in alcohol, as thick as can be applied
with a brush, is considered by many as
the best preparation thatican be applied.
During the mild days Of winter, or
chards may be pruned- while little else
can be done; but good judgment should
be exercised in regard to selecting the
branches to be cut away. 1t is ruinous
to an orchard to cut and slash away
one-third to one-hnlf the limbs. All
that should be done is to give the trees
a good shape, and only cut away such
limbs as are plainly in excess Of the nat
ural requirements Of the tree, to con-
form to the extent Of its roots. IF we
take away too much of the top of tree
it is like taking blood from mantle
more that is taken, the less vitality re-
mains in him, therefore in pruning, only
the few unsightly branches, and those
improperly situated, should be cut
away-RuroI New Yorker.

Value Of Poultry Manure.

From actual experiment, we found
that the droppings from four Brahmas,
for one night, weighs in one case, exactly
one pound; and in another more than
three-quarters, on an average of nearly
four ounces to each bird. By drying,
this was reduced to not quite one and
one-half ounces Other breeds make
less; but allowing only one ounce per
bird daily Of dry dung, fifty fowls make
in their roosting houses alone about ten
hundred weight per annum of the best
manure in the world. Hence fifty head
of poultry will make more than enough
manure for an acre of land, seven hun
dred weight of guano being the usual
quantity applied per acre and poultry
manure being even stronger than guano
in ammonia and fertilizing salts. No
other stock will give an equal return
in this way, and these figures demand
careful attention from the large farmers.
The manure, before using, should be
mixed with twice its bulk of earth, and
then allow it to stand in heap, covered
with few inches of earth, till decom-
posed throughout, then it makes the
very best manure that can be had.

When to Prune Fruit Trees.

Long experience shows that when it
is desirable to produce free growth of
shoots and leaves, pruning should be
done when the trees are dormant, as in
the winter season, or early in the spring
before the sap begins to flow. When
fruit trees appear to grow too rapidly,
and to produce too much wood, they
may be pruned moderately in the sum-
mer season, cutting away a portion of
the wood by degrees; but shoot grow
ing in an improper place may be cut
away at any time. An experiment made
BY pruning apple trees every month in
the wounds of the branches cut in Feb
ruary and March, at the end of five
years, when all had healed over, were
found to be the least decayed under the
healed surface. When trees are pruned
in winter, or may say. at any time, it
is best to cover the wounds with q hot
mixture Of tar, and pulverized brick
dust OF fine sand. A solution Of shellac

Propagation by Cuttings.

The Gardeners Chronicle describes a
new process, not wholly unknown to
gardeners and nurserymen, for the
cheap propagation Of trees, shrubs,
roses, &c The cuttings are taken off
early in July, varying in length from six
to II inches, according to kind They
are then inserted two inches apart in a
fine bed of rich soil, which has been COW
cred two inches thick with ely-pulver-
lied spent manure-the leaves being
first removed from the lower part of the
cutting, which enters the soil, but re-
naming on the upper portion. A lath
fence surrounds each bed, so that shade
may be given in hot weather They are
watered three or four times a day for
the first week, so as to keep the leaves
constantly moist Afterwards once a
day will do. In five or six weeks they
will need no further shading. Later in
autumn protection of inches of coarse
manure is spread over them, which also
acceleratcs their growth in spring

The Carriage Horse.

The horse large enough and every
way suitable for a carriage is at the same
time good horse for the farmers use,
and for all purposes. The carriage horse
needs size-115O to 1900. and with such
substance he is very respectable farm
or team horse, and naturally good road
ster. The following is from an article
on this subject in the Kentucky Live
Stock Record: 'To gain style, finish
and gamey coach teams it is necessary
to have strong infusion of the thor
ough- bred blood Many trotting sires,
scattered through the state of Ken
lucky, possess all the requisites to breed
the fine coach and coupe horse; but we
cannot name them for fear of giving Of
Tense to some extremely sensitive peo-
pie But what is wanted in sire OF
coach horses is plenty of substance,
deep and well proportional body, strong
and clean bone under the open knee,
sound and tough feet, with fine and keen
action, lifting their feet high and rang
ing in height from fifteen to sixteen
hands high It will not be out OF place
to say that Alcxander's Edwin Forrest
and his descendants furnish the best
specimens of this kind of horse we have
had for years, This strain mingled with
mares possessing strong infusion of
thorough bred blood would make most
capital cross, and produce an elegant
and stylish coach and harness horse.
The great difficulty in matching hor..
ses or finding pair Of good matched
horses is well known to dealers. Single
horses of some style and finish can be
found, but the great difficulty is in
matching them. This is owing to the
miscellaneous way in which horses have
been bred for the last twenty years. A
team matched sixteen hands high, well
made, with style and finish, are hard to
find, and command fancy price; where
as five and twenty years ago any mum
Der Of such teams could be found in
Kentucky. Another cause Of this lack
of coachers is the mania for breeding
trotters, which have been bred far be-
yond their demand. If farmers will
turn their attention to breeding fine
coach horses, they will find ready
market, save the expense they annually
incur in developing the speed of young
trotters, and do themselves and the
State great profit"
This suggestion applies to the West
ern States quite ~ well a. Kentucky.
