Bent Time to Exterminate Bushes.
A farmer in westorn New York, writing
to the Herald says : Having been brought
up on a farm I used to hear much said by
farmers in regard to the " beat time for
cutting bushes, etc., and remember well
the many uncertainties that existed and the
various opinions given on the subject.
Some recommended to cut at ope season,
lome at another : some regardod the
" moon," others the " signs," &o. I also
remember that the same kind of under
brush, if cut at one season would start
again and grow luxuriously, but if cut at
another would be completely " used up." I
have also, within the last few years, had
opportunity to notice the same fact ; and
the conclusion at which I have arrived Is,
that different shrubs or bushes, trees, etc.,
may be cut at different seasons of the year.
Some are killed by cutting as early as the
first of August, and so on till October or
November. The rule is this: "Cut ony
ftlant or shrub about the time that it has
done growing for the season, and its de
struction is almost certain." If cut before
this it will generally start again the next
year. The exceptions are few. So much
for the fact, now for the theory. First, in
the spring of the year, all roots are vigor
ous ; hence, if a tree or shrub be cut at
this time, or while in full growth, the root
will send forth a new set of roots. The ex
ceptions are first, evergreens generally, as
fine, hemlock, spruce, eto. ; secoud, those
that have a copious flow of sap in the
spring, as the maple, birch, etc. Yet even
some of those will start again if cut soon
after the buds have opened ; that is, after
the flow of sap has ceased ; except in the
case of old trees, in which the roots ap
pear not sufficiently vigorous or the
evaporation from the new stump too rapid
to allow of the formation of new shoots.
Second in Autumn, when a shrub or tree
bas done growing for the season, the active
energies of the root cease, being, perhaps,
somewhat exhausted by its summer action.
then the bush or tree be cut, after it has
done growing, but while the stem and
leaves are full of sap, the vital force of the
root will rarely be sufficient to cause a new
growth ; but if loft till the foliage is dead
or dying the energies of the root are restor
ed by the return of the sap, and are ready for
action again as soon as the season of growth
tihall return. Hence too early or too late
cutting will be equally unsuccessful. Cut
jour underbrush, then, at the time above
specified, and it will rarely start again. If
. it does, the growth will appear stunted or
sickly, and soon die of its own accord, or a
second cutting at tho proper time will in
sure success. The same rule applies to all
plants, as Canada thistle, milk weeds, eto.,
with greater or less certainty, according to
the greater or less vital force or tendency
of life peculiar to the root of each kind of
vegetable The " proper time" can easily
be determined by observing whether new
leaves continue to appear at the ends of the
prominent branches. If doferred long be
yond this time, or till the loaves begin to
turn yellow and fall, cutting will be of lit
tle use, as the root will be "strong" for a
new start on the opening of a new spring.
Hon to Build a Cheap Farm Gate.
A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
ays : ' The old practice of building farm
gates with heavy four-by-four scantling
Cor posts and end piooes and oak boards
riveted together, tenented, &o., causing an
expense of from $3 to f 5.' a gate, and an
everlasting trouble to keep the gate when
iiung from sagging, I long since abandoned.
As a substitute and as forming a gate that
lias never sagged for ten jears, I take five
pieces of inch boards each ten feet long,
one eight inches wide for the bottom strip,
and each of the others' four Inches wide.
I then take one piece four inches wide for
one end upright, and one piece eight Inches
wide for the end piece where the hinges
ought to be. These strips are four feet
long, that being high enough for any gate
for ordinary purposes. Now lay down
your end pieces, then place the eight inch
wide and ten feet long strip for the bottom,
nail it at each end to the upright with
wrought niiils J now take three of- the four
inch wide strips and lay them on parallel
with the bottom one, dividing the spaces
to as to leave four inches between the low
er two boards, and six inches each space
between the upper ones ; nail as before.
Now turn the gate over, and take the re
maining strip, lay it an angle from the bot
tom, at the hinge end, to the top at the
latch end ; cut it so that it will lit iu end
lay close to the long strips j nail it. Now
Lang the gate with strong hinges, and you
bave a gate that is light and will not sag,
and just as perfoot protection against cat
tle as one made by the joiner, and costing,
as named above, from 3 to (3.' Any per
son can put togother and bang the above
named gate in two hours." ,, (j
Massachusetts has a law that eggs
must be sold by weight.
