an opportunity is afforded for inspt citing
the fruit trees and shrubbery, to observe
the amount Of damage done by the win

Now is the time for pruning fruit trees
and grape vines. as directed for last
month. Most kinds of shrubbery also
may be trimmed now, when the snow is
of, and the weather pleasant, as there is
commonly more leisure for such purposes
before than atter-the- operations on the

PRUHINa AND CULTURE OF CuRRANTs.-
No fruit pays better for good culture than
the currant, yet none is, more generally
neglected. AS there is likely to be a
scarcity OF summer fruits this year, owing
e TO the destruction of the peach and cherry
buds, etc.. all who have currant bushes
should hestow upon them special atten-
tion, so as to increase their fruitfulness.
Old and neglected bushes should have
some OF the old branches cut away, SO as
TO give the young shoots chance to fill
their places, and these should be thinned
out if numerous, and shortened if long,
SO as not TO crowd each other. But es-
pecially dig out the grass, if any, about
the roots, and apply good dressing OF
manure and ashes, spading it in and
when hot weather Commences, cover the
entire surface under the bushes with tan
bark, saw dust, old leaves from the woods,
or clip dirt from an old wood pile this
o will prevent the growth of weeds, and
keep the ground moist, greatly promoting
the quantity and quality Of the fruit.
GOoseberry bushes should be treated
in u similar way, only more attention
should be given to pruning. SO as to keep
the bushes open and the leaves and fruit
freely exposed to the air-rcutting away
half of the last years shoots, and short
ening the rest one half

es should be taken off as early as possible,
selecting the shoots of the past season s
growth, and shortening the tops, say to
or 10 inches in length. They may be
placed in the cellar with the butts in earth
or sand until the ground is fit for plant-
ing. then set them in warm sandy soil,
about Two thnds Of their length in the
ground. .-r. -..- .... ..-.-. ..
Scions for grating should now be cut
and put away in u cool cellar, with the
butts in earth or sand. Where cherries
are to be grated. it should be done earlier
than is commonly practised, in order for
the best success. But we apprehend few
scions Of the larger class of cherries can
be found in Ohio at this time uninjured
by the winter. In these parts the fruit
buds and most of the young shoots are
killed. of the cherry as well as of the
peach.-O Ohio CultivQtor.

Hints to uousekeepers.

To Written TEETn.-Mix honey with
fine dry powdered charcoal and use the
paste as dentrifce.
BLACKtNG FOR SHoEs.-Three ounces
of ivory black, TWO ounces molasses, a
table spoonful sweet oil. one ounce vitriol
one ounce of gum arabic, and one pint Of
vinegar. 81 70
NERVE AND BONE L1N1MENT.-Takeo one
ounce Of spirits of turpentine, half q pint
of brandy, and one gill of nealsfoot oil
simmer over FIRE till mixed, then bottle
it for use.
Plum PUDDING.-Take one fb. each Of
flour, beef suet, sugar, currants and
raisins; four eggs, one pint of milk, spice
10 the taste tie in bag, allow no room
for swelling, and boil four hours. Thi.
rule is from an English family.
VINEGAR.-A writer in the Boston Cul.
tivatur proposes the following method BY
which he thinks the best vinegar can be
procured at a trifling expense
The juice Of one bushel of sugar beets
worth twenty-five cents, aud which any
ialmer can raise with little cost, will max,
from five to six gallons Of vinegar, equa
TO the hest made up elder wine. First
wash and CRATE the beets, and express the
juice in a cheese press, or in any oIheI
way which little ingenuity can suggest
and put the liquor into barrel cover
with gauze and set it in the sun, and il
fifteen or twenty days it will be fit for use
By this method the very best of vinegar
can be obtained without any great trou
BILE and hope all who like good vinegar
will try it,"
