It may not do so every year, but for a num ber of years I know it will be so. I know it has been so in my case and will be so with every one that tries it; tfutr the great difficulty with manyis they never think of feeding grain to either cattle or sheep, until they get so poor that they are afraid they will lose them; then it is like feeding roast pork and beans to a man recov eringirom a fever ifcwill do harm. The right way is to begin feeding grain when the stock is in good "con dition, and,keej) them improving all the time.,, In these few lines is a sermon which every stock raiser should commit to memory. Yet I fear not so many have improved on its teaching as shuld have done so. -. It-is from good authority what Johnston don.t know about stock raising, is not worth knowing and then it is sound sense. If we would have our cattle bring us quick returns, we must Eend " them along while young; unless we give them a good start, they will not only be slow in reaching the period of pro fit, but they "will never reach the highest point. JSow is a capital time to p"uOlr. -Johnston's precepts into practice.!-- Corn is worth two cents a pound-an'd oats a cent and a half; and as Mr. J. says, thereis nothing like corn and oats chopped together to give a cow or youngster bone and muscle heart. Begin now, brother farmers ;. butter is high, grain is low. The-feed trough is the best market you can carry it tc. A bushel each of corn and oats will give you 75 pounds of feed clear of the millerjs, toll and waste; this at 45 centS'for oats and $1.-12 for .corn, will eost?you1very little over two cents .per pound. Give each one ofyour cows 200 pounds and the young things a proportional amount from now to pasture, and you will have made a capital investment. Cor. Country Gentleman. Hanging Baskets.

No. JO wire is quite small aioughjor the top wire, while ma"ny prefer to uso No. 9, as being still more secure. All the other wires may be of No. 12 which Is sufficiently strong for. these; as trellis, when it gives wayat all, always.does so at the top Iirst. bo long mereiore as me tup wire is secure the whole trellis is safe. .Tht'se remarks , of: course apply only to the wires anil not to the posts. These latter should be of good size, considerably larger ;than a heavy fence-rail and should be set not less than twoeet imthe ground. Set the posts py a line drawn the whole length of the trellis, "selecting a.straight side on the .post to receive thewires and placing this in contact with the line. " Too much care can jiot be taken in making the trellis as near straight as possible, so that most of the labor of .cultivation may be done with the plow and cultivator. AUtheposts should be well rammed of the trellis will soon be out of line. When the posts are all in line we are ready for the wires. Bore holes some thing less than half an inch in diam eter through or across a corner of each end post to receive the -wires. This work can be done rapidly with a bit stock aud a twisted or auger-bit of the proper size. There are two common methods of attaching the wires to the intermediate posts, namely: by sta- nles and by nails.- Staples are good butare somewhat expensive. If they hare used they should not be driven quite "home" but left projecting suf ficiently to allow an easy movement" ofrthe wire in straining. Nails are cheaper and answer the intended pur pose equally well. Eight-penny fence is the "correct thing" for the lower nail, that is, the one on which eech wire is to rest. Drive it at a sharp angle pointing downwards into the' post,. and after the' wires are all on, go over the whole trellis and secure the wire at each bearing by driving a shihgle or lath nail above it. In put ting on the wires, it will be found most convenient to begin with the top one, aud strain it before proceed ing with the others. The trellis being completed the next operation will be that of tying the vines to the wires. If the vines are in their third summer this is a very sim ple matter If the horizontal-arm sys tem is the one chosen, it is only neces sary to tie the -canes which are to compose the arms securely, but rather loosely, to the lower wire. With those who are accustomed to handle them, shoots of willow is the favorite material for spring tying. But there are many who cannot readily obtain willows and must therefore substitute some other material. The cheapest substitute known the writer is the threads of gunny bagging. The wrappings taken from the" bales of gunny bags, can be purchased for five or six cents per pound, and when cut into stips just wide enough to give the required lencth to the threads for tying, affording a convenient mate rial which will last through the season. Let each man carry a strip of this cloth slipped under a cord worn as a belt and he will findit very con venient to draw, the threads from the cloth as they are used in tying. dolman's Jiural World.? - m i i Raising Calves. - Thereas a common practice among many breeders, fo allow the calf to run with the cow for