Fruit Culture.

Fruit culture is at present engaging the
attention of scientific as well as business and
trading men. Its importance has increased
to an unparalleled extent during the last few
years, owing to the great improvement made
in varieties and culture, giving fruit and i'm
portancc before unknown. A distinguished
author upon the subject makes the following
very truthful remarks: 'Fine fruit is the
flower accommodates. 1t is the most perfect
union of the useful and the beautiful that
earth knows trees full of soft foliage, bios
SONS fresh with spring beauty and finally,
fruit, rich bloom busted; melting and lus-
cious--such are the treasures of the orchard
and garden, temptingly offered to every land
holder in this bright and sunny, though
temperate climate" Its importance should
be known and felt by every farmer, trades
man and mechanic VIII possesses an acre Of
ground.
Our old orchards and the great majority
of our younng ones are at present either seed
ling trees, or have engraftcd in an imperfect
and bungling manner, having only here and
there limb that bears valuable fruit En-
grating is by far the most speedy way to
obtain u permanent supply Of choice fruits.
1t follows, therefore, that complete sy stem of
engrafting is Of the utmost importance TO all
fruit growers By the aid of genealogical
societies and conventions all the defects of
the system have been corrected, so that it
can at present be due only to gross ignorance
or fraudulent deception that any considerable
mistake can occur in regard to varieties, &c.
Another error that needs correction is the
neglect of poper pruning. Our engrafter
says: THE spring after the gratis are in
serted, remove all unengrafted limbs in the
immediate vicinity of the gratis, giving them
full supply Of zap. also the inyigorating
rays of the sun. But leave the lower limbs
to shade the body Of the tree and absorb the
surplus sap, unuil the following spring, when
the gratis will be sufficiently grown TO form
a new top to the tree, when the remainder
may be removed. When the trees are large
it is sometimes necessary to let q portion of
the uncngraited limbs remain until the third
spring from engrafting. The wounds oc-
casioned by removing large limbs should be
covered with the following composition -
Take one quart of pure alcohol and desolvc
az much gum sheIlac in it as possible; keep
it in tight bottle and Use it with q common
paint brush.' j. b. +.

shearing Sheep Properly.

B. II. Johnson publishes his mode Of
shearing sheep in the Ohio Farmer, and we
extract therefrom the rules by which he
thinks those conducting this branch Of farm
economy should be- governed:
l. In shearing time, do not pen your sheep
more than half day at time. To do SO
makes them weak, irritable, and difficult to
shear.
2. think the best plan 10 shear is on a
platform sixteen or eighteen inches high
The sheep should sit on the table and rest
its back and head on the left leg ; the left
leg is on the table the right on the floor
Commence cuttitg the wool at the brisket.
shcaring along the belly, letting the wool
roll to the left, where it will be out of the
way. When this is done shear the flank !;
then commence at the point of the shoulder,
and run the shears to the right ear; shear
the neck TO the left ear, and the left side as
far as the backbone. Now change sides
with the sheep, standing the right foot on
the table, and finish the neck. Now shear
leg. In this way the fleece is kept whole /;
the sheep is turned but little, thus avoiding
struggling, tearing of the fleece and injury
to the animal Within the last eight years
have sheard five thousand sheep without
having fleece kicked to pieces, and seldom
cut sheep. There is no excuse for cutting
fat sheep. When badly cut they will al
ways kick, and then the shearer will pound
them with his shears or fist The kinder
you treat a sheep the better they behave
Many wool growers want their sheep shcarcd
very close to the hide, but this is not well
for the sheep nor for the next growth ofwool
When shearcd close, the hot sun Injuries them
materially

FRIEND TELEGRAPH We lately tried a
new receipt for making soap-new at least to
us--and "a we have had such good success,
thought it would be well to send you the
moans operandt for the Housepeeper's dc
partment for your paper.
Pour four gallons of boiling water over
six pounds ofwashing- and three pounds
of unslackcd lime stir the mixture well
and let IL settle until it is perfectly clear. 1t
is better TO let it set all night, as it takes
some time for the sediment to settle. When
clear, drain the water off, put six pounds of
fat with it, and boil for two hours, stirring
it most Of the time. If Il doesnot seem thin
enough, put another bucket ON the grounds,
stir and drain off and add is wanted TO the
boiling mixture It's thickness can be tried
by putting little 90 plate to cool occa.
sionly. Stir in a handful of salt just before
taking OF the fire. Have tub ready soaked

The Potato Disease.


