The Vafi,y Farmer advises the use Of
clover ia flow of milk Is the aim. II
says, II you wish rich milk, and well fla.
yored butter, iced young timothy and
white clover II You aim al the best re
suits both In quantity and quality Of but
ter, feed on fresh pastures Of white clover
and timothy In summer, and early cut
timothy and wheat bran in winter. The
grass must be cut when heading out or
better, young aftermath well cured.
Avoid roots and garden stuff in general,
If you wish a good quality Of butter
though II IL now held that those fed while
milking, or Immediately before, will rem
edy the evil.
Sage grows best in q light, warm,
rich soil. II may be grown from slips or
cuttings, but In this country II is most
commonly propagated from seed, Sow
thinly In drills eighteen inches apart, and
from a half to hree.fourths of an incD
deep. When the plants are two inches
high they are to be thinned to a foot
apart in the drills. Fresh rows may be
formed by the plants so taken up. Sage
should be gathered for drying before the
the leaves, the flower stalks should be cut
as soon as they appear. This increases
the product, as the leaves start out more
vigorously and grow larger MaSsachu-

"A correspondent of the Germdnt0ton
Telegraph says: "Half an acre of land in
a well-cultivated garden will produce as
much toward subsisting a farmers family
as any three acres on the farm, besides
which the advantage in the cultivation of
it would crafty a diversity of tastes, and
contribute much to secure the blessings
of health, and the labor can be shared also
by those too young or too old to toll in
the heavier operations of the field, and &C.
~casionally by the female inmates of the
house, or the plowmen from the field by
way of relaxation from leg toll, without
any material impediment to other labors.
Every farmer will best promote his inter-
est by bestowing on the garden a due
share of attention"
The editor Of the Horticulturtst says
that carbolic acid preparations, in. the
form of soap, or as q plant protector, OF
as a powder, have an admirable effect in
the destruction of insects. Carbolic acid
is a natural distillation of coal tar, and in
its crude state is a poison alike to man Oh
plant, but properly diluted or compound
ed, it an be used IN a great variety o
forms, either as a disintectant or as
cleansing soap, or as an insect destroyer
No insect can stand either its fumes or it
application. Like oil, it is certain death
A pound of the article dissolved in Is o.
20 gallons of water, forms a large quaint
ty which can be forced by q syringe owe
the entire plant or tree, and one or two
applications drive away all worms, flies
and insects of every kind.
"A New Jersey correspondent of tn,
, New York Farmers Club says that 70
removing ticks from lambs, he has BEEF
| in the practice of making a strong decoc
ton from tobacco stems put in a barrel
and then just set the sheep or lambs il
for a few minutes, until they becom'
, saturated. Sometimes one application i
sufficient. Has never known to fail Il
r destroy every tick. Anotherl gentleman
, Mr.. Reade, said he tried the tobacco cur
r for ticks, and with excellent results, an,
l had yet TO learn of any better method
Q His mode is to steep a pound Of Tobacco,
in from six to eight gallons of water, an
0 then, with an attendant, take the lamb b
. the hin LEGS and the fore legs and hear
dipping in the decoction. The one hay
a ing charge over the head then holds hin
up over the tub, while the other ma,
sQueezes the " tea" out of the wool to b
d used in %saturating another lamb. On
pound of plug tobacco will answer for 3
r lambs, and they should be dipped abou
{ six days after the flock is sheared, as tn
b ticks by that time have left the bare oil
ones for the fresher and better covere
