BANUNCULUS, OE CROWFOOT, BUTTERCUP. 
Ranunculi's, or Crowfoot, commonly desig¬ 
nated Buttercup, growB abundantly in pastures, 
meadows and roadsides in many parts of the 
country. It sends up annually several erect, 
round and branchlng6tems, from nine to eighteen 
inches high. The radical leaves, which stand 
on loug footstalks, are ternato or quin ate, 
with lobed and dentate leaflets. Each stem sup¬ 
ports several solitary, bright yellow, glossy 
flowers, upon furrowed, angular peduncles. 
The seeds are naked, and collected in a spheri¬ 
cal head. 
In riding through some parts of the country 
in the month of May and June, whole meadows 
may be seen abounding extensively in this per¬ 
nicious weed, which, when swallowed in the 
fresh state, produces heat and pain in the stom¬ 
ach, and, if the quantity be considerable, may 
excite fatal inflammation. In old meadows 
where it abounds abundantly, the hay Is nearly 
worthless; for, if cattle eat it in a dried state, it 
is certainly more or less injurious to their health. 
If they do not eat it, it is a waste of land that 
might produce better fodder. 
When growing in pastures, cattle eat around, 
but do tfot eat it; but it occupies ground that 
might better be occupied with good, healthful 
grass; and when not too abundant it may easily 
be exterminated by digging up the roots with a 
hoe, in spring or fall, or anytime when the grass 
is not too high to dig them easily. Where few 
abound they ought to be exterminated in this 
way; but if too numerous to be exterminated 
with the hoe, as they ore in many places, such 
Helds might better be plowed, and planted to 
hoed crops in spring, or if not plowed till June, 
and sowed to corn, they would produce far more, 
and much healthier food for stock than all the 
hay they produce. Plowing under thistles in the 
month of June and sowing the land, has been 
known to subdue them. Perhaps it would this, 
and other pestiferous weeds. Farmers, try to 
exterminate thi3 pestiferous weed from your 
meadows. It will surely pay you well in time 
to do so. By feeding such hay to your stock, 
you hazard the life and health of your animals. 
If you sell it to others less thoughtful or in¬ 
formed, you are doing them and the country an 
injury. 
In winter, animals mnst feed upon what is 
placed before them ; and hunger often compels 
them to devour what is injurious to their 
health; things which they would not touch if 
they could obtain healthful food. This is a loss, 
instead of gain. A little attention and dili¬ 
gence may correct many errors in farming, e. s. 
CULTIVATION OF STRAWBERRIES. 
Mr. Day of Morristown, N. J., a successful 
strawberry grower, furnishes the N. T. Observer 
with his method of cultivation, as follows : 
Soil ,— The soil is a clay loam, rather predomi¬ 
nating, sufficiently stiff to bake, when not well 
manured aud cultivated. Second — 
Time of Planting.— My bed was planted in the 
spring, but I usually plant more in August and 
September than any other season. My custom 
is to plant at either season when I get ready. If 
plauted in August or September a fair crop may 
be expected the following season. Third_ 
Distance Apart,—l Invariably plant iu rotes 
and never in buh. I hold that the objections to 
planting iu beds are so great and palpable that it 
will admit of no discussion whatever. My stand¬ 
ard rule is to plant rows three feet apart, and 
plants two feet ow. I have found this 
close enough for convenience of picking, 
cultivation, manuring, &c. Fourth — 
Runners, — “What do you do with the run¬ 
ners V” Is almost a universal inquiry. I treat 
them as mats, unless wanted for the increase ot 
stock. Cut them off as fast as they appear, by 
any convenient process your own judgment 
may dictate; a light, sharp steel Bpade, or a 
scuffling hoe I have found the most practicable 
and expeditious. Filth — 
Manures.—I use no other but barn-yard ma¬ 
nure, composted nearly one year, with an occa¬ 
sional top dressing of dry wood ashes. The 
soil is lined before the bed is planted at all. 
The object of composting is to destroy the seeds 
of grass and weeds, the bane of strawberry cul¬ 
ture. Thu value of composted manures, in my 
estimation, Is simply beyond computation. Let 
any one try it once. In first preparing the 
ground I aim to use an abundance of manure. 
