Errors to be Avoided.
How many farmers are to be found who can
plead " not guilty" in reference to some one or
more of the following errors to which the
Country Gentleman calls attention :
1. Allowiug weeds, such as thistles, docks,
stramonium, poison, hemlock, etc., to grow
along the highway.
2. Allowiug elders, burdocks aud nettles to
grow along fences, aod Cauada thistles, fox
tail, pig weed, rag weed, etc., to grow amoug
and sometimes eclipse crops.
3. To plow, harrow, and seed or plant, land
TO wet that year after year it yields scarcely
enough to pay tillage.
4-. To aliow boards to become knocked off
board fences, and clapboards from barns ; and
the hinges of gate 3 to become so deranged that
they must be laboriously dragged over the
ground iu opening and shutting, quickly wear
ing them out.
6. To pile manure against the side of the
barn until it rots and mires the cattle, iostead
of spreading it for crops, and leaving a neat,
ciean yard.
6. To admit pigs to door-yards to root up
the grass, and help themselves to swill at the
kitchen door.
1. To throw kitchen slops into a puddle at
tho back door.
8. To build barns on the public road, thus
making a barn yard of the highway.
9. To scatter implements, such as plows,
-harrows, rollers, etc., about the barn-yard or
along the sides of ihe road, exposed to all
"sorts of weather.
10. To throw rubbish, brush, etc, into the
public road, to the offence of every traveler
who has any appreciation of decency, instead
of destroying or couvertiug these materials iu
to manure.
* 11. - Badly built board fences, half lifted by
'frost out of the ground, and leaning half over
—occasioned by a shallow and careless setting
of the posts, and by not draining the holes.
, 12. Cotnflelds with a dense undergrowth of
weeds, and potatos with a dense overgrowth
of the same.
13. Hedges and trees planted and allowed
to grow up with grass, and consequently nev
er being good for anything— iasteud of giving
them good and broad cultivation.
14. Allowiug cows and other animals to
mn in the streets, to pilfer from neighbors, and
dry tip by being frequently lost at milking
■ time.
LIME ON RYF. AND WHEAT —A correspon
dent asks us, " Why a field put down first to
"Wheat and then to clover, and limed, is gener- i
ally successful ; while with first rye and theu j
clover, nod limed, it frequently fails ?"
It is well known that, while wheat may flour
ish on limestone soils, rye is more frequently
refused j still, on the application of progressed j
.lime, such as that produced by the burning of;
shells, the rye crop is more likely to succeed i
than wbeu limed with ordinary limestone of
its immediate district. Rye always succeeds i
well the second year alter liming, showing that j
salts of lime, rather than lime alone, are its i
requisites. When sufficient time has elapsed
after the application of a coating of lime for j
all the combinations to occur wah the lime :
with other constituents, so as to form a series
of salts, the rye is more benefitted, while the (
wheat contains so large a proportion of lime in
the composition of its ash, that it is enabled to I
appropriate it more directly and in a more j
primitive shape. The stubbie of wheat is a
better preparative for clover than that of rye,
large portions of sulphur and its compounds j
beiog found in the stubble of wheat, and such
.compounds beiug more friendly to growth of
clover.
B©* Wheu wounds in the bark of fruit trees !
occur, the ragged portions of the baik around .
the edge of the wound should be cleanly and
regularly cut, when the edges of the exposed !
portiou of wood may be coated with a cover
ing of Canada balsom. This will protect the
bark from the oxdizing influences of the at- 1
mosphere, and at the same time permit the
new growth to occur about the edges, so as
40 prevent further stripping of the bark. Some
cultivators prefer the use of one ounce of gum
shellac, dissolved iu one quart of alcohol at
9i> per cent strength. No larger portion of
bheliae should ever be used, as a thick coat
ing i3„surc to crack and peel off instead of re
uiaining firm to the surface. A thin varuish I
of shellac may also be used on the ends of
branches when freshly trimmed. The alcohol
evaporates immediately, leaviug a thin coating I
of shellac, which becomes dry and firmly at- !
tached to the wood before atTy exudation of
tap can occur.
FARMER'S ECONOMY-.— Some farmers talk a
great deal about economy. I know one who
will go three miles out of his way, over a bad
road, to save a few cents at the toil gate. An- !
Other, who is so economical of blacksmith's ex
penses, that instead of getting a tire set at the
right time, will make it do a weak or two long
er, and some dark Dight may be found groping
his way home with three wneels and a rail to
bis wagon, while a horse or two are unable to
leave the stable on account of lameness, re
sulting from a misunderstanding of the word
to the shoeing of horses.
.Many a man is so economical in matter of
boards for barns, stables and sheds, that he
builds, them every year of corn or hay. These
may be considered strange building material,
but what I state is true. II an animal is ex
posed to the storms and colds of winter, it will
take one-half of the food it consumes to keep
it as warm as it would Datuarally in a good
comfortable stable ; the other half will just
keep it along. So the half of the grain and
bay is used for making a stable—expensive
building materials, but this is the economy,
bowever, that I would not recommeud, nor
that which will pay heavy war expeuses.—Ru
ral New Yorker.
AMERICAN PLOWS. —A correspondent of the
London Mark Lane Express says: " The
Americans have driven our plow makers out
Australian,lndian and coloneal markets, owing
to their lighter and cheaper articles. Unless
oar makers bestir themselves here, by using
steel instead of heavy castings, they will be
likely to be "beaten on their own ground."
B©*The Minnesota Farmer and Gardner
says: -The peaches grown about St. Paul are
&11 protected in the winter by triming the
branches near the ground and eoveriug them
in the fall, tba same as we do here half hardy
grapes, raspberries, Ac. It is the best possible
way to preserve them from the severities ot the
frost.

CAUTION.
"To ho. or not to be— hat is the question !
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition,
Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink,
And opposing, end them."
THE proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in adver
tising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling
about a "sort of a concern," which is hoping "to delude
the public." As I have opened a Bindery on my own ac
count, the inference is that if the public bring their
binding to me, they are in no danger of being defrauded.
For two years I have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and be
has taken great pains t a itisfy the public 1 was the " best
Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus wil
testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pub
lie?" If I have been engaged in a fraud, he has been th
principal. But I refer to my work during that time a
evidence that there has been no fraud practiced.
Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery
business. 1 have resumed business here on'my own ac
count, as 1 know of nothing which prevents nie from fol
lowing a legitimate and bawfui calling lor my suppo#.—
T shall endeavor by good work and attention to niy busi
nessto give public satisfaction.
