Like any other kind of machine, the niußt have the raw ma terial with which to manufacture her products. Site nUo han a limit toiler capacity, and nhould not be expected to perform service lieyond her ahili ' ty, but should, however, be kept in constant running order, as long a 8 he is needed by Iter owner. The ma terial upon which she should work must vary according to the require ments of the manufactured article, and as her itlltif Ol taschei her how- to select, all that is necessary is to place within her reach that which she de sires, and everything will be well. To produce an egg the hen must have a certain kind of food for the yolk, or fat portion, known as car bonaceous, and for the while i-he needs food rich in nitrogen, from which she makes albumen. For the shell she needs lime, while many, other substances enter into the com position which it is unnecessary to detail, the omission of any of them I being detrimental to good work on , her part. Thus, while we may feed a ben Literally, apparently, by omitting to allow that which it is needed to j complete the process, she may remain idle for want of a single substance, , though fully supplied with every thing else. She often gives indica tions of her wanU, for the "soft shelled eggs," ttccasionally noticed, aimonish the breeder that lime in some shspe is needed. The change of color in the comb and wattles, the drooping of the wings and the anx i >us, nervous appearance are all signs that something is radically wrong, for when the productive organs are | not healthy the vigor ol the fowl is likewise affected by such derange ment. How important is it, then, to en deavor to keep ditbrcnt kinds of raw material within reach of the hen in ; order to realize from her ail that she can do as an egg machine. Hie is , specially adapted for that pur|>*<-, and her health is better when she is in good laying condition than at any other time. P.'very machine sooner or later wenrs our, and in order to keep I tbcin in working order they arc oiled, and carefully watched, but the hen attends to her ow u derails if supplied with material, as she is a living fac : tory fur egg production. If she wears | out she supplies her place with her 'descendants, and is ever ready to act will her part if her owner will do likewise.— Farm, Field and Firaridc. Tho Boat Seed Corn. A great many of our experienced farmers agree that corn for planting taken from the middle of the car is the best, and of course to avoid lak ing any from the ends : and we have always heretofore commended this as worth following. Decent investiga tions, however, have shown that what nature might call the best for her purposes is not always the best for ours, because the objects arc differ ent, and it will not do to take nature : as our guide in everything we want jto do. In corn, for instance, we may j want to get plenty of grain ; or it j may suit us beat to have plenty ol I fodder in the first place, leaving the quanty of grain as a secondary mat i tcr. Then again we may want in j some cases early corn, and in others late corn ; and even in the height of the stalks at the adaptations of the | peculiar soils or climates, we need peculiar varieties; and for all of Ibis nature cares but very little. As a general thing, however, those who j have experimented considerably with , corn in tho selection of seed, have looked to only one single point, and j yet wc see in how many points we j may want to be accommodated. Yet there is one point that seems to be clearly establislied—at least it is gen erally believed and acted on and that is that corn left to ripen on the stalk ah It grows is not as good for planting as that which is taken from stalks that have been cut before the 1 frost appears, in order to use the fie 1 .- I der. Why this should lie so we are 1 not prepared to say, but it would 1 seem to show tbut corn secured be 1 fore the plants are quite ripe is latter i' fur planting than the corn would be .' which is matured in nature's own j time and mode. Then* would appear that in all I these things, no mutter what has been ji our experiences, there is room for i more. The seeds from the top of the ear may give plants that will produce - ; more grain in proportion to fodder, ', or the reverse, and so may the seeds from the middle or base ot the ear. We icbliy bilieve that theie ure all of these difference* in seeds, and il is well worth finding out just what the differences are and reap the benefit. (jcrinai)Lown 7". /"/ruy./i. Grnpo Pruning i .. ~—: (nape vines thai have come to a healing age may generally lie pruned so scientifically as to make the pros [active results very certain. By ex amining the v ineS wliil- they are grow , ing one can very readily see from which buds of the previous year's growth have s|rung the branches that are producing the fruit ol the cur rent year. This will serve as a guide to the pruing for the n xt croji, and , so on from year to year. .Shoots i . from canes older than the last year very seldom produce anything but wood, but that wood is all right for a crop the next year. .Shoots from the ; auxiliary buds when the old and new wood arc joined will hardly ever pro- i duec fruit. The first bud beyond an axil will be found fruitful, but the clusters that grow from the next bud, i and for several further on, will gent-r -ally bear the shouldered branches of the crop. 1 have found that six buds on a strong cane, so selected, will generally yiild three fine cluster* each, ami occasionally four. We may look for this nuudnT of clusters from the buds of very strong and vigorous canes of the last year's growth uji to the capacity of tin vines so prurn 1. Hence, according to the number of perfect clusters we estimate the \inc capable of produc ing, we can readily select those giving the bet promise, ar.d cut all the oth ers off. This plan of pruning is scientific, and, while it gristly reduces the la bor as compared with old method of having sjiurs of one or two buds ah over the vine, it as surely gives a- ' good prospect of less wood and more grajfCS.— II .

It is common in some quarters to use any kind of salt for butter, but unless the best be used the butter will be inferior, and necessarily will sell low. It is economical to procure good salt for such purposes. Gleanings. Belos Holchkiss, of Cheshire, Con., has sn apple tree, which is supposed to be the oldest, largest, and most fruitful in New England. It Is the last survivor of the orchard which was set out by the first settlers of the neighborhood, and popular be lief fixes iU age at 180 years. The tree is sixty feet high, and the tips of its utter-most branches are 104 feet apart. Mrs. llotchkiss affirms that she bss picked 136 bushels of sound apples from It In a single year. The American Dairy ma n soys there is one point that should be deeply impressed upon the dairyman's mind and that is if be wants to make a first class article of batter he must churn often.

One of the daugh ter# was the first to discover the cars 1 inoviug silently up and down, receiv ing and discharging their cargoes of I passengers. .She jerked her father's coat sleeve to direct his attention to the phenomenon, and, in a tone' that was audible to the clerks in tie neighborhood, asked : "What's that, paw '!— that thing going up arid down, 1 with sof) s in it ?"

A 1'1.1.N I.MI V K OF I'OTATO Uult.— A correspondent of the Hunbandinun na) s that sulphur is a preventive Of potato rot, and this is confirmed by the experience of a Vermont farmer who rolled his cut potatoes in fine sulphur at planting an i dusted the plants as they appearc 1 above the ground Neither rot, worm or insect touched them, though potatoes on neighboring burn# were bally dam aged. His potatoes were excellent and the crop yielded. There is no doubt that sulphur will assist materi ally in preventing fungus growth in other plant# as well as potatoes, and it would be well it farmers would give it a trial for such purposes the coming season. THE Country (JnUlcman, reporting it# expcriineuts in sub-soiling during the past season, claims to have had best success with potatoes.
