American Agriculturist. Drains should be inspected and the witlets cleared.iif sipsgini ice and Bnow. , , x, , Jrt . , In a single county in" Teris there are 650,000 sheep,, a larger -number, than ia any other (vwntv in the Union. T--1. .. i - . vr ..- Lay plans for the -year without diay. The forehanded man works to great advantage. He loses to time; everything is done at the proper nftaamt- ' "' ' - Sar&oe wter is t be let olT from fields tod roads before the ground is deeply utired. This will avoid wasteful and aairyingrraning ot-guHeys. i -jr' J ;. Spring begins the 20th T March, atfi:2) . .m.J'bft spring work befpra some time since .lithe South and Southwest. In the North" foe winter yet lingers, but the time for theQrst spring work has come. Harrowing fall grain is i-a order' as soon as the jrronnd islry. It wi help to cover up "plants that have been loecened by heaving, and will aid weak plants to posh ahead. A -lres? ng of artificial fortf;.zer3 will be a great benefit to tsese crops. - Early lambs may be pushed forward by giving then a little fresh cow's milk. They wifl sood learn to drink, this from a pen. The milk chould be ven warm from a fresh cew, a quarter of a pint to a meal. Do not overfeed any young animal; that retards, mstead of assisting growth. "Black-leg" in calves is frequent just now.' (It mainty affects the best kept animals. To .prevent it, give the sulphur and molasses, and feefl bd meal. To reduce thecondition gradually is an effective" preventive, Medicines coi-ie too late in this disease, which is -almost surely fatal at this season. The- change ot weather often exposes men working in the open air to great risks. To keep the feet dry is very necessary. 1 A welldramged barnyard is one preventive of wet feet, and wearing rubber boots -whenever water or mad is to be encountered, is another. The latter wifi serve in all cases. , Clover seed may be sown tbis month upon the' bare groend after a light frost. By sowing npoa a light flurry of snow, upon which the seed can be seen, a very even cast may be made. The "Cahoon". and the "Pbila"delphia" broadcast sowers are good machines 'for sowing eeed very rapidly by hand. The first work ia the spring is to replace (fences laid fcy the winter storms. There is nothing gained by plowing too early. The soil should be dry before a farrow is turned. Manure Kay be drawn out; stones can be Leathered ; from frozen ground -when the 'warmth f the sun has loosened them. , , , Want ef- care during the winter leaves a cow very poor and weak in the spring. Any -animal that is out of condition should be well tared for now. . A mess of warm bran slop, 'with one ounce of ginger stirred in, will be-cery useful. - It is not safe to overfeed, especially with stiruclatlng food. Hired men are now engaged to begin work April. L. The season usually consists of eigktomine months, leaving the men idle about one quarter of the year. It is well for emDloyers to consider if they can not better attorn to give steady employment. There is work to be dono at all seasons if sought for., 5... ; ;i. - . - . nj A' few one ounce doses or a mixture of -equal parts of sulphur andream of tartar will relieve the irritation of the skin com mon in the early spring, -and the loss of muob wool by rubbing. tw3- should have drycd elean pens and yards. Abundant litter is no-remedy for a wet .floor: a drv board is better than a foot of damp straw for a oea. '.every iarming implement needs over hauling, and many will reoaire repairing. This is the last opportunity of getting things Sharpen and polish np the tools; clean the machines -aud oil them thoroughly; look veil for missing bolts; change round for iqaare-headed bolts, and,put everything into sorting oraer. Bey no fertilizers without knowing precisely what they consist of. ; Peruvian, gu--ano, and other reliable fertilizers, when genU'r.e,. always have a brand Upon their bags'" with a statement of their analysis. ' Special man ores are -sold by responsible dealer?, according to known formulas, -which should be atndted by the purchaser, that he niay know what he is getting and haw to use it. A calf that is infested with vermin, may be known by its rough coal covered with -ticks. -The young animals -should be freed from .these pests at once. . A mixture of lard and.cxUpa.iir robbed along1 the spine and on the brisket will be effective; and a dose of & table&poonful of sulphur and molasses, ones day fer a week, will help greatly te drive away dice and prevent disease. '"- Hones' feet should be well cared for in the -elnehy condition of -toe roads. - When ' brought in; from work,' horses should be well robbed down with a piece cf blanket, and the feet. and. legs thoroughly dried. The friction will remove th9 chilling effect of the cold sinsh; but if this is left upon the feet, the akin may become diseased, and the eeacked heels or foot fever result from the carelessness. m'iiJ', ' .' .. : j - Keparate .breeding sows -from other, pigs, and provide them with a warm, dry pen bedded with leaves or cat Btraw and tarnished with.a rail fastened eight inches from the floor and from the wall, to prevent the yoon jiga.f rom being crushed. It is well to give .the sow half a pint of raw linseed oil few days before farrowing,, and. immediately after.; this may prevent her from destroying the pigs. ' Artificial fertilizing seems i. be the moat important question now before the farmers. It is a eompejxtkvely new thing here. : Bnt there ia bo other way -to procure the necessary manure to cultivate all our -fields, and to get the largest crops. -Half methods will no longer pay. We have a wide market to fill, and prices aw low. To make things even we must produce .more, it Us well to conaider seriously- hew far one an experiment with artificial fertilizers this season as a .guide for .future use. ... , t ., , Unless great cleanliness is observed, the . poultry-houses will become offensive and .unwholesome in the dump and warmer tweather. Clean often,' and sprinkle with .plaster and coal asnw, or dig up the earth era itoor and freshen it. ' If lice or flea abound, .apply greess or kerosene oil to the perches; it will spread front these to the fowls. Pro,vje warm, sheltered nesting-places for the eai!y-setUng hens, and a glass-covered coop tor the chicks.- r eed, young chicks little, bnt often. ' ' :- . ' Handy Things to Hare.

