Cultnro or Small Fruits. A correspondent of the New York Fruit Growers’ Club lately asked the flowing questions :j. nti back the young shoots all through the growing Beasou until frost, or should we stop In the fall? If so, at what time? , 2. How long will bfaokberry and rasp- , berry plantations last? I understand . that some growers recommend taking up the old plants every four or five , years, and setting out plants in their place. 3. I have seen it recommended to plough the furrow up to the plants In the fall. Now should the soil be left there during the next summer or taken • a W(f these questions Fuller re plied as follows: • 1. It is difficult to give directions that wUI suit all localities and soils. In re gard to pinching back the young canes of raspberries, my practice is to pinch blackberries but ouce or twice the season, according to the strength of the plants, and then only the main cane is checked, as I prefer to let the side Bhoots grow their whole length, and prune them back in winter or early in the spring. I usually commenco pinching off the main cane in July, and if the upper buds Htart to grow too strong, I check them again in August, but never later than the first of September. Late summer pinching or pruning is always injurious, particularly if the plants are growing very vigorously, because they are very likely to produce new shoots which will be killed by frost. Besides this, tho fruit buds which are relied upon for the next season’s crop, will sometimes start in the fall, and of course bo destroyed by tho frost. I have never found it necessary to check the growth of raspberry plants in summer, and 1 doubt if it is ever beneficial. 11. The duration of raspberry and blackberry plantations will depend entirely upon the soil and care given them. Probably about five years is the average duration, but I have known some to be as good at fifteen years as they were at three or four years. .L Ploughing the soil up to the plants in tijo fail, is certainly to be recommended for both raspberries and blackberries, but the soil should he made level again in the spring. Hie Sun Flower, The Hun Flower is popularly regarded as a cheap and comparatively worthless plant, cultivated, perhaps, because, tho owner of the cottage or tho homestead is hardly able to have' other and more ; gaudy and pretentious plants to orna ment his surroundings. Tt is, to be sure, a somewhat coarse, tali growing ami hardy annual, showy, ami in suitable places by no means un attractive. It was introduced from South America us early ns lobU, and hus at times been put to a great variety of uses. It was found by experiments, for merly made in this titate, that a bushel of Hun Flower seeds will yield a gallon of oil, ami that an aero of ground planted three feel apart in rows will yield from forty to fifty bushels. The oil Isas mild ftSßWcctolJ, ami equally agreeable on suluds ami asamedieiuo. Tho seed Is raised with very little trouble and we should like to see it more commonly cultivated. We find a short arlielo upon It in the Afjriculfural Intdligciic.tr , the first reg ular weekly Agricultural paper in Bos ton, we think, started in January, IS2O, by William Spear, in which the uses to which the Suu-fiower seed may be ap plied are stated as follows, being trans lated from a Portugese work : 1. Thu sprouts are eaten with oil and salt. Bread is made from tho seed and gruel for children. Home American natives cat the seed. •1. The seed gives oil for several uses. 5. ft fattens fowls. 0. Its leaves are excellent food for cat tlo in summer, and increase the quan tity of milk in cows. 7. They are also good for sheep. •S. The stems are useful to support climbing plants. serve for fuel; as good as wil low wood. id. Tho seeds when rousted have the Mayor of col lee, and the infusion of them like tea, makes a pleasant beverage. These important uses ought to set people to thinking. How Good stock I’ajs, A correspondent of the Dixie I'anncr says : I will give a recent occurrence or two, that has dollars and cents in it. A Kentucky breederreeently oflereda live proposition to a neighbor of mine, per head for all tho calves on liis place weaning to twenty mouths old—ho de clined the oiler—on the adjoining farms he could have boughtcalves offhe same ago at from Ml to £d per head. He said he would not drive them to Kentucky If they were presented to him; why? The improved breed of calves could be made to gross l,7ui) lbs , at three years old ; tho other, if ever, at five or six years; one consuming as much 9 grass, requiring the same care as the other. Comment is unneces sary. i. sold last fall at the Fair at Mur freeborn, a one year old filly for $lOO, greenbacks—she was thoroughbred cost me no more to raiso her to that age than a niougrel—or a mule-the only ad ditional cost being. 1 ?loti paid forherdam.

