Planting Corn.

We wish to offer a remark on this
subject. OF course the pains taken
to get the rows In straight lines is de-
cidedly advantageous in the after
culture, and looks like careful and
good workmanship; but in SO doing
there is often a great fault committed
in putting the grains in each hill too
close together. This is the objection
we have to nearly all the machine
corn planters which we have seen OPP
perate They are almost universally
constructed so as to deposit the seed.
in little heap, or in very close prox-
unity, which we conceive to be an err
ror; for the closeness of four or five,
necessarily prevents the roots of each
plant from getting proper share of
nutriment and moisture for its full de-
velopment This is the main reason
why drilled corn, when the plants
stand six, eight or ten inches apart in
the rows, always produce, other cir
cumstances being equal, a greater
yield than that which is planted in
hills.-Telegran,.

Gardens.

This is the season to plant and
lay out garden, and success much
depends on timely and judicous
start. Whether on the farm or town
lot there is no ground of equal space
that can be made of so much profit
and convenience as that appropriated
to the production of garden vegeta-
bles. 1t gives much satisfaction and
gratifes just and proper pride to
have these things as the product of
our own labor, besides having them
always fresh and convenient A large
portion of the living of a family, as
regards eatables, can be easily OBJ
tanned in this way, by very trihing
outlay of time and labor; besides,
spading, hoeing and raking, are the
very best and most invigorating of
gymnastic exercises, and effectually
relieve the lassitude and ennui Of sed-
entery life. Instead of taking aimless
and weary walks and lollings in car
riage, dig and hoe in the ground,
watch and cherish the growing of
good wholesome. dinners, and it will
give beautifully, both health, pleas
ure and profit.-Richnond Telegram.

Pruning when Transplanting.

We consider it important to short
en- back all fruit trees, shrubs, and
vines when transplanting. 1t lessons,
by reducing the number of buds, the
demand for supply on the roots as
soon as that laid up in the bud is ex-
hausted, and it gives increased vitali-
ty and vigor to the remaining buds, by
giving to them the supply that would
have been left to remain. There is,
however, room for study in the prac-
tice of heading in. because of the Wig
or, growth, and power of producing
strong, new shoots being much great
er In some sorts than others. The
peach, for instance, may be cut back
to within two fleet of the crown,
leaving not limb or twig, and yet the
tree in the ensuing Fall will be found,
under good cultivation, to have made
four or five strong shoots, each as
many feet long, and with abundant
lateral branches. Pursue the same
course with the apple, and nine times
out of ten the result will be only a
few feeble shoots of four to six inches,
with dead tree the following Spring.
The pear when worked on the ounce
will bear much more severe pruning
back than when on the pear stock;
and further, some varieties will Ell
dure more severe pruning than others.
The grape, when cut back two or
three buds. grows vigorously; but if
left unpfuned, it struggles year or
two, produces few imperfect
punches, and is dead. These are
some of the many variations that
an observing horticulturist will no.
tice On short practice, and which will
soon cause him to feel confidence in
transplanting trees at any age, pro-
vided he be allowed to prune them
back according to their age and hab-
its.-HOrticulturist.

Farmers, Wives.

The reading of essays by the ladies
is one of the exercises which give life
and interest to the meeting of the
Springfield, Vermont, Farmers Club.
From one of the essays by Mrs. Dan
lei Rice, published in the Vermont
Farmaer, we copy the following para
graphs: sa 50
Did you ever think of the amount
of thought required to plan three
meals day for three hundred and
sixty-ive days in succession? To
prepare enough and not too much,
and for those living at distance from
the village, to remember that the
stock of -four, sugar, tea, etc., etc., is
replenished in due time? Do you ever
think of the multitude of her cares
and duties? She must rise early to
prepare breakfast or oversee it. Per-
haps there are children to wash,
dress, and feed, or to get ready
for school with their dinner There
is baking, sweeping, busting, max
ing beds, lunch for the men.
may be-dinner and supper to be
made ready at the proper time-the
washing, starching, folding, and iron
ing of clothes-the care of milk, in
Guiding the making of butter and
cheese-and the inevitable washing
of dishes. In autumn there is the adj
ditional work of picking. preserving.
canning of fruit, drying apples, boil
ing cider, making apple sauce, with
the still more unpleasant task which
falls to her lot at butchering time.
Then there is haying, harvesting,
sheep shearing, etc, when more help
is needed, bringing an increase of her
labors. Twice year comes house
cleaning. By the way, of all the foes
housekeeper has TO contend with,
DIRT is the greatest She may gain a
complete victory and think to repose
upon her laurels after her semi-an-
nual engagements-but it is only tenn
porary. The enemy soon returns,
and even daily skirmishing does not
keep it at bay.
/ There is the n,ending. too. Sewing
machines are great blessings, but they
can't set in patch or darn stockings.
[ do not mention these things by way
of complaining of woman S lot in gen
eral, or asking for her any rights which
she does not possess. / don't know as
there is any remedy in the present
state of the world 1t seems to be
one of the evils of life which must be
borne as we bear other ills-but what
do ask is a due appreciation of the
important part that woman acts and
concession that her labors, mental
and physical, are as great. all things
considered, as those Of the other sex.
Women are not so childish that a
little sympathy now and then or ac-
acknowledgement of their efforts and
sacrifices makes them imagine their
case worse than it is. / tell you. men
