The bluebirds have come. Up, boys, now.
and do the work of the spring. Well, what
is to be done I will tell you First and
foremost, be thankful that you are alive and
well to do the work. Secondly use your brains
and lay out plan for your work Brain-power
should always go before hand-power, for it
directs and consequently saves hand-power
Thirdly, put your tools in order; this saves
hand-power also. See that your hoe as well
as your axe is sharp, your harness strong, your
pillow well pointed, your cart-wheels creased,
your spades and forks in order, your baskets
mended, your pea-brush cut, your summer
hrewood and farming implements all under
cover. Then be sure the seeds you plant are
of pure quality; poor seeds will give you
poor crop--perhaps no crop at all. II you
have not saved your seeds, go to the most re-
liable dealers for them. Soak them in tepid
water several hours before you SOW them !;
then SOW literally, for you have the grubs to
feed, and you will find it easer to thin out
imam To go sowing over the ground a second
time.
Look well to the kitchen garden. See to il
that lettuce, beets, carrots, radishes cabbageg.
eaulitower and spinach arc started early. Ii
Is lar better to grow these articles than TO buy
or go without them. From your own garden
they are fresh, and they taste better when
raised on your own domain. Even if YOUR
garden plot be small, do not despise IT, Four
square rods of land, if you manure it well and
tend 1t well, will give you many a savory dish
when summer comes. Mulch and thin out
your currant bushes, feed your strawberries
unstintingly, also your raspberries and black
berries they are ravenOus eaters. Ash your
apple trees, as nothing pays you better. Do
not build a silo this year; let your rich neigh
Dor try it, and think, though we do not, of the
old mOrus muitiodulis speculation.
Keep up your fences If you wish to keep
your neighbors peaoeable; and also keep your

Milking is an art, and the farm hand who
knows how to milk properly is more valuable
to the careful dairyman than any other HELM
Ot course anybody can milk, and some can
milk dozen cows before breakfast. The
careful manager, however, is not so anxious
for fast help Us he is to employ those who are
careful. The operation should never be hur.
rled, but the milk should be drawn steadily
and as it flows, naturally. Some COWS have
very tender teats, and the rapid milkman for
gets this fact in his endeavor to make speed.
The COW that is naturally impatient and fret
full does not like to submit to rough handling,
and her disposition is soon ruined by such
treatment. With the constant irritation she
VIII fail IN quantity, and be less productive.
Just as any human being would fail TO per
form faithful service when laborinp under
mental athiction or trouble. As the udder
becomes distended and filed with milk the
desire on the part of the COW is to be relieved
OF ITS contents, and she willingly submits to it
for the relief it occasions. The constant prac-
tlce OF being MIXED at stated intervals i'm.
presses Itself strongly upon her, and she will
seldom otfer resistance without cause When
a cow, therefore, that has been patient de-
liverer of milk becomes fractions, the fault
can always be traced to the milkman The
careless dairyman is the one who complains
OF the failure of his COWS to keep up the flow
and bloody milk, garget and other evils are
the results of his own bad management.
There is another point in the treatment of
COWS that demands attention, and that is al
lowing them to stand long time waiting to
be MIXED. With COWS that give large Yields
1t is very painful, and when the udders have
been filled to their utmost, and the milkman
is not on hand to relieve them they become
exceedingly nervous and restless. This will
do more to cause COW to go dry before her
period than anything else, and many a good
COW has been sent TO the shambles through
diminution of quantity simply because ma
ture has revolted at her sufferings and allow
ed her to dry up because her storehouse was
not emptied Of its contents at the proper
times. She should also be MIXED TO the last
drop, if possible, and as the last portion of
milk is claimed to be the richest, the udder
should be left with nothing in it. With reg
ularlty in feeding and milking, and kind
treatment at all times, the COW will not only
become gentle and remain so, but will milk
on several weeks longer than otherwise. An
experienced dairyman needs help that is skill
full, and he knows how to judge the milk
mans work by the behavior of his COWS.
When stable of COWS begin to give trouble
in milking it is only necessary TO observe the
manner in which they are MIXED in order 10
cure the evil. The udder of a COW is a very
delicate structure, and she quickly rebels at
rough usage or improper periods of milking.

Skins can be tanned or tawed, according TO
a correspondent of the Courier-Journal as
follows; Shave of with a sharp knife all
flesh adhering to the skin, then wash thor

both the hair and flesh side Of the skin. Al
ter being cleansed, stretch the skin tightly
upon board, with the flesh side up, aud APP

parts of common salt and alum. After tho
composition has been applied, put the skin

and when dry rub with the hand until the
surplus composition is removed and the skin

