Tint IH n subject about which a great deal has been said in 1 bin <le- ' {inrtinent in time pant and it in of MO much value in itrelf that very much ! more will doubtless be aid about it in time to come. Perhaps no other paper has from year to year given BO much practical information about it. The readers of this journal know that we seldom theorize, or in more homely words, "beat about the bush,*' in anything we have to cay on ques tions interesting to to our brethren who are deeply interested in the CCOII omy of agriculture, but rusli at once into the gist of the subject. In grafting it should lie borne in tnin 1 that the scions should be taken only from healthy trees, ns any di*. eat 1 condition of the scions will convey this unbc-dthiix -s to t'ie ru w growth, which will actually alb ct the tr'i - ever after, even if it should not eaue its eventual destruction. The fruit grafted can only represent that of the parent tree, and when there is a lolling off in size or quality it m >y !H> Uikcu for granted that something is wrong in the condition of the tree from which the scions arc cut. In , cutting the scions care should le ob. served to do it 1-cforc the sap ha* be ' gun to move in the spring. In ftu t, to be sure of there being no mistake in this, it is In tti r to cut them late in the fall or in mid winter, and tying each kind together, labtl and bury in the ground under a shed, from which much moisture i* i xciuded. < ir.sinmid the ground not Is.- frozen, stick the ends two or t!m c inches in the ground at the bottom ol the tree from which the scions are taken. Grapes and | cherries cannot be cut text so.n in the winttr or spring, and all e ion* had better le cut now, and then the work will l>e sure not to be omitted through neghct. IVar and apple scions cut and preserved in this way can be set quite late in the season— even up to May a- dune. In grift ing it is very ncc< sary to do the work carefully, a* it is sure t be ' comj i nsa ed for by the ready and un failing success which will f How. - (iermantown T< 'rgmph. Tho Poultry Yard. RAIsINO ntICKENS F"R PRoriT. ■■■■— • As a general rule farmers, in the true sense ol the word, cannot or do j not make a sjtccialty in any line that j is not strictly in tho category of ae tu.-il farming operations. There are very few lines of o|>cralion but that have their s|>ocialiaLs, and whtn they set themselves up as teachers, do not do so from the real farmers' stand point. but do so as professionals, and so, in making their recommendations shoot, so to speak, over the average farmer's head and from numerous rules and suggestions, tend to dis courage rather than encourage. Kvery farmer should raise poultry, the quan tity of which he must judge for him self, taking into account his location regarding neighbors and all questions of foeling in any way the successful management of the same. Whether turkeys arc to be raised depends upon the location. If near neighbors, and the farmer has any regard for Uie quiet and peace of the neighbor hood, he had better omit the turkeys, since their disposition is to roam and they will become trespassers and a prolific cause of dissension. Geese and ducks arc similar in their nature, and unless restrained will roam about at will, causing damage to crops ; but they can be confined iu a pea where there is plenty of water and will thrive, not the case with turkeys. In point of fact, for all purposes fid as w source of profit, bens are ic most profitable for the farmer. ! lie Iwnclit that comes from bens do ! vouring insects, etc., goes a great way , in balancing any damage that may come from their being at large. It is more s'ltlnftictory to have hens con ! lined in a yard to which is attached a wuri and well lighted room for a shelter at nights and during the win ter. The chief profit of poultry comes from the production of eggs during the winter senson, when, the price is high ; but if any one imag- I ines that they can procure eggs by j half feeding ami allowing hens to i rooat on trees or in open sheds, they | I had better go out of the business im- j mediately. It is in having a warm shelter and an abundance of food ! given in variety that causes hens to lay in winter. A mixture of grains such as corn, buckwheat, oats, rye, wheat screenings, with ocoasionally a feed of chopped apples, cabbage, tur nips or onions, and also occasionally a mi lt of cormncal scalded and spiced with red pepper, and once in a ; while u feed of chandlers' scraps or pieces of meat chopped, will give a variety ver.y similar to the food when running at large, and will be more likely to produce good results than any other continuous feed of one va ri-ty. It is also necessary that the fowls should have the opportunity of enjoying the sand hath when desired, and which should be provided for their t.-e; nor should broken and cru ,( i hoi.i oyster shell*, tt . It- omitted, 1 -.1 there he a want of material lor shelling the <gg". If farmers e-xer< ie a little judgment in this matter, there w ill he little ft :>rof favorable results ; ills wherecarclcs m *s prevails that failure occurs. It should he born in mind that thtte is one important source of profit i.r the manure that cornet fr.eii poultry. It i■< fa concentrated :.inl powerful kind, an l very valuable for , most crops, and it can fully saved will amount to u < onsidt ruble quanli ty in the course of jtar*. 11 is not the inlenti nof this arti cle to give xplii t directions regard ing the* entire management ot fowls, hut simply to throw out a few hints that shall lead to a more sat, -factory pra tire than is adopted on many fa riu *. —(i trinan to w n T'!