I can see no advance made in gardening. 
Vegetables that might be grown here in 
offered so many advantages for the location 
of the proposed Association as at Little Falls. 
Geographically it is near the center of the 
State and of the dairying interest. Herki¬ 
mer county is the largest cheese producing 
county in the Slate, and the quality of goods 
manufactured there lias long been esteemed 
as among the best, both in the home and 
foreign markets. 
The weekly dairy market at Little Falls is 
not only the largest and best in the stale, but 
is ihe largest and best organized country 
market, perhaps, in I be world. Here large 
numbers of dairymen, factorymen and deal¬ 
ers in the trade are accustomed to meet 
weekly during the summer, for the transac¬ 
tion of business, and large sales of dairy pro¬ 
duce are made. The fitness, then, of Little 
Falls as the permanent location of the Soci¬ 
ety, appeared to be universally conceded. A 
call, therefore, was drawn up and circulated 
for a meeting at Little Fulls on the 27th ol 
February, for the purpose of organizing such 
Society. The. call was signed by a number 
of leading firms and cheese dealers of New 
York city, and by many prominent dairy¬ 
men and persons interested in the dairy busi¬ 
ness in ot her parts of the State. 
Agreeably to the call, a meeting, largely 
attended, was duly held at, Little Falla on 
the 27ih of February, and Hon. Geo. Har¬ 
din of Lillie Falls was called to the chair. 
W. T. Loomis, Esq., of Lillie Falls, and T. 
D. Curtis of the Utica Herald, were chosen 
Secretaries,

nine or ten months were cxpecled to bring

a steer weighing 1,100 pounds cost nt 6}^ 
cents per pound, $71 50. Such ft steer is 
expected to increase 400 pounds, or to 1,500, 
and when sold at cents, making $56 
profit per head, and as these entile usually 
receive about ten bushels of corn meal each 
in the latter part of Ihe winter, the profit is 
much less than making butler or selling 
milk. Butter making, however, involves so 
much rare and labor upon the female por¬

Just a moment ago, a storekeeper across

As we pass along the river, we see many 
little openings in tlie woods, where someone 
has commenced an orange grove. This is 
the most attractive object of cultivation at 
the present lime, as far as we can see and Fro '" 8pftr ' anb '"'* C ° M ** c ‘ 
learn. Northern people who come here for William Choice writes ;—MY e live near 
health and pleasure, are captivated by the the base of the Blue Bulge Mountains in 
orange groves, their beautiful and delicious northern South Carolina.,—a rolling country, 
fruits and sweet blossoms. Who would not " ith fine valleys and clear streams, bordered 
live in an orange grove ?-and then, they are with rich alluvial bottoms. \V e raise mostly

board go forth to the people price list? and re¬ 
cords of sales, which form the guide and stan¬ 
dard for the people at large. Tl.e largest sellers, 
with their uumei’.HtS transactions, contribute 
largely to est il.lisl. market prices. 
So, gontlon.cn. it Is pi oper and expedient that 
yon should here form a lJiilfytnon’a Association 
and Hoard of Trade. This being the largest and 
besi market in rl.e State for cheese—a market, 
the transactions of which are nor only distrib¬ 
uted through the State, but are telegraphed to 
'Europe, and rl.e foil..wing day are upon tlie 
tables of London dealers, ii is eminently desira¬ 
ble that the bear of facilities should be provided

When all the furnishing—such as bandage, 
salt, at motto uiul boxes—are found by the 
maker, two cents per pouud are charged. 
This covers all expenses. 
IV. The best way to keep the skippers 
from cheese is to use “ elbow grease" freely 
—that is, keep the surface of the cheese 
and the tables or “setters” on which the 
cheese rest, well rubbed daily. Cheese il.ai

about four or five incites. In breaking up 
the sod they usually plow round an entire 
field. In some places they are compelled to 
go up steep hills, and some of these are also 
stony. Plowing a stiff sod under such cir¬ 
cumstances is almost impossible, and it is 
often mere scratching. These portions, how¬ 
ever, are thoroughly harrowed and planted 
with the rest o’l tlie field—these spots are 
usually found to produce the best corn. 
These accidental lessons have taught them 
to experiment farther, and they have grad¬ 
ually diminished the depth of the furrow 
i. '/l, judging by the somewhat convincing 
argument of 110 shelled bushels to the acie, 
they have got just about right. 
The Rotation of C'l-oim 
on tlie Worth Farm is corn, oats, wheat, and 
clover, but the latter is soon crowded out by 
tl.e natural grasses, which not only lake but 
bold possession. AVe saw fields of green 
grass that have not been plowed for thirty 
vents. Such a sod is a mass of grass roots, 
and being turned under but a few inches 
decays in time to terlilize the growingcorn; 
and as the chief part of the feeding roots ol 
tliat crop are near the surface, corn planted 
Upon such ft sod so plowed finds the right 
food in the right place—and 110 shelled 
bushels to the acre says so.
