As there is a prospect of a large crep ot iruit, seasonable suggestions are in order and hints for management of fruit may be of use to somo who aro not experienced in tho business. All li ireo, in goou cearmg years, nave a tendency to over-produce, and miyiy times aro greatly harmed by havine too much fruitleftto crowand mature, Over bearing is sure to injure the treo, uy weakening its productive power and its vitality. The value of fruit depends on its sizo and flavor. A bushel of lrge peaches will tell at a good price, but when fruit is over crowded on the tree it is worthless, as it lacks sizo and flavor. You have a lot of inferior fruit, and the tree that bore it is weakened and injured. The true way to do is to carefully thin fruit as soon bb it has fairly set, and has gained sufficient size to show that it will hang on. A lively picker will go over a tree in a short timo and thin it, so that his time lost will be well in vested. Even when fruit is dried, the buyer discriminates in favor of lame growth, and pays in moportion. In thinning, see that the p cker takes off tho small fruit, and all that are in any way ill Bhapen, or that havo fungus spots on them. This leaves only large antl handsome fruit to mature, and it will bring a handeomo price. Fruit .roweis themselves, and their hired handn, all have at first a tendency to (tread either thinning fruit when it hangs too thick or pruning trees heavily enough when they need it. They havo to bo educated to it, and when they have once learned their lesson they are in condition to do well and make money. It is aggravating to seo a tree dia in the effort to bear and perfect the fruit that crowds its own burdened branches. Tlieorchard- iBt has many lessons to learn, and suc cess in his occupation depends very greatly on his learning them well, and practicing them to perfection. A new dairy fraud has made its ap pearance in England uuder tho name of "chcoserind." Meadows that have ceased to give good crops may be renewed cheaply by turning the sod soon after cutting, then harrow thoroughly at intervals of a fortnight, and btforo autumn rains roseed with timothy and such other varieties of grass as may bo suited to toil and si'uation. Tho Dutch aro taking Holland at tho rate of eight acres a day. During the hut two centuries it is estimated, 1,000,000,000 acres of land have been reclaimed from the Bea. No farmer can afford to let his cows run down in tho spring of the year. 'Ibis they aro likely to do when com ing into milk, if not given extra care and feed. India is beginning to compete with China in the cultivation and exporta tion of tea. Tho merchants of China are becoming alarmed and are seeking some means of improving China tea. Get a piece of land ready and grow a crop of corn-fodder, riant the seed thickly in the rows, use plenty of ma nure, cultivate ofteu and harvest it when tho ears are in tho milky stage. The bright spring days will cause tho young pigs to grow rapidly. Turn thenuon gruts as soon as they aro ten weeks old, but gradually at first, or they may havo tho scours. It will cofct but very little to raioo a few pigs if they be given tho privilege of small grass plot and fed twice a day. Shropshires are quite siniilur in typo anu general character to tho South down, but have darker faces and legs are somewnat larger, aim cup more wool of a superior quality. They havo neat heaus. with rather short, muscular necks, long, level, broad backs and round bodies well set upon short legs. A MassachuBetts man says that though he could not cure his hors seventeen years old of heaves by feeding him marsh hay, the disease was so subdued by its use that tho ant I.,?, . i . . mai uiu not cougn, anu snowed no signs of heaves. When feeding on upland hay was recommenced, the horse becau to cough again. Bees should bo furnibhed with water if a good supply be not close at hand. In early spring water may bo set out to them, to which may be added a little salt. Take a talt-barrel (hat has jut beon emptied, soak it in water and set it out near the apiary, and tho bees will show how they appreciate such a tonic. In order to destroy tho grub in tho crown of tho peach trees, remove the soil as low down as tho grubs aro at work : scrapo oil tho gum that has accumulated ; pour hot suds around tho stronger tho better; repeat the process again in Juno, ben tier one half to a pint of slaked lime to an or dinary sized tree. Fill tho trench thus made around the treo with fresh earth. Unless, brewers' graius aro fresh. they aro an unhealthy food ; they will very soon causo the cow's digestive or gans to become dibeased, and injure the quality of tho milk. It is for this cause that city authorities ofton for bid tne uso of brewers' grains in tho production of milk. But when brew ers grains aro feu fresh, and mixed with fodder, they niako healthy food cows. English hay is much finer than that produced in tho United States. Tho prevailing practice is to grow nothing but timothy and clover. The English my is much finer and greener than that produced in the United Statos, as t is cut at an early ttago of growth.! Thero aro 81,000,000 aera devoted to grass in the British Itle, and the1 av rige crop is threefold more than s