GROWIXG CROPS CHEAPLY.â€"The price of the farmer’s commodities is mainly deter- mined by causes that he cannot control. But the cost of producing thein depends very largely on himself. If there be any- thing 1n soil o1 location that makes the production of any crop necessarily 1nOIe ex- pensive for one farmer than for others, he should change to something in which competition is not so active. Every locality has advantages for cheaper production or better marketing for some product. It is part of the farmer’s business to study the capacities of his farm, and then learn every- thing possible about the methods of produc- ing most cheaply what his farm is adapted to. The tanner who does this need not complain that farming does not pay. GRASS AROUND FRUIT TREES.â€"\Vhen an orchard is in sad, it is impossible to plow close enough to the trees so as to cover all the grass, But; there is loose dirt enough brought up by the plow to cover the grass if hood over it, and this will Suffice to smother it. The suppression of this grass around the trees makes the m much more sightly during the Summer, and in W'inter its absence leaves no harbor for mice, which love just such a, shelter when gnawing apple-tree bark. QUACK GRASS IN SANDYSOIL.â€"Itisha.rder to rid sandy soil of quack grass, for the rea- son that its roots are apt to run deeper. Besides this, a. covering of sand over the green part does not smother it so readily as would acovering of more compact earth. Raking up the roots and burning them is the sure way to rid sandy land of quack w-Fére it has obtained an entrance. If the sc ,' is poor already this involves taking rettymuch all its remaining fertility from it. n some kinds of sand where no other grass can be grown quack grass might profitably be planted. Its green herbage is better than barrenness. FEEDXXG GROUND CORN AND COB._â€"It used to be thought that only the grain of corn had nutritive value, but both by analysis and feeding it is found that there is consid- erable nutrition in the cob also. Its value, when ground with the corn, is even greater than analysis would indicate, as it prevents the own meal from compacting in the stem. sch, as it would otherwise do. Oats or bar’ 1( y, if mixed with corn and col), cause the coo to be ground much more finely than it can be without them. Oats also improve the nutritive ration, not only for horses, but for all other stock. GRASS-FED PIGs.â€"VVe believe in summer pasture, e for pigs, but the idea that hogs, or, in act, anything else, for that matter, can be profitably grown on grass alone is a fallacy. The development of early fatten- ing qualities which improved breeds of hogs have been brought to is the result mainly of high and regular feeding. Turning pigs out to pasture, and letting them shift for themselves, is the short cut to the 01d wild hogs and the undoing of all that generations of good breeding and good feeding have accomplished. The improved hog may thrive 011 grass, with little or notlr ing else, but how about its progeny ‘3 Is it not certain that they Will rapidly degenv erate ‘Z PLOWING LAND WHEN Wenâ€"Nothing is gained on heavy land by plowing land sod- den with water. The clay in it is puddled by stirring, and when dried it becomes a clod almost impenetrable by water, and which nothing but freezing and thawing will reduce to condition for roots to penetrate. If there is a large amount of vegetable mat- ter in the soil, this danger of becoming too compacted is lessened. Hence when the country was new and the surface soil full of vegetable mould, it was possible to plow without injury earlier than it can safely be done now. There is also an advantage in plowing sandy soil while wet, as there is very little that does not contain a. small amount of clay or vegetable matter, and it is a benefit to this to be made more compact than it now is. MARKING CORN Rows STRAIGHT. --The bet- ter implements now used in cultivating corn and preparing the ground make it possible t0__get rows much more nearly straight than was formerly the case. \Vhile stumps and stones were in the way, cultivation was necessarily largely done by hand, and straight rows were of less importance. So long as the plow could dodge between the rows, it was thought good enough, and in those days there was current a humorous saying that more corn grm 's in crooked rows than in straight ones. That is, we hope, no longer true. The improved cultivators will almost entirely take the place of hand cul- ture if rows are straight. They cannot do it with hills (lodging in and out. If plant- ing is done by hand care must be taken to place the seed grain in the centre of the checks. Then if rows are straight both ways, the cultivator may be run very close to the corn without danger of knocking some of it out. CONVENIENT HARNESS.~â€"Many common work harnesses are still used without the conveniences of snaps in place of buckles, which every horseman considers important. The time wasted in working at nnhandy har- ness will pay for all these little improve- ments, besides the satisfaction which the owner feels in using them. The best treatment of newly-set fruit trees, is a constantly clean and mellow sur- face of the soil, preventing the formation of hard crust, and not permitting the growth of grass and weeds. ’l‘his clean and mellow surface must extend for some distance from the base of the trunk, or about as far as the height of the tree. For cherries and peaches, more particularly, this treatment will be nearly sufficient of itself, without manure or fertilizers, if the land has a medium amount of richness. For apples, pears, plums and quinces, additional fertilizing may be given with such fertilizers as have proved by ex- perience to benefit that particular soil, Where superphosphates have shown their efficiency, they may be freely used, and if nitrogenous manures are required nitrate of soda may be useful. But without knowing the special requirements of your soil, we would recommend as most important and promising, continued clean and mellow cul- ture till you can procure barn manure, and then topâ€"dress freely and broadly with it. In the absence of wood ashes, which is nearly always useful, it may be well