A FEW lIINTS AIIOLT ÜBAFTINd.
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. -

■■■■— •
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

Damyard Economy

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

Preparing for tho Garden
The succtM of a garden depends
much on its earfv preparation and
planting in the spring. Crops which
do not ric- | putting ,n till warm
weather arrives, are greatly benefited
by the thorough preparation and the
pulverizing and enriching of the scil.
It is a<ll, therefore, to apply in win
ter ull the manure which may be
wanted. Pulverize.] by frost and
Icacued into the by rains and
melting KJ WS, it will !• worth more
than if spread in lumps after spring
opens and is iinfierfectly intermixed.
All new gardens for vegetables should
be arranged for h< re cultivation, by
| extending the plants in drills a< ros
i it from cud to end. This will gr ally
• reduce the labor of keeping it clean,
and the few minutes required to cul
tivate it once a week will be trifling
compared w,ih long and laborous
hand lal or. Ihe crops will grow vig
rrou-ly by keeping the soil constant
ly mellow ar.d clean by tho frequent
pas'-ing of the narrow one horse har
row or cultivator. 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.

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.
