lllnts About Work.
Ground plaster (gypsum) is a cheap
and valuable fertilizer for all the broad
leaved crops?com, potatoes, beans, etc.,
as well as clover. For such it may be
applied early, scattering a full handful
around each plant or hill. Being soluble
(though slowly), it will be washed into
the soil by rains. There is no reason
why it should be scattered upon the
leaves, as is so often recommended by
some writers.
Mangels, beets or carrots may yet be
sown, if net already in the ground.
With roots, early sowing is of great ad
vantage, and rich soil a necessity. In
the absence of other manure, super
phosphate of lime, or fine bone flour, in
the drill near the seed, is of great value
for tho above, as also for rutabagas and
turnips. Rutabagas may be sown later
in the month. As a preventive against
the fly, or turnip or cabbage flea, some
fresh lime, " dry-slaked," with water in
which some carbolic acid has been dis
solved, may be dusted over the plants.
This may be done as quickly as a man
can walk, and five or six acres may be
dressed ill a day. The English farmers
eoak the seed in tar water, which, they
say, saves the seed leaves from the flea.
Wo have not tested this plan, but it may
perhaps bo worth a trial.
It is a gocd thing for a farmer not to
be afraid of weeds. Some think and aot
as though they could not be killed. We
know that they can be if properly man
aged. The secret is to start early and
keep at them. Perseverance during the
whole season is necessary. Harrowing
tho ground soon after the crops are
planted, and again as soon as they are
up, and then cultivate often, will nearly
demolish them. Any that escape the
pimplements should be hand pulled.
rsine hours work iu the field, now
that wo have so many labor saving im
plements, iE enough for horse or man.
Two^hours rest at noon will be well for
tho Horses, giving them time to eat, and
opportunity -to digest their food. The
tenth of tho time thus taken from work
will be move than regained in the better
health of the animals, and their ability
to work the other nine hours.
In feeding oxen, it must be remem
bered that they are ruminating animals,
and need to be fed differently from
horses. Having a large stomach, an ox
needs coarse food to fill it. An ox, there
fore, is not refreshed by a feed of fine
meal; but is by one of cut hay or straw
ard tieal mixed, and the noon feed for
oxen should be of this kind. Give am
ple time for feeding and rest at the noon
spell.
Cows are now in their flash of milk,
and it is the harvest time of the dairy.
J nno bntter is the best of the year ; the
fresh grass gives both rich color and the
best flavor. To preserve these, every
operation of the dairy shonld be done
with scrupulous cleanliness. The quality
of the feed shonld be looked to, for the
quality of the milk depends upon it.
The best calves should be retained and
raised to make dairy cows, instead of
sending them to the butcher.
Lambs should be pushed forward by
giving the ewes a little extra feed at
night. A handful of mixed bran and
crushed oats, daily, for each ewe, will
greatly increase the milk, and help to
rear hardy and large lambs. Guard

free the Limbs from the ticks, which
gathoir upon them, after the ewes are
shorn, cither by dipping 01 hand pick
ing. A boy or girl can soon clear a few
lambs of ticks, by killing the insects
with a pair of sharp pointed scissors.
Both the ticks and their eggs should
be nipped with the points of the scis
sors.
Allow pigs a run in a piece of olover
an orchard. It would be good for the
pigs, and prevent much damage from
insects, if the orchard were kept as a
pasture for awiue, and managed qp that

might be made to alternate with rye for
this purpose. Spring pigs, intended for
the butcher in the fall, should have as
raiicu grain, or noueu powwes, no wvy
will eat. There is nothing better for
them than boiled potatoes, mixed with
either corn or barley meal. Stock hogs
will do well npon a clover pasture, and
an ear or two of corn daily. Fresh water
should be given in abundance. Regular
feeding and watering morning and
night, should not be neglected, because
other work presses. Remember that
hog cholera and othfer diseases are in
variably caused by neglect or proper
precaution.
Clover as well as grass should be cut
before the bloom is past. Prepare
everything for haying, that there may be
no delay when the work commences. In
the Northern States orchard grass and
clover must be cut near the end of June,

may be cut somewhat later, as it will be
heavier, though ooarser, than that cut
early.
All tools net required for use, should
be carefully 6towed away, and those
needed should be put in the best order.
Keep all tools bright and sharp, and
machines should be "oiled at the bearings,
and greased with tallow and black lead
at the gearings. See that all the bolts

