Brief Notes of Useful ThiDgs;
Wii/d*,- —careful to gather all
the ttoiweAtia we«ds on your farm
or garden before Aey tire in Wossoin,
nnd throw them into large piles so
that-in*r ferment and decay
rapidly. :isi form a very rich manure.
If the needs should already hare run
to Bcwfr, your gathering of the weeds
when they are wet er veil covered
with dew will prevent their seeds
from falling out.. It is better to spend
ii tlar or two nt this'work at the
proper season than to spend weeks in
the ensuing «- , nscr. to ke r p down and
destWy with .the hoe and harrow
thoCe wee<Ts that must, otherwise,
spring fVom such ripened and scat
tered seeds.
Pruning. —We are oWigeil to ac
cept pruning, the cutting off of large
limbs, as one of the operations that
must lie ilone. This and the next
are the months in which to do it, as
now in the growing season the wounds
will heal over -'kindly." Never cut
a limli from a tree unless something
is to be gnineu' by it. Indiscrimin
ate hacking, merely because it is the
pruning season, is not to be commen
ded. If tho head is too crowded;
and there is not room for the light
and air, thin it; if one branch grows
so near another as to chafe it, take it
<>ut: if the tree is disposed to grow
one-sided, balance it. Use a saw
with a wide ; *sct," never an ax, tho'
sometimes a heavy chisel, driven up
from below, will prove efficient. —
Leave a smooth cut, by paring care
fully with a knife or chisel if need
be. The' wound will heal over all
ihe better if covered from the air.—
The old solution of shellac in alcohol
is an excellent application, but the
price of materials is too high to al
low of their general use, and grafting
wax, applied warm with a brush, is a,
very useful substitute. One part tal
low, two of wax, four of rosin, melt
ed together and applied while warm,
will answer the purpose. The com
position may be made harder or soft
er by altering the proportion of tal
low.
drape Nildeu Prevented. —A gen
tleman who bus visited the experi
ment grounds at Washington, informs
in that some experiments for preven
ting the uiildew of the grape, by
erecting a cheap roof over them,
seemed to answer the purpose per
fectly. The roof, he states, may be
simply a board sixteen inches wide,
nailed to the pests. On a bundled
varieties treated in this way. not any
mildew was s;en ; while all the rest
in the same yard were entirely ruin
ed. Further experiments are neces
sary.—('ountrt/ G. nth'man.
Tv Keep ('ream Sweet. A good
deal depends upon the proper man.
ngen.ent of the cream, if the churn
ing does not take place every day, as
it tmgh; to where the dairy is large
enough to warrant it. If it is to be
kept till the quantity is sufficient to
make up a churning, put it into a
stone jar, in a cool place, and when
l'resh cream is added, let it be thor
oughly stirred in, and a very little
tine salt added. In this way it may
be kept sweet several days.
('attic. —lt can never be too much
impressed upon the minds of agri
culturists, that with dung there is no
corn—without cattle there is no dung.
Every means should, therefore, be
used to encourage the breeding and
feeding of cattle, nnd none can be
more effectual than to show that the
profits of a farn are always propor
tioned to the number of cattle kept,
and the abundance of food prepared
for them.
The First Grape Grower. —The
earliest account of the cultivation of
the viae is found in Genesis ix, 20:
—" And Noah began to be a hus
bandman and planted a vineyard."
Wc are not informed as to the kind
«»r quality of the grapes he planted,
but we have abundant testimony that
they made p.ood wine in which the
alcoholic element was amply develop
ed, as Noah's own testing of its qual
ities showed. The country in which
Noah resided is supposed to be Ar
menia, aland still famed for it' grapes
and wine.
To Dry CJterrict. —Having stoned
the desired quantity of good cherries,
put a pound and a quarter of fine su
gar to every pound ; beat and sift
over the cherries, and let them stand
all night. Take them out of the su
gar, and to every pound of sugar put
two spoonfullg of water. Boil and
skim it well, and then putin the
cherries ; boil the sugar over them,
nud next morning strain them, and
to every pound of syrup put a half
pound more sugar ; boil it till it is a
littlethieker,then putin the cherries,
aod let them boil gently. The next
day Strain them, put them in a stove
and turn them every day until they
are •
To Clean Knives. —l find that tak
ing one-half of a raw potato anil dip
that; jn brick-dust and apply it to
Luives, lias an excellent effect in
brightening them—a desideratum to
all housekeepers and families certain
ly most devoutly to be wished.
Jiotu' Manure.— lf bones arc bro-
ken into pieces and mixed up iato
heaps with some saw-dust, and kept
moist with urine or other strong leach
ing waters of a dung yard, tlicy will
ferment and soften so as to be easily
crushed into good bone manure.
