Dried Fruit for Market.—A young Virginian, 
in whose vicinity small fruits grow in great pro¬ 
fusion wild, asks if it will pay to gather and dry 
them for the city market. Tt is believed by 
members of the Club that it will be found 
profitable to do so. 
'File Manufacture,—Tno.uAS JACRSOW, 105 Mar¬ 
ket St., Philadelphia, Pa., is an Englishman, has 
four sons and four daughters, all of whom are | 
anxious to get out of the city, are willing to | 
work, and want to know of a locality where the 
inaiiuim lure of good drain tile is needed. Mr. 
ORAn 15 says good day for tile is found in the 
vicinity of Wondbridge, N. .1., and the facilities 
for transporting it from that point arc good and 
constantly improving. Ttlo of good quality are 
now made there, Mr. Lyman generously gave 
lust ructions to (Ills tile maker, premising that 
many poor tile are made, and Insisting that I lie 
clay should have iron in il.burn a bright red, 
and furnish n tile that rings. [Why didn’t he 
say that it should contain no lime and give the 
other objections to much tile made?— Eds.

Subduing Doggy Lands, - A Minnesota cor¬ 
respondent, who was ad vised to drain and burn 
over Ills boggy land, in order to subdue it and 
get It in grass, writes lhat it has been repeatedly 
burned over. Ho wants some one who 1ms 
treated similar lands to tell him how to do it.

