The HOs-ticultuyist SAYS:

uC2AAW teCWtt0v tCt OSbyos
Now is the time, friends, about
the 18th to the goth Of July, to
prune and pinch back those limbs
of ,superabundant, luxuriance. Go
through the orchard, nip off with
yith your finger nails the top Of any
struggling sprouts, or clip them off
altogether with the pruning knife.
Many Of our most experienced hor-
ticulturists find the month of July
quite as affective for pruning rs in
the, early and late winter. The
theory Of this is thus explained by
the Neso England Farmer.
BY tho time midsummer comes,
most of the sap that flowed up in
the spring has gone to the branches
and aided in expanding buds and
blossoms, and in sending out new
leaves and extending the twigs.-
Whe the tree has done this, the su.
perabundant sap extends down the
tree through the bark and increases
its diameter ts.8sa
The tree now has i season OF rest.
The sap vessels are comparatively
empty, SO that if its branches arc
cut, the wound will rarely bleed
The returning sap, we suppose, soon
forms a green, healthy ring about
the cut IN the bark, and the remain
der of the cut dries and shrinks be.
fore the sap is again in motion.
This season of rest, then, OF three
or more weeks is the best time to
prune.
All fruit trees growing as com
mon standards, should be allowed
to assume their natural form, the
primer going no farther than to
take out al weak and crowded
branches.
Some persons go into the centc,
of a tree and cut away quite large
limbs, when the desired objec,
could be much better gained by
thinning out their extremities. II
is always better not to cut large
branch, unless it is actually endan
gcring the tree considerably. TAX
ing off large limbs tends to throw
ing out suckers the following sum
mcr. All these should be rubbed
Oft when they first appear.

A writer in Fair Play, at Fulton
Mo-, says: We are led TO think
that in our dry, hot climate, the
timothy meadows are cut too close
This is particularly the case when
the cutting is done with mower,
which is now almost universal. The
bulb having been shaded in its
growth by the tall grass, is suddenly
laid bare to the almost vertical rays
of a burning July and August sun
which dries every particle OF
moisture in it; consequently when
the rains come, the bulb has lost
all terminating power. We noticed
last year, when a small portion of a
meadow was cut with n cradle fol-
seed, that the growth Of grass dur
ing the fall was far greater, and
also, that the timothy is Il great
deal heavier on that part this sea
son than along the side where il
was mown close with the machine

The Country Gentleman gives
the following as cure for quinsy in
hogs:
/. Take IN ear Of corn, and be.
smears genuine pine tar upon it,
and give it to the hog. No other
food must be given until it is eaten.
You can repeat the same until a
cure is effected.
2. Take hog manure and lard,
equal parts, say four ounces Of each;
heat the lard, then add the manure;
stir until cool and mix the whole
with one ounce ofspirits camphor.
Drench the hog with the mixture.
If the first does not prove effectual,
repeat as often as necessary. These
two receipts have been used for
twenty years, and proved to be
good.

One OF the best farmers east of

one hundred dollars on q shed
thirty feet long by twelve wide,
under which his cart, wagon, sled,
moving machine, plows, hoes,
and chains could be Kept when not
IN use. His implements are rs
good now as they were then, With
the exception of the inevitable
wear which their use involves, and
in the opinion Of the owner the
building has saved him at least
twenty per cent. Of its cost each
year. The same roof can be many
times made to cover lott which
can be used rs a granary, or fol
some other purpose which the bust.

Buying Cattle fer Tattsnipg.

The Kansas City Droyer says:
1--WE know = maa who bought two
hundred head of poor Texas cattle
in this market last winter at one
and a half cents per pound and
took them by rail- to his farm. He
has used up feeding them large
amount of rough feed that never
would have been used in any other
ways. nor paid freight in any form.
He has fed them the corn product
of his own extensive fields and has
bought very large amounts from his
ncighbors, for which, by the way,
he paid more than the market price
has since been, and bought it right
there in the fields. The cattle are
now tat and marketable al Eve and
six cents pound. All: concerned
have made money; many men have
been employed; trade at the near
est towns has been benefited; more
buildings and articles of luxury will
be required, and trade from the
city to the country will be stimula-
ted to that extent, ;and the cattle
will be transported to some point
by rail at last. % =

Hearth and Home objects to the
very common practice Of dumping
manure in heaps on the farm, leaving
it to be spread at leisure atterward
and details a single case of injury
to wheat and oats from lodging
rust, otc., on the spots where the
heaps had been made. We have
often noted much the same result
both on grain and grass land. Even
when not allowed to remain long
enough to inflict actual damage to
future crops, it always results in
unequal fertility; the site of heaps
will exhibit three or four times the
productiveness of the adjoining
land. The best way is to spread

Tho Largest Recorded Yield II Corn.

