adr.iilnge of applying fertilizer, at elated in
tervale in,toad of making a eingle application
nt tlic.time oi eowing seed cannot bo gainsaid.
If the fertilizer it applied after the laud is
' plowed, and no after application be made, the
jerop hot only ia put to greater exertion to Re
live plant, but tho natural result will be that
Rot only will the rains dissolve and carry it
ofT but many qf the substances are either dis-
... polled in the atmosphere or becotno,. by.chem-
ical cot ion, portly inert. Tho plant will
. thrive belter when fed on small quantities
??? often t'aan on large quantities less frequently.
' ^Eherc is a similarity in that respect between
A plant and an animal that is surfeited at
times and sparingly fed at others. Tho food
must always bo within easy access, instead of
i grad tic lly diminishing u9 tho plant advances
. in growth.
. In some experiments made with corn, using
guano nt the rote of-200 pounds per aero, in
??? connection with the same quantity of supor-
phosphate and kainit, a former last season
, fertilized his corn, for comparison, by two
??? different methods. On one acre he applied tho
. mixed fertilizer at the time of patting in the
' peed. On the other plot ho applied ouo-third
at the time of seeding, one-third when tho
crop was aboufclhree foot in height and the
other third after the corn had begun to tassel.
. After each application, except tho Inst, the
; cultivator was used betweeu the rows, tho
corn having been planted wido euough to ad
mit of good cultivation both ways. But little
??? difference in growth was observed at first,
though tho field which had received the three
applications gave a greener tinge when the
corn was about to tassel. It also filled out
. hotter, grew taller, gave a larger proportion of
fodder and yielded 20 p??S* cent more corn.
Experiments have Also been tried with fer
tilizers on oats in somewhat the same manner.
A Georgia fanner rejiorU that he mod 150
pounds of guano on three separate plots, each
receiving that quantity. On the. first plot ho
Used all tho guano nt once, before sowing tho
Bccd. On the second plot he used one-half tho
quantity at the time of seeding, and one-half
nt tho timo tho oats were shooting. On the
third plot he used one-third tho quantity at
seeding time, one-third at tho time of shooting,
mid one-third when the oats were in blossom.
Tho weight of the sheaves on tho first plot
Was 100 pounds, on the second 147, and on the
third 108. On a trial upon rich and poor soils
the advantage was lnrgely in favor of fertiliz
ing poor soils at intervals. Experiments wore
thon made on two other plots with homo made
compost, and tho results wore equally in favor
of the application of the compost at' different
periods, ,
As tho above experiments were made in two
different sections, they are more valuable than
may be supposed. If wo can increase tho
yield of crops by gradually feeding them in
stead of putting in a largo quantity only at
??? the timo of seeding, the quantity of fertilizer
may bo lessened in order to get only tho avor
nge yield, but as that course would bo of n<
. advantage, the full allowance may bo used,
relying upon the increased yield as corapon-
Bation for tho extra lubor required, which^
however, is not greatly. We commend tho
experiments, and trust that during the noxfe
Bcasou our readers will experiment in this dl-
rcction, as from our own observations and the
tests mado by others, we boliovo satisfactory
and valuable information may bd acquired
Small Farms Fropitaiilk.???The owner of
??????-fifty acres of good ground who thoroughly un
derstands his business is better situated than
his neighbor who owns 200 acres and farms
according to the old theories. Tho small
farmer lias lees ??? investment, pay loss taxes,
and cultivates moro carefully thanttho largo
# former. In Franco and Germany tho???farm*
are generally very small, often not afourth ot
the size of overage American farms, but they
are worked so carefully that, while steadily
..increasing in fertility, tlmy still produce a
great deal moro per acre than our own. Tho
??? owner of many acres is ant to neglect tho
.. poorer portions of his ground, and thus manur
ing, rotating and cultivating art) reduced to a
System that produces tho best possible results.
An example of German gardening will illus
trate tho point. Within three miles of Fort
Jerv is lives-a German family consisting of six
or seven persons. For years they have lived
on a strip of sandy laud less than two acres
In size, a part ol which is covered by tho
dwelling, a bam and outhouses. The woman
of the family, on able-bodied and intelligent
person, who had learned her work in U.idcn,
cultivated tjiis pcicc of ground, and tor a
scries of years supplied her table with vege
tables and sold from $301) to $100 worth of
vegetables annually. Every inch of room wos
occupied. From early spring to late autumn
crop aftercrop of lettuce, beets, spinach, cab
bage, potatoes, corn, beans, mangold, wurzels,
asparagus, onions, endive, egg plants, poppors,
Falsify, cauliflowers and other plants appeared.
