THE following useful hints we clip from
that best of all agricultural journals, The
American Ar/rieul'urist. Every one who
has a square rodof ground to cultivate should
take and read the Affrievlturtst aud ho will
secure not only profit, but also pleasure
thereby. It is "published by Orange Judd,
41 Park Row, N. Y. City, at $1 ■■>o per an
num. is advance.
FttC'.T GARDEN. —Every one growing fruit
should aim to have the best of its kiad, and
now that the different ones are ripening in
succession, he should compare his own vari
eties with those grown by others, to see
what room there is for improvement. Ehe
local horticultural exhibitions and farmttn
elubs, are very instructive to this end; and
where these are not held, one should visit
his neighbors to compare notes.
Blackberries. —Keep the ground free of
weeds by hoeing, or a heavy mulch, which
is better, as it is difficult to work snsonf the
bushes. Tie up the hranchesthat bend over
with their load ot fruit.
Grape Vines. —Keep all vinos, young cr
old, tied to the trellis or stakes. Pinch the
laterals to one leaf and when a new groWth
starts from the pinched lateral, pinch that
again to one leaf, and keep doing this, Stop
the growth of fruiting canes by pinching
them at 3 or 4 leaves, beyond the uppermost
bunch of fruit. Po not allow any vines,
young ones, especially, to overbear, fhiips
are very troublesome in soiiie places: it is
said that sulphur will keep them away.
naspbemes. —As soon as the fruit Is off,
cut away the old canes and remove all of the
new ones not needed for next year's bear
ing.
ftHrmrhtrri —After the picking is over,
fork a good comport in around thcrn. Keep
the runners pinched oi?tfolew-new plants are
needed.
Weeds. —Write the words, Motr li-yvL.
in large letters, where all hands will be sure
to see them ; and let every laborer under
stand, that if it is too wet to work at hay,
grain, or hoed crops, weeds may be mowed,
close to the ground. In many pastures,
large bull thistles cover nearly one half the
ground. They should be mowed not only to
allow the grass to grow, but to prevent the
seed blowing over the country
OILING FARM IMPLEMENTS.
Every tanner should have a eau of linseed
oil and a brush on hand, and whenever he
htiys a new tool he should soak it well with
the oil, aud dry it by the fire, or in the sun,
before using. The wood, by this treatment,
is toughened and strengthened, and render
ed impervious to water. NV et ~ new hay
rake and dry it, and it will begin to loose in
the jointsbut if well oiled, the Wet will
have hut slight effect. Shovel, and forks
are preserved from checking ami crackitig iu
the top of the handle by oiling, and tire
wood becomes smooth os glass by use, and is
far less liable to blister the hand when long
used. Axe and hammer handles often break
off where the wood enters the iron. tins
part particularly should be toughened with
oil, to secure durability. Oiling the wood
in the eye of the axe will prevent its
swelling and shrinking, and sometimes get
ting loose. The took on a large form cost a
large sum of money : they should be of the
most approved kinds. It is a poor economy
at the present extravagant price of labour, to
set men to work with ordinary, old-fashioned
implements. Labourers should be required
to return their tools to the convenient place
provided for them after using; they should
be put away clean' and bright. The mould
boards of ploughs are apt to get rusty from
one season to another, even if sheltered;
they slioukl be brushed over "with a fyw
drops of oil when put away, and will theu
remain in good order till wanted.— Ma**.
Phntyhman.
BOTTLE THE ERE IT,
Pres€YVa t*ro W'aaung aud should be ol ■
solete. It is so easy to put up fresh fruit
in bottles or jars, that every one may thus
preserve almost every kind of fruit and
sauce, and keep it in nearly its fresh state.
We use the Baker, or Potter & Bodine glass
jars almost exclusively, after having tried
numerous other kinds. The ripe, hut not
over-ripe, strawberries or other fruits, are
picked clean, put into a glazed vessel with
a little sugar, (i to a \ the weight of sugar,
according to the sweetness of the fruit) anil
simply heated through—just boiling up
once is usually sufficient. The glass jars are
warmed as wanted, by plunging them rapid
ly into hot water a few times, then filled with
hot water for a few minutes, when they arc
emptied and the hot fruit is dipped in care
fully, to keep it as whole as possible. The
jars are filled to the top. allowed to stand a
minute or two, and gently jarred to cause
the rising and escape of any air bubbles.
Thoy am then filled again to the top, the
edge of the jar wiped off with a nam]; <-w>,
the caps fastened on firmly, and then set
away in a cellar until wanted for use. Rhu
barb. tomatoes, etc., are simply cooked as
for the table, and put up hot, without any
sugar.—,l mcrican Agrimiliumhst.
THE FARJILR'S BAROMETER.
Take a common pickle bottle, wide-mouth
ed, fill it within three inches of the top with
water; then take a common Florence oil
flask, removing the straw covering, and
cleansing the flask thoroughly ; plunge the
neck of the flask into the pickle bottle as far
as it will go, and the barometer is complete.
Iu fine weather the water will rise into the
neck of the flask, even higher than the
mouth of the piebie-bottle, and in wet and
windy weather it will tall whhin an inch of
the mouth of the flask. Before a heavy
gale of wind the water has been seen to
leave the flask altogether at ieast eight
hours before the gale came to its height.—
The invention was made by a German, and
communicated to a London journal.
KIBFACE MAM RlXft.
For many years we have advocated, and
proved by the most indisputable evidence,
that surface manuring of the land is the best
mode to apply dung in a general sense, and
that some of our best farmers had adopted
it with respect to many of their crops. We
notice in the last number of the Gmnessee
Farmer a short communication from that
S'tenseiy practical fanner, John Johnson,
on this subject in which he sustains, in a
few words, all that has been said in our col
umns in its favor, to wit:— "l have used
manure, only as a top-dressing, for the last
twenty-six years, and 1 do think one load
used in that way is worth far more than
two ploughed under on our stiff land.''— ;