I'Maiutd here, and is double that if i tVntiuvutal Eiutne. I HOME AND FARM. Thero aro about fivo million own ers of farms in this country. It is now conceded that ensilaga is tho cheapest cattlo food that can ba produced on a farm. Graham Cookies: Two cups sugar, one oup sour cream, ono-iialt teaspoon ful soda. Mix quickly, roll and bake. Indianapo is Sentinel. Feeding the soil is of .as much im por mice as feeding tho cattle. Plant food is bettdr than manure. An essen tial feature of good healthy soil la to be porous. To make orango cream tako ono lemon and two oranges and grate; add ono cup of sugar, ha'.f a cup of water, and one cup of rich, thick cream; boil, beat in three eggs with tho lemon and orange. Lot thicken, and sot on ico to cool. Never use sulphur on the bodies ol young chicks for gapes or any other disease. Laid and sulphur applied when in the downy state will causo sores and torture sometimes death. This we have found true, to our cost. Pullet: One quart of sifted flour. In which mix thoroughly two toaspoon fuls of good baking powder, butter the sizo of an egg, two teaspoon f uis oi powdered sugar, two eggs well beatou, mix very smooth and add ono pint of sweet milk; bako i in mediately. Z?o-. fo Budget. Canned fruits aro nearly as good during the winter, if properly put up, as when fresh, and the cxpenso and trouble of putting thorn up is not great. Mnro iiionoy is usually spent for prunes and other dried fruit dur ing the winter in families whero fruit is not put up than it would cost to pur cliaso j.irs and sugar to preserve a sup ply at home. iV. Y. Herald. Honey-Comb Pudding: Half a cup of flour, half a cup of sugar, half a cup of butter, half a cup of milk, heat these together welL Thon ad I four eggs well beaten. Into half a pint of molasses slir one teaspoonful ol soda until it foams, and add this last. Bako in a slow oven. E. it with croam sauce or beaten cream. Indiunapolit Sentinel. Many weeds may bo usod profit ably as food for hogs. Tho narrow leaved plaiutaiu possesses nearly tin samo. nutritive value as timothy, whil lamb's quarter and pig weed are bot'i highly relished by swine. It is best not to allow any weeds to grow; yet they should be utilized as much ai possible in case they havo matin growth. ECONOMY IN FEEDING. SOTIIO Of till) Mnro Important Ativan ttiL'O or Cutting Veeii. In making up a food combination foi stork, especially horses or slice), hay, oals, straw or corn fodder form some, what an important part. If fed wholt tin re is more or less loss, tho amom.l depending upon how wo feed the stocli and the condition the feodis in. Stock, if given musty hay or mouldy eon stalks, will waste mnro than if tho saint material is fed to herds that have beet poorly kept and are so hungry thi.t they an willing to eat any thing an! every thing they can got. If not givca too much at a time, thero will bo bid little loss. .Stock that are kept vigorous and hearty will often, if they can, scleu on', tho host and leave tho balance. It this way there is often considorabli los.s, that if possible it would bo weli to avoid. This is where tho principn' advantage comes in in cutting feed While of course it is always desirabli to feed as good a quality as possible, yet on the farm there will, even wit! tho most careful management, bo somi portions of tho food saved that will bt soni-iwhat inferior to tho best, and jef we must use reasonablo precaution tt feed all to the best advantage. By cutting, tho feed can all bo mixji well together, made more palatable, and is nioro easily and thoroughly digested, and tho stock will oat it ur clean, avoiding unnecessary waste. Moro stock can be kept in a gooj condition by cutting, on a givci amount of feed, than if tho same bt fed wiole. Tho principal itom to bt considered is whether tho feed savcil will pay for tho capital invested arid tho labor required. Sheaf oats, straw, clover, timothy or other hay can bo used in combination' with other materials, and tho value bi materially increased. In feeding whole, this, of course, can not bo done. For instance, if wheat straw of good qual ity anil clover hay aro cut and mixed together In equal proportions, and then wheat bran is mingled with it, wo increase tho valuo of tho combination to tho valuo of good timothy hay fed alone. In this way wo cortainly utilizo tho valuo of tho straw. Several other combinations can bo mado by cutting ii tho feed, that could not vcrv well be dono if what wo usually term rough ness is cut up line so as to bo thorough ly mixed with the othor materials. Corn fodder can bo considerably in creased in valuo by being cut and mixed with othor matorials, and the stock thus bo able to derive a much larger benefit than if fed whole, The si. of the cutter should bo determined by tho number of stock kopt. If it can te arrang.ul so that a supply can b out ahead, esneciallv d urine- ,i bnsv soason, It will Intel fero less with the more pressing farm work. lhe more important the fiMMlin. of stock upon tho farm boeomes, the irroater thu neoeattiiv of snvimr f..,i Cutting feed is one way of ecuiioii.iz iug, as well as increasing value, by combining one and another soil the ivholfl shall constitute ms neur v pei fut food as possible Fa in, Ie.
