mnt buying a boiler to make steam. Such a 
farmer must keep a Rood many hands to pro¬ 
duce corn iikI make bay. They do just about 
as much In the Held as is done on places where 
there is no milking to do. The pigs kept to 
drink the whey will force the farmer to make 
good crops of'corn, iiml the manure from the 
pig-sty will help him do it. The development 
of the factory system has, in many oouimea ot 
Northern Ohio and Centra) New York, raised 
land from tin average or $60 to an average of 
$80 per acre. Anot her chess of farmers who do 
well in the factory system arc poor men with 
large families. Such a man can rent, a grass 
farm, and manage a herd of from thirty to tjlty 
cows, yet hire very little, except in hay lug. 
Every person over eight can milk from l ivo to 
ten cows. The factory hikes all, and takes It 
every day. There are no delays, doubts, or 
hazards about, the income. I f the outgo is small, 
the man grows rich; for, except in haying, a 
girl of t welve can be. of almost as much service 
in a tnilk-vtu'd as a man, yet not miss a day at 
i he district, school, and the best, moo and women 
in the country have boon reared under Just such 
pressures. 
Dr. Trimble asked Mr. Curtis the object of 
using anuotto in cheese. He was answered, to 
color it; some people think a rich choose must

pounds of butter, besides supplying the family 
of three persons; fatted two veals, that sold for 
$18; raised one heifer calf that weighed 755 lbs. 
when she was ouo year old, worth $<>0 at out 
market forlieef; fatted l,t51 lbs. of pork—sold 
it for $176.38; raised 320 bushels of corn, 250 
bushels of beets, 75 bushels of carrots, 31 bush¬ 
els of potatoes, and 50 of apples. Sold from rim 
garden and of small fruit $32 worth; mowed 
eight, acres, plowed about four, pastures about 
four; tho balance ia taken up byroads, hand¬

and there was as much feed on hand and as 
many hogs—as he had one year ago.

replied that in two or three generations men

Orgonizatlon and Management of Cheese Fac¬ 
tories. — In answer to an inquiry, Mr. Curtls 
read a paper which, though repeating what lias 
already appeared in our Dairy Department, wo 
puhllsh: 
The factory and the requisite machinery for 
making cheese are usually provided by a port ion 
of tho part leg interested in the enterprise, who 
resolve themselves into a joint stock company, 
under the general corporation law of the State, 
which company, through their directors or ..di¬ 
cers, select a superintendent and cheese maker. 
In a small concern the cheese maker could till 
both places, taking ill the milk, making tho 
cheese, and keeping the accounts. In many 
places a pri vale individual constructs a factory, 
ami, furnishing it, manufactures the cheese, 
disbud or take out a portion—say oue-thirci 
to one-halt— of the fruit buds, in early spring,

The Best Time to Franc. 
“ In what month is it best to prune apple 
trees which are from ten to fifteen yeais old 
from the seed—natural, not grafted; and 
what should bo applied to the wounds made 
in pruning?” So asks a Lennox Co., Out., 
correspondent. If pruning is desirable at 
all in such trees—and it is getting to be a 
fashion to prune as little as possible winter 
pruning is best—any time betoic the sap 
Starts in spring. This, in some measure, re- 
invigorates tbc tree, producing new wood, 
and reduces the proportion of fruit to the 
amount of wood. If the trees are unfruit¬ 
ful, however, we should prune in summer 
say in June.

TRANSPLANTING LARGE TREES. 
Many and various are the reasons lor 
transplanting large tree9. In the one case 
few seem able to comprehend how a small 
tree, purchased at, the nursery, perhaps, but 
two feet in height, will iu a few years cover 
an area of twenty or more loot in diamotei! 
—consequently they are frequently planted 
not, eight feet apart, and ill a few years, 
despite heavy pruning, they present an 
appearance of a perfect brush heap. This 
can, in a measure, be remedied by removing 
a part of the grown trees to oilier por¬ 
tions of the grounds. Many persons also 
desire to remove from the forest to their 
own grounds trees of twenty or more teet in 
height for forming new ornaments, screens 
or shade. Trees of more than four inches 
in diameter should be removed with a ball 
of earth attached. This operation is easily 
and safely performed in two different ways,

the aid ot fertilizers, used liberally, and good 
culture, he has tried to product) one hundred 
bushels of good sound shelled corn per acre, 
but has failed, lie asks the emlnont agricultu¬ 
rists of the Club if any ono of them has pro¬ 
duced, from his own land, or lias known any of 
his neighbors to produce, one hundred bushels 
of anerohantablo shelled corn, weighing liti y-six 
pounds to tho bushel, from an acre—of the 
common kinds of corn, Dutton, King Philip, 
&c. He does not regard statements of the 
amount grown on an acre based on the measure¬ 
ment of a part of the field either fair or reliable. 
Mr. OarpkntbR says ho has produced fully one

Auotlier quite common method is to use 
the rear wheel and axle of alarm wagon. 
Firmly secure on top of the center of axle a 
pole, 8, twelve feet in length, the short end 
projecting from the axle two feet, to which 
is secured a short chain with hooks. Loosen 
the tree as before described, wind about the 
tree, close to the ground, matting or old car¬ 
pet, pass around a small chain a number of 
times, into which catch in the hook, and by

what common sense, for what experience, for
