    GLGRIATTOML
Wliat not to do in April-
It is always a great point gained in far
ming, gardening and stock raising,to know,
of a certainty, what should not be perform
ed at certain seasons of the year, as well
as to understand what must be done. A
short chapter of negatives will doubtless be
as edifying as an article of the same length,
in the usual postive style.
Manure should not be spread over the
surface of the ground, where it is to be
plowed under, until the plowing is actually
commenced ; because, the scorching sun
shine and drying winds will carry away a
large proportion of the most valuable part
of such fertilizing matter, to other parts of
the world,where it will promote the growth
of plants that the proprietor of that manure
never saw.
Ground for Indian corn, sorghum, or a
crop of broom corn, should not be plowed
too early ; because,when broken up a long
time before the seed is put in, grass and
noxious weeds will spring up, and get the
start of the plants to be- cultivated, thus
requiring a vast deal of unnecessary labor.
Defer plowing for such crops as long as
practicable, without being too late to plant.
By delaying the preparation of the soil for
the seed,until the ground has become warm
and mellow, before the seed is put in, we
save all the labor required for one thorough
hoeing of the young plants. This will be
found emphatically true, where there are
Canada tliistles, ox-eye daisies, fox tail,
grass aud other annual and perennial
weeds.
Animals of all kinds should be kept off
meadows, aud not allowed to roam over
pasture fields, until herbage is sufficiently
large for them to obtain a liberal supply of
grass; because, when grass is just start
ing in the Spring, the trampling of numer
ous hoofs will retard the growth of the ten
der grass, more than the teeth of the ani
mals.
Crops of growing grain, or vegetables
should never be grown on the same soil,
during two or more successive seasons ;
because such a system impoverishes the
soil, rendering it less productive.
When trees of any kind, shrubs,or vines,
are dug up to be transplanted, the small
and tender roots should not be exposed for
half an hour to the sun and drying winds,
as the bark is so tender and porous that
their vitality will be destroyed in a short
time. We frequeutly see fruit trees, roots
aud all,exposed for a whole day, often long
er, to the sun, when most of the small roots
become as dead as a dry stick.
Heavy ground should not be plowed
when water stands in the furrows, because
it will be far better for the soil, better for
the growing crops, and more advantageous
to those who cultivate the ground, to defer
plowing even till June,if the surplus water
is not removed by under-draining, with tiles,
stone, or wood. If a person feels unwilling
to incur tne expense of under-draining a
wet field, for want of ready capital, better
hire the necessary funds by mortgaging
the farm, and complete the under-draining
at once, as the increased yield of the first
two crops will more than defray the ex
pense.
Where spring grain has been raised for
several years, and the land has become foul
with dock seed, wild mustard, or charlock,
or any other noxious weeds,discontinue the
old system of management, aud, instead of
raising* a crop of barley, oats, rye,or spring
wheat, thus affording the weads farther op
portunity to increase, manure the soil, and
plow and harrow it several times and sow
peas or buckwheat, about the first of July.
Do not permit any animal on the farm to
grow poor. Stock of all kinds need grain,
or meal, during the present mouth, more
than they did during the cold months of
winter. Cows that come in, April, will be
come very thin in flesh if they do not re
ceive an extra allowance of nutritious feed.
Every pound of flesh and fat that a milch
cow loses in April, will be equal to the ac
tual loss of so many pounds of butter next
summer.
Do not kill the calves because the milk
they require will be worth more than they,
when they are two months old. Every
cow is the better for having reared a line
calf annually,as she will be more profitable
to her owner than when her calf is not per
mitted to suck. For the benefit of Ameri
can agriculture, farmers ought to raise
more neat cattle.
Do not allow turkeys and gallinaceous
fowls to roam over grain fields and mead
ows, as they do great injury by breaking
down the growing plants which are only a
few inches high.
In those localities where animals may he
turned to pasture during the last of this
month, let the change from dry feed to
grass he made with care, and gradually,
to avoid the injurious effects of scours.
Growing Corn-
Each locality has its own method of grow
ing com. The prairies have theirs as dis
tinguished from the East.
A few principles which the Hast has de
monstrated and established are these :
llant three and a halt to four feet apart,
both ways, according to size of corn.
