farmer's Department. Pruning. There is, perhaps no subject in horticulture si) little understood as the principles upon which pruidng is founded. The object in prim ing fruit trees is chivliy to hasten or regulate the crop of fruit,and induce or retard the devel opment of wood growth. ith reference to the former, more depends upon summer prun ing and disbudding Trees are frequently bar ren froui excessive growth, which is weakened by pruning^luring .summer. It is a well under stood fact among scientific cultivators, that summer pruning weakens, and winter pruning strengthens the wood growth. Hence the | r.ic tice of nurserymen iu pruning young trees after the season's growth is completed, to increase their luxuriance Trees that have arrived at a bearing state, if properly managed during growth, would probably require no winter pru ing, unless the removal of large and misplaced branches In the abstract, it seems a negative practice to encourage a luxuriant growth, and then cut it down in winter. It is quite possible to man age trees without having recourse to winter pruning, unless for special objects, as already alluded to. It is certain that much injury is inflicted by the indiscriminate use of the saw and pruning knife, at this time, especially on young bearing trees. Make it a study, next season, to disbud and summer prune all growing trees, so that you may weaken and check the wood ; pruning such trees now increases their vigor, since, by dimin ishing the branches after the fall of the leaves, the roots gain a greater preponderance. On the other hand, it is no less necessary, to pre vent weakness from over-bearing. Since the introduction of tlie dwarfing system by grafting on weak growing stocks, this error has been frequently committed, and unprofitable trees have been the result. It has also had a ten dency to throw discredit on the system,by those who from want of knowledge and experience, have been unsuccessful in cultivation. There are many kinds, naturally of slender growth— grafting them on slow growing stock induces fiuilfulness, and represses wood growth to an injurions extent. Such trees should have blos soms picked ff that appears in spring, all growth carefully retained during summer, and pruned down in winter. Such treatment will be followed by increased vigor, which may be maintained by taking moderate crops, and con tinued good cultivation. So much depends upon individual peculiari ties in trees, that it is difficult to form a defi nate rule that would serve as a safeguard to the uninitiated. Close observation,extended ex perience, and, at least, a si i ft lit knowledge of physiology, are indispensable requisites to the successful cultivation Of fruits,— Horticulturist. MANAGEMENT or DAIRY CATTLE.—In tiio first place it is necessary to have a comfortable j stable for the nijrht and a well sheltered place j both from the fallinp: weather and cold winds! during the day. The feeding should be rogu-j !ar and judicious, the yard should have a good j supply of clean fresh water, rook salt and burn ed and pouritied bones in a box, convenient for tlie cattle to supply themselves with phosphat- j ic matter, which is frequently deticient in the J food they consume,to such an extent as to drive t-ultle to pick up raw bones and chew tliem for , hours at a loss of time when they ought to eat vegetable matter, and at a risk of their lives. | I find a southern exposure of a bafn, a cat tle or dung-vard, with a ten foot board fence and chicken house, to keep off the north-west i winds, a pig house, and high gate, to keep off the east and north-east winds, and a wall on the south, four or five ghigh, with a rail fence on top, shelter for the cattle to keep dry, a fountain of running water, a lump of rock salt, and a supply of phosphatic matter in a vessel, (both salt and burned bones under the overshot,) and the yard well covered all ' over, with leaves, straw or any vegetable mat- j ter lit for manure, or even good alluvial earth, • to absorb the excrements which the cattle drop,; and plenty ot straw, Ac., for the cattle to pick at during the day, an excellent outside arrange- j ment, both for the cattle's comfort and the in- j crease of the dung heap. I also find cornfodder well cut and crushed m'xed with some meal or bran, aud scalded in a large trough, fed to dairy cattle, with a change of hay and roots once or twice a week, the cattle well bedded, and curried well once a day, kopt clean like a horse, will secure a good flow of milk and an excellent quality of butter It is impossible, that cattle carelessly fed on j dry fodder only, and badly attended to, will ! pay for their keeping ; both the dairy product and the manure arc of an inferior quality, and in small quantity. Cattle will take care of j their keeper in proportion as he takes rare of i them. J. S. KELLER, I Oricigsburg, Feb. 9th, 1857. INDIAN MUFFINS. —Pour boiling water into a quart of corn meal, stir it well, let it be a thick batter : when it has cooled a little, add to it a table spoonful of yeast, two eggs well beaten, a teaspoonful of salt; set it in a warm place to rise for two hours, then butter some square tins, two thirds fill theiu, and bake in a quick oven ; when done, serve hot or cut in squares, or bake as wheat muffins. BAKED INDIAN PUDDING. —Cut up a quarter of a pound of butter in a pint of molasses, and warm theui together till the butter is melted. Boil a quart of milk ; and while scalding hot, pour it slowly over a pint of sifted Indian meal, and stir in the molasses and butter.— Cover it, and let it steep an hour. Then take off the cover, and set the mixture to cool.— When it is cold, beat six eggs, and stir theiu into it ; add a teaspoonful of mixed cinnamon and nutmeg ; and the grated peel of a lemou. Stir the whole very hard ; put it into a butter ed dish aud bake it two hours. Serve in up hot, and eat it with sauce, or with butter aud molasses. DRAIN* TII.F..—In using tile for draining, the water finds its way into the joints where the tile come together; they are usually covered with a strap of tin or flat stone, but the water finds its way freely. It also passes through the pores of the tile, but that does not cause them to fall to pieces unless frost finds them. —New England Farmer, March 14. TAKE CP AND REPLANT. —AII perenial flower lug plants, roses, Ac., flower much more freely and perfect, if they are taken up, their roots and tops pruned in, the ground thoroughly dug, then re-planted, say once in two or three years. reform the world, begin first with yoiirm?lf, then with your neighbor. flliscellaneons.
