ThInnIng Fruit.

Every farmer knows his Hocks and
herds do better by selecting out the small
err and weaker ones, and the principle is
one that applies with special force to the
iudicious thinning of all kinds of fruit
Many years ago an experienced and
practical fruit grower in Pennsylvania
made a statement that by going over his
grape vines and taking out two-thirds OF
the smaller grapes upon the punches or
clusters, the remaining grapes made far
better and heavier clusters than they
would have done had the entire number
of the bunch been allowed to grow. If
the statement that the removal of so
large a number of grapes from clus-
ter seems rather too many to thin out, the
following excellent hints from the Hort.
culturisf upon thinning fruit, will cer-
tainly be regarded as wise and sensi-
bic
"If large and choice well-aavored fruit
is wanted Of any kind, it must be thinned
ont, removing few at time from every
part of the tree, 80 as TO leave the residue
pretty evenly distributed. The work can
not be all performed at once, and 1t there
fore should be commenced early in the
season, the operator going over his trees,
bushes or vines from time TO time, remov-
ing now one here, and One there, as the eye
meets it, and the evidence appears OF the
advantage obtained by its removal. Early
thinning, before the strength OF the cree o.. or
vine il taxed in the stoning OF seeding, wall
avail much more than the same course al
terward"

The Maine Farmer says The impor-
lance of fodder corn for stock during the
Inter part Of the summer and early iail
is acknowledged by almost every farmer,
though there are many who still neglect
to plant it Succulent food is most valu-
able for mich cows and young stock
The highest point to which we can well
arrive in this department of farming
operations will be when we can so arrange
our productions as to have supply OF
fresh feed for cattle the year round. The
early grass Of spring fails by midsummer,
the fodder comes into play for three
months. then the corn fodder from our
crops, when blank winter comes which re
quires well cured clover hay, turnips and
carrots. With some such an arrangement
as this we will warrant sleek looking cat

and 80 that il will come out Of the NOW

fragrance of newly-mown hay. This he
barns, to be used for COWS giving milk in
spring, before turning out to pasture.
He used TO feed his cows in spring with
grains, ship-stnffs, ete.-of;en what would
be called high feeding found It to
result in various troubles and serious losses;
garpet attacked the udder, ill-health pre-
vailed in various ways, and his COWS gave
out sooner than they ought. He then
changed to his present system of feeding,
and with the most happy results. His
cows are healthy, they Keep in flesh, they
yield good supply Of milk, and it is all
done with much less expense than the grain
feeding.
Now, can mich COWS be kept in good
condition through the spring in this way
The generally received opinion is that they
cannot; bat Mr.. Lewis stock demonstrates
bis theory. His cows to-day NAY 49, are
in gooG flesh, thrifty, healthy and strong,
and yet they have not had a mouthful of
grain, or any other feed than " dried grass"
We looked through the herd and saw them
MIXED, and must confess that no fault
could be found with the appearance Of the
stock, or the quantity of milk given. Now,
the practical question here is, whether this
system Of spring feeding is an improvement
over that usually practIced. The expense
Of feeding is very much less, but that per-
haps is not Of 50 much importance as the
general health and thrift of the animals.
With dairy stock at $50 to 500 per head,
the importance of health and thrift in
herd will be appreciated.
We have given the facts, and they may
perhaps be suggestive to those who have
been paying out large sums for grain to
feed, and who perhaps have troubles in
their herds for which they are unable TO
account. If the system adopted by Mr.
Lewis is the true one-and he contends
that it is-then it should be generally in
troduced. To say the least, it is worth the
testing, and onr stockmen and dairymen
will do well to make some provision the
coming season for harvesting a crop Of
" dried grass"

treatment OF collie An Horses.

MIR. A j. Murray, veterinary surgeon
lately from England, who conducts the
veterinary department of the Western
Rural, Detroit, Michigan, comments as
follows on the treatment of collie in horses,
very common disorder, though seldom
properly understood
Many different remedies are recommend
ed in collie, but it may perhaps be advisable
10 advert in the first place to those which
should not be oiren. Almost every one con-
siders himself competent to prescribe for
this disease, though he may be utterly ig-
norant of the effects of the dose which he
recommends. Bleeding is generally recon-
mended TO begin with, and then a dose of
vinegar or turpentine is poured down the
horses throat. Ihave even known the CUTS
Of a newly killed chicken TO be given as a
remedy.
Horses affected with collie are frequently
killed by the administration of improper
remedies. Even those who style themselves
veterinary surgeons" are frequently igro-
rant Of the doses in which the most ordi-
nary medicines should be given When
asked to consult, lately, with one of these
"selfmade" practitioners, practicing in
Detroit, found be did not even know the
doses in which the most ordinary medicines
should be given, but mentioned dose about
hundred times larger than the proper one
When such Ignorance as this is brought to
bear on the treatment Of disease, it is not
very acknowledgement the result should often
prove fatal.
Care should be taken TO place the pa.
tient in box stall, or in some part Of the
stable where there will be less danger of
his injuring himself in his struggles than
if he were left in his stall. An ounce of
sulphnric ether and an ounce of tincture
o. opium should be given in a pint of
tepid water, and this dose may be repeated
in half an hour, If the horse has not been
relieved by the first.
In fiatulent collie much benefit is OBJ
tanned by the frequent administration of
injections, and they are also very servicea-
bic when the collie arises from indigestion,
which it frequently does Seven or eight
drachms of aloes should also be given, as
this will remove any irritating substances
from the intestine which may have given
rise to the collie.
1t is a very absurd practice to run
horses about when suffering from collie
Those who adopt this practice think that
the horse is benefited by it. would
suggest, however, that in the treatment of
horses the dictates of common sense should
not be entirely abandoned. Would Ghose
who adopt this mode Of treatment feel and
think it beneficial to be chased about and
have a whip numerically applied to their
backs and legs when they were suffering
from an acutely painful disesse? They
might show considerable agility under
such an ordeal, but they would not feel
very grateful to The physician to whose
skill and humanity they were indebted for
such heroic treatment. When a horse is
suffering from collie never allow him to
be disturbed, except when il is necessary to
administer medicine to him. l have
known a man to advise having horse rid
den about only short time before the ami
NAL died.

GraDe Growing.

Hon. E. w. Bull, Of Concord, Mass, in
a communication to the NeD England
Farmer, says that he has successfully
warded or the frosts in his vineyard by
burning chips, rubbish, or peat, SO as to
raise a dense smoke over his vineyard
when the Thermometer indicates frost
As early autumn frosts usually occur on
a still night, this method might be adopted
in any kitchen garden when late articles
need TO be kept from the frost The smoke
prevents the too rapid radiation of the
heat from the earth, just as fog will
otter prevent frost We have seen
corn fields protected from the frost when
planted near waterfall where the rapid
evaporation Of the water filled the air
with moisture which, as the air cooled
down, formed fog bank over the corn
field.
