Hints about Work Working Stock. —All kinds of stock ought to come through the winter in good condition, but animals that are to be put to hard work should come out in a little better order than they went in. Every ton of hay sold is money out of pocket it it prevents this result. Oxen.— lt may b; a very pleasant thing for a man whose cattle have lost 10ii or '2OO pounds of flesh the past winter, to say that "they are just in good working order."— j 4 But if cattle or horses are running down in flesh, they are in just the worst condition for being put to hard work. They must be well fed now at any rate, and thoroughly groomed. Give a pair of cattle a peek ot corn meal daily upon hay or cornstalks, cut up and soaked 8 to 12 hours, with all the ; good hay they will eat. Allow them a long nooning!water regularly three times a day : see that the yokes do not pinch or gall ! them, and if they do, or their necks are ten- j dcr, first wash and then lay or bind iolded cloths, wet with cold water, upon the spots lor an hour or two after work. -The same treatment is good for galls upon Horses. —Those that have not been much t-xposed during the winter should be blank eted when out of the stable, kept out of j draughts, and rubbed down well if wet, j with even greater care titan is used at any j uthe* - season. While the animal is renew-: ing his coat he is particularly sensitive to ; changes of weather, and liable to take euld. ; Feed liberally and groont well, and this rather critical period will pass quickly. Horses turned into the fields for exercise, j enjoy it so thoroughly that it is a great temptation to turn several loose together. ; Do not do it. They often strike or kick one another upon the head so as to produce j swellings, diseases of the bone, or other permanent deformity. Colts.-<*-\f dropped thus early, may be left chiefly to the care of the mares, kept clean, ; early accustomed to wearing a halter head stall. and taught to lead so that at a few weeks old they may IK* led by the sides of their dams on the road or at the plow. Cows and Catres. —Cows that have had to rough it" if fed a little corn .f corn if you please, (which some of our friends consider a specific against slinking i, and the calves will come along in good condition, and the flow of milk will be abundant. 11 there are signs >f caking or feverishness in the bag, ha'.lie with warm soap suds, and afterwards wash with dilute tincture of arnica. Jit> ccs intended for grazing, should be kept constantly on the gain by feeding corn meal or oil meal upon cut straw, wet up. .Shee\> need dry, well littered sheds and > yards, with a feed of roots daily, if possi ble. Boughs of hemlock <>r pine thrown to litem two or three times a week, promote the health of tie* flock. Yeaning ewes should have close, well ventilated sheds,lit tered with straw cut s inches long, and tags of wool should be clipped off around their teats, so that there will be no difficul ty in the lambs finding them. .Should the lambs become chilled, bring them into the Uitcln-n, near a good fire : if badly oil', give warm baths, rub them dry, wrap them in blankets, and feed fresh ewe's milk, warm ed. A few spoonfulls i f miid milk punch -ay one tablespoonful of proof spirits in a teacup of milk, sw etencdi will nl'ten n \ ive them at once. Siriiir. — Jiaw to *is ted daily before (al lowing. is one "f the surest preventives of constipation, and consequently of that de praved stale of the stomach and bowels which leads a sow to eat her own young. I.ook out early for a good stock of pigs, or stoii hogs for manure makers. The mar kets are dull now on account "I Die hog panic about the trichina disease. Poultry. —Whoever will give propel can* i'i early chickens, may set tic* hens as ear ly as the first of April lvirly chickens u< particularly useful as insect killers, for ihe first insects are the parents of future swarms. Give seldom more than 13 eggs. Select those of perfect form, of medium or not extra large size, and strong shells - Mark each egg with a lead pencil, and on several put tin* date at which they an put under the hen. Let hens la}' in movable boxes, so that when they begin to set they may be removed away from tin laying liens I'et d regularly, and keep water al ways before them. Feed may always he kept before sitting In ns if rats are not troublesome. Turkey* should be confined and made to lay at home in a low box or basket, where they can be controlled, so that when limit young hatch they may !