STOCK FEEDING.
The foundation of good fanning is the keep,
• 0 { aa m ucb stock as can be kept well, and
no more: but some farmers make the mistake
of over stocking their tarms, by which means
iheir stock feed on poor pasturage, and in a
drought frequently suffer for want of food.
In the winter season too many cattle are
crowded into small barn yards, and the result
is that the strongest ones eat the most of the
fodder, and the smaller and weaker animals
are hooked about and have to take up with
the leavings of the others: and when all are
provided with stalls, some portion of the stock
suffers when let into the yard, in consequence
or there being too many for the space allot
ted them, especially in stormy weather, when
they all strive to get nnder the sheds.
A great deal of stock can be advantageous
ly kept on most farms, if proper means are
taken to provide for their com fort and support.
In the first place, the necessary change of
pasture must be provided sufficient to sustain
the stock in a severe drooght, if one should
occur; or good crops should be grown to
'•soil" the cattle when the pasturage is too
short. The "coiling" sytem alone is often
made to support a large number of cows on
farms that could not give pasturage for half
the number and allow sufficient winter fodder
to be cut.
In the next place, ample and warm winter
uccomodation must be provided so that the
stock can feed in sheds quietly wh"n not stal
led: nud with an abundance of good fodder
every farmer wU find that Looping stock is
profitable, as itis admitted by all good farmers
that fodder fed on farms is better than to sell
it as the manure produced by the stock keeps
such farms in a good state of fertility.
Fvcry farmer should raise all the young
stock that he can feed well and give good
winter quarters. A choice lot of good dairy
cows cau seldom be brought; they must be i
raised on the farm.
As regards the breed of cows to be kept, it
butter be the object, the Alderneys, or their
grades, are considered best in proportion to j
the quantity of food consumed. This is a
small breed of cattle, and their milk is exceed
ingly rich. They do not produce more milk
than ordinary oows, but it yields much more
cream.
If the selling of milk be the object, the
Ayrshire® are the best breed that can be
procured, as the cows of that breed have a
world-wide reputation of being the most
abnndant milkers known In many cases, !
however, our native cows are equal in value
for both milk and butter to any blooded stock
in existence, but such cows are scarce, and
cannot be found for sale, except in rare
cases.
For working oxen, the hardy Devons are
are the most popular, as that breed will
thrive on pasturage where the Durhams
would hardly exist.— Rural American.
BOTTLEIT CIDER.
One of our exchanges advises bottling cider,
aud gives the following directions:
For bottling let the pumace lie in the trough j
over night. The first run of the cider from j
the press is the best. Let the cider work a
day or two, the casks being full, so that the
pumace may pass off at the bung hole. Then
take an empty cask, clean and sweet, put into
it ten or twelve gallons of the cider, thrust
into the cask through the bung-hole an ignited
rag sulphur match, suspended by a wire from
the bung, to which it is to be attached; and
after this another, aud soon, till three or four
matches have been consumed. Then shake
the cask violently, uutil the fumes of the
sulphur are completely incorporated with the
cider. Pour the cider thus prepared into the
cask in which jfuu piupusc lu keep ii fui tlic
winter. Repeat the same process until the j
cask is full. Bung the cask tightly and let it
remain in the cellar, till March, and then
draw the cider off and bottle it. Place the
bottle npon the bottom of the cellar, and
cover with sand. Some place the bottles np
in a trench or between two bits of joists, as in
this way the corks will remain secure without
twine or wire.
If you don't carc to bottle it, you can make
excellent cider in this way: Take pure cider
put it into clean casks: then after the cider
has worked so as to be pleasant, add to each
barrel a pint of mustard seed, and bung tight.
The cider will remain till spring of very
pleasant tust- and sparkling appearance,
when poured into a tumbler.
FALL CAKE OF GARDENS,
M e have more than once spoken of the
tendency which BO often prevails among far
mers to neglect proper attention to tbeir
gardens at all seasons of the year. The farm
appears so much more important in the ex
tent of :ls productions, and in the amount of
labor required to keep it in proper condition,
luat the household part of the grounds, the
garden, is too often left to take care of itself
to the care of those who are nnable to work it
properly. In the season of planting, the
comparatively trifling work that is required
to make a good garden is withheld, on the
plea that there is more prersing work in the
field. Ihe farmer who acts on this principle
does an injury to himself and to his family,
and to his friends; for nothing contributes
more to the supply and tho comfort of the
social board than a productive garden. It
may be made almost half the support of a
family, and, with its small fruits, its roots and
its vegeiableg of every description, it adds
immensely to the good cheer of a country
home.
t'u ibe supposition that this part of a
farmer's dctv has not been neglected at the
proper season lor raising the crops, we would
remin ] our readers that the time is at hand
when the fruits of such labor are to be cared
for. And many of oar readers have no other
farm than tbeir garden, so that it otaoda them
in hand to reap the advantage of their Bummer
toil by carrefully gathering and storing the
product. Ihe value of all kinds of vegetables
depends, in a greal measure, upon the con
dition in which they are gathered and stored
away.
Many garden roots will not require to be
taken up before the close of the month, and
some of them not until October, but we give
these timely hints and would especially ad
vise all who have such crops to store, to have
places provided for them in season, that they
may not suffer by being left out too long.
*\r f a '! crops are garnered, the garden
itself should be put in complete order; all
• • j- and useless bushes removed, and
everything made ready ior another season.