An Attempt TO Repair the Ruin OF An, /.
erican Forests,

The very necessities of their situation have
aroused the people of some of our western
states to action. In Kansas, Nebraska, and
other states, liberal premiums have been Of
fered for the encouragement of tree-planting,
and already in many portions of the prairie
region perceptible change has taken place,
aud the eye no longer wanders over great
spaces without sight of shrub or tree. Min
nesota has her forestry association, and its sec.
Rotary reports that between seven and ten mill
ions of trees were planted in that state dur
ing the year 1877, of which more than half
million were planted in single day, "Arbor
Day" as it is called, or e-plantng day, the
first Tuesday of May having been fixed upon
as the day, and every owner of land invited
to devote the day especially to the planting of
trees. Similar efforts have been made in 9TH
err states which are similarly situated in re-
spect to supply OF forest The great rail
way companies, whose roads stretch across
the treeless prairies, have become in some in
stances large planters of trees feeling the
need of them both as screens from the fierce
storms that sweep down from the Rocky
Mountains, and as a source of supply for the
ties which are constantly needing renewal.
Tree-planters' manuals are published and
distributed freely, with view to aid those
who would plant by giving them the expert
ence already obtained in regard to the most
profitable trees to plant and the best methods
OF planting. Thus in some places there is al
ready quite movement in the right direc
ton. In the reports of planting the figures
make an imposing aggregate. But a liberal
discount needs to be made for the probable
failure of a large percentage of the trees
planted. And even with the most generous
estimate in regard to the work of planting,
what is accomplished rs yet is but fraction
ot,what needs to be done. 1t is but the fee
BILE beginning of vast work. The talk is of
millions of trees planted. This sounds well.
But good many trees can stand upon an
acre, and the latest estimates put the annual
decrease of our forest area at seven million
acres; so that Minnesota, with all her ardor
In this work, has only planted one tree for ev-
cry acre of trees destroyed. An area equal TO
that of the state of Maryland is every year
swept clean of its trees. This is large sec
ton to be taken yearly out of our forest re-
sources. With all that We are yet doing in
the way of tree planting, the balance is large
ly against us. With all the interest and ener-
gy manifested by the young West on this sub
ject stimulated by her most pressing need,
we are only planting one acre while 30 are laid
bare by the axe and by fire. And We must
consider also that the work of destruction goes
on at an increasing rate from year to wear as
our population and our industries increase
and that the trees which are felled are the
product, on the average, of more than a CEN
tury's growth, and those we plant must grow
during century before they can fill their
pilace;:-N. II. EggleStOn in Hd,per's Maya

woman as E.ouItry.NaIsers.

Women rs a rule, are successful in raising
and caring for poultry. l have never known
an instance when this work was undertaken
in earnest by a woman chat she failed TO make
It profitable. They usually do this business
well from a love of the occupation, and as il
entails no arduous care and no hard labor
am surprised (sinoe it pays so well, even If it
is carried on simply for egg raising or the
marketing of chickens) that more women on
farms in country towns and the suburbs OF
our large cities do not engage in its proseou.
ton II pays well. dozen or two good.
laying fowls about your yard is surely a very
pleasant sight. The children are always de-
lighted with the young chicks, and love to
watch their growth from the shell upward.
A few hens well cared for will give you plcn-
ty of fresh eggs in the laying seasons Mt little
or no cash cost, ed II you prefer to sell the
products Of your little flock, or portion Of
it, it will furnish you with gooily share of
the pin money always so acceptable, especial
ly as you can realize that you have earned it
yourself
II any woman, don't care what position
she may hold in society or everyday life,
thinks it beneath her to interest herself in
such matters would simply refer her to the
women of the old country, who arc the most
successful breeders of both market and fancy
fowls. In France the bulk of chicken raising
is managed by tho female portion of tho
household, and in Great Britain we find the
names of numerous titled ladies set down
from year to year as the most successful com
petitors in the great exhibitions there. Fine
fowls are imported into this country every
year from the famous yard Of Lady Gwydyr,
and they aud their progeny bring fabulous
prices. l have known a single bird bring as
high as Sl25.
In conclusion I would say you don't know
what you can do until You have tried. Start
with few good fowls, keep an exact account
of all expenses, charge up at fair market
prices all fowls and eggs either eaten, sold or
on hand, and if at the end of the year you
can't see handsome profit there must be "a
screw loose somewhere, and your experience
is not what ninety out of every hundred will

How much Butter is made from a
Govt

Windham county COWS, by the census of
1870, yielded an average of about 1OS pounds
to each COW. The average in the state was a
little below 100 pounds-about 9S. In other
states the quantity of butter made averaged
considerably less than 100 pounds to cow
In Indiana it was but IS pounds; in Ohio &c :;
in Iowa "A. The aggregate production of
butter in the western states has largely in
creased since 1870, md if the details of the
last census are ever published they will prob
ably show large increase in the average pro-
duction per COW, both in Vermont and at the
west. When all the milk of COW is used
for butter, and the yield is less than 100 lbs
year, it is small pay for her care and the
food which she consumes. No COW that with
good care and feed will not make at least 100
pounds is worth keeping in butter dairy.

The wool market is quiet and dull, though
we do not notice any material concessions in
prices on the part of holders. Farmers may
expect all sorts Of discouraging news about
this time as to the wool market, as the manu-
facturers desire TO make low scale of prices
for the spring clip. One thing, however, is
certain there is no overstock of wool. the
staple cannot be imported at a profit and
there will be large demand the coming sea-
son. CUltiGator.
The interests of a large majority of those
who control the newspapers are best subserv-
ed by low prices of farm products hence the
frequent advice to farmers not to hold for
higher prices, and the general Clearing" tone
of comment on the markets which NAV be
observed at all times. We copy with pleasure
the above words, which give wool-growers a
timely caution in reference to the annual tao
tics used to depreciate the product of their in
dustry. From this time until the wool clip
has mainly passed from growers hands, the
bears will be likely to keep unfavorable re-
ports of the market in circulation.

Early peas should be planted where the land
can be occupied by other crops after they are
grown; squashes cucumbers and other vines
may be planted where they will run over the
ground occupied by the peas, after the crop
Is gathered, or the ground may be sown with
turnips or set with cabbagos, as there is time
enough for these crops to grow after the peas
are gathered. While peas may be started
with stable manure, they will produce much
larger crop, if, in addition to the manure,
ground bone be literally sprinkled in the drill
