Harris, president of . the .Maine Board of Agriculture, in 'e course of an address on "Saving and Preparation . of Manures," says he would, 1n summer, ad--vise -stabling as well as in winter. It is useless to make manure unless you save iC Kr. Kobert McKinstry, of Hudson, Columbia county, N. Y., is the possessor of an orchard, situated on the east bank of tho Hudton river, oa nigh, rolling table land, that contains more than 24,000 apple trees, 17,000 pears, 4,009 cherries, aOO peaches, 209 plums, -U00 crabs, vines, 600 currants, and 200 chestnuts. Wisconsin farmers, or some of them, think they can make a lair profit just now in producing pork at $2 30 per hundred, live weight. This sustains us in the position we have takes relative to raising swine. Their manure alone is of incalculable benefit to the farmer, and we question if he finds any other stack so profitable in the end. In order to keep their butter over the period of low prices and hot weather, California dairymen simply seal up their products in tin cans, sinking them to the bottom of of cold streams. Butter mads in April comes out in October in g.xxi order, and continues to keep fresh in the cold weather of winter. Forty-pound cans are commonly used. . ,. An exchange speaks to the point when it says no investment pays so well as money judiciously b pent upon the farm in reasonable improvements. Draining wet land will pay from 50 to 100 per cent, on the cost every year. Good stock pays vastly better than poor; good fences, well selected fruit trees, all pay large profits, as well as addiDg to comfort and seii-respect. For winter feeding, where cattle are kept in stalls and heavily fed, there is no better divisor for corn meal than wheat bran. It is also cheap, and furnishes what the cornmeal lacks. When cattle are fed on cornmeal as the principal food for fattening it is apt to cloy if fed in too large quantities, hence our best feeders are in the habit of using bran as the cheapest and best means for rendering the Baeal fed more digestible. In this each feeder must use discretion as to the proper quantity to be used. A correspondent tells bow he makes a cheap yet sufficiently effective ice-house in the form of a rail pen. He lays down some rails for the bottom, oa which be places a fifteen inch layer of sawdust. He then packs bis ice, leaving around the outside a space of 15 inches, to be packed with sawdust. Straw or boards can be used to prevent the sawdust from escaping through' the cracks between the rails. Two or three feet of sawdust should be placed on the top of the ice; and, finally, four posts or forks should bs set up, one at each corner, to support touie planks for a covering. It would be well to place the whole under a good shade tree, and with such a device one may have ice throughout the summer. Kural New Yorker. Housebeia Matter. Persons suffering from dyspepsia can often digest raw eggs when the stomach is too weak to receive and retain anything else. They are always very nourishing and strength giving. Half a dozen onions planted in the cellar where they can get a little light, will do much toward absorbing and correcting the atmospheric impurities that are so apt to lurk in such places. This month 3ee that Dahlia and other roots are not mouldy; give to the plants in pit and cellar, air and water; prune into shape Camellias, Azaleas, Daphne, etc, when they have finished blooming, and before the new growth commences. An occasional watering with liquid manure is beneficial, especially to plants that are in bloom. Dissolve a large tablespoonful of borax in a pint of boiling water. Mix one quarter of it in the water in which greasy woolen goods are to be washed. Put in one piece at a time, using soap, if needed; and if necessary add more of the borax water. AVash and rinse in cold water, or in water slightly warmed. Shake well and hang where the goods will dry quickly. The acid of apples is among the most healthful of substances taken into the human stomach. It rouses the action of the liver when torpid, and thus enables it to eliminate and throw off the germs of bilious disorders, and those of other diseases arising from slow blood-poison. They must also be classed as among the most important and valuable of the vegetable growths, especially for that class who work with the brain. As many persons can not have scales to weigh with, for the benefit of those who may be without, the following may be useful to know: One pound of wheat flour will measure a quart; of Indian meal one pound and two ounces make a quart; butter, when soft, one pound and one ounce makes a quart; of loaf sugar, broken, one pound is a quart; powdered, white, one pound and one ounce is a quart; of best brown, one pound and two ounces is a quart; of eggs, average size, ten make one pound; thirty -two tablespoonfuls, liquid measure, exactly a pint. How to Bboe Hones. . As so rr.nch mischief results from ignorance as to how shoes should be pnt on the feet of our horses, we ive place to the following good horse sense directions, which we find