1 70RTV THOUSAND GASES OF GOODS 
1 were shipped from our house In One tear, to 
umllies, Clubs and merchants. In every part ni the 
country, front Maine to California, amounting in 
value to over 
specifying the kind. Linseed oil barrels are fre¬ 
quently recommended; my father used these 
latter sixty years ago, and I use no other when 1 
can got those that are suitable, as they are the 
most durable, keep the cider better, and can 
usually be bought for less than the cost of new 
eider barrels; yet I have heard of savornl in¬ 
stances in which the elder has been ruined when 
put even In these. Now, I presume that it. tniglil 
he perfectly safe to put in a new barrel that has 
been once filled with pure sperm oil from a frosh 
killed whale and recently emptied, or a umv cask 
once filled with olive, lard, or linseed oil, per¬ 
fectly'pure and recently emptied; but, who can 
be sure of all these precedent conditions? My 
advice, therefore, founded on my own practice, 
is to use only those barrels that havo been once 
filled with pure raw linseed oil by a manufac¬ 
turer of reputation, and that have not stood 
since they havo been emptied long enough to got 
rancid, as in that ease, or when limy have been 
filled with boiloa or Impure oils, they are unfit, 
and should not. be used for cider.” 
Remedy for llol* in Horses. — Mr. KetCUUM, 
Minooku, III., says his cure for bots is a common 
tabloapoonful of salerrtlUS dissolved in a drench¬ 
ing bottle full of water. 
Castor Deans F \ NN Y A. PENTOGK, Wisconsin, 
asks if Castor Beans will thrive lu Wisconsin. 
There was no reply by the Club, but the UUHAI. 
says. No, not as a profitable crop. 
A Wisconsin Bachelor. John Edwards, Ro- 
sendale, Wis., who is about forty years old, has 
been a farmer many years, is acquainted with 
French, Latin, Greek, &c., has several thousands 
of dollars in Government bonds, like# farming 
and study, but wants to go West, asks the Club 
to toll him what t<> do. He is advised by the 
Commander of the Club to Joiu Mr. Muekkb In 
his proposed colonization scheme, which he thus 
defines: 
l propose to unite with proper persons in the es¬ 
tablishment of a colony In 1 oiorauu Territory. 
A locution which 1 have seen is well watered with 
streuma iiiid springs, there are beuuliful pine groves, 
the soli is rich, the Climate is healthful, grass will 
keep stock the year round, coal and Hone are plenti¬ 
ful, and a well-traveled rend runs through the prop¬ 
erty. The bind is either ximjeet to entry under Hie 
Homestead Luv, or o hits not yet been brought into 
market, but it oan bo settled upon without, other cost 
limn #1* for lOOncre*. Ill addition, the Rooky Moun¬ 
tain scenery is thu grandest and the most enchanting 
in America. I have never seen a place which pre¬ 
sents so many advantages and opportunities. 
Thu person* with whom I would he willing to asso¬ 
ciate must be temperance men. and ambitious to es¬ 
tablish good society, and among ns many astlfty, ten 
should nave as much icsSItMKWeuch,or twenty, $5,000 
each, while others may haveG'iOO to$l,000atid upward. 
For many to go so far without means, can only result 
In dl-aster. After u time, poorer people can bo re¬ 
ceived and have u chance. 
My own plan would bo to make the Settlement al¬ 
most wholly in a village, and to divide the land into 
lots of ten acres, and to dividu these Into night lots 
for building purposes, and them to apportion to oueli 
family from forty to eighty, even one hundred and 
sixty acres, adjoining the village. Northampton, 
Massachusetts, and several oilier New England 
towns and villages were settled lit this manner, but 
some improvements ure suggested. Since some out¬ 
lying tracts Will bo mure desirable than others, a 
preference may bo scoured by selling them at auc¬ 
tion, and tha proceeds of such appropriated to the 
use of the colony: and ull tha lot* of tDo village 
should be sold, thut fund* may be obtained for muit- 
ing improvements for the common good —such as 
thu building of a church, a town ball, a school-house 
and for llie establishment of a library, by which 
means the lots will ins Worth live or ten times more 
than they cost: and one uf the very first public In¬ 
stitutions should ho a first clots school, in which not 
only common hut the higher brunches should bo 
taught, including nniiic. Tho town Of Lincoln, thu 
capital of Nebraska, adopted ibis plan on a large 
scale, and several hundred thousand dollars have al¬ 
ready boon obtained. 
Sean: of the advantages Of seltlliig In a village will 
be: easy access to sohuob, arid to public places, meet¬ 
ing*, lectures, and the like, mol so, dor you a be huflut 
onc-e. In planting, in fruit growing, ailtl in improv¬ 
ing homes generally, the skill ana experience ot n. 
few will be common to till, and much greater progiv , 
cun be made than where each live- isolated. It seems 
to me that a laundry and bakery could bn established, 
and the washing and halting could bn dona lor all the 
community; but other household work should be 
done by tho families. In all this, I ho separata house¬ 
hold. and the ownership or property, should be with¬ 
out change; and I only propose that, if there ure any 
advantages In co-operation, they could he. secured bv 
a colony. Cheap rates of passage anil freight could 
be secured, while many things, which nil will want in 
the commencement, can be bought »t wholesale. 
There are soma other advantage* which I think such 
a lawn will poises*, and they are Important; bin m 
this announcement 1 do not think proper to men¬ 
tion them, and, besides, there are, of course, disad¬ 
vantages. 
Fanners will be wanted, nurserymen, florist.*., and 
almost all kinds of iBOOhurnc-i, a* wall ascapit.ali .es 
to use the coal and water-power m running much ine- 
ry. Inasmuch as million* of acres of excellent grass 
arc tn the vicinity, and which for years will lie open, 
stock can bo kept by cacti family, ami at a small ex¬ 
pense it cun ho cured for by herdsman employed bv 
the people. Tho protit of stock growing can ho con¬ 
sidered certafii, for the locality Is not a* far from tho 
Missouri River a? Texas, whence Immense numbers 
of cuttle arc driven. Busidcs, railroads are nearly 
completed, and o railroad is almost certain to pus- 
through the land 1 refer to. The establishment ol a 
colony would hasten the duv. 
After the colony -.hall be organized, it will be prop¬ 
er to appoint u committee of good men to visit the 
country and fix on the location, for there arc other 
places, and a choice I- to bo made. 
The first settlers mint of course be pioneer*; for 
houses, mill* and mechanic shops are to be built, 
that families may come with few privations, raid us 
lung as six months will be requited. 
Whatever professions and occupations enter Into 
tho formation Of an intelligent, educated and thrifty 
community ainmid be cm braced by this colony; and 
it should ho the object to exhibit all that is best ui 
modern civliratiion. 
In particular should moral and religious sentiments 
prevail; for without these qualities man is nothing. 
At f he same tune tolerance and llherallt f should also 
prevail. One thing more is equally important. Hup 
piness, wealth, and the glory ot a State, spring from 
the family, and It should bean aim and a high am¬ 
bition to preserve the family pure in ull it, relations, 
and to labor with the best effnrts lifeaud strength 
can give to huikc tho home comfortable, t , beautify 
and to adorn '5, and to supply it with whatever will 
make it attractive and loved. 
Thia is in the vicinity of the mining region, which 
is destined to bo developed more and more t.,r years 
to Como; and. beside* stiver and gold, there are all 
other kinds of metals; and the market f<n everv kind 
of farm product is a* good os New York—perhaps 
better, it is a lyeldedly healthful region; the atr is 
remarkably pure, summer Is pleasant, the winter is 
mild, with little snow, and agues arc unknown. Al¬ 
ready consumptives are going thither for their 
health,and tourists and visitors will find great attrac¬ 
tions .during the summer. Mineral springs are near, 
and perhaps on the locality I have referred to. Deer,

counties. Thn milk is kept in spring houses ol. 
a temperature of 53* to . I have never heard 
that it took longer to churn erenm lieenuso it is 
sweet. Mr. Wm inky said experiments were 
made many years ago in the dairy districts of 
England in churning the milk, which resulted in 
obtaining five per cent, more of -butter than 
when cream only was churned. It was also 
found that by allowing the milk lo sour the 
Churning process was hastened. A distinguished 
Professor present announced Hint lie had tried 
the wonderful recipe for making a pound of 
butter from a quart of milk, and found that the 
ingredient* used were alum and borax, by the 
use of which all tho butter, and cheese, too, in 
the milk, was precipitated. lie did not regard
