j; HINTS ABOUT WORK- ! \ Following the natural order of things, ! farmers generally plan to have the increase of their Hocks and herds take place chiefly 1 in the spring time, and the careful herds- ' uian gives especial attention to animals heavy with young. Brood Mares that will foal this spring, if 1 worked, should be driven with caution, 1 never overheated, nor put to their speed, \ nor given drink when hot, nor lack water 1 when thirsty. Light work will not hurt j them, even before the plow and harrow. If not worked, give them good room. It is I equally important that Milch Cows, soon to calve, should not be 1 too much confiued in stables. Lxposure to tin- weather when it is not wet, in dry ' yards and lawns where they can take some ' exercise, but not where they will be sub- ' ject to the annoyance of quarrelsome cattle,: : will be of essential benefit to them. If their ' stables are kept scrupulously clean and sweet, and they have good feed of hay and ' some roots, they will pass this critical per iod successfully. Cows very their ; ' time, may be recognized by their distend j udder, and such should be placed every night in well littered box stalls. Should 1 the bag become hard, tender, and feverish 1 before calving, it is sometimes necessary to draw the milk, and rub and wash the bag with warm suds, and perhaps with diluted tincture of arnica. Use the same j treatment after calving if necessary. It is ;' often desirable to milk young cows for, some weeks or mouths after calving, three , times a day (once in about 8 hours), so j that the tendency to milk secretion shall be j increased in every way ; for the same reas ou give succulent food, mashes of oil-cake j and bran, and plenty to drink. Steaming j the fodder is also well. Calves.— When calves are to be brought up by hand, which is the economical way, we are decidedly of the opinion that it is the most humane practice to remove the young animal from the dam at once ; the ; more the cow has to do with it, the harder will the parting. When provision has been made tor having enough roots for new milch cows to take the place of grass, it is very desireable to have the calves dropped early. As veal, they are mvch more valu able, and if they are to be raised, they are able to take care of themselves in the pas ture much earlier, and require little care when other farm labors are pressing. Sheep and Lambs. —lt is on the whole sel dom desirable to have sheep yean very early. Yet early lambs of the mutton breeds meet with a quick market and high prices at green-peas time, and when such | flocks have first-rate care, it is not un common that the male lambs pay alii the expenses of the flock, leaving the wool and the ewe lambs clear profit. Mutton sheep should have their daily feed of grains and roots increased. Ewes that will soon yean, ought to be separated from the flock, and given dry comfortable quarters, and an ex- j tra allowance of roots, peas or beans. Work ing Oxen and Steers that have not | been much used this winter, must be grad ually accustomed to hard labor. There ; will be light work enough that may be distributed among them, to get their necks toughened ard the muscles and wind strengthened before the hard labor of plow ing and harrowing comes on. Oxen scarce ly iess than Horses, and indeed all animals shedding their coats, should be thoroughly and care-, fully curried and brushed ; it greatly pro motes health and good looks, and makes the feed go further. Work horses should be exercised daily by doing some work. There is wood to saw, straw to cut, clover ; seed to clean, or there may be other ma- ; chine work to do. Such work ought to be kept along for the good of the teams, and not dashed off at one grand "spurt," crowd ing the teams and wearying them in their present condition, fitly denominated "soft." Painting may be done in dry weather to excellent advantage, because there is little or no dust flying, the sun cracks are not gapping open as in summer ; they will be covered more smoothly, and there is less liab'lity of the heat of the sun blistering, the half-dry paint ; surfaces to be painted I must be thoroughly dry, however, or paint will be apt to peel. Repairing.—lu the lull of other work, j which a cold SDap, or rain may occasion, the time may well be employed in making ; alterations or repairs in the barns and out j buildings, or in preparing to do so when the cattle are at pasture, and the mows and bay are clear of fodder. Manure may be hauled with much less j labor to both men and beasts, on runners than on wheels. So it will often pay well, though a little of the value of the manure may be lost, to haul out that destined for the most distant fields, where it is to be plowed in as soon as the frost is out. We do nut believe in top dressing with animal manures in the spring. Plaster, ashes and bone may be applied very well, but even these are better put on in the autumn. Leave the manure in compact heaps, spread it when the frost is coming out of the ground, but not where it is wet, or springy, j <>r liable to wah away. The present is a good time to prepare. Compost Heaps for corn, etc.—Use muck, | if you have it, with any good yard manure, j mingling with it any manures you can find, as the waste of factories, breweries, chan dleries, etc. The lime and similar alkaline j wastes should not be mixed with animal manures, or with others containing nitro- I gen, unless great quantities of muck <>r soil 1 are used. Field Work. —There is work enough in j the meadows and pastures at this season when the ground is loosened by the frost ; | stones ma}* be raised, picked up and hauled > off, or thrown in heaps ; fences righted up, j and the posts reset or renewed. Furrows 1 should be plowed to draw oft" surface wa- j ter, and water furrows in grain fields opened anew. Wherever Die Wash of the Highways can be turned j upon the meadows and pastures it should i be secured, and when the current is not very strong, or may be easily spread, it is very valuable on any laud. This is especi- ' ally true of snow water. Delays often happen which cannot be guarded against, but these are few com pared with those which come from our own ignorance, indolence, or misjudgment. I When the land is fit to pluw, then is the time ; before that, there a thousand and one things to be done, and which may just as well be done before, and a great deal \ better. ORCHARD AND NURSERY. —As soon as the, frost will allow, the nurseryman takes up his young trees and heels them in ready to fill oiders. Buyers are apt to judge of the tree bv the top, and more is the pity. A ! small clump of roots is readily taken up, is easily packed, and to the majority of peo-: pie answer as well as a large mass of mu-, tilated roots. A moderate shortening of the roots would not be of so much conse quence, if the