My theory is that plants that are expected to 
produce fruit must have something to feed 
upon. Sixth — 
Middling ,— I mulch in the fall with clean 
straw, and leave it ou through tho spring for 
the fruit to lie upon while ripening, to avoid 
the necessity of washing the fruit, only opening 
the mulch immediately about the crown of the 
plant. Seventh — 
Duration. —1 preler to have some new plant¬ 
ings coming in every season; but, by good 
management, I think a bed may be continued 
iu one pluce about three years. Eighth — 
Product .— The total product of my bed, this 
season, was a fraction short of five bushels on 
the 37-50 part of an acre, making at tho 
rate of one hundred and eighty-five bushels to 
the acre. Ninth — 
Flavor — The “Albany Seedling’’ combines 
more good qualities in Itself than any other 
one variety I know of. It has been pronounced 
by Borne as too acid. I have not louud it so 
when properly ripened. Even that acid is 
pleasant and very healthy. Tenth — 
General Management.— In conclusion, I would 
urge clean cultivation, principally by hoeing, 
and only plow or spade but once a year, viz., 
just after the crop of fruit is gathered. 
HORTICULTURAL MATTERS IN OHIO. 
Gen. Harrib, the genial editor of the Ohio 
Farmer, has just made a three week’s circuit of 
the country east of Cleveland to the Pennsylva¬ 
nia line, and westerly across ?he t val]ey of the 
Miamls Into Indiana—“thus spanning the en¬ 
tire northern and mid-western regions of the 
State.” Amung other things he reports that:— 
“Of Fruits, the apple crop is scattering—Borne 
trees bearing full, and many more with not 
enough on to speak of. Peaches are still more 
so, though a tew orchards in the region ot Me¬ 
dina, Morrow, Warren and Clermont, have full 
crops. Grapes are doing badly away from the 
Lake shore region, aDd even here the rot and 
mildew infect many vineyards. There is a full 
crop of blackberries, and has been of most fruits. 
Pears are also plenty. 
“Ozier Willow Hedge.—O n a bottom mea¬ 
dow belonging to Upson Bushnell, of Gustavus, 
wc saw a hedge of the red or purple cane ozier 
willow, now four years old, which makes a good 
stock fence. The cuttings were set on the bank 
of a ditch, the ground kept tolerably dear of 
weeds the first three years; in the spring of the 
third year, take hold at one end of the row and 
braid the tops into a rope along the line, three 
or four feet from the ground; the new growth 
will then grow upright, and the rope of canes 
will hold the whole fabric together, which will 
form a thicket of shoots impervious to all farm 
stock. Mr. Bushuell jfianted a line of the white 
willow, but it made such a shabby show that he 
took it up again. 
“ Transplanting Evergreens.—O n the pre¬ 
mises of Ira Fowler and P. Carlton, of Hartford, 
Trumbull Co., we saw the result of a successful 
transplanting of pines and other native ever¬ 
green trees. These gentlemen think they have 
discovered the secret of transplanting such trees 
so they will live and grow right along. They 
went to the pine region of western Pennsylva¬ 
nia in the first of June, took up good sized trees, 
and when setting them out puddled the roots in 
mud and water, then set them in well prepared 
holes, and they seem hardly to know that any 
thing has happened to them. If the transplant¬ 
ing is doue before the branches shoot in the 
spring, the growth of the season is checked and 
but llttlegrowth is made that year, but by doing 
the work in the first of June, the shoots make a 
growth the same season, and the vigor of the 
tree keeps up the growth. Whatever the theory 
may be, the demonstration on the grounds of 
Messrs. Fowler and Carlton show the best re¬ 
sults. 
“ Late Keeping Apples.— Mr. Fowler treat¬ 
ed us to a dish of apples which he calls Prince’s 
Everlasting, some of which were grown in 1S63. 
The growth of 1S64 were just in their prime in 
the last of July: the growth of 1$63 were shrivel¬ 
led, but still held a good spirit and a ripe juice. 
The apples are of a fair size, and look very much 
like Peck's Pleasant; they were kept iu the 
usual way that farmers keep apples in a good 
cellar.” 
GRAPE CULTURE IN MISSOURI. 
Some eight years ago, I bought a piece of wild 
land at $2.50 per acre, which, I thought and still 
think, is well adapted to grape culture. In 1801 
I made the first beginning on it, aud made a 
bargain with a poor but industrious mechanic 
of the following kind:—I was to build him a 
small house, furnish the plants and trees, and 
pay him 1150'per year the first two years; he 
have to do the labor, fencing, clearing of ground, 
planting, etc.; he have one-half of all the pro¬ 
duce of all the vines and trees, and I to have the 
other half. This contract to last an indefinite 
length of time until one of the parties should 
get tired of it, when he was to give other six 
months’ warning. No compensation to be al¬ 
lowed after the first two years, except one-half 
of the produce. I built him a small but com¬ 
fortable house, and my tenant weut to work 
with a will. 
