Turning Stock to Grass Early.
Dear Sir: la tiic last number of the Far
tter I uotieed un article e:t turning stock to
grass early, and that yon requested your cor
respondents to give their experience on that
subject. Since then I have talked with some
of onr most experienced graziers, and find this
opinion to be general in this county, which
annually fattens for market upwards of twenty j
thousand beeves,) the earlier cattle are turned
to grass tiie better. When I commented gra
zing, four years ago, I found this to be the
general practice, and I followed it without
making any experiment myself, but I am in
formed by one of my neighbors who has grazed
for thirty years past, on an average, two hun
dred head of cattle annually—that he has
seen the experiment tried. Two lots of cattle,
equal in all respc-cts, and which had been win
tered alike, were selected in the spring, and
cue lot turned to grass teu days earlier than
the other. The first lot took a start of the
other and maintained it through the season,
being ready for market one mouth soouer than
the second lot. A gentleman by the name of
Fletcher, in the epper end of this county, was
in the habit of reserving one of his sod fields
through the winter and turning out a lot of
cattle about the midd!e_ of February. He
was thus enabled to send them to market
about the first of June, when beef is geucraliv
high. He was a very successful grazier.
There can be no doubt whatever as to the
fact that, in our country at leut, the sooner
we can pet them to grass in the spring the ]
Letter. The grass at that seasou is tender,
and has the quality of purging the cattle,
loosening their hides, and causing themtoshed
off. It thus prepares their systems to take on
fat rapidly as soon as the pasturage becomes
stronger and more mature. Later in the sea
son it seems to lose this quality in a measure, j
I have known men to turn their cattle on their i
meadows for eight or teu days, early in the
spring, so as to give tueni a start against the j
regular pasturage becomes Gt to turn 0:1.
This is one of the finest grazing sections in !
the country. The land seems to be naturally !
adapted to grass, running into sod very quick
ly after a fallow. One of my neighbors iias a :
field of one hundred acres of greensward, up- j
on which he fattens from eighty to ninety head 1
ot cattle every year ; and in a goo] grass sea- i
son I have seen portions of the field from which I
a good swath of grass might have been cut
wlien the cattle were taken off in July. On
the rest of his estate he fattens about two Luu
dred head.
On the adjoining estate of Airlev, Mr Sto- !
v 111 fattens about two hundred and seventy
five head. lie has a field of about one hun
dred and fifty acres, ou which last spring he
turned one hundred cattle and ninety sheep,
and kept them there until the first of June]
when a portion of them were moved off. The
grass was then nearly knee high over the field.
There are sods in this county nearly fifty
years old, and so firm and strong that, to quote
the language of our representative, the Hon.
V. m. Smith, '"a bullock of a thousand weight
may walk over them after a week's rain with
out soiling his hoofs more than a lady would j
soil her delicate satin slipper bv crossing a I
Turkey carpet.This may sound like hyper- |
bole, but unto all that doubt, I say "conn" and
see.'' LL. \V. DOWNMAX, larquar Co., Va.—
[American Farmer.
A New Jersey Florist recommends
brick dust as the best material in which to
propogate cuttings ef floweriug plants. He
says : ".My material is brick dust—the refuse
of the kiin after burning—or what may be
made by taking soft bricks and pounding them
op. Enough may be had at any brick yard 1
for a mere trifle to last a great while—but I I
think the fresher it is the better. Eoi those
plants more difficult to root, such as diapheues,
heaths, cape jnsamines, &c., I fill shallow cut
ting pots entire y with brick dust, (except
about an inch at the bottom, which is filled
with coarse lumps of brick, to secure a good
drainage.) F..r plants that root most easily,
I use half brick dust and half sandy loam, it
is quite surprising how much more certainly
and quickly cuttings of all sorts root in brick
dust than in saui or iu loamy soil in the com
mon way.
KEEPING I'AP.II ACCOUNTS. —We were much
interested recently in looking over the farm
book of a friend, which was so kept as to en
able him to calculate the expense of growing
the different crops upon the farm. The cost
of manure, cultivation, seed, harvesting and
marketing, ns well as rent and taxes, was set
off against the value of the product as sold or
consumed upon the farm ; and it was to be
seen at a glance what paid best and what least,
and where in one case $lO expended in ma
nuring half a field, gave a return of 150 per
cent, upon the outlay. Such information is
not only interesting but important to every far
mer, and can be secured at the trifling expense
of 'keeping an accouut with the farm.'—Coun
try Centlcm-in.
BAKED BEANS. —Few people know the lux
ury of baked beans, simply because few cooks
properly prepare them. Beans, generally, are
not cooked half long enough. This is our
method : Two quarts of middling-sized white
beans, two pounds of salt pork, and one spoou
ful of molasses. I'ick the beans over careful
ly, wash, and add a gallon of boiling hot wa
ter, let them soak in it over night ; in the
morning put them in fresh water and boil <*en
tly till the skin is very tender and about to
break, adding a teaqmonfu! of saleratns.—
Take them up to dry, and put them in your
dish, stir in the molasses, gash the pork, and >
pat it down iu the dish, so as to have the beans ■
cover all but the upper surface ; turn in boil
ing water till the top is just covered ; bake
with a steady fire four or five hours. Wash
them, and add more water from time to time
it dries away.
LICE OR SCALE ON TREES.—J. C. Graves,
Jefferson Co., Pa. Your soap sods wash was
probably too weak. Make it very strong,
using whale oil soap if it can be had, and
wash the bodies about the middle of. June
when the scales are young. Potash and water
answers the same purpose. Two washings dn
ring the season may be needful. Rubbing the
bodies and limbs with a rough cloth, or with
u broom, greatly facilitates the removal of the
scale. The more vigorous yon make the growth
by manure, ashes, or lime, dug in around the
roots, the less will you be troubled with in
sects upon, or diseases of the portion above
ground —.l merica n Agricult u rist.
MANY wish that the tree mav be felled,
who hope to gather chips by the fall."

A few of mady reasons why the SEWING MACHINES

I. They are so remarkably simple in their construction,
j A chilil can operate them and understand the mechanism
j 2. They are the strongest Sewing Machine made, his
almost impossible to break or get them out ot order.
J. They are sure in their operation ; finishing the
work in a uniformly perfect manner.
4. They make a tight lock stitch, alike on both sides of
the work, which cannot be unraveled.
5. They stitch, hem, bind, fell, run and gather, with
out basting.
(i. They sew equally well the lightest and the heaviest
fabrics.
7. They sew over the heaviest seams without changing
the tension or breaking the finest thread.
8. They u-c any No. of Cotton, Thread or Silk directly

•J. Tliey use a straight needle; curved ones are liable
to break.
10. The needle has a perpendicular motion. Tliis is
absolutely necessary for heavy work.
11. They have a wheel feed; none others are in constan

12. They run easily and almost noiseless
ly. They arc not liable to oil the dress of the operator.
14. They do not require a screw-driver to set the needle.
15. They do not have to he taken apart to oil or clean.
10. They are capable of doing a greater range of work
