An idea of what can be done on a small farm under intelligent management and with good stock may be gathered by the returns received by Mr. G. Seivers, of Fairfield, whose three cows have this year produced (factory returns) over 14001 b of but-ter-fat (says the Levin Chronicle). These cows, together with a horse, are pastured on an area of five acres, the whole of their feeding- being produced from this area. One acre is kept in constant cultivation, oats for spring feed, niai'/.e, etc., for the tutumn, and mangolds for winter beinggrown, besides hay being saved from surplus pasture in the summer time. Such illustrations of what can be produced from small areas by intense cultivation arc illuminating as indicating a remedy for the excess price at which much of the local land was purchased. For Bronchial Coughs, take Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.