From an elaborate article in recent num-
Der OF the Journal Of the West of England
Society, on thr Potato culture, from the pen
OF DR. Lang, in which many curious and i'm
portant truths are discussed, the following
may be regarded as conclusions dcduced from
his treatment of the whole subject
]. The dcsirability of early planting in
dry, clean, and wcll-prepared ground
2. That white potatoes are least liable TO
the disease, and therefore to be preferred TO
the colored sorts.
8. That the soil in no case produces or
influences the disease.
a. That the disease is of fungoid char
ter, investing many varieties of plants,
and increased in activity by atmospheric
causes.
s. That all heterogeneous manures are in
furious.
@. That lime and salt, mixed in the pro-
portion of eighttons of lime with three hun
dred weight of common salt, is the best
manure; and this is the proportion used 10
the acre.
7. That potatoes that ripen earliest should
be exclusively grown.
g. That as soon as the disease appears,
earthen up the stalks repeatedly with fine
earth from the centre of the trench. is the
only cffectual preventive to its ravages. To
this operation the author consequently at
taches the creates importance
9. That when exhumed, sunlight appears
to arrest the progress of the murrain, and
prevents the fulther decomposition of the
tuber.

Biddy's Troubles.

ITOuOlCS'
'Its thru for me, Katy, that never seed
the like of this people afore It's sorry
time I've been having since coming to this
house, twelve months agone this week
Thursday. Yer honor knew, that my fourth
cousin, Ann Mccarthy, recommended me to
Mrs. Whalcr, and told the lady that knew
about gentcel housework and the likes {;
while, at the same time, had nivcr seed
inter an American ladys kitchen. So she
engaged me, and my heart was jist ready to
burst with grief for the story that Ann had
told for Mrs. Whaler was swatc spoken
lady and never looked cross-like in her life
that know her by her smooth kind face.
Well; Jest the first thing she told me to do
after had dressed the children, was to dress
the ducks for dinner. l stood looking at
the lady for couple of minutes, before |
could make out any meaning at all to her
words. Thin l went searching after clothes
for the ducks; and such n time as | had to
hc sure. High and low | went till at last
my mistress aXcd me for what was looking;
and | told her the clothes for the ducks to
be sure. Och, how she screamed and laughed
till my face was as rid as the sun wild shame,
and she showed me in her kind swatc way
what her meaning was. Thin she told me
how to air the beds, and it was day for
chamber alone and clare up the rooms
One day Mrs. WhaerSaid to me. "Biddy'
an ye may give the Saby an airin. if yccs
will"
What should do--and it's tru what ]
am saying this blessed minute-but go up
stairs wild the child, and shake it and then
howld it ont of the windcr. Such u scream
ing and kicking as the baby gave-but l
hid on the harder. livery body thin in the
stratc looked up at me; at last mistress
came up to sec what for was so much noise !;
Il am thriving to air the baby said, "but
it kicks and scrames dridiully."
There was company down below, and
whin Mrs. Whaler told them what l had
been afther doing, thought they would
scare the folks in the stratc with screaming.
"And then / was told ! must do up Mr..
Whalcrs shirts one day, when my mistress
was out shopping. She told me repeatedly
to do thin up nice for master was goin'
away; so takes the shirts and did them all
up in some paper that was afthcr bringing
from the ould country wild me, and tied
some nice pink ribbon about the bundle.
Where arc the shirts, Biddy,' axed Mrs.
Whalcr when she come home.
Il have been doin' them up in QUAR- nice
way" l said, bringing her the bundle.
"Will you iver be done wild your Crane
ness 2" she axed me with loud scramc,
II can't for the life of me, be tcllin' what
their talking names. At home, VIC call the
likes of this fine work, starching-and deal
of it | have done to. Och and may the
blessed Virgin pity me, for l neycrll be

STEPPING BARLEY BEFORE SowS.--A
writer in the Homestead recommends that
seed barley should be stepped before sowing
in a solution of copperas or blue viterol, the
same as is often done for wheat, and then
rolled in plaster enough to dry it, He says
it has the effect of giving it rapid start, and
makes it'come up strong and dark -colored.
He thinks the benefit equal to ten extra
loads of manure per acre.
