Fattening Animals in a Hurry- Wc have pointed out in former years the futility of attempts to lay heavy masses of ties; 1 on poor cattle by stuffing them with rich food. Such attempts not only prove to be failures, but are always wasteful.— The material consumed is nearly lost, the animals remain comparatively poor, and the owners are convinced that fattening animals for market "don't pay." It is perhaps well for the cause of good management that all neglected treatment of animals should result in loss to the own er. If he has starved his cattle, sheep and pigs for a year or more, he can not atone for it by sudden attempts to push them to flatness. On the contrary, the only true way is to see that growth continues with out" cessation, summer and winter, from the earliest period of their existence till they are finally sold in market. A single check given to this continued progress may ar rest or retard it for months. Our own ob servations lead us to the opinion that the whole profits resulting from raising and fattening, when this continued progress is kept up by careful, regular but not extrav agant feeding, are at least tripplc the amount realized from early neglect and heavy feeding afterwards—and often the difference is many times greater than here stated. There is nothing that should he more j strongly impressed on the mind of the ! young farmer who makes the feeding of animals a prominent part of his business, i than the importance of keeping up an un- ; remitting growth throughout the whole : course of their existence. The most sue- j cessful pork-raiser with whom we are ae- j quainted, adheres strictly to this course ; not only feeding his store pig's well and ; regularly through fall aud winter, but com mencing the fattening not merely in autumn, j as is too commonly the case, but early in 1 the spring. It is objected that this manner is too ex- j pensive. This objection is urged by those who find two or three months only to con- j sume more than they can afford. They feed heavily for a short time, but do not re ceive a corresponding return of increased | flesh. "If two months feeding," they in- 1 quire, "costs ns so much money, how can we ever afford to continue it for two or three years ?" It is very true they can not, because the whole system which they adopt is a profitless one. Fortunately it does not require heavy feeding to keep the con tinued growing condition of animals. Here is a great error into which many have fall en, which we have endeavored to correct, •John Johnston made the remark some years ago that the copious feeding of grain or meal to cattle is no better than a mod erate amount. We gave the statement some years ago oi experiments performed by G. 11. Chase, of Cayuga county, who carefully weighed every week all his fat tening animals. A daily supply of four quarts of barley meal to a fine steer, gave a weekly increase in weight averaging IS pounds. A neighbor advised him to push him, and eight quarts were accordingly fed daily. The weekly increase of tlesh was i less than when he received four quarts.— The amount being increased to twelve quarts per day, he gained nothing at all. Several similar instances have come to our knowledge, and among others aline animal was recently fed by a neighbor a peck or more of rich nu al per day. After thus urging on the fattening process as lie sup posed, for several weeks, he was finally sold and proved to be only a few pounds heavier than when purchased. The many bushels of feed which he had consumed,and the labor of attendance given him, literal ly went for nothing. Successful feeders, who proved all their experiments by weighing, have long since ascertained that animals in fine condition will lay on more flesh for the amount of food eaten than those of inferior character. Hence shrewd men will not purchase lean and raw-boned animals for fattening. This fact selves to establish the truth that all animals at all stages of growth should be kept fleshy It need be scarcely necess ary so remind an intelligent manager that the difference between attending to all the comforts of an animal by cleanliiness, good wholesome food given regularly and in moderate quantity, and neglecting all these particulars, is simply the difference be tween those in line healthy condition and such a are feeble\nd raw-boned. It may be laid down as true, with scarcely an ex ception, that tlip farmer who carries on the business of fattening at a loss, is one who neglects at one time and over-feeds at an nother.—Country Gentlemen. Thinning Fruit. Few owners of truit trees will be apt to consider any advice under this head as ap plicable the present season, the crop being mostly a very light one might be thinned to much advantage. Many tress are al lowed to bear in ordinary seasons, from four to six times as many specimeus as ac cords with their full and perfect develop ment. The fruit is consequently small and deficient in flavor. This is the very year to learn a lesson on the subject, if the trees bear but few specimens comparative ly, take off alt" the shabby, wormy- and de fective ones, which will be of no value in any event, and the crop which is left, hav ing plenty of room, will show a size, beau ty and perfection that can not fail to con vince cultivators of the advantage of thin ning. We have heard a skillful orehardist assert that by taking off two-thirds of his peaches, the remainder increased so much in size as to give the same number of bush els as without thinning, while their im proved appearance and quality enabled him to realize triple the price. It is an easy task to thin out the fruit of an orchard, and is a positive saving of la bor— inasmuch as it is easier to remove the fruit when it is small, and requires no care in picking and handling, than to do it when the specimens become full-sized at matur ity. For example, if a tree bears at first three thousand specimens, it is easier to take ofl two thousand when they may all bo thrown into a single basket, than to pick this same two thousand afterwards with all the care required in careful hand ling to prevent bruising. One great ad vantage in gathering large, fine specimens, over small and imperfect ones, is the great er rapidity with which they may be taken from the tree. — Country Gentleman. GRAIN that has been injured and become musty, may be restored to nearly its origi nal sweetness by pouring boiling water over it, and permitting it to stand till cool. 1 he scum which arises to the surface of the liquid during the process of purification should be carefully removed. Unless the gluten of the grain has become chemically affected—which is rarely found to be the case, except in very old grain—every trace of mustincss will be removed,and the grain rendered fit for use.— N.

