Mr. Buttertield believed that orchards
are a source of profit, that they do "oi
receive the care, in many cases, they de
serve, anil that the area should be ex·
tended in this branch of farming.
Dr. Reynolds iuily endorsed Mr. B.*s
remark*, aud advised, where natural
shelter does not exist, to plant heavy
hedges of forest trees, mostly evergreens,
as a protection against high winds, and
thus turni-h homes tor the farmer's
friends, the birds, believing they would
destroy many ot the enemies «t the tree
aud iu huU. Shield use muck and com
post manure in orchard culture. Would
graft in the nursery after the second yeur,
by splice grafting, having th· cion the
same size of the stock, having observed
that in this method the union was so com
plete as to be hardly discernable one
year after.
L. Reynolds spoke of the profit in rais
ing apples tor the market. Referred to
orchards in the town of Jay, one of which
had yielded an average of $600 tor some
years. Did not fear glutting the market
with winter iruit ; that there was a grow
ing demand iu apples loi shipping, aud
that Maine apples stood A Ne. 1 in point
of beauty, firmness and flavor. Would
think it sate to have ten acre» in orchards,
and be<»t to piav lice what we think is the
right; not have our farming all on pa·
per; be doe»3 ol the work as well as
teacher* of the word.
Maj. L. Adam? bore testimony in favor
of Maine apples; that it i* a lact they are
rated with the best in Boston market;
some dealer.- there, however, complain
that some lots are not as well sorted as
they should be; this fact makes it neces
sary that more care be used by home
packers and the producers at Ia»ge The

care so a* to have the top evenly balanc

and lop ihtm with .me βΜφββΙ ; let each
farmer raise hi·* own trees trom the seed.
Bv invitation, Mr. Tainter occupied
some time in useful and interesting re·
marks, showing that he was tamiliar
with the subject, sayi)g that we are
sending Uh> much money to Xew York
lor trees, that there ought to l»e enough

warranted a little deviation from this
rule; !>elie\eJ there are two species ol
the borer family, one working at the loot
ot the tree, the other higher up on the
truiiN and among the limbs, in warring
up<>n the<e pests it must be waged to
"the knife." Note: farmers should bet
ter acquaint themselves» with this enemy
to the apple-tree and carry knife and
brand to the enemy's camp. Mr. Γ. ar·

Mr. Furbish had no remous for dissent
in» from the views of other shakers;
had not the experience ot some of his
town-nun; luiljr believed that the busi
ness de>er*ed tuore efl'm and could be
saie'.y extended. 11i^ hobby, however,
is sheep and sweet corn.
Mr Hatch congratulated Ihe younger
members ot the C ub in that we have
such able teacher.·», men oi experience
am! ability ; considering lh;it this branch
of iudu-trj i·. a lifelong study, it i·. im
portant that we commente right in this,
as well a- in ail other business: deeming
it essential that the whole ot the roots be
preserved, c:tp ioot and rootlets; adv Ued |
planting in snoje cheap box or basket oi j
sufficient size to allow ι he roots room for
a yea; or more; then plant the whole to
gether in the p'ace designed tor the tree,
having the c;i>e in which the young tree
is growiug of such character that the
roots w ill easily lind way out or through ;
rear your tree* with very short trunks,
gralt in the limb; alter the tree ha*
borne; in this way uew and choice kinds j
may be tound; fully believed that far- i

a view to the market, but should have ι

Butter f'tictorie/t.
Mr. O. S. Bli.-s, furnishes the Country
tient Urn an with an account ot a recent
visit to the butter factories in Franklin
coui ty, X. \ a section in which many
dairymen irom Ae vicinity of St Albans,
Yt., have located and established facto
ries ill which the Jewell Milk Pans are |
used :
The iactory buildings are all ot a better^
class than the average chee-e factories,
and do not ct-t over halt' as much for the
same number o. cow s, and there is even
inore difference in «:oit ot fixtures and ex
pense for labor.
The L'uion Factory iu Baugor was the
first visited by us. This was not fully
supplied with water the past seasou, and
reports as iho average amount of milk to
make a pound of butter, 24.48 pounds,
th ni^h ihev made during a portion of the
season, a pound from 21 1-2 pounds of
milk, which, as the product of ordinary
cow· in ordinary to poor pastures, raaj
be set down as a very fair showing. The
aggregate ol butter made at this factory
was 9,522 pounds, which was sold at the
factory for thirty cents a pound.
The Cold spring factory of Malon·
made a pound of butter from 23 31 pounds
of milk. Amount made, 19,776 pounds;
t»ales to August 1st, at an average of 29
2-3 cents a pound—(or the remainder of
the season at 34 1-9 cents per puund, at
the factory.
The Kceler Factory, Malone, made a
pound ol butter from 20 5-7 pounds of
milk. Amount made, 15,012 pounds,
which was sold at the factory at 31 cents
α pound.
The Berry Factory, Malone, made a
pouud of butter from 25.1 pounds of milk
which they sold at 31 1-4 cents a pound
at the factory. Like the Union Factory,
they bad not sufficient water to cool their
milk, which defect they will remedy for
the coming season.
Horace Dickinson's factory in Moria,
made a pound of butter irom 23 1 8 lbs.
of milk, and sold the butter at 30 cents a
pound at the factory.
The Baily Spring Factory,Chateauguay
made a pound of butter from 22.55 lbs.
of milk, and sold it at 29 1-5 cents a lb.
at the lactory.

