FRUIT GARDEN.
\ great revolutien has occurred in selecting
fruit trees for planting. Bushy plants are
now sought for. The shade which the side
branches make is considered beneficial to the
tree. As to the beneficial effects of continual
digging about trees, which we oppose, all cul
tivators are not unanimous; but mo3t of them
now abandon it after some years: the only
difference of opinion being how many years
after planting shall this style of cultivating
continue? With very low branched trees
there is this advantage, that the plow or the
spade cannot approach very near the trunk.
Rich soil is however essential to good growth
and good crops. This is the essence of "good
cultivation."
In preparing for planting trees, the soil
should be stirred up at least two feet in depth.
Of course the trees should be planted in the
holes only so deep as they stood in the ground
before, rather higher, it any thing, as the soi|
will settle. Good common soil may be filled
in the holes if the Datural soil is very bad;
but anything applied as manure may be etir
red in the surface-soil after the trees are
planted. Some object to making deep holes
for planting trees, as if the soil is stiff they
become wells, collecting water lrom aurroun
ding soil, and rotting the roots. It is best to
underdrain such soils before planting. If
this canuot be done it is best to plant such
ground in the spring. The water objection is
a fatal one for fall planting in such ground,
Trees that have long steinß exposed to hot
suns, or drying winds, become what gardeners
call "hide-bound.' That is, the old bark be
comes indurated,—cannot expand, and the
tree suffers much in consequence. Such an
evil is usually indicated by grey lichens which
feed on the decaying bark. In these cases a
washing ot weak lye or of lime water is very
useful: indeed, where the bark is healthy, it
i s beneficial thus to wash the trees, as many
eggs of insects are thereby destroyed.
Whitewash is frequently resorted to by far
mers; but the great objection is its unsightly
appearance, —the result is otherwise good.
The great opposition to washes formerly was.
that the pores of the bark were closed by
them,—this was on the supposition that the
bark was alive; but the external bark of most
trees has been dead yearsjbefore the time of
application; and "the breathing," if so the
operations of the pores can be called, is
through the crevices formed in the old bark
by the expansion of the growing tree by
w bic-h the living bark below has a chance of
contact with the air. No matter what kind
of coating is applied to the bark of a tree, it
will soon crack sufficiently by the expansion"
of the trunk to permit all the 'breathing' nec
essary,— The Gardener's Monthly.
How TO GET BIG Cuwrs.—As a rule, far
mers are much more anxious to get big prices
than big crops. There are few farms whose
average production could not be doubled in a
very short time by more capital and labor.
It is safer to use capital in farming than in
al most any other business. The credit of the
plow is quite as good £s that of the loom or
the anvil, and the capital will come if called
for. Use more manure and'get thirty bushels
of wheat where "you" now get fifteen, aud
ei gbty bushels of corn where you now get
forty. The quantity of grain per acre is
mainly a'question of manure and. tillage. A
big compost heap makes a full bin. With
high manuring, the.soil needs a deeper stirr
ing and a gradual bringing up of the subsoil
to the surface. With the present horse
harrows and cultivators, nearly all the cul
tivation can be cone by horse power, at a
great saving o( expense, and a great increase
of the crops. Plan for big crops this season.
HEADING IN PEACH TKEES.— This tree is
such a rapid grower, that, if left to itself, it
will soon become straggling and awkard; and
it should be headed in and kept low, and it
will thus become more symmetrical, as well
as more convenient for the fruit gatherer.
This process has also the effect to prolong
the life of the tree. It often happens that
the extreme ends of ihe peach twigs do not
ripen and are winter killed and would be
better off than on the tree. They are by this
mode of trimming kept nearer the ground,
exposing both the tree and fruit to less injury
b- storms. Some perform the operation in
spring, others in autumn. We have practiced
both ways with good results, and now suit our
own convenience as to time, so that it be af
ter the leaves have dropped, and before the
starting of the trees in spring.— Journal of
Horticulture.
M FARMERS' BOYS.
The boys catch new ideas much more read
ily than their fathers, and, with the impul
siveness of youth, want to test them. They
go to the fairs and see the fine stocks, the new
tools, the premium fruit and vegetables.
They read the papers, if they have them at
home—if they have them not they borrow
them. People who read cannot very well
keep themselves in the dark in regard to the
changes that are coming over our husbandry.
It the father keeps up with the times, has
agricultural papers and books, reads, thinks
and practices, be retains the confidence of his
boys and can readily guide them. But if he
is a man of routine and keeps them in the
ruts, the boys soon become disgusted with
farming. They don't want to break their
backs over the scythe if a machine can do the
work better and at a tithe of the expense.
1 hey want horse rakes and horse hay-forks.
I hey want sub soil plows. They want blood
ed stock in the stable and sty. They want to
mote a little faster and do business on n
larger scale. Ihe boys have the facts and
arguments on their side, and If you want to
retain them on the farm you must keep up
with the times, and make farming a live
business. Ihe sub-soil plows have spoiled
the ruts for this generation.
Another thing: the boys want an interest
in the business, and the sooner yon give them
an investment in the farm or the stock the
more likely will you be to make farmers of
them. It is true the law gives you a right to
the avails of their labor until they reach their
majority. It may be true that these services
are no more than a fair compensation for the
expenses of their childhood. The inter
course between parents and children should
not be graduated by the legal scale. You
o not want your son for a servant, but for a
' " m P & nion and support in your declining
. tar - ion want to attach him by affection
"" '"-west to the soil he cultivates.
Begin, then, early to identify his interests
with your business, as if he were under no
o.i tgaton to you. If he fancies stock, give
K•W 11 aml !et lh be his.
Especially encourage him to plant orchards
If tTT lhC fiDCSt —tyof fruit,
these Wi!l take
est n these things very early, and before he
is old enough to think of leaving your roof,
hw taste will oe formed and hi, coarse in life
determined. H.a heart will go down into the
•Oil with lhe roots of every fruit tree that he
p.ants, and the orchards and gardens of the
old homestead, or of others close by, will be
his paradise, which nothing but necessity can
drive him from.

