Autumn Planting.

P. Barry furnishes to the Rochest Ru-
raj Home = statement of some of his ex-
pertinent in fall planting. Last fall,
quite late, after the hurry of the season
was over, he set out 800 dwarf pear trees.
After they were set, the earth was drawn
up around the base six or more inches,
to protect the roots, and to stiffen the
trees against the wind. Towards the
end of May the earth was leveled. Wig
orous new roots were thrown out from
the ounce stock, and the trees are grow
ing rapidly. He thinks that for most
years fall planting is the best. To which
we may add that the harm likely to re-
suit from it generally arises from bad
drainage, and from a neglect of the crust
of the surface from winter settling. Give
the trees a good, dry, rich bottom, and
keep the surface mellow through the
spring and summer, and fall-set trees
will get better start than those trans
planted in the spring.

PLUCK THE FLowERs.-All lovers of
flowers must remember that one blossom
allowed to mature, or so to seed, Injuries
the plant more than dozen buds. Cut
your flowers then, all of them, before
they begin to fade. Adorn your rooms
with them; put them on your tables !;
send boquets to your friends who have
no flowers, or exchange favors with those
who have. You will surely find that
the more you cut off the more you will
have. All roses after they have ceased
to bloom should be cut back, that the
strength of the root may 60 to forming
new roots for next year. On bushes not
a seed should be allowed to mature

Superiority Of Kansas Wheat.

The following is from the Independ-
ence Tribune. The editor was comforting
with Mr.. F. H. Anderson, an experienced
miller of that place:
In 1868, while milling in Jasper Co.,
Mo-, 1 observed that 1 obtained yield
of two pounds of -four more per bushel
from wheat grown across the line in
Kansas, than on the famous "red' lands
in Missouri, which had been led to be-
lieve was the best wheat lands. Not
understanding the reason, I sent samples
of wheat to New York, and had it anal
yzed by the Leibig system, and I found
that the Kansas wheat contained two
per cent. more starch and two per cent.
more gluten than Missouri wheat. p
Coming to Montgomery county in 1872,
I found the same results-that our wheat
would make more -four per bushel than
any had ever milled. In the crop of
'73 there was no deficiency of starch and
gluten, but in IA the quality was not so
good-lacked the deposit of water in the
kernel. In rs the crop was the finest l
ever saw, and the damage sustained was
after the crop was cut and in the shock.
This year, 1876, the quality of the wheat
is the best ever raised in the county, but
the yield per acre is not so great as in
rs, owing to the heavy rains in the
spring.
During the past five years wheat has
not been injured to any extent by in
sects, but one year, and then only later
varieties. He reports that during each
year, with thorough cultivation, the
quality has improved, and after examin-
alton of samples from other States. he
gives it as his opinion that no better
wheat is raised than in this county. Mr..
A. has sent for a sample of the best Sac
valley wheat, and will send it
and one from this county and haye them
analysed and report results through the
Tribune.
To show the benefits of thorough filth,
be cites an instance where one farmer got
4 yield of but fifteen bushels. Not con-
tent with that he plowed his field shall
low just after barvesting-the weeds
grew fast and by September were rank
he then plowed the field deep, narrowed
snd rolled it thoroughly, and then drilled
in his seed. By this means he got an
average Of 50 bushels from the same
field, which by ordinary cultivation pro-
iuced only Is bushels.

Fruit Trees in Ornamental Grounds.

A correspondent of the Gardners
Monthly recommends the planting of
fruit trees more generally about the
lawns and schrubbery. He proposes
clumps of dwarf pears, of ounces, and of
plums. These would answer, provided
the ground could be kept mellow and
enriched or in other words they should
stand in large cultivated bed. Borders
of gooseberries and currants are recon-
mended. He would alternate the straw
berry in beds with the tigridians, gladi-
olus and tubereses. Chestnut and other
nutbearing trees could be planted where
there is sufficient space. These sugges-
tions might be carried out on some pla-
ces, but generally it would be more ad-
visable to use such groups and paintings
on the borders of ornamental grounds ap-
preaching the orchards, for blending the
two together, or for transition from one
to the other, the orchard trees being
planted in quincunx form, and the hand
soonest growers selected for this purpose.