A (iiiod Word for the lilt bird, A writer in the Allan! ir Monthly suy one rainy day, the past summer, uh wo nut hy a window looking out upon the JluwiT hell, our attention was attracted to a eat bird apparently buried lieiul atul shoulders in the anil, and trying l<> extricate himself.

Watering the low. During the Atlanta campaign one of our Generals, being rather unwell, was fearful of u bilious attack, owing, as lie supposed, to the too free uso of coffee. The commissary procured him a cow, _ which yielded him a good sized bowl of milk night and morning. Frank, his ' body servant, and Ben, the cook, were responsible for tlio appearance of the milk on the table morning nml evening. Ono evening, after a hard day’s work, the General sat down to tiie table anti cipating his usual [refreshing repast of bread and milk, but upon tasting it thought it appeared tojbe diluted with water, and suspecting surreptitious love had been made to part with the original, and the quality of the remainder sacri ficed to a delusitory quantity. “ Frank,” said lie, “ what Is the mat ter with the milk? it is half water.” “ I duiino, General; I didn’t put no water in it,” said Frank. “Homo ono did,” said the General. “Ask lion If he knows anything about it.” In a few moments Frank returned, and, witli a very grave face, said “Gen eral, Ben says he didn’t put any water in the milk, hut he watered (he cow just before he milked her!"

M, Afternoon Session.— Tho hour having ar rived the Chairman called the Convention to order. The Chairman of the Commilteo on Resolutions reported the following series of: RESOLUTIONS. Resolved, By the Democracy of Lancaster county in Convention assembled, Ist. That the interests ot Pennsylvania demand the defeat of John W. Geary, tho Republican candidate for Governor, whoso notorious incompetenoy, untruthfulness and empty, conceit have earned for him tho contempt of the best men In his own party, and whoso renomiuatlon was only secured by tbo corrupt uso of the Guberna torial patronage and power. The corrup tion that IniH prevailed during his adminis tration hns exceeded anything this country has over seen, and no honest man can con sent to give It that endorsement which his vote to olect Geary will necessarily Imply. 2nd. That the administration ot Ulysses H. Grunt has fulled to meet tho very mod erate expectations of Iho people, and has caused them to agree with Andrew John son when he says that “Grant has’iit a singlo ldeu. He has no policy, no concep tlon of what tho country requires. Fe don’t undorstuud the philosophy of a single great question. He is mendacious, cunning and treacherous. He Is nothing more than ‘ a bundle of petty spites Jealousies and re* i sentments, He is the greatest farce that i ever was thrust upon a people, and is < only fit£ to ornament a country cross ( roads grooery.” „ „ , . Bd. That tne attempt of the late corrupt Legislature to force Negro Suffrage and Negro Equality upon the people or Penn sylvania, without deigning to consult them upon so important a measure, Is an outrage which should be resented by every white freeman of the State. The people are entitled to have their opinion taken upon this graVe question through the ballot box. For refus ing to grant them this right we arraign the Radical party before the people of Penn sylvania, upon whom wo earnestly urge the election of men to the next Legislature pledged to the repeal of the resolution rati fying the Fifteenth Amendment to the Con stitution. The Democracy will never yield their assent to the doctrine of Negro Equal ity until the voice of a majority of the peo ple, fairly expressed, has unequivocally decided in its favor. , , , 4th. That the corruption and extrava gance of the successive Radical Legislature which have for some years been secured bv tbo infamous gerrymandering of the State shows that the Republican party of Pennsylvania can no longer bo trusted; and that the only hope for obtaining hon est legislation is to be found in the success of tbe Democracy. sth. That the Democracy of Lancaster county express their admiration for and devotion to that gallant, patriotic and bril liant Boldier, Major General Winfield Scott Hancock, whose courageous, just and able administration of tho Filth Military Dis trict affords strong evidence that he pos sesses great executive ability, aDd they earnestly trust, that notwithstanding the sacrifice of his private interests which his acceptance of the Governorship of Penn sylvania will occasion, ho will permit him self to be mndo the Democratic standard bearer in the ensuing campaign. 7th. That to secure Lancaster couuty its proper influence In the State Convention our delegates arc instructed to vole therein as a unit. , Henry Schaii'ner, Esq., moved that the resolutions be adopted as reported. Colonel F. S. Pyfer, spoke in opposition to the resolution instructing the delegates to vole as a unit, and moved that all tho resolutions except the lust one bo udopted. M. M. Ktrickler objected to the incorpora tion of liia resolution indorsing General Hancock in ibu platform, it having been al ready passed as an independent resolution. Gen Wm. Fallon moved to vole on the resolutions acriatim. A. Sleimnan, I'Aq.,moved th it the lirsl live resolutions bo passed. Adopted.

