Fruit Prospects in the East.

The Ohio Farmer says: Never was the
prospect ola good crop of fruit in the vicin
ity Of the lake better than it is now. Apple
trees are mass Of flowers. Pears have Sc,
well. Peaches doomed profusely, and ars
now setting fruit Apricots set well, in spite
of the frost during thcir, time of towering
Plums will be absolutely loaded, unless the
cureculio thins them off-whch it will be
sure to- do, ifin fact it don't take the whole
crop. Cherries look well, the early sorts
being well set; and Strawberries are now in
full bloom. Should no untoward accident
happen, we will have an abundance of de-
licious fruit this season.
o The prospect in our Valley, Of a good
crop Of such as we have, we think is good,
Of the wild fruit we will have fare crop of
wild Plums, Crab-apples and we see that the
wild Gooseberries are loaded and of good
size, and we think will escape the mildew.-
The wild Strawberries are blooming very
full. And the cultivated varieties are doing
finely. The fine varieties of Strawberries
ara blooming very freely. Grapes are load
ed. Currents, and Rosebushes, are bearing
,profusely, and should we have occasionally a
shower, our prospects will be good for fruit.

Sweet Potato seea from the Bloom.

Collin Wood, in The Plow, the Loom, and
the Anvil says that he has raised, for three
years past sweet potatoes, of better quality
than usaul, in the following way, viz:
The yam potato vine blooms in August
in about month thereafter they form a pod
the seeds are then formed about the size Of
sage seed and of the same color. The pod
should be noticed and gathered when ripe
or else they will drop. In the spring, at the
usal time of sowing seed, sow tn m in the
samew way | sow cabbage seed They will not
come up quiteas soon, but will continue doing
so through the spring. The plant is small and
delicate in appearance, and should be drawn
in wet season, with little dirt attached to
it, and transplanted. The leaf and vine have
different appearance from the potato usually,
and the potato will be found to grow larger
and smoother than usual
prefer this method after satisfactory prac.
tice to raise the potato, than any other.

Fodder---Oats.

One of the most wasteful practices in re.
gard to fodder, is the present practice of cut
ting and feeding oats. They are usually al
lowed to stand till ripe, and the stalk yellow,
and then cut, threshed, and the straw, of lit
tie value, used for bedding or litter. If oats
are cut when little green, and then well
cured, the straw is the very best of fodder
Feed oats, thus cut and cured, in the sheaf,
to horses, and they will eat the straw in pref
erence to hay; and farmer saves the trouble
and expense of threshing, and his oat straw
is worth as much as its weight of the best OF
hay. 1t is far better to be thus fed to horses
than to feed them shelled oats and hay. To
be good, however, it should be cut before
quite ripe, and then well cured, so as to pre-
vent must. By this course, he loses none Of
his oats by shelling, and converts his straw
irto the best of fodder Ohio Farmer.

Culture Of Flowers.

In sowing flower seeds, much care and
judgment is necessary, and many failures are
to be expected, owing to the delicate nature
of many kinds. The soil should be rich and
deep, and made very fine and mellow The
larger seeds, like Balsamine, &c. should be coy
cred aboutsa quarter Of an inch in depth
but the finer kinds, like Petunia, Partulaca,
&C., must only be barely covered with the
finest and mellow soil, OF. they will not yege-
tate-and then being SO near the surface, a
single day Of sunshine will scorch them to
death, if care is not taken to SHADE them
This may be done by placing some small
bits of thin boards Or other articles over
the spots, where the seeds are sown. Care
should be taken to keep the soil moist by
gentle waterings in dry weather. Keep the
heads clear Of weeds, and loosen the earth
frequently, if inclined to become hard.

Overwhelming Horses.

A writer in the N E. Farmer, who is a
blacksmith, cures over-reaching horses, and
increases their trotting speed fifteen or TWEEN
ty seconds per mile by the following mode OF
shoeing, which increases the motion of the
forward feet, and retains the motion of the
hind ones. He makes the toe-caulks very
low, standing little under, and the shoes set
as far backward as convenient on the forward
feet, with high heel caulkS, so as to let them
roll over as soon as possible. On the hind
feet the heel-caulk is low and the toe-caulk
high and projected forward. Horses shod
thus travel clean, with no click

On Ventilation.

The Albany County Gentleman contains q
capital article on this subject, with diagrams
After referring to the injurious effects of our
present style of parlor stoves. which require
a current of air through the crevices of doors
and windows into our rooms, causing cold
feet, and an accumulation of hot air above
proposes remedy, as follows:
"A space shall be left in the floor, SO that q
hearth of brick may be laid some inches be.
low the surface. On this hearth the stove
shall be directly set, without the Intervention
of legs Just above this hearth, and below
the floor, wooden tub shall lead to the air
outside the house, the portion next the stove
being sheet iron, and supplying air for COM
bustion by passing directly into the stove.-
This will entirely obviate the necessity of cold
streams of air from window cracks, to feed
the fire. The air through another tube, or a
portion of the same, may be admitted on diff
ferent sides of the stove, and in contact with
its lowest portions, for becoming heated to
warm the room. This would also tend to
obviate cold currents, because the fresh air
coming in from below, would pass out through
higher crevices, instead Of entering them
The addition OF register near the ceiling,
would, II necessary, render the ventilation
complete. There would be another impor-
tant advantage in this arrangement, on the
score economy. We have found by exper
iment, that stove placed on stand two feet
high from the floor, required twice rs much
fuel as when placed down level with the floor
to render the room comfortable, so difficult is
the heated air to decend. If, therefore, the
stove were placed actually below the floor,
the lower stratum of air next the floor, would
be warmed with greater facility.
This contrvence would afford the conven-
fences of hot-air furnace already mention in
this article, with less consumption of fuel
without unduly warming the cellar, and with.
out the trouble Of running down stairs every
time the tire needs replenishing or regulat-
ing.

waste of time, and for the want gilmore head

And we will add, that we want more mer

to the world. Men of energy, of thought, o.
sound economy and deep calculations, help
the world along BY their influence and exam

Drouth.

We notice by our exchanges that the
drought through New England is causing
great trouble to farmers, who, in some parts
of New Hampshire, drive their cattle many
miles for water In Maine it is dry, dusty
smokey, warm. In Vermont the complaint
ofan uncommonly dry season. In New York,
dry. In Ohio some fine showers, and crops
are growing finely. In the South, very dry.
In Tennessee, Missouri, Louisiana and Texas,
they have had heavy frosts, which have dam
aged crops. In our own State, old settlers
say, they never knew so little rain fall as has
this spring. The rain we had on Sunday
last, has done great deal of good for eur
crops dill U JILL jll&l
