THINNING FRUIr.---Skllful fruit growers
have long been in the practice of thinning
the young fruit OH overDcarlng trees, both
for the good Of the fruit that remains, and
to prevent exhaustion of the trees, and we
hnye often had occasion to urge the impor-
tance of the practice. which IN addition to
tue advantages already mentioned, saves
much labor in hand picking afterwards
numerous imperfect specimens, and much
time i'll asserting after they are gathered.
Before, or by the time they are al inch in
diameter, the finest specimens may be seen
for leaving, rs the smaller and poorer ones
are taken out. Some valuable hints on
this subject were given at the last winter
meeting of the Western New York llorti-
cultural Society. w. 9. Barry said they
could not get good exhibition pears without
thinning the clusters. They used IL pole
with Il uotch in one end, which enabled
the operator to twist them OIL rapidly. T..
Moody, in speaking Of the Northern Spy.
which is so often defective on crowded
trees, SAID it would yet become very profit
able when we make up our minds to Thin
it thoroughly, and that If we would take
OIL in time from threc-fourths TO seven
eights, we would get ncarlv as much in
measure, and twice the price of any other
apple we grow. Maj Brooks thought the
Spy could he best thlnncd by cutting out
crowded branches. Mr.. Wick said no one
had any business to glow apples who
would not thin them.

AaR1CULTuRE.

RENovATIva WORN Our LAND. No
good farmer will allow his fields to become
exhausted by excessive cropping but will
adopt timely measures for Keeping up their
fertility; but should they become reduced
under bad management, the question Of re-
novating is one of tho very first Importance.
If the farmer has ali Abundance of good
dressing, the question is easy of solution;
but where large areas arc to be restored the
manure heap is likely to fail, and some
other plan must be adopted. The choice,
in such case, lies between green manur-
ing and sheep. Land whose fertility has
become quite low will prodnce decent
crop Of clover by the aid of u liberal appli-
cation of plaster, and this clover, when
p.oughed under, acts wonderfully in rcstor-
ing tho lost fertility of the soil. Buck
wheat will flourish upon soil too poor for
corn or wheat, and, next to clover, ls per-
haps the best crop for green manuring.
Both should be turned under when in full
bloom. The value Of sheep for restoring
ruD-out grass lands Is too well known to
require anything more than simple
mention. 1t has becn. successfully prac-
tiscd for generations, and yet there arc
many farmers who complain of run-out
lands, who keep no sheep at all. Aside
from their value in restoring worn out
lands to fertility, there is no stock the
farmer can keep that pays SO well, and
that 50 many farmers do not keep them is
Il wonder. We asked one farmer the qucs-
tion the other day, aud his reply was tha.
his fences were too poor. In other words,
it would require Il little labor to repair his
fences.
