AGRICULTURAL Hints about Work. The Stock. —"Between hay aud grass" is a proverbially hard time for cattle and stock of all kinds. One's calculations are so apt to come out a little short in regard to how much it will take to carry the stock well through the winter, that it is the ex ception rather than the rule that farmers can feed hay, grain aud roots as liberally in the spring months as the needs of their animals demand. Milch cows that have just come in, or that drop their calves du ring this month, before they cau be turned to pasture, need first-rate care and feeding or the flow of milk for the whole season may be essentially diminished. Young cows especially should be fed in away to ; develope as much as possible every milk-! producing quality, for this will influence j their value throughout their lives. The re newal of their coats is a great tax upon the vital force of neat cattle and horses, and at j this season they are more benefitted by reg- j ular and thorough carding than at any oth- j er. When a supply of roots has been kept through till now, feed them out. so that the | transition from dry fodder to grass wiU not j be too sudden and produce scouring. \\ hen | cows are first turned to pastuie, gGe them J a little less than their usual feed morning j and evening, putting them in the pasture a j few hours only in the middle of the day. | They will do much better lor it. Ihe same j is true of beeves, which will fatten rapidly j as warm weather comes on, it gradually , accustomed to grass, their meal and hay being kept up just as usual. Otherwise | thev are apt to scour and tall off consider able. Calves if kept iu warm comfortable j and* clean quarters and fed regularly, will iucrease in weight very fast. All their food should be cooked, even the hay ; at least all the meal shorts or bran which is min gled with the skimmed milk, should be tbor oughly cooked. W hen calves are fattened upon the cow, it is a fact worth remember ing that it is not the cows which give the richest milk, that will bring up the most calves or fatten them the most rapidly. When milk cannot be sold, it is often very economically disposed of by putting two calves to a good cow, and "messing" them twice a day besides. Calves will seldom quarrel, so it is best to allow a week or fortnights difference in their ages. Sheep.—We are strong advocates for shearing sheep unwashed. They may thus be sheared much earlier ; there is little danger of their taking cold ; the coolness of the weather is supposed to influence a more rapid renewing of their covering, and by the time the summer's sun beats down hot and scorching upon their backs, they are sufficiently protected not to be blistered, as sometimes happens in late shorn flocks. All flocks ought to be dipped after shear ing. Unless the ticks of lice are very thick, the dipping should be postponed till war mer weather than we usually have in May. The gradual accustoming of sheep to grass is quite as important as the same treatment for neat cattle. Do not withhold the grain, but keep it up until after the flock is well established upon grass. They should also be turned to grass gradually, two or three hours a day, in addition to their full regu lar feeding of hay, etc. No one should overlook the great value of his stock as ma nure makers. This will in many parts of tiie country make it very remunerative to have the cows all yarded or stabled at night, and the sheep folded. The farmer rarely classifies his' Swine as Beasts of Labor ; yet when the best use is made of them, they do an im mense amount of hard work in the course of the summer in rooting over and mixing the manure and compost heaps, converting weeds, etc., into manure, (lorn scattered over the heap now and then will encourage diligence, and a few handfulls dropped here and there into holes 20 to .'lO inches deep, will secure a great upturning and mixing, which would otherwise have to be done by the fork. Poultry. —All kinds of young poultry should have good care, especially when vet y young One of the best attachments j to a poultry yard is a low shed 8 feet wide, i open to the south, and closed by light lat- j tiee wo. k that will not keep the un out. — j Here young turkeys and chickens may j safely spend a few weeks. The liens being cooped under the sheds. The ground should j of course he dry, and covered with ashes, j and the surface shoveled oft* and the ashes ; renewed frequently. One secret of success j with chickens is, keeping them dry ; this, , in connection with cleanly quarters, seal-; ded or cooked lood and pure water always before them and aiways lresh will secure fine healthy flocks. Grass and Grain Fields may receive top dressirgs of liquid manure md other ferti lizers, <f applied early. Little, however,can : now he done, even upon spring grain, on which timely manuring,and sometimes roll ing after the ground has settled after hard rains, may he of great service. The atten tion ol the farmer must however he chiefly directed to his Hoed Crops. —No hurry or lateness of the season should he allowed to cheat the crops out of well prepared and manured soil.