sarm f GATHERING FRUIT. The Horticulturist says: The appearance and value of fruit depend very much upon when and bow it is gathered. Strawberries, if picked carefully with halt or quarter of an i nch of the stem attached to each berry, and laid carefully into the basket, will carry better j and sell for a greater price than when pulled j hap hazard, gome with hulls and stems on and j some with them off. Aggin, if they are gather- j ed when they are perfectly dry, they will keep i longer and retain a better flavor than if gather ed while wet. A little water not only hastens decay, but it rapidly destroys the (laver of many delicate, soft varieties. After being gathered, they should never be allowed to I stand out exposed to the sun, as with many j varieties it takes but a little while of expo sure to hot, clear sun to destroy their bright ness of color. Currants should also be gatheaed with their stems: they should also be dry, and all loaves thrown out. Gooseberries, iffor ship ment, should be gathered dry, and a careful expulsion of all leaves will cause them always to command the best price. Like the straw berries, care should always be taken not to expose tbem to a hot sun after gathering: for such exposure soon gives the appearance cf being half cooked. Raspberries and blackberries are too often seen in market and on the table half broken and mashed. None but whole and perfect berries should ever go into the box or basket for market. It pays to carefully assort them before sending to market: for the mingling of ( a few bruised or mushed berries induces de cay and detracts from their value in the judg ment of the dealer. Cherries should never be gathered when otherwise than perfectly *lry. We have known them to decay entirely in twenty-four hours when gathered whilt wet. It pays also with cherries for market to carefully sort them over on a tabic, picking one any mashed or wormy or imperfect fruit before sending to market Of course the stems are, or always should be, attached, although we have occa sionally seen them in market looking more j like round cranberries than cherries. Peaches should be left on the tree until | fully ripe, and then gathered carefully with I thumb and finger, and at once laid into the j basket or box iu which they are to be mar- | keted. If the bloom is rubbed oil'the peach, i by rough handling, its beauty of appearauee { is injured, end it will decay much sooner than if untouched. Formerly it was supposed that j the peach must be gathered before ripe in order to ship it any distance; but practical experience has proven that ripe fruit, not quite soft, will carry just as well as unripe and command a much better price. Pears and apples should never be picked | from the tree by breaking the stems. Unless the stem will separate freely from the tree, the fruit is not ripe: it will neither eat nor cook good, and is only lit for those who want | a touch of cholera morbus. Apples, as soon ] a3 gathered, may be sent direct to market: but nearly every variety of pear is improved I in appearance and quality by keeping in close dark drawers, wrapped in flannel or soft paper, or packed in bran a few days. For profit, and in order to obtain the high est price, all fruit pays to be assorted into two or more grades. A few scattering large berries, apples or pears, in a quart or bushel, do not assist in advancing the price; but if carefully packed by themselves will bring the highest price, and often induce the dealer to buy the small fruit in order to get the large- GREASING WAGONS. l!ut few people are aware that they do wagons and carriages more injury by greas ing too plentifully*thau in any other way. A well made wheel will endure common wear from ten to twenty-five years, if care is taken to use the right kind and proper amount grease: but if this is not attended to, they will lie used up in live or six years. Lard should never be used on a wagon, for it will penetrate the bub and work its way out around the tenons of the Bpokes, and spoil the wheel. Tallow is the best lubri cator for wood axie-tiees. and castor oil for iron. Just enough grease should be applied to the spindle of the wagon to give it a light coating; this is better than more, for the sin plus put on will work out at the ends, and be forced by the shoulder-bands and nut-washers into the hub around the outside of the boxes. I o oil an axletrce, first wipe the spindle clean with a cloth wet with spirits of turpen tine, and then apply a few drops of castor oil near the shoulder and end. One tea spoonful is sufficient for the whole.— Ohio Former. REEKING up MEADOWS.—A Wisconsin farmer was asked how he kept up bis high grass lands, selling the hay off year by year, as he did. His reply was, "I never allow the afternath to be cut." To this the Wisconsin farmer adds:—"lf this rule was generally followed there would be less said about the running out of grass fields or short crops of hay. Some farmers feed off every green thing and compel their cattle to pull up and gnaw off the roots of the grass. Cutting roweu is certain death to bay crops. A farmer had better buy hay at forty dollars per ton than ruin his hay field by close grazing. Ihe general treatment of grass land in this respect is wrong and expensive, and should be abandoned as a matter of profit and economy." CUCKEXS DBISSED AS TERRAPINS. —Boil a l.ne, iarge, tender chicken: when done, and while yet warm, cut it from the bones into small pieces, as for chicken salad; put it into f a sfewpan with one gill of boiling water; then j stir together until perfectly smooth one quar ] ter ot a pound of butter, one teaspoonful of j flour, and the yolk of one egg, which add to the chicken, half at a time, stirring all well together; then season with salt and pepper. After letting it simmer about ten minutes, add half a gallen of Madeira, and send to the table hot. e have tried this and know it to be excellent, a little better some would say than the terrapin itself.— Oermantown Tele graph. A MAINE ORCHARD.— J. H. Smiley, of - assalborough, Me., gives us the figures of j sales from his orchard for the past three year*, which will interest our readers. He says: ''My orchard contains one and five eight acres including some twenty or more trees just commencing to bear. The crop the past season w as 148 barrels, amounting to $700; thiswnh the crops of 1866 and 1867 amount to 4_s f OR whiah I received upwards Of S2OOO.

