farm&artim&fUtdifit. Farmers, and Agricultural men generally, are requested to contribute to this Department, as it is from their experience that we hepe to gain some thing of interest for our readers. FOOLISH PRACTICES. To purchase trees, take them exposed to sun and winds, throw them over the garden fence until morning ; then distribute them over the field where they are to be set, leav ing some to dry, while others are being throwu into holes not a foot square, with not a root or branch trimmed,and the stones and coarse dirt all shoveled in together ; and then, after allowing them sufficient time to wither and die, satisfy the longings of your soul by abusing, or, if you are in the habit, of cursing en masse all tree dealers, nursery men, and horticulturists. To cultivate more land tjian you can pro* perly drain, subsoil, and manure. To have a largo orchard with every other tree dead from borers and your own shiftless cultivation of it. To set out an orchard, and torn cattle in to prune it. r To buy poor trees, because they are cheap. To be so eminently selfish that you will not set out trees, because your life is not in sured to last as long as theirs. To be so afraid of lending your influence to book farming that you will read nothing of what is going on in the agricultural world, thus depriving > ourself of much useful and Taluable information. CCTTIXG TIMBER. -Cut the timber from September to December, and you cannot get a worm into it. October and November are perhaps the best months, and are sure to avoid worms. You cut Irom March tc June and you cannot save the timber from worms or borers. May used to he called '"peeling time," in my boyhood ; and much was then done in procuring bark for tanneries, when the sap is up in the trunk and all the pores are full of sap ; whereas in the Fall and early in the Winter these pores are empty—then is the time to cut,and there will be no worms When you see ail ox-bow with the bark tight, there are no worms, no powder post, and you cannot sc|>erate it from the wood and what is true of one kind is true of all kinds of timber, and every kind has its pe culiar kind of worrna. The pine has, I believe the largest worms ; and theso worms w >rk many years ; have found them ahve and at work in white oak spokes that I knew wen* in my garret over twelve jeAis,and they were much larger than at first ; they did not stop in the sap, and continued in the solid pari.— I do not think of buying limber unless it is cut in the time above alluded. LIME ABOUND APPLE TREES.— We have known farmers to make it a regular practice for a succession of years, to throw caustic limearouni their apple trees in the spring and summer. We once noticed that* tree standing m the immediate vicinity jf our dwelling had, ail at once, pu" forth with re newed energy, and we were at a Jqss for some time to define the cause. On examina tion, wo found that a quantity of lime, which had accidently been spilled and rendered worthless by becoming mixed with the re fuse of tlie stable floor, had been thrown at the fopt and arouud the tree, and to this, as the principal cause, we immediately accredit ed it and purchased twelve casks of lime, and applied half a bushel to each of the trees in our orchard, and found that it produced im mediately beneficial edicts. Not the health of the trees only, but the quality of the fruit also, was greatly improved. This application will be especially bi nefic-al in spib> wheie there is a redundancy of vegetable matter.— We would advise our farmers, in some places, especially in new forest lands,to make the experiment, and see if it is not deserving of the high recommendation it secures. CUTTING cp BEEF.— In cutting op beef for salting, regard should be had to the size of the pieces and their relation to each other when put down. In other words a family resemblance should he pursued in the differ ent strata, as placed in the barrel. When designed for family use it will be found con venient to cut into pieces suited to a day's consumption, F>r preserving meat the N. E Farmer says: Pack the pieces in casks, giv ing a slight sprinkling ol salt between each piece ; cover with a pickle by boiln g togeth er, in four gallons of watei, eight pounds ot salt, three pounds of brown sugar, three ounces of saltpetre, one ounce pearl ash, for one hundred pounds of meat. Keep a flat 6toue on the meat, that it may be immersed in the pickle. Pu: down in this way beef may keep a year, and rather improve by age. EFFICACT OF ONIONS.— A writer says: "We are often troubled with severe cough*, the result of colls long siandiug, wtrch uia> turn to consumption or premature death.— Hard coughs cause sleepless nights by con stant irritatinn in the throat, and a stmrg effort to throw off t ffen.-ivu matur from the lungs. The remedy I propose has been tried by me and often recommended to oth ers with good results, which is simply to take into the stomach before retiring for the night a piece of raw onion, af'er chewing. Ttie es culent in an uncooked state, is very heating, and tends to collect the waters from the lungs and thmat causing immediate relief to the patient. Sliced onion, in a raw state, will collect poison from the air, and also from the human system when taken internafiy, or ex ternally applied to ibe arm pits." CORN MCAL PUDDING WITHOUT EGGS Take seven heaping iabl<.*p<>oii*ful of meal & salt spoonful of salt, a table spoonful of but ter, one teacupful of molasses, tablespoon ful of ginger, ftod mix with a quart of boiling milk. When thoroughly mixed, pour into • buttered pan, and just as you set m the oven stir in a cup of co'il water, wiiich will have the same effect aa egga. Bake one hour. siscfllaitfmrs.
