In feeding sulphur, many mix it with the
meal for the whole flock, and then throw out
and let each fowl eat as much as it likes; but
as some fowls are very dainty, and others quite
voracious, in this way of feeding it some get
none of the sulphur; and some too much. So it
would seem prqfcrable to mix it with castor oil,
and of this mixture make pills of the size of a
small hazel nut, and then, in the morning, or
whenever the fowl’s crops are empty, give each
one of these pills. It is Suggested that it be
given when the crop is empty, because any med
icine given them is more effectual than when
given while the crop is full, besides some medi
cines have a sedative effect, or prevent digestion
—thus often leaving the crop full so long as to
cause death, unless removed by making an incis
ion, Ac.
This sedative effect es some medicines I learn
ed by giving calomel in twenty grain doses for
s welled heads, or roup, as recommended by C.
F. Morton, in your paper of Oct. 27, ’59, which,
in the case where I tried it, not only stopped
the digestion, but also stopped the breath of
some choice fowls that had cost me much money
to get, and much time and trouble in trying the
cure. I then tried the calomel on some other
roupy fowls I had left, byway of experiment, in
doses to each of from one to three grains, ac
cording to tfie age and constitution of the fowl,
and repeating the dose in a day or two if the for
mer one had no effect, at the same time keeping
the patients in a warm place, and feeding them
such food as readily digested, for a week or two;
and most of these thus treated got well. But
where in any case I have, when giving calmo
mel, allowed them to be exposed to cold and wet
they have, with one or two exceptions, died im
mediately. Perhaps the large dose of castor
oil given by Mr. Morton the next morning after
having given his twenty-grain dose ot calomel,
•carried off or neutralized the effect of most of
the calomel given before it had time to work
through or deaden the fowl’s system. In fact,
■castor-oil and dieting are, as I am informed, about
the only medicine with which that great poultry
fancier, John Gi;es, Esq., treats his fowls for the
roup, and my little experience with poultry, has
satisfied roe that if, when a fowl begins to have
this disorder, it is immediately shut in some
warm, dry place, and let fast till its crop is
empty) and then given a dessert spoonful of cas
tor oil, and on the next morning, and for a few
days thereafter, fed on light, warm food, as
scalded bran and meal mixed, repeating the
dose of oil in a day or two if the first is not ef
fectual, no remedy is more effectual and harm
less in the generality of cases than this. In ad
dition to the last, I think, in warm weather es
pecially, that cold water poured from some dis
tance above the fowl’s head, and so that a small
stream will fall on the top and sides of the head
with considerable force for five or ten minutes
every morning is very beneficial. This last Is
especially good for fowls that have injured thsir
headsby fighting. Onondaga,

FARM LIFE.
No occupation can be more favorable to the
cultivation of those qualities which are the cha*n
of the domestic circle, than the life of a farmfe
He is much more at home than is possible with
T any other man. Hpw many there are in iw
cities who only see tneir families at eveningswr
on the Sabbath 1 They live for tbeir busine®,
and this, from its location, takes them tom home
early and late. Ho wjmany, from the same cause,
forsake house keeping and huddle into boarding
houses and hotels, where tho charm and beauty
of the family, as God constituted it, is entirely
lost; and children fall under a thousand unfriend
ly influence s that would never touch them at
home. With the best arrangements wealth
could command in the city, it is well nigh im
possible to keep children under the influence of
their parents, so that they shall have a distinct
family character, and bear the moral as they do
the physical image of their progenitors. Parent
al influence is dissipated amid the varied social
influences to which they are subjected from their
earliest days.
Ninety-nine failures in a hundred among most
business men in the city, tell a tale of the per
plexities and sorrow, the corroding cares and
anguish of mercantile lifo. How can a father,
goaded with these anxieties, from the beginning
to the end of the year, do justice to his children,
even if his business allowed him to be with them
a part of the time ? He is not in a frame of
mind to superintend their education, to perform
a father's office.
The farm preserves the family in its integrity.
The home has in it that charming word, and that
more charming thing-the fire-side, around which
parents and children gather, and where the
bright and cheerful blaze upon the hoarth is but
a type of the flame of love that glows in every
heart. The parents have been drawn together,
not by sordid motives of wealth or the ambitious
desire of social display, but by the personal
qualities seen in each other. The glory of the
fireside to be husband, is that the wife is tnere:
and to the wife, that he is there who is the
head of the women, and the bond of that home
circle. Hero they gather at morning and even
ing and at noon. Their board is a'most always
surronnded with the same circle, and here they
sprnd the long winters evening together.

