By the time this meets the eye of our
readers there will be considerable grass
which needs cutting, and some of the ear
lier kinds will be already in the barn. Cut
your hay early-as soon as in the blow,
and to do this, or to come as near rs we
can to averaging it at that time, some must
be cut before and some will stand later.
Are your tools in order? Are there nuts or
bolts missing on the moving machine
or horse rake? Are the hand rakes and
pitchforks in repair and good ones at that?
A poor tool in the"hay field costs one
more than new one of good quality. To
those thinking of buying new machinery
we say, don't buy till you have had fair
trial of the machine; not II weeks trial
but half day or so, then you will know
whether it will suit you, and not have on
hand machine which is II continual trial
and annoyance.
What machines to buy? Probably any
of the first-class machines will give the
buyer good satisfaction if we'll cared for
Some will suit one and some another We
have used with much satisfaction us Il
mower the machine now known as the
New Champion. This has new and novel
and we think most desirable mode of APP
plying the power to the cutters, which we
intended to show our readers by Il cut of it,
but we have not been able to get it, The
Cleaner horse rake, made by the Vermont
Farm Machine company, gives us perfect
satisfaction, is simple, durable and effect
i've, and the Collins hay tedder does good
work, is easy of draft and where grass is
heavy we believe of nearly as much use
and importance as either mower or rake.
We say again, cut your hay early, have
good tools, get it in good condition and it
will give you heaps of satisfaction when it
is fed out next winter.

A subscriber to the Prairie Fdr1ner
inquiries Of that paper concerning bloating
in cattle, and whether it would be produc-
ed by turning into fresh rank pasturage.
Here is the reply. Cut it out and put it
where you will know where it is when you
want it, for if you have to wait long after
you find your animal bloated, TO hunt up a
remedy or some man who can hunt one
for you, the probability is you will come
to the remedy of SHINING the creature, for
there will be no time to lose in the disease:
Reply:-The kind of pasturage which
you have described is just what would be
most likely 10 produce bloating; and the
reason why the cases generally happened
in the forenoon is that grass or clover,
heavily laden with dew, as well us foggy
mornings, are the most productive of such
cases. During the spring months, when
grass is fresh and plentiful, and full of
fresh. juicy matter, bloaling occurs most
frequently, though it also occurs during
the summer months, when cattle are put
on pasture of ;ough.and woody clover, or

rapidly consumed, fermentation sets in
before it is properly prepared for rumina-
ton and carbonic acid gas is eliminated
The disease runs its course very quickly,
hence aid should be quickly extended. If
medicines are not at hand, or could not be
had soon, recourse must be had ut once to
puncture of the paunch. This operation
is properly performed with an instrument
called trocar, which is inserted in the left
flank (always.) The usual direction for
finding the proper place is, to measure
eight inches downward from the ends of
the bones of the loin, and then the central
point between the projection of the hip and
the last rib. Here the trocar may be in
serted without fear, in forward and
downward direction, ut an angle of about
ID degrees. In the absence of trocar, a
long bladod pen knife may be used, put
ting it in to the handle. and it should be
held i'll its position so long us air escapes.
On account OF the escape of particles Of
food and gas into the abdominal cavity,
where it is apt to produce fatal nhamma-
ton, the use of knife is not to be recon-
mended BY using Il trocar, everything
that may escape from the paunch, will be
carried outside the animal, through the
canula OF sheath of the trocar, which re-
mains inserted so long as gas escapes.
When the animal is near at home, or when
medicines are within easy reach, their ad-
ministlation should not be DELAYED. The
remedies generally employed are such as
neutralze or combine with the gases
formed in the paunch. The most valuable
of these are liQuOr ammonia carbonate of

How TO BE A GENTLEMAN.-We want
n few nriyate words with the boys. The
truIh Is we have n great idea OF boys: we
used 10 think that men were made OF boys.
We beoin 10 think now that these were
old fashioned notions that they are All

great many personages grow up WIN

they had been they would know how to

do not know. But what we wish TO put
into the ears of the boys is this-be gentle
men. In this country every boy may grow
up to be gentleman if he will. II Is not
necessary that he should become rich-and
most bows think il is-nor is it necessary
he should become distinguished man.
But some impatient ones are asking:
=. How can we become gentlemen? How

Can he work for it?' Yes he can. And

great many things, but it will not buy

and sometimes come Eear making fool.
Money will buy dogs and horses, but how
MANY dogs and horses do you thing it will

therefore, think he is to be made gentle

PARIS GREEN AND FOLIAGE. - The
semi agricultural newspapers are again
recommending Paris-green for killing
canker worm, leaf roller, etc., on fruit
trees. The Fruit Recorder, usually one
Of the best informed of our exchanges,
and practical in its teachings, says 1t Is
highly successful in Illinois, and quotes
Prof. Cook, of the Michigan agricultural
college. as saying that " Paris green does
not effect the potato, nor will it the apple
tree" OF course it will not injure the
tree. Nevertheless, it is net safe for in
discriminate use on fruit trees, especially
those producing tender skinned fruits:
Whale oil soap, diluted as recommended
in the Prairie Farmer, is fully us effectual
in Kidding trees of canker worms and 9TH
or noxious insects of like nature. and it
has the advantage OF being innocent to
human life. We repeat, Paris-green
should not be used indiscriminately on
foliage for the destruction of leaf-eating
insects, particularly where there are small
children about.-Prdirie Farmer.

Pruning Fruit Trees.

