It is so-nctimcs said that the cow is a machine for the m nu:a tureof milk and butter. This is true, w ith somo import ant limitations. 'Ihe cow is a living mechanism, and therefore re ulrcs more careful management than no, insensate ma chine could need. There is such a thing as wearing out cows by injudicious feed ing. Oood cows have enormous appe tites, and demand abundant and n itri tious food. But they should not be forced or tempted to eat more than they natur ally will. While the coarser and less palatable ration should be given freely, yet grains and meal must be limited. Pome of the treat milk nnd butter records foi short periods have been made by stimulation w th food, wlAch for animals is almost as destructive to health as st m illation by drink is to en. The only coirecttest of cow is i heir yearly pro duct. Another way in which irood co ws are spoiled is by deficient nutrition dur ing those times when they are not giving milk. The ovner thinks that less aud poorer feed will do them, and so the cow while be .ring her calf is fed largely on straw and becomes poor. Ameriain Cul tivator. Four Points in larru Practice. Mr. E.

IM.icc stress j on the advantage of running pig in i orchards, producing strong, healthy I growth of pig, and at the same time pending rue trees. Has frequently saved I considerable sums by tue practice of , Kcepinf a cash account in connection with his diary, in the way of avoiding the repayment of small accounts once paid, where credit had failed to be given. Condemns the drawing oil of small stones so closely as is sometimes dune. Believes that on his hind they are an ad vantage in retaining heat ami mois'ure in the soil. Would not remove these small stones from any lad except such as might be termed stony land. Thinks it mUht pay on sidehilla when plowing j tne lat time preparatory to seeding down, te follow after the plow nnd throw them in tho furrow and thus leave them below the surface. Has practised this some during the past few years, and is pleased with tho result. Apple Culture, We know that in the early settlement of the connti v to rilant a fruit tree I - - . . . all there was to be sure of a certain ciop of perfect, smooth, beautiful fruit, re- : marks the ta i nnd U.ude i. .Varieties til) ! jyjcsiinX-grciw now, were then very hiicSrrriabuiidant. Wormy fruit was hardly known, and trees weie long lived, healthy and vigorous. Why is it not so now? Why is it so di licult to grow tine fruit? our land is richer. We can grow Letter, rnps of grain, why not ! i u uii! i nere is a reason tor tins, as there is for other things. It cannot be climate, for that is about the i-aine as it always was. Tho secret is insects. They have multip ied aud sp end since the early settlement of jtlie eountiy until they inlest every orchard and spread ruin fur and wide. Some are busy at the roots, gapping vitality from them ; some at the trunk, boring it full of holes; some at thu bark, living to destroy. The blanches are full of them. The leaves are iufu-ted uud eaten by multitude of them. The tree survives their attacks, but does not prosper. This is the cause of failure of many orchards. We must i ombat them, if wo expect to grow rinu fruit. We have illustrated many of the mo-t harm ful inserts, uud tolj our readers how to subdue them. They who tight insects most will grow the best fruits of all kinds. Study the Capacity of the Farm. Every farmer should stu ly the i apaci of his farm, so a to be able to turu its resources to the best acc ou it. Some fin in are naturally adapted to gras pro- i du tion, and can be made to produce ' hea.y crops of hny yearly for a loug time. Other farms soon run out when 1 seded to gra-s, but are go-id for crop- j Ping, t in such farms a lni ge area should be ploughed yearly, cropped and lertil- ized, ami seeded down. 1 or a few yeurs good crops of giH-s can be obtained", and i luen the lanu needs reseeding, 'I he aim j on sin h farms shun d b to have from one-third to oue-hu.f of the till ige under the plough all the time, s that the grtms land will nil be newly-seeded, and the farmer will be able to re-plough a soon as the giass begins to run out. Theti there are fuims that are rocky and rough. The soil is stony and leitile, but is not adapted to cultivation. Apple trees, perhaps, will thrive w ilh remark able vigor ou such land, aud the fanner should accept the indication, und piaut it to upplu trees until he has all he can tuke care of. A man in I'ast Winthrop, Me., had a farm of that character. Jt w of little value for tillage, but he