BsyH Some over wise people have an idea
that when a tree gets moSsy and bark-bound,
the latter another term for the want of growth
and weakness consequent upon neglected cult
yation-it is only necessary TO slit the bark up
and down the stem with a jack-knife, and it
will at once spread out and grow This is
sheer nonsense. Dig about and cultivate the
roots, and the bark will take care ofitSelf with
a scraping of the moss, and washing of the
stem with ley or soap suds, or chamber
slOpS, which last is quite as good. The in
creased flow of the sap induced by liberal
feeding of the roots will do its own bursting of
the hide-bound bark, which is simply its enfee-
bled condition as a consequence Of its poverty of
root No one thinks of turning out a bony,
half-starvcd calf in the spring, into the clover
field, with the skin on its side split through
with knife, in order to add to its growth
But this last proposition is quite as sensible
and philosophical as the other Nature takes
care OF its elf in these particulars. Sap in
plants is what the blood is to animals. Its
vigorous flow reaches every part of its compo-
sition, and gives to each its proper play and
function We can show frequent instances of
a decrepid shrivelIed branch, by the throwing
open and manuring of the roots, and thorough
pruning of the whole top, increasing from an
inch, to two inches in diameter in single sea-
son; and without assistance it grew, bursting
and throwing off its old contracted bark as
freely as the growth of vigorous asparagus
shoot will develop itself during a warm shower
in May. Such nostrunlS are only the inven-
tion of the head to the laziness of the hands

free use of salaratus in cooking, many of the
diseases to which children and adults are sub

FARMERS CREED-I believe in small farms
and thorough cultivation
believe that the soil loves to eat, as well as
its owner, and ought, therefore, to be manur-
ed.
believe iii large crops, which leaves the
land better than they found it, making both
the farmer and the farm rich at once
believe in going to the bottom Of things,
and, therefore, in deep plowing, and enough of
it, all the better if with subsoil plow.
| believe that every farmer should own a
good farm.
| believe that the best fertilizer of any soil
is a spirit of industry, enterprise and inteli-
gence Without this, lime and gypsum, bones
and green manure, mari and guano, will be of
little use.
l believe in good fences, good barns, good
farm houses, good stock good orchards, and
children enough TO gather the fruit
| believe in clean kitchen neat wife in it,
a spinning piano, a clean dairy and a clear
conscience.
l believe in farmers that will improve their
farms, that grow poorer every year, starving
cattle farmers boys turned into clerks and
merchants, and farmers daughters unwilling to
work: and in all farmers that are ashamed of
of their vocation, or who drink whskey till all
honest men are ashamed of them
| will also add believe in supporting our
County and State Agricultural Societies.
| believe in having well filled agricultural
library.
| believe in supporting the agricultural
papers OF our State, paying for them, reading
them, and circulating them among my neighbors

GRAPES IN CoNsUMProN.-The use of grapes
as an article of food is much recommended in
cases of consumption. They contain large
quantity of grape sugar, the kind which most
nearly resembles milk sugar in its character
ahd composition, which also is very useful for
consumptives, it having great attraction for
oxygen, and, therefore, readily atfording ma
terials for respiration.

To PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF CArrLE.-Feed
all animals regularly. They do not only look
for their food at the usual time, but the stomach
indicates the want at the stated period. There
fore feed morning, noon and evening, as near the
same time as possible.
Guard against the wide & injurious extremes
of satiating with excess and starving with want
Food should be Of a suitable quality, and pro-
portioned to the growth, and fattening of
animals, to their production in young, and milk,
and to their labor or exercise. Animals that
labor need far more food, and that which is far
more nutritious, than those that are idle.
In dry time, see that the animals have a
good supply of pure water. When the foua-
tains are low they drink the DRAWINGS of foun-
tains, streams, and passages ofwater which are
unWholesome.
If barns and stables are very tight and warm,
ventilate in mild weather, even in winter.