Much butchery is committed by unskil-
full persons under the delusive idea that
they are judiciously pruning. A young
orchardist told us a few years since, with
evident dissatisfaction, that in the
thorough pruning he gave his apple trees
the previous 81 ring, he had cut off more
than he had left on. Is it any wonder that
the orchard refused to bear any consider
able quantity of fruit for several years? A
skiIlful pruner, by taking glance at Il
young tree, can easily see what buds are
10 be removed and what should be left,
and can prune it with his thumb nail so
that the tree will require little more care
for the season. Trees managed in this way
will have few large limbs requiring to be
cut away. Sometimes limb is cut off
leaving stump two or three inches long
on the tree. Aside from the unsightly APP
pearapce. such a wound can never heal
over. If it is necessary to remove limb,
it should be sawn off as closely as possible
to the stem, and then smoothly trimmed
off with sharp knife or a chisel.-ET
change.
Concerning pruning we have a word or
two to say. 1t is not always the case that
II mans orchard comes into his possession
when he can do all the pruning with his
thumb nail, as when they have reached a
mature growth, and then the question
comes, when and how to prune. In our
experience we have found no better time
than June when the wounds heal the most
readily and with the least of the oozing of
sap which runs down on the bark and
blackens it. There are two things always
safe to cut away-dead limbs and sap
sprouts" And these, and all other limbs
taken off, should be cut close up to the
body, and all of the larger wounds covered
with grating wax. We prefer to have a
tree branch low; it protects the trunk,
brings the fruit in easy reach for picking;
then cultivate an open top with no limbs
to cross and chafe each other, and don't
try to make too great n change at one
years trimming.
We have had excellent results from dig
ging about the trees, spreading on little
rotten manure and then giving them a
good mulch of straw, which should be
removed in the fall, or it will become Il
harbor for mice, which will be likely to
gnaw and spoil the trees. We have also
scraped the trunks with an old hoe with a
snort handle, and washed them in the ref
use Of the soap making which settles at
the bottom of the kettle, and we fancy it
has had good effect. Of course all cater.
pillars should be removed and the sooner
it is done after they are discovered the
easier and more effectively it can be done.
We take stick with a rough splintered
end and winding the nest on it pull it
away.
The man who loves his orchard, will
find ways to do for it, and soon to do for
the best; and the man who don't care fol-
it had better let the man who does raise
his apples for him and keep his work
where his mind is.

DIMINISH YoUR FENCING.-We COM
mend to farmers the suggestion whether,
in place of buying material for new
fence, it would not be better to remove Il
fence that is doing no good. Per-
haps you have none; perhaps each one of
your interior fences is needed. If not
needed, it is doing you harm. 1t is pro-
tecting weeds, it is perhaps giving n home
to woodchucks and MICE it is occupying
land that might be growing grass. We
have in mind a farm where all interior
and roadside fences are removed, except
pasture fences. The grass fields do not
extend only so far rs where the roadside
fence ordinarily is, but to the wheel tracks,
thus giving the owner II strip of land
more than twenty feet wide, and making
the roadway smooth and beautiful. The
moving machine leaves the field at any
point, the load of hay enters upon the
hard road ut the most convenient point
and, when the land is plowed, the furrow
is carried near the road bed where the
horses are turned. The farm we have in
mind does not lie along thoroughfare
where the amount of travel, and frequent
passing of herds of cattle. make fences
almost indispensable. 1t lies on country
road, rs do the majority of farms, where
there is little travel, and where fences
have come to exist more through the force
of habit than from any experience of their
necessity .-ScientifC Farmer.

Country folks little dream of the pride,
the aVarice, and all manner of glaring
wickedness, that abounds in our large

safest way is to keep out of it, and out OF

and this is great advantage, for We want
intelligent, energetic, gentlemanly farm
ers, and there is no good reason why the
coming farmer should not be so. How
ever, you should make the best you can of
your lot, boys. There is no excuse for
ignorance in this land of public schools,
and easy access to books and periodicals OF
all kinds. Remember, boys, you can be
polite. attentive, truthful and industrious,
without going to college, if the "will is
there. There are far too many country
boys that are giving up all interest on the
farm. and crowding into the cities. And,
how common it is TO see the old father
ploddng along alone, doing all the work,
stinting and denying himself in order to
keep one or two great Swapping boys at
college, and for what? Likely they will
sometime dance attendance behind a
counter under some rich mans thumb, or,
perhaps, attain one horse doctorship, or
what seems more gentlemanly yet,
sit reared back in law office, feet on the
desk, and smoking cigars, all the while
solemnly believing, they were never des-
tined to make living anywhere else. No;

times is young farmers TO take the place

vast degree of responsibility resting upon

DRIED FRUIT.-The demand for dried
fruits has been so stimulated since the
American plan of hot-air drying has been
perfected, that these products are now
transported over the civilized world, but
to those countries where fruit is
not generally raised, and to newly settled
colonies, particularly mining ones. Dried
fruits are now largely used during all
long sea voyages. Between October last
and April l, England took over 400, 900
bushels, principally dried apples and
peaches. In fact the industrial population
of England, Germany and Australia, are
the chief buyers of these productions.
The immense fruit crop of the United
States is much of it left to 60 to waste for
the want Of drying. In view of the many
simple and cheap processes for drying,
this should no longer be allowed. The
fruit crop of the United States this year
promises to be immense. The surplus
that cannot be used green should be pro-
vided for. 1t may be utilized with profit,
but to do so, fruit growers should prepare
in time to utilize it. Will they do SOP