These Powders have proved, after a trial of sev
eral years, to be superior to any preparation of
the kind in use. The chief superiority of these
powders arises fiom the fact that they arccompos
ed of medicines that have Laxative, Tonic and
Purifying properties. The laxative ejects crudi
ties friu the stomach and intestines, the tonic gives
strength to the system of the Horse, and the puri
fying medicines contained in them cleanse the
Mood, and lay the foundation for a vigorous [and
healthy circulation. The use of them improves the
wind, strengthens the appetite and gives the horsea
fine, smooth and glossy skin—thus improving the
appearance, vigor and spirit of this noble animal.
These powders arc not intended, as most pow
ders are to bloat the animal, so as to give hira the
appearance of being fat when not really so—but
to remove the disease and promote his general
health. t

The interest of these Periodicals to American

The property of the above named company,
which U about being organized under the mining
laws of Pennsylvania, conaiatß of the following
valuable territory, to wit:
1. A lease of one-haif acre, known as "No. 3,"
on the Tenney and Storrow purchase, on Cherry
Itun, Venango county, Pa., just above Ihe celebra
ted "Reed" well and within a stone's throw of a
well just struck, flowing at present 100 barrels pei
day. A new derrick erected upon the lot. One
half the oil to the company.
2. A lease of one half acre, in close proximity to
the above, known ae "No. 8," on tbc Tenney and
Storrow purchase on Cherry Kun. New derrick
erected upon the lot. One half the oil to the com
pany.
3. The refusal for sixty days, of a lease on Su
gar Creek, of two acres of ground; five-eighths of
the oil to the company.
4. Bevcn acres in fee simple on the waters of
Ritchey Run, one mile from ite junction with the
Allegheny, about the same distance from the fox
and Widel weU, owned by the "Stump Island Oil
Company." All fiat, boreable territory, at present
under cultivation, with a good frame house upon
it.
5. Three acre* in fee simple on tbc Allegheny
river, just below the mouth of the Clarion river.
There is room on this tract for a half dozen wells.
The "Allegheny and Clarion River Oil Compa
ny," of Philadelphia, arc now sinking several wells
immediately opposite th : s property, with excel
lent prospects of success.
In presenting the above basis to the public, it is
confidently believed that it cannot be excelled by
that of any other company yet organized. The
two leases on Cherry Run are themselves worth
more than the territories of many companies
which profess to be based upon a million capital.
The Cherry Run region has proved to be the sur
est oil-producing territory yet discovered. Nine
tenths of the wells bored on this stream have been
successful. The great "Reed" well, flowing 375
barrels per day, the "Mountain" well flowing 408,
and in fact nearly all of the large wells yet struck,
are located on Cherry Run.
It is proposed to *ell a sufficient number of
shares to pay for the territory and to raise work
ing capital for its development, at the low price of
twenty-five cent* per aha re. thue placing erery *nb
teriber to thi fund on the gronnd-fionr, and gir
ing each tubm-ribrr it pro rata intercut in the ter
ritory, engine*, and other property of the company,
as well as the shares of stock remaining unsold
after the purchase money and working capital are
raised. From the nature of the leases boring up
on them must be commenced within sixty days
from the 20th of April, 1865, which is a sufficient
guaranty that the company will proceod without
delay to the development of its territory.
The following named persons haue been elected
