LEACHED WOOD ASHES.

An English farmer gives the following
in regard to the value of soap ashes;
',My opinion of soapers' ashes is confined
to the application of it as a top-dressing
on pasture land. About twelve years ago
agreed with soap boiler FOR 1900 tons
of soapers' ashes. used to apply about
twenty wagon loads per acre, and single
bushing would let the whole in. l was
laughed at and abused for my folly, the
wise ones alleging that my land would be
burnt up for years, and applied my soap
ers' ashes every day in the year, reeking
from the vat without any mixture what
ever. l tried six acres mixed up with
earth, but l found it only doing things by
halves. My land never burned, but from
the time of the application became a
dark-green color, bordering upon black,
and has given me more, but never less,
than two tons per acre since.

TO TRAIN HORSE TO STAND.

The american Stock Journal con-
tains the following directions: Take
your horse on the barn floor and throw
strap over his back and fasten it TO his
right fore foot; lead him along and say
''whoa,n at the same time pull down the
strap, which throws him on three feet
and makes him stop suddenly. This is
the best way known TO teach whoa,
though you can put on the war bride,
and say whoa, and give him sharp jerk
that will stop him about as soon as the
strap to his foot Then put him in har-
ness, with the foot strap, as directed under
the head of training TO harness." and
drive him up to the door. The moment
he undertakes to move, take his foot and
say whoa. Get in your carriage and get
out again; rattle the thills, make all the
noise getting in and out you can; give
him to understand, by snatching his foot
each time he moves, that he must stand
until you tell him TO go; and after a few
times you can put the whole family in
the carriage and he won't stir out of his
tracks

FALL OR sTURHLE TURNIPS.

1t is seasonable now to SOW fields or
odd patches with the ordinary fall turnip.
True, they are not always q sure crop,
unless you are as persistent as a market
gardener mentioned by the Rural Ne1O
Yorker, who says it is his rule to keep
sowing until he overcomes the obstacles
and gets a good catch; and he has never
been Known to fail. Turnips require
fresh, rich, vigorous soil, so as to insure
a quick, healthy growth. As it is not
usual to cultivate, to any extent, those
sown at this time of the year, land should
be selected that will be free from weeds
and grass, and thoroughly and finely
plowed, and narrowed down level and
smooth as possible. Those who raise
potatoes for early marketing, usually
SOW the same field to turnips after
tine carly crop has been taken
off. As the ground was proba-
bly, well manured for the potatoes, it will
be in the very best condition for the tur-
nips, after being plowed and narrowed.
Turnips succeed best on moist soil, not
too wet, for which reason a plat of sod
of black OF alluvial soil is often turned
over with care, and sowed after rolling
and narrowing. Fresh cleared land gives
the best promise of success, as upon that
a crop seldom fails. Seed Is also sown
among corn and potatoes, at the time of
late hoeing, but no very good results are
within our knowledge from this practice.
There are several varieties that may be

SUNTAC.

In anticipation of the season for gather
ing, we give the following directions for
the preparatin of sumac for market:
Directions. sumac should not be
taken before the leaf is thoroughly ma
tured-say the middle of July. 1t can be
gathered as long as the leaves will stick
to the stem or until killed by frost. Its
turning red does not hurt it. The little
black sumac, as it is called, is as good as
any. The red berries must be thrown
out.
1t may be wilted in the sun, but must
be cured under cover, and not allowed to
be burnt by the sun or to get wet, or to
be in such large quantities as to heat in
curing any of which destroys lis color
and strength and renders it valuelcss. 1t
should not be thrown upon a tight
floor to cure, but raised up, so as to let
the air get under it. All sumac should
be gathered at least month before it is
sufficiently cured to be brought in for
sale, and in bad weather even a longer
time may be required to properly dry it :
for not only the leaf, but the stem too,
must be thoroughly dry. All the sap
must be dried out, so that the stem will
snap short off, like a clay pipe stem, or
it cannot be received, for it will heat and
spoil. This must be strictly Observed

BARLEY AND OATS AS A CROP.

