8em.ixo Fabm Produce.???Tike two package*
of almoftt any kind of farm produce, of the
tamo kind and quality, and hare one put up
and tErred for aale in a neat package, done up
in the moat presentable condition, and the
oilier put up without care in any ill-looking
package, and the*nice*looking one-will sell
not only the quickest, but will bring from tea
to twenty-five per cent more.
Every man, whether fie he a city commission
merchant, a country storekeeper or a fanner,
who list tried to sell farm produce, knows this
to be the fact} yet thrcc-fourtbs of our farm
products are sent to market in a very poor
condition to realise good prices. Fruit rnen
???re generally moro careful than any other
class, taken aa a whole, yet some of them arc
very careless. It is not putting the best ou
top that make* an article soil well, but a uni
form quality all through a package is what
brings the beat price*, provided it is put up
neatly nnd is in good condition.
Eggs ore inoro usually sent to tho city in
caeca mudo especially for their use; but the
termer, when ho talus the eggs'lo town, picks
them in bran, sawdust or oats. If they aro
dirty no ellort ia made to clean them off???they
are all eggs, clean or dir tv. The majority of
farmers' wiv*s take their butter to market iu
large rolls, without any particular size or
shape. Whatever is made at one churning la
rolhd up into one lump, and the next into
another lump.
The country merchant dumps all that comas
into the mine box and ships it to the city,
where it ia sold m country butter, at a very
low price. When sold at retail the purchaser
looks ever the butter nnd almost invariably
picks out the neatest-looking roll*, leaving the
balance. Many of our housekeepers grumblo
because country butter is so low, wneu tho
principal part of the fault is their own. Tako
???oiiie pains to send your butter to town in
neat, clean shape. Jf you have not got a
stomp, purchase one. Make it a rule to hava
all that you send look neat and attractive.
You will soon hear: Mrs. A. makes nico but
ter; 1 would rather pay five conts more a
pound for her butter thin any one olio's, be
cause it always looks so clean and nice. The
merchant is sure to know this, and will be
willing to pay you accordingly. You may
think this a little matter, but it is a fact, as a
very little inquiry will convince you.
Every farmer's wife kuowi that it often
happens that country stores get moro butter
than tiny want, yet if good butter is put up
In the right condition they will olleu purchase
yours, when under other circumstances they
would refuse to buy at all. Many a farmor in
selling potatoes ha* sullercd loss by mixing
large and small together; he got a low price
by not taking a little earn when sorting. These
smell potato**, when sold by measure, amount
to but little, as they only fill up tho spaoes
between Hie large ones, and they can lar hot
ter bo led to stock thon be allowed to damage
the whole by being sold without proper aort-
Ing. The same may be said of the larger pro
portion of fruit and vegetables; the small
specimens cause the large ones to sell at a low
price.
Give this matter a trial; show tho one you
???re selling to that what you have is all of the
best quality, and is uniform throughout???
Whether it be potatoes, apples, cubbago or
other farm produce. Don???t bo foolish enough
to imagine you ran make anything bv putting
tho best on tho top of the barrel. This may
do once, but it is sure to react ujm>ii you, and
cause morn loss than gain. Taka rcaaonablo
pains to have everything that you send to
market iu the best condition possible. When
ever you can, mark your name upon tho pack
age, nnd you will be surprised how quick pur-
chuM-rs will recognise your goods. It will
certoiuly prove profitable If reasonable care
is taken.???N. J. Bhcpherd, in Prairie Farmer.
Imi'Rovk the Cattle.???It is not by chance
that the Jersey excel* ns* butter cows, tho Itol-
sli iiis iu the production of milk, and tho
Fbrrtborni, Hereford* uml Follod-Angus in
production of beef. They have bcon bred for
these distinct objects through generations till
tht-ir characteristics httvo become so fixed that
the nu.les aro able to impart them to their
progeny In a large degree when cressod with
the natives. Tlils being tho oaso and these
Improved breeds being ready at hand it is fol
ly for the farmer to neglect to avail himself of
thrin, claiming thut iu time he or his descen
dants could produce just ns good and valuable
breeds a* they. It ho wanta a better dairy ho
will grade un with Jerseys, or it his aim ia
milk, either lor market or choese, with ltd-
ulema. The value of such crosses It forcibly