found that the l.oxbury ruct throve remarkably well, and produced excellent fruit, lie "took the hint," and set his farm hugely to Ituxbury ruset trees toupjl uea !y thirty a res were covered, tier the ai some years, he soils .',iioi "An act provu. ne has made a rocky M liolwsulri lleulti0 fm m one of the mo-t liuuorij," so far as the sui.iy because he cable under the provfoloiia oi i. h it was By THE Cum.. best adapted. This 1i what the farmer should try to do study the capabilities of his farm, and then try so to manage it thnt he will draw out' of it the but that it i capable of affording. It will not do to manage farms all in one way, on account of the great diversity in soils and physical conditions. Dr. H. Rey nold, in Kramintt natter Making. During the lute session of the Dairy men' Association of New York Mr. W. II. Gilbert read a paper on "Butter Making. ' He said, as reported in the Ornngt ("mntp h'a nur, that when he went into butter making he made up his mind that he wanted a butter cow. from information and reading he further made tip hi mind that the .leisey was the best, lie began by buying a registered Jersey bull and bred from the best cows on his place. During the past season he made in June one pound of butter from M.lii pound of milk; in August, from 17. 1-1 pounds: in September, from IT. Ml pound: in October, from IS.4M, and in jNoec cber, from 1". IS. He has about 100 cows in milk, from two to ten yens of age, their average weight being about T iO pounds, lie likes hii ows to come in during the fall and early winter. In sum nier they graze in the day and are in yaid at night. About ,'uly he begins to "feed green clover and continues until August: then feeds green corn fodder, two hills of corn night and niorni' g lie use twelve to fifteen tons of plaster in winter in the stable, and feeds silngeand grain morning and evening. In summer he milks the cows at 0 a. m. and U p. m., in winter nt tl a. m. and r. m. The milk is set in submerged cans as soon as p ssible after milking. After the cream is skimmed it is raised to a tem perature of sixty-two in summer aud si.ty-five in winter to ripen, which gen erally takes about twenty-four hours. During this process it is frequently stirred, the aim being to keep it at a uniform temperature. He churns it at a temperature of sixty-two to sixty-four in summer and in winter from sixty-four to sixty-seen. He uses a revolving box churn, and churns on an average about forty minutes. As torn a ths butter is well granulated stop churning, draw off the buttermilk and then w ish the butter with a weak brine. The butter is then taken out, malted one ounce salt to a pound worked, put up in one pound prints and sold. Farm and Garden Notea. Sheep need a little grain in winter. Warmth saves food iu keeping live stock. The fodder-cutter is an economical machine. Roup in chickens is caused by expos ure to dampness and draughts. Watch for eggs of tent-caterpillar on tree and cut off and burn them. The farm tool room or repair shop should be patronized at this season. In feeding turnips do not give too many. Skim milk for calves should be fed warm and sweet. j Supply poultry with plenty of sharp gravel when the ground is frozen hard. Thev must have something to errind their looa. tJood food, pure water, not too cold, and warm stables, are the three great agenta in milk production, says Hoard's Dairyman. p.'n. Jacobs thinks that the ventila- Hon hole in the top of the poultry house r0(,f kills more fowls in winter than anv other cause, Cold and la -k of food may check the growth of wool, and when it grows a jaiu a bud place in the fibre often marks the point of stopping and beginning again. Don't throw feed of any kind in the mud or in the dust. Have an elevated Mooring to feed hoys on and keep it clean. The dust in hog pens is said to prolific cause of sickuess. f . i). t urtis sa.s tnat larmera can make cheaper and better pork by stint ing hogs to half the amount of grain they would eat, and then giving them all the rutabaga leaves they will eat. Shut up the cracks with tar paper or other material. It will keep out the frost and cold winds that are prevalent at this season of the year. A general cleaning up and renuiiing should be - - rs I I o done now before a change in the weather arrives, and when it will not be bo pleasant to work about as it is now. Teas have been found an exceedingly effective food for producing milk. In the feeding test of a noted Jersey cow, in w hich an average of seen pounds of butler daily was given for a week, six