TRIMMING. —Those who have nothing e!s<
to do at this season of the year may trim their
trees and vines. 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.

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

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.