several weeks or months, and obtain its own food, in its own way. Especially is this prac ticed, when men expect a very fine animal, as in the case, of blooded stock, when they desire to make the "most that is possible out of the calf. The belief is, that the calf will do better, grow faster, and become a bet ter animal when grown. There is one thing to recommend this method, and and that is, that it is eminently natural. It is nature's method, and it is held that we cannot possibly im prove on that. This natural way of crettiug. food; is admitted by all to be- thebestia the case of infants of our own. genus, and if so for our offspring,, why not in other, and analogoMs cases? This is one side of the question there is another. Experience has demonstrated Ito my mind it is adem- -one'tration,) that calves can be as welf raised apart from the dam and it is farTfetler fdrthtf latter to have1 itP'so: A. enw that is desiuned to milk, will not vield so much after having sucked acalf for a while, as she would do, If "tlie calf had been taken away at the outset. And she cannot be brought into the milk yielding condition that was possible, for her. To keepa cow up to the largest flow of milk, it is es sential that she should be milked j-egularly and clean. This the calf never does. The calf should be taken from the cow immediately, .and the latter should be milked regularly, aud care fuUyt and,themilks fed to Jhe calf, or as much of it as may be" necessary. Give, the sweet milk as it isdrawn, up:fcf the'-ninth or tenth milking, and once between, that is, at noou. When the milk of the cow is good for use, begin to feed the calf sweet skimmed milk, j and the change' from this to sour miiK can oe easily eneeieu lruone gradually The nutritive properties of milk are but slightly decreased by skimming off the cream. The cheese is nearly all left in tho milk, and this contains far more nutriment than the butter that is taken away. Calves will thrive on it, when properly cared for. As fcoon asjthey will eat it, they should be given some fine hay, nothing bet ter than Rowen for this, and they should be kept warm, dry, and com fortable. For spring calves It is not necessary that milk be given them after they are three, or at the latest, four months old. Good pasture after that, with an J abundant supply of pure water, will make them come on finely; The milk, however, may be kept up through the entire summer with benefit, with is not fhnt rpjison lit should De oi larger size JLi. it. little bran, or oat-meal In it.

North Western Farmer. m From the Western Pomologist How toIKaiscForest Tree's. To have success In planting tree seeds, the following conditions must be observed c First th seeds must bo freBh, and then be planted as nearly as possible in nature's way. She does not plant them de'ep as people plant potatoes and corn, but she covers them, very shallow with a coating of suriimer leaves, which affords the best possible protection for the seeds, which generally germinates success 'fully .with ther warmth of Spring. Therefore we should bear in mind not to cover them too deeply. As a gen eral rule, as deep as the seed is thick will answer, and then the qovering should be very light and friable'; leaf mould, leaves, rotten straw or grass, or sonie substance. When tree seeds cannot be planted as soon as ripe, they can be kept for a time in l early dry sand, being careful not to put too large quantities in a mass. It will be useless to plant seeds of walnuts, hickories; oaks, ehfc3tnutsf hazle nuts, and such- like, after they are thor oughly dry, as they will not vegetate. Some seeds vegetate as soon as they fall to the ground, without any cover ing, whatever ; .among which are the white elm, -red and silver maple. Perhaps most failures are to be attri buted to planting too deep, and on unsuitable soils. Give each kind of natural soil as near as can be. The swamp trees do not grow well on dry land, and vice versa. 1 will give a list of trees for particu lar soils, and some directions how to manage evergreen seeds, whicli are more difficult to grow than the seeds of decidious trees. Trees for Different Soils Evergreens from Seed. For dry claj- soil : White oak, red oak, sugar maple, beech, &c. For wet Clay loam : Burr oak, swamp oak, of several kinds, linden, white ash, red ash, black ash, red and silver maple, honey locust, whiteelm, hickory, &c. For dry sandy land: Pitch pine, red pine, Jersey pine, red cedar, &c. For"' rich or moist sandy land.: Black walnut, butternut, hackberry, hemlock,spruce, firs, magnolia, papaw buckeye, sweet gum, larch, &c. The best plan to raise evergreens from seeds, is to prepare a bed of sandy loam, (one-half sand, and one half leaf mould,) on the north side of a building, or high fence; around it boards should be set edgewise, so as to. be a foot above the bed; in this bed plant the seeds in the fall or spring, barely covering them. They must not get too wet or dry. A person can regulate the moisture or shade by hav ing narrow strips of boards, not over two inches wide, to lay on the frame, leaving space between as required by the weather, or the whole can be cov ered with glass or muslin, always giv ing air to the plants. W. C. Hamptox, Mt. Victory, Ohio. m Surface Planting of Trees. The roots of trees generally strike downward from the surface of the earth, when there is not some impen etrable obstruction to hinder their ramification through the soil.