Every bit of wasto material fit for the parposo
was thrown on the coro]>ost heap or turnod
Into liquid manure, and the naturally storilo
piece of grouud was mado to pay for itself aver
and over again. Tho fences were built in
trellis form To support grapevines, and not a
square inch of ground escaped tho payment of
tribute exacted by tho indefatigable womfiu
Who tilled it. Her methods are those in
steady use in Germany, where orcrcrawdod
population hM rendered neecseary tho thor-
??? ??? oughcet working of tho. soil. Her plant# for
getting ara tho first in the market, and she is
rtc last in the autumn to offer fresh vegeta
bles for the tabic. To such a farmer fifty
* acres of good land would bo a fortune. It is
aueh tillage as this which makes it possible
for French, German, English and Italian
.holders of twcnty-acro or thirty-acre farms to
???Siam a living, while American holders of
. farms, of equally good land, ranging from 100
to 600 acres, work about as hard and oro for
ever under mortgage and on the very verge of
bimkruptoy.' The future will certainly wit
ness a groat revolution in American farming,
and one/of tho features calculated to bring
about a better state of affairs will be tho di
vision of land into smaller farms and tho
consequent improvement in agricultural
method*.???Orange County Farmer.
To Have FaciT.???Mr. Kynaston, a success
ful English lruit grower, writes that as a rulo
fruit failure* aro more the result of bad man
agement than anything else. In illustration
he says a fruit??? tree has three kinds of roots,
C??ch with its oWn special function.
1. A tap root/??? going down perpendicularly
from the trunk,tomply to give a Arm support
to the tree. This should not be meddled
^2? Long roots. corresponding to the branches
of the tree, which supply the nutriment for
These should be pruned
such growth.
| t feeding rdots, which are
Small and thickly clustered round the trank
efthe tree. These are to be cultivated and
nourished thgt they may supply the fruit-
making materials*
To restore a fruitless tree to its proper func
tion, prune away surplus wood among the
* branches, but leave enough for fruit. This
-*??? may be best done in autumn. In the spring,
when the tree b about to blossom, dig a trench
about it from four to six feet from the trunk???
according to the size???and about a foot in
depth, and cut off the spreading roots. If the
tree be small this can be done with a sharp
spade. This will check the growth of wood
ond allow-tlie life force of the tree to be chiefly
expended upon its fruit. .
The next point is to feed the starving fruit
rooters. As soon as the blossoms appear, do
what the gardener in the parable ot tn i barren
fig-tree proposed to do???dig about hud manure
it. Carefully open and loosen the soil within
a yard of the trunk, and moisten It daily with
liquid manure, a bucketful to a small tree, and
two or three to larger ones???half common ma
nure and half water; and, Mr. Kynaston in
sists, all sewage and sude from the house,
jvhich, os the waste matter of human, fruit
eating creatures, is just the material needed
by the tree to manufacture into fresh fruits.
Guano also does well, and tho sweepings of the
henhouse. The great point is to provide tho
matter of which fruit is made at tho right time,
in the right place, ond in sufficient quantity.
The right time is from tho flower to the full
grown fruit.
The right quantity is enough. The roots
will not absorb more than they need. What
remain* will be good for next year year. Tho
trees will be none tlie worse for a winter crop
of cabbages or other hardy plants.
In one cose Mr. Kynaston restored on old
worn'tut, neglected orchard to such vigorous
bearing that the trees had to be propped up
to keep them from breaking down with tho
weight of fruit.' Trees that hail not homo
fruit for fifteen years were rcstorod to vigorous
bearing in irsinglc season.
lie eiiysns fruit is ono of nature???s medicines???
being nt one and tho same timo cooling, diges
tive oml health-giving???and is besides tho
direct alternative to tho white bread, tough
meat (as a rule) and other astringent food,
which wc daily and so'lrtrgcly nnrtako of???its
moderate use is therefore absolutely essential
to our well and perfect being???consequently Its
proper cultivated would greatly odd to our
individual und national interests.