Do not scatter, but plant close in the
hill.
Drop from four to five kernels in a hill.
Thin out to three or four plants.
Never hoe or hill corn. Only work out
the grass and weeds, and stir the soil.
1 low in the Spring, when dry enough,
and plow sod, always, if possible.
/W hen the corn is planted, drop a hand
full of dry hen-manure upon each hill.
And now for the reasons for doing all
this : Sod turned down will form a rich bed
tor the corn when the heats of midsummer
arrive. By that time it will he manure, or
working into manure, heating and enrich
ing the ground.
Ihe fertilizing dust (hen manure) will
give the corn a start, which it needs on the
raw undersoil of the sod turned tip. Besides,
♦ it will drive away insects. The sod below,
also, will occupy the insects.
Corn close together will grow spindling
and tall, hut will have few and small oars.
A huge crop of corn was never known from
two and a half feet between hills ; and noth
ing beyond a moderate crop from three feet
Three and a half is the least that corn should
be planted, and then the smaller kinds—
houi leot in the rule for large corn. Then
four to five stalks can he left in a hill. For,
remember that the more and the larger cars
will grow if there is plenty of space, not
between the stalks, but the hill. East'sum
mer we had occasion to tell a man (our
neighbor Champion) that he would get a
t good crop of fodder but no corn. lie laugh
ed us in the face ; he was going to show
us the biggest crop of corn we had ever
seen He had a piece of carrot ground,
deep, black and rich. It was unsurpassed ;
am raised great crops of roots every year.
And now he was going to outdo everything
in corn, lie planted with the rows two feet
ajmr, and tue lulls fifteen inches. He had
the tallest thickest standing corn we ever
huw, hut all lowicr, no eara
In haying the stalks close in the bill there
wi 'be just as much com and j UBt as m(jch
fodder Besides,it will work better between
tlTe hills and closer up to them They will
thus unite, aid each other in withstanding
the winds,and there will be no grass to pick
out between—a great consideration. I'ile
together, then when you plant.
If your soil is poor, manure liberally.—
Draw it on the sod and plow uuder,and ma
nure well as far as you go. Never put
poor soil in corn without manure—it will
not pay. And never fear your soil will be
too rich—lt cannot be too rich for corn.
How I Plow.
Suppose the field to be fifty by thirty-two
rods—and plow land should never be in
smaller than two-acre fields—l plow it by
commencing in the middle with a furrow
eighteen rods long,and parallel to the long
est sides, the ends of the furrow being at
equal distances from the shortest sides.—
Then back furrow or turn around to the
right, making the first two furrows two
inches shallower than the others, to avoid
a ridge. After four furrows, plow across
the ends, and the work is laid out. If the
land is uneven,or the soil not uniform,some
care is necessary to keep the furrow straight
and bring the work out alike on all sides.
The advantages of this method are that the
team and plowman turn on the unplowed
land, saving time and strength,and leaving
no land trodden after it is plowed. It also
does away with the necessity of furrows
and ridges, which are a serious detriment
to the use of machines.
In the place of a coulter I use a jointer,
or miniature plane, which cuts two inches
deep, or more or less, as desired, and puts
the stubble or sward completely out of
sight, faciliating its decay. The little join
ter furrow, under the main furrow, tends to
brace it up and keep the ground more loose,
while it leaves the surface in a condition
requiring much less tillage than ordinary
plowing to fit it for a crop.
But the -mprovement that pleases us most
is the patent sub-soil attachment. It loos
ens the ground in the bottom of the furrow
to any depth desired, if the character of the
soil and the strength of the team permit.—
This accomplishes all the sub-soil plow does
with a great saving of expense. It is sub
soiling made easy or at least easier.
I do most of my plowing with three hor
ses abreast. It is claimed, and 1 think truly
that three horses in this way are equal to
four where the team is hitched ahead ofone
another, which requires an extra hand for
driver. Many plows are now made with a
movable beam, by which the width of the
furrow is guaged instead of by the clevis,
thus securing as nice working of the plow
with three horses as with two, and requir
ing no extra labor on the part of the plow
man. For my own comfort I would rather
plow two and three-fourth acres with three
horses, than two acres with two-thirds the
strength of team. It is much less tiresome
plowing when the team moves off easily
and with comparatively little strain, than
when they must pull hard at every step.
