Hints for the Sensnn.

I. Attend to the summer pruning of young
apple, pear, and peach trees as well as grape
vines. By so doing, you control the energies Of
the tree or vine so as to produce no waste growth
and form heads to your liking.
II. If your fruit trees are any of them, load
ed to excess, thin out such q quantity as that
the remainder can be ripened without injury to
the tree. 1t Injuries them as much to overbear,
a. it does person to do tive days work in one
day, and generally takes one and two years to
recover.
III. Keep grape vines securely tied to their
trellis as fast as new growth appears, otherwise
the-Winds whipping them about does much in
jury.

Mrs. Parfinpfnn.

"Who is that7" said Mrs. Partington, in a
big whisper, at the performance of the oratoriO
Of Solomon. "That's Solomon" said the one
she addressed, tapping out the time on his
thumb, with the libretto. "And these in front, {"
said she, pointing to the ladies on the platform,
care some of his seven hundred wives, s'pose,
and the men up behind 'em must be the chill
dren of Israel. Well, Solomon must have been
wise man, to know how to take care of SO
many wives; but he wasn't any better than he
ought to be, if all stories are true. All, what
blessed music that is, to be sure. How much
better than that which folks hears on Week-a-
days, in the play houses, played on goddess I'D
dies" She seated herself in an attentive atti.

ting the. new gas lights round the hall, and
drumming L" Jordan" on the arm of the settee.

Women and Porpoises,

Well, it's the natur' of pOrpoises, when fe-
male gets wounded, that all the other pOrpoises
run after her, and chase her to death. They
show her DO mercy. Human natur' is the same
as fish natur' in this particler, and is as scaly,
too. When a woman gets a wound from an ar
row shot out by scandal, or envy, or malice, or
falsehood, for not keepin' her eye on the com
pass, and shapin' her course as she ought to,
men, women, boys, parsons, and tea -goin', COS
sippin' wives, pious gals and prime old maids,
all start off in full cry, like a pack of blood
hounds, after her. and tear her to pieces; and
If che earths, and has the luck to get safe into
hole fust, they howl and yell rourd it every
time she shows her nose, like so many imps OF
darkness. It's the race of charity, to see which
long legged, bilious lookin' critter can be in at
the death fust. They turn up the whites of their
eyes ike ducks in thunder, at a fox hunt it's so
wicked but gal-hunt they love dearly, it's
servin' the Lorj.-Sam Slick.

Sailing Cream for Butter.Makiug.

A writer in the Homestead reports a state
nent made at the New Haven lectures, that by
adding tablespoonful of fine salt to quart of
cream, as the latter is SKINNED from of the
milk and placed in the cream pots until enough
accumulates for churning, the time required
Tor ehurning is reduced to two or three minutes.
In trial made By the writer, he found this to
be true, and his theory Is, that the salt acts up
on the thin globules Of butter, and so dissolves
it that slight agitation breaks it, and the but
ter comes at once. The experiment can easily
be tried BY any butter maker.

Bugs and Cncumher,.

Mr Bergen, Of Long Island, recently stated
that some farmers in his neigbborhood plant a.
much as ten acres each of cucumbers, and that
the way they save them from bugs, is to use
pleHty Of seed at first, and then at four or five
successive periods they plant on a new side Of
the hill a lot more seed. This supplies an
abundance of young plants for the bugs to feed
on and they leave the stronger growing plants
untouched. When well out of the way OF
bugs, the surplus plants are dug up with the
hoe.

Renoyating old AppIe Trees.

If your fruit is bad, the sooner you fill the
tops with scions from the best varieties, the
better but do not make "Sbanghais" Of them
Graft as low as possible.
The scriptural way for the hg tree was to
"dig about it aRd dungit." No better way
can be found for the apple tree but remember
the word "abOut," and let your operations ex-
tend full as far as the utmost branches reach.
Do not dig too deep, and injure the roots un-
necessarily. Stirring the surface soil frequent
ly is what you want. Try that, and you will
be amazed at the renovation you work in old
apple trees.

sontheru and Northern CornfeIds.

A correspondent Of the Scientific American,
writing from Kentucky, communicates the fol-
lowing, which may interest our agricultural
friends:
It's curious fact that the Yankees, with all
their ingenuity, have never learned TO pio"
straight furrOw, while every negro in the South
will lay Of q field, however large, without haV-
ing q bend Of q foot in a single row. The fur
rows are not oaly straight bat parallel, the last
one in . field quarter of a mile square always
coming out parallel with the fence. AVirginia
farmer, 50 years Of age, told me that he never
had short row in bis cornfelds in his life. In
the new States, whenever you see crooked rows
you may know you are among people from New
York, New England and Ohio, and whenever
the rows are straight, you viii find that is set
Element of Southerners. This accuracy ID oW-
ing to the method of laying of the ground
lift IS desired to have the rows three and q
half feet apart, two stakes are cut, each
seven feet long, one for each edge Of
the field. One OF these il set perpendic-
slarly, seven feet from the end Of the field,
and the ploEman makes a mark there also, sew
en- feet from the end and runs his furroW straight
to the standing stake, operating in direction
to keep the unfurroWed portion of the field at
his right baud. Returning, be splits the seven
feet strip with a furrOW, thus having rouHd-or,
as the Southerners say, ''turning the haW'-
at both edges Of the field. The failure Of Nor
thernsrs to learn this simple art is mainly owing
70 the inyeterate conservatism characteristic OF
farmers-their fondness for walking in the paths
Of their fathers-but it is also partly to their
mode of guiding their horses. think that for
driving team attached to a wagon, the two or
four reins used at the North are far preferable
70 the plan Of riding the near wheel horse and
guiding the team By single line on the near
leader, which lie in universal use at the South.
But for blowing, the single linei is decidedly bet
ter than anything else have ever seen.