DRIVING SHEEP TO TEXAS.
It will be recollected that I wrote an article 1
for your paper last summer, on “Sheep in Tex
as.” Since writing that, I have had several
letters of inquiry in regard to the cost of driving
sheep to Texas, the distances from point to point
along the route, manner of crossing rivers,
camping out, outfit, to.; and I think that many
of your readers would like the same information
which I have furnished to those who have writ
ten to me. I condense the matter as much as
possible, from letters from my brother and
others, who have driven sheep from Illinois to
Texas, via Boonville, Mo.; Ft. Gibson, C. N.;
Indian territory, and Preston, Texas, on the
Red River.
The distance from the Mississippi at Hanni
bal, Mo., to the Missouri river at Boonville is,
in round numbers, 100 miles. From Boonville
to Carthage, Mo., is some more than 200 miles.
From Carthage to the Crossing of the Arkansas
river in the' Indian Territory is ;160 miles.
From Arkansas to the Red river is called by
some 180 miles, by others 200. There are three
toll bridges on the route, and the toll was usual
ly five dollars for 2,000 sheep, or more. The
streams they ferried were the Mississippi, Missou
ri Grand, Osage, and Arkansas. Ferriage usually
costs one-half cent per head. They swam their
flocks across the Canadian and Red rivers, and
all the minor streams along the route. Water
is plenty along tho road; but sometimes good
drinking water cannot be found without going a
little off the main Texas road.
In crossing the Arkansas and Canadian
rivers, drovers should be careful not to allow
sheep to feed near the river, as drovers say
there are poisonous weeds, which sometimes kill
sheep, growing along both rivers. Mr. C. Dick
mi mwwMMMM mm&x 11a vxmxsx.
son says he did not lose any, but he heard that
some had who were not careful.
Sheep have to be penned every night when
on the road, to keep them together, and preserve
them from wolves. These who are intending to
start droves this summer, would have to get
their pens in Illinois on Missouri, as rope or
cloth cannot be procured reasonably in the
“Nation.” Good yard-wide sheeting makes a
good pen. Stakes must be sewed in at the
corners, and in the middle of each side
of the pen to stretch or tighten the
cloth, making the pen octagonal. A peu made
of ropes and stakes is not blown down by winds
as easily as cloth pens, but the cloth pens do
not get tangled when rolled up, like ropes.
Drovers have to cook their own food, on the
road. Groceries must be proeured before start
ing. Flour and bacon can be obtained along
the route. A good covered wagon and team,
a portable stove, an extra horse or mule to ride,
good guns and ammunition, to supply the larder
with game, a small but good tent, are among
the necessaries in making up the outfit.
It is better to drive half way only, the first
season, as the sheep get partially acclimated
and it is too hard a drive to take sheep from
Illinois to Texas in one year. Mr. Dickson and
my brother wintered in Jasper Co., Mo., and
were satisfied that they were wise, although it
cost something for feed. Mr. D. says that he
knows one man who drove through in one year,
who had 1000 sheep, for which he paid $4 per
head in Illinois, and he lost 300 old sheep and
all his lambs; another flock of 700 now counts
but 150, in consequence of the hard drive.
Corn can usually be bought “in the shock,’ in
Missouri for 25 to 30 cents, and the prairie
grass and corn fodder with the corn will keep
sheep in good order. In the snmraer the dust
is somewhat troublesome, but after the middle
of August, the roads are good and usually free
from dust. Sheep which cost $4 per head in
Illinois are worth in Texas from $8 to $lO per
head, and the wool sheared in Missouri will
more than pay all cost of wintering and labor.
The cost of wintering in Texas is simply the la
bor of penning.
I omitted to mention, among the necessary
items of the outfit, a water keg. There are
times when it is impossible to camp on a “branch”
or stream, and a keg of water is then needed.
A good shepherd’s dog is of use, although not
absolutely requisite. A well trained dog will
take the place of one man, in driving and watch
ing.—[D. A. A. Nichols, in Country Gentleman.

THE CRAWFORD CHERRY.