>. kept in doors for a week or t<*n day s, as tin y are very apt to die it they get wet. Set Duel's eggs undci hens. Geese take care of themselves,but should not b< forced to go far for food while sitting. Birds. —Wren and Bluebird houses should be put up early, but those for the diffe ent birds kept apart, they quarrel Robins though they are great thieves, may be at tracted. if it is desirable, by making it basis for a nest in the crotch of a tree, and putting' a board a few inches above it for protection I'rcuarc tor only one robins' nest in one part of the grounds. The quar rels ot robins, too, are annoying, and occu py their time which should b< spent in kil ling insects, t'at-birds can't be coaxed by nesting pluses, but will previousely find their own in hedges, etc Let them se verely alone, and and one will ha\> no bet ter friends. Field work. — The farmer should begin each day with a clear notion of about what, and how much each man and team will do if it remains clear, or if rain comes. He must be ids own .judge of when rain is se vere enough to stop work, and when men and teams will receive no harm. In Hauling out manure, it is best to spread and plow it under immediately, though a day or two of fair weather will not injure it. Rain, however, washes it, and the* crop will show whcre#the heaps stood. There is danger, too, that rain may render the soil for several days unfit for Plowing, which should only be done when the ground will crumble,.and after the wat er is so much out of it that the furrow sli ces will not dry and bake into hard clods. In breaking up grass land turn an abso lutely flat furrow. Increase tin depth of the soil just as fast as it is safe to do so when plowing for all hoed crops and on dry or well drained land, the sulis >i! plow will be found ti pay well. Get in Spring grain ot all kinds as earlv as the ground can be well worked. Flax should be sowed in very well pre pared soil, as soon as it is thoronelilv warm. Carrols and Parsnipis uiay be sown as soon as the ground is thoroughly worked and warm. Barely cover the seed and thev ! wiH come up much sooner than otherwise and are then out of danger. So far as our ' experience goes, mild frosts do not hurt j parsnips : they germinate very slowly,and so if wet weather comes, (and such is al-; most sure to conn* in May,) the seed rots. We prefer sowing quite early if the laud is ! dry and warm. Put carrots on lighter soil than parsnips, if yon can choose, and for ! both crops work the land deeply and thor oughly, and manure it well. Potatoes. —Plow deep. Manure with a good compost, and with leached ashes in the drill, or use any manure not in a cond:- i tion of rottenness. Plant early and 4or 5 inches deep, using large seed cut in quar ters. Plant no small potatoes of any kind, but if you wish to make the seed go as far i as possible, cut to single eyes, plant not quite so deep, and give better care. Pastures. —Keep every hoof, large or ! small, off them : pick off the stones, cut i the brush, clear up the fence rows, reset ' the fences if necessary, and sow grass seed, ashes and plaster on thin spots. Treat in j the same way the i Mowing lands, conducting upon them the road wash. Apply any saline manure at hand, as ashes, plaster, of ammo nia, crude saltpeter, guano, either in fine j composts or sowed on, or if soluble, by the liquid manure distributer. FRUIT GARPKN. —Planting of all kinds should le done as early as the ground can , I be worked, or the plants procured. Dwarf Trees are the only ones admissi j ble in the fruit garden, and these can be | kept as small and compact as is desired,by root pruning, or if space will allow, they I may develope into medium sized trees. — j One great trouble, especially upon pears, is Inserts on the Burt. —The scale and woolly i Aphis if not cheeked in time, will often completely cover the bark. The first is a ; little brown scale, shaped somewhat like a j miniature oyster shell, and tlft* other is a j little louse,with a copious covering of white wool which makes him quite conspicuous. ■ Soft soap, made sufficiently thin, and ap plied all over the limbs with a s.itf brush, rubbing moderately hard the while, will usually do for Diem. A friend of ours is using petroleum for the purpose, but we await the results b 'fore recommending it. Fig. -A few trees are worth growing as curiosities, if nothing more. In a shelter ed situation