Ohio has the next largest number of farma-m.ooo, averaging in acres,, Rhode-Island has over 3000 farms, averaging 96 acres. These figures, are given in round numbers. FOR every three hundred and fifty bushels of potatoes removed from our fields, the soil sustains a loss of ninety-two pounds of potash. Consequently, wood ashes is one of the most valuable of manures iu the culture of the p f aa. jgw maraud. "WE'RB is a pickle now," said a man in a crowd. "A regular jam," said another. "Heaven preserve us," mourned on old lady. THAT only which contents a man, when youth and follies are passed, can be counted a success, and all else is failure. MEANS OK GRACE. — "Mr. Jones," said Mrs. J., with an air of triumph, "don't you think marriage is a means of grace?" "Well, yes," growled Jones, "I suppose anything is grace that breaks down pride and and leads to repentance." "WHY is i the happiest of the vowels?" The answer is: "Because iis in the middle of blisgj ein hell, and all the others are in pur gatory. A DISPATCH in a backwoods paper states that the Republicans at Chicago have nominated Gen. Grant for President and "Col. Fax" for Vice President! BLINDMAN's Brrr is supposed to come nearer to genuine human sympathy than any other amusement known to the children of men, because it is a fellow feeling for a fellow creature. SYDNEY SMITH said to the canons of St. Paul's, when they wrote to him urging the advisability of a wood pavement round the churchyard—"Let them lay their heads together and it will be done." j "MY SON, would yousuppose that the Lord's l Prayer could be engraved on a space no larger than an area of a nickle cent?" "Well, yes, j father; if a cent is as big iu everybody's eyes lasitis in yours, I think there wouid be no j difficulty in putting it on about four limes." "DID I understand you to say that I was lousy, sir ?" "Oh, no, I merely told my friend that when it rained lice in Egypt, I thought you must have been walking about there without hat or an umbreila—that's all. A REPARTEE. —"How fortunate lam in get ting a 'rain-beau' in this storm," said a young lady who was caught in a shower the other day, to her beau of promise who happened to come along with an umbrella. "And I," said he, gallantly, "am as much rejoiced as the poor Laplander when he has caught a'reindeer.'" BORES. —OId gents who sit down in an ed itor's sanctum and read newspapers to him. Atstuttering man drunk. A drunken man that does not stutter. The man who reads all the newspapers, but never buys one. A man that wants to borrow money from you. THERE is nothing more damaging thau a witness who proves- too much. Miss Edge worth tells us somewhere of an Irish peer, who, traveling in France with a negro ser vant, directed him, if questioned on the sub ject, always to say his master was a French man. He was punctually faithful to his or ders, but whenever he said, "My massa Frenchman," he always added, "So am I." THE following conversation occured be tween a graceless boy and his teacher, "What does your father do when he sits down at the table?" "He asks for the brandy bottle." "I don't mean that. Well, then, what does your mother do when you sit down at the table?" "She says she will wring our necks if we spill any grease on the floor." i Two SICK NURSES were talking of their I profession over their tea. "You understand," said one to the other, "the doctor said it was I brain fever, cora. quently he ought to have been out oi his senses. Weli, not a bit of it! He watched everything I did, as weil as a well man conld have done. And at last it worried me so that I went off, saying to him, 'Sir, I am an honest woman, above all sus picion, and I won't stay with sick people who keep from being delirious in order to watch me." A BIT OK PLEASANTRY.—A French news paper recently had occasion to compliment an official, who, passing where a fire broke out, rendered efficient service to life and property. The distingushed official wrote the editor, ibauking him tor such an unex pected complimeut, and expresses the hope that Government will see that he is rewarded as follows: The Order of the Bate for having wet two shirts. The Order of the Annunciation for having caused an alarm to be given. The Order of the Golden Fleece for at tempting to save several sheep. The Order of the Garter for having com plimerited several young girls who worked , much harder than the men, the latter being | better driukers of wine than drawers of wa ! ter. -*♦- THAT'S THE GAUL OK IT.— On one of the days last winter, some eight or ten men were warming themselves, in varions ways, in the Kinneo House, down in Maine. Large sto ries about trapping and hunting being the or der of talk, an old trapper in the corner came out with: "Wa'al, boys, I rickon I've been a trapper in these parts long enough to tell some pretty big 6tories without stretchin' things either. I'd come over into Kiuneo one win ter —three years ago, I reckon, to get an inch auger; and as I was crossin' the lake to my cabin, three miles on t'other side, I remem bered I hadn't nothin' in the cabin to eat, so I reckoned I'd stop and kitch a fish. I got out my line, bored a hole in the ice with my auger, dropped the line in, and in leas'n one hour kotch more'n a dozen fish, and one o' 'era must have weighed ten pounds." "But how did you get it up through an inch hole?" asked a by-stander. Turning round he an swered: "Wa'al, stranger, that's the gaul of it!" COL. MOORE, a veteran politician of the Old Dominion, enjoyed a great personal popularity on account of his affability of man ner, and, of course, could always carry a big vote whenever he was up for au office. He generally spoke to everybody he met, and usually succeeded in convincing people that ■he knew them well. He met his match one morning, however, when, on meeting a countryman, he shook hands heartily with him, and commenced: "Why, how do you do, thir? I am very glad to see yon; a fine day thir; I thee you thtill ride your tine old gray, thir." "No, sir; this horse is one I borrowed this morning." "OI ah! well, thir, how are the old gentlemau and lady?" "My parents have been dead about three years, sir." "But how ithVour wife, thir, and the children?" "I am an unmarried man, sir." "Thure enough. Do you thtill live en the old farm?" "No, sir; I have just arrived from Ohio, where I was born." "Well, thir, I gueth I don't know you, as well as I ought to.

