AlTLYll^MTII.IirnS IT IXTPRTil.S.???TllO 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 stead. 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 is ready to bo plucked, the. $oil where straw berry vines stand should bo kept very moist; Every housewife should have a jar exclusive ly set apart in which to keep cream.

Sheep that have been uniformly kept will have fleeces of tho greatost strength. A week of starvation, unusual exposure to sovere wenther, or often a very colu ]>criod in winter with supposed good care, will stop tho. growth of wool and a weak place in tho fibre will bo tho result. 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 pound* the livo weight of cattle. 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 yield of milk, feed and inilk woll.

Cow peas is the groat crop for plowing undor as green manure in the south. In this sped it occupies I ho same placo as clover in tne north. The seeds will not Tipen in m northern latitudes, but- they oan always be cheaply procured, aud the crop may be sowed for plowing under. It will produce a large moss of vcgetablo matter tho first mason and is j robably better for plowing undor than any other annual. 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 the wenra of the calves you will be abla to raise fine animals on a small allowance of rnilk.??? pMiltrr breeders must not lose -sight of the double object of raising poultry???the produc tion of eggs and the production of the supply of careens. Without entering into the merit* of cither as a preference, it wiii bo well toh. -??r in mind that .certain breed* are essonli illy table birds and put on flesh inn shorter period than the cthirs aud, consequently, whether egg* are desired or carcasses, particular breeds ???hoi'Id be us'd for Ihepurpoto intended. 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 from the fowls, the following method if recom mended as tmo of the best that has been tried. Take flowers of sulphur five pounds, liquid carbolic acid one dram. Rub the acid in the sulphur thoroughly with a small nail die, amk apply through the pluff and feathers of the ben with the band, and it will not only prors an efactual application but also a safe one, as it will net interfere with the hatching of egg* or endanger the life of the chicks.
