WEEDS IN walks.

Those who have made walks in lawns or
pleasure grounds, have had no little trouble
in keeping them free from unsightly weeds.
Many devices have been employed to over
come the difficulty, with varying success.
The following from the Canada Farmer, can
be easily applied, and is well worth a trial ;
" A most efficient agent for the destruction
of weeds, and one not expensive, can be
made by boiling four pounds of arsenic and
eight pounds Of soda in twelve gallons of wa
ter. To every gallon of this boiling mixture
three gallons Of cold water should be added,
and the liquid carefully sprinkled over the
walks while it is yet warm. 1t is desirable
to do this in fine weather, and when the
walks are dry, so that the weeds and weed
seeds may have full benefit of the applica-
ton. Care must be taken not to let any of
the liquid fall on the leaves or reach the
roots Of any plant it is not desired to kill.
In twenty-four hours after the poison is put
on the walks every weed will be killed and
if it be thoroughly done, it will keep the
walks clean through the whole season."

SMALL FRUITS.

The term "small fruit" includes currants,
gooseberries, Strawberries raspberries, black
berries, cranberries, cherries, plums, grapes,
&c. In the whole range of cultivated plants
perhaps nothing is easier to cultivate and at
the same time surer, than the small fruits.
The most of them are natural to wide ex-
tent of zone, and the varieties of each kind
are so numerous that from the torrid to the
frigid zone they can be easily cultivated.
They are generally hardy, rapid growers and
great bearers. They will adapt themselves
to great variety of soil; will bear great
changes of temperature; will stand frosts,
droughts and vicissitudes exceedingly well.
They are very sure of Il crop, are very deli
cious, very healthy, and always in excellent
taste for any table; and yet they are but lit
tie raised. Not one farmer in ten gives any
considerable attention to small fruits. The
price is high. Every body likes them, and
yet nobody gets half as many as his health
demands. They are beauty and joy
everywhere, and yet but few so cultivate
them. They can be canned and so kept
through the whole year, and yet very few
SO keep them. Why? Only because people
believe it is difficult to raise them-troube-
some, uncertain. If they only knew that
corn and wheat and grass need more skill
and care in raising than the small fruits,
they would certainly begin this delightful
part of horticulture.

WATERING GARDENS IN HOT
WEATHER..

lnjudicious watering is an injury to most
garden plants; but properly performed, flor
there is right and wrong way of doing
it) it is a great aid to the plants, and few
are the gardens, flower or vegetable, that are
not watered artifcally during the period of
summer drouth. A slight watering in the
middle of the day is an injury rather than
benefit. The heated earth at once absorbs
the water thus applied, it bakes and forms
hard crust about the plant, the dews are not
absorbed, and the plant is in reality worse
Oft than if no water had been put on. 1t is
more important to keep the soil light and
loose about newly set plants flowers, &C.,
than it is to drench them with water. Where
this is done the moisture comes up from be-
low, the dew is absorbed, and the plant
thrives, which it cannot do so long as the
surface is crusted over. Always water at
night; and before watering have the ground
loosened up with the garden rake. Then
water liberally-the application of little
water is often no better than none. Indeed
we had rather keep the hoe going in flower
garden, in hot, dry weather, than the water
ing pot. The plants will stand the drouth
better by the former than the latter mode.
Too much water is as injurious to vegetable
life as too little; to drown out your plants
is as bad as to have them scorched-there-
fore use judgment in watering, as well as in
other matters connected with the care of your
gardens. Farmer.

HOW TO DESTROY INSECTS IN YOUR
ORCHARDS.

The address of j. w. Robson before the
10 Daviess county Qllinois) Horticultural
Society, has some excellent points relating to
orchard culture, and especially the depreda-
tons Of insects, and he recommends every
orchardist to observe these few details every
season:
"lst. Encourage the back-cap titmouse
and the hairy woodpecker, which destroy
the insect in the pupa state.
End. Light small bonfres in the orchard
on dark nights, after the sun has set. This
will destroy the moth.
Sd Pick up wormy fruit as soon as it
falls, run it right through the cider mill; or
throw it to the hogs to be eaten.
18th. Strips Of wooden cloth tied around
the trunks when the trees are in bloom, and
examined twice week will destroy those

A GOOD FARMER AND HIS FARM.