The use of the sub-soiler is an experiment,
and when the result is manifest in another
year's crop. I will make it known.—L. S., in
Working Farmer.
Old Orchards-
If there is anything that calls forth an
anathema on its owner, it is an old orchard
going to decay, and no young trees to sup
lpy the places of those about to be consign
ed to oblivion. Here in Onedia county we
see scores of such orchards, that were
planted 50 years ago, and now show unmis
takable signs of soon passing to that porno
logical bourne, whence no fruit trees ever
returns.
The owners of such orchards generally
profess to be men of ordinary common
sense ; aud some of them are considered
"sharp" in their dealings, saving every
penny that can be secured on honest prin
ciples ; yet they are so blind to their own
interests, to the interests of their children
—to posterity, as to go down into their
graves, with scarcely a sound apple tree on
their farms ! Such men are not compos men
tis—not of sound mind, or they would not
throw away the opportunity to produce a
young orchard of good grafted fruit, to
come into bearing when the old one should
fail, through age, to produce its golden har
vests.
banner of this class, for what do you
live ? Is it for wealth ? Then why were the
young orchards neglected to be planted, in
these days of choice, high priced fnkt ? Do
yen live for the enjoyment of tin- good
things of this world ? Then how could you
suffer your families to be deprived of an
ample store of Baldwins, Greenings, Hpitz
enburg, &e ? H'e tell you plainly that you
are a lazy,improvident class,and only allow
ed to exist, as tares among wheat.
A good way to set a young orchard is to
plow up the old one, and plant it to pota
toes, and the next spring set young trees
between the old ones, and keep the land
cultivated for several years, till the trees
get a good growth,when the old trees cease
to bear fruit profitably, cut them down as
cumberers of the ground.— Ex.
PRUNING TREES.—It is a pracfice with
many farmers to prune their trees during
the winter, or in early spring months, and
many probably do not stop to consider the
results. A little study of tree philosophy
will show the cutting away of limbs during
the season of repose will give the tree an
excess of growth during the coming season,
because of the less number of buds to be
supplied early in the season, and therefore
their more rapid development and elonga
tion of wood during early summer, or the
growing season.
Trees, therefore, that are wanted to be
kept in a vigorous, growing state,it is well
to prune at this season ; but if bringing
them into hearing is the object sought,then
the pruning should be delayed until July,
when the evaporation is great, and the tree
is formed its increased size of limb, and
storing up food in the hud for mother sea
son. It the water shoots, crossing trunks,
Ac., are taken out, the remaining buds are
supplied with food that would have been
partially absorbed by those branches cut
away ; and, hence, are more perfectly ri
pened and brought to maturity or bearing
condition. Cutting away large branches
should never be done in the winter season,
because the wood so left hardens all next
to the outer bark, and prevents the forma
tion of new layers to cover and shield it,
which, if the cut is made early in July, it
will do, and in a few years present no ap
pearance of a limb having ever been there.
—Cultivator.
IIo\EY LOCUST SEED.— We know that this
plant,properly cut back,makes a good hedge.
It is objected to it that it is naturally a
tree, and sannot be cramped into a hedge
plant .-o is the Osago Orange, and so is
the Hawthorn. It is useless to look for a
plant that will make a hedge of itself.—
Even tlx; Beech may he grown as a hedge,
if properly clipped. The seed of Honey
Locust wdl often grow without preparation
but us seed is bought at the stores it is sa
fest to scald it before sowing. It is best
sown in nursery drills, when the soil is
warm—about the time for planting corn.

cessful practice of 25 years duration, he is familiar with

tal establishments in city or country, and' is better pre
pared than any other Dental operator in the vicinity to
do work the best adapted to the many and different
cases that present themselves oftentimes to the Dentist,
as he understands the art ot making his own artificial
teeth, and lias facilities tor doing the same. To those
requiring under sets of teeth he would call attention to
his new kind of work which consists of porcelain for
both plate and teeth, and forming a continuous gum. It
is more durable, more natnrai in appearance, and much
better adapted to the gum lhan any other kind of work.
Those in need of the same are invited lo call aud exam
