g^riruliutal. Hints Abont Work. At this time of the year, when the stock in chiefly in pasture,and the barns ami gin neries are comparatively empty,time should be taken for A General Cleaning out. —All the build ings should be swept out thoroughly, the hay, feed, etc., cleared out, and also all the scattered grain, with the insects it may contain, and the whole of the premises put in order for the reception of the new crops. Old Hag ought not to be left to form the bottom of the mow, but put somewhere, where it can be got at conveniently at any time. At this time,.also, do auy necessary repairs of those parts which were covered up when much hay and grain were in stole ; and in rainy days Repair the flooring of cattle stalls, etc., ma king sure that all liquid and solid manuie shall be saved. Thr Cattle in the pasture should be look ed to dairy, that they do not lack water, and good feed, and to see that none aie ail ing. Pastures not in real good heart, may he greatly benefitted at this season, by shut ting the stock out of them for a few days, i and giving them a light dressing of ashes, boue.lust and plaster,or of good superphos phate and guano. Sheep. —Look out for dogs—-put poisoned i meat about in the pastures near where the | dogs would enter, if you suspect dogs of j chasing and worrying them. The way to ; do it is this, take pieces of meat as large as a dog can easily swallow, run a knife blade 1 half way through, and then pressing the meat so as to open the hole, drop into the center f the meat a few grains of the pois- i on, 3 grains is enough. Let the druggist j weigh out a few doses and put them in sep arate papers, one can readily guess near enough after that. It is policy to wash wool so as to get the dirt out,but not remove all the greese Thus the fleeces will weigh j heavier, and so long as manufacturer will not discriminate between cleaned and half: cleaned wool, it is not unfair. lhe best washing is done by washing some of the i greasiest fleeces which are not very dirty, in tubs, so that the water becomes quite soapy (they should first be wet so as to soak the fleece some time before washing). In the water other sheep may be washed, and almost the whole of the grease removed with comparative ease, the fleeces being subsequently rinsed clean in pure water. The system of washing sheep affords a con siderable quantity of very valuable manure in the water used, which may be applied by watering carts, or by being distributed upon the grass or other crops, by the pail ful. Pea* and Oat* may be sown together any j time during this month, using, on soil well prepared by repeated harrowing at inter vals of several days, to kill weeds, about 2 : ] bushels of each seed well mixed and dril led in deep : or, drill in the peas three in- ' chos deep and sow the oats broadcast, and harrow them in the same way the drills run. i | Millet, as a fodder crop, to cut before the 1 | seed ripens, is highly esteemed by many. The large kind is sowed in drills or broad- ■ cast, in good light soil. \Y eeds check its g-owth disastrously at its first starting,but j 1 if the ground can be stirred, it soon takes | ' care of itself even in rather weedy soil. The | small variety known as Hungarian Grate, affords an abundant i crop of good hay on land in good heart,and ! * bears a drouth well. It should be cut soon j after flowering, because the bristles, which surround the mature grain, produce bad ef fects in the stomachs of horses and perhaps other stock, which gives this fodder a bad , j reputation. Sow after the middle of June, employ the previous time to clear the ground of weeds, using about J bushel (20 ' to 2-t lbs.) of the seed to the acre,and brush ing it in if the ground is nut very dry, in j which case it should be lightly harrowed, j It is valuaole to cut green. J Butter. —The secret of making good but- j ter is cleanliness and thoroughness,and the j time for the most profitable exercise of the | art of buttermaking is June. The grass is abundant, the cows in full milk, the weath- j er favorable. The milk should not be kept! ' too cool, though this is rarely a fault in ; dairies. It is euough if it be kept as cool ; as 50 deg. Fahrenheit, though 55 deg. is j not too Cool. Cream will rise at about this temperature better than at any other, and j the same is best at which to churn. Milk j should stand where the air is sweet and i fresh, odors from the kitchen or from the stabh , or odors of any kind, indeed, except that of fresh air, should be carefully exclu ded. Stone floors are desirable, for these can be kept constantly moist and so cool er than others, and the air ought to eircu- 1 late freely over and under the pans. Shal-: low pans are better than deep ones. Work j out the buttermilk without touching the j hands to the butter, using as little water i possible, or none at all If the buttermilk i is all out, aud with it all the milk, sugar j and cheesy portions of the milk, butter will j keep with very little salt The more iin- ; perfect the working, the more salt is re- j quired. In keeping cream several days, j put it where the temperature will be uni form and cool, and stir well it more is ad-, ded. Bean*. —The white field bean may he sown with profit any time during the month, l'lant in drills 2 feet apart, the hills being j a foot apart. The Blue Pod and White | Marrow arc the best, the latter ought not to be planted later than the 25th. Fowl*.