Turkey Farmi.no.???In tho mbuntainour dis
tricts of our state, the breeding of turkeys for
maiket is carried on to a large and profitable
extent, and even in eastern Virginia, although
the conditions of forming are quite different,
large flocks ore sometimes raised. As the
fowJ, however, cannot bo confined to a naivow
range, and is so destructive to the peanut crop
in the Inst stages of its growth after tho peas
l ave fotmed, larmers os a rulo have discon
tinued turkey raisiug; preferring to go with
out their Christmos turkeys, or to buy from a
distance, than to be subject to annoynuoo from
flecks of their own. A flock of one or two
dozen will piny havoc in a field of peanuts in
a short time, and destroy enough poos to tako
off nil the profits that can possibly accrue from
thcanle of the flock. And they are almost
equally destructive to coru or tho fiold pea. To
raise turkeys profitably they must have a wido
ranee at a distance from any crop that they
would injure, touch as corn, peas, small grain,
or peanuts. Potatoes of cither kiud, or tobac
co, they will not harm, and the tobacco or
cotton planter is better prepared to raise tur
keys on a largo scale than growers of other
crops.
'1 lie sc facts have suggested to us tho idea of
suggesting to our oast Virginia people tho
propriety of turkey farming as an exclusive
business, and apart from grain or peanut*
fanning. We have the advantage of being
near the great markets, our country and cli-
mntc are as well adapted to raising this fowl us
any other, perhaps, on tho face of the earth,
and there is ample room in the wide districts
at present scarcely utilized for any purpose.
Large fields and farms at n distance from any
cultivated field are to be hod W???ithout difficul
ty, which could bo fixed up for this business
at little cost. In fact, there are many farms
so niu down asio be no longer profitable for
cultivation that would moke admirable ranges
for the turkey. They liko a wido field where
weeds grow and grasshoppers ami other in
sects abound. They are great foragers, and
arc cheap to raise, requiring but littlo corn, if
They have plenty of room to hunt for insocts.
Turkeys aro profitable. At seventy-five cents
to one dollar apiece for them in Decembor,
they pay well, providing they Jhnvo not do
fitroyed* too much of tho standing crops. Ii
provided with separate farms or ranges this
would bo obviated. East Virginia could raise
its thousands and ten of thousands. Women,
children, or men incapable of heavy labor
could perform the duties incumbent upon the
business. It is entirely feasible, os feosiblo or
hog or cattle raising, and much less expou
sivc. It is suited to the persons of small means.
It could bo carried on in conjunction with
other poultry.???Petersburg Index-Appeal,
, Repairixq ( ??04i>,3.???Our prqsont systom of
repairing (7) roods is a lorco ond a waste.
Heretofore 1 have paid my road tax In money
been me my time and my men???s timo can bo
made worth more thon u dollar a day. But
when I saw how the money was wasted and
riven hero-and there, to this man and th
if tie jobs which were doubly "lobs,??? I con
cluded to work out my taxes iu the usual way.
I need hardly naf what o way this is. The
roadsides, weeds, grass, stones, mud and sand,
oro scraped and the rubbish is thrown into tho
middle of tho road. The first rain makes
mud of it, the next dry spoil turns it to dust,
and in a week or month the soft stuff is worn
or washed bock whore it was brought from ???
except the stones, which remain on tho road
to knock off the horses shoes, break tho
wheels mid double the labor of tho homos and
wear them out far too soon for tho farmer???s
profits. The custom is one of the most sonso-
less and wasteful that could bo dovisod.
Cats ox the Farm.???A correspondent of tho
American Agriculturist says cats ought to havo
an honored place on tho farm, but too oftou
they have no place nt all. This is bccauso
they are kept at tho house, fondled by tho pet-
loving children, und fed by tho kind-hearted
women, until they become Inz^und worthless.
The furmcf estcemscats less highly than dogs,
but tho former are sometimes of tho greater
value to him. Darn cats should rorely bo al
lowed to conio to the house, and never bo fed
there. All that they need is plenty of milk;
compt*! them to get tho rest ??f their living,
ond they will find it about tho barn, graua-
ries, cribs, sheds and in the fields. A good
moustr <s worth ten cents a day about a gra
nary, crib or barb. Mico not only dostroy
ram, but make it filthy for stock; they nib-
ule socks and implements, and do much other
mischief. A good rat will destroy large rats
as well os the young ones. We. have an old
Maltese Tom, wjiich gets Ids living by catch
ing ground mice in the orchard and garden,
oml is therefore a valuable cat. At tins sea
son, when horns, granaries and cribs are filled,
a cat is doubly useful. Givo Tom und Tabby
u fair trial, and you will alwuys keep cats.
