Weeds in pastures are apt to he neglected at this seasoa, and not only present a disa appearance to the eye of the neat "a-mer, but ripen and scatter seeds to the detriment of many future crops. If they , ro w in thick patches, cut them down with a mowing machine; but scattered mnllen, bull thistles, 4c., may be cut up singly with a sharp grub hoe. Weeds in corn, potatoes, and other hoed crops, frequently spring up in considerable numbers as a sort of second growth after the fields have been kept clean up to the present time. It is very important, and will save much future weeding to destroy these weeds while they are yet green and soft, and have not formed seeds. Many sorts will bear a thousand seeds on a single plant, and if a tenth part of these grow, they will make a hußdred the first year, ten thousand the sec ond, a million the third, a hundred million ihe fourth, and ten thousand million the fifth —which will be enough to cover a thousand acre farm with twenty plants to the square foot, and crowd out every vestige of a crop if allowed to remain. It is better to destroy the first plant. Stubble ground may be cleared or most of its weeds by running over it with turrows, about two feet or more apart, and then har rowing the whole. The weeds will spring up in profusion, and the first plowing will turn the whole crop under. On soft mellow ground harrowing along will answer. Timothy seed, in order to be perfectly clean which is of the utmost importance, must be obtained from this alone, by previously and very carefully pulfing ont all fonl weeds. It is often cut too late, or when the seed shells. The best time is wheu most of the heads have become brown. It may be cut with a hand scythe, a little practice of the workman enabling him to throw the heads all one way, and rendering it easily bound, when dry enough, in the course of a day or two. Sometimes the tops are cut with 5 cradle, end afterwards the lower part with a mowing ma chine. Feeding animals should be commenced early in the season —the earlier the better when the same amount of food will accom plish more than in cold weather—One of the best managers of swine commences fattening in spring, and continues uninterruptedly throughout the season—tne result ot which is. together with good management, nearly double the amount of pork from the same quantity of feed as compared with the com mon practice. Straw stacks, from early thrashed grain, should be made as carefully as stacks of bay. Straw is valuable in many ways, and is well worth saving bright and clean, instead of be ing thrown into irregular heaps, to become i rregularly soaked with rains and spoiled for all practical use. Much hay may be saved when b jilt in stacks by handsomely finishing the top with a load or two of good straw. Harvest tools, as well as all other tools, on the day they are done with, should be careful ly cleaned and brushed bright, and then se curely placed under shelter. We are glad to be able to say that it is now much rarer to see horse rakes and mowing machines remaining half a mouth in the fields, exposed to the cracking suu and rotting storms, than form erly. Draining wot lands in many instances can be done only during the present season. It should, therefore, be done promptly, and the result will often be an increased crop the first year, sufficient to pay the labor. Aluck swamps may frequently be drained without difficulty during the month of August or early September, and will afford valuable supplies of material for compost heaps and for barnyard dressings. Being usually the driest at this period of the year, it may be shovelled out into heaps more readily, and with much less labor than when soaked with water. If the- surfaces of these heaps are made steep, ai d are lieaten smooth with the spade, they will throw off water and become little affected inside A covering of straw will be still more effectual. The muck will then be dry when drawn for use in the early part of winter, and be more valuable as an absorbent than if previously saturated with moistnrc.— Country Gentleman. WHAT KINI) OF SOIL FRUIT TREES REQUIRE, 4C. Every kind of fruit tree, when transplant id, requires, in order to flourish, the soil to be well prepared for them, and to be either in soil naturally, or artificially drained. The laud, if in sward, should first be planted to some hoed crop, potatoes being best, and well manured, no matter whether you are to set pear, apple, cherry, peach, or other trees. \I hen the potatoes are dug, if you have time to set your trees in the fall and most kinds do just as well set in the fall as in the spring, (if the soil be free from standing water,) put on a double team with a large plow, and turn overthe soil from 12 to 15 inches, if you can, provide the subsoil has some fertility at that depth. A coat of manure plowed under c this time will be valuable; but if highly ma nured on planting the potatoes, spread broad cast, another coat will not be necessary on good, tertile soil. b our land is now in fine condition to re ceive your trees: but it must not, in any case, be such as retains standing water long, after heavy rains. After your trees are set, keep the land in some hoed crop, till they bear fruit, manuring the land in some degree yearly, and when the trees come into full bearing, and occupy the most of the ground, plant it to hoed crops, but keep down weeds and grass with the cultivator. Peach, pear and plum trees require this management particularly; but apple and cherry trees, when five to ten yean, old, will produce good crops, if the land then be put to grass, but not as sure crops as w hen otherwise managed. Dwarf pcais should be set) about ten feet apart, or in rows ten feat apart, and eight feet apart in the rows will do very well. Staudard pears should be set about 12 feet apart. Peach and cherry trees should be set about 20 feet apart. Apple trees should be set from 35 to 40 feet apart.— Rural American. A BOOT THE DOOK.