THE only animal (if it is an animal) which

IN hot weather milk is worth more fed to

A SINGLE pair of caterpillars, if let alone,

Now that the wheat crop in Australia has

Ax acre of fresh water is more profitable
for fish growing than ten acres of good soil

WESTERN wool growers get five cents a

Ax ax costing $2 with which a laborer

A cow bought for $lO, whose milk but

IT costs no more to raise one hundred
bushels of Baldwins than one hundred

Vergalien'- or Harrietts than the same quan

A '-'CHEAP plow at $5, costing in one

is a dearer plow than one at $lO requiring
no repairs.
A TEN acre field costing SSO per acre,

THE DAIRY.
The variations in the yield of milch cows
• arc caused more by the variations in the nu
frltivc element of their food than by a change
of the form in which it is given. "A cow,
kept through the winter on mere straw," says
a practical writer on this subject, "will cease
to give milk; and, whfen fed in spring on
green forage, will give a fair quantity of milk.
But she owes ibe cessation and restoration of
the secretion to respectively the diminution
and the increase of her nourishment, and not
at all to the change of form, or of outward
substance, in which the nourishment is ad
ministered. Let cows receive through winter
nearly as large a proportion of nutritive mat
ter as is contained in the clover, lucerne, and
fresh grasses, which they eat in summer, and,
no matter in what precise substance or mix
ture that matter may be contained, they will
yield a winter's product of milk quite as rich
in casein and butyraeeous ingredients as the
summer's produce, and far more ample in
quantity than almost any dairyman with old
fashioned notions would imagine to be possi
ble."
We keep to much stock for the quantity of
good and nutritious food which we have for it;
and the consequence is, cows are, in nine
cases out of ten, poorly wintered, and come
out in the spring weakened, if not, indeed,
positively diseased, and a long time is re
quired to bring thou into a condition to yield
a generous quantity of milk.
It is a hard struggle for a cow reduced in
tlesh and in blood to fill up the wasted system
with the food which otherwise would have
gone to the secretion of milk; but, if Bhe is
well fed, well housed, well littered, and well
supplied with pure, fresh water, and with
roots or other moist food, and properly trea
ted to the luxury of a frequent carding, and
constant kindness, she comes out ready to
commence the manufacture of milk, under
favorable circumstances.— Milch Cows and
Dairy Farming.
PEAR CULTURE.
0
Mr. Thomas Meeban, in his address on the
disease of the pear, at the Pomological Con
gress in St. Louis, concluded as follows. Of
course he alludes to standard pears, and in
this our own experience confirms the opinion
expressed.
"No one can have any doubts as to the
freedom from debilitation of trees grown
for years in gras3 over those grown in con
tinually stirred soii, who examine old or
chards under both conditions. Old pears in
my grounds, eight and nine feet in circum
ference, always bear if they have any flowers
at all, always have healthy toliage, always set
most in their blossoms and drop oniy those
which get punctured by insects, enougb,
however, being always left to produce plen
tifully; while anywhere in soils with regular
stirred surfaces, you find innumerable flowers
with few fruit, and of those which do set
innume-aile are found afterwards covering
the x which fallen off from no cause
but t ability in the awakened vital
principl laiutain them.
"Leaf ohgbt and innumerable diseases fol
low excessively weakened vitality, and I am
well assured that though fire blight, cracking,
and all the other diseases I have referred to
are the means of destruction to many thou
sands of bushels of pears annually—debility
destroys its ten thousands."
HOW A FARMER MAY LOSE MONEY.
By not taking a good home paper.
Keeping no account of home operations.
Paying no attention to the maxim, "A
stitch in time saves nine," in regard to the
sowing of grain and planting of seed at the
proper season.
Leaving reapers, plows, cultivators, etc.,
uncovered from the rain and heat of the sun.
More money is lost in this way than most
people are willing to believe.
Permitting broken implements to be scat
tered over the farm until they are irreparable.
By repairing broken implements at the prop
er time many dollars may be saved, a proof
of the assertion that "time is money."
Attending the auction sales and purchasing
*ll kinds of trumpery, because, in the words
of the vender, the articles awe "very cheap,"
Allowing fences to remain unrepaired until
ctrauge eatu e are found grazing in the mead
ow, grain fields, or bruising the fruit trees.
lievingtfie principle of a rotation
c. ops before making a single experiment.
i-riting fruit trees with the expectation of
ring ruit, without giving the trees half the
attention required to make them profitable.
raclicmg economy by depriving stock of
| ! oper shelter during winter and giving them
unsound food, such as half rotten and monldy
hV and fodder.
KeepiDg an innumerable tribe of rots on
the premises, and two or three lazy dogs that
eat up more in a month than they are worth
in a whole lifetime.
And lastly, he loses by not reading the ad
vertisements of those who patronize the prin
ter, they being invariably the most enterpris
ing and liberal houses to deal with, when he
goes to town.

