Work In the Orchard.

Among the work that may be done in
April is grating and root-pruning.
Brauch-pruning can also be done at this
time, but this operation may be done at
almost any time during the fall and win
ter, except when the trees are frozen.
Root-pruning should be done either in
the fall OF spring. Shoots for grating
must be takes off before the buds have
commenced to swell, and kept in boxes Of
earth or wet sand secure from frost, until
the best time for grating comes. Shoots
of the choicestand beatfruits only should
be used, andthey should be secured early,
so as to be had when wanted. Trees
which are strong and healthy, yet barren
of fruit, should have their roets pruned
by digging a circular trench around the
trunk, so as to cut off about one-third o.
the length Of the roots. The depth b
the trench, as well as its distance from
the trunk, depends, of course, on the size
of the tree.-Detroit Free Press.

If farmers who think poultry do not
pay would give their feathered stock to
their sons and daughters, with permits
sion to own and enjoy any profit that
might accrue from keeping them, they
would sOon be convinced that "there is
something in it." There certainly is no
more health-promotine exercise than
that afforded by caring for, or having the
management of a flock of poultry, and if
the flock is one of the pure breeds, there
is, in addition to the exhiliarating infu.
ence, an enthusiasm that causes what
might otherwise be considered a task, to
become a pleasure-and therefore profit
an2 pleasure are combined. A young
lady i'm Bethel, Pa, during the year OF
1874, kept q strict account of all expen.
ditures for feed, ETC., for her yard Of
fowls, and at the regular market prices
for eggs and chickens, and she cleared

to awaken an interest among the numer

Particular attention should be paid to
live stock at this season, that they may
be brought through the winter process in
good condition and in a fit state to put
to pasture. When they are poorly win
tered and begin the spring in q low CON
dition il win take them nearly all sum
n1er to get over the effects OF it, and
consequently it will stunt their growth.
Stock should not be put to pasture until
the weather is warm, and there is plenty
OF fodder. The c~hange.from dry fodder
to grass should be made gradually. It
does not pay to k~eepinferior stock ofany
kind, but the farmer should see to it that
his old and improbable stock be dis
posed Of, and only good, sound, healthy
and profitable ones are kept. The in
creasing demand for milk, butter and
cheese makes it worth while to raise
mich cows. These should be selected
from the very hest breeds, the bull from
noted mixers and a well known mixer
Among the best breeds are the Shori
Horns, Durhams, Ayrshires and Here

rolling, brushing, a heavy shower of rain

more grass seed and some poor ones less.

but we have succeeded quite as well

A correspondent of the Lagrange (Ga.)
Reporter gives his experience in raising
millet as follows:
Last year l made the test by sowing
five bushels broadcast and planting one

was planted on about five acres of red
land as badly worn as any land you will
find in cultivation in Troup county

speak here of my success. Many of our
best citizens will bear Testimony of the
enormous amount of hay obtaired, u

any kind. The rows were three feet
apart, and the heads, when rc;adv to har.

across the rows tb1 oughout the entire
field.
Inc nv bushels sown broadcast were
lerti-lsed with cotton seed in a greer

were put to the acre, and plowed unde.
the latter part Of February. On tn,
frst of April L again plowed the land

twe4rerse harrow. Early in July
harvested this crop with a Buckley,
mower. From six to eight acres can b.
harvested per day with this machine.