Sugar Cams for Cows.???It has been said
that cows ure very fond ot sugar cans and cat
it greedily, ond therefore every farmer should
have a patch of sugar .cano for cows. Now
this by no means follows; for cows will' eat
reedily many things that ore not good for
' - , And sugar is not good, for milking
cows. I know this became I have been feed
ing cows for some years j??ast with espcciul
relerence to tho yield of milk ond butter from
various fools, ami I have found that sugar
cane???that is, sorghum???although eaten very
greedily, causes a serious loss of milk and
butter. It would be just.ns reasonable to say
that cows are very loud of meal, therefore
every farmer should lei his cows hare tho run
of the meal bin.
Sixflowrr Bekdfor Fowls.???In much the
same way ws have been told how good is sun
flower seed for fowls. This is a device of the
seedsmen who sell the so-called ???mammoth
???unll<>t??*r seeds??? for twenty-flvocents o packet.
Ths seed of tho sunflower Is very full of oil,
containing from thirty to forty pu*r of it;
and Ibis, by the wav, is made an inducement
for farmers to buy the seed, as if a farmer can
go making sunflower oil to occupy his very
rare leisure minutes. Oily food is not good
for poultry; it tends to fat and to disorder the
liver Slid produce that fatal disease known as
cholera. A bushel of wheat can be raised
more easily than os much sunflower seed, and
will be worth several limes as much^for mik
ing eggs and flesh. Moreover, it is a good
deal of trouble to cure the sunflowers, and one
attempt will cure a desire to grow them. This
also 1 know from personal trials of it.
Killixg IxsRcrs^-Anotber thing is # very
slain to even a bliud man???if ho coQbt only
rear. and that is the reckless advice loose
deadly poisons for killing insects. This ad
vice conies chiefly from etymologists, and so
far as a professional opinion is concerned, is
no dcutt correct, as Paris green will certainly
kill any animal or insect that takes it into Iu
stomach. But when we are advised to shower
% pic tress and grape vines witn Paris green,
to put it upon cabbages, young and old, melons,
squash, cucumbers and other plants which,
are eaten, then' it becomes a reckless risk
which every person should be taught to avoid.
It is bad enough if we think wo have to use
it to save our potatoes, without using it for
other punwses. No doubt inauy eases of
poisoning by other supposed causes may bo
aue to tho reckless use of Paris green about
farina and farm houses.-???A. Wake.
Floral Culture.???It is often discovered
during tho summer season of growth that a
bedded plant, as a rose, is giving all its power
to a sprout, while tho desired shoot is being
starved or smothered by the luxuriant wilding.
To cut away this latter all at once, leaving
only the nuuy shoot to digest all the supply of
the strong roots, would bo too sudden and vio
lent a change. A much hotter medium way
is to l*end clown ths robber shoot or shoots and
fasten the tip down with a weight or .a forked
peg, slid then stop all further growth of it by
pinching tho tips. The shoot Jr^m the bud or
graft will gradually take the sap, become vig
orous and malm sound, ripe woo'd bolero win
ter.???B.
New MKtnon of*Prkservixg Grapes.???A
Paris horticultural journal give* a new pro
cess for preserving grapes frosh f????r several
months. It is au improvement on the process
now extensively cm ploy oil in France, by
which ths stems are immersed in pottles of
water to prevent shriveling. Tho inventor of
the process is. a nurseryman of Villiers. He
described it ai follows: ???Toward ths end of
October I cut the shoot with tho clusters at
tached, sharpen the lower end to a point and
stick it into a potato. I spread the bunches
out on straw or dry hay, so that they shall not
touch each other. Thus prepared, tueso shoots
keep quite as well as if tho shoots with tho
bunches attached wore inserted in bottles
filled with water.??? It. is probably essontial
that the grapes bo placed m a dry, cool room.
Goon Plowiko ak Art.???There are not many
good plowmen. One reason, probably, is that
low men understand tho art of setting a plow
so that it will ruu easily for both team and
holder. The plow should run level, tho point
neither digging downwards nor turning up.
It is but tho work of a miuuto to set the plow
right for ono who understands tho business.