— Sorghum and Broom Corn are cultivated on the same g> ueral principles. Potatoes should be put into the ground as early as possible. Late sorts for the main crop and for winter use should not he planted with rank fermenting manure, it induces a suc culent growth and a predisposition to the blight and rot Leached ashes is excellent manure for potatoes. As a rule,plant three or four inches deep, and harrow thoroughly when the top first appear above ground. This kills a crop of weeds does the potatoes good, and saves work. Sugar Beets and Mangel Wartzeh. —Every good farmer ought to plant some of one or the other of these roots for his tnilch r-tock. Sow when the ground is warm,in deep rich soil in good tilth, putting the drills 24 to 30 inches apart. They may be thinned out during the summer, and afford excelleat green fodder to any kind of stock "kept up." Other root crops, Parsnips, Carrots, may he sowed in the same way,the drills closer, however. Onions. —Old onion raisers v ill have look ed out for good seed long before this.— There is little beside fresh seed in the coun try, hut the demand for this renders it nec cessary to he on one's guard to get good. On rich land, in good tilth and not weedy, the crop is a very profitable one. Sow ear ly in rows about 14 inches apart ; it re quires garden culture,and leaves the ground early for late cabbages, etc. Tohacco ground must he prepared this month, by thorough manuring and plowing, and harrowing, to kill weeds. The seed beds way need watering with guano water, or other liquid manure, to bring forward slow growing plants, ready for transplan ting before the middle of June. There should also he beds prepared in warm shel tered spots fur Cahhagrn. — Sow seed of late sorts for field unburn 'Drumheads, Flat Dutch, etc.) any time this month ; sprinkle beds freely with as! < * to repel insect* P"v and Out' Me re will be many oat* wed th s year <n May, though below lati- I ' If ■' f Id'rtu adv.sable to sow Oa'a a.or.' a?V I MA] Je' /• t.t i, the ground is in fair heart, sow oata with the peas any time before the middle of the mouth in com mon seasons. Sov two bushels of each seed, plowing in the peas lightly and har rowiug in the oats. Peas alone may be sowed as late as the 25th, aud the later crop, though not so large, are free from the attacks of the pea weevil. Implements, etc. —lf not already provided, and you can pay for them, order a mower, horse-rake, and horse-fork immediately. It is very difficult to choose between the lew best mowe s, there is not choice enough to warrant waiting a week. Wooden toothed horse rakes do the best work, aud pick up least dirt, moss and grit. Horse forks are numerous, and most of them good ; in se lecting one regard lightness, strength, du rability, and the ease with which it is trip ped or opened. The self-raking attachment is a very valuable one in reaping machines, and when much grain is cut, it is indispen sable to economical work. In providing good implements for hand labor, do not for get that Handy Tools make work light. Good hoes, light, sharp, and strong, are best, by far, in any but very cloddy, heavy soil, and the same is true of most other tools, rakes, forks, etc. Manure, —Our counsels are often repea ted in regard to manure saving and making. The importance of the subject is our excuse, if we weary any reader. Save and buy dead animals, old horses, etc., skin them, cut them up on a load of muck, covering them well with the same material, or with good soil. Lie iu wait o'nights to add dogs to the heap ; they make excellent manure, and you save your sheep at the same time. Collect bones, paying children 15 to 25 cts. per bushel for gathering. Prepare the privy vault so as to save every thing, mixing it with muck or dry soil, getting it out and working it over once a week. It will not be offensive in the least, if well treated. Buildings, etc. —Painting should be done when the surface is dry, but before the wood is so thoroughly dried that it will rapidly absorb the oil. Paint thus applied after moist weather, holds better and forms a much better surface than iu a dry season. Level the sills of out-buildings, if thrown up by the frost. Clean out chimneys by bur ning or brushiug during wet weather before the dry season. ORCHARD AND NURSERY.— Planting is gen erally well over by this time, but if any remains to be done, do it laithfully, accord ing to hints previously given. The later the season,the more chance of trees drying or heating in transportation, and the more care they will need before planting. Grafting may be continued, recollecting that when the tree has started to grow, the bark is easily wounded, and slips easily. Set root-grafted stocks out in nursery rows, if not aire -dy done, and Budding Stock, that were worked last y ar, need cutting back, provided the bud looks fresh aud the union appears to have been formed. The stock is not to be cut at first close to bud, but about three inch es above it. This leaves a support to which to tie the rapidly growing shoot.