A. Excellent Cleansing Fllid.

Ihave used it to wash alpaca, cancels
hair, and other wooden goods, and find it
invaluable for removing marks that
little hands have made on furniture,
carpets, rugs ETC.: Four OF. ammonia;
4 OF. white CASTLE soap; 2 OF. alcohol; 2
OF. glycerine; 2 OF. ether. Cut the soap
fine; dissolve in l quart water over the
fire; add quarts.water. When nearly
cold add the other Ingredients. This will
make nearly 8 quarts, and will cost
about rs cents to make. It must be
put in bottle and stoppered tight. 1t
will keep good any length Of time.
When I wash dress goods I take a pail of
lukewarm water, and put in about
teacupful of the fluid, shake around we'll
in this, and then rinse in plenty of clean
water, and iron on wrong side while
damp. For washing grease from coat
collars. ETC., merely take little of the
fluid in a cup of water, apply with a
clean rag. It will make every thing
wooden look bright and fresh.-Cor. Chi

Picking Caeunbers.
The following, from the Grocer may be
r. ,,.a ~ <hsa oo0eon.

The following, from the Grocer may b
of use at this season:
For picking purposes the cucumbel
in all stages of its growth is used, from
the large vegetable which is cut int
slices and sold to the cheap grocery
stores, to the smallest size gherkin
which is preserved entire. In buying
selling and estimating qualities, oucum
bers, whether large or small, are counted
not measured. The farmers sort the GU
cumbers into three sizes, small, medium
and large; the factories have five sizes,
viz: very small, small, medium, large,
and very large. Of these different sizes
5000 of the very small would fill an or
binary whisky barrel; 5000 of the small;
1000 of the medium; 1,4OO of the large,
and 800 of the very large. The cucum-
bers, on being picked at their place Of
growth, are taken by the farmers to the
sailing houses, whence they are removed
to pickle-factories. Most of the sailing
houses are within a few miles of where
the plant is grown, as the fresh crop will
not bear long transportation. Although
some farmers do their own sailing, in
most cases the latter is separate BUSH
ness, conducted on large scale the man.
ufacturers buying of the salters. The
pickles, on being taken from the brine,
are "freshed up" that is, they are put
in large wooden watts containing fresh
water, to extract the salt. This water is
changed three times during the freshen-
ing process, after which the cucumbers
are packed into casks or bottles for sale.
The best vinegar in use for picking in
this country is that made from the West
ern high-wines. In avinegar made from
wood the pickles soon become soft, and
even cider vinegar, though the best and
most wholesome for table purposes, will
not preserve pickles more than month.
All the artificial vinegars made from
acids fail in this respect, and from vitriol
especially. Cucumbers picked in high
wine vinegar will keep for an almost in
definite time, and will come out as
good as at first, after an interval Of sew
eral years. Large quantities of very fine
cucumbers and csuliflowers are imported
from Holland, which country likewise
ounpl;os tho T nndon M rkot Tho pickIas
which are thus imported into this coun-
try have the advantage of low prices,
due to the cheapness of labor abroad,
and, in addition to the best possible
sample, with the least amount of trouble
at the factory. With the requisite
amount of care and attention, we can,
in this country, make as good pickle as
can be made in London.

A German authority states that good
blacking for leather may be made thus :
Dissolve II lbs. of green vitrol and 8
lbs, of tartaric acid in 9 gallons of water.
After the settling draw off the clear
liquid; then boil 16 lbs. of logwood with
about IS gallons of water and II gallons
of the fluid. Let the boiled mixture
stand for about eight days, pour it off
from the sediment, dissolve in it 2 lbs. of
grape sugar, and mix this liquid with
the green vitrol solution. The backing
so obtained may be made still brighter
by mixing the logwood decoction with 4
lbs. of analine black-blue before the ad-
dition of the vitrol. The application of
the blacking is very simple. The leather
is first we'll brushed with a solution of
soda, or, still better with spirits of sal
ammoniac, in twenty-five times as much
water, to get rid of the grease. The
backing is then applied with the proper
brush.

Collie.