-None except the" annual feeders near the surface of the ground are found to tend upward, as they push out from the main root or branch of a root. In case a tree is planted too deep, a new system of roots will be thrown out from the stem, one or two inches be neath the surface of the soil. No triatter how deeply tap roots and branch roots may be sent down ward, it is a habit of fruit trees to produce a complete: system of roots, rootlets, fibres and feeders' so near the surface of the earth, that the countless num ber of minute mouths may imbibe the moisture and plant food soon after the small jarticles begin to descend from the surface. A knowledge of the facts warranted an experiment in planting trees direct ly onthe surface of the ground. In the spring of 1843 when I was planting the first trees for my own orchard, there were a few palceswhere holes could not be dug with a spade, aswthe earth-for several feet in depth was composed with fragments of slate and small boulders Neithercould thegroundbe plowed. A thick and rough sod of Kentucky blue grass rested, on the surface; but roots of trees spread amongtthe stones without difficulty. Hence, I resolved to try the doubtful experiment of setting trees without digging any holes. Stake holes were first worked down among the stones with a crow-bar, and stakes were driven in firmly to support the trees. The roots were then spread out on the grassy sod as a tree was held near a stake, after which a few bushels of mellow soil were shoveled from a loaded wagon around each tree, suf ficient to cover the roots" with about two inches of mellow dirt. The body of each tree was then tied firmly to the stake, and the surface of the ground Tound about the trees was mulched with cosrsd, strawy barn- -yardwmanure, covering an area, of about eight feet m ammeter, irieces of boards, old rails and trush were laid on the mulch to prevent fowls from removing the coarse material. Amid the sneers of those who knew that such a mode of planting was superlatively rediculous, and could never" prove satisfactory, I waited in doubtful suspense, for the result. The trees that were set in mellow ground, around which the surface was clean and free from vege tation, grew afew inches higher and broader, while every tree that was set on the grassy surface, threw, out branches of good ripe'wood laterally and vertically from one to four feet in length. The last season some gentle men called to learn the secret'or such a wonderful growth, and measured the new wood, just before the leaves had fallen, and found many branches overfour feet in length... After the first yea? the branches didnot grow faster than those on-other trees. Every tree that was planted on the surface succeeded in a most satisfactory man ner, and yielded as much fruit a&any others. In 1S68 1 saw them bending beneath a bountiful burden of fruit. In after years I planted many trees on tho grassy surface, always with the most satisfactory results. On stony fields, Jn rocky dells and on lawns, where the ground cannot be plowed, and where disturbing the sod is objectionable, there is no more sat isfactory way of planting trees of any kind, or bushes, than to spread the roots out on the sod, and cover them with mellow earth; then mulch the surface. j " Sep.exo Edwabds Todd. . i. wl 1 J.J-ilVl JC...

Good Farming Implements are the basis of success in making the farm pay. Without these, though the soil and climate are favorable, farming In the nine teenth .century cannot be made profitable, as thebasis of all prices is upon that which can be produced most successfully, with the least labor, In the greatest quantity, on a given amountof land. The first requisite to farm ing Is a good Plow, one that will scour readi ly in alL soils, and is made of the best mate rial upon scientific principles based; upon the experienceof centuries. The Canton Clipper Plow will be found the plow combining these qualities In the greatest degree. As Corn Is the-staple crop of this section, n good Corn Planter Is a desideratum to profitable fann ing not to begot alongwithout. Such an one Is Selby's Union Com Planter. Tho next Implement Is a good Cultivator; such Is Par lln's Walking Cultivator. It Is easily man aged, does Its work 'well, with case to the horses, and is durable. In small grain an Implement Is needed that does Its work well In all kinds of grain, In all conditions and positions; one that works as well In grass as grain, and is of light, uniform draft on the horses. This means the John P. Manny .Reaper and Mower. A Stalk Cutter is also necessary, and no better can be found than Cole's.
