The RAISING OF WHEaT.-It will be for
the interest of all our readers who have land
to raise field of wheat the present season.
At present prices Of the grain and flour, moth
ing is SO profitable to raise as wheat. Spring
or fall wheat can be successfully produced in
all the New England and Northern States ;
and there is no good reason why extensive
breadth of land should not be laid down to it
during the month Of April, if the season is an
early one. 1t must 20 in early and for the
New England States. what Is known the
Black Sea wheat is the best variety. 1t is
not liable to mildew, and stands up well
against rain and winds. We raised thirty
bushels to the acre, the past season. and in
tend to increase the yield the present year.
For fertilizers use our homemade super
phosphate, or the mixture of bones and ashes,
five hundred pounds to the acre, sown broad
cast. If the farmer has plenty of good barn
yard manure, it is well to add to this dress
ing five or six loads to the acre.-Journal Of

ABOUT FESCES.-The cry, : Down with
the fences is daily becoming louder. One
eminent English agriculturist has removed
three ami half miles Of what he regards as
unnecessary fence farm form of less than
two hundred acres
1t IS estimated that Great Britain might
dispense with 500, 600 miles of fencing now
in existence II we suppose this fence to
occupy width Of nine feet, which is very
moderate estimate for the wide, live fences
of England, this would be an addition to the
arabic land of $50 $50 acres. .----
Our common worm-fence usually occupies
a width OF four and half feet-the rails
being fourteen feet long. \ fence made
with longer rails occupies more space. If
the rails shorter, the space occupied is
less TO this it is safe to add eighteen inch
es for land that is not cultivated. This gives
a width OF two yards appropriated to fence.
Every 2240 yards of such fence occupies an
acre. An acre cf land in a farm nearly
square, and consequently in the most econ
omical shape as regards fencing, is 220 feet
by-29S feet. To fence this requires 27S yards
Of fencing, which occupies just about one
eighth of an acre--this is one-eighth of the
whole. such fence surrounding a ten-acre
lot of the comparatively economical shape OF
.2i2 yssrds-by 40 yards would occupy 1886
yards, or considerably less than one-eighth of
an acre. This would be less than 80 of the
whole amount striking illustration of the

WATER FOR Much Cows.-From observa-
ton we have long been satisfied that plenty
Of water is not only very essential to the
health of mich cows, as 1t is indeed to that
of all animals. but it contributes largely to
the flow of milk
We found that by inviting cows to drink
large quantities of water, the quantity Of
milk yielded by them could be increased
several quarts per day, without materially
injurng its quality and that the milk
obtained is approximately proportioned t.
the quantity of water drank. Cows which ,
when stall fed with dry fodder, gave only
from nine to twelve quarts of milk per day,
at once produced from twelve to fourteen
quarts daily when their food was moistened
by mixing with it from eighteen to twenty
three quarts of water per day.
Besides this water taken with the food ,
the animals were allowed to drink at the same
intervals as before. and their thirst was ex-
cited by adding to the fodder a small quaint =
ty of salt. The milk produced under the
water regimen, after having been carefully
tnalyzed and examined as to its chemical and
physical properties, was adjudged to be of
good quality, and excellent butter was obtain
ed from it.-COr. Stock Journal.

DRESSING FOR SALADS. Most people rel
ish nice Said at this season of the year, and
it would. be still more priced if the needed
dressing we're at hand. The essential in
gradients are good cider vinegar, pure mus
tard, fresh eggs and sweet oil made of olives
not of lard. Begin with teaspoonful Of
dry mustard in a soup plate add nearly an
equal quantity of salt, Little vinegar, and
beat to a paste then add the yolk of fresh
egg, and after thoroughly rubbing and ming
ling all with silver fork or spoon, add about
half ta BILE spoonful of sweet. OIL and stir
until it is smooth. 1t will then probably
have shining, greasy look add few drops
of vinegar, and it will, when stirred, at once
thicken up, and lose the greasy look entirely
When all is.smooth and uniform add more
oil, and again, a very little vinegar, if neces-
sary, to produce the same effect. Our rule
is to add as much oil as we can cause to be
entirely taken up, and to stop before either
the addition of more oil or vinegar will cease
to thicken. The dressing should be as smooth
whipped cream, and this, indeed, thorough
ly beaten up with the white of the egg or
eggs, is an addition to the dressing which
increases its delicacy and deliciousness In a
good salad dressing the oil loses its oiliness,
but pervades the whole with its flavor, and
while the sharpness of the mustard, salt and
vinegar entirely disappear, each ingredient
adds a peculiar piquancy to the agreeable
compound, which by contrast only heIghtens
the crisp freshness of the lettuce, and brings
out its flavor. The eggs may be omitted, and
you will still have nice dressing. if the oil
is good. Lettuce, water cress, endIve, and
celery, make fine salad. Dandelion, sorrel
and some other plants are occasionally used.
Salads very appetizing, and may well
have place every day upon the table.

WHEN To MANURE TREEs.-Inquiry is often
made as to the frequency and amount of
manuring cultivation for trees. The
answer-Inust be Act according to cir
cumstances. The question again recurs /:
How shall we know what our soils need :?
The answer is Observe the results of growth.
An examination or analysis of the soil will be
of little use But the trees will tell their
own story. If the soil is SO rich that they
make annual shoots of two or three feet or
more in length. without any cultivation or
manuring at all, (Which, however, is rarely
the CASEY then it will be needless to give ad-
ditional care. The annual growth is the best
guide to treatment There are very few
apple or other orchards which after reaching
a good bearing state, throw out annual shoots
more than a foot and Il half long, and may
not half this length. The owner may lay it
down as unaterable rule, that when his
trees do not grow one foot annually they
need more manuring or cultivation, or both