Scion Robinson some years ago
stated before the American Institu-
te Farmers Club that the largest
known yield Of corn was few
quarts in excess of 200 bushels per
acre, and that this crop was grown
in South Carolina. In the report OF
the United States Department OF
Agriculture for 1870, there is an
account of some experiments made
in corn culture in South Carolina,
and rs the yield is about that men,
toned by Mr.. Robinson, it may refer
to tie same crop. At any rate, the
details will be interesting to such
farmers rs have not seen them. II
the reference is not to the same
crop, then South Carolina must
have twice produced over 200
bushels of corn to the acre.
In the proceedings Of the annual
convention of the South Carolina
Agricultural and Mechanical Society
for 1860 is a report by Mr.. J. w,
Parker of experiments Of growing
corn, of which the following is an
extract: Selection was made Of a
quagmire grown over with rushcs
willows and sour grass, Astounding
with snakes and malaria and travcr'
sed by winding sluggish stream
Thorough drainage was attained by
the construction Of a canal and
under drains, and during the sum
mer the land was cleared, lcvelcd
and broken up with a two-horse
pillow. In November heavy coat
of cow-honse manure was applied
and plowed under, and the process
was repeated in January, and again
in March, with subsoiling. In April
the weeds having obtained luxu
RANT growth, were lined and turned
under; in May, another coat of man
urc was plowcd under, and tn.
ground was narrowed perfect,
level and laid off in rows three fee
apart. In the burrows were applied
Peruvian guano, salt and plaster, Al
the rate of 200 pounds to each acre
The seed corn having been sOakc(
in solution of nitre and rolled il
plaster, was dropped ten inchc.
apart in the rows, and covered will
rakcs, after which the land wal
rolled. The crop was up in tiv'
days from planting, and, as soon Al
it was sufficiently large, long
narrow pillow was run around it
followed by the hoe, the crop being
kept clean by shallow, level cultur'
until it began to shoot and tassel
The field was then irrigated b,
conveying from n reservoir a gentl
flow of water through every alter
nate row. The yield on two acre
was l47 bushels per acre. Tn
following year the experiment wa
repeated in like manner; except tina
the rows were laid off p feet apart
One acre yielded 2OOA bushels, a

Mr.. Parker received premiums Of
these crops from the Society named
He attributes much to irrigation il
these instances OF extraordinar,
products, and concludes from thes'
and former experiments that success
in corn growing depends greatly oil

Mr.. Chas. L. Flint, the we'll known

Mr.. Chas. L. Flint, the we'll known
writer on grasses, advocates their
seeding alone, and generally late in
summer or fall, and asserts: /.
That early fall seeding without
grain should be adopted in practice
in preference to seeding in SPRING.
2. That, as general ralc, it is poor
economy to take any grain. crop
either with or immediately proceed
ing the seeding down to grass.
That tho grass being the ultimate
and paying crop, it is bad practice
to reduce the land by the draft
which grain crop makes upon it,
8. That wherever, from any local
reason, it becomes desirable to take
q crop of spring grain, it is more
economical to sow the grain alone
in the spring, and to pillow up the
stubble and sow the grass seed
alone in the early fall. 4. That in
cases where it seems desirable to
SOW grass seed in spring, it is bet
ter to sow it alone and let it take its
chance, without compelling it to
struggle for existence under the
disadvantages Of grain or any
other crop. 5. That in seeding
down in August or early in Septem
Der, we are following nature as tc
time, and that, unless the ground is
already rich and in high condition
it is necessary to give the seed The
benefit of an application Of manure
on or near the surface TO which the
seed is applied. 8. That in tho
selection Of seed for moving lots
and hay, we should choose varietie.
to mix that blossom at or nearly n
the same time, and not mix yer,
early and very late varieties
together. "A.

most amusing parts of the pro-
grammc was the potato match.
Four bushels of potatoes were
placed along the trotting course, in
four lines OF bushel each, and a.
bout a foot apart on the ground.
The four contestants each had a
wheelbarrow, and at the word "go''
commenced picking up the pota-
toes and depositing them in the
wheelbarrows, and the first to get
them loaded up and return to the
starting point was to be declared
the champion potato-picker, and re-
