A Splendid Dauphin County Farm. One of the finest farms in this State is located in Dauphin Co. about 7 miles below Harrisburg along tho P. R. II. It is owned by Mr. James Young, who by sheer energy and thrift, has risen from the position of bootblack and grootn in his father's tavern to a fortune of half a million. As an investment for his sur plus means, in 1856, he purchased nn old worn out farm, about 250 acres, to which be added, from time to time, acre after acre, until he now owns 800 uores. Unlike most men who havo bought land as an investment in thut county, who are in the habit of farming in the old slip shod style of tenant or share farming, Mr, Young manages and farms every acre of bis land within himself, bclieve ing that the only way to make farming profitable, where land is worth $200 per acre, is in fattening cattle. He started in to feed enough cattle to eat up all the corn and hay raised on his own farm ; and from 20 or 30 head fed at first, ho, during the winter of 1810 and 1871, fed and futteDed for the Philadelphia market some 500 head, generally selling 15 or 20 at a time, and immediately replacing them. In this way he fed some 4,000 bushels of corn and emptied his hay mows, returning both corn and hay to Lis land through tho barn-yard. It would gladden the heart of any believer in com post manure to see tho piles at his differ ent barn-yards. This manure, in con nection with a muck swamp on his place, out of which he has hauled thousands upon thousands of loads of muck, has so enriched bis land that his average crop of 164 acres of wheat this season will be fully 25 bushels to tho acre, aud he lias no hesitancy in saying that his corn crop for several years past has yielded 80 bushels of shelled coin per . aero. A very large proportion of bis land, how ever, is in timothy and clover, as he ro tjuires an immenso amount of hay both to feed his fattening cattle and for the stock kept permanently on his farms. No grain on any of his farms, neither to the fattening cattle or farm stock, is fed whole, n great deal of it being ground by a mill in one of his barns. If any man doubts the fact that one man is capable of successfully and profitably farming 800 acres of land with himself, let him make a visit to that place, and if ho does not fiud everything about tho farm of Mr Young in as neat and prosperous a con dition as on any 150-acro furui, wo will agree to puy the expenses of his trip. Oat Chair for Feed. A year or two ago we wero, by accident led to feed somo oat chaff to a few head of milking cows, and were agreeably sur prised to find that they suddenly came np considerably in their milk. Tho chaff was discontinued for a day or two, when the cows full off to their former quantity; but on feeding tho chuff again, tho flow increased.. Since then the value of oat chaff as a milk producer has' been satis factorily proved by us. This would then make it advisable that when oats are thrashed the chaff should be saved for feed. It may be fed in the place of cut chaff, with the usual wotting, salting, and mixing of the regular allowance of meal. In years when the hay is as scarce as in the present, not only the chaff may be fed, but the oat straw should be care fully saved for fodder. It is quite as nutritious as timothy that has gone to seed. Hearth and Hume. Keeping Winter Apples. With other modes of saving apples all winter and far into the spring, we have more than once suggosted that generally adopted in New England, New York, and the Northwestern States which is to pick them from the trees, sort them out, and put them in dry flour. casks, pressing them down closelv and heading them ud. They should be allowed to stand uudor a shed until cold weather sets in, and then be removed to a dry cellar or some place wherd they will not freeze. (Jare must be taken that none but perfect fruit is barreled. We saw the other day one of the best farmers of Montgomery county putting pp his apples in this munner, and he told us that they frequently kept until early haymaking. Recipe for Curing Beef and Hams. For every hundred pounds of beef, seven pounds salt,' two ounces saltpetre, one and one-half pounds brown sugar and four callous of water. Boil and skim, and pour over tho meat when eold. If properly packed that amouut of water will cover the meat. , , For pork, pack the hams and shoulders together.- 'Jo every hundred pounds, take eight pounds salt lour ounces salt petre, one and one-half pounds sugar aud lour gallotiB of water. .
