Cuttin, of Lower Limbs.

1t is very common error, and a very
injurious one to cut off large limbs near
the body of tree. We meet with mu-
tilated fruit trees all over the country
which have suffered in this way from the
use of an ak or saw. Forest trees that
are hollow, furnishing habitations in
their trunks for squirrels and other ami
mails and birds. should teach lesson
showing the danger and folly of remov-
ing large limbs from the trees trunk.
Rotting is almost certain to follow for
the wound is too large to heal over, and
sufficient care is seldom taken to cover
the surface with sufficient protection.
to keep out moisture in the atmosphere.
The consequence is decay sets in, and
eventually the tree becomes rotten at
the heart, and the whole becomes injured
and loses much of its vitality.

Tennessee Lambs for the Nsrtl.

Lambs to the value of $4,000 were
shipped from here North during the
spring, and this was the initiatory step
toward still larger business this season.
One man alone proposes to ship 10000
while another will probably send of H.
600. 1t is estimated that altogether
from $4,000 to $4,000 will go North
from this and other points in Middle
Tennessee during the next few months.
Last spring lambs sold in this market
at $3.50, and it is believed there will be
slight advance on that figure this
spring. Tennessee lambs can be placed
in the Northern markets six weeks earli-
er than from elsewhere; hence the de.
mand and good prices.-Mashriue Press.

Possibilities of an Acre Of Land.

No man knows what these are. We
know that two hundred bushels of corn
were Cnce grown on one acre, and tina;
five bales of cotton have been male on
the same area of soil, but we do not
know that the limits of production were
reached in either case We should try
to find out not merely how much of any
given crop can be produced on an acre
Of land. but how cheaply it can be grown
"a big crop may not, in all cases, be a
profitable one. 1t may cost too much
to make it. The greatest yield with the
smallest outlay of capital and labor is
what we must aim at. AS we have said
beforehand we wish to impress the
truth on the readers mind-our farmers
are often poor, hot so much because
their crops are small-and small they
are compared with what they might be
as because it costs too much to make
them. We must learn to make large
crops with less labor.

Large Wheat Yields.

The Augusta (Butler connty) Gazette
publishes an affidavit signed by Jos. A.
Bent, an old and respected citizen of Du
Page county, Ills, to the effect that on
the ODD of October, he tested by actual
weight, bushel of wheat raised by
Jariel Wilday on his farm adjoining
Augusta, Butler county, Kansas, and
found it to weigh in rounded or machine
measure, 81 pounds per bushel. By the
testimony of the said Jariel Wilday, and
the two men who attended the measur-
ing, there were of the said lot of wheat
which threshed by itself, for seed, meas
ured 365 machine or 39l bushels of legal
weight of 60 pounds per bushel. Mr..
Bent also makes oath that ne measured
with a measuring line, the field on which
the said wheat was raised, and found it
to be six acres and one-fifth of an acre,
making the land average GO bushels and
pounds per acre. The land was plowed
deep and the seed drilled in. The same
land has been in wheat for two years
previous, and was not manfred or fertil-
lied by artificial means. He adds that
he found larger fields in Butler, Marion
and Cowley counties, which yielded from
45 to 81 bushels per acre. Mr.. Bents
affidavit is supplemented by the sworn
statement of Jarie! Wilday, owner Of the
land mentioned, who says that the state
ments made in Mr.. Bent's affidavit as to
wheat raised on his (Wilday's) land, are
correct in every particular.

Washing Made Easy.

Some months ago, some one inquired
for a recipe to make washing easy.
send one which have used many years
and consider the best l have ever tried
Five pounds hard soap, melt with one
quart of I've, one-fourth ounce pearlash
when the soap is dissolved put it into
the vessel where it is to remain. When
it is cool enough to put your finger in
for minute, add half a pint each Of
spirits of turpentine and hartshorn. Stil
all well, cover tight, and it is ready foi
Use.
Directions for using: Make a large
and hot suds; put down your dirtiest
white clothes, then the cleanest, soaping
dirty places; let them soak half an hour
or until you get your breakfast dishes
put away; then tell Harry that if he
will turn the wringer, you will make Il
pudding for dinner. 4 slight rubbing
will remove any remaining dirt; then
rinse through two waters beside the
blueing, and you will not need to boil
them more than once a month. Treat
your colored clothes the same way, and
if there isn't more than bakers dozen
to wash for, and you step around lively
1 guess you will find plenty of time to
make that pudding, and get yourself
tidied up before dinner.
Some object to the turpentine, but l
don't believe it will ever hurt any one,
if they rinse in warm water-and no
woman should ever rinse in cold, after
washing in hot water. F. w.

Artich0kes Tor Hogs.