— Rub off all the buds except the one that was inserted. Seedling Stocks that were heeled in last winter, are to be set in rows to be budded at the proper season, first shortening the tap root. If seeds for stocks are not plan ted, lose no time in putting them in, and weed them when they come up. The ben efits of Mulching are so great, that it will pay to be at some trouble to apply it around new ly planted trees. Straw, bog or salt hay, sawdust, chips, or any similar material will keep the earth from drying, aud if a dry time comes will save the necessity of wat ering. Plotting, when done in the orchard,should only be entrusted to careful hands. Use short whiffle-trees to the plow or cultivator and pad the ends. It is a customary to put in carrots or some hoed crop between the rows of a young orchard. The war with Insects will begin this month. If the canker worms have ascended the trees, we know of no help for them. The tent-cater pillar is more manageable, for that hangs out its sign, and it can he readily seen where he is to he found. Remove every nest, not only those found in the orchard, but from the wild cherry trees which they are apt to infest. A recent (English) Jour nal of Horticulture gives the following new remedy for the Bark Scale. —A strong solution of soft soap is mixed with clay aud made as thick as it will work with a brush. The whole tree is painted over with this, and it is said that the animal is unable to survive the ap plication. Evergreens succeed better when planted this month than if removed earlier. Nur sery trees are quite sure to live, provided their roots are never allowed to dry When practicable, have the trees removed on a lowery or damp day. If ;hey are to go any great distance, the roots should he covered with damp moss as soon as they are lifted. If the roots of any kind of an evergn en once get dry, it is a doubtful case. In set ting, give good soil, and if any addition to it is needed, lee it be well decomposed leaf mould or muck. Never prune oft' the low er branches of an evergreen,if the upper ones overhang the lower, shorten them, and endeavor to keep the tree well furnished to the base and a perfect pyramid. A few large stones placed over the roots are bet ter than stakes. Give well established ev ergreens a dressing of rich compost. KITCHEN GARDEN.— Asparagus — Do not cut front a bed less than three years planted. In cutting, care is required not to injure the plant, or the buds that still remain dor mant, Slip the knife down between the shoot and the plant and cut with its edge slanting from the plant. That which is sent to market is pnt in hunches 6 or 8 in ches in diameter, tied with a string near the top and bottom, and the lower ends cut square. Beans.— Plaut Early Valentine and other hush sorts as soon as frosts are over. Noth ing is gained by planting in cold soil. Li mas are still more tropical in their habits and need hot weather. For these, and all other pole beans, set the pole first ; let the soil be rich,and put a half dozen beans.with the eye down, around each pole. Those started under glass, or in-doors, are to be set out when the weather is settled and warm. Poles six or seven feet out of the ground are tall enough. The middle orlast of the month is quite early enough for Li mas, in most places. Beets. —Thin and weed those sown ear ly, and sow early sorts as directed last month. Corn. —The principal crop should not be put in until "corn planting time," hut a small patch of an early sort may be planted to take its chances. Melons. —Treat as cucumbers. Manure in the hill, which should he at least 6 or 8 feet apart. Onions. —If the sowing is not already done, attend to it the first thing. Parsnips. —Sow fresh seed early in deep rich soil. Lettuce. —Transplant from frame or seed bed into rich soil, a foot each way. Sow seeds in open border Itjaifc metre. J.JARDWARE.

D., would re spectfully inform the inhabitants of Bradford County that he is permanantly located in Waverly, N.Y., where he has been in the practice of his profession for the past four years. He would say that from his long and suc cessful practice of 25 years duration, he is familiar with all the different styles of work done in any and all Den tal establishments in city or country, an.l 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 be understands the art of making his own artificial teeth, and has facilities lor doing the same. To those requiring nnder 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 naturai in appearance, and much better adapted to the gum than auy other kind of work. Those in need of the same are invited to call and exam ine specimens. Teeth filled to last for years and often t mes for life. Chloroform, ether, and "Nitrous oxide" administered with perfect safety, as over four hundred patients within the last four years can testify. I will be in Towanda from the 15th to 3bth of every mouth, at the office of W.K. TAYLOR, (formerly oc cupied by Dr. O. H. Woodruff. ) Having made arrange metts with Mr. Taylor, I am prepared to do all work in the very best style, at his office. Nov. 27,1865. 6m DR. H. WESTON, DENTIST.