The first spring he fenced, cleared and planted 
about three acres in grapes, and four in orchard, 
mostly pears and peaches. Made during the 
summer, about $250 worth of layers, of which 
he received one-half, and raised corn and veget¬ 
ables enough for his family. This, with the 
$150 I paid him annually, enabled him to live, 
with his family. The second summer he made 
about $1,000 worth of plants, of which he re¬ 
ceived one-hall' again. The third summer the 
produce was about $1,000, making $.$00 as his 
share; and the fourth year I have paid to him 
$2,000 as his share of the proceeds in plants and 
fruits, and If the rebels had not unfortunately 
emptied all of the wine, he would have bad at 
least $500 more. This, the fifth year, he will 
have at least $0,000 as his share of the proceeds, 
and it may be a thousand more. During that 
lime he has sent money to his brother in Ger¬ 
many, to pay his passage for him aud his family; 
has bought a piece of land joining mine, and 
leased it to his brother on about the same cou- 
ditious under which he holds a lease from me, 
he preferring to remain a tenant on my laud. 
The land, house, plants, and all have cost mo, 
so far, about $t,S00; net proceeds up to last 
spring, $3,100. If we consider that these were 
the first four years, that in 1S68-1S04 nearly all 
the buds on the vines were killed by the ex¬ 
treme hard winter, and that the rebels destroyed 
about $500 worth of wine, it will be seen that 
we have both found It a profitable investment. 
It may be fair hero to state, that he ami his fam¬ 
ily are of the most industrious, hardworking 
and intelligent people I have ever met, and that 
the greater part of this was made by raising 
plants of the best varieties. Not a cutting was 
wasted ; aud as 1 take all the plants ho raises at 
a fair wholesale price, he has no further trouble 
in selling them. But here is an example of a 
man, eutircly without means, making a com¬ 
fortable living by grape growing the first few 
years, and is now in a fair way of becoming 
wealthy in a few years, while the proprietor of 
the ground Ijsb every reason to be satisfied with 
the capital invested. Cannot others go and do 
likewise ? There are thousands of acres of the 
host grape land to be had yet in this State, at 
tb< rate of from $5 to $10 an acre. 
Hus there ever been a better opening for the 
poor, industrious laborer than.he can have in 
Missouri now ? 1 have lately bought some 500 
acres of splendid grape lands, at an average of 
$5,50 per acre, and am ready and willing to wel¬ 
come a dozen of industrious families to go to 
work on them—others will do the same. Rest 
assured they can 30on earn enough to buy land 
of their own if they choose. Now, that we have 
perfect peace and quiet again, we look forward 
to a flood of emigration ; and it will come. It 
will not he long before land will rise to treble 
Its value now; flourishing farms and vineyards 
will be where everything is wilderness yet; and 
oh ! most glorious thought of all, they worked 
by free and happy people.— Geo. Husmann, oj 
Herman , Mo,, in Horticulturist. 
MILDEW OF THE GRAPE. 
Mr. Ciias. Downing furnishes the following 
interesting memoranda to the Country Gentle¬ 
man : 
“You ask me about Dr. Grant’s grapes. Both 
arc doing well and making a fine show of fruit, 
although the Iona did not set the fruit so per¬ 
fect as formerly; ( this is the case with several 
sorta that never missed before.) Israelis has 
fine large compact bunches, and is the most 
promising this season so far of all the newer 
sorts. 
“ I regret to ?ay that mildew on the leaves 
commenced some 10 or 12 days since, and is 
spreading rapidly. Norton’s Virginia Seedling 
has lost nearly all its foliage; heretofore this 
has been very free from it, and one of the hardi¬ 
est, always ripening its fruit without rot or 
mildew. Rogers' No. 1, 5, and 9 are badly mil¬ 
dewed, both fruit and foliage; the other Nos. 
are affected more or less on the foliage; fruit 
still free. The old Alexander, which has always 
been hardy and fVee from it, is one of the worst 
mildewed one on the fruit—leaves also badly. 
“ The last to be attacked by the mildew were 
Iona, Israeli a, Hartford Prolific, Concord and 
Delaware. Catawba, Diana, Concord and To- 
Kalon have commenced rotting, but not very 
much as yet. One person having a small vine¬ 
yard of Concords, about a mile from here, has 
lost nearly his whole crop by rot.” 
