SEED TIMOTHY IN STANDING
CORN.

anv Of the old modes Of seeding timothy.
Two-tbirds of the time only partial set
is obtained and the farmer, hoping for
Improvement in the set, cuts and rakes
oyer Che ground year aftsr year, getting
a Lalf crop of hay,or less,and that largely
mixed with weeds and briers, until he
finds that the weeds and briers are i'm
proving in their set. Then he concludes
to cultivate the land in corn or some 9TH
err crop to kill out the briers, preparatory
to another trial at seeding to timothy.
sz will warrant any of the cid modes to
fail two-thirds of the time to get good
set and crop-full average crop-the
first year, and I will warrant two-thirds
of the efforts to succeed in good sets and
a full average crop the first year if seeded
in standing corn in a proper manner. The
farmer should have the seeding in view
in the preparation of the ground for the
corn crop in the spring. The corn
should be planted and cultivated "both
ways" as farmers say-grourd left clear
and level. Sow any time between the
10Th of August and the last of September,
stirring the ground immediately after
(and bafore too if he pleases) with her-
row or light cultivator. Cut the stocks
level with the ground as soon as the corr
is gathered-roll ia winter and spring.
EG.
To PREVENT CATTLE JUMPING
correspondent Of the Vermont Farmer
thus describes an improved poke oil
jumping stick First, put piece across
the horns. Then have piece of hard
wood board ,gone~half or three-fourth inch
thick and about three feet lorg. Have s
hole inserted in the bar across the hornt
in such q way that when this hard woes
strip is inserted in it, running out over
the back, as the animal naturally carries
its head, the rear end will be Just free o.
the back Drive three Or four shingle
nails, ground sharp, into this end, letting
them come through three-feurths of &r
inch, so that as soon as the animal make;
an effort to raise his head to jump the
the fence, the nails will souudly prick his
back. and ne will be apt to frisk his tai
and start for some feed that ia easier tx
be obtained For cbeapness and durabil
&c ., Id ,
weighs less than three pounds it is not
in the way in travelling around, and when
the animal lies down it is on one side, as
it is natural for the animal to throw It's
head opposite to the side it lies on. Wher
they ara feeding it is upright in the air
It will keep the animal to which it is ap
piled where he belongs, sure.
SENDING FRESH PEACHES TO EUROPE
There is no telling to what extent tn,
fruit business of Maryland and the ada
cent States may be carried in the du
couse Of tlme-what with the canning
and drying processes, now introduced 81
extensively, the time will soon come whe
discovery WILDE made by which fresl
fruit, now considered perishable in o da
or two after being gathered, can be s
preserved as to be carried across the ocea
by the speedy conveyances furnished b
our steamships to Europe. j. B. Fenni
more, Esq, packed crate of choie
peaches and forwarded them by the In
man line of mail steamers, to the Quee
Of England. The peaches are of the Vi
rietiea known as Troths," "Yorks" an
"Reeves Favorites," and were separated
wrapped in paper prepared by firm
Boston tor preserving fruits from decay
Mr. FennImore has made series If ex
periments with the paper and now max
the first bold experiment of transport.n
fresh peaches direct to Europe. He ais
shipped q crate to the captain of th
steamer, who agrees not to open it till b
gets to Liverpool, and acquaint MIR. Fer

KEELING IN TREES IN THE FALL.-Th
Ga, deaaer's Monthly, upon the subject {
covering tee roots of trees during Wiz

more trees are lost from imperfect hee

has seen the way in which the roots
trees are buried in masses, with large ir
tersticss of air everywhere among tn
roots, will assent to. Trees badly heeIe'

before planting out. Clods and mass
of earth are merely thrown Ga the top