The best farmer between me and the city
Colonel Geo. E. Waring says is Ger
man, who few years ago worked by the
month on the farm he now owns. He saved
a little money then took farm son shares y
then he bought it then sold and bought a
larger one; and now he has one of the best
farms in the neighborhood worth $4,000.
He is very industrious never seems in a
hurry, but is always ahead with his work
You always see him at church Sundays, and
on his farm week days. He raises good
many calves, and when | was only half
through husking he had his corn in the crib
and the stalks in the barn, and fifteen head
of young cattle ON the stubble picking up
the leaves and scattered ears He has en-
arged and re-shingled the old barn, given it
coat Of paint, put on cutters, and conducts
the water into large cistern. His fences
are in perfect order The whole farm, gar
den and orchard, is a pattern of neatness and
thrift. Nowater stands on his low land no
weeds 60 to seed on his pastures. His back
lot, adjoining the woods, was covered with
partially decayed stumps, brambles and
weeds He set fire to the stumps, cleared
the land, summer-falowed it, and sowed it
to Diehl wheat and got this Year, forty
bushels per acre. And it is now in wheat
again, and is probably good for over thirty
bushels next harvest. Everything he does
prospers He is lucky" man-that is,
he has good sense, and has health, energy
and industry, to use it.

months gone came in again Jan. l, 1872.
As the calves came along we veaed five, and
"deaconed the other seven at three days
old. As the year was out the first of March,
l can now give the figures for the year. The
milk set from May 9TH to September LIST, was
the surplus milk of one cow kept for family
use, as the rest of the milk during that time
went to the cheese factory and was made in
to cheese. During this time | changed the
cows milk that was set for butter, as l wish

A large proportion of pale and white
blossoms are fragrant; and it is ascertained
that these predominant in northern regions.
We may therefore conclude that the relative
number of odorous flowers is greater towards
the poles than towards the equator. 1t
would seem that the too powerful action of
light and heat is opposed to the emanation of
the odor of flowers; and we see many spe-
cies which are scarcely fragrant during the
day, become so in the evening or night. But
if the odors emitted by the blossoms are
more frequent in the NORTH the reverse is the
case with the essences enclosed in the glands.
Plants with fragrant leaves, aromatic fruits,
and wood penetrated with essential oil, are
scarcely found in warm or tropical countries.

quently accounts of cows giving very large
amounts of butter. | think these are usu-
ally extraordinary instances, and generally
not accompanied with other statistical infor-
nation requisite to their being taken as any,
thing definite. do not advance my stats-
tics as deciding the matter in regard to the
amount of milk to the pound Of butter, but
only as far as my own case of years trial
Since | came to this farm each milking has
been weighed just after it has been drawn
from the cows. have set of small plat.
form scales and as each milking was weighed
it has been set down on a milk table that |
kept posted over the scales. Each months
milk has been kept by itself. have been
particular to set, skim and churn so that |
could keep each months milk and butter
separate, in my journal. As the milk had
all been weighed before cooling, there was
greater weight of milk than there should
be,-as certainly there is considerable es-
cape Of gas while the milk is cooling,-con-
sequently it would have weighed less after
cooling. Of the fourteen COWS kept, five
were grade Durhams and nine natives, in
Guiding the six Canada COWS.
AS to the feed of the COWS, L will first
say, that | am firm believer in feeding
well. My manner of feeding has been as
follows: Last spring, fed hay and grain, all
dry. The graiu was corn on the ear and
oats ground together, and then mixed with
sne-third shorts or bran. First in the morn
ing feed of four quarts of the grain to each
COW, then hay twice, then turned out to wa
ter, and if the weather was pleasant and
warm, they were not tied up again until four
p. NJ, then fed two feeds of hay, and last
another grain feed of the same amount as in
the morning. When the grass had got up so
that they could fill themselves, they went to
pasture, but the grain was taken off gradu-
ally after they went to pasture. In the sum-
mer while the feed was flush they had only
pasture feed, but as it grew short | peiced
up with fodder corn. Late in the fall they
had short run in fall feed, and when they
came into the barn they had their four feeds
of hay, straw or corn fodder, daily, with the
addition OF pumpkins as long as they lasted,
then cabbages, and when they were gone,
roots. When we began to feed cabbages, we
also began to feed grain again, and kept it up
all winter and fed the same as last spring.
generally milk so that the time between
milkings will be equal. My usual practice
is to milk at half past six night and morning.
All cabbages or roots are fed just after milk
ing and then there is no taste or faint of
them in the milk or butter. The cows were