winter by C. It. Ikoch, of Whitewater, \Vi??.
cousin; which is as follows! ???8. N. Wright,
of Elgin, 111,, reports that (Voin his hord of
twenty *??evrn grade Holstein cows ho received
IV4.7I per bead fin 1H83), and yet the average
proceeds from the dairies of our state (Wiscon
sin) will not much exceed on o-third of tho
amount." Conceded that iu easo of Mr.
???Wright he feeds better than tho average dairy
man (though this is not shown), ami making
nil due allowance for tho cost of such extra
feeding, there yet remains a large margin of
excess of receipts over those of the averago
dairyman which ran only be credited to the
Holstein blood in bis herd. Some of tho best
butter records ol herds that have come under
our notice have been of grade Jerseys, not
pure bloods. Tbe extra cost to the 'farmer
who raises a grade is only the value of the ser
vice of the bull, not to exceed five dollars.
While making all due allowances, tbe product
of Mr. Wright's herd in 1883 it not less than
|2&prr cow iu excess of that realised bw aver-
age dairymen from his native cows, such il-
luslrcti. n* might be multiplied of the benefita
fretn the infusion of improved blood ??? in dairy
Surds. The same is true in beef auimals. The
???? adi- abort horn, Hereford or Polled Angus
excel* tbe native iu weight at a giveu ago and
on a given nmouut of food. Not only this, but
he furnhhes, when brought to the block, ???
larger weight of choice cuts in proportion to
carcass, bringing a higher price. It is by no
means necessary that every dairyiuau or stock
grower and feeder should go cxteusivly into
tboioughbird stock, but ho eau aud should
avail himself of the use of thoroughbred inalea
to improve the quality of his herds either for
the dairy or the butcher. The dairyman es
pecially should breed hia best eowa to
thoroughbred bulls of whichever breed he pre
fers. and raise his heifer calves.
IlrntABUi VsuiTtRM or l???a**.???This section
Is where thousands of bushels of peas are
raised for sevdmen. There are several aeed
establishments located in prominent villages
in this county. There was #7*0,000 worth of
???erd peas raised here last season. All this
???ection of country near lake Ontario is con
sidered adapted to peas. The soil, climate,
etc., with good culture, brings good crops and
handkome seed, quite froe from bugs. Tho
seedsmen when they receive,! tho peas from
farmers used to put camphor gum iu tho bags
??f peas in order to guard against and kill all
bugs which might be in tbe process of hatch
ing out. ai d thereby spoil the seed. This
method t*f killing bugs being very costly a new
plan has been tried which proves a cheaper
???nd better way. They have what is called a
bug bouse, a small building air tight. After
putting in the pt??* a certain kind of gas ia pul
iu and circulated which smothers the bug* be

