Winter Protection Of Trees and Plants.

We give the following directions from the
AWiculturiSt, with the remark that it is not
yet too late to put them in practice if they
have been hitherto neglected. The sun 10
February and March has so much powoc,
while the nights are yet SO Geld, that more
mischief is then done by fleeing and thaw-
ing than in the two previous months. We
have known raspberry plants which had with
stood the Vicissituds OF whole winter, killed
by u severe frost in April.
Fruit and ornamental trees planted this
fall are benefited by mound Of earth foot
high thrown up around the trunk. Let this
earth be brought to the tree from another
quarter, rot taken off from the extremities
of the roots and so exposing them, as is too
often done. Such mound will keep the
trees steady against the wind, and protect
the trunks from the inroads Of mice. Gun
ming as these Verm in are, they don't know
enough to ascend bank Of fresh earth in
search of green fodder. FOR pear tress, sub
ject as they are to frozen sap-blight, We would
suggest the additional defence Of light
board or section Of bark set up against the
south side Of the trunks. A hay-band wound
on loosely answers a good purpose. Dwarf
pears need special care in winter, if the
ground continues bare. Their roots need a
coveringof manure or o mound Of earth.
AS TO cherry trees, do the best you Ca,
and even thon, expect some injury and loss in
the northern states. For the splitting Of the
trunk, SO common, the protection recommend
cd for the pear tree is worthy of trial.
Grape vines rot perfectly hardy should be
laid on the ground and fastened there, and
then covered with litter or a few inches Of
soil. So Of tender roses and shrubs; they
may be bundled up in straw, Or covered with
mating or evergreen bOughs, but they arr
generally safer if bent to the ground end COY
Vled with little earth

Getting in tlc wheat, strangor--youil
find 'cm all down in the field about mile
from here
then concluded [ would try the hotel,
and carried my carpot-bag to the public
house. There was notice On tho door, say
ing that the house was closed for week. as
the proprietor was getting in his wheat
Things began to look desperate now. [ had
carried my carpot-bag about five miles al
ready, in the hot sun, and it was growing
momontarily heavier.
So when l saw boy coming toward the
house, | made up my mind to give him q
dollar to carry it for mo; but he guessed I'd
have to wait till dad got his wheat in.
At this stage Of proceedings, | resolved to
walk to the first house l saw, and demand, in
the name Of civilization, the hospitality due
to traveller. AS the house happened to be
a boarding school for young ladies, was
fortunate enough to secure q nights rest;
and the next day, as everybody was getting
in his wheat, [ left for homo, resolved never
to return there when people were harvesting

Crops in Eastern Vermont.

While portions Of our country, and even
of our own State, have suffered from the ef-
fects of drought the past season, We who are
favored with soil unequal in smoothness,
and uncquallcd in fertility and capacity to
endure the effects Of extreme heat and cold,
flood and drought, by almost any portion of
our country, are rejoicing in well stored barns
and granarcs. Though our hay crop is less
than an average by say one,dfth, the quality
is unusually good, and VIC have at least an ay-
crage supply for our stock. Our smaller
grains are almost without parallel, even on
our own fertile hillsides. Wheat (spriDg)
ranges from 80 to 40 bushels, and in some
cases even more, per acre of unusually good
quality, Oats from 60 to 100 bushels per
acre; some fields 90 even higher than this.
so bushels is very common yield, Rye
and barley also fully repay all the pains be-.
slowed upon them. Corn is full an average
crop, and the fodder is secured much better
than it often is, SO that VIC can winter as
much stock as generally.
Now what will cur poor kinsfolk on the
naturally barren pine plains and white birch
hillSides Of Massachusetts say to 100 bushels
of oats per acre--75 Tor an average? 40 bush
els Of the finest wheat? 80 to IS bushels OF
corn Is to 20 oxoads of pumpkins per
acre? True, they can sell what straw thew
raise, and get moro for their oats But how
many of them think they can afford TO feed
vut all the grain they raise, while they strive
to raise all they can feed ? True, you have
advantages over US, and we have more over
you, We can better afford to feed them here,
and send you our butter, and cheese, and beef
and pork Think not to buy cur oats for a

song though our grancries groan with their
burdens. We have learned that as bread is
the staff Of life, so manure is the staff OF the
farmer, and that grain is the grand producer
OF good manure You may sell your berries,
cherries, and plums from your worn-Out lands
at great prices, and then pay your 8 to 10
per cent interest. We can find means to pay
our 6 per cent, "a plenty at Ihat by selling
you butter at 20 cents and pork at 7 cents,
nett, and then have the pleasure Of seeing
our colts going to Napoleon, and our nags to
your cities, to draw the solid men Of Boston,
who have plenty of money to pay for them
Come, brother farmers, in Eastern Yer,
mont, who have plenty OF grain, let US feed
it to our stock, unless we can get fair prices,
and then sell but little, and see if our future
crops do not show us better return than the
Spectator does. p J.

Chickens Serve these exactly according
to the above directions, only that they re-
quiro less room; but that room must be
equally well ventilated and porches must
also be made for them to rooat npon There
should be just light enough for a cock to
crow by in the morning, and nothing more,
as excessive growing is fatal to young
cocks lattening as is turkeys gobbling and
strutting. A change Of food by an OCCASION
al scattering Of whole dry grains Of some
sort may be given to chickcng, and also tur-
keys, but they will after little time prefer
the mash as above described, and to much
greater advantage. We may also add that
with both chickens and turkeys an occasional,
say daily ration Of c&bbago-oaycs or turnip-
tops may be given them They like these
as change or salad They arc also pal

quality in them, they promote digestion and

leaves or tllniptops daily, and plenty Of
clean water in largo trough well washed out
every day. They need no roosting poles Of
course.
Without ventilation and cleanliness, 80
important in fattening, no perfectly good
poultry flesh can be obtained We know il is
quite commonwith many pooplo--particular.
y country tayorn-keopers-to cram their
chickens and other poultry into narrow and
close boxes Or c0ops, throw whole grain in
any quantity upon the floor, with q saucer or
little basin Of water once a day, and think
they will 1atten we'll on that. But they are
wonderfully mistaken. The air they breathe
is fetid with tho stencil Of the fowls; the
food fairly smells before they cat it, and the
whole flesh is tainted with the foul food, foul
air and foul water, We have sat down to a
table with such poultry cooked upon it, and
the smell was as bad as that of tho coop they
