Pruning the Gooscherrr.

An English horticulturist, who has had
some thirty years experience with goose
berries, having grown a considerable col
lection in all possible ways, gives some
advice on the pruning of gooseberry
bushes in London GdrdHe,'s Maga.iHe
that is of general interest. The small
sorts, that is, varieties which naturally
produce small berries, he believes cannot
be made large by any system of cultva-
tion, but large sorts will produce fair
sized, useful fruit on unpruned trees in
great plenty, provided the soil is fairly
good and the moisture sufficient When,
however large, highly colored and we'll
favored fruit is required he prunes and.
more than that, forms the trees expressly
for the purpose
For every form of bush clean stem is
desirable, and for the pruned tree clean
stem is necessity. In making cuttings
the following advice is given: Select
straight rods and dsbud to the extent of
nine to twelve inches, so rs to insure that
no shoots shall start from near the
ground-line and no suckers shall come up
from below. The correspondent quoted
from ties every cutting when planted to
stake to keep it straight, and this stake
is retained until the tree has made three
or four shoots as the basis of the future
tree. From the very first the knife or
thumb-nail is used to check useless
growth and to insure IA regular distribu-
tion of the growth to form an oien and
decidedly lean tree. The shoots that
hang down are not to be hastily sup
pressed or shortened, for many of the
good sorts are naturally of pendent hab-
it. a sharp lookout, however, ought to
be kept to pre- vent shoots that touch the
ground from making roots for fresh
start on its own account. This pruning
for large berries should be supplemented
by thinning-out of the crop and feeding
the tree.
For heavy crop of green gooseberries
such as are in greatest demand in many
sections the correspondent quoted from
expresses the belief generally INDUCED in
that 'unpruned bushes will pay about
tenfold more the rent for the ground
they occupy than those that are pruned
for large fruit" In exposed localities
lean bush or tree is liable to loss of its
green fruit from frost, the foliage being
great protection. The method describ-
ed, however of pruning for large. showy
berries, is of interest to those who want
fine specimens of the fully developed
fruit for the exhibition table, and also to
lovers of the ripe berries.

The Nnlne of Cow Pens.

Though regarded as a Southern crop,
experiments have demonstrated that COW
peas can be grown in many of the North
ern States, as soiling or hay CROP The
Cow Pea drawsits suSteancc largely from
the atmosphere. as is demonstrated by the
fact that it will flourish upon our poorest
sandy soils. 1t is a common saying
"down South, in speaking dcrisively of
very sterile soil: "That land is too poor
to sprout Cow Peas" For green ma
nuring they should be sown broadcast at
the rate of from three to five pecks per
acre, according to the soil aud variety
planted. In plowing under crop of
Cow Peas, the returning of plant food
to the soil, though the principal good, is
not the only benefit eXerted on run down
soil. The roots are very penetrating,
reaching down into, and rendering more
porous, the underlying stratum of our
fields. \ pea crop is one Of the easiest
meansof supplying vegetable matter to
exhausted soils. 1t supplies both chemical
and mechanical manure at the same time.
Cow Peas for green manuring should
have a rank growth of vine, as this is
the most valuable part of the plant for
this purpose. When the crop is in full
bloom, aud ready for turning under,
more seed should be sown on the same
ground. The plowing covers the seed
sufficiently, and if this is done in the
latter half Of June, second crop will
mature before frost destroys vegetation,
and will produce a luxur.ant pasture for
cows. horses, or hogs. Cow Peas make
most excellent food for fattening hogs.

Wall and Platform for Wells.

a correspondent of the Rural Neao
Yorker, says: That the use of impure
water is the cause of a great deal of sick
ness among farmers is attcsted both by
physicians and by our own observation.
The principal causes of the impurity of
the water in farm wells is found in the
close proximity of the numerous duck
puddles, hog-wallows and cess-pools.
which abound in the yards of many
farmers, and which are regarded as of so
little import that they are rarely filled up
or removed. Another source of pollution
Is the burrowing beetles and worms. espe.
cially ange-worms, which enter the
well through the clinks in the wall, fall
into the water and sink TO the bottom,
where they die and decay. Duck puddles.
hog-wallOws ano other like sources of
contamination are so apparent and
generally appeal to the Olfactories so
powerfully that any one at all inclined TO
be decent will quickly terminate their
existence; but the worm and bug inva-
sions are apt to be overlooked, and are,
moreover, more difficult to provide
agrinst.
Many people fatter themselves that the
water in their wells is as pure as the
Pearly dew-drop, While at the same time
half a dozen or so of angle-wor and
various bugs are tumbling into it daily.
These pests cannot be excluded by an
ordinary wall, because the brick or stone
cannot be laid sufficiently close to make
1t worm-proof. The most effective
method of keeping them out Is to lay the
upper 10 feet Of the wall in cement. or
10 back it with the slime material. Back
ing is the safest and best plan. As the
wall is being built, it is set in an inch
from the well, and the space between
them is carefully filed with cement. II
this is well done, the wall will be abso-
lutely bug-proof.
The finishing Of the top is an import
ant matter. II should be laid perfectly
even and smooth, and covered with a
close-ttting platform of two-inch plank
Near each end of this platform a 2x4
scantling is fastened, upon which a sec
ond platform Of two-inch plank is spiked

Farm AND GARDEN.
Importance of Regularity in Milk
fnn

A farmer writes the Country Gentleman. ].
"Some farmers in this section arise at
three o'clock in the morning, and in
winter their cows are .nilked at \. NJ.
Is 1t not unnatural, injurious and un-
profitable to awake and rouse animals
at such hoursr That paper replies rs
follows:
ut is important that animals should
have regular periods of rest, as we'll as
regularity in feeding. This treatment is
essential to the lest results in cows
which give large quantities of milk,
which irrcgularity and disturbance tend
to lessen. But to what degree, we are
not aware that any accurate experiments
have been made TO determine. The
twelve-hour period between morning and
evening milking should not be widely
departed from, as milk is secreted at
nearly the same rate during the hours of
grazing or feeding in the day or resting
at night