Qnentlona and Answers.
A 6horthorn breeder being asked in
the American farmers' club why he pre
ferred the shorthorns to other breeds,
replied : " Because there is more profit
in them, there is more of them, and you
can get more out of them." He also as
serted that the young stock bring the
highest of prices; the cows give the
richest of milk, which makes the best of
butter, and that they have no superior
for beef, therein combining, according
to his experience, more good qualities
than any other breed of cattle. They
are, furthermore, kind and gentle, are
hearty feeders, make good breeders and
good mothers, and are the best known
for improving native stock.
Is Hungarian grass good for sheep ?
According to several successful sheep
breeders it may be fed with good results,
only care must be taken to cut it early
enough and have it properly cured. It
should bo cut while in bloom, and
stacked or stored in the barn as soon as
cat. The value of any grass" that is to
be fed in a cured state is lessened by al
lowing it to ripen the seed before cutting,
and this is particularly the case with the
grass in question. When properly cut
and cured sheep prefer Hungarian hay
to any other.
Is green food essential to poultry?
Yes, at all seasons of the year; when
fowls are confined to limited quarters
it should be supplied to them. In win
ter tliey can have cabbage, chopped tur
nips, etc. Ia the early spring pasture
sods thrown into the hennery will be
ravenously eaten; or if the fowls can be
given free access to the fields the new
grass will be equally acceptable and
beneficial. Young chickens, when nol
allowed to ran free, should have an
ample supply of cut or pnlled grass
each dav. - *
How about oil cake for horses, sheep
and cattle. : :
When judiciously given it is "benefi
cial, but too- many farmers make the
mistake of not using it with other kinde
of nutritive food. Oil cake is intended
for the purpose of assisting in the as
similiation < ? other food in the produc
tion of fat, and is also given to horses,
broken' into small pieces, to improve
their condition. Sheep and cattle are
fond of it, but horses sometimes refuse
it. When fed to horses the quantity
should never exceed one pound per
day. ,
What nre the indications of a good
milch cow, aside from any particulai
breed ? That is to say, what distinction
is to Lo observed in the selection be
tween a cow intended for the dairy and
one intended for the butcher ?
The milch cow should be thin anc
hollow in the neck, narrow in the breasi
and point of the shoulder, light in the
fore quarters, and showing in no pavl
mnrh disposition to put on fat. Tht
udder should be full and round and oi
equal size and substance throughout)
and thin to the touch. If it feels coarst
and lumpy the bag will contain butlitth
milk, and if it shows more behind thai
in front the milk will fall off soon aftei
calving. The teats should stand square
at oqual distances, and should neither
be very large nor very thick toward the
udder, but about equal, yet ending in a
point. Care should also be taken to se
lect a cow of kindly temper, as such an
one gives far less trouble than those of
nervous, vicious dispositions, and gener
ally parts with the milk more readily,
besides possessing it in greater quanti
ties.

The Fodder Valne ol Apples.
In his investigation of the fodder
valne of apples, Prof. Storer confirms
the observations of other chemists, to
the effect that apples are very poor in
nitrogen. The flesh of Baldwins and
Russets yielded 15.7-17.5 per cent, of
dry organic matter (the rest being wa
ter and mineral matters), and only 0.21
0.27 per cenr. of albuminoifls. Apple
pomace contained 22.3 per cent, of dry
organic matter, and 0.98 per cent, albu
midoids. Leaving the water ont of ac
count, the dry matter of the flesh of
apples contains 1.43 per cent, of albu
minoids, while the dry matter of pota
toes has 8.54, and pumpkin 17.32 per
cent of albuminoids. From these facts
two interesting oonolusions are to be
drawn. First, the small amount of ni
trogen explains at least one reason for
the low value of apples for feed and for
manure; and, second, to make econ

