season; and we blush to [add that in many Instances the men are to heedless to render heir such assistance as they could easily per form in the mornings, nodus \and evenings. v It would lighten her toil add "les sen her steps if the fruit au4, vege tables were brought in from the garden in the morning; if the water was drawn from the well for cook ing purposes; if the reservoir on the stove was filled; if the wood was brought close to the stove; if the slops regularly taken to the compost heap; the skimmed milk brought from the milk room. These chores might all be done by the nien and boys daring the leisure moments before meals and at the 1 When a f woman is obliged to “tramp, tramp,” all day through, and'perhaps nurse a baby besides, there is something wrong, ft is too much for her to do; it inflicts seri ous ills upon her offspring, and eventually will result in sickness or infirmity and loss. Our women cn the farm are an overworked class. They spend to much time and strength in hot rooms and over stoves, and too little in the open air. Between cooking and washing and ironing, and scrubbing, sweeping, dusting, care of plants, etc., where is the time for any mental exercise or for gaining any information of current events? We want to see farmers* wives .have as much relax ation from toil as farmers them selves. Teut Prom Grape Lealrea. We do not know the origin of the following. We find it id an ex* change uncredited: Last summer I discovered that grape leaves made a yeast in some respects superior to hops, as the bread rises sooner and has - not the peculiar taste which many object to in that made from hops. Use eight or ten leaves for a quart of yeast; boil them about ten minutes and pour the hot liquor on the flour, the quantity of the latter being deter mined by whether you want the yeast thick or thin. Use hop yeast for raising it to begin with, and af terward that made of the grape leaves. Dried leaves are equally as good as fresh. Sometimes the yeast has a dark film over its surface when rising, but this entirely disap pears when stirred. It is a common mistake to plant | pines and spruce-firs near the edge | of one's walk and carriage roads. Few persons know or stop to in quire how large trees will spread as they grow to maturity. They look pretty as they stand in the nursery, and are set at arm's length of the walk where they can be seen and petted. But in q feiv years they stretch from fifteep to twenty feet each side, over the walks and shrub bery, and the result of the ’whole is, that either the trees must be cut down or the lower branches hewn off, which is sure destruction to the trees. Any method of planting which does not forecast the future height and breadth of trees, wheth er planted in groups or singly, is A mistake.