MULCHING PEAR TREES. 
The pear tree abstracts from the soil a very 
large amount of water, parting with it at the 
surfaces of its leaves, depositing during its pass¬ 
age the matters held in solution, to form tree, 
fruit, etc. We noticed that a continu¬ 
ous stream of lukewarm water soon causes the 
substance on which It falls to become much 
heated; and thus iu summer the sun falling on 
the earth around a pear tree, uaturally gives to 
its water a large amount of heat. Although 
owing to the small amonnt of such water which 
would comparatively pass into other kinds of 
trees, they might not be injured ; yet with the 
pear tree the quantity is' so large that it stiffens 
the vegetable albumen of the sap, from the 
great accumulation of heat, and prevents the 
easy aud natural flow to the termini of the tree, 
causing summer blight, etc. All this is easily 
prevented, by a slight mulching. It should be 
remembered, howqver, before severe weather in 
the. fall, that this mulch should be drawn away 
from the tree, aud uot restored until the tree 
has parted with Us leaves. When this is neg¬ 
lected, the pear tree will continue to take up 
water during its late growth, which frequently 
deposits itself between the tree and the bark, 
thus causing loose bark, winter blight, etc. 
When the growth, however, is arrested by the 
removal of tho mulch the capillary attraction 
is rendered less active, at an earlier date; thus 
the tree is protected.— Working Farmer. 
THE APPLE-WORM. 
Tins insect is becoming truly formidable, and 
a large share of the small crop of apples of the 
present year is spoiled by its injuries. W T e have 
already noticed the new contrivance of Dr. Trim¬ 
ble for destroylrg it by means of hay ropes pass¬ 
ed around the trunks of the trees at midsummer, 
under which those Insects pass to tho pupa stated 
and are then easily killed. This remedyis no doubt 
useful as far as It goes, but we question if it will 
prove anything more than a useful auxiliary. 
Swine in sufficient numbers to eat all the fallen 
fruit from the uoment it begins to drop until it 
approaches full maturity, will doubtless prove 
very effectual. But those who have large orch¬ 
ards will find it difficult to assemble £wine 
enough to do tho entire work in a complete 
manner. It mty be necessary, therefore, to re¬ 
sort to sheep—tho only objection to which, is 
tbelr propensity to hark the trees; encircling 
them with board boxes, or rolls of basswood 
bark peeled from saw-logs will be easier and 
better than to allow the insects to ruin the crop. 
Sheep soon bedomo fond of half-grown apples, 
and eat them tcndlly. No orchard should bo 
permitted to rim to grass until the trees have 
attained good po; and even then nothiug of 
larger growth jthan the short herbage of sheep 
pastures. Thtf top dressing of manure which 
these animals * ill give tho orchard will prove 
another advantage. An additional scattering of 
manure from the yard in autumn will make up 
the deficiency of growth occasioned by a cover¬ 
ing of turf.— Country Gentleman. 
One of our soldiers asked a Kentucky fanner 
why ho did not plant fruit trees? “Do you 
think,” said he, “ that I want a perch of rocks 
and clubs thrown into my lot every year ? No, 
sir, I do not want any apple trees ou my farm.” 
THE TULIP. 
For more than a century the tulip has been a 
universal favorite with all true lovers of flowers, 
and at certain times the rage for this flower has 
amounted to ap general mania. Nothing in the 
florjtl world can exceed in beauty and brilliancy 
a bed of good tulips. Those who are acquainted 
only with the common, poor tulips scon in the 
country, know nothing of the character of a 
good tulip, or the magnificence of a mass of 
these superb flowers. 
Any good garden soil will answer for the tulip. 
A rich soil is not necessary, though well-rotted 
manure and rotted sods and balf-rnold may he 
applied when the earth is poor. See tbat the 
drainage is good before planting. Plant in Octo¬ 
ber and November, Make the soil fine and deep. 
Set the early flowering kinds five or six inches 
apart, and the late varieties seven or eight inches. 
The tulips are divided into two general classes 
—Early and Late—and these again into several 
others. The earliest tulips flower in this latitude 
about the first of May.

A Prolific Grape Vine. —A California exchange 
says of a grape vine at Orville:—“It is 15 inches in 
circumference, covers an awning 30 by 21 feet, and 
has 42-3 dnstere of grapes, each of which, it is estima¬ 
ted, will average two pounds, making a yield of over 
800 pounds from a single vine." 