does not injure the peas in the least. Seed

riant a row each week or ten day* until the
season runs out, and a continual supply may
ho had all tho summer.
Storikg Fecit.???This is now a daily opera
tion in the cnee of those who possess Urge
fruit gardens or good orchards, writes a corre
???notdent of The Garden. Apples and pears,
the main fruits requiring storing, should
never he gathered on any account when wet.
In wet seasons, in which there was hardly a
c??iy day froai week's end to weak's end, we
havo gathered them wet and allowed them to
dry in the. house, but this prnctico ii very ob
jectionable, as it is a long time before they
assume the appearance of dry gathored fruits,
and tho damp emitted in drying may moisten
I hr house in which they are placed to such an
extent that it will prove a source of trouble
throughout the whole winter. Apples and
pears to keep well and be froe from mildew
must Le kept dry. Select, then, dry days tor
fruit gathering, nnd make tbe most of Buck
weather. No fruit should ever ho gathered
until it ports freely from tho tree where tho
footstalk joints the wood. Tako an apple in
the hand, press it very gently toward on side,
and if it breaks off freely at the part just
named the crop is ready for gathering. This
may ho taken for a guido as regards the in-
gathering of pears, too. Some fruits, indeed,
clearly indicate by their appearanco whon
they may be gathered, but others???especially
the high-colored ones???are often deceptive,,
and it is best to test them all In the way allud
ed to. Valuablfe sorts and those just utmost
ripe should be looked over very frequently
just now, when they are ready to drop off the
trees with the slightest oscillation; a windy
day or night will bring them down in show
ers, briiLing and spotting them; they should
therefore bo gathered and stored beforo this
occurs. Lnto kinds and unripe ones will hear
a great deal of shaking about before they drop,
and, relying on this, it is mistake to gather
them in an unripe state. Good fruit can not
be too carefully handled. To shako them
down and then collect them is bad practice.
The trees may be tall and tho upper parts not
easily reached, but this should never bo a-rea
son for rough handling. Ladders should be
used, and there should be no throwing the
fruit into baskets; en the contrary, all sliotiM
be put gently into them with the hand. When
the basket is full, sever turn the contents out
iu running order, but -lift each fruit out and
put it down again with the utmost care. This
is tho only way in which to keep fruit good
and perfect.
How to Csss For Colts.???In ordor to winter
B colt well sud have him come out in tho
spring a showy, sturdy animal, particular at
tention must bo paid to his growth during tho
first summer ami autumn. If tho maro'a milk
is sufficient to keep the colt in good flesh and
thriving steadily, it is best to resort at once to
cow's milk. Skimmed milk answers vory well
for this purposo, especially if a little ilax sood
jelly oil or cotton seed meal is mixed with it.
A neaped tnblcspoonful night and morning is
enough to begin with, whon tho colt is a month
old???this can be gradually increased lo a pint
per day by tho tfino tho colt is six months old,
or double this if the colt is of tho largo farm
or cart horse breed. Oats may also bs given
as soon as they can bo eaten. Begin with a
half pint night ami morning ami gradually
increase, according to the age and size of the
animal, to four quarts per day. These, to
gether with tho meal above, should bo sup
plemented with a couple of quarts of wheat
oruu night aud morning. Tho latter is excel
lent to prevent worms aud help to keep tho
bowels in good condition.
Colts should not be |H>rmilted lo stand on a
plank, cement, paved or uuv hard floor tho
first year, as these aro liable to injuriously
??fleet tho feet and legs. Unless tho yard
where the colts run in tho wiuter has a sandy
or fine, dry, gravelly soil, it should be well
littered, so as to keep tlielr feet dry. Mud or
soft, wetish ground is ant to make teuder
hoofs, *no matter how well bred tho colt may
be. The reason why the horses in onn district
crow up superior to those of another in hoif,
bone, muscle and action, is becauso it has a
dry limestone or sileOeous soil. Whon the
walk season cornea in tho liot days of summer,
do not let the roll run with its dam from
moiling until night; and whon the mare comes
home trom her work heated, allow her to cool
ot! before suckling tho colt,or milk outa little
with your hand, as her over heated milk is
liubie to give the colt diarrhoea. A. II. II.

An Indiana dairyman covers the cow with a
horse blanket or sheet while milking, thus
preventing the annoyance ot flics and adding

The finest hams grown on this continent are

hogs are thus at liberty they do not grow as

more solid.
Unruly stock is almostalways hungry stock,
and hungry, half-starved animals are justified
in jumping fences to find a moal. It is not

SOME FARM FACTS,
Maxim nr.xT or lion*,???In reply t*> your in
quiry about hogs, 1 will venture to offer a sug
gestion i
The only safe way in manage u lot of hogs is
to keep off disease. Don't wait (or cholera ami
tlien trust to drugs. Keep your hogs away
from muddy feed lots; keep them out of wut
beds and don't let them nest or pile up iu beds
of oust. There is no hog that
??????Doe* not know his own, hi* native bed,???
and oi.o of tlio best things wo farmers can do,
is to destroy the ???hog bed??? very nfion. Change
your hog* form one lot to anoth-r ns often a*
possible. If there are symptoms of disease, or
loss of appetite, coughing, etc., ho sure to
change your hogs even though you put them
in your yard or garden. Now il there is no
improvement, stop your hogs from the water
thirty-six hours, and at once reduce your feed
to one-fourth the usual ullowance: Then, your
hega being both thirsty and hungry, give
???very cue hundred hogs ten pounds of sulphur,
three pounds of coiterss, (pulverised), three
pounds of 8panith brown, one quart of salt,
four ounces of black antimony, seventy-five
pounds of ship stuff, one tablespoonful of con
centrated lve thoroughly dissolved.
Make a barrel full of slop, stir it well, and
let your hogs to it. It is well to divide the
bogs into two or three gangs and give them
this slop separately so that all get it. After
this, put your hogs in a clean pasture with
pure water. Change diet frequently aud keep
before them a trough of the above mixture,
omitting lye, antimony and ship stuff. In tho
place of these put two or three bushels of ashes
and one-half bushel of salt instead of a quart.
Take pour begs that cough, out of the drove
and keep them away. In a week kill all that
have not improved. The reet will live and do
welt.