IT is s good ihiog to be above board, but
generally a bad thing to be overboard.
IT is a miserable thing to live in suspense;
it is the life of a spider.
THE politican who knew no North, no
South, no East, no West was found to be as
deficient in other matters as in geography.
MEN are like bugles; the more brass they
contain the more noise' they make, and the
farther you can hear them.
Ir you wish to fatten a thin baby, throw it
out of the window and it will come down
plump.
'•I have the best wife in the world," said a
long suffering husband; "she always strikes
me with the soft end of the broom."
SOME one says the best way for a man to
train up a child in the way it should go, is to
travel that way occasionally himself.
LOVE, the toothache, a cough and tight

and found it wouldn't work.
A YOUXG lady being engaged to be married,
and getting sick of the bargain, applied to a
friend to help her untie the knot before it was
too late. "Oh certainly," he replied: "It's
very easy to untie it now, while it's a beau."
"JOHN," said a stingy old hunk to his hired
man, as he was'taking dinner, "do you know
how many pancakes you have eaten?"
"No."
"You've eaten fourteen."
"Well," said John, "you count and I'll
eat." 1
"DENNIS, my boy," said a schoolmaster to
his Hibernian pupil, "I fear I shall make
nothing of you, you've no application."
"An', sure enough, sir." said the quick witted
"there's no occasion for it. Don't I see every
day in the newspapers that 'No Irish need ap

WILLIAM thee, knows I never call anybody
names; but, William, if the Mayor of the
city were to come to me, and say, "Joshua,
I want thee to find me the biggest liar in all
Philadelphia," I would come to thee and
put my hand on thy shoulder, and say to
thee, "William; the Mayor wants to see
you."
WE understand that in New Zealand, when
a marriage ceremony takes place, it is a very
old custom to knock the heads of the bride
and bridegroom together, previons to their
nnion.
In Christian lands it isn't so;
The bridegroom and the bride
To loggerheads but seldom go
Until the knot is tied.
I SAY, Mr. Pilot, ain't you going to start
soon?" said a nervous traveler on a steamboat
lying to daring a fog.
"As soon as the fog clears up," replied the
captain.
"Well, it's starlight now, overhead," said
the man.
"Oh yes; but we are not going that way."
"MA, will you holler if I bite you —say?"
''My child, that would be very painful to

her right in the mouth, and bit her hard to ,
cause she put her arms around his neck a 1
tried to choke him. Why didn't she holler—
say?"
"I WONDER what has become of the snuf

looking for them all the evening, and can't
find them high nor low." Nobody could
give information, lifter a while the hired
man getting sleepy, commencd pulling off
his boots preparatory to going to bed. "All
day," said he, "I diaks I got some grabble
stone in mine poot. I guess I gits him out

the snuffers.
A gent in passing a farm, saw a boy at

"Yes, lota."
"What kind?" continued the stranger.
"Cornstalks mostly," was the reply, and
the stranger went on his way musing.
A LADY brought a child to a physician to

Among other things, she inquired if he did not
think the springs would be useful.
"Certainly, madam," replied the doctor, as
he eyed the child, and then took a pinch of
snuff. "I have not the least hesitation in
recommending the springs, and the sooner
you apply the remedy the better."
"You really think it would be good for the
dear little thing, don't you?"
"Upon my word, it's the best remedy I
know."
"What springs do you recommend?"
"Any will do, madam, where you can get
plenty of soap and water!"
EVERYDAY PHILOSOPHY. —Never insure your
life for the benefit of your wife for a greater
sum than ten thousand dollars. A widow with
more money than that is a dangerous legacy
to leave posterity.
The "game of life" is very like a game of
cards. Time deals, death cuts, and everybody
is waiting for the last tramp.
I think men drink in crowds because they
are afraid to drink by themselves. It requires
a good deal of courage to stand up alone and
pour a glass of whiskey down yonr throat.
There are some inconsistencies in this world
that I don't exactly understand. Everybody is
anxious to go to Heaven, but nobody is in a
hurry about it.
If a man is without enemies I wouldn't give
ten cents for all his friends. The man who can
please everybody hasn't got sense enough to
displease anybody.
When an acquaintance says, "How arc
you ?" and rushes by you without waiting for
a reply, I wouldn't, if I was in yonr place,
follow him more than a mile to tell him I was

A convenient way of testing the affections
of your intended is to marry another woman.
It she don't love you you'll find it out
immediately.