Work in the Country.— Our corres pondent at Conestoga Centro informs ns that the Farmers are now very busy, many are not done making hay, while wheat is also lit to cut. In consequence of the spring having been very buckward, and the weather up to tho middle of June, unusu ally cool, wheat was lit to cut almost as soon as the grass. It is tho custonihunong farmers iu this section to finish making lmy before “harvest,” which is undoubtedly the host plan as timothy gets very hard and rough if not cut until after harvest. It has been proved by chemical nnd practical ex periments, that grass cut when it is in full bloom coutains more nutriment though not ns much weight, as when cut later. Tho weather during a week past has been quite favorable for curing hay, and tho greater part is now stored in good condition. Al though it is not as heavy a crop as last year’s, which was an unusually heavy one, it is about an average crop. The wheat which is now being cut is thick on the ground, with remarkably large auil well filled heads. The almost universal opinion is, that tho preaout crop 13 one of tho heavi est ever harvested in Lancaster county. A few farmers have commenced cutting whiie others will commence as soon as they huvo finished making hay. Oats present a much more favorable appearance than they did a mouth ago, and if not injured by Iheuphis will be n fair crop. Until tho middle of Juno corn looked poor, in consequence of tho cool weather, but tho warm wealhor since, has nutdo a very derided change in its appearauce. According to our judg ment corn ,ncvi r grew faster than it did during the hist two weeks, and at pro>onl it looks very well Potatoes will undoubt edly be a good crop H not attacked by the rot. Those which were planted early are already largo enough to use, and thoro are a good many to the stulk—there will be a good crop, even it it should be dry during the remainder of the season. r l he amount of rain hereafter will of course determine tho yield of those planted later. I f thy latter part of tho nciimui -Imuld He as Wet us the early part has luvn then l would he an im mense yield, but they Would probably be injured by the rot.

That he Is succeeding well la eviden ced by tho following complimentary notice in a recent numberof tho Daily Commercial newspaper of that oily: Yesterday, ut tho close of the examina tion of tho classes undercharge of Mr, Ja cobs, l’rinclpal of Lower Spring stroct school, Miss Muggio Jackson, ono of tho scholars, slopped forward, and In a few well-timed ana appropriate remarks, pre sented Mr. J., on behalf of tho pupils, n neat sllvor watch guard, uh a slight testi monial of tho regard aud esteem In which iio Ir hold as a tutor.

Fatally Injured—Tho Harrisburg Daily Telegraph states that Lovi Kllmaker, a brakonmn mi tlio Cincinnati Express train west, on the Pensylvania Railroad, at 12.55 yesterday morning, fell from between tho cars one mile west of Marysville, receiving two frightful mils or gushes In tho head, ex posing tho brain, ami of courso rendering the mun uiterly insensible.

She cooly replied “That It could not be so as they had not brought him home yet and it waß already the middle ot tbe afternoon.” A coiutEsroKDENT of the Oxford Press writes to that paper from Bart twp., this county, as follows: The law which passed the last Legislature prohibiting any person from turning bogs, cattle or sheep on the public roads in this township, ha 3 met with a good deal of op position, but we think the majority of the citizens favor it. So many had got to turn ing on the roads that all the pasture was eaten up, and the consequence was farmers were continually harassed with cattle breaking fences. The petition to have this law was started by two leading citizens of tbe township, and they being politically ot different parties, tho bill meets no opposi tion in that way. Mt.
