they have held annual Fairs and issued

TEE Country Gentleman says the
only reason why better crops of pota-
toes are obtained from large potatoes
used for seed than from small ones, is
that the former give greater supply OF
nutriment to The young sprouts. 1t
says that so far as any other reason is
concerned one might as well expect
that using gratis from a large tree
would produce larger trees than gratis
from small one of the same kind.

Ns,v sxs,sm or Ro.e ou,,ur.

Some French and English Horticultu.
rists have been experimenting for three
or four years on a new system of rose
culture, which may be briefly stated
thus: "First, prune out all the old
wood; second, shorten the new wood a
very little, peg the new wood fiat down
to the earth The rose is thus allowed
to bloom as the raspberry bears only
on the new wood, and that slightly
pruned.
As unlike the common way as this Is,
the effect is said to be very fine. The
young shoots peggedto the ground pro-
duce a greater abundance of bloom, al
though, perhaps, diminished in size.
When rose stalk stands upright, the
stronger tendency of the sap has the
effect to multiply the roses near the
top; while, when trained upon the
earth, the sap works more evenly
throughout the length of the stalk.
This is shown both in bloom and in the
multitudinsus upward shooting of
stems from the main stalk The effect
of this new mode of training would, no
doubt, be very fine in covering sloping
banks and mounds, and also in the
more rapid production of small roses
for bouquetes, &c. Its novelty viii,
no doubt, commend it to all amateurs
who have time and inclination to ex-
pertinent.
No plant requires closer pruning
than the rose, the finest blooms are al
ways found upon the stalks which shoot
forth from the root, showing the import
ance of severe cutting away of the
old wood. The bush should always be
trimmed SO as to open its branches as
much as possible, for it likes the sun.
The more sunlight the rose receives,
the more rapid thegrowth and the more
beautiful and numerous its flowers. =

How Much Work a Horse Can Do.

At former meeting of the British
Association in Dublin, Mr.. Charles
Bianconi, of Cashel, read paper rela-
tive to his extensive car establishment,
after which gentleman stated that at
Pickford's, the great English carriers,
they could not work horse economic
ally more than ten miles q day, and
wished to hear Mr.. Bianconi's opinion
on the subject. Mr.. Biancom stated,
he found by experience he could better
work horse eight miles day for six
days in the week, than six miles day
for seven days in the week. By not
working on Sunday he effected saw
ing of II per cent.
Mr.. Bianconi's opinion on this point
is of the highest authority, for although
the extension of railways in the land
has thrown thirty-seveH of his vehicles
out of employ, which daily ran 2, 446
miles, still he has over nine hundred
horses, working sixty-seven convey
ances, which daily travel 4,24 miles.
1t is also founded on theresult of forty
three years experience.

A correspondent writes as follows
+" Nearly all my fowls are sick with a
disease that 1 think is called crop
bound. 1 have lost nearly half of my
fowls, and will probably lose more.
The crop feels hard, and the fowl re-
fuses food" Togetmeier says of this !:
''The treatment of this disorder is very
simple. With sharp pen-knife an in
cision must be made through the skin
and upper part of the crop; the hard
ened mass loosened by some blunt
pointed instrument, and removed If
it has remained many days, and is very
offensive, the crop may then be washed
out by pouring in some warm
water. The incision, if small, may be
left but if large a switch or two is de-
sirable. The bird should be fed on
soft food day or two, and will rapidly
recover" Before adopting such eI-
treme measures as above recommended
we would suggest the trial of purge
of some kind That ased by some
cookers when putting up birds to train
for the PIT, which is composed of com
mon yellow soap with little cream
tartar and molasses worked into it, viii
be found convenient. 1t can be made
into pills the size of pea, which can
be placed down the fowls throat. In
either case, the bird should be fed on
soft food for several days afterwards.
