McCoRMIcK's REAPING MAcHINE.-This
admirable American invention continues to
grow in favor in England. The London
weekly News says:
Mr.. Pusey, M. P, has communicated the
circumstances attending his trial of this ma
chine to the Royal Agricultural Society,"
The machine, drawn by two horses, and car
ryng two men, driver and a raker, cut The
whea. about eight inches from the ground
with the utmost regularity. The horses
found the work light, though the machine
was cutting at the rate OF one acre and a
half per hour, making fifteen acres per day
Of ten hours. The raker, standing behind
platform, certainly had to exert himself
but it is obvious tha, he and the driver,
who has only to sit on the dicky, might
very we'll exchange places from time to
time:
"As one cannot put high price on the
labor OF farm horses at such lImes,' says
Mr.. Pusey, Sit is plaiu that great saving
mus, be effected by this machine, and every
farmer can calculate it for himself, as he
Will dISo see tue dOSou'oSS vi
ed independent Of the arrival Of strangers to
get in his corn, who cannot always be found.
This trial was witnessed by many farmers
and no fault was found with the work. The
land, should say, however, being stock
land, is even; where ridges and waer-fur-
rows exist, some difficulties seem to arise.
But on this level land it was wonderful to
see this new implement working so smooth
Iy, so truly, and in such mastery manner.
The fact is, however, that Is not an untried
implement. Though new in this country,
! it has been used for some years in America,
where experience has enabled the inventor
to correct in successive seasons the defects
invariably found in new implements. 1t is
certainly strange that we should not have
had it over before, nor indeed should we
have had it now, but for the Great Exhibi-
lion, to whose royal originator the English
farmer is clearly indebted for the nlroduc.
ton of the most important addition to farm
ing machinery that has been invented since
The .hreshlng machine first took the place
Of the fail.

FATTENING HOGS.

When the hogs are first 2enned, they
should have administered to them in their
food, for few days, doses Of -four Of sui
phur and copperas the first will &C, on
and purify their blood, the latter relieve
Them Of kidney worms. These medicines
should be given them every other day for
q week in messes of bran or meal, say q
sesspoonful at dose for each hog.
Their food for the first week or so, should
be cooked pumpkins, apples, roots and vege.
tables, when corn meal may be added, in
creasing the quantity of meal daily. To-
wards the las. Of the feeding the whole
should be corn meal, which, if possible,
should be cooked, as hogs take fat on fas-
ter upon cooked than uncooked food-be-
sides which, The food goes farther.
Each pen should be provided with rub
bing- post and trough, in which at all times,
should be kept charcoal, rotten ,cood ashes
and salt.
The hogs should be provided with dry,
covered sleeping apartments, to which they
may retire and sleep at pleasure, and have
access 10 yard. The sleeping apartments
should be freely Uttered thrice week, and
cleansed cut as of.en.
Their food should be given them three
Zines day, at regular hours, and they
should receive fresh water as often. We
have seen soap-suds thrown into their
,roughs on wash-days, and we though. with
decided advantage. Wash their Thoughts
out daily.
Besides their corn, they should have roots
or vegetables OF some kind thrown into their
pen.-.American Farmer.

FALL PLOUGHING,

As the corn will al soon be "cribbed'
think few words would not be amiss on
The advantage Of ploughing corn ground in
the fall. ! will not pretend to enter into
argument concerning it, but will simply
state few facts which have come under
my notice. have always been a strong
advocate Of ploughing in the fall, as feel
assured by experience that it pays abou,
twenty per cent, better than by ploug hing
in the spring. BY turning the sward down
in the fall, the roots are exposed to the win
ter, and insects, which are so injurious to
the corn crop, are generally Destroyed
The seeds and grass which are turned down,
becomes decomposed, and the ground will
be in excellent order for working in the
spring.
A few years ago had two neighbors tha,
could no. be persuaded to plough in the fall,
on any terms. ploughed in the fall, they
in the spring. We planted our corn a. the
same time. When j! was up about week,
the 3'cal worms' made dreadful havoc a
mong theirs, destroying nearly ell. They
had 10 re-plsnt several times, while mine
was left entirely untouched, and after they
did succeed in getting theirs to stand, they
they had TO be continually working a. it to
keep the grass down, while there was hard
ly spear to be seen in my field, and the
resul. was, had good crop, while they
had only half one. After lha, season they
followed my example and ploughed in the
fall, and they have not been troubled with
she Gu. worm since. verify believe that
there would not be one. third Of the COM
plants against the "cut woIm" if there
was more Of the ground ploughed in the
fall, than there is a, present.-Dollar Nsws-

ORCHARDS.

The trees of your orchard should be ex-
eminet. and, wherever you find dead limb,
cut it off with saw into the sound wood,
smooth the surface of the wound with a
drawing knife or some other sharp tool a.
dap,ed to the purpose; then dress it with
two coats Of mixture made thus-mell
equal parts Of rosin, beeswax, and turpen-
tine together, apply it warm with brush !;
dust sand freely over the last coat while the
mixture is warm.
Promiscuous pruning Of trees, is always
injudicious; no limb but dead one should
be cut of. Sometimes small branches in
,erlsp each other, in such cases one may be
removed.
The trunks Of the trees, whenever the
bark is scabby or covered with ross or moss,
should be scraped. 1t is a good practice,
spring and fall, to paint them with mix
aure made Of soft soap, sal, and flour Of sui
phur, in the proportion Of one gallon ol
soap, to q,. Of salt, and ID. Of The -four
of sulphur.
All orchards should be periodically ma.
nured. A compost formed Of woodsmou
marsh or river mud, and ashes, to which
may be added, 9 bushels Of bone dust te
the quantity allotted to an acre, forms {
mos, excellent manure, which may be ei,he
ploughed in shallow or narrowed in. Care
mus, be observed not TO bruise or lacerat'
the trees in doing SO.
All fallen fruit should be gathered, cook
ed into messes with bran or meal, and fec
to the cows and hogs. In every apple thus
gathered and cooked, the parents Of hun
dreds Of insects will be destroyed, SO that
BY continual attentions of this kind, in few
years, orchards may be rid Of them.-.ame
