AGRICULTURE. BETTER STOVE, BETTER FARMING, AND BETTER TIMES. If every farmer in the • State could be so far impressed with the importance of keening none but the beat stook, as to discard all profit less animals, and determine to rear only the beet, it would take but a few years to better every farmer's pecuniary condition, and to add millions of dollars to the live stock valuation of the State. But what is the beat ? There is the rub ; and that is the very question which these se nual cattle shows, if rightly improved, will help W 3 to answer. On such occasions these animals are very apt to speak for themselves, not by the voice but by their looks and whole appearance. But they do not tell the whole story, and they must be learned by careful inquiry of those by whom they were bred and reared. Just at this time the Ayrshires seem to be in a very high if not the highest favor, in this section of the country ; but we believe there are localities even in this State where they would not be found to be a profitable animal, and in some of the rich grazing towns of Wor cester county and the Connecticut Valley we think their introduction would be a positive detriment to the farmer. On the other hand, there are localities where it would stem to be the part of wisdom and economy to make this the basis of that improvement which is so much needed to insure a larger production of milk from the feed which the farm is capable of pro ducing. Some farmers are so strongly prejudiced in favor of "native stock," that they are entirely indisposed to make any experiments in the way of improvement by crossing with other breeds, and it is no uncommon circumstance to see the mongrel tribe of worthless animals propagated from year to fear even where the best oppor tunities exist for modification and improve ment, simply because farmers will not take the pains to inform themselves as to the good quali ties of the stock of their friends and neigh bors. The sheep question is one which engages the attention of many farmers at the present time, and the high prices of wool and mutton make it a matter of vital importance to those who are about to engage in sheep husbandry, for the first time, to be well informed as to the merits of different breeds, so as to be able to form a correct judgment as to the adaptation of each to the location, soil, or other circumstan cm which will affect their successful manage ment. True, a good. deal can can be learned upon the the subject from books and agricul tural newspapers of the day, but after all, there is nothing which will be so likely to divert a farmer—who all his life has been satisfied with raising the coarse, scraggy, native sheep of New England, with their light fleece and bony carcasses—from the wrong track, and place him upon the road to a higher tuceess, than the actual sight of some of the fine flocks of Southdowns, Cottswolds, Oxford Downs, and Merinos, which have been gradually working their way into the favor and esteem of some of the enterprising farmers in every county in the State, to such manifest advantage and profit. It does not cost any more to raise a really su perior animal of any breed than it does an infe rior one, and the whole of the farmer's profit exists in the sum of the difference between the price of really good stock and that of the mise rable •'scalliwags" that can be seen in the pas tures of half the towns in the State. But yet, be cause of the little item of extra expense at the start, too many„of our farmers jog along with ant an effort to get out of the old ruts—the following in which keeps them poor, as it did their fathers before them. At our annual cattle shows we have presen ted to us samples of what farmers have done and are doing in the way of stock-raising and crop-producing, and we shall not be wise if we neglect to improve these opportunities of learn ing how they do it, and copying upon our farms such modes and processes of improving stock, and increasing the productiveness of our crops as may commend themselves to our favor and judgment. In almost every township there are farmers who . not only etalize larger crops from the same area but always a larger price in the same market for their crops. They have more and finer wool, which sells at a better price. they have larger and fatter lambs upon the same feed, which bring a dollar a head more 111 Brighton market. Their cheese brings a cent a pound, and their butter from two to five cents a pound more, here in Boston, and they will sell their helfees and cows as fast as they can rear them and have them to spare at double the price which their neighbors can obtain, and at the ;same time give the purchaser better bargeins . This is no exaggeration, anti every intelligi gent person acquainted with farmers, farm life, add farm products, knows it to be true. But bow is it accomplished? Simply by keeping the eyes and ears open to all the improvements which are going on about us, and maintaining the possession of common sense enough to be ready always to profit by them—by following in the footsteps which have been marked by others on the road to success, or perhaps stri king out new paths of enterprise where reason and sound judgment point the way. There never was a time so propitious as the present for the elevation of the farming infer gets. Such incentives to effort, such rich promises of reward for enterprise, and such inducements to labor, never dawned upon any previous generation who have tilled the valleys and plains or pastured the hillsides of this sec tion of our country. And it ought to be the ambition and the pride of us all to use these present advantages in such a manner that all our labors shall bring the largest returns of earth's bounties to our barns, granaries and firesides, while at the same time we increase the substantial glory and prosperity of the State and Nation.