in the Prairie Farmer: . , . "Why do we shoe horses? It Is because we at the present day have macadamized and paved roads and streets, and the horse's feet can not stand the hard work required of him, barefooted. Consequently we put iron on them to protect them, the same as ferules on canes, tires on wagons, etc. When we put iron on a horse's feet we should put it on so that it will not bs source of torture instead of a benefit. The way to shoe a horse properly is to first take a look at the foot, and find out what it is made of, and try to come to some rational understanding as to the intention of the Creator when he made it, and leave it as we find it, except to protect the wall against wear, and prevent them from slipping. For, if we undertake to improve on what the Creator has done, I think we will fail. The way 1 shoe a horse is this: Look and see if the foot stands in a . natural position, so that he stands upright as we do. If so, level the wall to receive the shoe, and nothing more. Never cut the frog, braces, and sole, nor the heels; let nature do its own work. If let alone, once in six weeks or two months, the frog braces and tole will shed. Hake tbe shoes light at the toe, heavy at the heels (for tbe beelsare the tender part of the foot). Put the nails well forward of the quarters. Use light nails; eencave the shoe until you get to the quarter to protect the. soles. Then convex the heels a little, and yon can not make narrow heels, corns, quarter cracks or contracted feet. 't the shoe cold, and fit it to the foot, not the foot to the shoe. Follow the ; -wa'I nicely; fit the shoe as broad as you can ; ' Bring tbe heels' around to the frog, bat not touch it. Never make the shoe longer than the foot; never bar shoes. In every case they are wron and hurtful. Never rasp the outside wall"; for yoa destroy the ;ass or enamel that protects it against

decay, and -prevents it from growing rough and ridged, .This improper method of shoeing is t'ae cause of more lameness than any oilier one thing. It causes corns, quarter cracks, and contracted feet Whoever pares oe allows to be pared a horse's sole, brace or mo nsl hnvna tho f.-tnt with & hot BhOC. Or

Nwlne Ralnlnr, A writer in one of our Eastern exchanges thinks that the prevalent disease, especially ' what is called "cholera," results largely from breeding the sows too young and feeding too much corn. He says: The general principles, or more properly, the general want of principles, in breeding and rearing swine for the butcher, indulged in by a majority of breeders, has a two-fold tendency for evil. First, we breed too early; a sow of two years, not under, is sure to have strong, healthy pigs, and the mother is able to nurse them up to six weeks, so as to Rive them a start not easily lost, even by after neglect. Then, when a sow proves to be a good mother in every particular, sfao should be kept busy, two broods a year for 10 years. The time lost the first two years is amply regained afterward. Next, we grow hogs of a weakly character, with every part of their systems so aelicate that disease is invited and perpetuated. This condition is brought about by feeding corn constantly, the most debilitating, fever-inviting, stunting kind of food ever invented for any growing animal. Give roots until maturity, a gxd range, and corn only in very severe weather, and while fattening. Hog cholera is the product of weak stoek multiplied by heating food; or, in a mathematical phrase, multiply a drove of hogs by as many constant bellysful of corn, ana you have the constant product hog cholera. Let the hogs choose between roots and corn, and you will grow nine-tenths roots to one-tenth corn; tbe pork crop will weiph 60 per cent more in the fall, be entirely clear of disease, and, if fattened quickly, will pay. Cload Breefliac Essential. "In this cold climate," says Alexander Hjde in the New York Times, "good breeding is almost as essential for the comfort and thrift of stock as is good food. Bismarck says the latter is inspiration. It certainly puts new life into man, energy into the horse, strength into the ox, milk into the cow, and lard into the hog, but if half the virtue of the food is required m keeping up animal heat, and the otner half in renewing the wastes of the body, greatly Increased by every annoying circumstance, from whence is the inspiration to come to stimulate energy- or secretion ot fat Quiet rest and refreshing steep are essential not only to the thrift but to the very existence of both man and beast Experiments prove that animals suffer fully as much from the want of rest and sleep as from the want of food, and every man knows that sleep, in order to be refreshing, must bs attended by a sense of comfort. If the sleeper is shivering with cold, or aching way into his bones from lying on ropes or bard slats with a thin layer of straw over them, the comfort and refreshment is small." Farmers should exercise great care in bedding their animals during the inclement season; and even in summer the extra manure from tying up and