Hints Worth Winding.

All rasberry and blackberry canes set out
this spring should be cut down to within
six inches of the ground, if not done when
set out. 1t will insure the growth of the
new wood, and they will come into fine
bearing order next year: whereas, should
the canes be allowed to remain only par
TALLY pruned, as other bearing wood, there
may be small crop of poor fruit, and
only about half crop next year. Some
people are SO eager to get fruit at once that
they totally neglect this advice.
TOMATOES, EGG PLANTS, &C.-Tomatoes,
Egg and cabbage plants, after being set
out, generally become somewhat wilted in
their leaves, and lose some of them from
the effects of the sun before they become
established. This can be prevented by set
ting over the plant, say from eight or nine
to five o'clock in the day, boxes in the
shape of cones about fourteen inches in
eight, open at the top. They also protect
the plants against frost. By the use of
these boxes a week is gained in time, and
sometimes the plants saved from severe or
fatal injury. The boxes will last twelve or
fifteen years.
MULCHING.-The trees transplanted this
spring should be mulched as soon as the
ground becomes dry. For this purpose
grass Is SOou DIS lytIllllS. ION put
around the tree too much at time, and
repeat the mulch when it gets dry and
thin. Remove it once or twice during the
summer, and stir up the ground well, then
replace it. 1t will save many tree, if the
season should be hot and dry, which we
think this season will be.
The strawberry, rasberry and blackberry
beds should also be well mulched Any
quantity of dry stuff about place, espe-
cially leaves, scraping, &C., or short grass
cut frem the lawn, will do. An application
of the contents Of a hot bed is very benefi-
cial. GermantoWn Telegraph.

Us Halls Health 7ract' declares that
there should be no cellars under dwellings,
they are always more sr less damp and
musty, and are the receptacle Of every
variety of substances subject to decay and
the promotion of unhealthful gases and
odors. Not one cellar in a thousand, either
ia town or country, is clean or dry. Gel
lars are usually cluttered up with old bar
rels, boxes, casks, bottles, cast-off boots,
shoes, hats, with bones, ashes, and various
remnants of wilted and rotting fruits and
vegetables; it is the gases, the emanatiens,
arising from these things which cause the
worst form of typhoid and other malignant
fevers. Pestiferous gasses are lighter than
the common air, and rise with great rapid
ity in warm weather. Thus the disease
engendering atmosphere of the cellar rises
upwards, penetrates the crevices Of the
flooring, and would escape from the build
ing, but is confined to the parlors and
chambers. This is particularly the case in
large cities, where the only entrance to the
cellar is within the building; hence, every
time the cellar door is opened crowd of
foul emanations rush upward to impreg-
nate the air of every apartment in the
house. Very many of the ceilings of Gel
lers are not even plastercd, when really
they ought not only to be plastered, but
the eight or ten inches between the floors
and the plastering should be filled with
charcoal or ashes. From these considera-
tions the cellar Gf there must be one)
should be the ceanest apartment in every
dwelling. Families upon moving into a
new house are advised to have the cellar
completely emptied of every movable thing;
to allow every avenue of grating, door, and
window to be left open day and night for
at least week; to sweep the floor, walls
and ceilings or joists several times; to
whitewash the walls and ceilings with two
or three coats; to wash the floor WE'LL and
then rinse it with water; to scatter unslack-
ed lime or powdered charcoal literally
wherever there is any appearance of damp
ness, SO as to absorb all odors arising from
moist and dark places.

How to Cure Fowls of Plucking Feathers.

A correspondent writing to Hearth and
Home in a late number says:
Some time since l wrote for remedy
for hens plucking each other, and asked
the cause. | found accidentally an answer
to all ! wish to know in an old number,
July 18th, 1869, page 470, Notes at the
Farmers Club 1 write for the benefit of
others who may be troubled as was.-
Since reading the article on page 470,
have fed my chickens with meat and some
green food, and they have stopped pluck
ing each other. Respectfully, l. HI F..'
The item alluded to is as follows:
. 1t seems to me that the success of one
such practical experiment as Warren
Leland's ought to outweigh twenty such as
that related by DR.. Smith, which says
The fowls presently began to look shabby,
then fell sick and dreoped, ate each others
eggs, pulled cut each others feathers, then
died by DOZENS Now, may not all of this
have been caused by want of proper food?
Eggs and feathers contain much sulphur,
and as these hens were fed on chicken
dough- containing little or none of that
element, they were compelled to resort to
the eggs and feathers Of each other for
supply. Mr.. Leland feeds largely with
meat, probably large portion of which is
animal livers, furnishing full supply of
sulphur and albumen-hence his success.
have kept hens in a small way, say from
dozen to forty, and have always aimed to
give them such food as would furnish
them with the material to build up and
clothe their bodies, keep up combustion,
and aid them in the manufacture of eggs.
| have, therefore, given them grain, meat,
including the hvers of animals, chopped

Early Made Hay.

The practice of beginning to cut the
grasses as SOON as they are fairly in BIOS
som is rapidly gaining favor. This favored
time comes to many fields in this latitude
from the middle to the last Of June. With
the improved implments of hay-makiRg-
the horse mower, rake and tedder, it is not
difficult now for the farmer to gather all
his hay crop at the time when it makes the
most nutritious fodder. The early cured
grass dees not give so heavy yield of hay
to the acre at one cutting, and the same
bulk will not weigh so much as the grass
cured two or three weeks later. But very
careful experiments show that the hay thus
treated is much more nutritious, it is rel
ished better by all kinds of neat stock, and
nothing is left in the manger. This tender,
sweet hay is particularly important for
sheep and young stock in the winter. If
it does not bring so mnch in market OF at
the stables, at least, the hay, that is retain
ed for home use, should be early cut. 1t
does not exhaust the soil so much as where
the seeds are allowed to mature. If the
ground is very rich it allows of second
cutting in August. If not, it makes a
heavy aftermath and shelters the roots of
grasses in the winter. The practice is
increasing among our rejecting farmers,
which is pretty good evidence that it is safe
to follow.
