Every farmer in An annual experience Ui,cover, manethiny of value. ll'rite it and eend it to the " Agricultural Editor of the lilClf ocßAT, Ucllefonte, I'enn'a," that other farmer, may hare the benefit of it. Eet eommumration, be timely, and be ture that ihey are brief and well pointed. Fruit Growing A practical farmer and fruit grow er has been giving the Chnml*ersburg I alley Spirit home hints on fruitgrow ing. He says: "On taking a young tree from the j nursery it is generally divested of ! nearly nil its fibrous roots, through i which the tree has been drawing its j nourishment from the noil. In such cases we find it profitable to cut back i the branches to insiue the life and growth of the young tree. We do . this In compliance with nature's law l of correspondence. Nature true to | this law, preserves the proportion of quantity between root and top: her.ee, after cutting away a large por tion of the roof, we must uiake a corresponding reduction of the top by cutting back the branches,other, wise there would be a lack of nutri ment from beneath and the excessive verdure could not be maintained, but must languish or die."- "From this experience," he contin ued, "some are ltd to the conclusion that much and continued pruning strengthens the growth and vitality of the tree, than which there is no more fatal error. Continued pruning dwarfs and kills. The f isage orange in its native state grows to the size of tolerable tree, so large that the trunks arc used for building houHK hut wuen used for fencing and cut back every year it becomes more dwarfed and loses vitality at every cropping until it dies. All this fol lows strictly in accordance with na ture's law, that the roots will die in ' proportion as the branches are cut ■ off. Many orchards arc |>crmanent)y ! injured by the severing of large limb, from the trunk and divesting the tree 1 , of a large part of it# verdure, or more projicrly its life." In reply to the question .- "Are not many trees killed by unskilled bands ■i-. '.;:> d in pruning rather than the act of tlx pruning itself ?" he said : j "The folly of employing unskilled uid inexperienced hands to trim fruit ; tt.es is wed illustrated by the uf the farrm r, who on leaving one nornir.g m early spring told m a bad liven blred the day before, • > trim up bis apple trees. On his : tui. ir. the evening he inquired ol s w • .man li s many tiiis In had iiimnie i. To his surprise he was iniukly told I•> the man that he wa* not quite d'Oic willi the cutting down ! the trii-i- and that the trimming ! w■ rn 1-1 ! dom on the morrow The/ j • < may not encounter the ignorano . '.hat w ul l result in such whole-ale j k.ll '_• ul .the tin is a f;n t ' that the i.an i of destruction is too (dtui at work, sloughing oil luige limbs near the trunk and thus en dangeiing the life of the trie "Kit let it not be mf.rnd that I runing is unnecessary, *' said he. t'From the first cutting back at plant- : ing the attendant should examine his , trees every spring with reference t<- the foi malion of their tops and take out such branches as would be au in U ifireiicc, allowing no more limbs than the future tree should have, so 1 that there will be no need for crop ping limbs in after years. Sap shoots should he carefully taken off. And let it be borne in mind that nothing I so much encourages the growth of ' tap shoots as the cutting out of large limbs, the sap intended to nourish j the blanches that are separated spend- ' ing itself in the production of wild shoots." When ask. d to what extent prutiing ! should lie indulged in. he replied: "Let pruning lie studied with refer ence to the formation of the top when the tiec is young and the branches small, when only slight wounds will be effected, and to keep the tree uir I encumbered with sap shoots, hearing | in mind always that excessive prun ing will kill the tree. Let the owners ' > of orchard* apply more lime and , ashes with a plentiful supply of bsrn yard manure to nourish and invigor. ste the trees and there will be an im provement in the quantity and qual ity of the fruit." ♦ m - - The ÜBO of Potash Halts. Kainit, or German potash salt, is now being used extensively in all parts of the country, and, as a rule, with very satisfactory results- The majority of our farmers, however, are not as familiar with its adaptation to special crops as they are with super phosphate. Some valuable informa tion regarding kainit is found in a letter written by Mr. E. Wenig, of Sclio-nlanke, Prussia, to the A mrrican Firmer. Mr. Wenig says that as soon as one kind of plant food is deficient in the soil the crops fall short. To produce 200 pounds of clover hay the so'il on which it grows ought to | hold fbeside other material; thirty 1 pounds of available potash and ten pounds of phosphoric acid in an available state. Suppose within the HOII there is at hand, instead of ten pounds of phosphoric acid, only four pounds, then only 800 pounds of I clover hay could be expected. Or. if instead of thirty pounds of potash only twenty pounds are at hand, no more than I,pounds of clover hay could IK: expected, and the surplus of the other sub-stance would appear a" dead capital within the soil. .Many soils, although rich in phos phates, are lacking in potash, and consequently do not give a full crop I'eaty or swampy ground, after be ing freed from water, receives the most benefit fioin potash. Next to peaty soils the light sandy soil is most licncfltcd by applying potash salts, as both soils are, as a rule, very deficient in potash. Soils consisting most of weather-licaten basalt, or fieldspar, are seldom iu need of pol ash, unless potatoes, sugar beets or tobacco raises! uninterruptedly have taken away the soluble potash within the soil. Even for more loamy land the reports from experiment stations assert that potash salts are in lispcn | able in consequence of their indirect influence. FxjK-rimcnts have shown that an application of 100 p >unds of ' phosphates, with fiO pounds of pot 1 ash, had a lietUT effect than 200 pounds of phosphates used alone Thi- fact shows that jiotash salt not only acts as direct food for plants' but its indirect ii flumce—its solvent action on other substances, csjiccially on phosphate—is of the greatest im portance, sometimes morf than as a direct food. This indirect influence appears again by applying potash salts either to |>otatoes, sugar lieets or to bailey and - at*. The first named roots are great consumers of I j-ot.