bedding cattle will more than repay the trouble and expeus:, besides being better for the stock. If straw is two expens've, sawdust makes an excellent substitute, and has no superior as an absorbent; and leaves, of which every farmer may gather a large store in the fall, furnish a soft bed for his dumb friends, and, though not eo good an absorbent as straw or sawdust, will greatly increase the manure heap in quantity and quality. . Food for fowl. A writer in the New YorkHerald says: "If hens are rightly cared for they should pay from 200 to 300 per cent profit as layers. They must not bs stinted as to space, nor too many kept together. If confined allow at least a square rod to each fowl. Let the floor of the hen house be of dry earth, with a box of dirt and ashes for their sand bath. Keep their quarters clean by removing their dropping at least three times a week. Buckwheat and wheat are the beet grains, although for variety other grains must be given. Give cooked fool in various ways every day. Hush is excellent, as also fresh meat and scraps from the kitchen. To or three 1 times a week give fresh bones and - ground bones, with gravel and broken oyster shells always within reach. Apples, cabbage, turnips and onions, raw or cooked, will be relis led. A good Houdan hen will r.verage from 100 to 150 eggs per year; but to average that a Hock must have care. Thick, sour milk or buttermilk is an excellent article of diet through the heated sjason. The Houdacs are very prolific, and will stanl a great deal of cold, but they must be kept dry. The Plymouth Rocks are almost cocstant layers, and bear confinement welL Their eggs are large and very even in size. Although their frame is not sd large ss the Brahmas, they are more plump and fatten readily. Fronts ot Font try. A correspondent ot the Poultry World gives "facts and figures" as follows, to show that poultry pays: "One of my neighbors has for several years been experimenting largely in poultry. His stock consists of white and brown Leghorns and light Brahmas. He started at the commencement of last year with 108 fowls. He kept an accurate account of the receipts and expenditures. They produced 7.87'J egg. His total receipts in 11 months for eggs and fowls sold, adding what he had consumed, amounted to $244 96; cost of ' feed and other expenses, $117 85; leaving a clear profit of $127.11. He had 98 fowls on hand December 1, which he coasiders worth more than the 108 fowls he hid at the commencement of this year. He has a pair of Light Brahmas that weigh 2ti pounds. Keeps his fowls shut up the year round. Has a largs hennery, the house fronting the south. Gives a variety ot food, such as corn, oats, buckwheat all in grain, and wheat sereenirgs, coarse feed and cornmeal. Also, feeds once a day with beef scraps, and three times a week with onions and turnips, chopped together. ' 1 ' - '. , Haktwa raa Ca.

OUOCERIKS. This department of trade has hell Its own during the week. The demand, though not heavy, has been steady, and both staple and fancy goods are being held at quotations. pry ooons. There has been ouly a fair amount of business transacted In this branch ot trade during the past week. The spring stocks biifc commenced to arrive, and in a few days business will be brisk. To show the feeling of the Eastern market we clip the following from the New York Bulletin of Monday : The market has presented few new or interesting features to-oay, and business was soniewiiut lrreguliir with the commission houses, though fair in some departments. The demand for men's wear woolens has shown no improvement, but there was a steady demand for most descriptions of cotton goods, and a fairly active movement was witnessed iu dress goods, gioghams, hosiery, underwear, etc. The joobing trade has, as a rule, been nuleD, but in some cases fair quantities of staple and department goods were disposed of to Southern and local retailers. Cotton Goods. l'here was a steady demand for leading makes of brown sheetings and wide sheetlnsis and prices continued firm at current quotations, lik-ached goods were also in fair request (for moderate selections), aud Androscoggin L 4-4 and Barker's Mills 4 4 shirtings were advanced to 8c by agents. Stocks of bleached goods are in much letter condition th in for a long time past, and prices are generally firm. Colored cottons were iu moderate (lemma, and there was a fair Inquiry for cheviots an cottonades. Prints. There has been an Irregular demand for iancy prints, and sales were only moderate In the aggregate amount. Medium lancies were in steady request, but selections were chiefly of a nand-to-mouth character, and mainly restricted to the lower-priced makes Light prints were quiet, as a rule. In agent!.' hands, but a very few of the most popular makes were distributed (in small parcels) with comparative freedom. Allen's dress si vies have been reduced by agents to 5c, at which figures these calicoes are a very good purchase, as the line is almost wholly composed of costly work lu new shades, tinted grounds, etc. Messrs.
