FARM AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
We Invito ctrmmvntcaUons from alt personswhoare
Interested in matter properly belonging to tint
department.
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

turn to the stable. lie le irnod to take
down bars with his teeth, open gates, &c,
and therefore enioved a larger amount of'
freedom than usually fulls to the lot of
cquines.
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.