food rich in nitrogen should be added.
In this way not only the sugar, but also
the peC'tose, of which apples are largely
composed, may be economically utilized
as food.
The Granary of the World.
The New York Sun claims that the
United States is destined to be?If not
now entitled to be called?the granary
of the world, and supports the assertion
by figures which show that of the bread
eaten by the millions of Great Britain,
the United States furnishes nrarly fifty
per cent, of the wheat. That our export
trade is growing is vouched for by the
fact that from January 1st, 1876, 10,
000,000 bushels of wheat were shipped
from the port of New York alone, against
6,400,000 bushels for the corresponding
period 01 jlovo.
Tlie future growth of the exports of
flour and grain from the United States
cannot be measured. During the last
six years it has increased from 27,978,
669 bushels in 1869 to 107,243,158 bush
els in 1874. With undiminished land
resources, we can supply almost any
conceivable demand. In the very nature
of things that demand must largely in
crease. The principal customer, Great
Britain, received from that port alone,
from September 1st, 1874, to Septem
ber 1st, 1875, of wheat, 21,871,264
bushels ; of com, 10,488,993 bushels.
In the very best crop years she looks
abroad for bread. With a population of
over 32,000,000, in 1875,* her supposed
requirements of wheat and flour for
home consumption (not including seed),
at the rate of five and one-half bushels
per capita, amounted to 22,293,125 quar
ters, of which sho import?! 11,770,372
quarters. While her total home pro
duction of wheat falls so largely short of
her requirements for home consumption,
the acreage of the United Kingdom, in
cluding the Channel islands, I'nder crops
of grain has actually diminished from
11,755,053 acres in 1870 to 11,368,059
acres in 1875. It will thus be seen how
entirelv Great Britain is dependent on
foreign oountries for very nearly fifty
per cent, of the bread annually eaten by
over 32,000,000 of people, and how ex
tremely precarious becomes her situa
tion in the case of the failure or partial
failure of her grain crop.
In the event of such a calamity to the
people of Great Britain, their principal
sources of supply would be from this
conntry. The natural and artificial
facilities for transportation by water in
North America are unequaled by any
other great division of the earth; and the
railway facilities are unparalleled. The
United States and the Canadas share
alike in these mixed transportation
facilities, and are competitors for the
vast and growing carrying trade between
the interior and the Atlantic seaboard
ports. The low rates of transportation
HULL* I1UVC1XV1 IJ\J uuo ooauvaau uutu
enabled the United Statea to supply more
than one-half of the -wheat and flour im
ported into Great Britain, while we have
almost the monopoly of British corn im
ports?namely: in 1874 the total imports
of maize into the United Kingdom were
17,693,625 cwts., of which the United
States supplied 13,454,617 cwts. In
1874 the United States sent to Great
Britain, of wheat, 27,206,052 cwts., and
British North America only 4,206,652
cwts. Russia, Moldavia, Wallachia,
Turkey and the Austrian territories are
being gradually driven out of the grain
markets of Great Britain, by the abilitv
to lay down American grain in British
ports at such rates as almost defy
competition.

To buy eggs from a fine old farmer

of the simplest of his tricks. To pull
eggs out of the mouth of a huckster, or
to shake silver and gold out of his hair,
were introductory feats only. Most
noteworthy, perhaps, of his feats was
the twisting off the head of a pigeon,
and, upon the indignant owner asking
pay, restoring the bird to life?to such
vigorons life, indeed, that the bird flew
away, oompalling Herrmann to pay for
his joke after all. The party returned to