A Grape Vine Destp.otee.—I t is said that a new 
species of worm is destroying the grape vines In vari¬ 
ous parts of the country. The Livingston Republican 
thus describes them:— K They are about three inches 
long, have three eyes—two on the head and one on the 
tail, the latter being very brilliant. A touch on either 
end causes it to dy around snappishly at the offending 
object, and it is stated that its bite is poisonous. 
They are a dark brown on the back, and pink under¬ 
neath." 
How to Arrange Flowers.— The great idea now 
in arranging them is to show each flower separately 
(cot in that horrid way, of all others moat objectiona¬ 
ble, when, having a crowd of flowers, each flower tries 
to be seen, thua making tip a result of a mass of exci¬ 
ted petals, like faces tamed up in a crowd)—but 
where the view Is to let each flower repose quietly 
and calmly upon a bed of green. That is, after all, 
the natural view of flowers; but I never saw it done 
perfectly till a few days ago, at Paris.— London Society.

plant as a Donhie Yellow Peony, and if there is where 
could I buy one? Also, a Double Pamlc Pronv that

There are several Yellow Peonies—they are of a 
delicate sulphur or rrpamy yellow. There are no 
bright yellows. The Peonies are spring or early sum¬ 
mer flowers. lVe are not acquainted with any variety 
that flowers late in the summer or fall. Plants can be

or some of the Rural readers will furnish a

pression of butterflies, but have lost it, and 
therefore make the present request.—J. C. IL 
Philadelphia. 
The Tomato as Food.—A good medical au¬ 
thority ascribes to the tomato the following very 
important medical qualifications: 
1st. That the tomato is one of the most pow¬ 
erful aperients of the liver and other organs; 
where calomel is indicated, it is one of the’most 
effective and the least harmful medical agents 
known to the profession. 2d. That a chemical 
extract will be obtained from it that will super¬ 
cede the use of calomel in Ihe cure of diseases. 
3d. That he has successfully treated diarrhcea 
with this article alone. 4th. That when used as 
an article of diet, it Is almost sovereign for dys¬ 
pepsia and indigestion. 5th. That it should be 
constantly used for daily food; either cooked or 
raw, or in the form of catsup, it is the most 
healing article now in use. 
Dyeing Flannel Orange Color.—T o color 
a bright and durable orange, prepare the cloth 
With alum water, the same as for coloring with 
madder. For the coloring matter, take the 
flowers of the common wild burr marigold 
better known as beggar-1 lee, or Spanish needles 
—hotanicatly Bolenspundosa. Boil these in satt 
water in a brass kettle, and when the flowers are 
Steeped put in the cloth to be colored; when 
this is boiled awhile, the color will be a taost 
unpromising, dark, muddy stuff; but take it out 
of the dye and put it in hot, strong soap-suds, 
and wash it, bunging it in the shade to dry, 
when the bright orange color will appear. This 
is a cheap and excellent dye.— Ohio Farmer.

APPLE BUTTER. 
Eds. Rural New-Yorker :—As one of your 
numerous readers asks the modus operandi for 
making “Apple Butter,” and as the question, 
if properly answered, may uot only oblige the 
querist but many others, I take the liberty to 
answer. We have made apple butter more or 
less for some fifteen years, aud feel as though 
some Important article on the table is missing, 
especially in winter, If we are without It. We 
have pursued three different modes in making 
apple butter, but the following is onr present 
mode, equally as good as any I know of, and 
doue with much less trouble: Sweet apple 
cider is the best. Boil down three and a half 
gallons to one. (If svxtt cider, use moderately 
tart apples—Kamboes are as good as any. If 
sour apple cider, use sweet apples.) When the 
cider is properly boiled remove it into jars or 
cask. For one barrel of cider it needs from two 
to two and a half bushels of apples — say five 
common palls of well prepared quarters—cook 
these in unboiled cider, same as you would lbr 
sauce. When well cooked, skim out and pumice 
them in a dash churn. If sweet applies are used, 
sift them—then proportion your cider and apples 
in your kettle (.If you cannot.do it all at once,) 
and cook together, say from one to two hours, 
so that when done, it will be about the con¬ 
sistency of griddle cake batter. (A barrel of 
cider should make about twelve gallons.) It is 
necessary to be very careful, especially in the 
last process, to prevent its buruiugou the kettle; 
Usin g a stirrer made of a strip of board some four 
inches wide, with handle shaped like a garden 
hoe ; stirring well at the bottom. Season with 
cassia, etc., to taste, when just done. Put away 
in one or two gallon jars.
