A WIU I m in the Southern J'/unl'r
contends that the osagc orange Ledges
| are a detriment to the soil, in that
| they exhaust its fertility for HI vend
feet on each hide. He KII)H he would
use any other kind of fence in prefer

MKMIIEIIS of the Klinira, N. V.,
J'urmerH Club report that the second
growth clover saved for need, in al
rnoht without bloom ami that seed
can not be expected. 'I he rootH are
' also badfy eaten, causing an almost
total loss ol clover.
As Indiana farmer reports to his
home farmer that his 1,.">00 currant
bushes with almost no culture, netted
him at the rate of JiHOO per acre,
which he considers sufficiently en
couraging to warrant trimming and
i u 1 1i \ ating for another season, hiipirig
to do better.
C"iiN fodder, cut at the proper
| time and carefully saved, contains,
ton fur ton, as much nutriment as
ordinary hay. To make good fodder
the corn should be cut while the
blades and stalks yet retain their
green color, and as soon as the grain
, shows no milk at either end.
A NEW VOI-K farmer declares that
the win at, oats and barley wblilihe
dragged last spring, in some doubt as
to wlu ther be was not doing more
harm than good, wi fb-d thirty three

ONION* are almost the only crop
that can be better grown year after
year on the same land. They need
high manuring, however, and with
fertilizers that contain no weed seeds,
j for getting in a new piece in onions
a crop of potatoes well eared for is
the liest that can le grown the previ

IN the report of the Western New
York Horticultural Society 11. T.
( rooks, of Wyoming county, says a
large grape grower of that county
has used salt as a fertilizer for his
vineyard for many years, with the
beat results. He reports that it makes
his fruit, "firmer, plumper and better
in every way.
SAYS the Farmer and Fruit Great er:
"( lover seed retailed at the enormous
figure of $0 per bushel this spring,
and was scarce at that. It is strange
our farmers do not make the seed a
farm crop. The first growth of clover
can lie cut in June for hay. and the
•■ecd may lie taken from the second
crop in September."
Mil. T. I). DAIRD, in the JMRRICOM
Garden , states that he tried several
experiments with tomatoes, and found
that those which had been "topped i
(cutting ofT a portion of the upper
part) were larger and four daya ear
lier than others not so treated. Vines
not staked were not as productive as
those that were, and the vines that
were only aeldom pruned bore the

Condemned Milk.
Though the practicability of con
densing milk was demonstrated more
than half a century ago, and though
it litis been an article of commerce
more than a quarter of a century, it
has made but very little progress to
wards a general use by the consumers
of milk in towns and cities, the class
ol people it was designed chiefly to
benefit. Its use is mostly confined
to the army and navy, and long voy
ages at sea, and in such places as
crude milk can not go. Why all the
, l ftr gc villages and citieH prefer to use
„ the v cry poorest quality of milk,
watered twenty-five to forty per cent,
and often with bad water ut that, in
preference to condensed milk, which
r is perfectly pure and clean, and at no
s greater cost lor an equal amount of
t dry solids, is not perfectly obvious.
I Hut so it is. Habit, perhaps, as much
1 as anything, controls the choice.
Condensed milk has some strong
merits, and also some demerits. In
the first place, none but the very
' best—perfect milk—can be sue •
fully preserved by condensing. Milk
made from feeding distillers' slops,
brewers' giuins, glucose, and corn
-1 starch meals, and any and every va
-1 riety of fermented food, and food not
actually fermented, but so stale, or
H so far advanced towards fermi illation
t that fermenting begins before uiges-
I tion is completed—just what the milk
used in villages and eitii s is mostly
. j made of—t an not Is- used for con
j I densing. It would *p d in a short
, j time. I.ven ensilage, so much prais
-lid and valued by milk-producers,
; cannot be fed to cows furnishing
r ,
J inilk for condensing fui toric, pre
j sumably on account of the readiness
with which it ferments in the rumen
of the cow. Neither can they IK.-
given any stagnant water, or anj
strong-scented or unclean food or
drink. Perfectly pure, wholesome,
and clean milk only, will answer for
t tlic condenser. All this i-> in strong
contrast with the mil!- supplied to the
• ■ inhabitants of cities.— I.A/ -Su.el;

i j -oiit a tree rather shallower than it
formerly stood is really the right w a\.
wbiUt many ] lant a tree n * thev
would a post. Hoots are of two kinds
- the young and lender rootlets, com
i posed i ntirel v of ei Us, the feeders of
' the trees, always found near the Mir

i roots of ovi r a year old, which serve
only as support! rs of the tree and
conductors of its food. Ilencc the
injury that ensue- when the delicate
' rootlets are so deeply buried in the
earth. Placing fresh or green manure
' in contact with the young roots is an
-1 other great error. The place to putn
manure is on the surface, where the
1 j elements disintegrate, dissolve and
1 carry it downward. Numerous forms
nf fungi are generated and reproduc
j ed by the application of such manures
' directly to the roots, and they immc
! diately attnek the tree. It is very I
well to enrich the soil at trans- I
planting, but the manure, if to be in
contact with or very near the roots,
should lie thoroughly decomposed." !

A Good Short-Horn Milker
I'ndeiley Itarling. of Lord Hec
tive's herd, in England, now in her
fifteenth year, gives from l*t to 20
quarts of milk per day. She has bred
regularly since three years old, and
Iter descendants form a considerable
herd ol themselves. This is as it
should be with Short-born cows, and
might generally le the case if breed
ers would lie more particular in
selecting lor good milking quality,
nnd would not nrake them barren by
stuffing them with such a quantity of
rich food from calfbocNl up, iust to
make a tine show of them, to their
great injury—Chicago Lirr-Stocl
Journal.
A HOMK-MAIK brush harrow is thus
described by Mr. ('. K. Garfield, of
the Michigan Horticultural Society:
"Those I saw were made of six small
birch trees, about two inches in di
| a meter at the butts. These were
placed at equal distances apart nnd
attached to a headpiece—a 2xl scant
■ ling—with a chain hitched to the
scantling in two places, to whieb the
whitlltrec is attached. One horse
will take a wide sweep of ground with
this contrivance, leaving the ground
j in admirable shape.*'
