LImo Around Apple Trees. "We have known some fanners mate it n regular practice for a number of years, to throw caustic lime around their applc trccs in the spring and summer. W'c once noticed that, a tree standing in the imme diate vicinity of our dwelling had all at once put forth with renewed energy, and we were at a loss for sometime to define the cause. On examination wo found that a quantity of lime, that hud acci dentally been spilled and rendered worth less by becoming mixed with the refuse ou the stable floor, bad been thrown at the foot and around the tree, and to this, as the principal cause, we immediately at tributed the reviviscence and renewed fructuation of the tree. Taking the hint from the accident we purchased twelve casks of lime, and applied half a bushel to each of the trees in our orchard, and found that it produced immediate bene ficial effects. Not the health of the trees only, but the quality of the fruit was also greatly improved. This application will be especially beneficial tosoils where there is a redundancy of vegetable matter. We would advise our farmers in soma places, especially in new forest lands recently cleared, and on low lands, to make trial of this experiment, and see whether it is not deserving of the high recommendation it secures. Cooking Cod Fish. The codfish should first be soaked in cold water, changing the water every few hours until it is fresh enough. It should not be entirely freshened, but left just fresh enough to be palatable. It is then put into a kettle, covered, and brought up to the boiling point, but not loilcxl. Let it simmer gently for 15 or 'JO minutes, and it is ready to serve, or it may be made into cakes. This is done by pick ing carefully to pieces and mixing with about equal quantity of mashed potatoes, moistened with a little milk or crcam,and breaking in one egg and after stirring well together, make into small cakes and fry for a few minutes, or until a little brown. If served up without being made into cakes, a little drawn butter gravy and a hard boiled egg, adds very much to the appearance and taste. Basement Stables. Having spent my life, so far, among the. domestic animals, and being by pro fession a veterinary surgeon, called con tinually for the last thirty years to minis ter to the wants and diseases of our noble servants, viz., the horse, cattle, etc., I am prepared to give some advice based upon such an experience, and I do say, once for all, that for animal life, to be healthy, vigorous and strong, all yea all, must have light, pure fresh air, and be kept iroui damp, all or which tuey lack in basement stables ; and all such stables are a most fruitful source of disease, aud should, as a rule, be condemned, the ex ceptiou being to find one fit to use as a stablu ior so nobica creature as the horse Correspondent Country Gentleman. KafAn amateur farmer down in Dela ware was very much annoyed last sum luer by the ceaseless efforts of his oxen to brush away the flies with their tails.- In order to put an end to this unpleasant practice, he tied halt a brick to the tail of each ox. Un fortunately, howevcr,one energetic animal succeeded in elevating his tail and the weight with it, and he whisk cd it around in such an able manner that it brained the farmer's oldest boy on the wpot. The experiment was discontinued after that ; but the agriculturist says he intends this summer to buckle every tail to the ox's off hind leg, and if any one of them wants to switch he will have to lift himself clear off the ground. This de vice is not what Horace Greeley "knows about larunns:. Sa?It is foolish to have a large or chard with every other tree dead from borers and your own shiftless cultivation ot it; to set out an orchard, and turn cattle in to prune it; to buy poor trees, because they are cheap : to be so eminent' ly selfish that you will not set out trees, because your hie is not lusured to last as fifiy The Clolonol n Lnron nrwvl 41 vnnrH. died nt Lackanack, New York, April 18th. lie was used in a tannery for years pre vious to his death.

Foul Cellars. A family living over a foul cellar is more liable to be poisoned and afllictcd with illness than a city fam ily living in a polluted atmosphere, but without cellar or basement filled with fer menting roots and fruits. There is far more sickness in the country among hus bandmen than there ouprht to be. Coal foii lions. Kays an exchange : If farmers would go to the coul pits und 'vt all the rejected coal and break it up, and keep a supply where tho hogs could have free access to it, they would have very few sick ones. It is lrom this part that sulphuric acid is made, hence its medicinal properties. JSSy Uriek dust obtained by rubbing two soft bricks together is the best reinc- ly lor lice on stock, says a correspond ent of the Waiter n Rural, that he ever tried. Sift the dust evenly over tlio an imal aud work it well iu among the hair.
