j pretty decided ideas ol" what he i*
about to accomplish—in fact, he'
must calculate before hand. He must
know the state or condition of the

the top, hut also the subsoil, and il
it needs underdrwining, and what ma
nure will be needed h he cx|MCts to
j grow a crop of grain. lie must
know the condition that his soil
should be plowed in, that it Ire not
plowed too wet nor too dr}-. He
, must know that some grain requires
earlier planting than others. He
must know that seed planted the
, proper depth will germinate quicker
and produce stronger and healthier
plants that will give better results
than if planted too deep or too shal
low. lie must know that il pays him
to have machinery to aid him aa well
aa muscle. lie must keep posted
with the markets, political matters,
public money, etc., and especially
the interests of bis Slate and country.
He must know the value of the dlf-
I fcreot klnda of manures, and when
j and how to apply them to secure the
| !rest results, lie should uoderalaod

! know that nti animal well wintered is

no more nor as as much to keep a

J than it docs a scrubby one, and thru
they look so much better, and are
something the farmer lakes pride in

cared for, always brings good rt
turns; more thsn this, they speak
well for their keeper and show up the

siiADixn mi NKS or TM:K*.
An old and experienced orchardist
and fruit grower, Mr. Edison (lay
lord, of Fluyed county, Illinois, of
fcrs some valuable suggestion* rela
live to the shading of tbe trunks o r
trees on the southwest side, as a pro
taction against tbe effects of tbe son
and wind on that side. He says tbst
he baa sought a remedy tor this seri
ous trouble by very low heads, but it
has been only partially effective; ami
the real remedy Is in having the
main branohes, as wall as the trunk,
to lean toward the one o'clock sno.
Although tbu position of bit orchard
U unfavorable, all the trteo be has set
la this way are doing finely.
Prof. Iludd, of the lowa agrieut
total college, to whom these sugges
tions were made, strongly confirm*
these views, and says that be saw lo
Russia hundreds of oberry aad plum
trees planted at an aogle of fbrty
five degree* toward the one o'clock
sun, rod ban urged for yaara the Im
portance of having trees to lean In
the direction mentioned. They have
an awkward appearance for a tim*,
but ws soon .become accustomed lo
! It, '|cciolly in consideration of tbe
! sdvHutage*'.
i There in no doubt of the correct
, n'M of these views, nor that Mr.
J Budd hue fur several 3 earn urged this
j mode of prolcclh g the life and health
of fiuit trees. We have recommeded
the Mine method for over twenty
five 3 earn, not only by the low branch
ing ol tin- trees, hut hy generally *e
CUiing the trunk* of tree*, a* well a*
of bushes and plants, nguio*t the ef
feeta ol the nun, esoeeinlly In winter,
when Hie dutiiHge i* nearly all done
hy the fret ring nnd thuwing process
on the sunny side of the trees con
attinlly going on. Hy the leaning of
the Ire H at recommended, the trunk*
!of the trees are protected agnin-l
j this ever changing of U-ni|ieralur,
while on llie noilh side, wheie the
, suit's rays have hut little t fleet, ami
' where the tetn|H-ralure i* neatly uni

Barnyard Manure.
M lloW U gather tuost of it nnd how

—was di*eucd with interest hy the
Farmers' Social at Mr. I'eter Mack.
le> 'a. The high estimation in which
barnyard manure i* held hy farincts
in this region insure* care ami econ-
I oinv in making and handling it, l>ut
evidence* of wa.u- are still too I're
. quenl, the principal one being leech
ing from the yard. To run the ma
i teriala for manure making through
the stables, is the general preference
and practice, an I to alternate the lay
I ers of the cleaning* of the horse and
oow ft table* on the yard it considered
the hest thing to do. Stock when
. out of the stalls should not be alloar
*l to run about the place, but should
be kept within the yard, with water
therein or close by.
A chief part of the discussion
j rested upon "manuring for corn,' 1
and considerable difference of opin
ion manifested itself, but it w*i gen.
erally conceded that the manure
made from the lime the wheat has
been sown to fall plowing for oora.
can Ire hauled upon the land and
1 plowed under with decided advan
' tage to the corn and after crops, and
j interfere hut little with the large
1 amount of manure required for the
wheat the succeeding year. The
manure made from that time forward
•bould be saved for the wheat, a*
well to grow a fine crop o' that val
' u*blc grain a* to insure a good stand
i of graas to fotlow-
A number of experiment* in the
use of manure in wheat culture were
; mentioned, ail favoring the applies
J tion of the msnurc on the plowed
, ground and harrowing in. The old
way of turning it under with the oats
stubble had its ndvocat<, and all
swemed to agree that if the manure
Was turned very shallow there would
• not be much difference as between
that mode an I spreading it on top.
The large and stead}- increase in
' the agricultural products of Adams
t county shows what good and intelli
gent farming will do, and ever} thing
• favors the continuance, if not the in
crease of the progress made.— Git