Preparation of Soil for Winter Wheat Iu our latitude, whether winter wheat is to be sowed on summer fallow, or to follow barley or oats, the ground really should have been in the course of preparation dur ing the month of August. As the Midge and Hessian fly are no longer feared in many localities, farmers may now return to the production of winter wheat, with the expectation of raising remunerative crops, if they prepare the soil properly. Our ex perience; with this crop warrants us in stat ing that the most effectual preventation of the ravages of the midge, is a thorough preparation of the soil, and a liberal appli cation of good,well-rotted manure, and this has been corroborated by some of the best wheat growers of Western New York. — The reasoning 011 this subject is, that a thorough preparation of the soil produces a more luxuriant and healthy growth,which will withstand the injurious attacks of both these insects, and every good farmer will admit the correctness of the logic. Wheat of any kind needs fertilizers of a very fine, rich character. Indian corn will feed 011 coarse, unfermented manure, which would be very poorly adapted to the growth ot wheat. All good wheat growers agree also 011 this point, that winter wheat requires a firm soil ; and experience proves that soils of this character, yield the best crops of wheat. The light, porous, and mucky soils found on most of our table lands do not produce as large crops of winter wheat as ma ly of the slopes and undulating portions of the country. However, good farmers are learning that by plowing, hairdo ing and manuring, a fair crop may be obtained where the soil is naturally quite inferior and not adapted to the production of winter wheat In preparing oats or barley stubble for winter wheat, is should be plowed at least two weeks previous to the time of putting in the seed. If the soil is thin, let the com mon plow run only as deep as the soil ex tends ;. then break up and pulverize the subsoil with the subsoil plow, instead of turning up too much of the barren soil from below. The best time for putting in win ter wheat is usually about the first of Sep tember Let the compost, or rotted ma nure, be hauled and deposited in small con ical heaps over the field. Allowing lliat 5 bushels are enough for one square rod, when spread evenly, and that there are 25 bushels in a two-hoise wagon load, thirty two'loads will manure one acre abundant ly for a good crop of wheat, if the manure is made of the droppings of work horses and oxen, and fattening bullocks and sheep that have consumed more or less coarse grain. Now spread the manure evenly on about one acre, aud bury it and mingle it with the soil with a two-horse cultivator run about lour inches deep. Go over it J or 4 times ; and if there are any lumps, use the roller to crush them. The aim should be to mingle the manure thoroughly with three or four inches in depth of the best soil, and to have that depth finely pul verized, so that the grain may have not on ly a good seed bed to germinate in, but be supplied with an abundance of available nourishment for promoting the growth of the young plants, so that they may acquire a large growth, or mass of roots before winter. This will be an excellent security against "heaving out" by freezing and thrawing, and it will also prepare the plants for starting early the following spring. Clean Pigs and Dirty Pigs, 1 Pigs enjoy the reputation of having a real liking for dirt ; and, certainly, the i way in which they are kept on some farms would show that their owners are determin i ed to give them ample opportunities for | carrying out this liking. Xo notion can, | however, be more erroneous than this, as : none is so certainly productive of loss to ! the keeper. Let any one not convinced of j this try the two modes of pig-keeping— j the dirty and the clean—the food in both i eases, and other general treatment, being ! the same ; and the result will show him j which of the two is the best in the end.— A great deal depends upon the mode in > which they are housed. Mr. Raines, of | Mills, adopts the following : A large out i house is inclosed at the sides, so as t > be ; warm and dry. The floor is paved, and sprinkled over with burnt clay, and ashes obtained by burning weeds' In this the pigs are fed ; while for resting and sleep- I ing they luive a compartment railed off at the other end, and which is amply provi -1 tied with clean straw. In another ease, i the principle of box feeding has been ap | plied, the pigs being kept in a pit, into j which the manure from the ox or cow sta bles and the horse stables is put. Thi* pigs I tread this down, and enjoy themselves | amazingly. In one case, where this plan has been adopted, the farmer states that his pigs " have given liirn a profit by their meat, and left the dung—as good as guano —for nothing."— Mark Lane Express. TRAINING CATTLE TO JUMP. —A Western farmer says he makes it a rule that when i ever cattle are made to pass a fence,wheth er through bars of 'Sslip-gap," to leave one rail for tliem to pass under. This gives them a downward tendency, and lessens j their inclination to jump or look upwards, as they are sure to do when a lazy attend -1 ant throws down a part of the rails, and makes them vault the rest. Cattle may be j learned to go over any fence, by the care ful training they often get for this end, and 1 performed as follows : First starve them, or give them poor feed, which will make them light and restless. As soon as they go over the lowest part of the fence after better provender, make them jump back ' rigaTh'. and put on one more rail, saying, " 1 guess that will keep 'em out." Xext day, (as of course they will be in mischief again,) repeat the process, adding another | rail ; in short time they will take care of I themselves, and harvest the crops without | charge.— Tucker's Rural Affairs. GRAND FARMING —The New York Post notes a corn field of one hundred and sixty acres, on the grand prairie, in the plowing, , planting and cultivation of which no man walked a step. A rotary spader, drawn by four horses, and driven by a man upon the box, plowed the field to a uniform depth of eight inches, and gave such thorough tilth that it was riot necessary to use a harrow at all. A coin-planter,drawn by two horses and driven by a man upon the box, next planted the seed. A cultivator drawn by two mules, one walking on each side of the knee-high corn, and driven by a man upon the box, completed the culture of a row at a single operation ; aud in the tool-house lay another machine, also to be drawn by horses, which will cut down the corn when it is ripe and lay it in regular rows, to be finally gathered by hand. But it is expect ed that by next year this machine will be so improved as to gather up the corn also. BELLS will prevent the depredations of dogs among sheep. The reason is plain. A dog that knows enough to kill sheep knows enough to be still and sly about it. The great noise caused by a number of bells I makes liirn fear for his safety,and he leaves without doing damage. <£lotl)ing. QOOI) NEWS. REBELLION ENDED!
