Currants and GoOseberries.

Take cuttings of currants in Septem-
Der after The new wood has ripened.
as may be seen by having turned
brown, says Vick's Magazine. Make
them about six inches in length, from
the new wood, removing the leaves.
Plant them so that only n bud is
left above the surface and they will
take root in the fall and be ready to
make growth promptly in the spring.
Some leaves or litter should be laid
around them when cold weather comes
on, TO prevent them from heaving
when the frost comes out of the
ground. Cuttings of the %gooseberry are
more dificult to root, but treated in
the same way a portion of those made
from our American varieties will root.
But the better way to raise gooseber-
ries is by layering. This can be done
as early as the latter part Of July.
Draw the soil up about a bush and lay
the branches partly down upon it and
leap fine soil up over them, spattins
it down we'll with the back of the
spade to make it lie close to the wood.
The leave should be removed from the
portions Of the stems which are COW
cred. Leave the plants earthed up in
this way all winter and in spring level
of the soil and cut away the rooted
branches and plant them out to make
a set of strong roots before final trans
planting for fruiting. From the plant
thus employed Called a stool plant,
another set of shoots will grow, and at
the proper time in summer it can be
earthed up. and thus an annual crop of
plants be produced.

When to Water Plants.

Should plants be watered during sun
shine? Why not. if they need it? The
watering Of the plant should be gov
erned by its condition and surround
ings. The whole thing, in a nutshell.
10, water q plant when it does require
1t, says q writer in American Garden
ing. From my own experience have
never had any bad results from water
ing flowers during sunshine. any more
than in dull weather. During sunshine
and bright weather the evaporation
from most plants is more excessive
than in dull weather; consequently
plants call for more nourishment in
the form Of water, and IL the plants are
growing fast. and the pots are full of
roots. l often ind it necessary to water
them three or four times a day. Air.
Gun and light are important factors in
building up the plant, and one is not
much use without the other. Water
containing soluble matter is absorbed
by the roots and travels through the
plant as crude sap. passing upwards to
the leaves; there it forms a combina-
ton with carb0nic acid gas. derived
from the air, then by the action Of sun
and light is refined and digested. As
the sun plays such an important part
in the disintegration las it were) of the
food of the plant, l cannot e how it
would have any injurious effect to
water plants during sunshine; but
-. 1--H. - e 40 n xhS~- n~~o~ASO 30
the plants needed it. l always aim to
have watering done early in the morn
ing or about three or four o'clock in
the afternoon. for the simple reason
that it facilitates the work, as we'll as
the water: but as l said be-
fore, l would not scruple to water a
batch Of plants during sunshine if they
needed it. and would consider l was
helping nature by doing so.

Draft Of the PlOw.

Our experiment stations are LOOKING
into almost everything and among 9th
er things endeavoring to determine the
amount Of the draft of the pillow that
is used for different parts of the work
At the University Farm of New York
it was found that SIS per cent of tho
total draft is used for cutting the fur-
row, 80 per cent in overcoming the
friction Of the sole and land slide. and
but twelve per cent in turning the fur
row. In 1867. Hon. J. Stanton Gould
found that IS per cent was expended
in cutting the furrow, IS per cent in
overcoming the friction, and ten per
cent in turning the furrew. Pu!yer-
izing is done altogether by the mold
board in turning the furrow, and hence
the importance Of having the mold
board do precisely what the farmer
wants at a particular time. Really ev-
cry pillow should have three or four diff
ferent mold boards; one il it is desired
to throw the furrow fiat and cover up
rubbish, another II it is desired to kink
the furrow. leaving it rough as possible
in fall blowing. and perhaps one or
two more covering purposes between
these two extremes. We think there
will be a good deal more attention paid
to matters Of this kind in the future
than in the past. as farmers are really
but beginning to study the subject of
tillage.