I LIMB run POCLTBV. —Poultry need
lime with their food. The common
food alone will not furnish lime
enough for a full supply of eggs. In
a state of nature a hen would lay a
single litter of eggs, batch them, rear
ibe cbicka, and then give up business
for the season. The ordinary food
would supply Ibis small demaud.
Hut when a hen lays 120 eggs she
will want as much lime in a month

A good crop of pea# will afford
i from foity to sixty bushels to the
acre, ami a bushel of them will go
further in making growth than a
bushel of corn, tiecause peas, iieing
nitrogenous, supply all the wants of
the system and make healthful and
firm flesh, whereas corn g<ws more to
fat, which is not so g>od for food"
snd makes softer pork with more
waste in the cooking.
The numlwr of hogs which an
j acre of |**a# will fatten depends, oi
I course, ujion the crop and the size of
the bogs. It may fie accepted as a
fact thai an acre of peas fed on the
ground, commencing before they art
fully ripe, so that the hogs will eat a
portion of the vines, as well as the
pods, will go further in making pork
than an acre of corn fed in the usual
way.
The cost of lsbor is decidedly o
the aide of the peas as well as a morr
perfect mastication, which latter
makes a wended gain in favor of the
peas. This more complete mastica
tion is secured by the fact that the
pigs eat the peas In the pods, and
the pods going into their stomachs
with the peas make a combination of
j food exactly suited to healthful ac
' lion of the stomach and the bowels j
whereat an exclusive corn diet is the •
! reverse.
A healthful action insures a com
plete absorption, without which thciw
|is a proportions!* loss. The passing
lof food through the stomach and
bowel# does not of itself insure
growth. Peas make the firmest and
best mcst of any single kind of grain.
I I'eaches Again in New England
| Mr. \an Ibizvn, a delegate to the
Connecticut Slate Hoard meeting at
W aterhury, fri.m the Shaker family
of Enfield, re|orted an orchard of
one and a quarter acres set to peach
trees wren jiars ago, that has al
ready produced an income of 12,000.
The land is upon an elevated situa
tion, but it not very ricb. Mi. Van
Iux*n prefers rather poor land, such
as will not ioduce an over rapid
growth of wood. When the annual
growth at the ends of the limbs falls
below fifteen inches, he feeds the
trees with light dressings of commer
cial fertilizers. Last year, be applied
one Win of Bradley's fertiliser to the
one and a quarter acres, lloed crops
were grown between the trees three
or four years. The new growth i
cut back every season to'keep the
branches strong. The fruit la thinned
when the trees set more than I hey
can oarry out in perfection. Hie
peaches have been sold at retail, Bos
ton, at twenty cents each.
Mr. Harry Sedge wick, of Cora
wall, reported at the same meeting,
sales of peaches at flO n basket, and-
Mr. A agar sales at 75 cents per duo
en nt wholesale.
The It ale brothers, Smith Glaston
bury, have recently net ,000 peach
trees for fruiting, a large number bm
tag the Prat& peach, which cornea
true to name from iu owe seed.
Judging by the tone of the discus
sion, peach growing In eowthern New
England is decidedly promising at
the present time, not so much on ac
count of any change in the climate
as from a better knowledge of tbe
VifiU of Lhc tfM.