DR.. Tuthill, in reply to an inquiry in
the Inter- Ocean, says: These frequent
attacks of collie are no doubt caused by
indigestion. Horses that are fed on good
sound provender, and moderately worked
are seldom sick, and the probability is
that if NJ. NJ. H. will exercise a little
more judgment in feeding, watering, and
working his horse, he will have no fur
Their cause to complain. Feed regularly
three times a day oats and hay Gree
from dust, must or other impurities) in
limited quantities. Never water your
horses for at least one hour before or
after feeding time. In ordinary attacks
of collie, the following will be found very
effective: I'll. opii, OF; tincture Of
camphor, OF; tincture of capsicum, l
dr.: water, OF mix. The dose may be
repeated in two hours. if necessary.

Grass il King.

The fact that well-managed grass lands
must be the main dependence of the
American farmer, for profitable returns,
is now very generally admitted by the
great mass of intelligent observers, and
there is consequently increased attention
everywhere observable in the care and
management of these lands. But in
view of the fact that the results of the
most carefully conducted scientific in
vestigations, and the experience of all
practical farmers have demonstrated that
early cut grass and clover are vastly
superior in nutritive value to the more
matured crop, it is unaccountable that
80 many farmers are found to disregard
these lessons, and allow their hay crop
to stand and ripen until it becomes hard
and indigestible.
Green grass, we know, will fatten cat
tie, sheep and hroses, while hay as gen.
orally cured, will barely keep stock in
condition. Our object, therefore should
be, to secure and preserve in the hay
crop the nutritive value of the green
grass; and to do this, all experience
proves that we must begin to cut the
crop (clover as we'll as grassy before it is
in full flower. And this early cutting,
let it be remembered, is quite as import.
onf "a tho uoo;pfo;popoo nf Tho 1;ca IF
the plants in the ground as it is to the
value of the hay. 1t is true that hay
cut at this stage requires a little more
in the curing than if cut after
all the Juices have been dried up, and
the plant has become dead ripe. In the
latter case it is frequently cured before
it is cut, while in the former good
weather and thorough tending is essen
tial to the highest stage of perfection in
The product. Care should be taken how
aver, not to cure hay too much-gct it
in the NOW bright and green, and then
you may be sure that the nutritive value
is not lost.
We all know how readily the after
nath starts after the first moving of the
harvest, while the late cut meadows, in
ordinary seasons, will hardly make a
tart at all. We therefore urge upon our
leaders the importance of an early hay |
because of the largely increased
'alue of the crop, and the undoubted
act, so often overlooked, that the prac-
ice is essential to the preservation of a
,ood "stand" of grass in our meadows

To prevent oyerreaching in horses

To prevent overreaching in horses
hasten the fore feet and retard the hind
ones. This is done by arranging the
shoes exactly opposite the general rule.
Raise the heels of the fore shoes as much
as consistent with common sense, and
lower the heels of the hind shoes by the
same rule. This will be more than likely
to remedy the evil, as it will assist the
fore feet to get out of the way in time
for n clean reach for the hind ones.

The Son of the Soil says the profession
of agriculture is coeval with the human
race. Adam and Eve were placed in
Eden to till it. Like too many nova
days, they neglected business and lost
their situations. But, because they were
failures, we need not despair. First at
tempts are rarely successful. Six thou
sand years have witnessed some slight
improvements. Let us continue to i'm.
prove; we shall be the better fox it.
A good farmer is not known by the
quantity of land he cultivates. Whole
townships, held in fee simple, will not
cntitle man to this distinction. Neither
will costly farm buildings, imported
stock, or expensive tools be sure indi-
cation of excellence.
A good farmer may own but single
acre and live in log house. His stock
may be counted by pairs, and his tools
may be the most primitive. But he
produces upon the smallest area the best
and largest possible crops. He constant
ly improves the quality of his land and
the extent of his wisdom. His corn crib
and his smoke house are never empty,
and the compost heap is continually in
creasing in size. He studies his profess
sion and tries to attain perfection.
Every COOL farmer makes it his con-
slant care to improve the quality OF his
stock, while increasing its quantity. 1t
costs no more time nor labor to raise a
valuable animal than scrubby one
The good one is always in request at a
price, the scrubby one can
scarcely be given away and is contin-
ual source of annoyance and shame to its
owner,
