Qutnco Culture Tlie quince in a groan fretler, nn in indicated by the multitude of itn Ub roiin route interlacing and granping every portion of the noil in ita vicin ity. It dcligbln in bollown tbut have received the wntli of fertilising mat tern from higher ground*, riature'n pockeln, that have Ireen attiring up fertility lor agen ; and from thin fact came the mintaken idea that the quince nhould he eet in low, wet plac n, and it in often planted where watt r ntand the greater part of the year. In nucli situation* no fruit tree will continue to thrive. 1 have hail an good suc cess w ilh quinccn, *ct in upland that is quite dry, but in good condition of tillage and fertility, an with those set in moiat, heavy soil, each receiving the ssmc treatment. Thin fact ban caused remark from trany visitor*. The injury done the quince by over fertilizing is greater than is liable to occur to almost any other fruit tree, as in very rich soil, or when ahuo<'- antly supplied with stimulating ma nures, its growth is excessive, to the exclusion of fruit-spurs, and the rank succulent growth continuing until the approach o( winter must receive injury from freezing, producing blight the ensuing season. In rich soils cultivation should cease after |July, and any shoots of excessive growth should lie pinched. A moderate quantity of fertilizer, annually supplied to soil of fair con. dition, is ail that is required. Leal mould, muck, sods, mud from ponds* form s safe and lasting dressing for the quince. It need not necessarily lie incorporated with the soil, for when placed about the stems, new roots will be sent out to forage throughout the mass. An orchard so treated will long rontinue in health *nd productiveness. When props irated by cuttings, strong shoot# of the current \ear's growth are cut in *he fill to one foot in length, having t bud clow* to the base, and tbe whole space between buds left on above the top hud. Bury in bundles bel w rosi. sil l in early spring plant in Tenches in rich, moist soil, slicking the cutting* at s slant of from 16 to i.O , so tha: the top bud will Ire even with the surface of the soil; stamp !irm at the low and cover with ny inch of sawdust or other light male rial as a mulch. Hatching Tim** Sooi the tiiue <>l hatch.ng will IK in order, and then tbe most inter* *V- n tr and recres'ive part of the routine of poultry raising will claim our at Unit ion ami care. Althougi. this month's rather early in our climate to set hsns, many no dotihi will ven ture * setting or two, hut in most < ases they are from Asiatic breeds. Before the time of hatching it is ad visable to save the eggs from your best.laying hens, if they are up U* the standard requirements. 111 prefer ence to tho*e laid by pullets Knell egg should be marked with the date |it was laid and put away in a safe place where it will not get chilled, and turned every day or two if kept some time before netting. It is not always safe to trust a valuable setting of eggs to a broody hen until you have proved her staying qualities The precaution for proving her sin * riiy is wry inportnot. H.oody hens KM sometimes fickle and not entirely 1 in he depended on, ami most eaperi. *By if we have choice egg* cf our 1 own or high priced ones from others j mat we do not feel di*p<>cd to risk j by giving them to a hen on her first 1 sign of broodincsa When a ben man i ifests a disposition to sit by remain ing on the nest over night, by eluek | tng or ruffling bar feathers when 1 touched or approached, it is time ; that some action Ire taken to find out iif she means business. B*lect a com furUble place in your batching room, If you have one : make a clean nc*', and mold and fashion it like the lay ing one ; retrieve the hen at night and place her gently on the new nest, with a few porcelain eggs under her, and put a cloth or hoard iu front to keep her quiet. If she shows a determin ation to attend to busineas in the nest twenty.four or thirty hours content edly the valuable eggs may lie en trusted U> her keeping. Farm Notea. No farmer can do without a grind stone, and no methodical farmer ever does without one, if he wishes to avc the price of one every y ear. And he should have a good one, ins-much as there is a great dilference in the qual ity and price. There are those also arranged that one person can do the whole work of grinding almost any tool or implement But it should be borne in mind that a grindstone should always lie kept under shelter, and only allow it to come in contact with water when it is used. It is a machine that can supply labor in rainy days or in wintry weather, when outdoor work is out of the ques lion ; sud at these times everything that is to be us. d in cutting about u house or farm can lie put in g*x*l order ready f.r use at all tunes. There is such a thing also as keeping a grind stone in good order. This is done by rasping oil ail spot* on it that may become hard, flinty, or uneven, and orie of the preventives against its get ting out of order is to be careful to remove the grease from all tools that arc to be sharpened upon it. Should there lie any inequality in the stone after being long in service, it should be rasped enough to bring it again into s perfe - t circle. When i: Is con sidered how many things there are about premises to lie ground and sharpened, and how much, without possessing a grindstone of our own we should hare to depend upon a neighbor for the use of hi*, it must # trike every one how important it is lor every f*rmer to own one, to le used at all limes when there is occa sion for it, and he will soon fuel how very often this occasion arises.