—Afass. Plowman. FACTS ABOUT APPLES._ We have an old apple tree which was re vived by trimming and grafting it with Bald win scions fourteen pears age. It had been greatly neglected, and was fast running to ruin when the work of renovation was commenced. The trimming and grafting process was not done at once bat judiciously dontinned through three years. Daring this time the sward was dng up and pulverized, and the soil for a di ameter of twenty feet about the tree was ma mired and dressed two or three times with wood ashes. The manure - was slightly dug in when appiied. The new grafts began to hear moderately the third year, and gradually in creased, until in 1860 they gave us seventeen barrels of apples. In 1861 they yielded only s peck or two, and the present year, 1862, twenty-one barrels, most of which were me dium-sized, marketable apples. Another tree, which had seemly a sound limb upon it, was renovated at the same time. This, however, pr ced the Hunt Russet apple, and did not acing_ The.dead wood was cut away, th thinned a little, and a mound of good So teed a foot in height at the trunk. The ground under the branches was dressed with when and old coinposts, abent every other year for tax years. The tree commenced bear ing the summer succeeding the care best ow ed upon it, and has averaged two barrels per year singe. These apples were especially valuable, se it was the only tree en the place that fur nished any fit for family use. By considerable pleasant care, and a moderate expense, we have been enabled to gather this year about one hundred and twenty-five barrels of very line applee.—New England Farmer. APPLYING MANURE IN AUTUMN. A oorrespoudent of the Country Gentlemen thinks the best way for the perfect effusion of the manure, is to sprea d it in the autumn, so that ail the rains of the season may dissolve the soluble portions and carry theta down, where they are alit.orbcd and retained for the growing crop. Ile further says : "In experiments which we have witnessed, where the manure for the corn was thus ap plied in autumn, it has afforded a yield of about seventy bushels per acre, when the same amount applied in spring gave only fifty bush els. A thin coating of manure applied to win ter wheat at the time of sowing, and well har rowed in, has ineresed the crop from seven to ten bushels per acre, and, in addition to this, by the stronger growth it has caused, as well as by the protection it has afforded to the sur face, it has not unirequently saved the crop from partial or total winter killing." HOW TO SET GATE POSTS, Take eq . ual quantities of water-lime and quick-lime and mix with sand as usual; put two or three inches of mortar and coarse gra vel in the bottom of the whole, so the end of the post will not come to the ground; then set your post in, top end down ; fill in several in ches of the mortar, then several inches of the coarse gravel; pound it down ; then more mor tar and more gravel, and se on, until the ce ment is raised above the ground several inches around the post. Slant it away from the poet in every direction, so as to turn off the water; then take coal tar and a brush, paint around the bottom of the post. and fill the interstice between the post and cement with the coal tar. [N.. B.—Only mix enough mortar for one hole at a times] Your post will be as Solid as if set in stone; it don't heave out with the frost, and sag around and pull the boards off. as the water and air cannot get to it.—C. W. C., in the Ohio Fdentet*. STRAWBERRIES-AUTUMN PLANTING. A correspondent of the Country Gentleman says :—All growers of strawberries in the re gion around New York make the most exten sive autumanal plantings between the 20th of September and the 20th of November. We plant new beds until the ground is closed by frost; and always with success. Professor Huntsman says his most successful plantings are those that are made latest. Such as are planted the latter half of November we cover with an upper layer of sedge, strew or hay, not for the purpose of keeping it in when the ground becomes frozen—as by thus shutting out the sun's rays we cause the ground to re main permanently frozen during the winter.— We find that it is not the permanent cold that injures the plants, but the thawings, which draw out many plants, so that their roots be come exposed and are then winter killed. KEEPING GRAPES. We are in the habit of keeping grapes for common use during the winter in the following manner! Take clean, small boxes, pick off the bunches of grapes carefully and pack them in dry grape leaves. Keep tip boxes in a dry, cool place, being careful not to let them freeze. We generally have grapes till May. Cut the bunches carefully off the vines, dip the stem when cut into melted wax, then wrap with paper or cloth. Put a laye), of cotton in in the bottom of your boa, then a layer of grapes and cotton, and so on. Put the box where the grapes will not freeze, and they may be kept good till spring. FOOD FOR. FATTENING POULTRY The elleapest and most advantageous food to use for fattening every description of poultry is ground eats. These must not be confounded with oat meal, or with ordinary ground oats. The whole of the grain is ground to a fine powder; nothing of any kind is taken from it. When properly ground, one bushel of the meal will more effectually fatten poultry than a bushel and a half of any other meal. The greatest point in fattening poultry is to feed at daybreak. fhi tcllattcous.
