RENEWING OLD FRUIT-TREEs.-A
great many old fruit-tre would produce
bountiful crops of good fruit, if they were
occasionally pruned little, the moss re-
moved from the bodies, and the soil renew
ed around them. This can be done in
mild winter weather, quite as well as after
the growing season has commenced.
After the soil around fruit-trees has yield
ed up large proportion of its available
fertility, unless it is renewed, paying crops
of fair fruit cannot be expected. Fruit
trees can be renovated in the winter, as
we'll as any other season of the year. If
the soil where the trees stand is heavy, it
will ray to draw load or two of muck,
leaf mould, loan or sand, and spread
around each one, as far as the lateral
branches extend. On the contrary, if the
ground is light and porous, it will pay to
haul clay the distance of mile or more,
to spread around fruit trees, which can be
done on sleighs as we'll as on wagons or
carts.
If leached ashes can be obtained at the
expense of carting, or hauling on sleighs,
three or four miles, it will pay well to col
lect large quantities and spread them
around truit-trees of any kind. Unleach
ed ashes are superior to leached for such
purposes; yet, when these cannot be pro-
cured, leached will be found of great value.
There is no danger Of applying too large
quantity, although five to ten bushels
spread around each large fruittree will
constitute liberal dressing. One or two
bushels spread around small tree will be
sufficient tor one dressing. Cherry trees,
plum trees and pear-trees, which bear
knotty, scrabby and rough fruit need lime
and ashes, which will enable the trees to
produce crops smooth and beautiful.
Hence, pile on lime and ashes around
fruit trees.

EARLY CUcUMBERs There are several
modes of growing cucumbers. Our own is
to plant the seeds early in hot bed. Soon
after the plants begin to show their second
pair of leaves, put trowel or knife under
them SO as to sever the tap roots in day
or two transplant them in the hot bed do
this without divesting the plants of earth.
A week later push knife down around
them SO as to cut the lateral roots within
an inch OF the main root, then lift the ball
and transplant it.
Once every eight days or SO shorten the
roots, each time going little further out.
and after each pruning transplant. Some
two or three weeks before setting in the
garden, transplant into cold frames, or
admit cold air freely TO harden. Nothing
can be gained by transplanting into cold
frames or into the garden, until the soil in
either place first becomes warm.
Small frames covered with glass may
be advantageously used in the open field
on cold nights, as a protection against
frost or cold winds; but at other times the

The STocK YARD OF AMERIcA.-D

The SToCK YARD OF AMERIcA.-Dr.
Latham contributes to the Omaha Herald,
an article on cattle raising in Texas, from
which we make extracts as follows: Texas
is truly the cattle hive of America. While
New York, with her 100000 inhabi-
tants and her settlements two and a half
centuries old, has 748, 900 oxen and stock ;
while Pennsylvania, with more than
100000 people, has $4,000 cattle
while Ohio, with 100000 people, has
100000 cattle while Illinois, with $780,
900 people, has 867 900 cattle; and
while Iowa, with 100000 people, has
$4,000 cattle; Texas, not 40 years Of
age, and with her $4,000 people, had
100000 head of oxen and other cattle,
exclusive of cows, in 1867, as shown by
the returns of the county assessors. In
1870, allowing for the difference between
the actual number of cattle owned, and
the number returned for taxation, there
must be fully 5000, 900 head beeves and
stock cattle. This is exclusive of COWS.
which, at the same time, are reported at
100000 head. In 1862 they must number
100000, making grand total of 3, 800,-
QUO head OF cattle in Texas. One-fourth
OF these are beeves, one fourth are COWS,
and the other two fourths are yearlings
and two year-olds. There would, there
fore, be $4,000 beeves, 100000 cows
and ], 100000 young cattle. There are
annually raised and branded 10000
calves. These cattle are raised on the
great plains of Texas, which contain 152
100000 acres. &

How TO RAISE TrRKEYs.--I have

How TO RAISE TURKEYs.--I have
noticed several articles in your paper upon
this subject, and I have tried all the
remedies therein mentioned and many
others for the diseases to which infantile
turkeys are subject. As farmer for the
Hon. John Wentworth Of Chicago, H.,
1 have been trying for ears, irrespective
of every other consideration, to increase
the weight of turkeys. / know it has
been the fashion to have turkeys of the
bronze color but / made the color second
ary to size. l never kept small turkey
because its color was bronze, nor rejected
large one because its color was not. We
could get our goblers up to 40 lbs, but
after that every ounce counted, and such
size seemed contrary to nature in every
respect. Their roost was SO near the
ground, and they were so indisposed to
squalk that it was very easy and safe
thing for thieves to catch them and carry
them away. The most difficult of all
things, however, was to raise them at all
We had our grease made of fresh butter
and hogs lard. We had the pepper-corn
the mustard seed, the ground pepper and
ground mustard for stimulus, and new
milk, buttermilk, curd, whey, &c, fol
food. But large majority of them would
die when young, and those that were raised
were too lazy to fly to roost beyond the
reach of thieves. While we had hopes Of
getting a fifty pound turkey we endured
all this with patience but the fifty pounds
would not come nor forty-6ve. Yet we
could almost get forty five, or thought SO
depending upon great many circum
stances. When any one wants to tell ;
big turkey story, let him say " over forty
That is just as far as he can safely go
A man once said of three-year old COB
bier of ours: "If nothing happens, h,
will yet weigh forty fve." But dealt
happened, and he died in the forties, al
most tipping forty-four, and they gave VI
trying.
After this we bent our efforts to raising
turkeys, even although they would b.
smaller. Mr.. Wentworth sent to tn,
West and got me wild turkeys from thre'
different places None of them were a
all domesticated. We made two larg
enclosures and winged the wild ones, con
fning with them the tame females, ant
females with the tame males. The ex
pertinent was success nearly every egE
Matched, and scarce turkey died. Ii
the fall we turned out the wild ones witt
the main flock, and not one went away
They were not separated afterwards, ant
last season they were left to their owl
course.
The most of them stole their nests, ant
many would hide their young. But il
due time they all came, and two years
experience has demonstrated to us that tn
best way to raise turkeys is to give then
the wild cross and let them alone. Whil
we have no difficulty in driving them int
barns and sheds by day, they are perfectly
inaccessible by night they not only fl!
to the tops of the highest trees and build
ings, but they are alive to every attemp
to approach them. The wild cross give
a richer flavor to the meat, and NOR
glistening bronze to the color.-HENR'
