FARM AND GARDEN.
Cultiyating Young Trees.

The most perfect tree can be raised from
planting the seed on level land, with soil
of equal fertility all around it, because
trees, like most other things, lean to the
source from whence they derive their nour-
ishment. In exposed situations, trees lean
from the prevailing winds of the country,
and should have more nourishment APP
piled to the root next to the prevailing
winds, to counteract their influence.
The reason why tree bends to pile of
manure on one side of it is that it makes
wood faster on that side, and the heart of
the tree is soon nearer one side than the
other. It is notorious fact that all TIM
Der springs from the heart, as all hewers
know, and when one side gets thicker and
stronger than the other, iJ bends the tree
toward the thick side. Trees attain size
faster without trimming than with. And
L have never been able to discover any adj
vantage in pruning fruit trees, except
sometimes when forks occur low down,
and if allowed to grow would split apart
and ruin the tree.
Persons wishing to set out orchards had
better set out trees at one year old than
wait for them to get slim in the nursery (;
they are checked less by removal, and will
become profitable sooner.
It has been thought that fruit trees ought
to be six or eight feet high without a limb;
but experience has satisfied me that it is
better to let young trees branch as low as
they will. A person can gather twice as
much fruit standing on the ground as he
can creeping about on ladder twenty feet
long. a short body is able to sustain more
fruit than long one of the same size. Be
sides, low limbs prevent the formation of
a sod under the tree. All young trees
should be MANFRED and cultivated as care
fully as vegetables. READER.

Subjects for Discussion.

The Waltham, Mass, Farmers Club,
has published the following topics for
thought and discussion during the present
year. The idea is excellent and should be
generally initiated:
The result of farming in 1871, and what
has been learned that will be beneficial to
the future.
Has the importation of foreign breeds of
cattle, horses, and other stock been a bene-
fit to the community?
Trades and trade unions; their influ-
ence on the business of the community
Would combination of the farming in
terests be benefit to their general pros
perity.
Woodland and forest trees their advan-
tages or disadvantages to the farm and
community.
Farm and farmers what are the indica-
tions of good farming
Swine and poultry best breeds of each,
and the best method of keeping and feed
ing, and the profit and loss.
Fruits and vegetables proper time to
gather, and the best way of preserving
them.
Mich COWS; feeding and management
in regard to health and the production of
milk,
The raising, feeding, and training of
horses for speed, road, and farm work.

TAKING OFF THE HIDES OF ANIMALS
A leather worker gives the following di-
rections in the Canada Farmer. 1--WE will
suppose the animal dead and placed on its
back the operator, by thrusting his knife
point foremost and edge up, makes slit
the entire length Of the carcass, from the
chin, over the center of the breast in the
line Of the navel TO the vent. Let him now
stand by its side, with his face looking the
way the head lies, and taking the fore foot
in his left hand, run the point of his knife
in the line Of the cleft of the foot and can

NutritiYe Value of Milk.

A chemist of Providence, r. l., states
that milk is more nutritious than meat.
The nutrive value of milk, as compared
with other kinds of animal food, is not
generally appreciated. There is less diff
ference between the economical value of
milk and beefsteak (or eggs or fish than is
commonly supposed. The quantity of
water in a good quality of milk is eighty
six per cent, in round steak seventy-five
per cent, in fatter beef sixty per cent, in
eggs about sixty-eight per cent, From
several analyses made last winter, | esti-
mated sirloin steak reckoning loss from
bone), at thirty-five cents pound, as dear
as milk at twenty-four cents quart; round
steak, at twenty cents pound, as milk at
fourteen cents quart; eggs at thirty cents
quart. Many laborers, who pay seventeen
themselves hardly able to pay ten cents
for milk, when in fact, they could as well
afford to pay fifteen cents.
Milk is q most wholesome and economic
cal food for either the rich or poor. II
ought to be more largely used. If the
money expended for veal and pork were
expended for milk, / doubt not it would
be an advantage both to the stomach and
pocket, especially during the warm season
Relatively speaking, then, milk at ten
cents, or even twelve cents quart, is the
cheapest animal food that can be used
Whether farmers can afford to produce il
cheaper is matter for them to decide. II
is very probable that were they to ask
twelve cents, very large number of poor
people would refrain from its use from mis-
taken notions of economy, notwithstand.

CHICKEN JELLY.-For chicken jelly,
take a large chicken, cut it up into small
pieces bruise the bones and put the whole
into a stone jar, with cover that will
make it water tight. Set the jar in a large
kettle of boiling water, aud keep it boiling
for three hours. Then strain off the liquid
and season it slightly with salt, pepper and
mace or with loaf sugar and lemon juice,
according to the taste of the person for
whom it is intended. Return the frag-
ments of the chicken to the jar, and set it
again in a kettle of boiling water. You
will find that you can collect nearly as
much jelly by the second boiling. This
jelly may be made of an old fowl.

The Process Of Grafllng and Budding

Numerous correspondents have request
ed information on this subject, and we
have thought simple description of the
processes might aid beginners in learn
ing the art. Grating is performed by
saving off the stock to be grated. Split
ting it down about an inch, and holding
it open with wedge on one side, the scion
containing two buds is sharpened into a
thin wedge and inserted so that the cam
blum or inner bark of the graft will Just
meet and lie along that of the stock. Some
times, to insure this meeting at some point,
the graft is slightly turned from the true
line. When finished; cover all with graft
ing wax. This should be done in the
spring, before the sap starts freely.
Budding is performed by splitting the
bark Of the stock, about an inch in length,
making cross cut at the top to enable you
to carefully raise the bark to place the bud;
cut out the bud to be inserted, carefully
taking out all the wood without injuring
the root of the bud; cut off the top square,
leaving the bot ON tapering; insert this
so the square end of the bud will Just fit
the square cut in the stock; press the bark
up TO the bI q and tie carefully with hast
or soft yarn. leaving the bud free This
must be performed about the time the fruit
tree To be budded has formed its terminal
bud H'eStern Rarat.

How TO ROAST TURKEY.-The RuruI
Home says this is the way to do it: To
roast Il turkey, it should first be "killed"
at least two days in advance. Make u
force meet of grated bread crumbs, pepper,
SALT sweet marjorum, minced suet, and
beaten yolk of egg. Chop the liver, giz-
zard and heart for the gravy. Stu fl the
craw and the body. and sew up the OPEN
ings. Dredge with flour, and put the bird
into the bake-pan, with the bottom well
covered with butter.

FAIRFAX Court norsE Nov. 2l.-The
Piedmont Convention closed its sem-annual
session here on last Friday afternoon. The
members dispersed Saturday morning except

able di>courses preached. TO mention one as
excclling others might be regarded as lnvidious
when all were good, but the sermon preached
by the Rev. r. T. Davis, OF Leesburg, We'd
nesday night, was perhaps the most impressive.
This Couvocation will long be remembered
with pleasure by our people.
