CARD.

As it has been extensively reported by
rival sewing machine companies and
their peddlers, that the manufacture and
sale of the GROVER Il BAKER SEW
ING MACHINES had been suspended,
and the machines and the parts could no
longer be obtained, 1 beg leave to state
that the business of manufacturing the
machines has ONLY been changed, and
that the supply will be larger, and better
and the sale of these Celebrated Ma
chimes more vigorously pushed than
ever before. The popularity OF the
GROVER & BAKER Machines is hard
to overcome, and it is only by such
means and misrepresentation that many
of its rivals even effect loan Of their
machines.

DISBUDDING FRUIT TREES.

The season for disbudding fruit trees is
tast approaching. The Importance of the
operation is generally acknow ledged, and
upon It's proper performance depends the
production of clean, healthy wood, and
the best of fruit. Take, for instance, a
single branch Of the peach tree, when it
first starts in the spring; if in healthy
fruit-bearing condition, it will throw out
many shoots and great number of bios
SONS, and if the whole of these were left.
it is probable two or three of the leading
shoots would draw all the nourishment to
themselves, and become rank and over
luXuriant, whilst the remainder would be
weak and worthless. In like manner the
fruit would be small, ill-favored, and a
great portion abortive. Hence the prun-
ing called disbudding, by which we mean
the removal of every shoot that is not re-
quired, and the stopping of new shoots
that apparently are not wanted to give
form and health to the tree, by rubbing
out buds, which, if left, would grow. The
same should be done with the fruit bios
SONS; so many of them should be rubbed
away as to leave the remaining ones to
gather full food and form good fruit. AL
varieties Of fruit trees require, annually
this system OF pruning and the time to do
it is when they are in full bloom.-Prac
ticaL Farmer.
The daily gazette., 1877-03-09
DRAINING.

A recent writer in one Of our leading
exchanges, advises series of deep dead
furrows in plowing all lands that ara
much rolling or hilly. and asserts that
this is all the drainage needed in such
cases. If the writer had ever cultivated
billy farm, he would have learned that
such a course is very unwise. We have
known hilly fields to be almost ruined by
the deep ditches washed out by leaving
dead burrows for drainage. Hilly land,
with soil liable to wash, should be kept
in grass as much as possible and when
should be kept as level as possible, with
no open burrows for drainage. If open
burrows are needed at all, it is for the
p urpose of checking the wash and pre-
venting the waste of the best part of the
soil. Underdrains are the best in all
cases-on hilly or level land.