"WHAT IS A TARE." —A father living near

Ac.
"What is a tare?" asked the anxious pa
rent? Johnny hesitated.
"Tell me, my son, what a tare is."
"You had em," said Johnny, casting down
his eyes and wriggling his feet.
"Had em!" said the astonished parent,
opening his eyes rather wide, "why what do
you mean, Johnny?"
"When you didn't come home for three
days last week," said Johnny, "I heard
mother tell Aunt Susan that you was off on a
tare."
The Sunday School lesson was brought to
an abrupt close, and Johnny, the cunning lit
tle rogue, was sent off to bed.

agreeablcness to hands than any other \

use; in intending to apply to any common lev.'

iron threshers frame, and cylinder 12i inch ■

300 to 500 bushels of oats per day, using' four <,r
six horses, and the same number of hands; but to
force the vrork, under most favorable circum
stances, good grain, Ac., will thresh and clean
considerable more. The Machine will thresh ard
clean all kinds of grain generally threshed with
the common machine, and requires no more horse
power, but in many cases does not run so
hard. It will apply very well to a two-horee rail
way power.
Now here is what the Farmer and thresherman
wants, a Separator to go from farm so farm, to
thrash grain, with more satisfaction than any
other separator now in use, and why is it' Be
cause this separator has a .elf regulating Blast
which prevents grain from blowing intc the chaff,
and also ha.! a self regulating feeder o feci tne
cleaner and it has rollers and combs the clean
er which prevents it from ohoaking. \>hy a„ tt
thisi machine run so light, and give eo little trou
ble? Because there is less friction in the Jour
nals, and the rakes and fan are geared so that you
have no trouble with Belts breaking and slipping
causing dust to fall into the wheat. Why does ft
clean against the wind? Because the blast has
direct action on the grain and the cleaner is f0
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. Wbv hat
it not got Elevators like some other machine- ?
Because the Elevators carry the fifth back alter
nately into the cleaner which must eventually go
intc 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 closed 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 Threshermen 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 Tbrashermen that have grain so
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 separ
ator that will clean and bag the grain sufficiently
clean for market under all circumstances.
Farmers can rest assured that this machine is
no humbug, and judging from the high reci tu
mendation of farmers that are using them, we
must come to the conclusion that it is the very
Machine that farmers want and will hare 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. Shop prieee of Machine* range from
$215, to $540.
pEsff-We warrant the machines to be as above
represented; also against any reasonable defects
of material workmanship, 4c.
