Grape vines ought to be trimmed soon in ease they were neglected in x ovember. It is generaly supposed that, vines ought not to be cut 04' trimmed when the saj Hows, or when the vines bleed, though some contend that Heeding is not injurious. We advise to trim before the time of tap ping to obtain sap. March is not a good month for trimming grape vines. It the work cannot be done as early as February it will be better to let alone till May, when the leaves will be out and wncn no sap will flow. Apple trees and cherry trees may as well be trimmed now as at any time, pre tided that small limbs only are cut —and in case the trees are trimmed anmialy no large limbs need to be cut. We would not recommend the rul ing of any apple tree limb which was more than one inch in diameter—and none larger than this need to be cut in case of an annual trimming. A line saw with a dnlrow plate is the best too! for trimming—the limb need not be cut very close to the body, for the wound may be too broad to be healed in a single season. When a trimmer lias time enouglraud would be quite nice, lie should have a sharp knife and pare the corners of the wound, win u it will heal sooner than a rough edge made by the saw. Men should not stand on the young limbs • with heavy boots on or shoes with najls in them, for the tender bark will be of more ser vice where it grew than 011 the rough boot. Put on slippers or easy shoes when you have young and thrifty limbs to stand 011 — J hiss. I'h tcman. GROWING POTATOES. —As several of your correspondents have related their manner of tillage, by which they have obtained a good crop of potatoes, I wish to relate my practice, iu which I have succeeded in growing a good 011 light land. New beginners in this section of Virginia, all experience the want of home made fertili zers. My system is rather the result of such want than its acknowledged good husbandry. In the first place, I plough deep and htfrrow, a: d then make the drills by running the plough each way in the same furrow in order to make it as deep as possible, and then draw my ma nure, which consists mostly of refuse cornstalks that have been fed to both cattle and horses, and spread in the furrow—drop the seed po- '■ tatoes and cover The after culture being the ! usual practice of cultivating, ploughing and hoeing. In speaking to iny neighbors of the , system I intended to pursue, they said you will fail as wc have tried the practice of manuring ' in the hill, and although we could grow plenty of stalks, yet iu harvest the potatoes are want-1 ing. After the result of my system of growing! potatoes was ascertained, my neighbors said ! to mo, Your success was all owing to the fine shower we had just Rafter planting, by, which the manure was wet, and being buried deep, it kept moist during the season. Be . this as it may, the result was entirely satisfac tory, both in quantity and quality, for which j I realize over one dollar per bushel. I perceive there is some controversy in the i Cultirator with regard to the best manner of: applying manure, whether in its green or de composed state. The manure mentioned above, at ttic time of harvesting potatoes, was just decomposed. Query—Will it be as advanta geous to the aftercrop as if rotted in the heap ? | — W. ANSLEY, Fairfax C. 11., A"a.— Country Gentleman, March 2t>. TIMEI.Y HINTS — CARE OF VOIR MEADOWS TII IS Si'KINO.— 1. Close them now against cat tle and all kinds of animals. Do not allow ' even your geese to ramble over them. Every young blade of grass cropped off now will di- ' miuish the crop of hay four or five times the j amount of nutriment received bv the stock from tiie grass. This is a kind of profit you can't a (ford to* indulge in. 2. You will probably find portions of your meadows on which the water stands, after a rain. If these arc of any size, dig a little hole in the trench which will drain them into some water-course. This will pay. You may add the tilrf which you remove to make the drain, to your manure heap. It will thus be saved, and will not leave vonr meadow roach. it. Pick up all the stones which the winter frosts have brought to the surface. The scythe or mower should not encounter one stone during the whole season. I)o the same with all sticks, and roots, and chunks, and, as far as possible, with all stumps, too. A clear, even surface is at once a great beauty in a meadow, and a necessary condition of getting the whole crop of hay. 4. (,'ut away all hummocks and ant hills with a good spade, unless you have some more compendious way of removing them. Rolling the meadow, though a good operation, if done so as not to leave the ground " a heavy," will sot always press down these projections ; paring them off is the only sure way The ecouomy of this operation will be plain to you, if you remember how many scythes anil snathes have been broken, and how many mow ers have been blunted or injured by coining against these masses of turf. 5. Scatter manure generously over the high er and poorer ground in your meadow. This will of course pay.— Ohio Farmer, March 21. POTATOES arc more solidly kept in a dark cellar, well covered over, than perhaps any where ck-e. Some prefer putting them in the open lield, where the ground is sonieu ha' ele vated and dry, leaving an opening toward the south, filled in with straw. We cannot say which is the better mode : 1 ut we can that many farmers do not adopt the best mode, judging from the appearance of their potatoes iu April, May and June. Barn cellars—not the cellars of the dwelling—arc the places for storing them when the exposed pit is rejected. Here they will be less disturbed though even should there bo room in the cellars of tli • house. For family use, not more than a bush el at a time should be taken out, and these should be kept covered m a cask. When the bin is disturbed every time a few potatoes are needed in the family, it is frequently left ex posed, to the damage of the tuber. TAKING CARE OK THE BABY Mother ! Mother! here's Zcke fretting the baby!"— Makejiim cry again, Zcke, then mother will give hi IU some sugar, and I'll take it from hira : then he'll squall and mother will give him more, and you can take that, and we'd both have some."