Good plowing is an art; bad luck will bo tho
fate of the country should it over bccomo ono
of the lost arts.???Journal of Agriculture.
Packixo Grapes.???A writer in tho Cultivator
and Country Gentleman suggests the following
modo for pocking grapes: Tho baskets oro 18
inches long, 12 inches wido and 0 inches deep.
They are padded with clastic moss, und faced
with brown paper, and the nocking began at
tho lower end, tho bunches being placed closo-
ly together with points downward. It is very
important that tho baskets be solidly And com
pactly filled to prevent rattling. The??? lids,
lined with paper, oro pressed down modor-
ately. 9
The Time to Bell Stock.???Wo arc often
asked, when U therbest time to sell stook? Oar
answer is, wheuever it is ready. Tho farmer
cannot afford, for instance, to hold his oattlo
for six cents when they aro fat and tho
market will afford but five. The cost of the
feed, risk, contingencies of tho market will
overcome any possible advanco nine timos out
of ten. Ws have triod. is a fow timos and
learned a lesson. It is not safe for a farmor to
speculate, and to hold stock that have reached
the munximum of profitable growth Is tho
worst kind of speculation.???Iowa Homo

Farm Notes,
The American Cultivator thinks it absurd to
eupposo wo cannot make beet sugar in this
country as well as in Europe, but wo have tho
advantage of sorghum as a source in place ot
the beets.
Growing strawberry plants need a generous
supply ofwnter. From the day when the first
blossoms appear until the well-developed fruit

Sheep that have been uniformly kept will
have fleeces of tho greatost strength. A week
of starvation, unusual exposure to sovere

Bir J. lL-Lawcs says that of dry food eaton
by sheep it has been found that those animals
stored tip in increased weight 12 per cont.,
while cuttle only laid up in increased weight M
per cent.; or, in other words, eight and a half
pounds of dry foods increased the live weight
of sheep as much as did twclvo aud a half

Tho great flow of milk of cows is truly arti
ficial. Iu a state of nature tho cow gives only
tho necessary quantity aud gives it only tho
necessary time to sustain tho calf. The greater
and longer yield of milk is the result of battor
fuelling, bettor treatment and longer timuipu-
Inti* n of the teats. Henco, to increase tho

The use of blood as a food for cattle has, U is
???toted, been the subject of experiment in Don^
mark by a chemist, who, as a result, has now
invented and patented a now kind of cako in,
which blood forms one of tho chief ingre
dients. This new forfd is said to l* exceeding
ly nutritious and wholesome, and Is oaten with
aridity by all sorte of animals, and even by
cows and horses, which havo naturally a strong
dislike to the smell ot blood.
Fiofessor Henry says: ???I would urge that
ir farmers givo more oats to young si
colts os well os calves. There Is no food
easily attainable that will so well correct
acidity of the stomach and keep tho whole!
system in good order. To those who wish to
raise calves on very littlo milk I would s ty,
use oats and oil meal fresly, and bv stu lying

An Am*ricoh who visited Fra/ice says the
gardeners are very careful about the' manner
of galhe. ing their asparagus. They siy that
the neat asparagus knives advsrtitcd in tho
catalogues are intended for delicate people who
are efrnid of roiling their fingers, and the only
prof er * ay is to pick th** shoots by hand.
They consider it quite important to break
them off at the point where they arc unit*! to
the rcot, rather than in the ground above this
point, as w<* usually do.
To remove lice from hen houses, and alio

it will net interfere with the hatching of egg*

After trying numerous remedies for rheumatism;
but without permanent relief, I was advl??c*l to use
H. 8.8., wblce had given permanent relief toother*
luff* ring from rheumathm. After taking half a
dozen bottles I found that the disease was entirely
driven out of my system and a permanent cure so-
lured. This was over a year ago, and sines then,
even during our most severe weather, with sodden
changes, I haro never suffered a return of the old
attack* which disc bled me from editorial work.
ft I* very seldom. Indeed, that I recommend
anything to the pubUein this manner, but I feel ft
due to your valuable preparation, that has given
me such long desired and much needed relief, to
state those facts Urn- pnMb ly. I am sure but for
your Hi eelfic, I should have been laid aside from
|cnrealistic work, ss tbe severest attack was in my
right arm and baud. Sipwav Hrasioty^