— Give hens as much space as pos sible, if confined, throwing them a fresh ; sod daily, as at this season grass will be ! a good part of their living. Provide clean j gravel and lime, and a good dusting-box, and lime-wash the houses, nest-boxes and roosts frequently. A hen with chickens i will do little scratching if each foot is tied ; up in a little hag or toe of an old stocking, and the brood will do much good in the garden. Corn. —Much corn is not planted until the first week in June, and yet good crops are secured. If planted late,of course only the earliest maturing kinds should be used. ! In its cultivation horse power should take the place of the hand hoe, as far as possi- j ble, and on many soils it will be found har dly necessary to hoe at all, if the horse cultivation be thorough, and the rows run both ways. Corn Fodder. —Pry weather may sudden ly cut short the pasturage, and without a good supply of corn fodder many a farmer would find his milk running very low Ccni should he sowed on ground in good heart, it drills 3 feet apart, manured in the drill with compost if need be. About 3or 4 bushels is the usual seeding for an acre. The ground should be cultivated between the rows with a horse-hoe or cultivator once or twice. Sorghum may be used instead of corn,but it is not nearly so good. Still this seed costs much less. Clover Seed. —Don't forget that red clo ver on good land, cut early, will produce a crop of seed as good, or better than you can buy Cut before it would otherwise be Isrst CJ do HO, —early in June, —and leave the stubble even as possible If you can put a ght dressing of fine muck and ashes compost, you will see the advantage in it. Peas sowed after the 15th of May, north ! of latitude 41deg, wi 1 be free from the Pea Weevil or Pea Bug. South of this latitude, peas sowm earlier by several days or weeks, will usually be found free. Root Crops. —We hope none of our rea ders will neglect to plant roots. Mangel wertsels should have been planted in May, but will make a crop in good soil now. The sod for Rutabagas should be rich and mel low, and 200 or 300 pounds of a good su perphosphate,or an equal quantity of bone dust will do the crop nothing but good.— Sow with a good drill 24 inches apart, and thin to a foot apart in the drills, di 10 inch es in very rich land. Cabbages do well on soil rich in organic matter, such as reclaimed swauips, in fact they will flourish on any rich soil. They need good previous tillage of tne soil, and constant culture, that is, enough to secure an t>pen,weedless soil so fur as practicable. They take the place of roots perfectly iu feeding, and impart but very little flavor ! to the milk, provided no decayed leaves are j fed. The seed of the Drumhead, Flat Dutch, j Mason, and other late sorts may be sowed j now in seed beds, and by and by the plants j set in the field 2 feet apart in rows, 30 in- j dies to 3 feet apart according to the usual j size of the variety, Cabbages produce an | immense quantity of food per acre on good ! ground—One great use on hoed crops is to j destroy the Weeds. —Very weedy land may be clean-1 ed completely by diligently allowing no j weeds to grow large, and frequently stir- j ring the soil so as to cause uew crops cou j tinually to sprout. Wet weather should be i taken advantage of to Pull deep-rooted Weeds both among grain j and grass, where these crops can be enter ed without injury, and also in the corn i I field. | Tobacco.- - Set plants about the 2d and 3d week in June iu the latitude, and north- ' ward. The soil must be rich, in good tilth, the rows 3 feet apart,and'the plants 2.1 feet j in the rows, shelter from the sun by drop-. | piug a little freshly mown grass upon the j plants, keep close watch for grubs, and cut j worms, and reset as fast as plants fall, up j to the second week in July. Orchard and Nursery. lie who hits planted trees has done well, j ! but he who lias watched them and cared ! for their early growth, has done better.-- ; There would be very little to be said al out pruning, were the young trees properly looked after. The rubbing oft' a superflu- j ous bud here, pinching a rampant shoot j there, and the judicious use of the pocket i knife as occasion required, would soon put! a young orchard in the way it should go. j But as people will let trees have their own j way until they need Pruning, we are obliged to accept pru- j ning, the cutting off of large limbs, as one ! 