All these, and a closet fo keep them in, will be found valuable in the saving of time, money, and Irritation, when t n occasion of pressing need comes daring 'he busy season. . . ... Farmers' Orchard awtt - Hnrnery. I American Agricultnrlxt.J Those who 'go about the country to do rraf ting, wish to make their season- aa long as possible, and begin to set graft ia February, i It should not be doue until the buds oa the tree to be grafted begin to swell, and

show that vegetation is active. Make preparations and secure cioas if it has not - been done.1 CiooB, when inserted, should always, be dormant, and if not already cut do it at once before the bads wake up. r . Those nursery trees that were budded last summer, will need attention when tbe buds begin to swell, and it is known that the inserted, buds have "taken." All above the bud is toba removed; that this bud may

have the whole nourishment supplied by the root. Remove the stock with one cut of a sharp knife, leaving about half an inch above the bud. . .11 pruning, and renovating old, trees, may ce ..done at a time when other work is not possible. . .. . , Peach seeds that have been kept in boxes of earth, or mixed - with earth in heaps, should be planted in nursery rows, three or four feet apart. The stones are to be separated from the soil by means of a coarse sieve or riddle,' and only those that have cracked tbe shells, are planted about three inches apart in the rows, and covered two or three inches deep. If the halves of the shell fall away, all the better; the seed ia to be planted the same. Crack tbe stones not loosened by a light blow upon the edge. Planting trees is a iob that should not be hurried. It is not fair treatment of a tree to put it into a hole with clods of wet, half frozen earth around its roots. " If , -trees are received before the ground is ready beel them in and let them wait. Select a dry place where the soil is light, open a trench, and lay in the trees in a slanting position at an angle of 45 degrees, one after another, carefully covering the roots ana lower part of the si em of each with soil. See that each tree is properly labeled, or if there are a number of a kind, place a stake to mark them in such a manner that there will be no doubt about their names when they are taken out. Care now, will save much trouble in future. When properly heeled in the trees are safe for a month or more. The Frnit artlen. . American Agriculturist.! ' : Plant just as soon as the ground is in con dition bat not before, as some of the plants start very early. If new garden is to be made, select a warm well drained sou, and enrich it thoroughly-, it is desirable to .have it near tbe house, not only for the convenience of the family, bat fls a security against trespassers. Our advice in this, as in other departments, is, make the main planting of well established varieties, and try as many of the n6w kinds offered by dealers as can be afforded. Blackberries. Plant not nearer -than six feet. Xhe "Kittatinny" best for general culture. "Snyder" is of good promise. Currants. Set four or live feet apart. For varieties, "Versailles", 'and "White Grape.'i Gooseberries. Same as currants. "Down ing," '"Smith's Improved." - i Grapes. The distance apart will depend upon the method of training; if on a regular trellis eight leet will answer lor most va rieties. But vines can be set anywhere and everywhere; against fences, sheds, the barn. the house; wherever there is room in the ground for the roots, and space to train them, put Tines. If but one vine, plant "Concord." . Delaware," , Creveling, "Wilder," "Barry," and "Eumelan," are all good, ai.a generally succeed. Pears. Dwarf trees may be grown in the garden and afford a fair amount of choice fruit, while their cultivation will ' afford much pleasure; but for fruit, in quantities plant standards in the orchard. iSet dwarfs 8 or 10 feet apart. Tbe variety is bewildering. For one dwarf tree, the "Duchesse d'Angouleae." - ; Raspberries. Set four feet apart. We are at loss to recommend any one red raspberry; prooaDiy tue uranaywine succeeds over a wider range than . any other. There are number of .great promise, including the "Cuthbert". Cf black caws, the "Mammoth Cluster."., , . i Strawberries. Set the . plants one foot apart with two feet between the rows, for garden; for field culture put the rows three feet spirt. The best one berry for family ue that we know of is "Charles Downing." Newer sorts are numerous, and some of great merit. The MeaeraL oaniM InqulreiMlo-" , : .The Graphic i ; .

Lard for pastry should be used as hard as it can be cut with a knife. It should be cut through the Hour, not rubbed. In boiling meat for soup, use cold water to extract the juicea. - If the meat is wanted for Itself alone, plunge into boiling water at once. To prevent meat from scorching daring roasting, place a basin of water in the oven ; the steam generated prevents scorching and makes the meat coos bettfr. Broil steak without salting. Salt draws the juices in cooking; it Is desirable to keep these in, If possible. Cook ever a hot fife, -turn frequently, searing on both sides; place on a platter, salt and pepper to taste. Beef that has a tendency to be tough can be. made very palatable by stewing gently for two hours with pepper and salt, taking out about a pint cf the liquid when half dome, and letting t e rest boil into the meat, Brown the meat in the pot. After faking up, make a gravy of the pint of liquor saved.