— A bit of shrubbery in the yard, a vine climbing by a trellis, a strip "f refreshing green spread from the door, are sure to make a place of greater marketable *alue; which, with many, is a consideration to be thought of before any other. Such need io further appeal to their sense of neatness. But all those who really love the at,csi .ons of beauty for their own sake will ". 1 ' m , U 'oof patch, the shrubberry, and *' ar *' Vlne > because they make al most any home more attractive and lovely, and cause the sentiments to sprout like the t ery eaves and buds themselves. How few stop to> consider what a powerful association J e. lurking ln flmple but { , miliar ',, f ' " !lt ,' l! roe ' 8 b!t of grass, or a border as 1® 1 J . ftre ° bjecU lUI hol<J almost M ' I BlrOD ß'y to borne as wife a d children: they are closet, associated with these, in fact, and can with difficulty be separated. Therefore, we say to all "Brush up about the door, and plant near by an object of simple beauty. It will bear fruit in the heart a hundred fold." STRAWBERRIES. —Any time in September, when tfce ground is in order, strawberry plants tuny be put out with the expectation, if planted early and under favorable circum stances, of getting a fair crop next spring. Any dty. rich aoil i suitable for them, and they are so eaeily cultivated that there is no excuse for any one in the country being with out an abundant supply. Let the ground be spaded about fifteen inches deep, having first spread on it a good coat of well-rotted barn-yard manure, pulver ize the lumps upon the surface and rake it smooth. Mark off the rows two to two and a half feet apart, and set the plants, from six inches to a foot apart; the closer distance if the plants are abundant. When plants are costly, give more room, and let them fill the intermediate spaces as they make runners. — Baltimore Sun. PFWUMW. "1 AM laying for you," as the old hen said to the chap who was hunting for her nest. MEN rarely make fools oi themselves ex cept at the request of their wives or dangh- 1 ters. WHAT is the difference between a hungry j man and a glutton? One longs to eat and | the other eats too long. A WA<; suggests that a suitable opening for many city choirs would be, "O Lord, have mercy on us miserable singers." "MY noticn of a wife at forty," said Jerrold "is, that a man should be able to change her like a bank-note, for two twenties. IT is said that when a Russian husband ne glects to beat bis wife for a month or two she : begins to get alarmed at bis indifference. Tut height of politeness is passing around j upon the opposite side of a lady, when walk- ' ing with her, in order not to step upon ber i shadow. CAX any reasonable doubt be sustained of : the stability of a bank whose directors always j show a great reserve when questioned about j its affairs. A NEGRESS speaking of one of her children , who was lighter colored than the rest, said: I "7 nebber could bear datbrat," cause he shot j dirt so easy." A MAX named Sumbarz had a woman ar rested the other day in Chicago, for "fright- I eDing him terribly." The Judge admonished . the young woman to be careful bow she acted ; towards unprotected-men hereafter. A MISER who was asked why he married a ' girl from bis own kitchen, said that "the . union was attended with a doable advantage —it saved him not only the expense of a wife, but the taxes on a servant." A SERVANT was asked why it was difficult to wake him in the morning; "Indeed, master, it's because of taking your own advice, al ways attend to what I'm about; so whenever I sleeps, I pav attention to it." 'I SAT, Mr. Pilot, ain't yon going to start soon?' said a nervous traveler on a steamboat lying to during a fog. 'As soon as the fog clears up,' replied the captain. 'Well, it is starlight now overhead,' said the man. 'Oh, yes! But we are not going that way.' A late California paper mentions a duel which was fought between a Yankee and an Englishman, in a dark room. The Yankee notwishingto have blood on his band's fired his pistol up the chimney, and to his horror, down came the Englishman. A KNEEDLESS JOKE.—A man in getting out of an omnibus a few days ago, made use of the two rows of knees as banisters to steady himselt, at which the ladies took offence, and one of them said aloud, 'A perfect savage!' 'True,' said a wag inside, 'he belongs to the Paw-nee tribe,' 'ABE you fond of Hogg's Tales?' asked a city iady of her country lover. 'Yes, 7 like them roasted, with salt on them,' was the response. "No, 7 mean have you read Hogg's tales?' 'No, our hogs are all white or black. 7 don't think there's a red one among them' No GOOD ESGUSH.—A German applied to Judge S —to be removed from sitting as a juryman. "What is your excuse?" asked the Judge. "I cannot speak English," he replied. "You have nothing to do with speaking," said the Jndge. "But I cannot even understand good En glish." ."That's no excuse," said his honor. "I am sure yon are not likely to hear good En glish at this bar." "MADAM," said a polite traveler to an ec centric lady, "if I gee fit to help myself to this milk, is tbere any impropriety in it?" | "I do not know what you mean; but if you mean to insinuate that tbere is anything nasty in that milk I'll give you to understand you've struck the wrong house. There ain't the first hair in it, for as soon as Dorothy told me the cat was drowned in the milk, I went and strained it right over." A BAKER in New Brunswick, N. J., noted for the smallness of his loaves, in going his rounds a few mornings since, knocked at the door of a customer. 'Who is there?' inquired the lady of the house. 'The baker,' was the answer. 'What do you want?' 'To leave your bread.' 'Well, you needn't make such a fuss about it; put it through the key hole.' Oxk of the deacons of a certain church ! asked the bishop if he usually kissed the bride at weddings. 'Always,' was the reply. 'And how do you manage when the happy pair are neggroes?' was the deanon's next question. 'ln all such cases,' replied the bishop, 'the duty of kissing is appointed to the deacons.'