<'jrt/>h. Damyard Economy A datk stream, often of golden col or, alwajs of golden value, i! iw t> wa.-ite from many Ann : ican barnyard*. Tbi-liquid fertility often t liters the sidediU h of ihe farm lane, som<-liima of the highway, and empties into a brook, which removes it Is yond the reach ol plants that would grcatly prolit by it. Mice may gnaw aln Ic into the grainat} u. 1 daily abstract a small quantity of grain, or the sku-k may reduce the profits of the poultry yards, but leaks are small in comparison with that poorh constructed and ill-kept barnyard. The most, valuable part of manure is that which is very soluble, and unit ** il is retained by some absorbent, or kept from the drenching rains, it wiil be quickly out of reach. Manure is a manufactured product, and the sue ccs of all faim operations in the older States depends upon the qual- j Ity of this product. Other things , being equal, the farmer wdo comes out In the spring with the largest j amount of the best quality of manure, will be one who finds farming pays the best. A barnyard, whether on a ; side hill or a level, with all the rains ! Irec to fall upon the manure heap, I should be so arranged as to lose none of the drainage. Side bill barnyards arc common, because the barn thus locate*] furnish a convenient cellsr. A barrier of earth on the lower aide of the yard can be quickly thrown up with a team and road scraper, which will catch and hold the drenching* of the yard above, and the course, newly tnsdc manure will nbsorb the liquid and be benefitted by it. It would be better to have the manure made and kept under cover, always well pro tected from rains and melting snows. Only enough moisture should be present to keep it (Yom fermenting too rapidly. An old farmer who left his manure to take care of itself, once kept some of bis aheep under { cover and was greatly surprised at . the increased value of the manure ' thus made. In fact, it was so strong j that when scattered as thickly as the leached dung of the yard, it made a distinct belt of better grain In the " field. The testimony was so much j In faror of the stall-made manure, t tliif* farmer is now keeping ail his live stock under cover, and the farm is yielding larger crops and growing richer year by year. If it pays to stop a leak in the grainary, it is all the more Important to look w*ll to \ the manures that furnish the food, that feed the plants, that grow the grain, that fill the grain bin. At this season the living mills are all grind- I ing the hay and grain, and yielding the by-products of the manure heap. Much may be saved in spring work j by letting this heap lie as small as out-door yard feeding and the winds and rains can make it, but snch sav ing is like that of the economic sportsman, use as little powder and j lead as possible. In farming, grow the largest possible etops, even though it take a week or more of i Steady hard work to get the rich, heavy, well prepared manure upon the fields. More tuan this, ctfrich the land by throwing every stream of fer tility upon the acres which have yield ed it. Watch the manure heap as you would a mine of gold.— American . A'jriruUnriA. Preparing for tho Garden The succtM of a garden depends much on its earfv preparation and planting in the spring.

Hardens which arc already laid out may lie modifies! by re-arrangement, so that much, if not . most, may be subjected to horse cul tivation, and ihe amount of hand hoe ing materially lessened. There are many which are commonly planted in beds, and kept than, if at all. with hand labor, which may be arranged in drills for the purpose. PKOPIR DIVISION 01 R \::vs.-TLere is very little economy practised with regvd to fencing, as a gcneral rule, and this should be looked at more than it is by our farou?". If vou look at the majority of farms you will find the same division of land into fields that was a quarter of a century ago, and even further back. ■ As far as can be made convenient, tbe different fields should he com posed of an uniform quality of soil- A fit 11 that is partly heavy and part ly light soil, or some of which is on high and some on low ground, is rarely the best for any crop, and the different parts, if not fenced off, should at least be cultivated and crop pod by themselves. There Is a great amount of money lost every year, in the snapc of valuable land and pro ductions, by not having proper and conveniently fenced fields. It is not unusual to see corn in the shock, tur nips, fall wheat and aftermath in the same field at the same time of the year, and the pasture in this field is completely lost. Raisixo A M'ARA'it s.—A Massa chusetts gardener plows very deep for asparagus, manures plentifully and plants in furrows eight inches deep, gradually filling up level as the 1 plants grow. Rows should be four feet apart, and plants from twelve to twenty inches. Thick setting bring in a full crop sooner, but thinner set ting gives quite as good results in the long run. A bod is in perfection from eight to twelve yesrs old. Tho fourth year's growth will be of Ml market sue, but the third will give a medium crop of medium sized stalks. An old bed Is bard to kill, but con stant and late ontting up to August, with subsequent cultivation, will do TIIK want of pure and fresh water accounts in many instances for the lack of eggs during the winter season. Fowls require a constant supply of water, and without will not lay.