Where grain Is fed to considerable
extent there is no better way than to SOW
barley and oats together. The advantage
is that the crop will be larger. We have
made this experiment to our entire salts
faction.
Sow little thicker than usual, and
about equal quantities of each, or varying
little, as it is desired to feed more of
the one than the other. 1t is best, per-
haps, to let the barley predominant, so far
as growth is concerned. We have OBJ
tanned the heaviest crops of grain we ever
raised In this way-perfect windows the
swaths were, and the yield enormous.
But it wants ground in good condition
free from weeds, if possible-and
hence corn land is the best for this crop.
1t favors the growth of the barley, which
takes the lead, being forward plant and
maturing before the Oat, yet not hurting
it perceptibly, barley being a favorable
grain in this respect, fayoring the grasses
sown with it, as also the grains.
At first the crop viii seem to be all
barley, and good stand at that. This
will be the case until the barley is well
headed out Then the oats will push up,
and there will seem to be an equally good
crop of oats. And now comes the critical
time. The crop is to be cut when the oat
is just out of the milk, in which case the
barley is only well matured-not over
ripe, as it is held; this is mistake.
The grain, after it is cut, will exhibit g
full ventilated swath, which will soon cure
the oats, when the barley, of course, will
also be fit. There is little or no growth
on the swath (from rain;) in such cases,
the grass lies high and loose, air always
circulating through it. 1t is therefore
more readily harvested than other grain.
Land sown in this way may be seeded
to grass or clover. We have had good
success. Yet a crop of barley alone
would be preferable. If we were to take
our choice, to seed down with oats alone
or oats and barley, we would prefer the
latter.
The grain ground, we need not say,
affords an excellent feed-a feed for all
stock. 1t will do for young stock, for
horses and for mich cows.-Hedrth and

not do just so by your corn9 Get good
seed, fit y)ur ground, plant it well, then
let the sun and rain mature the crop.
Why trouble yourself to cultivate and
care for the growing corn2 Perhaps they
may say, experience teaches them that
there is more in cultivating and caring
for the crop than putting it in. Well,
just so it is with the young fruit trees
Have you set an orchard of young trees
either last fall or this spring Let me
tell you that your work is but half done.
Don't wait another week, if you have
not done it, but see TO 10 that they are
mulched Immediately. By mulching l
mean the placing from two to four bush
els of coarse manure around each tree,
directly on The surface. Don't let it
quite touch the body of. the tree, but
place it in a circle extending from two to
three feet all around the stem. If you
have not the manure, straw, leaves or
even muck will answer. If your tree has
been well set this viii almost insure its
life and good healthy growth. With
out this mulch it may live, but is almost
as likely IN die riL

DISEASE IN APPLE TREES.


]. B. B., Russellville, KY, writes: %
have an orchard of y apple trees, six
| rows, twelve trees in a row: rows run
| ming north and south. The three rows
on the east are on ground five feet lower
than the other three rows on the west.
Now over one-half of the last three rows
have died; the trees are nine years old,
and for the past three years have been in
grass. The three rows on the east side
are all healthy and fine. The leaves and
small fruits are beginning to fall, and in
one month the tree will be dead. / ex-
amined the roots, and from the top of the
ground down it is entirely dead, whereas
the body and limbs are apparently alive.
/ could not find borer. Now, Mr.. Edi-
tor, will be obliged if you can suggest
some remedy. l have lost eight or ten
trees this year; several last and the year
before, and see indications of others
dying. The ground is rich, and l keep
the grass under them shaved off,"
We have known some trees, especially
sugar naples and white pines, die in this
manner, from the effects of parasitic
fungus on the roots. Also, we have
known dwarf apple stocks, undoubtedly
healthy, die by having fungus from desd
dwarf apple tree placed on their roots
We suspect this is the cause here; though
we have never known a similar case on
such large trees. If this is the case,
thread-like MyceliltD1 will be found on
the Toots-as we believe in all cases of
death from fungus, it is by the agency of

