HOUSE. FARM AND OAltDEN.
THERE is more nutriment in A, corn stalk when the car is beginning to, form than at any other time.
TRANSPLANTING trees and vines should never bo done in the morning unless the day is cool and pretty cloudy.
A FARMER in Iowa, by planting many forest and fruit trees along his lines and roads, doubled the value of his neighbor's land.
DRILLED or sowed corn on rich land, using three bushels to the acre, will yield more fodder than any two acres of meadow.
A TOWN in Vermont of 129 voters lias no lawyer, no doctor, one blacl smith, no grocery—but 100 agricultural papers are taken.
A GENTLEMAN in New Albany, Ind., rules the curculio away from his plums, and has fruit every year by sprinkling the trees with wood ashes twice a week when the leaves are wet.
THE unsolved Southern problem now is a cotton-picking machine There is little difficulty in planting and plowing out a great crop but the harvesting, aye, there's the rub
EVERYBODY conversant with fruit raising is aware that good fruit trees are raised from seed, in fact, that our best varieties originate in no other way.
APPLE WATER.—Roast three or four good apples, carefully, preserving all the juice. Put them in a pitcher and pour on a quart of boiling water. Drink when cold.
TWENTY years ago grapes sold at five cents a pound in Philadelphia, now the same variety commands fifteen. The business of raising choice fruits is not overdone, nor is it likely to be.
WITHIN the past four months 30,000 tons of commercial fertilizers have passed over the Georgia Central Railroad. David Dickson, the best cotton planter in Georgia, has bought 813,000 worth.
MUSH FLANNEL CAKES.—Mix a pint of corn mush with two of wheat flour, a spoonful of butter or lard, two eggs, and half a teacup of yeast. Make it in a batter with water or milk, and bake like buckwheat cakes.
A CORRESPONDENT of the American Institute Farmers' Club says that he keeps the curculio from spoiling his plums and peaches bjT coating the trees, when damp with dew, with plaster of Paris.
No matter how particular the milkmaid may be, a few drops of decaying milk will send a sourish smell through the best kept dairy. Whenever this is perceived remember that a pan of dry charcoal will drink in every mite of it.
A MEMBER of the Mohawk Farmers' Club marked off four strips, equal in size: No. 1, he fertilized with horsedroppings No. 2, with cow-dung No. 3, with barn-yard scrapings and No. 4, with leached ashes. No. 4 gave the best results.
A CHEMIST in Buffalo has patented a method by which he preserves fruits so they will keep, without beingsealed, for any length of time, and remain as natural and fresh in appearance and as delicious in flavor as when plucked from the stem or vine.
SWEET corn, says Prof. Norton, contains less starch than field corn, but much more sugar and more gluten. If it can be made to yield well lie thinks it should be allowed to ripen, and we should grind it for bread in preference to the varieties in common use.
THE farmer must practice one of three methods to keep vegetable mold in his fields use a great deal of straw and other vegetable refuse in his Stock yards, haul many loads of swamp muck, or plow in clover once in three or four years. The last way is the cheapest. There are those
•who
employ all three of these methods. Their farms are not for sale.
SHEEP AND RAISING CORN.—The preponderating, the undisputed test* mony of many of the most successful farmers of Great Britain is, that farm-
in01,
though now profitable, could not remain so, in many localities without sheep. Beneath their "golden hoofs" we see the fields of Great Britain, af ter centuries of cultivation, rivaling in
productions of wheat, and excelling in their yield of grasses the fertile prairie land of our own and other Western States.