This is another of the cherries imported from
France by Hon. Win. 11. Crawford, and the fruit
from which we draw up the description came
from the plantation he occupied in Oglethorpe
county, now occupied by Mr. S. Oliver. It is
one of the best of the Duke class. It does not
coinoiile with any of those we find described.—
Fruit very large, mych flattened; skin bright
red; stem an inch long; suture slight, but dis
tinct; cavity deep; flesh yellowish, full of juice,
of a brisk subacid and very agreeable flavor;
stone rather large. It is, we are informed, quite
productive. The bunch sent us was very full.
We have not seen the tree. Fruit ripens May
20th.
Apropos of the Cherry: Our last box, kindly
sent by Peters, Harden & Co., of Atlanta, in ad
dition to tho May Duke, contained the B1 ick
Tartarean, the Triumph of Cumberland, and the
Bigarceau. These sweet cherries are more dif
ficult to make succeed than tho Dukes and Mo
rellos, and we are pleased to find them succeed
so well in this latitude.
There is one great advantage the more acid
cherries have: The trees are not only hardier,
but tho birds do not molest them to so great an
extent when they ripen.
Tho Da Kalb, May Duke, Crawford, Arch-
Duke, KmSsb, Morello, and English Morollo are
all hardy trees,on which tho crop is pretty sure,
and they give an agreeable variety 'at tho des
sert in place of the strawberry and raspberry,
coming at the same season with these fruits.
All cherries must be allowed to branch near
the ground, as no fruit tree is more subject to
Bunblight if the full sun is allowed to strike the
trunk of the tree.

Cabbage Plants.—lnquiry lias been made as
to the best mode of preserving eabbago plants
from the small dark-colored beetle that has been
so destructive to them this spring. The insect
is the turnip flea-beetle (Haltica remorum),which
feeds upon all plants of the cabbage tribe, but is
most destructive to them in the young state. —
It is said that sulphur sprinkled over the plants
is of service. It is important that the plants
should grow rapidly so as soon to get beyond
their reach, as they prefer the young plants.—
Hence, in preparing the beds, use either guano,
bone-dust, some superphosphate, or fowl ma
nure. If the plants are attacked, water them
freely and sprinkle them while wet with a mix
ture of ashes and lime, covering them entirely-
When this coat of dust is thrown off, apply an
other, until the plants are out of danger. Cab
bage plants where the earlier sowings have
been destroyed, may be resown for a month yet,
and the early sorts sown as late as the 20th of
July, will make heads for winter use.

Kiaxizing Wood. —In the last Xew England
Farmer is the following recipe. As the quanti
ty required to make one of these * three parts’ is
not given, it will be of little use except among
those good at guessing. For the benefit of peo
ple living outside of New England, will our
contemporary state the amount of chloride of
Zinc required to the half barrel ? Not muchi
we hope, as it is quoted at wholesale in New
York at 18 cents per ounce.
Inquiry. —ls there any cheap and convenient
method of Kyanizing cedar stakes, hard wood,
or tamarack bean poles, Ac. ?
Reply. —Take three parts of chloride of zinc
to half a barrel or about sixteen gallons of wa
ter. Set the poles upright in this liquid, and
they will be ready for use in about a week. We
learn that stakes prepared in this manner have
been used seven or eight summers, and still re
main sound.
FEAR DOYENNE SIEDLLE.
For an opportunity to test the quality of this excellent fruit we are indebted to our neighbor,
Mr. E. Baucroft. The tree is of European origin, and was raised from seed by a gardener whose
name it bears, The tree is vigorous and fruitful, resembling considerably in habit the old White
Doyenne. “Skin greenish yellow, thickly sprinkled with green or brown dots. Stalk stout,” in.
serted in abroad, somewhat wrinkled cavity by a ring or lip; “calyx open; basin shallow; core
large; flesh white, coarse, very buttery, juicy, with a rich vinous slightly aromatic flavor.” it
ripens hero in September, and is one of the finest in its season; always large and fair; it will become
very popular variety wherever its merits are known.
CULTIVATION OF THE VINE.
A great interest is beginning to bo excited in
this country, and in the South and West, about
planting grape vines; and thinking that the
proper mode of cultivation is very little under
stood, I will proceed to describe the way I con
ceive to be best.
I generally prepare the ground to plant new
vineyarjs, by plowing very deep, say from fif
teen to twenty inches; this can bo done with
four good horses and a proper plow ; or, if the
situation is too sideling, by trenching, and well
turning up the ground, two feet deep, or more,
according to the doptli of the soil. Take the
rocks or stoue all off, and make walls to prevent
washing.