GEISERB' PATENT SELF RROfu t TING GRAIN .4] 4RATOR A " CLEANER AND BAGGER With the latest Improved Tripple-Oeared n Power, driven eiiher by G„ r No. 1 is & (iiibt-hori6 nowf-r v ;>v , , thresher frame and wrought iron and wood i-'1" sixteen inches in diameter ami rhirtr fh'til inches long Trunk has ten inch Sie cr k seven rake, U thirty five inches wide, anTdehv ers the straw on the second rake, these rarrv th straw out on their tops, and deliver it , „ stack or, which will deliver about thirty fir- f„.! beyond the feeder, on a tack fifteen eigh^n [he chaff' *?,t V * e43 ' l ' f> carry [ate t the Btraw ' or deliver it in a Mtt.V rate place. The trunk and fan sides beingeloied to confine the straw and chaff, remedies all dTffi ItlVrh "'"l*'*" 1 ' Kain " t "'"dy weather Ifhags the gram by reasonable management If' ficiently clean for market, and its e.pi tJ ordinary circumstances, is from twenty u, bushels per hour, using eight horses and " number of hands; but\o g foreeZ wi k ''T favorable circumstance, it will thresh from fort to fifty bushels per hour, and with more ease and agreeableness to hands than any other machine now in common use. The No. 2 is particularly adapted to the farmer', use; in intending to apply to any common ever or railway power; weighs T;3P pound.; h J E iron threshers frame, and cylinder, 124 inches diameter and 28 inches long; delivers "the eX gram in bags, or if desired, in a naif bcshel. It delivers the straw fifteen feet from the feeder or if desired, can deliver the straw and chaff toreth er; wil. thresh and cleaff, in good grain, readv or market, from 100 to 175 bushels of wheat or 'fX 300 to 500 bushels of oats t er day, using four Z six horses, and the same number of hand?' but to f..roe the work, under most favorable cireum stances, good grain, Ac., will thresh and clean considerable more. The Machine will thresh and clean all kinde of grain generally threshed with the common machine, and requires no more hor-e power, but iu many cases does not run hard. It will apply very well to a two-horse rai'- way power. Now here is what the Farmer and thresherman wants, a .Separator to go from farm so farm, to thrash gram, with more satisfaction than any other separator now in use, and why is it? Be cause this separator has a self regulating Blast which prevents grain from blowing into th- ch-ff and also has a self regulating feeder o leea tae cleaner and it has rollers and combs the clean er which prevents it from chunking. TV by does this machine run so light, and gii e so little trou ble? Because there is less friction in the .Tonr nals, and the rakes and fan arc glared so that y..u 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 i< , 0 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 ba it not got Elevators 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. 4c., we might as well keep shoveling the Tailings from under our hand fan into the 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 Fan and Trunk Sides are elosed up to prevent the wheat chaff and dust from coming out and scattering over the floor, causing waist and giving much trouble with dirt and sore eyes, 4c. Why do Thresherinen get more work with these separators than they do with others ? Because this separator has all the.-e advantages and many more, which makes it a separator suitable and a paying one for all farmers and Thrashermen that have grain to thrash, whilst in most cases farmers must 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 -efar ator that will clean and bag the grain sufficiently clean for market under all circumstances. Farmers can rest assured that this machine is no humbng. and judging from tb.e 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.