1 of the operations that must be done. This I and the next are the months in which to do | it, as now in the growing season the ; wounds heal over "kindly." Never cut a I limb trom a tree unless something is to be j gained by it. Indiscriminate hacking mere ly because it is the pruning season, is not to be commended. If the head is too crow ded and there is not room for the light and air, thin it ; if one branch grows so near another as to chafe it, take it out; if the tree is disposed to grow one-sided, balance it. Use a saw with a wide "set," never an axe, though sometimes a heavy chisel driv en up from below, will prove efficient.— Leave a smooth cut, by paring carefully with knife or chisel if need be. The wound j will heal over all the better if covered from j the air. The old solution of shellac in alco- i hoi is an excellent application,but the price j of materials is too high to allow of their general use, and Grafting Wax, applied warm with a brush, is a very useful substitute. One part tal low, two of wax, four of rosin, melted to gether and applied while warm,will answer the purpose. The composition may be made harder or softer by altering the proportion of tallow. In shaping Young Trees, to form low heads, if only for the protection the overhanging branches afford to the trunk. Grafts set this spring will now show whether they have "taken." In common cleft grafting there are usually two cions put iu, but seldom more than one is need ed. Cut off the superfluous one, and if the upper buds of the one allowed to grow are ; disposed to starve the lower ones, shorten them by pinching. In short, treat a graft as if it were a newly planted young tree. Keep the wax or clay closely applied, until the wound is well covered. Insect* will demand much of the utten- i lion of the fruit grower at this time. One I | of the most conspicuous of these is the Tent | Caterpillar. If, as we advised in season, ] the eggs were looked for and removed, the i number of tents will be sensibaly less. We | iiavc probably a dozen letters giving the < writ rs' method of treating the caterpillar ; | they all result in destroying the nest and j killing the inhabitants. Kerosene on a ; swab, soft soap on a swab and a torch of kerosene to bun. them out are among the r medics proposed. As good away as we have ever seen, is to pull off the nest and trample on it, wearing gloves if you are j squeamish about caterpillars ; or, if the nest is, as is often the case,on a small twig, cut it off. but don't omit the trampling.— Fires in the orchard at night will attra t and destroy many moths, and some place I lamps or lanterns in large pans of water, i The insects strike against the glass and fall into the water and are drowned. Bud* set last year will now be pushing a growth so vigorous, that there is great danger that it will be broken down by winds, or by its own weight. It should be i tied to the stump of the stock left for that purpose, or if necessary to a stick. All, Sucker*, whether they appear ou bud ded, or grafted stocks,or an established trees, should be rubbed off when they first ; appear. If the Black Knot appears on the plum or cher ry tree, cut it off and burn it. This is a ; regular fungus growth and should not be j laid to insects who have enough other mis : chief to answer for. It has been ignoraut ly charged to the account of the Curculio , which will perhaps deposit its eggs in it in default of finding fruit. Treat tlie curculio in the only practical way. Jar every tree early in the morning, catch the insects that fall upon a sheet, and burn them. As soon as the new growth of shrubs gets firm enough, I Lagers may be made. Put the layer down in rico soil, and if at all disposed to dry out cover the surface with a mulch of J moss, or other material. Seed-beds of fruit aud other trees], will need weeding, and thinning, and often, es pecially in the case of forest and evergreens need shading. If seedling evergreens are : disposed to damp off, sift over the bed an i inch or so of dry sand. Weeds, by the use of the cultivator, hoe, ; rake, or hand, weeding us circumstances j require.

D., would re spectfully inform the inhabitants ot Bradford County that he is permanantly located iu 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, and is better pre pared than any other Deutal 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 ol making his own artificial teeth, and has facilities lor doiug the same. To those requiring under sets of teeth he would call attention to his new kind of work which consists ol porcelain lor both plate and teeth, and torming a continuous gum. It is more durable, more naturai in appearance, aud much better adapted to the gum than any 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 tbe 15th to 30th of every month, at the office of W.K. TAYLOR, (formerly oc cupied by Dr. O. H. Woodruff.)