A NEW YORK ESTATE.
he Great Thounand-Acre Farm that Ben
Halladay Fenced In In Westchester
County?An Interesting Description.
In 1868 Ben Halladay, the well known
Western mail contractor, bought an
nmense farm in Westchester county,
r. Y., and at once begun the arrange
lent of a country house that should be
imilar in plan and adornment to the
reat properties of English noblemen.
Le oougnr, says a oun correspondent,
t first only a few hundred acres, but
raduaUy extending his domain from
me to time, he at length brought into
is possession nearly 1,000 acres of the
est farming lands of New York State,
[e presented the whole territory to his
rife, and she took entire charge of the
lying out and adornment of the grounds,
'he construction of a suitable dwelling
ouse was at once commenced. On a
welling knoll about four miles from the
illage of White Plains the foundations
f the house were laid, the site - being
bout a quarter of a mile from the ttujn
ike that winds from White Plains*to
[arrison. The rock of which the house
j constructed is a blue granite, and
; was quarried from the farm. The
uilding is constructed in a peculiar
tyle, being a union of English and Ger
lan architecture, uutsiae it is entirely
ompleted, but inside the rooms are un
nished and the walls have simply a
overing of lath and plaster. They are
are of furniture and carpets, and have
moldly, abandoned look. The walls
re three stories in height, and on the
astern side is a tall stone tower, capped
y a beautiful slate roof. Inside the
uilding everything has a drear and
esolate look, In the basement, which
i moldy and drear, are many rooms,
ellars, laundries, wine rooms, furnaces,
ad other apartments; in the second
iory is a long, unfinished dining-room
lat would seat at least fifty persons,
ad in addition there are suites of rooms
hose object may only be guessed,
'rom the first Btorv a bare fiierht of pine
airs, broad enough for the ascent of a
jlumn of soldiers, leads up to the
jcond story. In this story are almost
nmberless rooms that may be used for
Imost any purpose. Some are square,
Dme circular, and all are provided with
very modern appliance. The rooms are
nished with different kinds of wood,
ad while in one apartment there may
e a contrast of oak and American wal
ut, in another is a chestnut and tropic
'ooded embellishment.
From the highest window of the
ranite tower there is a glorious view,
'or miles and miles in every - direction
oil the green, glossy knolls and valleys
f a land that is perfect in symmetry and
eauty. To the north and west in the
listy horizon are the Palisades and
leepy villages of the Hudson, to the
outh is a velvet spread of hills and
ales, and on the southeast is the blue
rater of the Bound. To fill up the pic
ture are brooks, woodlands, hillocks,
Teen meadows, and^the tall church
pires and white wailed houses of coun
ty villages.

ailed, and is named on the bars of the
reat iron entrance gates, runs a tall
;ranite wall capped with smooth cat
tone. This wall was built by special
ontract, and it cost $40 a rod. It in
loses the entire farm, and within its
ircuit are a multitude of farmhouses
nd rural cottages, in which dwell many
enants of the estate. There are two
ntrances to the Ophir Farm; one is at

.orfch, and each has a massive stone
atehonso and solid graveled drives,

jansy valley near the turnpike, stands

phich Mrs. Halladay, who was a devout
Catholic, rigorously performed the du
ies of her faith. A long, winding,
rhite graveled lane leads from the
ihateau down a sloping hill to the en
rance of the church. A few granite
iteps lead up to a landing under a heavy
toned porch, on the side of which are
Biblical statues in Parian marble. In
lide the chapel are a dozen or moro vel
ret clad seats that stand before a little
iltar, on which are golden candlesticks,
igures of the crucifixion, and waxen
ijndles. Many bronze statues of saints
ine the altar, and a beautiful painting of
he Immaculate Conception is hung at
he rear of the altar. * At the north and
mtside of the chapel is the tomb of the
amily, in which are buried Mrs. Halla
Ifty and her children. On one side of
he church is the room, separated by
lardwood blinds, in which the choir
lang their Catholic songs. West from
he stone mansion, in a smooth, curving
ralley, are the farmhouses, the cattle
rards, the breeding stables, and many
>ffices that aro used for the business of
he farm.
Beyond the farmhouses to the west is
>robably the most magnificent apple
>rchard in eastern New York. It covers
icores of acres, and as the trees are all
ull grown, they shed a perpetual sum
ner shade over the ground. The crops
)f this orchard were in years past as
ronderful as the stories of the "Arabian
lights." It is said that in past seasons
hey amounted to tens of thousands
)f bushels of fruit.
When Mr. Halladay bought the Ophir
?arm he was in the full flood of his flnan
:ial prosperity. He was the owner of
he overland stage route, and was specu
ating in beef on the plains that brought
lim thousands upon thousands of dol
ars. His mail pay from the government
>n the overland route amounted to about
pi, 500,000 a year, and from his stages ho
eceived about 81,500 a day. He also
>wned a steamship line from San Fran
iisco to Portland, Oregon; a lino from
California to the Sandwich islands, and
t line to Australia. At this time it'was
estimated that he was worth about
510,000,000. Soon he sold out all his
iteamship lines, and invested his money

