MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
tho best and simplest kind of seed drill for 
sowing carrot, turnip and rutabaga seeds, 
and tho cost of such machine. If those 
who advertise agricultural implements for 
salo would state tho prices it would be an 
advantage to them and farmers too, for 
then, as I have said beforo, we could calcu¬ 
late whether wo can afford to buy them. 
Please give us the desired information 
through your paper. 
By tho way, I will just say wo have form¬ 
ed a Town Agricultural Society or Associa¬ 
tion, in this town, and although wo have not 
dono much this winter, yot I think by the 
spirit which is manifested, the coming sum¬ 
mer will show a different state of things in 
this town as regards tho subject of agricul¬ 
ture. Wo oxpect to hold a fair or exhibi¬ 
tion next fall to show to tho Avorld around 
what we have been about. I am not used 
to writing much myself, but by some means 
you shall bo informed of our success il it 
would bo acceptable. Tho Rural is circula¬ 
ting pretty freely, I see, in this town, and I 
think it is doing groat good among us. Suc¬ 
cess to it and you.— L. A. Johnson, Fenner, 
Madison Co., JY. Y. 
Remarks. —Burrall’s Corn Sheller, and 
the Clinton and Yankee Corn Shelters, have 
been for several years beforo tho public, and 
are each found good articles. They can bo 
obtained at most Agricultural warehouses 
hero and elsewhere. Prico from $10 to $ 12 . 
As to Seed Drills, wo think Mr. J. will find 
just what he wants in tho one figured and 
described below : 
This cut represents an improved hand 
drill, adapted to sowing carrot, ruta baga, 
beet, onion, and other small seeds in drills, 
with regularity and without regard to their 
weight or shape. Tho seeds are forced out 
by means of a circular brush which revolves 
against a tin plate, inserted in the bottom 
of tho hopper, with a hole suited to the size 
of tho seed. Each drill is provided with a 
series of these plates, for seed of different 
sizes and for regulating the quantity sown. 
It is light, simple and durable, and every one 
who has uso for such a machine will find it 
valuable. Manufactured and sold by E. D. 
Hallock, 50 State st., Rochester. Price $5. 
SIJGAIi MAKING. 
Many farmers are turning their attention 
to making a supply of sugar for family uso. 
In a new country where wood is of little 
value, and farmers have moro time to de- 
voto to the labor, it is profitable to make 
maple sugar for home consumption, and 
may be so, to some extent, as an article of 
merchandize. Vermont has been for years 
noted for tho largo amount of maple sugar 
marketed by her farmers. Other States 
are but littlo behind. At tho present price 
of cane sugar, and tho price at which wood 
may bo sold in all parts of Western Now 
York, wo have doubts about sugar making 
being a very profitable business. It requires 
quite an outlay for kettles, buckets and 
other implements, which if taken into ac¬ 
count, with tho time consumed, would make 
maple sugar moro expensive than to pur¬ 
chase tho year’s supply from tho grocer.— 
Of this, farmers will bo best judges, and as 
manv of them will go into the business, wo 
will at all events offer them a few facts con¬ 
cerning its manufacture. 
It may be unnecessary to say that atten¬ 
tion to cleanliness is indispensablo. Beforo 
commencing, buckets, tubs, and other uten¬ 
sils should be thoroughly scalded. Sap is 
often soured by using old spiles, in which 
tho sour sap of tho late run tho previous 
spring remains. Cut tho trees as little as 
possible. A threo-quarter or inch auger is 
large enough. Sap should bo gathered as 
fast as it runs, and boiled with tho least 
possible delay. Two barrels on a sled with 
a tunnel made of a bucket, will be found 
convenient for gathering tho sap, as it can 
bo driven to nearly overy tree in tho bush. 
Kettles sot in an arch answer a good pur¬ 
pose, but tho better utensil is an evaporator 
made of sheets of Russia iron. A good 
size is two sheets riveted together length¬ 
wise, with one riveted across the end, the 
sides to bo turned up six or seven inches.— 
Around tho sides place a wooden frame with 
handles, to facilitate its being moved when 
necessary. Set this on an arch so the fire 
passes under the bottom, only, which prevents 
all danger of burning. 
Tho sap may be boiled to the consistence 
of thin molasses, when it should be strained 
through a thick cotton, or what is better, a 
clean white flannel strainer, and left to set¬ 
tle. A brass kettle is tho best in which to 
boil it to sugar. For cleansing or clarify¬ 
ing, use a pint of milk, the white of one or 
two eggs, and half a teaspoonful of salera- 
tus well stirred into syrup, is enough for 20 
to 25 pounds. Boil over a slow fire, skim¬ 
ming off all tho scum that comes to the sur¬ 
face, until by taking a little and dropping 
it from a spoon or knife, it will string down 
like fine hair, an inch long. It will then be 
cooked enough to grain. While cooling, it 
should bo stirred occasionally to prevent its 
becoming waxy. The more it is stirred the 
finer will be the grain. It may bo caked in 
pans or boxes, or stirred until it is dry 
enough to put in the tub. A sugar tub 
should have a false bottom some inches 
above tho real one, perforated with holes to 
allow tho sugar to drain. Maple molasses 
is one of the luxuries of a country life in 
sugar season, and its use may be continued 
through tho year, if enough is made, not 
too thick. We hopo some of our readers 
will make an abundant supply of the best, 
and allow us tho pleasure of judging of its 
quality.

Most farmers, as we know by frequent 
inquiry, have littlo notion of tho cost of 
their crops, and yet what is more vital to 
their prosperity ! And how easily is this 
knowledge obtained, by simply keeping a 
diary of daily labor and expenditure. A 
small blank book costing a shilling or quar¬ 
ter of a dollar, or few sheets of paper stitched 
together, and the provision is made. Now

Ayrshire Cattle. 
The following is from the February num¬ 
ber of the Wool Grower and Stock Register. 
It constitutes No. 4 of a series of interest¬ 
ing articles on “ Improved Breeds of Cattlo.” 
Tiik Ayrshires are the subject of a valuable 
Essay from the pen of Sanford Howard, Esq., in 
the recently published Transactions of the N. Y. 
State Ag. Society for 1851. The subject is so 
ably treated in this paper, that we give an abstract 
of it, in preference to attempting an original arti¬ 
cle. Mr. H. ranks among the best judges of stock 
in this country, and perhaps no writer is more 
thoroughly qualified to discuss the merits of tho 
various improved breeds of cattle. Having be¬ 
stowed much time and attention upon the subject, 
he is very properly considered good authority in 
all matters pertaining to Cattle, Horses, Sheep and 
Swine. Hence, with his paper before us, we can 
scarcely fail of producing an interesting number 
on Ayrshires, though only a compilation. 
But to the subject direct. Mr. H. commences 
his Essay as follows: 
“ Considering the importance of the dairy in 
this country, it is a matter of surprise, that so 
little attention is paid to the character of the stock 
devoted to this object. According to the statistical 
returns of New York, for the year 1845, the whole 
number of milch cows in tho State, was 999,490. 
The total produce of butter is stated at 79,501,- 
7331 ^ pounds, and the produce of cheese, 36,744,- 
976 pounds—only equal to 79 V> pounds of butter, 
and 36 pounds of cheese to each cow. The great¬ 
est quantity of butter per cow, returned from any