made are peculiarly due to tb· system of
titling the milk iu vogue thero, is only to
bo determined by experiment ; that the
Jcvrctt pan is a very great improvement
upon the old syatera, there cannot be the
slightest doubt. All who use it assure
u< that ihere is not the slighted difficulty
in keeping the cre*rn sweet till all th«
cream has ri«en, and that the cream doe»
not acquire the filmy conditioo (whieh is
now admitted to be icotiditiou precedent
to the production of strictly primo but
ter,) and as a natural result there aie no
"white caps" *:r "tk-cks" produced. Thai
the cooperative or tactory β)stem, a?
practiced there, is (compared with the
tarm dairy system) a very great economy
of labor, and prufitnblc in securing η
uniformly g»»od article, cann«»t be doubt
ed. It must moreover be conceded that,
as compared with any other 1'actory re
ports which have come under our obser
vation, these are exceedingly lavorable
to the system. It is to be hoped that
mrh experiments will be made the com·
ii>g season. l»oth here and elsewhere. as
will settle many ol the controverted ques
tions in relatiou to butter making.
Renovation of Paitarr··
1 noticed a call in your psuer a fow j
weeks ago for the best way to impi'Ove
old, mossy, run-out pa»tures. 1 will mj
to you the best way I have tried is to
plow in the tail or early in the spring and
Sow to peas and oats. I put three bush·
els of |»e.is and one ol outs to the acre.
If the ground is rough 1 take two or three

l>eM cri p the third year. I often manage
in the same way with mowing fields that
are run out. When 1 do not have ma
nure to put on, it is a good crop for me.
I sometimes get a hundred bushels a
year. I thrash by hand; it is the cheap
est for me. I separate the oats lroui the
peas wheu I winnow. I mow a* soon as
the oats ar e fit to cut and let Ihem lay iu
the swarth until they are diy enough to
put into the barn, if ihe weather is good.
I get good lodder for cattle or horses. If
the farmers iu this State on old ruu-out
farms, tr* this, they will get a laiger
arnouul ol fodder ami not impoverish
their land. I have managed in this way
tor twenty years past. I make my pork
with peas. I calculate them worth as

A HA MULL· IX S FAIX.
My ruse-coloted ideas of Spanish see··
ery and character, scattered like blossom
leave» the morning we dropped anchor
betore the cil) of Valencia. It rained
heavily — almost a flood. A dirty wharf,
lumbered with tish, kegs, greasy barrels
and ail manner ol lorbidding looking
merchandise, wai ono of the principal
features in the foreground of a cheerless,
uninviting picture. Unlike our New
England laiu storms, which come in true
friendliness, to do us all the good they
can, providing an interiorness that is
pleasant and satisfactory; these, I was
to.d. are usually accompanied by a wild,
tearing wind, and hate the spirit of real
Spartan tight in them. The general
gloominess ot the day seemed linked with
the closure of a chapter of personal his·
tory— that of leaving home—and in very
sympathy wept with me over its fare
wells.
But who is this? 1 should know he was
an officer by his authoritative mien and
searching glance—Spanish by the unmis
takable phvsii. gnomy and gracefully loose
apparel. He came into the cabin and
asked the Captain a thousand or less ques
tions about u alters which ladies, in gen
eral. care little about,and on leaving said :
"Madam, 1 hope you are not discontent
ed." "I am, somewhat," «a» the reply,
when he very graciously assured me that
altogether they were considered a patieut
people inasmuch as they "let it rain it
was about time for the sunshine then,
and, touching his scmitrero, he left, uuder
the largest umbrella I over saw ; and I
blessed him. lie was a true prophet,
however, for the sun soon came out in
full g ory, and even the little pools were
glad, aud kissed, wilh a laugh, his com·
ing Î The clean washed city looked iresh
and inviting, and after obtaining a guide,
who proved to be a faithful one, we lost
no time îd joining the morning crowd.
Our lit it visit was to the King's Gar
den. It w;»> an unfavorable tiuao to visit
such a place, for the trees and flower
bordered pathways were yet heavy with
rain drops. These grounds are the prop
erty oi the renowned Rothschilds—the
Spanish government having failed to re
deem them from a heavy mortgage—and
are conspicuous for their undeniable
beauty anil taststulnesg of design. We
passed from avenue to avenue, Irom nar
row foot path to elevated square, and at
each step were more and more charmed
with the riotous wealth of blossoms ^nd
beautiful pieces of statuary. One would
readily be forgiven for flirtiug with Ihe
graceful Florae and a ho»t ol other chi··
cled beauties of mythological renown,
who would coquet t through the interstices
of the trees, and with a look of sweet
archness play hide-and go-seek with you
wheiever you vent. Evergroen and de
ciduous trees were classed in order. Full
box hedges were artistically cut so as to
form urns, baskets and other pretty fig
ures. Entire squares were confined to
flowers of a fjngle specie; here a bed of
plume-like bloaaoms nodded hither and
thither in shades of red and orange ; then
a vast patch of pure white flower·, not
lefts than an acre, which we were told
were regarded in the Papal country, as
belonging to the Virgin Mary, and which
were used in rich festal occasion* to dec·
orate her shrines. Oleander tree· of mam
moth size wero in the cmbraco of the
honeysuckle or other climbing plant·,and
showered a wealth of pink-tinted leaves
on the clear cut turf beneath. The rar
est and costliest of tropical flowers nour
ish here in their native beauty by meaus
of artificial heat, and mosses, like lichens,
that were born under the snows of Ice
land, are fostered by a favorable degree
of cold. The Passion flower interested
us from the associations connected with
it. I think that I have heard that this
plant was first discovered in oue of our
southern States. The Catholic· consider
it sacred. The leaves represent the
twelve apostles, and a drop that oozes
from tho centre ol the flower and glisteus
there, is looked upon ai an emblem of
our Redeemer's sorrow. Our guide led
us through subterranean passages which
were half lighted and reeking with dank.

