JHOIJS?, FARM AND 6ABDEM.

HARDY FRUIT.

Millions of fruit trees are killed •every Winter in the Northern or ^Northwestern States, by the rigor or irregularity of the Winter. The demand for hardy fruits is becoming greater every year, so much so latterly, that farmers are beginning to import apple trees, etc., from Russia.

J. S. Sherman of Rockford, 111., •one of the most intelligent fruit grow

lers

in the West, has sent to the editor of the Country Gentleman, some specimens of a seedling originating in Minnesota 35 miles Northwest of St. Paul, grown from seed sown thirteen years ago by P. M. Gideon, and named b}r him the Wealthy. He says that it is impossible to describe the many discouragements that have ^attended the pioneers of horticulture in that latitude, where almost all kinds of fruits, except the small fruits, wild ones, and Siberian crabs, win-ter-kill. He predicts that the new seedling will have a great run as soou as it becomes extensively propagated .and properly known. He says that before being damaged by keeping in too warm a room* the specimens were as fine as he has ever seen, both in appearance and quality, between a Wagena and Jonathan or a Spitzenburg, for sprightliness. He says: •"Those fine crabs such as Transcendent, Hyslop, Montreal Beaut}-, etc., which none of the books describe, are almost invaluable in that latitude, for the simple reason that they are hardy. The new seedling, Wealthy, will be the starting point iu native apples in Minnesota."

A correspondent ot the Ashville,

N. C-, News and Farmer, says that, the proper way to graft the vine is to

cut the cions between the first of De-' cember and the last of January, and pack away in a box, bedded in wet sand, and keep them in a cellar until the leaves of the vines to be grafted are half grown, then dig down below the collar, and with pegs bringing to a horizontal position. Cut off the end smoothly and graft just as you would an apple tree leaving at least two buds of eyes, and then place a. hill around it, reaching to the top of the graft, covering the upper buds an inch with loose dirt, free from clods, and then if the graft fails to grow, it is because the cions had lost their vitality before the work was done. If the roots are thrifty and in rich ground, the vines will grow eight sixteen feet in length the first year and I will grow a crop of grapes the sec-!

ond year

JERSEY, Guernsey, Alderney and Sauk, known as the Channel Islands, are situated near the east of France. They have long been celebrated for producing a breed of cattle which yield milk of a superior quality. The cause of the richness of the milk is ascribed b}7 some persons to the fact that the cows are fed principally on parsnips, but if such were the case, the good quality of the milk would cease as soon as the forage was changed. One thing is certain, that milk cows of any breed or grade will give rich milk when fed on parsnips.

THE necessity of keeping up a constant supply of sulphur in the soil will be evident when it is understood that sulphur is removed from land in milk, cheese, flesh, muscle, hide, horn, hair, hoof, and nearly all other kinds of compounds, Wool contains five per cent, of sulphur and this large quantity taust of course be extracted "from ttie soil on which wool is grown. Plants cannot exist without sulphur. The importance of applying piaster to the soil will be apparent from these facts.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Germantown Telegrdph says that he knows a first class farmer who cultivated his fence corners, or rather land which the plow woulct not ifeach along the fences, in grass, and he found that the product met all the expenses, and his fields suffered very little from weeds. Fence corners are generally nurseries for weeds.

IN a lecture on "Inse^ Jinfiinies," lately delivered by Mr. Trer't before the Yineland Agricultural and Horticnltnral Society, the lectin cr advised his hearers to carry all the toads they find into the garden, as 4hi devour immense quantities of insects. A toad will swallow the largest specimen of a tomato worm, although sometimes he will have a hard time of it.

FOR a young man who is thoroughly in earnest, farming offers a grand field for effort but the man who is only half in earnest, who thinks that costly barns, and imported stock, and a nicely rolled lawn are the great objects of attainment, may accomplish pretty results, btrt they will be small ones.

MEDICAL.

A Positive Remedy for' all kinds of Humors, Scrofula, Scurvy, Salt-Rheum, Carbunles and Boils, Ulcers and all obstinate tffections of the Skin, Inflammatory ir Chronic Rheumatism, Piles, Chronic )iarrhcea, Mercurial Diseases, and every aint of the System Dyspepsia, and thosa kffections originating in the Derangement if the Digestive Organs viz., Bilious )omplaints, Neuralgia, and Nervous Af« ections, Headache, Languor, and Depresion of Spirits, Loss of Appetite, Constitation. ,, jf

excellent medicinal compound was flrtt prepared by Dr. J. W. POLAND, in 184/, nd was then employed with great success in xpclling humors from the blood but in 1848 a ledical friend who was quite celebrated as a pliyrfian, especially in the treatment of humors, surest ed some important improvements, which were dopted, and which has made it (so the people say) lie very best remedy for all kinds of humors known "the faculty."

This preparation is composed entirely of vegetans, among which are Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock, foble Pine, Mandrake, and Bloodroot.

When the originator lived in New Hampshire, at JofTstown Centre, for the space of thirty or forty ailes around, and in Manchester particularly, the lumor Doctor was well known and highly valued or the numerous and wonderful cures which it elected. Though manufactured in large quantities, he supply was frequently exhausted, and purchaars had to wait for more to be made. In that region, some very severe cases of Erysipelas were reated with, —and they were cured I Erysipelas ores, or carbuncles,—those ugly, painful ulcers, -were entirely removed wherever this medicine ras faithfully used. So it was with Scrofula and alt-Rheum. The Humor Doctor cured them.

It is free from any dangerous drugs, is pleasant to he taste, safe, yet sure and effective in its action.