unto yon, and you won't have enough money
in two weeks to get a shirt washed.
THERE is & story told of an Irishman who,
having newly arrived in an Eastern State,
was asked, during an election, on which

malicious wink, "just you put me down as

JOsIAH FAUKKer.
Farmers will please look at th. great advantage
in Thrashing Grain with *'
Gl Tivr ß ' anTEF jyS J Nru.
~ N ". 1 eight-horse power, with caat iron
tr T , m ' r 4 Wroaht iron end wX,t n
der, sixteen inches in diameter and th;„ ,i
inches long. Trunk has Un
seven rakes is thirty .five Inches wide, anddeHv
ers the straw on the second rake these cam, tt*
straw out on their tops, anTdeW it ,/ £
j 5 , w,!l dv r About thirty five f-c t
beyond the feeder, on a stack fifteen to e ghuln
".1 °t n U managed toearrv
the chaff with the straw, or deliver it in a seoa
rate place. The trunk and fan sides being cloJLt
u> confine the straw and chaff, remedies fit i r
cullies in cleaning grain against .td r
It bags the grain by reasonable management „/
ficiently clean for market, and it, capacity undir
ordinary eirjumstances, is from tweVto forts
bushels per hour, using eight horses and the s£e
number of hands: but to force th. work und *
favorab . circumstance, it will thresh from f,rt y
to fifty bushels per hour, and with mote ,"s
agreeableness to hands than any other machine
now in common use. 108
The No. 2 is particularly adapted to tbe farmer 1 ,
use; in intending to apply to any common
or railway power: weighs 1,30(1 pounds: h„ a"
iron threshers frame, and cylinder, 12i inches
diameter and 28 inches long: delivers the e| e * n
grym in bags, or if desired, in a half bushel" I,
delivers the straw fifteen feet from th. feed* or
if desired, can deliver the straw and chaff to*ih
er; will thresh and clean, in good gra"reld v £
market, from 100 to 175 bushels
300 to 500 bushels of oats per day, using four or
six horses, and the same number of hand- but to
force the work, under mort favorable eireum
atanoes, good grain, Ac., will thresh and clean
considerable more. The Machine will thresh and
clean all kinds of grain generally threshed with
the common machine, and requires no more horse
power, but iu many cases does not run so
hard. It will apply very well to a two-horse rail
way power.
Now here is what the Farmer and thresherman
wants, a Separator to go from farm so farm, to
thrash grain, with more satisfaction than anv
other separator now in use, and whv is it ? Be
cause this separator has a self regulating Blast
which prevents grain from blowing into the ch.ff
and also has a self regulating feeder o feeo tne
cleaner and it has rollers and combs the clean
er which prevents it from choaking. Dhy doe--
this machine run so Sight, and give so little trou
ble? Because there is less friction in the .loor.
nab, and the rakes and fan are geared so that you
have no trouble with Belts breaking and slipping
causing dust to fali into the wheat. Why does it
clean against the wind? Because the blast has
direct action on the grain and the cleaner j. so
well arranged that the wind has no rharu-c to
drive the dirt into the hopper. Why is it built
permanently on two wheels and the front car
riage separate, ready lo attach when necessary?
Because it is more convenient in the bare withoct
the front carriage. You can turn tbe machine or
run it from place to place more easily. Why hi
lt not got Elevators like some other machine-?
Because the Elevators carry the fifth back alter
nately into the cleaner which must eventually pi
into the good wheat or in the chaff, and all knew,
that filth should be kept soparate for feed. Ac.,
we might as well keep shoveling the Tailings
from under our hand fan into the hopper and ex
pect to get the grain clean. Why is this separa
tor more cleaner and satisfactory to work about
than others? Because the Fan and Trunk Side?
are closed up to prevent the wheat chaff and dust
trom coming out and scattering over the door,
causing waist and giving much trouble with dirt
and sore eyes, Ac. Why do Threshermen get
more work with these separators than they do
with others ? Because this separator has all there
advantages and many more, which makes it a
separator suitable and a paying one for all
fanners and Thrashermen that have grain to
thrash, whilst in most cases farmers must suit
themselves to the machine, because the machine
will not suit itself to the farmer. In short, thi
is the cheapest, most durable, reliably, simple and
most agreeable to work about and the only -epa*-
ator that will clean and bag the grain sufficiently
clean for market under all circumstances.
Farmers can rest assured that this machine is
no humbug, and judging from the high re-.- - ru
men dation of farmers that are using them, we
must come to the conclusion that it is the very
Machine that farmers want and will have as soon
as they have an opportunity to appreciate and
attest its merits, for which we hope they will give
us an opportunity, as we are willing to be respon
sible if it does not perform as represented in this
Circular. Shop prictt of Machine* range from
$215, to $540.
jS®-\Ve warrant the machines to be as above
represented; also against any reasonable defects
of material workmanship. Ac.
