MiIlet.

The Massachusetts, PIoaghnaan regards
millet as a profitable and desirable farm
crop and worthy of moro extended cultiva-
ton. It grows well in sandy soil, bat
will do we'll on sitter land. 1t may be
sown any time from the first to the 9TH Of
June, and it will be ct to cut and cure af-
ter hayiug the natural grasses, say in July.
To cut and cure for hay it should not be
allowed to get ripe, but "taken in the milk. /"
To SOW for seed to ripen, about fifteen
quarts of seed is sufficient, but for fodder
SOW at least half bushel to the acre It
is to be cured in the stack like clover. It re-
quires no more skill and no more labor
than to SOW, cut and cure crop of OATS
The land should be tolerablY rich and well
prepared that is, well MANFRED and we'll
cultivated. There is not much difference
between the common and Hungarian millet
as to profit. For a fodder crop we should
hardly know which to choose, but should
prabably take the latter. Suppose you
SOW half the piece with one and half with
the other. Then after It's cut, say July or
August, run harrow over the stubble and
let it lie for the weeds to get started, and
pillow up the stubble early 10 September
and SOW in you grass seed without grain,
and the next spring SOW on clover seed.

with cultiVator or horse-hoe. The land
should be rich aud in good tilth. a bush-
ell to the acre on ordinary land. OF three
quarters Of bushel on very rich land, is
about the quantity Of seed requisite. The
drills may be made about two inches deep
aud from two to three feet apart. the seed
being two or three inches apart in drills
The one-horse drill, common at all our ag-
fieultural warehouses, is well adapted for
putting ia beans. Il has roller which
rolls or presses the earth upon the seed,
which is Of advantage. When the plants
are TWO or three inches hign, they should
be cultivated out. care being taken not to
work among them when they are vet.
We have seen accounts where conside-
rable crops of beans have been grown with
corn. by planting the seed Of both in the
hill at tie same time. The beans in This
way get good start. and mature before
the corn attains sufficient height to affect
them injurioasIy by too much shade. The
double cropping Of land in this way, how
ever. is of doubtful utility Generally a
special piece of ground to each crop viii
be found most profitable.
One Of the objections urged against q
mere general culture of BEANS is the labor
of harvesting. Beans are usually pulled
and this should be done when the latest
pods are full grown. but not dry. This
baok-aohing operation of pulling is now Oh.
waited by a handy little machine, called
the bean harvester. Il is worked by g
horse. and pulls the plants, delivering them
in a row with the roots all one way in good
order. If the weather is dry, they neeC
not be moved until time to draw them in
but if the weather is damp they should bt
stacked loosely around poles, and covered
with straw to shed rain. It will be better
to avoid stacking, if possible, since il
moving them there is apt to be loss from
Smelling. The weather, however, is otter
imperative, and if bad, will necessitatt
stacking. When this happens to be tbs
case. good way of making the stack vii
be to sci two stakes in the ground, abou
FIVE inches apart, and fill up with two lay
era of beans, so that the butts or roots vii
be between the stakes in the center, Their
draw the stakes together at the tops and
tie, Gaping with straw.

Hogs in Orehards.

The RUraL american says: 1t has been
believed that hogs are very useful in or
chards, to eat up wormy fruit that falls
We have lately heard farmer say, that Of
two orchards on his farm, the one in which
he let's his hogs run, bare him almost dou-
Die the amount of good fruit, as compared
with the one from which they we're ex-
cluded. But others doubt this. They
say the coddling moth (tbe common ap-
ple-worm (leaves the apple before it falls,
and burrows in the ground They insist
that the insect does not propagate its kind
in the apple; as it does in plums and peach
es. We beg leave to express a doubt here
We know that we have found worms IN
apples, and cannot believe that the COM
mon notions on this subject are groundless.
At any rate, we make it our yearly prao-
tice to pick up all the worm eaten fruit I'M
der few pet trees in our backyard, and
feed them to our horse and we know that
the fruit on these trees is annually improy-
ing. 10 a large orchard, we should let
the hogs pick them up. That the dung
dropped by the hogs and the little roofing
which they do are beneficial, there can be
no doubt.

Beans IS q Field Crop

Beans as a field crop are quite profitable.
They can be grown on very poor, light
lands, but the yield wall be small in com
paFison with crops grown on good soil
Some have the impression that only poor
soils are adapted to beans. They thrive
best on strong, rich soil, and under good
cultivation, they make a much more remu.
nerative crop than is generally imagined.
The bean contains much more nuHitive
matter than most other vegetables. From
the analysis of D. II. Davy, more than
half ito weight consists ia principles ct for
nutriment. Ripe beans contain according to
Eiuhof, 81 per cent. Of nutritive matter,
of which 5ois pure farjna, the rest chief

The following seasonable items are ia
ken from the Germantown Telegraph
BUDDING.-June is the time for budding
and it can be continued to the last week
in July. Cherries aud peaches grow much
reader by budding than grating. Pears
can also be budded, but for these we pre-
fer the ordinary mode of grating.
MULOHma.-Trees planted this year
should be well mulched. Grass, hay,
straw or old stable manure can be used. 1t
has an excellect effect in protecting young
trees againet drouth, from which they usu-
ally suffer SO much. Raspberries and
blaokberriea should also be deeply mulch
ed. They like cool, moist soil.
Look AFTER YoUR GRAFTs-In the
GUNNER many rapidly growing gratis be-
come 80 loaded with foliage as to break of
during a storm, and especially when Gov
cred with water. Such gratis should be
shortened by clipping off one half 9th
ers grow very slowly and feebly, which is
frequently owing to the sprouts growing
on the stock in which the gratis are sell.
Remove these as fast as they appear, and
the gratis will soon start ahead.
SUMNER PRUNIEG.-The last Of June
and the beginning Of July is the best time
to prune with the view Of producing fruit.
All bearing trees and rapid growers
should be subjected to pretty severe
shortening-in Of the branches. It usually
makes much handsomer trees, and they al
most invariably fruit two or three years
earlier with young trees and insure an an
nual crop where they are not allowed to
overbear. Of course this pruning has
reference only TO trees making considerable
young wood.
THIENING Our FRuIT.-An fruit trees
that can be readily managed on account
Of size, and oYer-bear, should have the
fruit thinned out. We 60 over our small
pear trees two or three times, removing the
least thrifty. especially where they are in
clusters. A tree that overbears seldom
produces any good fruit and is sure to be
barren or nearly so the ensuing year
whereas where only moderate crop is al
lowed 10 grow, the specimens are double
10 size, superior in quality and the tree is
likely to afford an annual yield.
