Newcastle, Lawrence Co., l'a., April 13.— 
We have had very nice spring weather here for 
the last two weeks. The grass and grain are 
hegiuning to look green and have started to 
grow nicely. It began to rain last nigbi; baa 
turned to snow and Is snowing briskly, with 
fair prospect of continuing during the most of 
the day. Rough feed lor stock Is pretty well 
used up in this section of country. Hay is $18

with fair prospects of settled winter weather 
again. Not a seed planted yet. No plowing 
done, and frost In tbe ground iu many places in 
fields, roads and garden. Have bad peas and 
early potatoes planted the first week in March, 
or more than a mouth earlier than it will be 
possible to plant this season.— a. 8 . y. 
Gndscn, Ala., April 8 *.—Are very busy pre¬ 
paring for cotton planting. Very fine weather. 
Thermometer for several days has been marked

WHAT SOCIETIES ARE DOING. 
The MnHHacliuftells llort, Soc. is perhaps the 
model society of its class in this country. It is 
wo believe, the wealthiest, and embraces in its 
membership men of note as horticulturists. 
We have received from E. W. BtrswnnL, Secre¬ 
tary, a copy of its transactions for 1874, edited 
by Robert Manning. Aside from being a de¬ 
tailed record ot the transactions of the Society 
for 1874, it Includes a vast amount of interesting 
practical Information relating to horticulture, 
elicited by its discussions, reports of commit- 
t068^ 6t(*« 
Hnmiiion Hort. fcoc. We have the prize list 
of a society with this name, but from it we can¬ 
not gather whether the Society is located in 
Canada, New York or California. This Is the 
case with a large number of premium lists we 
receive. The Societies might be located in Aus¬ 
tralia, for aught we can gather from their pub¬ 
lications. It is both disgraceful to the officers 
who Issue such prize lists and vexatious to us 
who attempt to locate them and who have the 
most hospitable desire to do them good in our 
columns. 
Tin* Mnrylnnd llort. hoc. propose to hold a 
peach show the third week In August—not ex¬

Bitter.— Old butter has merely s market as it can 
catch a trade- Each holder lias his own style or 
ijuoUitlonK. fine old State is scarce und wanted, 
nnd it. Is certainly remarkable that *0 few lines lest 
flDe, or even very good, out of so large a supply as 
has been held over. Wo learn that a good deal ot 
iuterior-heid stock will be pickled anil carried over. 
It seems bardiy worth while to add it to our burden¬ 
some supply.yet summering has seldom paid for the 
trouble, while few dealers like to handle it when it 
Is eventually sent forward. Old Western butter is 
u» badly neglected as .State. New butter is to de¬ 
mand. but much of It shows a hurry to get it to mar¬ 
ket and prices are quite variable, not at all in favor 
ot producers. Then again, a good many lots arrive 
mixed with old This is always a detriment to sales. 
Holes* now butter at tins nine of tbe year shows a

buyers turn it one side, and after they leave it its 
value is Indefinite. Don't mix or attempt 10 rotor
