TURTLE Sour FROM BEANs-Talie pints
of black Spanish beans, put them in a pot
with the proper quantity of water, boil them
until thoroughly cooked, then dip the beans
out of the pot and press them through col

and let it boil in the mixture, add little
butter, and season with salt, pepper, parsley

EXPERIMENT IL RRIGATIoN.--Hon. T. c.
Peters contributes the following account of
recent experiment in irrigation in Major
Dickinson's plan to the Country Gentle
man:
There is little sink into which the sur
face water from perhaps ten acres is drained.
When the field is plowed water is usually
carried from this sink down the slope of a
slight hill, on one side of it, in q ditch but
when in meadow it is LETT to flow off with
out much let or hindrance. The field has
been in meadow for some years and portions
have run out by reasons of the worms and
frost; and | have at times prepared to plow
it, but other work being more urgent, and
other portions yielding a fair crop of grass
1t has been left and for the last two years
the experiment tried of making it a perma-
nent meadow. A year ago last spring be-
thought me of my friend the Major, and
spending about an honr one day with aman
and q spade, ttfrned the water flowing out
of the sink round the face of the hull, as high
up as | could make it flow, and let it out
upon the grass. Last year q decided i'm
provement was manifested wherever the
water had flowed ont upon the grass Last
fall manured both above and below the
little sluce that carried the water, and to-
day have mown the grass upon the ground
on each side. l think that upon which the
water was conducted will give at least two
and a half tons TO the acre--thc man that
moved it says three tons-while the other
will not yie.d half ton; and both were in
precisely the same condition before the ex-
pertinent was begun, and, except the water
have been treated in the same manner. The
experiment cost me perhaps in all fifty cents
md little personable supervisons which
altogether would not he equal to two hours
get for it over five tons of hay extra this
year, and with little more trouble l shall
cover nearly double the surface and make al
increasing profit.

AGRICULTURAL.
To prepare Trees for PLANTING


With sharp knife cut of, sloping from
the under side any bruised or broken roots,
then reduce tue tops to correspond with the
loss Of roots, cutting of surplus branches,
and reducing those forming the head to
three or four buds on each of last wears
shoots. This will cause more healthy and
vigorous growth the first season-its omis-
sion is common cause OF the failure or
sickly growth of newly planted trees.
In setting let one person hold the tree in
its position While another fills in the mellow
earth, pressing it tirmly among the roots
with the hand, taking care to leave no cavi-
ties undcrneath-and when the roots are all
covered, prcssing.thc whole down firmly with
the foot
Avoid deep plantng--when all is finished
the tree should be no deeper than when in
the nursery.
Grapevines.shoud be cut back to two or
three eyes, and only one of these be permit
ted to grow the first year.
Raspberries and Blackbcrries should be
cut back to within one foot of the ground.
Gooseberries and currants should be cut
back to one or two eyes of the last seasons
growth.
The time for planting in the autumn is
after the first hard frost until the ground is
closed, from the Goth of October to the last
of November in Ohio; or any time in the
spring before the opening of the buds. Trees
procured in the fall may be kept safely for
planting in the spring by burrying them hall
their length in mellow earth, in Il sloping
position, where no water is liable to stand
slight covering of brush or forest leaves
over the tops will be of service in case the
winter should prove severe. Small brushes
like raspberries, grapes, &c, may be buried
entirely in Garth.
Trees planted in the fall should have earth
hilled up around the stems, six inches or
more in heighth, to hold them firmly in po-
sition during winter, and protects the roots
somewhat from frost and excess of wet This
is also protection against injury by mice.
In spring the earth should be leveled, and two
or three inches of coarse manure or little
spread on the surface over the roots for q
space Of four or five feet in diameter; this
will keep the surface moist. prevent baking
and check the growth of weeds.
If planting is done rather late in sDiing
and in dry weather, it is well to give water
freely, after setting the trees rnd covering
the roots with earth, letting it settle before
finishing up; then if the surface is muchcd
as recommended no further watering is
necessary
No grass or grain crops should be grown
among fruit trees, at least until they have ar
rived at bearing size. Neglecting this pre-
caution is the most common cause of tht
failure of young orchards No farmer ex
poets hill of corn to flourish among gras
or other crops, and without cultivation
it is just as unreasonable to expect young
fruit trees to grow well in such circumstan
ces; yet how seldom do we see anything
like common sense exhib: ed in any thing =