-isli . the grains want but little, still the grains are generally, as cx periments sliow, !>. i* filed in greater degree by applying {Kitash salts than the | otash ( iDSumirs potato. and beets. An indin.'t by using (Kitash alt~ is that a soil well manured with ' potash suits r< tains more moisture, i which is \.rv important for light, sandy soils. .Most rUI soiis deficient in potash are IIM wise- in need of plios piiales; therefore, whether as direct 'fodor s as Kent agent, it is adxis able to apply both at once -say 10b pounds of phosphates to 50 pounds | of kainit (sulphate e>f potash.) Fitlier list d alone lias no effect. Only the lupines are satisfied with kainit alone. I without any ad.li ional manure, and another condition in applying it is that the land should contain lime. The rule to apply potash salt is to I spre ad it long before sow ing or plant' i ing, preferably in the fall. Plow it in and mix it with the sod intimately, as there is no need to fear its sinking into the subsoil, washing away or j evaporating. Frequent Miiktntrs The influence of the frequency with which milking is practiced during a a period of twenty-four bonis, both ii|Kin the animal and upon the milk, has been extensively discussed, and: still remains far from lcing settled. Whatever may throw light open it, or furnish facts that may find prac tical application on the latins, must be- received |by gratification on every j hand. Th results of the experiments of Krlenmeyer will, therefore, be con. sidercd with no little interest by ' those engaged in the dairy business. This able investigator made a series of experiments and observations with rniiking und feeding to d tannine, first, the influence of the feed and* second, the influence of the frequen cy of milking or the time intervening between the several.milking* upon [the quality of the product. Con trary to an opinion accepted to no small extent he conclude* froin the first part of hi* work that the quan* tity of milk produced depend* not only upon the activity of the gland hut upon the quantity and quality of food administered as well. When the animal* are subjected to ttiee daily milking*, that drawn in the morning i* greater in volume hut poorer in the valuable constituents, especially fat, than that drawn at ■other times. This is accounted f r by the longer time ,'intervening ie tween tire milking*. '1 lie milk drawn at midday i* richest in fat, and i* therefore preferable to that drawn at other limes. The whole subject , worthy of further and more thorough | examination than it ha* already rr ceivcd, nr.d there will doublb-** P.- found in it much of interest and VllK for dairymen of every class. Liht nnd Heavy Manuring. A question ofti n ocur* us to ihe amount of manuring which i- ncct profitable to apply to land. A light drev-ing. over a wide suifacr, i* by Home believo-d to be Is-st. while other* insist on heavy manuring on a mint ed scale The question i* an vwrni by the manner in which the tnannie is applied. If merely spread on tin surface and plowed in, a wide anil thin coat woul i be. most profitable. A large mass would not bee nn<* in termixed with the soil, and n • dr\ *eaon might f>e worse tiian u. •••,- Five thin coats, plowed und<- n• many ears, would h< much better than one coal five t m. . a * thick, simply turned under v. ot. operation. A large amount may b. applied in a single season, provme . it is first finely broken and pnlvtr.y ed, and then intimately Intermix..! with the soil by repeated plowing .1 >i harrowing, or on a small scale with the spade, hoe and steel tske. Country Crnllntian. Quack Grans A Massachusetts correspondent of the Kir ira Fatmers'Club, destroys quack gra by the following process : He plows the land just before planting n! any cmp, nine inches deep, which puts all the qua k roots, four iodic* underground, the n spreads plenty ol manure, harrow* thoroughly with on of the efficient n< w harrows, making the surface a* mellow as |w*- sible for the nt w seed l*d. Thecroj is cultivated very thoroughly til! it completely shades the ground. Cab bage or corn fodder answer well. The roots plowed under, having nobrtalh ing, will r >'. nrd enrich the soil. Isaac Mekct l, of Cayuga county, X. V., stated nt the late ('anc Grower* convention, at Geneva, that by | I*nt ing a ten acre field every year with ambtr cane, lie I a 1 entirely cradic.it ed all tLe quack grass. lie c.inw* hack to th fi.

SKKK corn may he msde safe from wire- worm- and other vermin by soak ing it .otfon planting in a mixture consisting of one pound of blue vitriol or sulphate of copper in a gal lon of water. The solution should IK; lukewarm and the *eed may soak a day or a day and a baif. The poison will not only kill thg worms but it will also destroy any injurious fungus germs that may OB Ui® grain*, ('are should be taken not to get any of the solution on the hi mis, as it will make sores.