to apply muriate of potash to the peach trees, and perhaps to the apples and pears. The clay soil will require nearly the same treat- ment. AGRICULTURAL. Newly Set Fruit Trees. Miscellaneous. “'e churn, on an average, in from five to ten minutes. Often the butter comes in less than five minutes. \Ve are sometimes asked to explain our method to friends and neighbors who are in the habit of churning from one to five hours. A neighbor, sometime since, had almost" decided that it would be cheaper to buy their butter than to try to make it (they had but one or two cows). “"8 ex- plained to her our process, and she went home inspired with hope to make another trial, and came back after a few days to relate with delight her experience. She had followed closely our instructions. She rolled out her churn as usual into the kitchen in the morning. Her husband came in and took off his coat preparatory for a two or three hours, siege. “No,” she said, “I do not wish to have the churning done this morning; wait till noon.” He came again at noon, took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves, ready for business, but after a. few minutes churn- ing called out in great surprise, “\Vhy, here! get your bowl.” \Ve have a barrel churn, but do not use it; it is too cumbersome to handle and to have around. As we manage, we find the old-fashioned dash churn more convenient. young, old, or middle-aged, who find them‘ selves nervous, weak and exhausted, who are broken down from excess or overwork, resulting in many of the following symp- toms: Mental depression, premature old age, loss of vitality, loss of memory, bad dreams, dimness of sight, palpitation of the heart, emissions, lack of energy, pain in the kidneys, headache, pimples on the face or body, itching or peculiar sensationabout the scrotum. wasting of the organs, dizziness, specks before the eyes, twitching of the muscles, eye lids and elsewhere, bashfulness, deposits in the urine, loss of will power, tenderness of the scalp and spine, weak and flabby muscles, desire to sleep, failure to be rested by sleep, constipation, dullness of hearing, loss of voice, desire for solitude, excitability of temper, sunken eyes surround- ed with LEADEN CIRCLE, oily looking skin. etc., are all symptoms of nervous debiliiy that lead to insanity and death unless cureu. The spring or vital force having lost its tension every function wanes in consequence. Those who through abuse committed in ignorance may be permanently cured.

If milk is heated in the winter season more cream willbe obtained, and the churn- ing done with much less trouble. After it has stood twelve hours set the pans one at a time, over a. kettle of boiling water and lct them remain until brought nearly, but not quite, to the scalding point. If scalded, it injures the grainand flavor of the butter. Let the milk stand, after heating, twenty-four hours, and then skim. The temperature of the room in which the milk stands in the winter season should range from 60 to 70 degrees. In skimmin be careful to take as little milk as possi le with the cream. Cream should be churned every third dayâ€"every other day in the summer season. Put the cream in the churn in the morning; add a quart or two of milk, according to the quantity of cream; a quart for each gallon or gallon and a half would be sufficient; mix well and let the churn stand where the ther- mometer will range from 65 degrees to 68 degrees, for three or four hours. Cream will bear to be considerably Warmer in the win- ter season, when you commence to churn, then in the summer. This matter of heating the milk in the winter season and lettin the cream stand a few hours after it has een put into the churn, is one of great impor- tance if you wish to do the churning quickly and to get all the butter from the cream. Dairymen and those who have creameries, please pass this article by. It is only for those who keep but a. few cowsâ€"four or five. \Ve have usua. 1y four cows, and make butter the year round. \Ve try to arrange matters to have a new milch cow every three or four months, one in the fall, one in mid-winter, another in spring, and still another late in the spring. This helps greatly with the churning. Sows AND THEIR PIGS.â€"J050ph Harris, a. wellâ€"known agricultural writer, and an authority on everything relating to the pie, has repuiiated his former advice to build what is called a fender around the inside 0 the breeding pen. The theory of the fen- der is that with this six or eight inches from the floor, the sow cannot roll herself back and crush the pigs when they try to get behind her. But the sow knows her own business better than the breeder can tell her. She will pile up straw or other bed- (ling against the fender, tucking it in so closely that nothing can get behind it. The sow knows if the owner does not, that be- hind her is no place for her young to get themselves. If left to themselves, with plenty of short beddin , sows will generally manage their young ietter without than with man’s help. Unless the sow has been made gentle by petting, any interference with her is a mistake. Even then it has to be done with great caution. Sometimes a pig may stray away and get chilled, but the pig’s instinct is for warmth, and the sow places herself so that in finding the warm place he also finds the nourishment he needs. QI'ALITY 0F EGGs.~â€"Every one has noticed that eggs produced early in the season lnve a. better flavor than those which hens lay after they run at large and live mainly on grass and insects. \Ve mean, of course, when both are used equally fresh. The character of the feed has much to do with the quality of the eggs. Sometimes meat that has become too stale for the market is cut up and boiled for the hens, but though they eat it ravenously, one who knows the feed would not care to eat the eggs it pro- duces. Cheap meats, if fresh and wholesome, are good, but judicious feeding of milk, wheat, bran, oats and other nitrogenous foods will make meat feeding unnecessary. Cotton-seed menl, mixed with other ground feed, is excellent for producing eggs, but it is too strong food to be fed to any stock in large quantities. All Men Churning. UMUNTO UUTTING SCHOOL.