For the estate in Westchester county,
rith the expenses of the buildings and

Kith several sons and a daughter, under

OLD TIME KiSLICS.
The Old hog Cabin at the Expo?ltIon-*LIfe
as it was n Centner Age?Pretty Girls In
Anolent Coitnmca?Rellcaof "Ye Olden
Time."
A. point of special interest to lovers of
;he ancient is the old log cabin on the
Centennial gronnds, and it is crowded
srith visitors, many of them hailing from
New England, who feel an especial in
terest in this representation of ye oldon
Sime, from the fact of its having its
srigin with the ladies of that section,
Miss Emma Sonthwick, the presiding
genius of the establishment, hailing
from Boston. In addition to Miss
3outhwick there is to be seen a bevy of
handsome young ladies dressed in the
sostume of the time that tried men's
aonis, who politely give visitors snch in
formation regarding the relics on exhi
bition as lies within their power. This
attracts many visiiiors, particularly those
whose love for the ancient is mixed with
* due regard for the beantifnl. The cos
tumes worn by the attendants possess
ill the peculiarities of our great-grand
mothers, and, with tho powdered flair
md fresh young faces, add a charm to
the surroundings.
The relics are numerous, and of an
ige that cause them to be looked upon
with more than ordinary reverence. In
the back or bedroom stands an old bed
stead, surrounded with the quaintest of
surtains, and covered with sheets whioh
belonged to Mrs. J. P. Joyce, of Lynn,
Mass., and which were the property of
tier ancestors more than two hundred
fears ago. Over these is thrown a
[juilt of the most peculiar pattern, cov
sred with figures odd and rare, and
which must have taken the maker
months and months to bring to perfec
tion. Then there is a chair which was
brought from England in the second
3hip. The walls are adorned with pic
tures, four representing the seasons,
which were printed in 17H6; a graveyard
3cene, 150 years old, representing, bnt
in a ornde way, a child weeping at the
cprave of its mother. On a table is to be
jeen a lamp mat worked by a lady in
1776, who was then in her ninety-third
year. Alongside of it is a chair made in
Danvers, Mass., over 200 years ago, and
which descended from the family of
Governor Endicott. At the foot of the
bed is a spinning wheel 150 years old.
Against the o*her wall is a clook said to
bave been made 168 years ago; under
neath is John Alden's desk, whioh was
brought over in the May Flower, and as
& fitting comparison stands a model of a
monument made by Charles lie Duo
from tho wood of the old elm on Boston
common. At different places in this
room are other articles, old, but never
theless beautiful.
Going into the sitting-room the first
thing that attracts the attention of the
antiquarian is the old fireplace, with the
traditionary log. On a center table
rests a bound volume of the first reb'gi
rras newspaper overprinted in New Eng
land, entitled the Herald Gospel of
Liberty, and published at Portsmouth
by Elias Smith in 1808. A representa
tive of the modern press Too'iing upon
ihis relio is struok with tiio peculiarity
is well as oddity of its typographical ap
pearance, and he naturally thinks of the
idvancement made in journalism and
She " art preservative of all arts " since
;liat day. Its articles are eagerly scanned
md commented upon by visitors, while
i young lady attendant stands by to see
inat its pages ue not mutilated by .the
rude touch of men who fail to recognize :
Its value.
When the log cabin was originally de
rigned the fireplace, with its quaint sur- AN1
roundings, was intended more as a relio dot
of a past age than to be brought into "J
practical use, but the chilly atmosphere are
that prevailed during the days following not
the opening induced the ladies in tioi
3harge to light the fire, the blaze of Uoi
which threw its genial warmth around dM
the room, making it comfortable and oor
jozy. Hanging over the fire on the .
3rane are two of the oddest looking ket- 0
ties, said to have come from England in whJ
the Oardwell. On the mantel sets the. So1
tinder box, the crane lamp and other * i
ancient articles, above which hang the
aid flintlock musket and powder horn. *n<
A.t the side of the fireplace is a small but m
neat spinning wheel, which, according
bo Mrs. General Cunningham, was Ma
brought to this country in the May ^
Flower. Years ago it was thrown aside ab]
as useless, but when the Centennial s0]
movement began to extend its influence sa
over the country a Miss Tower took hold wh
of it, burnished it up and put it in a con- ?
dition to be worked on by her, much to
the qmusement of the visitors. Along
side the wheel is a chest of drawers, said Be
to be two hundred years old, an asser- oo
tion its appearance fully justifies the mi
truth of. At the other end of the hearth c
hangs a saddle, made one hundred and Sh
seventy years ago, and a sample of the
kind nsed entirely by tlie gentility of
the day. Modern equeatrians who view
it are disposed to think the men who
lived in the days when such a'saddle was
in use must have been a peculiar con
struction. On the other side are num
erous articles of interest. Against the
wall hangs a commission granted to
Lieutenant Colonel Nathan Barrett from
John Hancock, first governor of Mas
sachusetts in 1781. There hangs also a
sword worn by Colonel Barrett in the
memorable Concord fight of April 19,
when he was only a captain. A pewter
platter, said to have been made a cen
tury ago, hangs beside a canteen of the
Revolution and a wooden plate, filled
with marks of time, but which original
ly farmed a portion of a fashionable
young lady's outfit. On an old fash
ioned sideboard is arrayed the china
ware in vogue during the Revolution,
with its peculiarfigured plates and many
colored cups and saucers.. Here is a

