Mr. Bela S. Hartings, who is one of tho leading drovers from Vermont, in sup plying the Boston, market, gave his ex- perieuoe and observation in relation to fattening stock, at a late meeting of the Caledonia County Farmers' Club : lie said tho main object of the fartnor was to get the most out of his fodder. It does not pay to feed grain to a poor creature; One that does not take on flesh rapidly. Farmers will do better to dis pose of such stock for what it will bring, and procure animals of good style. He bolieved that one-half of the grain fed Was wasted by not being fed to good cat tle,.' Another important point in farmers do not feed heavy enough. He would commence with as muoh feed as they would bear first, and then increase. In feeding twelve quarts of meal, the last four quarts are worth twice as much as the first four for fattening purposes. Some farmers complain that they do "not get pay for the grain they food out, but he noticed that it was only those that fed light that thus complained. Whether the animal was to bo fed a long or a short time, he would recommend heavy feed ing. ; Mr. Hastings said he knew nothing better than corn meal. The cob is not worth much, if anything. Thoso persons of whom he purchased fut stock, who were the most successful, and made it most profitable, were those, who fed meal large ly. If a farmer has potatoes or other roots, it Is well enough to feed thoso in part, but a farmer will do better to ex change some of his roots for corn, than to feed roots altogether. It is important to feed regularly and not too often, as the stock will eat and lie down and ruminate. It is better to feed cattle but three times a day, and sheep but once. . '.' Marketing Grain. We have Occasional inquiries as to the propriety of disposing of grain as soon as ready for market, or of holding for a rise later in the season. ' We ' cannot with propriety advise in a matter on which1 so many mon have widely different ' ideas, yet there are some circumstances in which the farmer may find himself in doubt as to which course should be fol lowed, and make a man's interest ap parent. First. A farmer should ' go to market without loss of time . when other parties have an interest in his crop. If the merchant has been promised a part of the proceeds, it is only strict honesty to'ulfil the promise at the .earliest day. Second-... It is never wise for a farmer to borrow money rather than sell his crop. He ' will afterwards keenly : regret this oourse. The anxiety of the speculator will cousunie him, and even should he succeed in gaining an advance, the cost of interest will doubtless eat it up. If a farmer has money in band and grain in his barn, be is independent of contingencies, and . pan lfl as be pleases ; but for all others, wo think the sooner they go to market the better. .Hearth and Home. ' ' 1 ' 1 ' ' - reaches Without Stones. Ad agriculturist has, it is said tried with success the follow ins method 1 of making peaches grow without stones " Turn the tops of the 1 trees down, cut off the ends, stick them into the ground. and fasten them to with sticks ; iu a year or two tneso topi will take root, and when rooted cut off the branches connecting these reversed and rooted branches j with the tree proper, and this rcTersed peach tree will produce fine peaches without stones." -' The same experiment may be tried with plums, cherries, and currants. Peach Batter. ' I'are ripe peaches and put them in a preserving kettle, with sufficient water to boil until soil; then sift through a colan der, removing the stones. To each quart of peach pat one and a half pounds of sugar, and boil very slowly one hour. Stir often and do not let it burn. Put in fitone or gluss jara, and keep 'in a cool place, l'lums are very nice prepared in the same way! A Good Pie. , The following receipt for making a good pie U worthy of dissemination. Tn half a teacuvful of vinegar put one table spoonful of butter, one teaenpful of molas ses, ouo teueupful of dried currants, one egg and a little nutmeg. ' 'Boll two soda crackers fiuo and add to the above, and you will have muteriul enough for three pies. Try them and you will make more. ftir To destroy moths in carpotB, wring a course towel out ot clean water; spread it smoothly 90 the carpet, iron it dry with a good iron; repeat tho operation ou all parts of the, earpet , suspected of being lufestcd with .moths j no need to press Lurd , and neither the pile' nor tho color of the oarpet will be injured, and the moths will be destroyed by the heat 'and steam.