Draining will benefit the ground in two or
three ways, it prevents tho washing, and it
worms tho soil, and keep a proper temperature
in it. I proceed by harrowing, so as to make it
perfectly smooth, and then stretch a line, and
plant my vines,or cuttings,just as I have them;
if roots, which should be two years old, I have
holes made eighteen inches deep by eighteen
long, and twelve wide; I then put three or four
inces of good soil into the bottom of tho hole, |
and place evenly in it all that part from which
tlio roots spring, and the fibers being well
spread, I bind up the young wood at one end of
the hole by the side of a stake. In filling up
the hole, I use tho top soil first, and havo it well 1
tramped; the vine is trimmed to two eyes; this 1
is repeated, placing a vine\every three feet, til’. , 1
the row is completed. I lAv-off the next row
six feet from tho first, tin jfcdpnjr ground is tlilled j
up. j
Some may object to tllPjfwldth between the j
rows, preferring bat five sets"; where it is intend
ed to work with the plow Vnd harrow, six feet j -
is not too wide; at the present time, 1 would give ,
more room, say seven feet ivy four feet. After
the vines are planted, keep the ground clean
from weeds and grass; tie the vines to the stakes
as they grow up, pulling.of all but the two main
shoots; keep down tho side shots as well as tho
suckers. * I
The next spring, in March, all the shoots j
must be cut away, leaving only a stump above
the ground, with two or tlireo eyes; this will
complete tho first pruning; then two or three of
the young shoots must be carefully tied to the
stakes as they grow, all tho surplus shoots be
ing pulled off as soon as possible, while they are
tender. Tho second spring, all must be cut off
except ono of tho straightest and hansomest of
the shoots, which is to be pruned twelve or fif
teen inches long, and tied to the stake with wil
low or bark; this will comprise the second pru
ning ; then threo or four of the uppermost shoots \
must be left, and encouraged by tying them to
the stakes as tlioy grow, and removing all others
as they appear. Some of these branches will ! 1
havo fruit, which will come to perfection if taken
caro of, but had better bo pulled off.
The third pruning in vineyards, ought to be j .
done nearly like that of the year before, and tho ;
shoot left must bo one of the highest, handsom- 1 :
est, and straightest; this branch must be left
long enough to reacli the next stake, and bo ,
fastened to it. This is what we call a horizontal j
branch, or more commonly bough. The Germans
generally tie this around to tho stake in tho I
form of a hoop; a spur is left in trimming one of j
the other shoots; this should have two or three 1
eyes; the rest of the branches are to be cut off.
The spur or horn mnßt be established where it i
is likely to becomo a handsome and well grown |
vine-stock, as this horn is to produce wood for
the next year's pruning. The vine-dressor must
always keep in view not to increase too much
the hight of the stock, nor to have it made too
low, but to keep it about eigliteeft inches or two
feet high.
The next year, and at every subsequent pru
ning, the horizontal brauch must be cut off, and j
anothor made out of the shoots which have
grown out of tho horn. A very strong vine may
have two sucli branches, and if by accident no
good shoot have sprung out of the horn, to
a bough, any of the others must servo, provided
the vine appears to be vigorous. II it bo weak,
the bough must be omitted until tho nhint recov
ers its strength. Here the judgenrent of the
vine dresser must be guided by his experience. ;
Long pruning will give more fruit but will ex
haust the plant, and the fruit will not be so good
nor so well ripened.
Wherever wine is to be made from the grapes,
as soon as they are fully ripe, tho more leaves
there are on the vine when the fruit is ripening,
and the more green and healthy they are, tho
better will be the wine. It is my humble opin
ion, from what I have observed in grape growing,
although I may differ in this with some other
vine-dressers, that instead of pulling off the
leaves from the vine, as a great many do. it is
better to use all industry to prevent their un
timely fall, by keeping the ground well plowed
and clean, and by having all tho other work
done neatly and in proper season, and by de
stroying all the insects that may do injnry to
them. Happily there are not many caterpillars
that do injury to the leaves : the green worm is
their worst enemy; they eat the “seed” when
they first come out.
