Low-Headed Frajt-Trecs.
In trimming fruit tree3 vre should
always be careful to secure the trunk
from the rays of the summer sun.
Solar heat, by being long permitted to
come in contact with the bark, 13 said
to scald the circulating fluids, and thus
cause many of the diseases which
affect fruit trees in thi3 climate. The
foliage only should be fully exposed
to the influences of heat, for that is
capable of bearing it unharmed, and
even to profit by it, when ino3t intense.
It has been asserted by distinguished
terraculturista that trees which are
permitted to branch out low say three
or four feet from the ground are
rarely attacked by "fire blight," "fro
zen sap blight," black spots, or other
diseases of the bark or limbs.
There is, abo, another advantage
attending this practice. The soil is
kept lighter, looser, and more free
from weeds, and there is no necessity
of mulching. The high winds pas3,
also, almost harmless over the trees,
and hive not power to twist, rack, and
break the branches, pr to detach the
fruit, as they do where the branches
aspire and are exposed. A writer on
thi3 subject says: "The trees will be
much longer lived, more prolific, beau
tiful, and profitable. They are most
easily rid of destructive insect3, and
fruit i3 much les3 damaged by falling
and the facilities for gathering it are
much greater; there is less danger in
climbing, and less danger in breaking
the limbs. The trees require les3
pruning, scraping, and washing, if the
two latter are thought necessary ; and
the roots are protected from the
scourge of the plow, which is too often
allowed to tear and mutilate them."
The proper shape for a fruit tree is
that of an umbrella reversed. When
this shape is communicated by prun
ing, the foliage is more freely exposed
to the action of the solar rays and to
the air, which ought always to have
a tree circulation amon the foliage
and fruit. . By communicating a coni
form to any tree, although it may be
rather more graceful and elegant in it3
effects upon a landscape, we certainly
injure it in many ways, if looked upon
as an object of profit. The fruit of
apple treet which grows cn the interi
or limbs, where the surrounding foli
age and branches prevent the sun's
rays from penetrating, and where the
direct influences of the heat are never
felt, is, to a certain extent, insipid;
it does not mature thoroughly, and
will not keep so long or so perfectly
as that wicagrows on the outside
branches, exposed to the sun and wind.
It also varies so much in shape, and
especially in color, that we have known
two phtes of apples selected from the
sain Baldwin tree, on'e of which was
pronounced by a skilful fruit grower
to be the Baldwin, and the other plate
another variety. N. E. Fanner,
leap over. This is capital training",,
the results of whic'i are seen in tbo-
! sfter disposition of the animals to try
their powers of jumping, when a top
rail happens to be 'off, and this accom
plished, to set ail f:nces at dr-Sir.c:.-,
and make a descent upon the c or

or hunger may prompt then:. Anoth-T"
good lesson is to open a gate but :i

the bars, force the; cittb forv. .;

teaching is shown in the determined,
spirit manifested by some cattle to .

almost every place whero a gate of

open.
It may be set down as a fixed rule.
that the most troublesome cattloin tho
country, are those which belong to
careless farmers. We attributo thid
partly to the facts above referred to,
but mcro particularly .to. tho maro .
striking one still, -that they are not '
properly fed. If you want to- rn.ako
good jumpers of jcur : cattle, h.ilf
starve them, and your object will to
most effectually . accomplished, ci-.
pecially if, in connection with tho
starving process, you compd them to.
jump three of the bar-rail?, or force''
them through a half-open gateway qr
door. We think ourselves perfectly
safe in saying that tho jumping pro
clivities of cattle are, in nine cases
out of ten, the results of tho causes'
we have named; and tho most effec
tual and certain rcmdy for this bad
habit, is first to feed them so well, that- '
they will not be tempted to jump into ,
your corn or grain field.. .Second.
When you wish them to pass through..
bars, put down all the h"--r rails,, .
and leave the "top one in i:s place,
provided the cattle can pass under it
without injury to their back3. Third.
Always make it a point to cpen tho
gates or door through which they are
te pass to their full width, cr at least .
so much that the animals can get; .
through without difficulty or danger
of having the skin torn. These- sim
ple rules observed, you need fear no
jumping cattle. If, in spita of them,'
you find, &3 is sometimes .the case,
that an unruly member of your flock
or herd will still jump, your best and
only plan i3 to send it to the butcher's
for as "one fool makes many," boojiq
jumping animal on a farm will make",
jumpers of many others, who, but for
the bad example, would havo remained
peaceable and well disposed. Farmer

How Wc Teach Oar Cattle Bad
Habits.
We arc too apt to understand the
intelligence ofthq domestic animals
under our charge and yet a moment's
reflection should teach every farmer
that cows, horses, sheep and pigs are
very apt pupils ; and most farmers
and farmers' boys are quite proficient
in teaching them to do mischief.
Thus we find many persons, when
turning stock into or cut of pasture,
instead of letting down all the bars,
leave two or three of the lower rails in
their place, and then, by shouting or
beating, perhaps force the anksafi to
Dccaj or Eoofs.
There is nothing more unpleasant
to the eyo of an order-loving farmer
than moss on his roof. Some folks,'
it is true esteem it an ornament, but
they are tho?e who sco wondrous"
beauty in moss-covered ruins,
(see last new novel,) but not ?o with
the man who loves not only neatness. ;
but who is desirous, on economical,
grounds, of preserving his roof to th-o-longest
possible period. Our excel-,
lent neighbor, of the Worliin:j Fanr.cr,
has the following on the subject, which
v'e commend to the attention" cf those"
who are about putting on new rc-ofs
"There is a barn near our farm witlV
a shingle roof fifty years old,- and tho.
shingles appear quite as bright, .and Iri
as good order as most shinglo roofs ;
at the end of the first year. When
built, it was coated with a lime wash
tinted with ochre, rn l fully charged
with glue and salt. This forme dari
agreeable color, and' lasted 'many
years; the lime present entirely pre
venting the growth of mo33, ar. 1, also

any sappy portion cf the shiegks.- .
About twenty vears since, it was agnirk
recoated, with the lime-wash tinted
with umber. ' This is 'now pretty gen
erally removed, still leaving an even
color to the shingles, a surpriiin,;
freshness of appearance.
"We suppose that lime alone put on
as a whitewash, would have answered
all these purposes, though- not so
agreeable to the eye, while the wash
tinted to resemble the color of tha
shingle, can never be unsightly." '
