Pruning rhen the ieaUeS are on
The only pruning we hold to be
sound, safe and commcndable, at this
season, is that Of the finger and
thumb---in other words, pinchlng.
Ii is quito inconsistent with good
management to rear crop of good
shoots at two or three inches growth
before they attain To woodlncSs. -
This economies the force of the
tree, and turns il into n channel
where it will promote instead of frus-
tratIng the ends VIC arc aiming at
For instance, if We plant a young
tree, aud have trimmed it with a
view to certain form, and contrary
TO our expectations, shoot breaks

wise TO tolerate tins intruder until it

Under Dr0ining.--A tract of
land which the writer determined TO
under drain, was situated in the CEN
ter Of several other lots, walled into
portions of various size and shape,
consisting of plow lands, permanent
or wet meadow, and pasture. BY
survey it was found that the tract
contained twcnty-four acres, and that
two and half acres of ii were coy
cred, and thus entirely lost to use,
by stone walls. These were all re-
moved, the small stones filed in the
drains the rocks or large boulders
undermined aud sunk out Of sight.
Thus he obtained a smooth lot, all
dry enough to plow, and no wall in
the way, and nothing lost to culliva-
ton by useless division fences. The
water from the drains was conduct
ed eighty rods IN a ditch TO n dry
field, aud then used for irrigation,
thus drying a wet spot and watering
n dry one.
1t was upon this drained land that
he grew turnips, from English seed,
at the rate OF 500 bushels per acre,
while ii was in the rough process of
reformation.
From experience ii is recommen-
dcd that turnips should be sown be-
fore the ooh Of July on account of
our dry summers. One pound of
seed per acre is sufficient for broad
cast sowing; if done in August, sow
one bushel of red top and one bush
ell OF herds grass per acre, and the
turnips will shade and protect the
Young grass plants. TO this our
friend adds few pounds of clover
seed after the iurnips are harvested,
and the next season he has fine
crop Of hay.--N. Y. Tribune.

SUMMER BEVERAGES.

AS the warm season is hero whom
our appetites naturally require some
beverage that is satisfying and agree
able when athrst, | wish to give
youi farming readers few receipts
for making hcalthful, cheap and a.
grecable drinks for the summer sea-
son, which know from experience
to be excellent for the purpose.
The first is known by the name Of
scidtit@ po,oderS these powders are
absolutely invaluable they are ex-
cellent for all arrangements of the
bowels, liver, kidneys cosiiveness,
&c, and if the people would use
them generally, the would contribute
largely TO the general health. They
are sold at very high price in the
drug shops, and are frequently So old
as to be nearly worthless therefore,
II is essential that we should all know
how 10 make them at first cost, which
is trllling. The following is re-
celpt for making one powder, and
any number can be made by the same
rule Rochelle salts, 9 drachms
carb. soda, 2 scruPles; tartaric acid,
80 grains. Dissolve lheisaIls and soda
together in one glass. then dissolve
the acid IN another glass, throw them
together, and drink during the cfler-
voscc. To those who have no scales
for weighing such small quantities, |
wall say, that one ieaspoonful of the
salts will answer for two drachms
and n half teaspoonful tor Two
scruplcs OF soda, and about a quarter
of a teaspoonfu for thirty five grains
of acid.
The next in order is, what | shall |
call a medicdted lemonade very
agreeable and healthy beverage for
the summer season il is made as
follows : White sugar, one pound |
lartarlc acid, quarter of an ounce
essence of lemon thirty drops water,
three quarts. Mix any quantity, for
more or less can be made 10y the same
rule. There are some who prefer
white sugar, bul like brown nearly
as we'll. Thus can lemonade be
without the use Of le-
mons, which in my estimation is FAR
superior TO that made from fruits,
without much trouble or expense.
| will close with few receipts for
beer. First, 1ohite spruce
beer, which is made as follows three
pounds Of loaf sugar, four gallons
of water, one ounce of ground gin
ger, little lemon peel, aud enough |
of essence Of spruce to give il flavor;
add cup of good yeast, aud when
iermented, bottle it close. This is
a delightful beverage.
Second, imperial ginger beer,
which is made as follows: cream of
tartar, one pound, ginger two ounces,
white sugar, seven pounds, essence
of lemon, one drachm; water, six
gallons yeast, half pint bottle,
and Tie the corks down.
forgot TO say in its proper place,
That in drinking scidlilz powders,
they would be made more palalable
by putting spoonful of brown su-
gar into the glass with the salts and
soda before pouring the acid on it.

HOW TO FEED STOCK E.
ECONOMICALLY.

The due preparation OF food Tor
stock is an important matter. Hun
dreds of experiments have establish
ed. beyond all doubt, the fact that
all sorts of provender, when finely
divided goes a great deal further
than when fed in its coarse, natural
state. Rough food Of every de-
scripiion, not excepting the best of
hay, should invariably be chopped
up into pieces not exceeding an inch
and a quarter in length. This is the
uniform practice of all good farmers
IN Great Britain, Belgium, Germany,
&c, and of all the best stock feed
ors in our northern States, and no
fact in agriculture, perhaps, is better
established than its paramount tmpor-
lance. Ii is desirable and proper at
all times, but particularly and en-
phatically 60 in seasons Of scarcity;
and the use Of machinery, of the
fast hay and straw cutters now in
use, diminishes the labor Of the thing
so greatly as to make the plan fca-
sible one 10 every farmer. Wetting.
of even thoroughly soaking this spe.
cies Of provender, before feeding, is
found 10 enhance lis value.
Corn, too, and every sort Of grain,
should be ground before it is given
10 the animals. Not merely crush
ed, but ground into fine meal. In
this condition only can il be used TO
the best advantage, according to the
experience Of the best farmers Of the
day. The proper plan is to mix it
with the cut food above described,
and il is important that it should be
fine enough 10 adhere TO it when
wet. The rough food and the meal
thus prepared and fed 10 stock is
found TO 90 farther by from twenty
five to fifty per cent, than the same
articles fed in the ordinary way,
without preparation. Such at least
is the testimony of those who have
paid most attention to the subject
and The fact that they continue TO
practice themselves, wear after year,
what they recommend 10 others, is
pretty good proof that they do real
ly find it profitable. The mill above
mentioned, which has cob cutter
attached, is warranted 10 grind from
eight TO ten bushels of corn per hour,
by horse power, and much more by
steam.
The importance Of mixing the
cut hay, straw, &c, with the meal,
and of thoroughly pulverizing the
latter for ruminating animals, is not
only proved by experience, but is
also made manifest by their physio-
logical structure. Grain fed TO them
alone passes on directly 10 the third
stomach, having been but slightly
acted on by the gastric juice, and is
often voded whole and unaltered, |
without any profit TO the animal
Rough food, however, remains IN the
first stomach of the animal until it
has repeatedly been raised and re-
chewed, and passes on slowly through
the complicated organs Of digestion
and assimilation peculiar 10 this class
of quadrupeds and when The grain is
comminuted and mixed
with ii, il follows the same road of
course, and has much better chance
OF being thoroughly digesled. -Pied-
