are that a much greater amount of will be produced this season than last a necessity for which certainly exists ex ats corn dorn matured rapidly during b the latter part of angust Ari arl gust and there is not much in this th s valley yet unripe and no inconsiderable amount of the crop has been cut up and secured the yield where properly cultivated is abundant and will more than make up the

seems questionable whether as much attention is paid to what may be called vegetable moud mould as the subject demands all soils contain vegetable matter in a greater or less degree and there are some soils such as those of america americas which are almost wholly composed of it the vegetable matter indeed which is contained in the soil of the backwoods of america has naturally enough been regarded

BREEDING this may seem a dull subject for a lecture but we suspect it might be quite as interesting in competent hands bands and more profitable than some of the lyceum lectures which are now so common about the country A mr baldwin of bredon house near birmingham england delivered a lecture ou on pig breeding which contains many important facts we extract a few sentences in opening tho lecture mr baldwin saida eaid in 1845 he be entered on a farm at King enorton in 1846 he purchased pur chosed two gilts and a boar of the tamworth breed from his cousin who abo was famed for his breeds of Tam and although he the lecturer c breed iri ili ins with pigs in 1846 in 1851 he bold eold 1000 worth of 0 store and ana fat tat plea piga one year and in the years 1852 1853 1854 and 1855 he iod asod lod 1000 worth each year when he had bad rot jot ot his bis stock up to about 40 breeding bows in picking the breeders bleeders bre eders he be used to pick them several times over as it frequently happened that those which looked the 1 est and best beat when young altered considerably when they got three four or hye five months old i the rule was to pick long growing piga pigs and those that were el raight and thick through the aboul shoulders dpra and healt and experience has baa convinced him that his bis method of chrosin choosing 0 was a correct one there need be no greater proof of that than the number of medais medals and affe prizes lz ei he had obtained he always kept to the tamworth breeds generally purchasing the boars boara but breeding the sows bows if he found the pigs getting too fine he purchased a good strong boar and IE if the animal exhibited tendencies denci ea the other way he picked a boar of good small bone but was always alway s particular 0 o

it HAY liay the thie editor of the new en england famer famey er has a high opinion of clor clover er hay bay for cows better we think than has usually been accorded to ft in new england we copy the following from a late nuz num number ber of that sheet farmers who have kept wept and themselves fed a variety of stock stocks sheep horses oxen and cows both dry and in milk are pretty much of one opinion we believe as to the value of clover clorer bay f r such stock viz that when it lil ill is well grown and properly property secured it is more valuable than any other hay bay stich such certainly is our opinion I 1 after having fed it extensively exten ively and particularly to sheep in a recent conversation with mr bir john day ot of boxford Box ford tord who cuts large quantities of 0 clover he stated that he be feeds most of his clover hay I 1 to cows givin giving milk and he has noticed that when the clover is exhausted and herds grass and ond redtop red top are supplied twenty cows immediately shrink brink two cans of milk per dayl daj 1 we have heard beard similar statements from other observing farmers if then clover hay is so excellent for producing milk it must also be good for making flesh and especially excellent in promoting a the growth of young stock |