then we noticed the familiar scarlet ge
ranium growing with wonderful rank

rock crevices. as it satisfied wilh her
neighborhood, and proud lo bo queen of
such a realm. A bower of fleshy-leave»!
cryptogamous plant* and ill-scented
weeds, looked a» il it might be a letreal
for arrant toad· nnd lizards, and we did
not examine it very cloeely. We ascend·
ed the sunken, irregular «tone stop· and
emerged into tho genial sunlight, glad lo
breathe purer and sweeter air. SVo were
conducted through grove* of acacia and
orange trees, to what resembled a coun
try hoarse heuse ; my husband stepped
upon the piallorm, and simultaneously
the doors flew open and a horrible look
ing automatic figure oi the older siamp
threw a powerful water jot. showering

man oi the most excellent sect and per*
suasion will become incoherent at this
wholesale violation ol the law of com
mon courtesy, and will never be blamed
for threatening to plunge his guide in
waters of a highet temperature.
Now we will go into the great Cathe
dral and then homo. This building was
commenced in tho thirteenth century.and
completed late iu the fourteenth, being
near;} a hundred years in construction.
It was built on the site ol a temple of
Diana, and is about three hundred feet
high. It is a tiue example of rich arch
itecture. Kudo caricatures which were
cut from mammoth block* of stone,adorn
the exterior, while the interior is deco
rated wilh pictures by the old masters,
who employed mulberry juice in the col
oring of the drapery of the saiuts.
Valencia is time-worn. Its churches
are crumbling and ivy-covered, and its
palaces, which possess tho most peculiar
style of Egyptian architecture, are fast
decaying. In lact, it conveys a melan
choly idea of depopulation.
Our guide directed our attention to a
chain of weirdly peakod mountains on
our left, at the same time informing us
that hundreds of robbers have their
haunts around them. Wo listened to
several heart-thrilling stones, till we
trembled with real fear and approaching
night shadows warned us to seek moro
secure quarters. M. E. F.

Sarsaparilla
Is widely known
as one of the most
effectuai remedies
ever discovered for
cleansing the sys
tem and purifying
the blood. It has
stood tin· test ui
yeans with a con
stantly growing rejh
utation, based on its
' intrinsic virtues, and sustained by its re
, markable cures. So mild as to be safe and
1 bénéficiai to children, and yet so searching
, as to effectually purge out the great cor
ruptions of the blood, such as the scrofulous
and syphilitic contamination. Impurities,
I or diseases that have lurked in the system
■ for years, soon yield to this powerful anti
! dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful
1 cures, many of which are publicly known,
of Scrofula, and all scrofulous diseases,
IHcers, Eruptions, and eruptive dis
orders of the skin. Tumors, Blotches,
Boils, Pimples, Pustules, s<>rcs,st.
Anthony's Fire, Hoso or Erysipe
las Tetter, Salt Itheiim, Scald
Head, HinffWorm, and Internal Ul
cerations of the Uterus, Stomach,
ami Liver. It also cures other com
plaints, to which it would not seem especi
ally adapted, such as Dropsy, Dyspep
sia, Fits Neuralgia,Heart Disease.
Female Weakness, Debility, and
• Lcucorrliœa, when they are manifesta
tions of the scrofulous j>oisons.
It is an excellent restorer of health and
strength in the Spring. By renewing the
appetite and vigor of the digestive organs,
it dissipates tlit· depression and listless lan
guor of the season. Even where no disorder
' appears, people feel better, and live longer,
' for cleansing the blood. 'Hie system moves
1 on with renewed vigor and a uew lease of
life.
