I'OLL KOI. This ureal evil, to which horses are liable, is much less frevuem than formerly, owing to the diffusion of more knowledge as to the causes which produce^it. It is as its name indicates, located on the nape of tlie neck or poll, aud is, in nearly I every case, the punishment due the ownor for abuse or neirlcct. Its first appeara nee is indicated by an enlargement of the pull, anil should at once be scattered if ]io-si 11!e. Spirits of turpentine, oil of spike, and kciciseue oil. are all penetrating ami .-ofteiiing and may lie used to advantage in this stage of the disease, when 1 the difficulty is more readily removed than at any alter period. Alternatives should lie adiaiiii.-tered while the tumor is beim dispersed. If the treatment is neglected, suppuration lakes place, pipes are formed and fistula of the poll results. More active remedies are now needed,

Cooling purgatives and alteratives must be Used, and as sunn as the softening of the tumor indicates that matter is formed it mils' be opened at once and kept open, and the matter carefully pressed out, and the sore well sponged with eastile soapa or if a is a lowed lo accumulate and remain a formidable abcess will be the consequence.

Where pipes are present they must be thoroughly sponged with the soap-suds. A half ounce of tnitre should be dissolved iu the horse's drink every night and morning, and if ho is debilitated, tonics should be freely given. A liniment, made ly boiling a large handful of poke roots in a gallon of water, till the strength is extracted, skimming 'out the roots and boiling down the liquid to a quart, then adding half a pint of spirit- of turpentine and the same of oil ol spike, and simmering the whole down lo one. quart adding three ounces of blue vitrol, is said to be very efficacious. Kqual parts of powdered ground ivy and slaked lime sprinkled into the wound after it is laid open, are said to soon cleanse and dry up the sore. A strong lye made from hickory ashes and applied hot, is successfully used for the same purpose.

J!ut iu this disease, as HI all others, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,'' and the safest way is to understand and avoid all predisposing causes, such as keeping J..,.-™* bavin# floors and timbers over and in reach of of their heads or with doors so low as to endanger the head of the horse iu passing. Halters or bridles strapped tight around the poll, and excessive friction on that part, caused by tying the halter strap to the knee, foot or surcingle lo prevent breeching, are all productive of this evil, and should never be practiced. The head, being sensitive to the comb or brush, is apt to be neglected, and the accumulation of yjurf causes an irritation that induces the horse lo rub and often bruise the poll, thus laying the foundation for the disease .-.-A'Anothcr cause of this malady is the useless and unfeeling habit of.crowding the collar over the horse's head, to save the slight trouble of unbuckling and placing it in its proper place 011 the neck. If these precautions were generally heeded, the disease would in time wholly disappear.

The Secret of liaising Cood Vrult. When uninformed or careless fruit growers attend the annual Fairs, county ami .State, and see the handsome specimens of fruit exhibited, they wonder how such fruit can be raised. They think thro must be some mystery about it. As their own fruit is small, low-flavored and comparatively worthless, llicy imagine perhaps, that the nurseryman has sold them poor trees, or that their locality or soil must be bad. At least, something wrong iu the wind, which they cannot understand.

But there is no mystery about it. Good

Vicar of Winkfield and Duchess d' Angouleme are fit only for the pigs, and this chiefly because they have had such bad

rcgimcu. In connection with faithful tillage and generous food at the roots, let there be added suitable pruning of the branches and proper thining of the fruit. 1 his matter of pruning trees aud vines is soldoui attcuded to as it deserves. he drawf pear should be trained iu a pyramidal shape, both for its beauty and pro-

dui-tiveuess. The, grape vine produces no ade(|iiate crop unless it is pruned an- f, nnally, and that upon some intelligent system. Unless it lias some indefinite area over which to spread itself—like the top of a tree, or a roof of a house—the branches of an unpruned vine will form •a thick mat of half-dead canes only a few and imperfect clusters. Take out annually the whole, or a large part of tho old wood, shorten in the new, spread the branches evenly over the trellis, andjtlie yield will be large, beautiful and delicious.

