Overcrowding the Brooklyn ferryboats is
becoming decidedly too frequent for safety
Last evening. about 6 o'clock, the Farragut was
delayed few minutes in the slip on the New
York side of the Fulton ferry. Passengers
were allowed to crowd the boat until it over
flowed: the bridge was packed with human
beings. When the Farragut started into the
stream it cut the crowd in two parts. many
clnging like bees to the end Of the boat. and
scores standing on the edge Of tho floating
bridge. II one person had been pushed into
the slip. the panic and rush would have precipi-
tated many others into the river, and lives would
undoubtedly have been lost The condition Of
tho packed boat may be realized from the
fact that II was impossible Tor many Of the pas
sengers to turn around during the trip across
the river. This overcoming Of the Brooklyn
boats should be stopped before some dircful
disaster occurs.

Crane Pruning.


E. F. Ellwanger, the well-known horticul-
turist of Rochester writes: My vines have to
submit to three main prunings in the year.
Winter pruning, spring Tor summer), and fall
pruning. Winter pruning is the most impor-
tant, and should not be neglected, since it
will renew and refresh the vines wonderfully.
l commence soon after the leaves fall from
the vine, and prefer to complete the opera
ton in December rather than at later date.
Ii any one month is to be selected, December
Is uDquestionably the best month in which to
do pruning.
The matter of pruning can hardly be re-
duced to single system of rules and regula-
tions, since every variety needs pruning in
accordance with its peculiar habits of growth.
Such pruning as would be favorable to one
kind might iDjure another variety. Pruning
is matter OF study and experience. Grape
shears are the most convenient for use, as I
have found in thirty years. experience with
them, but broke the springs the first day
used them, and so of late years have done
without them, getting my hand accustomed
to the shears.
On examination of the vines it will be no.
ticed that every spur has a main leader of
last years growth, which is the main fruit
cane. Do not cut that down to two buds,
for in the care of the Concord vine, for in
stance, the best fruit buds are from the third
and up. Never cut out healthy spur, since
that is the medium of life and yigor. If the
vines are on a trellis, manage that the whole,
from bottom to top, may be covered with foil
age and fruit. When tying up the vines, spread
them evenly apart. Have all pruning done
before the first OF April. Let us give proper
attention to the vines, and spriDgtime will
bring forth the opening buds aud autumn the
fruit of our work.

A Fruit Cellar.

Ten years ago we constructed fruit cellar
under our stable, and it has proved so satisfac-
tory that we venture to give brief descrip.
tien of it. The division walls are constru cted
OF brick, and the apartments are two in num-
Der, an outer and an inner room. The outer
room is but partly underground, and is 10 by
IL feet in area, and s feet high. The inner
room is wholly underground, and frost proof; |;
1t has four brick walls and a cemented floor.
In this room the fruit is stored early in De-
cember, when the weather becomes cold.
The outer room holds the fruit during the au-
tumn months after it is gathered, and is cool,
well lighted and dry. The windows are left
open and free circulation OF air allowed so
long as no danger from frost exists. When
the fruit is taken to the inner room, the door
is left closed and no light admitted. Ventila-
tion is secured in moderate weather by open
ing the inner door and throwing down a win
dow in the outer room. In this cellar we
kept apples of last seasons growth until the
present winter, in perfect condition. Some
OF these apples, exhibited at the autnmna
agricultural fairs, were pronounced as freshl
as those Of last seasons growth.-JomnaE of

AGRICULTURAL.
New England Farming.

A Western man inquired of by many East
ern parties about going West, wrote lately to
ajournal published in this city as follows: 'If
married, and you have little farm in New
England or New York State, word in your
ear-don't go! III you can be content to live
half as frugally where you are, as you will be
obliged to do in the West you will find there
Is money to be made in the old States yet. A
man can stand privation, for his business
brings him in contact with his fellows; but
for woman bred in New England, within eigh-
bors few steps away, it is very hard. Home
duties condne her to the farm, with no near
neighbor to run in and chat, the nearest
house being half mile or mile away. No
wonder is it that women, transplanted to the
West, pine, fade and die. This is the terrible
isolation of American farm-life, a thing that
does not exist in the States bordering on the
Atlantic sea-board."
Here is the statement quoted from a man
who writes of farm-life in Minnesota, state,
socially, like the other new states where land
is cheap, nominally-fenceless and houseless
set all round with privations and difficult
ties too numerous to mention-some of which
are more than limited atby the quotation from
the Western man as cited above. Let all
who are contemplating the expediency of 60.
ing west from eastern homes consider well be-
fore they decide to 60.
IL was proclaimed lew years ago that far
mers could buy Western corn and pay the
freight by rail from Minnesota, Iowa and Wis
consin cheaper than they could raise it in
Massachusetts and New Hampshire and the
farmers believed it, as demonstrated by what
the president of the Board of Agriculture in
the latter state said at an agricultural field
meeting in Massachusetts in the summer of
1877, that "New Hampshire had paid out ST.
00,000 year for corn" Had the Granite
State continued to grow corn, and to grow
corn to sell as she did in generations gone by,
when her rural population was much greater
than now, her journalists would not, as now,
be discoursing of "deserted farms" and de-
crease of population.
Fact relating to farming in the east and
west. could they all be collated, in respect to
small farms and families thereon, would de-
termine farmers with but few hundred dol
lars to favor Eastern homes as compared with
Western, there is little reason to doubt.
A farmer in Springfield lately stated that
corn in Illinois at the crib was worth only 1S
cents a bushel; in Massachusetts rs or 80
cents bushel. 1t was remarked by another
gentleman that the averageniumber of bushels
grown per acre in the two States, according
to the United Census returns, was about the
same. There are farms in New England
where corn can be grown at no greater cost
than in Illinois, or the West, generally. Let
these facts and suggestions be duly considered
with others that will occur to every mind, and
New England farming will soon cast off the
odium that has rested upon it for quarter of
century.-B0Ston Trdueller.

POETRY.
On Broadway.

See! Young America, his active arms
With bundles laden,
Escorting in slipshod kind of way
pretty maiden,
Often she drops a yard or two behind
Before he's missed her.
AhI her relationship is plain
His sister,
And, close behind the couple we have seen,
Appears another,
A young man with a venerable dame,
OF course his mother;
For he has with patronizing air
Her ear enlisted,
And tells her things of which she was aware
Ere he existed.
Another pair, who, walking far apart,
Scorn conversation,
He eyeing all the young and blooming girls
With admiration;
She, with a weary air, and loaded down
With goods he should have carried.
Seems filled with care; alas, the fact is clear,I
These two are married.
One couple more-their hands are slyly clasped
They seem devoted.
The glances of sardonic passers By
Are all unnoted.
Her eyes-the color of the radiant sky
So bright above US
Look fondy into his. Come, let us 90.
These two are lovers!

Propagation by Cuttings.

Cuttings are rooted by several methods, but
whichever course is adopted, they should be
potted as soon as they are well struck, which
will usually be, in the case of bedding plants,
from eight to fifteen days. They will show it
by beginning to grow. For potting off, small
pots, about two inches across the top, are the
best. The soil should be three parts good
loan to one of sand. Into these pots the
cuttings should be transplanted singly, and be
few days. They may then be gradually ex-
posed to the sun, and will soon begin to grow
vigorously. When well rooted, the more sun
and light they have the better. If the pots
fill with roots, the plants may be potted into
larger pots, as they should be kept growing,
both root and top, until planted out in the
garden beds.