with proper care, they will usually bear fruit. Almonds are also interesting, and it is well i" have a tree for the novelty ot the thing. They will flourish wherever the ' peach will. Nothing makes a finer show than a Quince Tree, ladened with its golden fruit, and it is also handsome when in flow er. The Currant is, so to speak, one of the most flexible of fruits. Neglect will bring small fruit from large varieties, and prun ing and manuring will induce the small sorts to swell to a respectable size with gratitude for attendance. The moral of which is, manure the currant bushes Cfoosfnfries should not be overlooked. The Houghton and American Seedling are ' better than no gooslierries. We do not see why Bowing's Seedling i.- so generally overlooked. It is a much better fruit than either of the others. Why don't some one get up a goosborry a< hardy as the Hough to and as good as the Whitesmit ? Beets Sow the early sorts in a rich light and finely worked soil, in rows Id inches apart. Soak the seed in waim wat r for 24 hours, turn the water off and keep the dish covered in a warm place until the sprouts show themselves, then roll the seed in plaster and sow. An ounce of seed will be enough for about a hundred feet of drill. Carrot. —fur early crop sow in a warm place, the Early Horn The Early* Forcing is small, but very early. Soak the seed for 24 hems in warm water, dry oil' with plas ter. and sow as directed for beets. Strawberry Culture. Rev. Mr. Knox, of l'ittsburg, I'a , proba bly the most successful strawberry eultur ist in this country, say s ; "The soil I prefer, is a clay on limestone subsoil ; a light clay ; this is the soil I have, and the finest strawberries I have seen win* from soils of this character. In its preparation I change according to the variety 1 plant, and the time 1 expect the plantation to last. Some varieties have io be removed to qiiontly. I don't stir the soil so deeply Some of my best strawberries had only plowing from eiglr to ten inches in depth. If I want a tied to last long 1 stir the soil from liftei nto twenty inches, and if necessary drain it. fin* .- iii is stir rod with a common plow for two horses, and then a Mape's subsoil plow drawn by two yoke of oxen In planting 1 make rows two and a half feet apart,and set the plants t< n inches apart in the lows. I have made some changes which i think valuable, if 1 plant strawberries alone, I plant three rows eighteen inches apart, the three rows take three feet ot ground : 1 then have a hill bet een tin paths, two feet, to give room to cultivate and gather ( planted four acres ol (,'oneord draper, in i. ■,.< < iglit feet apart, between the rows ol grapes put three rows of straw ben ics ; this h ft two ami a halt feet between the grapes and berries, i cultivate these strawberries for plants so as to keep them distinct. My first crop from the ground is plants for sale in slimmer, fall and.spring. The second sea son gives a good crop of berries, and a few grapes. 1 iie thiid year have a good crop ot grapes, and the strawberries will pav for all till the grapes hear. 1 keep down the runners to get the fruit in perfection,of the best quality and largest si/.* I pinch off the runnels to throw til too much from the plant and injur- s the fruit the the next season. 1 never stir the soil after May,and the fibrous roots should not be broken : use the hoe as sparingly as possible, only to chop up the weeds ; they are mostly cul tivated by hand. 1 attach great impor tance to mulch, and 1 think it mulch was more tried in the South they would bo more successful. 1 mulch with straw : prefer rye straw thrashed by the flail. In the fall it protects the plants; prevents them be ing thrown out by the frost. In spring the straw is removed from the crown of tin plant and left off till fall. In reference to marketing—in New York 1 get fifty cents a quart at wholesale. Make a proper selection of varieties,handle caro lully, and bring into market in good condi tion, and there is little danger in overstock ing the market. In regard to the only ob jection raised against my method, (its ex- i peusc,)it is not how much outlay--but will it pay ; and if it pays, the people are ready to adopt it. It 1 invest ?*IOO ou the acre, and cultivate one, and yon S">o and culti vate five acres, and my acre produces more than your five 1 have* so ouch uiore profit. It my money brings om hundred per cent., the more money I invest the better.