Tying and fastening*tlie vines to the stakes,
is a matter of urgent necessity, and can not be
dispensed with; it must be begun at the time
of pruning. First fasten your stock carefully to
the stake, then the bough or branch, tying with
osiers or willow, and a ligature done’in time will
straighten a crooked plant. Tie up the young
shoots as soon as they are long enough, which is
commonly when the grapes are about to blossom,
and repeat this as they grow. Rye straw is the
best material, but the inside bark of elm, or lin
den, or pawpaw, is also good.
Summer pruning is to be done just before the
blossoms open; break off the tips fully three
leaves beyond the last bunch of grapes.
Most of our Germans vine-dressers commit a
great'error by breaking off the young shoots that
bear grapes too close to the grapes. They pinch
too severely, leaviug only one or two leaves be
yond the last bunch, as they keep off all the
lateral shoots, which is very wrong; in that
case, the wood ripens and the leaves drop before
tho grapes are matured; therefore, so much of
poor wine is made from their grapes.
My mode of summer pruning is to take off all
the shoots that are thrown out from the main
stock near the ground, and the small ono that is
not wanted for tho next yoar; and just before
blossoming of the grapes, break off the end of
the shoots that have grapes on, three or four
leaves after the last bunch; then, if the latter
shoots come out strong, break off two or three
leaves farther; after that, let all grow that will;
then your grapes will ripen well, and be fit to
make good wine. A1 way have in view quality,
not quantity.
Mr. Editor, I feel it to be my duty to say a few
words to warn those who are not vine-dressers,
and are not practically acquainted with the
raising grapes in field culture, not to be led
astray by those theories that have been promul
gated at times bar a few individuals, on tho cul
tivation and priming of the grape, in the Cincin
nati Horticultural Society. I think those men
had little or no practical knowledg In grape grow
ing. My own jgactical experience of just thirty
years in this country, has satisfied me that the
system I have hdopted is the only one that is
safe and profitable for field cultivation in this
climate. I havo been a close observer of my
neighbors’ systems, as of my own. One thing I
will say, in conclusion: it is necessary for the
vine-dresser to study the strength of his vine, so
that when he comes to a plant, ho can tell what
it can bear, aud trim it in proportion to its
strength. At present. I prefer good cuttings,
for my own planting, to roots. I plant cuttiugs
the same way as roots, except that one is placed
on each side of the stake—two in ono place;
if both grow, one is to be removed or destroyed.

A CHEAP AND SPEEDY WAY TO SET A GRASS
PLAT.
Good blue grass sod, suitable for the forma
tion of lawns, is becoming difficult to obtaini
near our own town, having been already been
collected from every available source by those
improving their grounds. We are'sure many i/
our friends will be glad to learn how to avail
themselves of turf not quite so good. The plan
given is better and less laborious than setting
out the roots in rows. We find it in the Valley
Fanner. Bine grass likes lime or ashes as a top
dressing:
To attempt to secure a good sod upon a door
yard, or grass-plat in the garden, by sowing the
seed, is a somewhat slow and uncertain business.
To secure a good “stand” of grass in a field re
quires a good preparation of the soil, good seed
| and a favorable season ; but to secure this in a
1 small yard, exposed to shade, and liable to be
l scratched up by fowls, and trod down by children
and injured, as it is liable when sown in a yard
j near the house, it is still more uncertain than in
field culture. Ileiice, most people prefer to in
| cur the oxpense of securing turf from the fields
i and commons for sodding their yards. This is
| an expensive process, and too frequently some
i bqjly’s grounds in the neighborhood are made
to suffer a depredation to supply the turf.
At different times during last seasou, in im
proving the grounds about the homestead, we
had occasion to sod several pieces, but no rich,
thick-set grounds were convenient where we
could procure the turf entire, we therefore adopt
ed another plan. We procured less perfect sods,
cut without care and threw them into the cart
promiscuously; and after plowing Jhe ground
well to receive them, we chopped them up into
small pieces, say from one to two inches across,
more or less, and worked these under the sur
face, barley covering the roots, etc. After the
first rain these small pieces of turf sent up nu
merous blades, and in a short time the ground
became entirely covered with grass. These ex
periments were tried several times from July
to September, and always with perfect success,
though of course the latest planting did not be
come so thickly set before cold weather set in.
In all ordinary cases we should prefer this meth
od to entire seeding, even if turf was at hand,
on'account of the saving of time and expense.
Blue-grass roots are are very tenacious of life,
and when scattered in the way wo have named,
so as to cover one-quarter of the ground, will
soon spread so as to make a thick-set.”
