MILKING COws,-As the milking season will
soon commence, and farmers have more or less
fresh COWS to break ill.," we would say, that
the best way to do it, is to refrain from all
harsh measures, never beating them-it does
no good. 1t is far better to have patience
and be kind and gentle to them. A good
many kicking cows may thus be turned from
the error Of their ways and become kind and
gentle,
1t is frequently the case when cows come in
with flush of milk that their teats become cord
ed, or as some farmers say, grow up we have
lost several in this way. The remedy is to
wash the udder in warm water, and oil it with
opossum fat, use quills as tubes and if all fail
to make the milk flow, cut the teats off to the
udder. Cruel, it is true, but it saves her for
beef Yankee Farmer

To SAVE PEACH TREEs.-A writer in the
New York Times recommends the sowing OF
Tansy about the roots of Peach Trees as a
means of preserving them He says he once
knew large peach tree which was more than
forty years DID, while several generations of
similar trees in the same soil, had passed away
This led to an examination about the trunk
1t was naturally inferred that the preservation
OF this tree to such green old age, was
attributed TO the presence of this plant. 1t
was decided to try the experiment on others,
and accordingly few of the roots were placed
about each of the other trees on the premises
some of which gave signs of decay. Not only
has it preserved for several years the sound
trees, but renovated those that were unsound
The odor of the plant, he says, doubtless keeps
off the insect enemies of this kind of tree, and
it might have the same effect on Others, as the
plum, apple and pear, as well as the elm, syca
more, and other ornamental trees.

evils We have to contend with in our gardens
is the ravages Of the bugs in our young vines,

been tried with more or less success, according
to the time and care bestowed upon them 1t
is an old saying that a fat calf is not lousy, y
on that principle l suppose that plant or vine
growing vigorously without any check, on being
put back by transplanting or other cause, will
not be injured by the bugs Such l found to
be the ease with my vines last year, and the
method took to insure rapid and vigorous
growth was new to me, and may be to others.

Use ALL Your LASD-How often do we
see men adding acre to acre, for the mere
sake Of having large farm to cultivate, when
they have never yet titled one half of the land
which they possessed in the first place They
have cultivated perhaps, five or six inches of the
surface, and have never made the least use of
the eight, ten or perhaps twelve inches which
lie Immediately below it. a few years ago
there was premium offered in Kentucky for
the best ten acres of corn. The average crop
OF the competitors was l22 bushels per acre
Now if that quantity Of corn can be produced
on an acre. is it not folly for You, intelligent
reader to add more land to that which you
already possess, until you have made the latter
capable of producing that number Of bushels,
or as near it as may be? You know very well
that you can raise these 1872 bushels a great
deal moro cheaply off one acre than if You had
to cultivate three or four for that purpose
Why then buy more land until you have
brought under cultivation what you already
have, both surface and sub-soi The latter
may not be very productive when you first
throw it up, but by proper treatment you can
most aSsurcdly make it so, unless it is of very
peculiar character