EDITORS RURAL WORLD'-Why do
not farn'ers pay more aiscH'''n to the
culture of artichokes for sn me? No
crop yields so abundantly or is more
easily cultivated, or is so free from the
ravages of insects. 1t does not need dig.
ging and storing like other crops. 1t is
hardy and fleeing and thawing does not
injure then, at all. The hogs will dig
and eat them as they want them. They
are healthy food-the natural food of
swine. Hogs have shoots to dig for and
dig tubers, in their wild or domestic
state. They are sure prevention of hog
cholera. In all my inquiries, no one
who has had patch of artichokes for his
hogs has ever lost one by disease known
as hog cholera The ar:ichokes are cool
ing to the bowels, keep them opens sllay
feever, and are natural swine food. The
reason there ere SO many sick hcss is,
they don't get their natural food. They
are kept artificially.
will give the readers of the Rural
World the best plan of raising artichokes.
If convenient have Il field of few acres
that is connected with the hog pasture
so that when the artichokes are grown
the fence may be opened, and the hogs
can have the run of the artichoke field.
Plow the ground deeply as for any other
crop, and harrow and prepare it as
though you were going to plant potatoes
then plant the artichokes as you do
potatoes-laying off rows two and half
to three feet apart. and dropping a piece
of artichoke every twelve or fifteen
inches in the row. They may be cult
waited a few times with the horse cult
vator, when they will asarp entire pos.
session of the ground, and make very
vigorous growth.
The tubers do not attain much size
till after blosscEiming, which is towards
fall, when they grow very rapidly. The
hogs should not be turned in till after
the frost, and then they can remain in all
winter, and will keep in the finest health
and growth till spring, with but little
other feed if enough artichoke ground
has been provided for them. In the
spring the same ground can be plowed
or narrowed smooth, the hogs kept out,
ard another TALL there will be a larger
crop than before of artichokes to feed
upon. There will be so many small
tubers and eyes left in the ground, that
it will be thoroughly covered. The
ground is enriched by the crop, as the
droppings OF the soil, is beneficial. They
should be planted any time in the spring
but the earlier the better, As frost does
not injure after planting. l am highly
pleased with the Rural World for the live !
ly interest it manifests in the improved
breeds of domestic animals; and as
swine breeding is an important branch
of stock raising, | have thrown out these |
hints, believing they will be of great
value to the pork raisers of the west.

The Kansas Farmer makes the follow
ing sensible suggestion:
We would suggest to the farmers to
procure an early seed corn and plant at
least ten acres each. Early corn may
not yield as many bushels per acre, but
will ripen and be safe for moderate
crop, even if we should be blessed with
a dry hot summer and an abundance of
grasshoppers. We would also recon-
mend that you SOW few acres of Hun
garian and Millet, as early as possible.
1t can be cut before your other harvest
and secure you an abundance of hay in
case of a failure of our native grasses.

Every one should know that hot water
will restore cut flowers that are faded by
being worn on the dress or carried in the
hand. Cut half an inch from the end of
the stem, and put it directly into boiling
water; the petals will smooth and re-
sumo their beauty in few minutes.
Colored flowers will revive most perfect
ly. for white flowers are inclined to curl
and turn yellow. THE thickest textured
flowers will be restored the most wonder
fnlIy. Flowers will keep fresh after this
treatment almost as long as they would
have done if freshly gathered.

Fifty fowls will make in the roostine
house alone, one-half ton per annum OF
the best manure in the world. Hence
fifty fowls make more than enough to
manure an acre of land, seven cwt. Of
guano being the usual quantity applied
per acre, and poultry manure is known
to be still richer in ammonia and fertil.
lzlng salts. No other stock will give an
equal return in this way; and the fig

Handling Colts.

The successful trainer of fast horse:
has learned that he must control the in
telligence of the animal rather than re
sort to the whip as the means Of securing
speed. Among the few who are engaged
in the education of the fine horses Of the
country this matter is well understood
and to great extent relied upon. The
fact of the great speed attained by our
modern trotters is largely due to the en-
ployment of a system of true education,
and an appeal to the horse intelligence.
There is as much difference in the value
of an educated horse and an uneducated
one, as there is in the ways of an accum-
plished scholar and the Chinese laborer
and how easy a matter it is to give the
horse this education.
If colt is never allowed to get an
advantage, it will never know that it
possesses power that man cannot con-
troll; and if made familiar with strange
objects it will not be skittish and nerv-
Gus. If horse is made accustomed
from his early days to have objects hit
him on his heels, back and hips, he will
pay no attention to the giving out of
harness or of wagon running against
him at an unexpected moment. Horses
when once given to understand the stu
alton, are easily managed thereafter.
Farmers who are engaged in raising
horses should avail themselves of every
opportunity to learn the best modes of
handling colts, and then see to it that
the boys act in conformity with the
methods. But, in all your handling of
stock, let kindness be a prominent feature.