The trunk and fan sides being clowd culOi n n e cltT" r nedies LidTffi! calties in cleaning grain against windy weather It bags the grain by reasonable management „ uf ' ficientl, eleau for market, and its capacity under ordinary circumstances, is from twenty to forty bushels per hour, using eight horses and the ™ number of hand,; but to force the work under favorab e circumstance, it will thresh from to fifty bushels per hour, and with more ease and agreeableness to hands than any other machine DOW in common uce. The No. 2 is particularly adapted to the farmer's use: in intending to apply to any common ii\ ' or railway power; weighs 1,300 pounds; ha, an iron threshers frame, and cylinder, 12} inches in diameter and 28 inches long: deliver, the clean grain in bags, or if desired, in a half bushel' r, delivers the straw fifteen feet from the feeder or if desired, can deliver the straw and ' hafT toge'th er; will thresh and clean, in good grain ready- for market, from 100 to 175 bushels of wheat or from 300 to 500 bushels of oats per day, using four si* horses, and the same number of hands- but to force the work, under most favorable circum stances, good grain, 4.-., will thresh and lean considerable more. The Machine will thresh and clean all kinds of grain generally threshed with the common machine, and requires no more hc-e power, but in many cases does not run so hard. It will apply very well to a two-hor-e rail way power. Now here is what the Farmer and thrcsh-rman wants, a .Separator to go from farm so farm, to thrash grain, with more satisfaction than anv Other separator now in use, and why is it' Be cause this separator has a self regulating Blast, which prevents grain from blowing into the chaff, and also has a seif regulating feeder o feeu toe cleaner and it ha, rollers ami combs the clean er which prevents it from choaking. TVhv does this machine run so light, and give so little trou ble' Because there is less friction in the -1 ( ,.,rl nals, and the rake- and fan are geared so that vou have no trouble with Belts breaking and slipping causing dust to fall into the wheat. Why does It clean against the wind? Because the blast has direct action on the grain and the cleaner is so well arranged that the wind has no chance to drive the dirt into the hopper. Why is it built permanently on two wheels and the front car riage separate, ready to attach when necessary' Because it is more convenient in the barn without the front carriage. You can turn the machine or run it from place to place more easily. Why has it not got Eipvators like some other machines? Because the Elevators carry the fifth back alter nately into the cleaner which must eventually go into the good wheat or in the chaff, and all know, that filth should be kept separate for feed. Ac., we might as well keep shoveling the Tailings from under our hand fan into 'he hopper and ex pect to get the grain clean. Why is this separa tor more cleaner and satisfactory to work about than others ? Because the Kan "and Trunk Sides are closed up to prevent the wheat chaff and dust from coming out and scattering over the fioor, causing waist and giving much truuble with dirt and sore eyes, Ac. Wby do Threshertnen get more work with these separators than they do with others'! Because this separator has all these advantages and many more, which makes it a separator suitable and a paying one for all farmers and 'fhrashermen that have grain to thrash, whilst iu most cases farmers inu,t suit themselves to the machine, because the machine will not suit itself to the farmer. In short, this is the cheapest, most durable, reliably, simple and most agreeable to work about and the only separ ator that will clean and bag the grain sufficiently clean for market nuder all circumstances. Farmers can rest assured that this machine is no humbug, and judging from the high recom mendation of farmers that are using them, we must come to the conclusion that it is the very Machine that farmers want and will have as soon as they have an opportunity to appreciate and attest its merits, for which we hope they will give us an opportunity, as we are willing to be respon sible if it does not perform as represented in this Circular.
