Sheep in Orchards.

We have frequently recommended pas
turing sheep in orchards for the destruction
OF the codling worm, as well as to keep them
closely grazed by feeding on the grass, and
to enrich the ground with their droppines;
and the subject is of sufficient Importance to
bear many repetitions We find in an ex-
change an account of the successful treat
ment of an orchard, without giving the name
OF the owner, but from the statement it is
evidently that of j. s. Woodward of Lock
port. The following is briefly the substance
of the statement: The orchard occupies 80
acres, and is made the run of 80 hogs and
$50 or 200 sheep and lambs during summer.
Enough grain and bran is given them to
place them in good condition. They eat ev-
cry blade OF grass and green thing close
down, and every fallen apple as soon as
dropped, for which purpose sheep are better
than hogs, which sleep SO soundly as not to
hear an apple fall, but the sheep are always
on hand and devour every one as soon as it
touches the ground. The fruit each year
grows fairer, with fewer wormy specimens.
and the manure from feeding so much grain
has given healthy growth to the trees. To
prevent the animals from gnawing the bark.
the trunks are washed once month with
mixture of soapsuds, whale-oil soap and
sheep manure. If the animals are given
constant supply of fresh water they have
less disposition to eat the bark. The profits
OF this treatment consist in placing the
sheep in the best condition, in finely growing
lambs, and in heavy crops of fruit for mark
et-Country Gentleman.

Fattening Cattle.

1t is great mistake to have too many cat
tie. Remember that ten well fattened are
as good and will bring as much as fifteen or
twenty only half fat.
Shade aid salt are of great Importance;
the latter should be supplied at least once a
week. The best way which can find is to
mix it with bran, say one quart of salt to
half peck of bran, and place it Oh the ground
in small piles.
If the cattle are not fat when the first
heavy frost comes, they should have some
thing more than grass, for that as soon as
frost, loses great portion of its powers of
fattening; pumpkins raised among the corn,
nubbins or small potatoes, lin small quanti-
tiesl will answer the purpose.
generally feed from ten to fit cen head
every summer, and always make it rule to
keep ten bushels of corn and five of oats, to
feed, ground and placed on the ground in
the fall, after the first heavy frost.
In conclusion, there is more depends up
ON the care taken of fattenng steer than
many suppose. They should be kept quiet
and free from excitement of all kinds

AGRICULTURAL
Poultry Raising.

You can do it very easily by adopting
some systematic rules. These may be
summed up in brief as follows:
1. Construct your house SO as to avoid
damp floors, and afford a flood of sunlight.
Sunshine is better than medicine.
2. Provide a busting and scratching
place. where you can bury wheat and take
in winter and thus induce the fowls to corn
needful exercise.
3. Give plenty of fresh air at all times of
the year, especially in summer.
a. Give plenty of fresh water daily, and
never allow the fowls to go thirsty,
s. Feed them Systematically, two or
three times a day, and scatter the food so
they can't eat too fast, or without proper
exercise. Do not feed them more than
they will eat up clean. or they will get tired
of that kind of feed.
6. Give them variety both of dry an
cooked food; mixture of cooked meat and
vegetables is an excellent thing for their
morning meal.
I. Give soft feed in the morning, and
whole grain at night, except little wheat
or cracked corn placed in the scratching
place during the day.
s. Above all things, keep the hen house
clean and well ventilated.
o. Do not crowd too many in one house.
If you do, look out for disease.
10. Use carboic powder in busting bins
occasionally to destroy lice.
IL. Wash your roosts and bottom of lay
ing nests with whitewash once a week in
summer, and once a month in winter
IL. Let the old and young have as large
q range as possible-the larger the better
Is. Don't breed too many of fowls at the
same time, unless you are going into the
business
IA. Introduce new blood into your stock
every year or so, by either buying cocker
ell or sitting of eggs from some reliable
breeder.-Rural Nebraska.

TO GET RID OF RATS.

TO GET RID OF RATS.
Copperas is the dread of rats. In every
crevice or in every hole where rat treads,
we scatter grains of copperas, and the result
is stampede of rats and mice, and not a
football of either has been about the house
since. Every spring coat of yellow-wash
is given the cellars as purifier, as well as a
rat exterminator, and no typhoid, dysentery
or fever attacks the family.-Scientifc
American.
BAKING MEATS.
The natural flavor of baked meats is height
ened, and the basis of delicious gravy pro-
duced, by putting a few bits of soup vegeta-
bles under the meat in the dripping pan. No
salt should be put on the meat until its sur
face has been crisped by putting it into hot
oven. 1t may then be seasoned and the heat
of the oven moderated; the meat will cook
by the steam which is generated from its
own moisture by the heat of the oven. No
water should be put into the dripping pan
around baked meat. Its temperature can
never rise as high as that of the fat surface
OF the meat, and consequently its contaci
serves only to soften it and extract it's juices
Basic it with its own drippings, or some
melted butter, or by laying a large slice of
fat pork over it.-Housekeeper.
RYE MUFFINs.
10 make rye mullins after Miss Parloa's
plan put one and a half pints of rye ito
bowl, With half cup of sugar, and little
salt; put into the seive half pint of flour.
one teaspoonful of saleratus, and two of
cream tartar; or, if desired, three teaspoon
fuls of baking powder may be used instead
of the above; mix thoroughly with the -four,
and then sift into the material in the bowl;
mix thoroughly while dry, and then add two
well beaten eggs, and milk enough to make
batter that will drop from the spoon readi-
ly; fill the muffin cups about two-thirds full
and bake in quick oven.
GREEN CORN PUDDING.
Crate twelve ears of corn, add the yolks
of five eggs, stir hard, add two tablespoon
fuls of melted butter, then add one quart of
milk, gradually beating all the while. A lit
tie salt, one large spoon of sugar, lastly the
beaten whites. Bake slowly one hour in
covered dish. You can make this dish in
winter with canned corn.

Summer Grape Pruning.

About this, as III nearly every other horti-
cultural subject, there is considerable differ
ence of opinion We have known vines to
be ''pruned to DEATH i'm following out some
wild theory that some addie-headed fellow
had started, while others would pfune so
sparingly as to be of no benefit at all. Many
strip the vines of three-foufths Of their
leaves to allow the sun and air to get in. as
they say, while others allow the grapes to be
smothered for want of judicious removal
of the leaves. Pinching the enus off the
vines. or clipping off portion of the sprouts
where they are growing rampantly, SO far as
it appears to be necessary 10 any reaso able
Judgment, will greatly benefit the crop, Just
as the reverse will damage it. The thinning
out of the surplus branches by removing
from third to half of them as they usu-
ally show themselves is of the greatest i'm
portance. In doing this, be sure always to
remove the weakest and most imperfect.
The laterals of the fruit bearing branches,
which have been pinched or clipped, will
throw out more branches, and these also
should be pinched SO as to leave only sim
gle leaf. The laIerais on the canes, remem-
Der, are to be the fruit bearing canes for
next year, should be allowed to grow
unchecked. Care should be taken to tie up
such of the branches containing punches as
are too heavy to bear their own weight.
There should, also, be no more wood al
lowed to grow tEan is needed for the follow
ing years fruiting.
These simple general hints may be of SER
vice to those whose knowledge of grape
growing is limited. In little while-a few
years of experience, which can be greatly
aided by examining the way that good grape
growers follow-will soon put one in the
plain road to success.-Germantown Tele-
graph.
