A SB IC I' I TJHj I. •pinions of a Farmer. 1 am near fifty years old, was always a farmer, as were my ancestors, as far back as lean trace them. My opinions are formed on experi-1 ence and experiments that satisfy me whether they do others or not Opinion I—Hay should be cut when in full bloom; as all plants contain most saccharine matter then and consequently, are more nutritious, if used for food. It hay is ‘ left later, the sugar tuins to woody fibre. Wood and sugar are chemically the same. 11. All heavy or clayey soils should be plowed in autumn, so that the frosts of winter may pulverize them and kill the germs of insects deposited in the soil for the next season. 111. —The best way to raise calves is to take them from the cow as soon as dropped ;if possible, never let them suck as they learn to eat or drink sooner, and there is no sore teats from biting, aud the task of weaning the cow from the calf is soon over. I put them in a place where they will be sheltered from the sun and rain, give a good bed of straw and feed three or four quarts of new milk per day until three weeks old, then feed skim milk warmed. Let them have access to hay or grass. By this method I have raised calves every year since I can remember, and never lost one in my life. IV. —Nine-tenths of our farmers do not sow enough hay-seeds to the acre. I have kept increasing the amount and have not found a stopping place. The more seed the more and better hay; if timothy and clover, up to half a bushel each per acre. If the surface of the ground is completely covered, the hay will be fine, and no weeds can grow. 1 have choked out Canada thistles with timothy and clover seed sown as thick as“hair on a dog,’ so as to form a good, firm sod the first summer. Sow early in spring, or in February. V. —Oats should be sowed very early, as early as possible. I saw a good crop raised that was sown in February, and was not harrowed but snowed and rained in. VI. —Cooking food for hogs is better than doubling the same amo«nt if feed raw, if you wish to fatten. For breeding, feed lightly’-. VII. —Potatoes are worth more for all kinds of stock, than most farmers think they are. If you can have them frozen and then cooked before they thaw, the starch is changed to sugar, and I know of no food that will fasten faster, or give a better flow of milk. VIII—In fattening beef cjittle with corn meal, never feed so high that you can see or smell the effect of it in the excrements, or you may be sure you are losing your feed, as the cattle do not assimilate all the nutriment there is in the grain.

IX.—I believe corncobs, ground with the corn, useful as residual ' matter, and they also contain sugar enough to pay for feeding, if cooked i or scalded. In Chicago, 111., they ' make a good vinegar from sweet extracted from corncobs. Exploded.—A correspondent of the American, Stock Journal contradicts the story which has been copied into many agricultural papers that the South America shepherd dogs are brought up by being suckled by ewes, and that they are very well trained. He says the only care the dogs in that country give sheep is to kill one occasionally. 1 Paint all tools exposed to the weather and if with a light-colored point they will heat, warp and crack lessVathe sun. Yield'of .Potatos—Among the largest yields of potatoes recently reported, is one fiom Canada, lathe effect that two peach blows, cut idt% Rets, produced two bushels of large, SOU Du Advertise jn the