Lafayette during his residence in Bos
ton, alongside of which quietly sots a
salt cellar brought to this country in the
May Flower. To mention separately
every article contained in the room
would occupy columns of space; but it
is impossible to leave the relics of the
days when our country was in embryo,
without paying a compliment to the
kitchen. Here are to be found articles
used years ana years ago, which are
again brought into requisition, and from
which visitors who desire it may partake
of a slight repast. To the ladies having
the cabin and its curiosities in charge,
too much credit cannot be given, some
of whom have come many miles to as
sist in making the Exhibition a success.
Each one of the ladies, dressed in cos
tume, represents a character; for in

Growling Oyer the Sifter.
A New York correspondent of an ex
change says: People who have been
sighing for years for metallic currenoy
don't find the boon a blessing. Every
hour ,in the day the paying teller has a
quarrel with his patrons, who demand
stamps and get specie. The belle in the
cars hands up a fifty cent stamp and
looks with dismay at the handfui of coin
returned, which weighs down her pocket
and bursts out th^ side of her imported
portemonnaie. People everywhere are
sighing over the* departure of the much
abused but convenient currenoy of the
war.

Dear ?> ?When about tlx months old I was vaccinat
ed. Tho parties who, .were vaccinated from the same
virus died from the humor. The humor spread over me
to such an extent that I was tolled in brae to prevent me
from scratching my person. The disease finally settled
in my head. I retnained In this oondltlon about twenty
years, trout.led all the time with sores breaking In my
head and discharging corruption from my ear. Atthti
timo a small kernel appeared on my neck, gradually in
creasing In sire until a tumor formed of such Immense
ire I could see it by turning my .eye* downward. AH

without any substantial benefit.
I then went to a. prominent physician In Boston, who,
during his treatment of - 64* months, lanced the tumor
Xt times, which coat me nearly $400. This left ne
ft rough, aggravated nore,without atall diminishing
the size of the tumor, and in ft tlcky, feeble condition.
I consulted another phifllcU'n In Natlok, who, after con
siderable time, succeeded in healing the ton without
reducing the ifato^'At this point 1 commenced to tne
ViarTiifZ. through the earnest pentumon of ? friend.
After I bad taken this medicine about ono week, I expe
rienced wonderful sensation*1 Mr-whole body seAned

and lance. I am now healthy fend utrong, ana able US
work every day. J . ? I:
I will also mention that I have bean an acute sufferer
from Inflammatory rheumatism ever since I can remem
ber, until commencing the Of* off VBGKTDOC, when
almost immediately all rheumatic pains ceased. This