Thinning of the fruit is important both lor trees and vines. Under the stimulating culture of our gardens, they can well mature and if the number is not reduced by hand, the fruit will be imperfeet. Thin them out a quarter or halfsrrown, taking out the small, gnurly specimens, and the remainder will be larger and every way better. Now, it is a much higher attainment to raise three pecks of .splendid pears, then a bushel of inferior frilit. It is fruit raised in the way we have now mentioned that excitcst he astonishment of spectators, and sets them inquiring after the secret of such culture.

A l'LA('E~F0K TOOl's™' Farmers should take good care of their farniiug tools and implements, and not lend them out to get wet, and to tlie influence of a hot sun, to crack the wood. Wagons aud plows will last a life time, ..%• if well housed but when left out, exposed to all kinds of weather, a few years suffice lo use them up.

A tool room is as important to a farmer as any building on his farm. A i*':: work bench, with vice at one end, is very important. Mere a hundred things can be "fixed," too numerous to mention.

In such a room a good assortment of of tjtitid tools should be kept—saws, planes, augers, bits, gimblets, files, Then get a good supply of nails of all kinds, wrought and cut, and some mado V? especially for little jobs, that require nice nails. The city hardware dealers have them, they come in papers like brads. Von also want an assortment of screws J, No matter whether you know of any use you (ran put many of the screws, nails, brads, &c., to, you will bo sure to use them all, sooner or later.

You also require a good assortment of timber, ready seasoned, to enaJblc you to make or mend anything that can possibly be done outside of a wheelwright or' blacksmith shop.

Try it, farmers, aud see-how quickly ... you, aud your sons, can learn on rainy days to put your farm tools in order, and also do many other things for tho "women folks," that will save you bundreds of dollars in the end.

l'nlnt. Take half a bushel of best white un-

slaked lime aud slake with boiling water, keeping it covered during tho process. Then adi! a peek of olean suit, well dissolved in warm water, three pounds of ground rice boiled to a thin paste and stirred in boiling hot half a pound of clean glue, aud five gallons of hot water, Stir it well and let it stand covered a few days. The glue should be dissolved by being well soaked, then put into a small vessel, which should be hung in a :fi larger oue which is filled with hot water this will melt it aud keep it from burning. The paint should be applied right hot, which can be done by keeping* it in a ,, kettle or on a portable fumauce. Any shade of color can be given with the coloring matters, ochre, lampblack, Spanish "y brown, umber, &c., to suit the taste.

MARINO IIAII.S.—When to split rails is au undecided question. Probably the

fruit is confined to no locality, and is obtained by no occult process. If there is any secret, good cultivation will disclose it. Dig about your fruit trees ^ud dung them keep down the grass and weeds over as large a space as the roots extend (and this is as far as the branches reach) and your eyes will begin to open. What healthy bark and foliage! What large and abundant fruit! J^o fruit tree, perhaps profits by high keeping like the dwarf pear tree. One reason why so many of these trees droop and die, or yield scanty and unpalatable fruit, is that they are iu grass land, or allowed to become grass-bound, or are fed in rations so small and poor th"* no good fruit can be grown upon them. Sometimes the

jo flow. is the best time to cut and ..,., split the timbor but as that is a busy_' season with the farmer, it may be better to do such work in winter, even though. the rails may not last quite as long, aswhen cut and split in September.

THE GARDEN SOIL.—Constantly im-: prove this endeavor to reach the point where its productive power cannot be proved. You will be astouished at the result, and think the land round about you little better than a desert. Sod,,^ from old grass land, piled with leaf mould ..,. or stable manure and leached ashes, make

a compost that will improve any soil. But if the soil be clay add sharp 8and

also. This is the season to make the

compost heap.- [nh