teen pounds of pea me d was fed per duv. with sixteen pounds of oat meal, and twenty-four pounds of corn meal, j If the end of a fresh egg be applied to . the tongue, it feels cold; that of a stale egg feels warm. This is due to the white ! of the fresh egg I eing in contact with theshell, and abstracting the heat from j the tongue more rapidly than does the air LKiijLle in tne sta e one. f resh eggs are most transparent in the centre, stale ones nt the end. (;rew a Beard After Death. About thirteen years ago Hal Clayton, one of the best known gamblers on the coast, died here of a fo.er. He wa rich, aud his remains were placed in a costly metallic casket with a giass case and c nsigned to a handsome tomb. Ills wife, who wa frantic with grief, pta ed her diamonds on his shirt-front. The stones were valued at 0ii. Tearful lest the gems would be taken from the vault she placed a wa ch al the to'iib, and it was maintained for many weeks. I lay tun was a Southerner, and the body was 1 dispo ed of above ground. I A few days ago George Dobbs, who his the care of the cemetery, was pos , scskcd with a curiosity to visit Hal ( lay t 'U' tomb, and se uiing the keys of the , vault took a look at thu remains. He was astonished to rind that Clayton's beard j and mustache had grown under the glass , case to such an ex ent that they reached below his knee. The beard whs a rich brown color, extending in wavy mas es o er the bodv and havincr u iierfectlv healthy appearance, as it might have had ou a living man. Ihe beanl bad been growing in this way f r th riecu yeurs. Clayton had a romantic life. He was engaged to a handsome young girl in the Soulh und left her to seek his fortune. She became tired of his absence, and, ( set'iug out to find him, diifted homeless ; and friendless from one mining camp to ' another. After years of this life she met , her foi mer lover, but was so chunked by j her wandering life that he relused lo I marry her. After his repudiuuou of his old sweetheart be became sick, and when lying at death's door she came to j his bedside and nur-ed him back to health. Killed with gratitude at her de I votion, he renewed the affection of his ! youth and married her. Sjie proved a i devoted wife, und when he died she built j at large expense the vault where his re mains now lie, a id in which his beard ha beeu growing all these years. Whether the diamonds are on h's shirt t front is not known, as the beard hides the ' body from the k uees up. (rr (.Yo. ) 111!

There is, perhaps, no better known lunar prognostic than that referred to In the 0 d Scotch ballad of Sir Patrick Spent: " P evwr alack t my master dear. I fear a deadly storm. 1 1 the new moon late yestreen, V the sulci moon In her arm; And If ye (jsne to sea, maister, I fear will miifer barm." Chamber, in "Tha Book of Days," says that to see "tho old moon in'ihe arm of the new one " is reckoned a sign of fine weather another cur ou-examp e of how sayings get twiste 1; but in that statement he is quite wrong. The appear ance is almost universally held to be a sign of I ad wnaiher. Two explanations have been offered to account for the prognostic, iu ea. h of which there is un doubtedly a measure of truth. When tho moon a wars new " to s, the earth would appear " full " to the lunar inhabi tants, if tlaro were any; and what causes the dark part of tiie young moon to bo dimly visible is its reflection of the brilliant earth-shine. The earth, however, will not always tdiine w ith equal br lliancc, even when the same amount of surface is illu minated, for obviously clouds reflect more light than either land or sen. Hence, w hen an unusual illumination of the night-side of the moon is apparent, it shows that the earth-shine is excep tionally stmng, which in turn is an Indi cation of the presence nf a large amount of cloud in our atmosphere. Further, as a moment's consideration will prove, the c'oud era must lie to the west of us, tho direction from which we leceive most Of Olir Storms' an thnt thn miinlli.a of the old moon in the arms of the new. virtually mi an th it there are astc oud banks over the North Atlantic ocean which, in all probability, are drifting tip to us, and will, before long, bring us "dirty" weather. I am not dis posed to go so far as Mr. John Aitken, who, in a paper recently read before the royal society of Fdinburgh, suggested the use of the moon's dark limb a an ' out yingsignal station," but it is atisfartory to know thnt this vene rabje prognostic has a sound physical bads, and is as worthy of respect as ever it was.