— Uernnntowri TtUgraph. Mom Animal Food for Young Chicken* We do not think that we can tie mistaken in the belief thai we should be fr more successful in tb raising of young chickens by giving them a great deal more anirasl fe. as we all know, the principal fi*>d for young chickens; but we ran see no reason why those young bird* should be exceptions t< the ordinary rule < f young bird* 111 g*tiers), which bed very largely, in deed cl.i'fly, ou animal food : even UtOM wbich, wbcß they arc matin*, lio- mostlv on fiuits and seeds, arc fed wh n 111 th ir nest* on worms, bird* nil d*y long bu*i!v engaged in supplying their young with busl, but always with animal foo-\. In fact,it i* viy tsi<. that we have ... liy tl.ing tlse Why, then, should chicks I*- *ii exception? The tecum mood a tion, alui-*t without exception, iu our |iuuiltv publn a ion*, is to give more siuinsl food to our grown fowls if we expect them to give us more egg*. eiqtciaJly in wiater. when they can h* lp theraelves to n ne. That is s g r eat inducement to make thm lay more gncr..uly, we nave too many pioofs to admit of any doubt. Besides, it is claimed that animal ftHsl has other advantages in the way of good health, etc. Why, then, let us ask again, should the young chick ens not be benefitted with at lerst s moderate supply of animal lood ? All chicken raisers knew the great !oacs always suffered in the growth of them, and rosy it not he owing to a large extent to withholding entire ly of tbie strtngthening food, which is of so much benefit to the mature bird ? We, therefore, suggest to our farmers to change their method of feeding their young chickens by giv ing them a due proportion of animal food, chopped up in very small pieces and thus find out, each one for him! self, whether it ia not a very decided Iwnefil in raising to maturity an ad ditional number of the chicka into strong, healthy fowls. - - Wedding cards and all kinds of foist ing at tha Claras DSMOCBAY U*< How can Applo Orchards bj Ron orated. To this question P. M. re plies in the Connecticut Farmer: "If the trees sre good the snswer is essy , oftentimes, however, tiieie sre many trees in the orchard winch are worthless A tree that looe i the roots , a tree that is onesided, root and branch, or one Udl leaning, had lietu-r come out. Su< h specimens show the importance of I having even-balanced trees at the U ginning. Mm, suppose that we have a reasonably good orchard, that has ceased to be vigorous by continuous crops of grass a period of years. Ist. Prune moderately, taking out all dead wood i.nd all branches thai cro or chafe others, of cou*e re moving all water aprouU, or eitran . OUA brat orchards receive from continuous crops of grass, out-half the amount of orchard ng in culture may return more fruit of vastly belter quaiit* However, i culture for any reason impracticable, the next best plan is to manure freely and mulch with *. mv coar.e material,so as to smothr r t • Lewis state.) that it had bs n I i practice to plant potatoes on m <■ stubble, applying a fair cost of n a nure, and from 75 to 100 bushel* of marl per acre. Hut potatoes sre a quick crop, and barnyard mauu •• and marl have been found too sh.w in giving up their food to secure a maximum crop. His experience l*t ye.ir with chemical manures was such that he propos' hereafter :o r mplov them altogether for his crop. The season was to.. .

Mapcs' potato ma nure was u,cd at the rate of 800 pounds |M r sere, and drilled in, sui she field wa- left in excellent It. tion for wheat and grass. Any other special fertillr. -r equally rich in avail able plant fo si would answer, tin main point he ng in having a full sup ply read* ami piesenl for immediate use by the rapidly growing crop. L"*E THE UOLI.FR. —lt is wise ami timely adva-e given by the Oertna.i 1 town Tti>gruftK to use the rolUr upon jibe growing wheat, rye ami gtsM 1 crops, a* s-.on in the Spring a tlK land will a'tmil f it being entered upon Kerry Si.ner with any extent of cxpei IOUC kti-'wa that the crops enumcrausl are liable, by the freexir.g and thawing get rally going on in February and e.rly March, to be raised hum their natural bed, and then, while! the water returns from the root* these rt main and are. from time to time, by U, e operations of the frot. lotted out of the land still farther, and finally when the toil I* comes dry the rota have only half the support from it that they natur ally would have, ami must hence very serioesly sutler In the yield which they would ntberv. ise havt afforded.
