AGRICULTURAL. , j

Fruit. To Grow a Supply Quickly. The pioneer who pushes into the forest and makes a " clearing " just on the borders of civilization, or spots for the first time the wide prairie with improvements, should not . delay planting au abundance of the small fruits. To obtain a full supply of fruit for family use a3 soon1 as possible is a very desirable object; therefore the strawberry, currant,, raspberry and blackberry should be -set before the apple, pear,' or peach:" Twenty-five or fifty years ago, when the culture of the small fruits and their preservation in a comparatively fresh state during the whole year was but imperfectly understood, the settlers were compelled to wait the slow growth of trees before they could eat abundantly of fruit, and at this day (so hard is it to get out of the ruts,) one of the greatest privations anticipated by the pioneer, is that of the "fruits of the old; homestead." He may now be compelled to forego the tree fruits for a lew years, but by judiciously selecting, and some care in cultivating, an abundance of small fruits, which ' will very well supply the place of all others,, may be had on his table each day in the year alter a single season's growth. , These remarks Will aho apply to most localities' where the tree fruits are not sufficiently hardy, or fail from other causes the small fruits will thrive and supply their place. If necessary, protection can easily be fivon to the latter by hedges, emankments, or some covering. In all sections where the apple fails, small fruits should be grown, in abundance for home use. How shall it be done? Simply enough ! Plant strawberries, currants, raspberries, and blackberries; these will give fresh fruit for three months in the year, and drying and canning them will provide for the remainder. There need be no failure in any locality if you will only give to the work the thought and labor which its importance demand. Rural Neio Yorc.r. m-. Ventilation in Beehives. Bees in winter do not apparently suffer from cold, even when many degrees below the freezing point. Theirgreat enemy is damp.- I have known hives from which the bottom board has fallen, and which were fully exposed to the air, winter well, while others carefully tended lost thousands of bees, and yet both had sufficient stores. Hives made of thin boards are bad quarters for bees , unless well ventilated, and for the simple reason that when such are exposed to the weather they part ' rapidly with their warmth in cold weather, and unless carried off by currents of air; the moisture from the bees condenses on the inside and then congeals, and this process will go on - until the comb next to the sides is involved, and the bees are consequently huddled together in an ice-house. When combs ; are thus frozen, or kept steadily exposed to an atmosphere of moisture for some time, they will mould whenever the weather becomes warm. ;. It often happens that the principal portion of the honey is laid up in the outer combs, and if these are , frozen the bees cannot get their food, and may thus starve with food abundant, but locked up by frost. Cor. Ohio Farmer. Hog Cholera. The ' veterinary editor of the North British Agriculturist recommends the following treatment. As the disorder is so rapidly fatal, remedial measures are seldom of much avail. The stomach and bowels ' should be unloaded, if the pig is.,, tolerably vigorous, by ab emetic of sulphate of zinc. . A dose of castor oil should afterward be given ; and if there is pain and scouring the phsic may be united with a little laudanum. A warm, comfortable, clean bed is essential ; the . diet should consist of milk and water, or well boiled gruel. We have seen little pigs benefitted in the earlier stageB ty a warm bath; spirits and water or ammoniacal stimulants should be freely used to sustain the failing strength. The prevention of cholera will be effected by cleanliness, comfortable housing and proper diet, avoiding especially all putrefying food and filthy water. A corn Qcinsy Among Hogs Its Cure. The Dubuque ' Times says there has been a number of cases of disease among hogs in that vicinity. It makes its appearance in the morning, the symptoms being a great difficulty in breathing, which increases rapidly, till in two, three or four hours the animal falls into-a sort of a fit, and dies in a short time. The seat of the disease appears to be the throat, which swells up and has an inflamed or mortified appearance. Mr. Hatch had some forty shoats running in timber about his residence, out of whom he lost six in three days, when he began to think it was high time that some remedy was applied. His son lost three or four, and other neighbors were loosing some of their hogs in the same way. The cause of the disease was un known. One man, a resident of Pennsylvania, stated that a similar disease was not uncommon among the hogs of that country when allowed to run in woods; that it was supposed to originate from a too exclusive diet of acorns, and was called acorn quinsy. This idea as to its cause seemed to be borne out to some extent by the fact that no hogs that were kept up in the pen were attacked with the disease. .'i '- : i ; But the question as to the cause of the disease was of far less consequence

than the cure, and this Mr; 'Hatch was so lucky as to find. . It consisted of a mixture, two-thirds tar , and onethird lard; this was mixed" with Indian meal, and the whole diluted with

sufficient milk to lure the palate of the hog. Since the trial . of this remedy some time since not a hog has-died of mis aisease. , Cream Greatest Amount. 1 A correspondent of the Massachusetts Ploughman, in relation to the production and management of cream, says: "The best way . to secure the greater quantity of cream, as well as to have the butter come without trouble, is to stiain the milk in pans as usual, and let it stand several hours, (from morning until night and from night until the next morning.) then scald it. Have a kettle of. boiling water, into which the pan will fit tightly, like a cover, remove your pan gently from the shelf and set it over the boiling water. The steam will soon scald it.' It must not be boiled, but hot, the next thing to boiling. Put it- back on the shelf gently-- remember you are not churning it yet, and in , 'twenty-four hours see , the cream you will get. The same process will keep milk sweet lorige'r in hot summer weather. 1 ' Where there is a large quantity of milk this involves considerable labor, .and it can be scalded when first milked, but you do not get the same quantity of cream as by letting it stand several hours after milking before scalding." .f , ; ... , RY GOODS.
