Lime Around Apple Trees.

We have known farmers to make it
Il regular practice, for a succession of
wears, to throw caustic lime around
their apple trees i'll spring and sum-
mer. We once noticed that a tree
standing in the immediate vicinity of
our dwelling had, all at once, put forth
with renewed energy, and we were at
Il loss for some time to define the
cause. On examination we found
that quantity of lime, which had
been accidentally spilled and rendered
worthless by becoming mixed with
the refuse OH the stable floor, had been
thrown at the foot and around the
tree, and to this, as the principal cause
we Immediately accredited the revi-
viscence and renewed modification of
the tree. Taking the hint from the
accident, we purchased twelve casks
of lime, and applied half a bushel to
each of the trees in our orchard, and
found that it produced Immediately
beneficial effects. Not the health of
the trees only, but. the quality of the
fruit also was greatly improved. This
application will be especially beneti-
cial i'll soils where there is a redun-
dancy of vegetable matter. We would
advise our farmers, in some places,
especially in new forest lands, to make
the experiment, and see if it is not
deserving of the high recommends

Fattenlng Hogs.

Since so many of our readers have
recently engaged in raising improved
(Jreeds of hogs, the following sugges-
tons from the Hearth and Home may
,bo interesting:
lest AGE FOR FATTENING.
Whatever may be said of other Sec
Sns Of our country, spring pigs are
best for New England. They
Md be Uttered about the first of
5ch, taken from the mother the
80 week in April, when the early

Us SHINING to be plenty, If
he supply from the dairy is sufficient
HEY will need little or no meal until
sfhe milk begins to shrink in August,
and then fattcning should at once
and be continued till the
last of November, or the first of De-
cem5er, when, if the pigs are thrifty
heard and the farmer has done his best
during the summer, q litter of six or
eight ought to average at least three
hundred pounds. WintGred hogs
would weigh at the same time from
fifty to one hundred pounds more, but
the additional weight would be at the
cost of constant care during the win
ter, and grain continually fed from
December to May, both making the
cost of the pork per pound from two
to four cents higher than if made from
spring pigs.
A recent experiment, carefully con-
Quoted, made the cost of litter of
four hogs, killed at thirteen months,
old, when compared with litter of
pigs killed anime months, as thirteen
TO ten.

Duration and termination of Seeds.

There are few seeds that will not
germinatc as freely the second year
as the first if kept i'll cool place, and
not exposed to either a too drying OF
too dampened atmosphere. With the
exception of parsnips, onions, and
leaks, l would just as soon sow seed
two years old, as when fresh gathered ;
but there is limit to the vitality of
seeds, varying much in the different
species.
Among those only safe for two years
rarc beans ond peas, of all kinds; pep
pers, carrot, egg plant, Okra, satisfy,
thyme, sage, and rhubarb.
Those safe for three years: aspara-
gus, cndive, lettuce, parsley, spinach,
and radish.
Those safe for four years broccoli,
cauliflower, cabbage, celery and tur-
nip.
Those possessing the greatest vital
ity are beet, cucumber, melon, pump
kin, squash, and tomato; the time
ranging from five to 10 years.
We often find this knowledge very
valuable; for example, in procuring
the stock of a seed said to be good OF
q variety that docs not seed the sea-
son it is marketable, such as broccoli,
cauliflower, cabbage or celery, We
procure enough to last at least two
seasons; the first season only a little
is sown to test the merit of the varie-
ty (for we arc never incautious enough
10 risk full crop with one expert
.menD if it proves valuable we have
enough in reserve to sow for full
arop, knowing that it is sure to ger
