The Plymouth Rocks

We do not imagine that any breed of poul-
try contain within themselves all the merits
belonging to the distinct races. Each one
has its own pecuiarities, adapting it to differ
ent climates or situations, and the tastes or
necessities of individuals. Some varieties are
kept for ornament without regard to profit,
others merely for speculation, and in many
cases only that they may pick up the scat
tered waste of the farm. Profit, however, is
the principal object in poultry keeping, and
this is derived mainly from eggs and the flesh
of chickens or of mature fowls. After a
careful comparison of the statements of ex-
perienced poultry men who have made trial
of the leading breeds, we are inclined to be-
lieve that the weight of evidence is in favor
Of the Plymouth Rocks. Not perhaps that
they surpass in all respects the other vare-
ties, but that they possess on the whole the
largest combination of desirable qualities and
will prove the most profitable to the average
household. The general testimony to which
VIC have referred, seems to establish the fact
that this breed are hardy, good layers, fit for
the table early, of good size when fully
grown, active enough when at liberty, and
contented under restraint. The mere bird
fancier will condemn the breed as not yet
fully established, and as having tendency to
revert to the original stock; but as at present
advised, without any experience in keeping
them, we should give them the preference in
selecting single variety for general use.

standard Currants and Gooseberries.

Standard Currants and GOOseberries.
Although the horticulturalists of Europe
have for several years practiced the method
of grating currants and gooseberries as STAN
dards. it has only within half dozen years
been introduced in this country. The first
of these standards were brought from Ger
many to New Jersey, and have not been
largely extended beyond the limits OF that
state, or the immediate vicinity of New York.
The Missouri currant, Ribesaureun, is the
stock used in the country and is grated when
two years old-using the whip-graft method
or the cleft-graft for heavy stocks, wrapping
with waxed paper Several gratis may be
inserted in a single plant with a branching
head-of one or more varieties, either cur
rants, or gooseberries. Some of the advan-
tages of thus growing these small fruits are,
complete freedom from mildew and the borer,
earlier and increased productivenes and larger
and better fruit, while the plants themselves
are highly ornamental in gardens or pleasure
grounds. As the standards" are four 10 six
feet high when grated, they should be Sc
curely tied to a stake. They should be set
out in good soil, well MANFRED and heavily mul
ched-and not too much exposed to the heat.
The thirty plants that were exhibited at the
Centennial in the rear of Horticultural Hall,
were planted in April, and bore fine crops Of
large and snowy fruit without special care.
They were exhibited by Mr. A. Kuhn OF
Hoboken. who first introduced them in this
country and from whose description this in
formation has been derived.

A Coed Cow.

Mr.. Snyder in the Rural Nep Yorker gives
an account of COW he bought out of an Or
binary lot, when she was giving eight quarts
of milk per day. From January Is to Octo-
Der 80, he kept the:record as follows: 9,0S4
pounds of milk; the amount of butter made
from her milk during the same time was 800
pounds, which, adding the amount which
could have been made from 56S pounds of
milk sold and the total yield of butter during
the 290 days, is 341 pounds ounces, or IS
$500 ounces per day. Mr.. Snyder gives his
manner of treatment:
"Her regular diet has been dry, uncut hay,
averaging Is to 20 pounds per day, with four
quarts OF mill feed, one-eighth meal, two
eighth bran, each morning, noon and even
ing, also about one pint OF oil meal per day.

Pruning Grapevines.

In many localities apegrowers are be-
ginning to be discouraged, on account of the
increase of disease among their vines; either
mildew, grape-rot, or Phylloxera. Whether
these serious evils are occasioued by the age
of the vine, the heat and moisture of the at
mosphere, the condition of the soil. or are
mainly the result of parasite attacks, it is
not easy to determine. It. may be well for
those who are apprehensive of trouble or
who have already suffered from these enc
mics of the vine, to return to first principles,
and take lessons from nature-n other words,
to refrain from excessive pruning. This is
the suggestion also of intelligent and expert
enced vine-growers. In the forest, the wild
grape rarely rots or suffers from any disease.
There it has ample room, and excessive fruit
bearing is checked by the vigorous growth of
wood. Let the young vines have room, and
prune but little at first, and allow but few
clusters to ripen, and then we may look for
healthy vines and sound fruit. Under the
modern system of close pruning, and stimu-
lated fruit growing, the hardest and most re-
liable varieties are beginning to talter; and it
is quite time that reform in some direction
should begin.

CATARRH.
TWEEVa1 YEARS
OF SUFFERING.

Gentlemen:-About twelve years ago, while trav-
cling with Father Kemp's Old Folks Concert Troupe
as tenor singer, took cold and laid up
at Newark, j. This cold brought on a severe at
tack of Catarrh, which battled with every known
remedy for four weeks without avail and was finally
obliged to give up most desirable position and
turn home unable to sing note. For three years
afterwards was unable to Sing at ALL The first at
tack of Catarrh had left my nasal organs and throat
so sensitive that the slightest cold would bring
fresh attack, leaving me Frustrated. In this way
continued to suffer. The last attack the severest
ever had, was terrible, suffered the most excruci
ang pain in my head, so hoarse to be scarcely
able to speak, and cOughed necessarily. thought
was going into quick consumption and firmly be-
lieve that had these symptoms continued without
lief they would have rendered me an easy victim.
When in this distressing condition, commenced the
use of SANFORD's RADICAL CURE FOR CATARRH,
very reluctantly, confess as had tried all the adj
vertsed remedies without benefit. The first dose of
this wonderful medicine gave me the greatest relief.
1t is hardly possible for whose head aches, eyes
ache, who can scarcely articuate distinctly on
count of the choking accumuatons in his throat, to
realize how much elief obtained from the first
application of SANFORD's RADICAL CURE. Under
its influence, both internal and external, 1 rapidly
recovered, and by an occasional use of the remedy
since have been entirely free from Catarrh, for the
first time in twelve years.