purchaser would only cut I back ihe top to correspond. Most of the I buds will produce leaves ; every leaf in-1 creases the evaporating surface, and if this is out of proportion to the absorbing surface of the roots, the consequence is that each bud shows a sickly tuft of leaves, makes no growth, and if the tree does n >t die outright, it might as well, for it will be a long time in recovering. The moral of all this is, Prune at Planting, not only to keep mat ters square between root and leaf, but a.so to shape the tree Get all the roots that the nurserymen can be induced to give, trim all that have been served, with a smooth cup sloping from below upwards,then shor ten at least half of last year's growth. — Do not look upon a young tree for what't is, but what it will be when the buds have grown to limbs. The last bud left on the limb will become the leader, and it should point outward, or to the right or left, as is needed to shape the tree, but seldom, or never, inward. If necessary to cut two or three buds below the one preferred, in order find to one that poiuts in the right direction, do it. Cut near to, but not too close to the bud, and never leave a stub above the bud, to decay Also cut out all useless brandies,and those which will cross, j Have everything in readiness to set out: trees as soon as they arrive. As soon as the ground is settled and can be worked, s.t out Cutting of currant, goosberry, quince, etc. Crowd the earth well around the base of the cuttings. Where rabbits and mice are plenty, there will frequently be Girdled Trees, which a little timely care will save. If the inner bark is not entire- j ly destroyed, put on a generous plaster of cow duug and clay, and bind it there with old clothes ; but if the girdling is comple-1 tely made through to the wood, then small j twigs of the same kind, may be used to i bridge over the space. The twigs are to | be somewhat longer than the girdled band, i whittled to a thin chamber at each end,and j inserted under the bark both above and be- i low the wound, in a cut made as for bud ding. As many may be inserted as can be without too much injury to the back. Tie securely, put on grafting wax or clay, and shorten the limbs. It is at the North too early to do Grafting, but cions, may be cut as here tofore directed, and grafting wax or clay made ready. If the eggs of the tent cat terpiller have not been attended to, read what was said in January under Insects, and see how many rascals can be nipped in the bud, or egg, which is practi : cally the same. The Irunks of old orchard trees may be treated to soft soap wash as suggested in February. Home-made soap is better than "boughtcn," and ley or a solution of 1 lb, of potash to 4 gallons of water may be used instead. In these warm days of March the moths which are the parents of the Canker Worm ascend the trunks. What ever protection is used, its value depends upon being well applied, and carefully looked after. If there is any space be tween the protection and the tree, the in sects will find it and pass through. If tar be used, it must be kept fresh and sticky. If troughs containing oil, see that neith er dust, straws, nor dead insects form a , bridge to travel over. The protector of Mr. 1). Lyman is simple and readily con structed ; it was figured in December last. Stocks budded last fall, may be cut to within 3 inches of the bud, provided that appears to be alive. FRI'IT GARDEN. —To those who propose to set a portion of ground apart for a fruit garden, we say, if the land is not properly prepared, but wait until autumn before planting small fruits, and devote the seas on to fitting it fur their reception. Drain age is usually needed. Deep working and manuring can both be accomplished by growing some highly manured hoed crop, j Sweet potatoes require a treatment that will leave the land in excellent condition. Autumn planting is for many things prefer able. One of the first things needing at tention is the Grape Vines, which in the autumn prun ing had an extra bud left ; these buds may now be cut away. Plant new vines as ear ly as the soil is fit, and whatever style of pruning may be adopted, allow only one cane to grow from a young viue the first j year. When the season is sufficiently ad ! vanced, uncover the vines that have been protected by a coating of earth, by lifting them with a fork. Grape Cutting of those varieties that will root readily in the open ground, are to be put out as soon as the soil has settled.- Make a trench with the spade, deep enough | for the cuttings, set them 4 inches apart, press the earth firmly about their lower ends, and fill up the trench so that the up per bud of the cutting will be just ai the | surface, or but slightly covered. Cuttingf of Currants and Goosberries are treated the same ; the bushes may sfill be pruned, and : cuttings used. Blackberries and Raspberries should be 1 taken up early, as the young shoots are easily destroyed when they have made much growth. Prepare beds for Strauberris,e using old manure, and be ready to set them as soon as plants can be had. Dwarf Pears and Apjtles are the largest trees" allowable in the fruit garden proper, ( and these should be kept as compact bush |es or pyramids. To get trees perfect in form, they must be taken only a year from the bud, or graft and they can then be kept perfectly under control. See article on this subject with illustrat en in January 18fio CHEMICAL EFFECTS OK UXDER DRAINAGE.—A ; paper on Drainage, by the well-known ag ricultural engineer, Mr. J. Bailey Denton, has a forcible paragraph on the results of this process, worth remembering : "Every one must have observed how our cultivated plants, our crops and trees, dis like stagnant water ; and how their roots | travel along its surface underground, di rectly they reach it. The existence of stag nant water implies the absence of air,which is as essential to the development of vege table growth in the soil as it is to our ex istence above the surface, and therefore we can readily understand how essential it is to render the depth of the soil which our plants require for their perfect development, percolative or permeable, free or activ?.-- 1 This ie not ouly required because roots will not penetrate a bed of stagnant water,and will prosper in a deeper feeding ground, but because there are in soils organic and inorganic ingredients which require alteia tions only to be effected by the abcorption of gases from the atmosphere. By drain age you not only afford to plants the deep j er bed to sustain them, at the rate of 100 tons per acre for every inch of depth gain ed, but you correct the influence of inju i rious constituents of the soil ; and,what is more,you carry into the deepened bed those fertilizing ingredients which are constant ly asseciated with fresh air and moving water."
