WHEN TO APPLY LIME-A Chester
county, Pa, correspondent of the German
town Telegraph says his method to apply
lime to the grass during the fall or spring
after the wheat is taken off, at the rate Of
100 bushels of air or weather slaked lime
per acre. He generally commences sprea-
ding about the end of October or begin
ming of November, when he has time. He
usually lines one field every year, and as
the farm is laid off into eleven fields, all
the land receives dressing of lime every
eleven years.
lie seems to be of the opinion that it
would be better to apply oftener and in
smaller doses, but offers no facts in favor
of this view.

TRIMMING UP FRUIT TREEs.-An or.
namental tree should seldom be touched
with saw or pruning knife. Road side
trees, and those in pastures and public
parks must be trimmed up ten or twelve
feet from the ground but lawn trees
should generally spread their limbs on all
sides in their native luxuriance.
And this for beauty. We believe, also,
that for simple utility, fruit trees should
have very little pruning of their lower
limbs. Doubtless, one cause of the disea--
ses to which such trees are subject, lies in
the exposure of their trunks to the hot sun.
The leaves need all the light they can get,
but not so the limbs and trunk. Keep
them cool and shaded, and the sap will
flow up and down from root and branch
uninjured. The injury from the suns
rays is probably as great ia the Winter
and early in the Spring, as in the Sum-
mer. After severe frosty night in March
let the bright sun shine upon the bark Of
pear or cherry tree, and it will be quite
sure to burst it. In the north where VIC
now write, I'VE can count thousands of trt e.
apples, cherries, pears, horse. .chestnuts
lindens, and others-with large cracks OF
rotten places on the south side of the trunk
caused, undoubtedly, in the way above
indicated. Now, who will say that if the
lower branches had been suffered to grow
on those trees, they would not have pre-.
vented these injuries? There is benefit
to the soil, also, in the treatment we re-
commend. 1t is kept moist, cool, open
and in favorable condition for the growth
of roots. Grass and weeds make but lit
tie trouble. Mulching is seldom needed.
Low headed trees are seldom apt to
blow over. The blossoms and fruit are
less liable to be blown off by high winds
Ifinsects invade the branches, they can
be more easily reached and exterminated.
Grating can be done with great facility.
Fruit can be gathered with much ease,
and that which falls to the ground gets
little injury. The bark of such trees is
less likely to be infested with vermin, be-
cause it is bright and smooth, and of
course there is little or no need of scrapng
and washing the trunk and limbs. We
n1, al
ger lived and more productive than those
trimmed up. The only objection we have
heard is, that in such fruit garden or
orchard, nothing else can be grown be-
tween the trees.-Well, there ought not
to be. A well managed fruit garden is the
most productive part of a mans farm, and
ought to be satisfied with it.-Amerlcan

PLowING IN BUCKwHEAT.-Is buck
wheat good fertilizer, plowed in when
it is in blossom Ifso, how long should
it remain before it will do to sow another
crop? How much seed should be sown to
the acre?" These questions are asked
the Boston Caitivator by a correspondent.
The editor replies -" 1t is a common idea
that buckwheat plowed in, fertilizes the
land, and we will not deny that such in
some cases is the effect, but we have never
seen proof of it, although we have seen ma
ny crops plowed in. To settle the ques-
ton, it would be necessary to leave por-
tions of field without plowing in the crop.
The fairest way would be to have the field
laid out in lots, with the buckwheat plowed
in on every other one, and the other lots
left without anything. We were called
the other day to look at the grass on some
land where very heavy crop of buck
wheat was plowed in while in blossom last
year. The grass seed was sown soon at-
ter the buckwheat was plowed in. 1t has
really done nothing although other grass,
on each side of the buckwheat piece, in
the same field has grown well. That on
the buckwheat ground looks yellow and
has hardly made height enough in the
whole season to be cut with scythc. We
shall be glad to learn the results of anv
careful experiments in regard to the ques-
tion,"