smaller, we should take up, wash with
water, and plant in new and fresh soil;
but with so large trees, it is hard to expe-
riment with any prospect of saving them.
Possibly heavy watering of lime-water
and sulphur (the sulphur being put on the
lime before the water is added might kill
the fungus, if it should be fungus, and
the attack has not already done its worst.
Gardeners Monthly for June.
The Prairie Farmer says: As root
rot is distinct from other fungoid dis
eases and, as far as we know, has been
found only over quite limited range of
country, we viii briefly state how J. B.
B. may detect its presence. Either in the
month OF June or July observe carefully
the young growth on your apple trees. If
on one side you find branches have formed
their terminal buds a few days earlier
than on other parts of the tree, carefully
expose the roots on that side. If the dis
ease is present, in its early stages of de-
velopment you will find on the roots
great numbers of enlarged watery-like ex-
cresences, much like those formed on
healthy roots early in the spring, from
which new rootlets push. These excres-
cences will vary from the size of pins
head to half the size of a pea. Closely
examining these you will perceive they
are on all ruptures in the bark out of
which numerous little threads of fungus
start, looking like continuous lines of
spider webs. The common fungus at
lacking decayed wood is quite unlike this,
and, we believe, has not the power of
healthy structure; while that
form-of fungus known as rotten root is
highly contagious and spreads srapidly
from affected to healthy trees.

sown, such as the White and Purple
top Norfolk, White Globe, and other
similar English sorts but the most popn-
lar kinds, and those most sure to
succeed, are American varieties,
known as Purple-top Strap-leayed, and
White-top Strap-leaved. The purple or
red-top is most in use. Either are quick
growing varieties, and, If they escape the.
ravages Of the turnip fly, fair crop may
be reasonably anticipated. Seed may be
sown either in drills or broadcast, the
main point being to get it sown thin. To
insure this, gardeners often mix it with
seed that will not grow, or fiue sand,
saw-dust, or other substances, to scatter
it over more surface. Superphosphate of
lime, being acknowledged good fertil-
izer for this crop, may be mixed in
finely powdered form with the seed, the
whole sown together broadcast, and
brushed in with few tree-tops or large
branches fastened into mass. The su-
perphosphate not only accelerates the
first growth, but has been found one of
the best preventiSes for the rayages of
the fly.
One podnd to one and half pounds of
seed, are ample for an acre. The usual
season is from the twentieth of June to
middle of July, but in good soil they may
be sown all of the latter month. The
Rurcl NeW Yorker states that the most
successful crop it has ever known was
sown in Erie county, New York, on the |
8lh of August, of White Norfolks, from
which, in sixty days, turnips weighing
over six pounds were taken to market.
The whole field had been burned over,
including wood and brush, by fire
which caught from q passing railroad |
train. On good soil, we should not hest |
tate to SOW as late as August 1, since the |
harvesting can be delayed until quite |
severe frosts, and the turnips make better
bottoms, and are more tender and sweet, |
grown in cool, moist weather.

SUMNER CARE FYOUNG TREES.

A writer in the Germantown Telegraph
makes the following suggestions on this
subject: Please let me say one word for
the young and tender fruit trees. The
season of transplanting has passed, and
many a man has paid out his perhaps hard
earned money for trees, which he is in
hopes in the future will either crafty his
own palate or members of his family, or
perchance repay with interest the money
and labor he has expended on them. A
goodly share of the above described per
sons will be disappointed in their expecta-
tons. As the writer of this has set hun
dreds of trees extending through period
of more than twenty-five years, and al.
ways with the best success and almost no
loss, he has perhaps on this account more
often noticed the failures of others than
he otherwise would. How many there
are that take pains to buy and set trees,
then thinking their part done, wait for
Dame Nature to do the rest. Now, to all
this class wonld ask the question, why

There is no better time to destroy the
sucker sprouts that sometimes spring up
from the roots or from the collar of the
stock on which the tree is grated, than
now, Just as the trees are forming their
terminal buds and beginning TO return
food to the roots and layers of expansive
growth along the body. Cut smooth and
clean to the body, and nins times out of
ten the wound will all heal over this pres
