To PREVENT Crows FROM PULLING Vi
CoRN.-A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman gives his method of preventing
the crows from pulling up his corn, as
follows: As soon as the terminating corn
in the planted field makes its appearance
SOW corn all around the borders of the field
After few days walk around the lot, il
you find the corn pretty nearly all picked
up, sow again. Two applications are
sufficient and will last the birds until the
growing corn is too strong for them. A
bout peck at time will answer for a
field of eight to ten acres, unless the birds
should be unusually numerous. Timely
observation in the field will indicate wheth
er more is needed. have practiced this
method for many years, and have found it
effectnal.

LEAcHED ASHES AS A FERTILrzER.-Au

Farmers Club, as follows: "Leached ash

ing for wheat and clover fields, and mead
ows generally. During the past three
years he had drawn 10000 bushels ON
his farm, which he spent on land at the
rate of 200 to 300 bushels per acre. He
covered forty acres in this way, and meant
to ash the entire farm. They had dou-
bled his wheat crop and wonderfully in
creased his crop of grasses, especially clo-
yer. Land which had been run down too
much to seed with clover, produced heavy
crops when manured with leached ashes.
He got good catch of clover when he
applied leached ashes. Last year on his
wheat and rye, while the balance was
failure. He could see great difference in
the growing wheat where the land was ma
nured with ashes and where it was not"

To PRoTEcr HORSES FROM FLIEs.-The
following remedy has been recommended
to the Westminster, Md. Sentinel, with a
request that it be published: Take two or
three small handfuls of walnut leaves,
upon which pour two or three quarts of
water; let infuse one night, and pour the
whole next morning into kettle and let
it boil for quarter of an hour. When
cold it will be fit for use. No more is re-
quired than to moisten sponge, and be-
fore the horse goes out of the stable let
those parts which are irritable be smeared
over with liquor, viz between and upon
the ears, the neck, the flanks, ETC.

GIle farmer,

THE ToMATo.-This fruit, long known
as 90 the love APPLE" and said to have
come from the far south, has rapidly gain.
cd favor wherever grown. 1t is suscepti.
BILE of great improvement, though it ha.
generally received less attention than mos
garden vegetables. Why grow coarse
unsightly, spongy, ill-favored tomatoes
when by attending to a few simple, bu
important things, the finest qualities may
be had ?
AS the greater part of the fruit on the
tomato vine is borne near the ground it
will be found that the shortening of the
vines will cause nutrition to flow to fruit
instead of making branches. Don't be
afraid to cut out all suckers and nom
bearing branches, and to shorten those
that wander. The writer knows that the
advantages of pruning are questioned by
some, but he has learnd by experience,
whatever may be the rationale of the mat
ter, the results are in favor of rather scrcre
pruning.
The fruit may be kept clean and pre-
vented from premature decay by spreading
brush, salt hay, or by training them.
But if the soil be light and dry this will
not be necessary especially for a general
crop. In garden culture, if it be thought
best to train the vines, simple way is to
set poles twelve feet apart, the tops FIVE
feet high Attach wires horizontally to
them, which will form a cheap trellis for
the vines, thus exposing them to the free
action of the sun and air The flavor of
the fruit thus grown will be finer than
that ripened on the ground.

JUNE.

Hail thee, June queen month of roses,
Every fragrant bud encloses,
Shows its fresh heart to the light.
Sunbeams kiss it, dews caress it
All the quiet summer night.
Balmy south wind comes and tarries,
Luscious, tempting, coy Strawberries
Hide amid their glossy green
Blue skies hover glad earth over,
Wild birds sail and sing between.
Perfumes float from spicy far-lands,
Forest monarchs lift their garlands,
Hymning one unending strain:-
Praise the Giver, praise Him ever,
June is in the field again
Branches, dropping over water,
Filled with young birds sand and futter,
Shelter vioets darkly'blue
No heat finds them, no light binds them,
Always cool and moist with dew.
Robin tries the cherries flavor,
Shouting in joyous quaver
They arr. growing sweet and good.
Lilac fowersfall in showers,
Scattering scent like sandalwood.
Bees kiss close the honey clover,
Mourning dove calls for her lover,
Insects filter in the sun,
Grain gets yellow, small fruits mellow,
Purple shadows haunt the plum.
Revel earth in thy completeness,
Drink, oh soul, thy fill of sweetness,
Dearest things die all to soon,
Worlds keek turning, sunsets burning,
Thirty days are all of June.

THE LIGHT AT HOME.

The light at home, how bright it beams
When evening shades around US fall;
AID from the lattice far it CLEANS,
To love, to rest and comfort all
When wearlcd with the tolls of day,
And strife for glory, gold, or fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way,
Where loving lips will lisp our name,
Around the light of home.
When through the dark and stormy night,
The wayworn wanderer homeward flies,
How cheering is that twinkling light
Which through the forest gloom he spies
1t is the light of home. He feels
That loving hearts will greet him there;
And safely through his bosom steals
The joy and love that Danish care
Around the light of home.
The light of home-how still and sweet
1t peeps from yondcr cottage door,
The weary laborer to greet
When the rough tolls of day are DER!
Sad is the soul that does not know
The blessings that the beams impart,
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow,
And tighten up the heaviest heart
Around the light at home.

The DUTcHMAN's CIDER.-In the small
village of B, in the state of Penn
sylvania, there lived Dutchman who was
famous for making the best cider in the
neighborhood, and was equally famous
for keeping it; and as yet, no person, but
himself and family, had been permitted to
taste the good stuff. At last, one of his
near neighbors said he was bound to taste
it. Accordingly he went to the Dutch
mans house, and entered into conversation
with him concerning his crops, &c. and by.
degrees led him to speak of his cider. He
then said to him.
II understand you make very good ci-
der %
Yaw," replied the Dutchman Hans

Hans soon returned with a mug brim-
ming full, and handed it to the Dutch
man, who drained it to the bottom at one
draught; then turning to his astonished
visitor, said:
"Dere now, if you dosh not dink dat
good cider, joost you schmeU of te mug"