These ports have a foreign commerce of $900,-
400,000, and an enormous domestic trade, beside
which wc have the immense internal commerce of
the Empire, radiating from these points, through
its canals aud navigable rivers.
The cable being laid, this Company proposes
erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and
trustworthy means cf communication, which must
command there, as everywhere else, the commu
nications of the Government, of business, and of
social life, especially in China. She has no pos
tal system, and her only means now of communi.
eating information is by couriers on land, and by
steamers on water.
The Western World knows that China is a
very large country, in the main densely peopled:
but a few yet realize that she contains more than
a third of the human race. The latest returns
made to her central authorities for taxing purpo
ses by tbc local magistrates make her population
Four Hundred aud Fourteen Million*, and this is
more likely to be under than over the actual ag
gregate. Nearly all of these, who are over ten
years old, not only can but do read and write.
Her civilization is peculiar, but her literature is
as extorsive as that of Europe. China is a land
of teachers and traders: and the latter are ex
ceedingly quick to avail themselves of every
proffered facility for procuring early information.
It is observed in California that the Chinese make
great use of the telegraph, though it there trans
mits messages in English alone. To day great
numbers of fleet steamers ere cwned by Chinese
merchants, and used by tbem exclusively for the
transmission of early intelligence. If the tele
graph we propose, connecting all their great sea
ports, were now in existence, it is believed that
its business would pay the cost within the first
two years of its su< cessful operation, and wonld
steadily increase thereafter.
No enterprise commends itself as a greater de
gree remunerative to capitalists, and to our whole
people. It is of a vast national importance com
mercially, politically, and evangelically.
The stock gf this Company has been unquali
fiedly recommended to capitalists and business

THRASHING MACHINE!
DANIEL C EIHER. J. 01.1.8 R.
B. E. PRICE. JOB!AH rAHKXKr.
Farmer* will please look at the great advantage
in Thrashing Grain with
GEISERS* PATENT SELF-REGULA
TING GRAIN SEPARATOR,
CLEANER AND BAGGER.
With the latest Improved Tripple-Uaared Horse
Power, driven either by Gear or Belt
No. 1 is a eight-borse power, with east ivon
thresher frame and wrought iron and wood cylin
der, sixteen inches in diameter end thirty-three
inches long. Trunk has ten inch rake crank and
seven rakes is thirly-fire inches wide, and deliv.
ere the straw on the second rake, these carry the
straw onl on their tops, and deliver it on the
stack or. which will deliver about thirty five feet
beyond tbe feeder, on a stack fifteen to eighteen
feet high, and can be easily managed to carrv
the chaff with the straw, or deliver it in a sepa
rate place. Tbe trunk and fan sides beingotosed
to confine the straw and chaff, remedies all diflW
cultles in cleaning grain against windy weather"
It hags tbe grain by reasonable management, suf
ficiently clean for market, and its capacity, under
ordinary circumstances, is from twenty to forty
bushels per hour, using eight horßes and the same
number of hands; but to force the work under
favorable circumstance, it will thresh from forty
to fifty bushels per hour, and with more ease and
agreeableness to bands than any other machine
now in common use.
Tho No. 2 is particularly adapted to the farmer's
use; in intending to apply to any common iever
or railway power: weighs 1,300 pounds; has an
iron threshers frame, and cylioder, 121 inches in
diameter and 28 inches long; deliver* the . lean
grain in bags, or if desired, in a half bushel. It
delivers the straw fifteen feet from the feeder, or
if desired, can deliver the straw and chaff togeth
er; will thresh and clean, in good grain, readr for
market, from 100 to 175 bushels of wheat, or from
300 to 600 buebols of oats per day, using four or
six horses, and the same number of hands: but to
force the work, under most favorable circum
stances, 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, bat in many eases does not run so
hard. It will apply very well to a two-horse rail
way power.
Now here is what the Farmer and thresheraan
wants, a Separator to go from farm so farm, to
thrash grain, with more satisfaction than any
other separator now in use, and why Is it? Be
cause this separator has a self regulating Blast
which prevents grain from blowing into the chaff
and also has a self regulating feeder o teeo tne
cleaner and it has rollers and combs the clean
er which prevents it from choaking. Vthy toes
this machine run so light, and give so little tria
ble? Because there is less friction in tbe Jour,
rials, and the rakes and fan arc geared so that von
have no trouble with Belts breaking and slipping,
causing dust to fall into tbe wheat. Why dot- It
clean against the wind? Because the blast ha*
direct action OD tbe grain and the cleaner is so
well arranged that the wind has no chance to
drive the dirt into the hopper. Why is it built
permanently on two wheels and the front car
riage separate, ready to attach when necessary ?
Because it is more convenient in the barn without
the front carriage. Y'ou can turn the machine or
run it from place to place more easily. Why has
it not got Elevators like some other machines?
Because the Elevators carry the fifth back alter
nately into the cleaner which must eventually go
into the good wheat or in the chaff, and all know,
that filth should be kept separate 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 Sides
are closed up to prevent the wheat chaff and dust
from coming out and scattering over the floor,
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 these
advantages and many more, which makes it a
separator suitable and a paying one for ail
fanners and Tbrashermen 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, this
is the cheapest, most durable, reliably, simple and
most agreeable to work about and tbe only separ
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 recom
mendation 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 prices of Machines range from
$215, to $540.
