ICI FARM, DAUM AND HOUSEHOLD. "I have had some experience in the raising of plums. -In my former efforts, when I • let them take care of themselves, my trees produced nothing but a crop of worms anti disappointment. But for the last three years I have succeeded in raising as full and fine a crop of plums as could be desired. My treatment was this: - In the spring, as soon as the blossoms be gan to fall from the fruit, I prepared a large sheet-iron on which were placed a few chips or anything that would burn readily, and after , they had commenced burning freely, %withered the blaze down with graes t which produced a dense smoke. This I would carry around under the trees, and perfectly. befog the entire top, every branch, with smoke... I made this applica tion of smoke each' evening and morning, and continued it until about'the first of July. Fresh grass should be frequently added, eo as to continue a heavy volume of smoke.. I think the advaitage derived from the smoke is from the coating which it deposits upon the fruit, leaves and branches, and producing .a scent which is offensive to such. insects as are wont to prey upon the yOung fruit.-- But whatever The effect of smoke may be, it has been a successful protection tothe fruit during my' three years'. eiperi meat, I alwaya,tammy . trees a thorough iniekingirdoubt the „auceess of homeo-- pathic treatment licsuch'esicee." , -. Maloy. Excellent results have been 4 produced by . fumigating fruit' trees thoroughly with coal tar, the residuunt of gas works. An old fashioned frying pen, with a long handle, is miexcelleritiMplement for this purpose, as it enables the operator to move the burning tar Shoat froth point to Witt Withent sonal exposureto the ; fumes - We have Seen fine "crops of plumed _cherries and .spples* grown in yards ' and eard ens , this discipline, *here all previous attempts had failed. The furaigationshoulCbe applied in the evening `or early lithe morning, and should 'be continued aa often as twice :a week krom,iiie'time blossorn.s 'appear until. . the fruit has - distinctly ,formed ; say,,for . four. Weeks. • So, too, we] have seen the best effects from the use of' lime upon andabout plum trees.c., During the whole period of , eft ) t rescence, and until the fruit has attained the size of a large pea, the ground under the trees and the foliage upon them should be sprinkled with lime. The best way to reach the foliage is to get a light pole of suf ficient length to reach the top, at the small end of, the pole tie $ bag made of any:cloth through which the lime will readily sift out. This bag shonldcontain a quart or two of lime. i While tire dew is on the leaves they may; readily be whitened by shaking the pole over them so as to.let the lime out of the bag. When the lime happens to be washed off by' rains, it should be renewed next day. By this process we have seen trees that had remained fruitless for succes sive years brought into full bearing and kept there. [Ens. GAZETTE. - Nice Sumnier Drinks..

HAY.--More than the average crop will be realized. In Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland the yield is very large and of ex cellent quality. COTTON.--The reports about cotton are very encouraging. Fully an average yield is expected. In parts of Florida the cater pillar is doing some damlge. Suomt--Promises well, but very little was planted. Fnurrs—Are almost a total failure, es pecially in the Middle States. The Peach crap will not be half what it was last year. In the extreme .

HOPEL—A heavy mildew and lice have killed Hops in Pennsylvania, . • Thnashing Grain. "The best of men are none the worse for a little watching." This is true of that im portant class of men, "the thrashers." The work is generally done by the bushel. Last year, owing to the anxiety of farmers to thrash early,.under the idea that the price of wheat would decline, six and seven cents a bushel was paid. Of course ,the thrashers are desirous of doing the work as rapidly as ossible this is very well, especially as p the farmer has to furnish six horses and half a dozen or so. of men, besides the four horses and four men that accompany the machine ; but owing to their anxiety to "hurry up," it is well to see that the grain is all thrashed out of the straw, and also that it is separated from the chaff; and not carried on to the stack by .the straw-carrier. The "boss thrasher' is generally a "gentleman of lei sure." who sees that everything is right: Would it not be well if the farmer himself, instead of working harder than any of the other men, should hire an extra hand and merely look after things ? High as wages are, one bushel of wheat saved would pay fora man that ' could cut bands or throw sheaves froin the bay , . nearly, if not quite, as fast and as well as. himself. Of all the days in the year, thrashing day is the time for the farmer to see that everything is done as it should be. This is work enough for one Tan, which should be the farmer. I .

Pickled Tomatoes:—Always use those Which are thoroughly ripe. The small round' 'ones are decidedly the best. Do not prick them, as most recipe books direct. Let them be in strong brine three or four days, then put them down in layers in your jars, mixing with them small onions and pieces of horse raddish; then pour, on the vinegar cold, which should be first spiced as for peppers let there be a spice -bag to throw into every pot. Cover them care fully, and set them by in the cellar for a full month - before - Using. How to make Tomato .Frga.—Pour boiling , water over the tomatoesin order to remove the skins; then weigh them and place them in a stone jar. with as much sugar as you have tomatoes, and let them - stand two days; then - pour off the syrup, and boil and skim It until no seism rises. Then pour it over the tomatoes, and let them stand two days as before, then boil and skim again. After the thiatime, they are fit -to dry, if the 'weather is good; if not, let them stand in the syrup until drying weather. Then place on large earthern plates or dishes, and put them in the sun to dry, which will take about a week, atter which pack them down in small wooden boxes, with fine white sugar between each- layer. Tomatoes pre pared in this manner.will keep for yearn. Tomato Preserves.—Take the round - yel low variety as soon as ripe, scald and peel; then to seven pounds of tomatoes add seven pounds of white sugar, and let them stand overnight. Take the tomatoes out of the sugar, and boil the syrup, removing the scum. Put in the tomatoes,.and boil gently fifteen or twenty minutes; remove the fruit again and boil until the syrup thickens. On cooling put the fruit into jars and pour the syrup over it, and add a few slices of lemon to each jar, and you will have something to please the taste of the most fastidious. UM The Crops. Full details by telegraph from all parts of the country, of the condition of the crops,l are ; published. On the whole these reports are cheerful. ' The following facts are de duced - Weir.—This crop is larger than. last year in West Virginia; Indiana, Ohio, Mis souri, Kansas. Colorado, Utah, Montana,. Wisconsin,'Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hamp shire, and the quality is regarded as excel lent. In Georgia, South Carolina, Alabania and Texas the reports are not so rood, the yield being. indifferent. In Louisiana, A,rkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Maryland, Southwestern Virginia, Central Tennessee, North Carolina, Delaware and Vermont, the crop has been an average one. Conic —From all sections of the country we hear that this crop is very large, and the finality remarkably. good. The yield this year will be fully one-third more than last. This is especially so in the Southern States. OATS.—In Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Indiana, Missouri, -Kansas, Ohio, Nebraska, lowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Vermont, New York and Illinois, especially in the latter States, the yield is large; while in Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and other Southern States it will not be more than an average. The rains we have had lately have injured the crops in New Jersey, Pennsylvania Dela ware, Maryland and Maine, and the yield will be less than usual. BARLEY. —The crop will be an average one.
