IV e are not going to advise a ny of our friends to reach so high as the moon to deaden trees or plant .cabbage, or toes; but there is a difference in results from deaden ng or girdling or ‘ hel tin-at the different seasons of the O ) car. We believe that April and May, when the sap is rising rapidly, is better th.au that it is better not to cut out the chip, iftbe work is honestly per formed. It is not often that time cm be spai" cd in the Spring, but it labor can be had it will pay to deaden in May. In fact it will pay at any time in the year, when there is a leisure day even on land you never expect to plow. There is a great deal of timber unfit for rails or fence, which might well be out of the way, so as to let in stock sunshine, and bring up grass for the stock.. Kill all the Useless timber, and you have a wood pasture with but little additional ex pause We do not like the custom of gird ling small trees, those les3 than eigli f inches in diameter, three ot lour loot above the gr und. It is supposed by some that the tree is rot so liable to send out sprouts, but it is not according to our experience. We advise you to "deaden,” outside the field, but al.vays tree”—the pecan.— if C. Fattening Poultry.—The Lon don Times states that poultry properly tel will acquire all the fatness needed f.>r marketing purposes, in a fortnight three wecksi’l most- iheir diet should be Indian corn, oat barley meal scalded in milk or water —the former is the best as it will expedite the fattening process. They should be fed early in tyje morning, at noon and also in the evenin'! just before <roing to roost. A plentiful supply of fresh water plenty ~f gravel, sliced cabbage or turnip tops If the fowls are require 1 to be very fat, some trimmings of tte>h mutton suet may be chopped up and scalded with their other feed, or they may be boiled in milk alone and poured over the meal This renders the flesh firmer than it otherwise would be. When fit to ki.l feeding should be stopped Uelve hours or more, that the intestines may become comparatively empty. E G. ASKS if a good colt can be grown upon straw and oats alone. V> e answer yes. r lhe oat is the most ap pro! riate grain to feed a colt, and the straw will give him diges'ion. \ou should feed oats with straw and learn the colt‘to cutboth togther. Many horses seem to have on instinct leading them , , cit the grain and straw or hay to gether. We have seen a horse take h little grain or meal and then a little hay, mixing with the straw and moistened, the colt will not eat ton much, and will grow with great rapidity. I) )n~t be afraid ol the cost ot feeding c ilts, every dollars worth of extra food given will increase the value of \,e cult mare than two dollars. Lice jSfok Journal.
