Practical Farmer! We have frequently recommended sheep in orchards for the destruction of tho codling worm, as well as to keep them closely grazed by feeding on the gras and to enrich the ground with their droppings, and tho subject is of sufficient im portance to bear many repetitions. Wo find in an exchange an account of the successful treatment of an orchard, without giving the name of the owner, but from tho statement it is cwdently that of J. S. Woodward, of Lock port. The following is briefly the substance of the statement : Tho orchard occupies 32 acres, and is mado the run of 30 hogs and 150 or 200 sheep and lambs during Summer. Enough grain and brau is given them to place them in good condition. They eat every blade of gras3 and green thing close down, and every fallen apple as coon as dropped, for which purposo sheep are better than hogs, which sleep so soundly as not to hear an apple fall, but sheep aro always on hand and devour every ono as soon as it touches tho ground. The fruit each year grows fail er, and fewer wormy specimens, and the manttro from feed ing so much grain has given a healthy grow th of the trees. To prevent tho animals gnaw ing the bark the trunks aro washed once a month with a mixture of soap-suds, whalo oil aud sheep manure. If tho animals aro given a constant supply of fresh water they have less disposition to cat the bark. Tho profits of this system consist in placing the sheep in tho best condition, in fiuely glowing lambs and in hcaiy crops of fiuit for market. COWS WANTED.

Last October I asked some questions about planting potatoes, which wero kindly an swered in the Jomtwl, and I w as requested to send tho results of tho expciimeuts that I was then about to try. The potatoes wero planted the first week in October about six inches deep, they were well covered with dry, decayed manure, and the holes were then filled with soil. Tho tubers were not cnt, aud tho variety was E rly Rose. In due titno the shoots appeared, and were much injured by the late frosts; tho foliage never looked healthy after, and thero were ten per cent, blanks in the rows. The pota toes w ero ready to lift the second week in July, but the crop was not heavy, many of the tubers being very small, most of the large tubers very ill-shaped, and when cooked they were closo in substance, which I attrib uted to deep planting. So much for Autumn planted potatoes. By way of test, at the end of March I planted one row of the same variety close to the others. The frost did not aflect them, as they were not so forward, and it was surprising how they grew and took tho lead. There was not a blank in the row, and they were ready to lift the first week in July, the crop being heavier, the tubers larger, with fewer small ones amongst them than was the case with the Autumn slant." atoc.j J K --llshaped, and ... ........... -.. v.s. i.u.jr, xiie ixmeieijco i attribute to litto and shallow planting.

Dr. TCTTS HArU:l of VtltuM UlnUo tad fe twft.1 lUeclpU will U atlt4 FHEB ea pplkUo-jV Ague Mixture Chills and Fever aro permanently In ortler to raiso roses in perfection, it is needful to feetl them well and place them in the full sunlight, and not where they will be shaded by trees or shrul s; and after they have bloomed prune them closely, also when they commence to leaf out in tho early Spring. Tlio beds in which they are planted must bo made very rich with well decomposed compo site, tiny in to the depth of at least two feet. In making a rose-bed, fill it in with good ordure well rolled; then add si inches or a foot of very rich soil withja mixturo of sand. After the plants are set out, mulch them with tobacco stems, which will I)t-lp keep them from tho aphis, or with long litter from the stable. This will keep their roots moist and cool duriug the heated term, and make healthy growth of branches and Howers. After the June (lowering has passed, ill monthly loses should be severely pruned and the new grow th cut back two or nioro inches; also, tho old branches should be cut away. The handsomest flowers alnays spring from fresh growth from tho roots, and to make these start vigorously the knifo should bo vigorously used. For a few w eeks your pets may Beem shorn of their glory, but soon they will rene.v their beauty and give you plenty of flowers, while if you permit the seed-buds to form it will stop the blossoming in a great degree. As each rose fades away, therefore, cut it off; or, better jet, cut it while iu its loveliness, and if you have plenty iu the house, send it to some one whs docs not pos sess such floral liehes. Fiom the branches which aio pruned away new plants can be raised, which will also delight your friends if jou will give them away, A true flower loer is always generous with flowers, aud takes as much pleasure in giving them to others as in raising them. As a general rule, all cuttings should be cut off just below a bud or joint. and they should be from ouug grow th rather than from the old, where the bark has become hardened. Try to snap tho branch. If it bends without breaking, it is too old to grow- easily, but if it snaps off at once it is iu the ruht condition to take root quickly. Lease one or two buds aboxe the bottom one, and trim off ono or more of the lower leans, as they wilt easily, and thus iujurethe cutting. Clear sand kept very moist is the best soil iu which to strike cuttings, aud they ean be placed iu a pot only an inch apart, and put iu the shade for a few days. Warmth, an even teuipcratuio and moisture are essential for root grow th. It will take from three to four weeks to develop the r-ots, and then the plants can lw placed iu a rich soil with i little sand to lightuu it. and soii they will be good stocky plants. .ny i,yrAryAr. lWrooin Mts of furniture for ul Shiudlcr & Chidbourne's. , cuitni tyr -. j.yne'i Ague Mix tare.
