While on a visit to Ohio last /vinter I promised through a letter x> the club some notes on the subject of stock and its management. After having prepared the article I was either too modest or too proud to produce it at the next club when it was not asked for; but, having since somewhat overcome those feelings, I now' offer you a brief and hurried account of a visit to Judge Fullerton's farm in Fairfax Co., Va. While on a visit to a friend at that place he kindly showed me this farm, among other objects of interest. It lies about six miles west of the court-house; you upproach it through a very poor country, mainly of pines. After crossing a small creek and ascending a hill it all burst out before you, a beautiful oasis in the desert, and the contrast is most striking. I was informed by a gentleman who seemed familiar with Virginia lands that it was probably some of the poorest land in the State, certainly in Fairfax Co. When Judge F. made the purchase of 4UU acres, ne was ;om 1 by land agents that he was getting I the poorest land in the State "That, gentlemen," he replied, "is just what I want; and I want tr prove that there ia no tillable tone in Virginia that cannot be mad< productive." I was disappointed not to see his manager, who coulc have told me the system they pur sued. I observed that much of tin corn land was sown in clover at tin last working of corn, the clove: looking very fine and vigorous I The corn-slalks indicated an unu sual growth?20 barrels claimet ?and the old sod I never saw ex ceiled ; but the improvement is no so hard to understand, when yoi know he has a bone-mill on hi farm, supplying all of that articlneeded, with immense quantities o salt, shipped from New York. Adde< to these is the manure from 9< cattle, a large number of hogs am horses necessary to conduct th farm. No small grain is sown ; cori and grass exclusively, save patche of winter oats, rye and fodder This largo number of stock is soiic< almost entirely: no cross fencing too outside fence being mainly o boards. There are two large barns each about 100 foot long, one fo hay and the other for cattle, wit] commodious apartments in th< second story ot the cattlc-barn fo feed of different kinds. At thi lower extremity of the barn-vari was a fine spring, supplying wate for the stock, and a dairy nor.r bv 1 tit v? _.k_ *.,1,1 ; M e saw a ume uuy nuu ivm u that bis father was in the field ; long way off, and would not be ii until night ] we inquire 1 if be ha< an older brother who could tell u ; about tin* cattle ; be said bis brothc, was in tbe barn. In passing thmug) | the yard wo saw about 50 pun Holstein cows ; they bad just beei | fed with a chop of cut*-fodder am meal, milked and turned out to wa ter. We found the stable dividei in this wise : two long rows of stall on one side, with stanchions. Tin cattle faced each other, with at aisle between just wide enough t< allow the cattle to eat clean across At one end is a funnel, dowp whicl ! the bay is thrown, and evenlt j scattered along the aisle. Getting impatient to make tbe desirer inquiries I looked up the funny! where tbe bay was then being tbrowt down, to speak to the young man but he adroitly kept out of mj sight, only being able to seo tin fork. My attention being attracted by the cattle eoniing in, a <1amse of sixteen glide'! down with fork ir hand, which fully explained tht shyness of the supposed boy in tin funnel. The girl moved about with wonderful alacrity, scattering tit hay fore and aft; 1 remarked to mv friend that I believed she would bay more cattle than two colored men left to their usual gait. After finishing her work, she, with hoi brother, a lad of fifteen years, gave us valuable information in regard to this fine herd. They are rnostlj pure Holsteiu, with a few gardeshalf perhaps imported, very large; and one lie was ottered a thousand dollars for when she landed at New York. Wc were shown one thai gave 10 gallons of milk per day. 1 inquired whether a heifer calf could be obtained; they said the Judge declared that until he had increased bis herd to 150 he would not part with a female to the best friend in the world. The bulls he sold for S100. One word as to the appear* ance of these cattle, and I will not tax your time farther: Tliey arc tall and lengthy, I should judg^ re* quiring liberal feeding, pure bluck and white, sotneiimcs the one color predominating and then the other, and often the colors equally divided, none other being genuine.?Amcri' can Farmer. Milk Cows. Cows give the most and richest milk, with less quantity of food, when from throe to fivo j*ears old. After the age of seven to eight the eduction in quantity and quality >f product, taken in connection with the incroascd amount of food leccssary, is such that a large proportion of the old cows do not rield enough to pay their keeping, t is a question of vital importance o or cry dsirym?> to kntfw vrirtth IMMBnmMBMBnHMMHHMMBMHMaf of his herd pays a profit and which entails a loss. Every farmer should in some simple way test the milk, cream and butter frou; each of his cows, beside- weighing the food consumed by each animal for one week, and profit by ihe result. The information will be worth all it costs, and it will often be found that one or two good cows are producing the profits and contributing to the support of other inferior animals. Land Deficient in Lime. . AVhcre land is deficient in iimc, then lime should he applied to if; it is better to apply it frequently, say once in every four or five years, and in moderate doses, say forty to fifty bushels to the acre; it should be applied to the surface and not ploughed under immediately, as it has a natural tendency to sink rapidly in the soil, and as it acts more efficiently when mixed with the soil near the surface, where the ; air enn reach it. Stiff clay soils require larger doses than light or ( sandy soils; and it will do little or no ' good upon low, wet, undrained > lands.?Farm Journal. 5 Feed your laud before it gets | poor.
