suggestions Ola Grating.

Considerable observation ana eX-
perience convinccs me that the old
plan Of cleft grating is not the true
or best way. have for several years
grated more or less for myself and
ne'ghborss and the satisfaction which
my plan has given has led me to think
that it may benefit others. | shall
not attempt to say one half that
might be said on the important sub
jet, but will try and Get a. the main
facts as direct as possible.
in the old plan the limbs selected
are from one to three inches in diam
eter, cut square off and split through
the center, and clon being set on
each side, leaving an opening be-
tween quite as wide rs The clon is
thick. The limbs are generally cut
below all the small twigs or leaf
branches, forcing ali the sap into the
cion which grows rapidly the first
year, loosenimg the wax on the limb.
leaving the SPLIT open for the water
uatil it dr'es out; this kills more or
less of the wood in the heart OF the
limb by the time it heals over, often
taking four or five years, Then what
dead wood there is. Is soon as it j.
excluded from the drying effects of
air, absorbs the sap OF the limb and
at once begins to decay, often HI ling
the tree before i: has borne fruit
enough to half pay for grating.
| will now give my plan and men
ton some Of the advantages over the
old plan. | cut the limb slanling so
that the angle shall be about two
thirds as long as the limb is thick, be-
ing careful TO have the slant on the
under side of the limb. Then split
the limb up aud down through the
center, never setting but one cion N
a limb, and seldom cutting q limb
over an inch through, being govern
ed by the shape | wish to give the
top. | generally put all the cions in
to top he first year. This can be
done where the limbs are cut above
the small twigs, or leaf branch, which
will take a part of the sap the first
year; then cut them off as soon rs
the growth Of the cion shall require
i.
l think it will be readily seen that
by eating the limb slanting and set
ting the cion on the upper side, there
is no chance for the water to remain
long enough TO l;il the wood. II
will be seen, that by cutting the limb
where it is small, that it viii sooner
grow over, and the cion will sooner
grow to the size of the limb cut off.
Every one who has had much tx
pericnce in grating knows very well
that it requires good deal of juag
ment and skill to form good, heal
thy fruit bearing top, and none bu,
those who understand the business
should be allowed to cut limb from
a tree, either to Trim or graft 1T Cor.

What We Need,

On the above theme, from an agri
cultural PORT Of view, 'Rurai' dis
courses in this wise in late number
of the Chicago Tribune:
We want 4 farm ers' club in every
school district, for the purpose OF dis
cussinS rural matters and then we
want our county fairs to be the expon-
ent Of the several industries, instead
of horse-racing, gambling and drink
ING. In short, we want somethl G
that viii make farmer 4 better farm,
er; to make him so intelligent that
he NAV not be the victim Of every
operator who may wish to fleece him.
The seed corn business will cost the
farmers thousands Of dollars, with
ont any corresponding benefit The
changing OF seed is not to be ignored,
but this can be done at small cost. AT
the North, when corn is not so thor
oughly ripcned before frost, and with
large cob, it should be hung up TO
to cure out, or put in some dry loft,
where the dampness from the cob
may not injurc the germ but south
Of 40 degrees, the early planted corn,
for seed, may be put in large cribs,
if protested from the weather. No
one here thinks Of "ricking" mp then
seed corn, and it is always put in bulk.
The dealers buy it from these Grips,
shell it in the usual way, and put it
in the market for seed corn. 1t is
simuly No. | corn.

Now come the Farmers one ana all,
To buy machines both great and small,
The Marsh Harvester takes the lead,
Fifty-five are sold, none left for seed.
Our heavy stock of ".Etnas" gone,
And still the crowd comes rushing on,
Demanding A1tnas by the score,
We ordered on two car loads more.
The Rake trade too, WAS very good,
Some sold for HAY, some sold for wooD,
OF Thrash Machines we sold just eight,
AS good as any in the State.
To clean the crops for market we'll,

Summer Care of Hogs.

The hog crop, as compared with
the other products Of the farm, seems
TO increase in importance every year.
While the price Of every thing else

quoted at STEADY or "frm and the

many more have lost money. TIE
like may be said Of Those who have
turned their attention to the raising
of sheep. or the production Of fruit.
There is little danger Of Cutting the
market with pork, at least for the
present and while the expense Of
sending thousand dollars worth of
pork to market is scarcely more than
that of sending a hundred dollars
worth of grain, there is an obvious
advantage in favor Of producing the
former article.
We believe one Of the reasons why
many fail in realizing what they
might from their swirc herds, is that
they devote too much attention to
the corn field and too little to the
log pasture. In their eagerncss to
produce an abundance Of feed for
their hogs in autumn and winter,
they are negligent in providing them
with sufficient food during the earlier
portions of the year. Hogs that are
s,inled uring the summer will not
take on fat readily on the approach
of cod weather. a good healthy
growth should be kept up all the sea
son. Too many farmers initiate TO
some extent. Mt least, the practice of
tho bonest liibcrnian, who having
learned that ten bushels Of corn
would be sufficient to fatten his
shoat, bought it, fed it all at once
and sent fer the butcher to come next
day. They work early and late IN
their corn fields. the product Of
which is mainly designed for their
hogs in the fall; while their hungry
pigs run squeallng about in a scanty
pasture with hardly a weed to salts
fy iLeir hunger, or drop Of water to
Stake their thirst.
Now the truth is, an qcrc Of clover
TO be fed off in jane is worth more i'll
making pork than, an acre of corn
that is to be devoured in November.
The first can be produced by little
labor, while the latter is orly raised
ut the expense of patient and con
tipued toil.-Pr0irie Farmer.
