Sometinnis planters are a little lute
in planting corn. Much time may be
saved I y soaking the s u'd. Tho fol
lowing experiment fully testified by
peated trials, is interesting and use
ful :
Four boxes were usod, in one corn
was planted without being soaked; in
unother, after being soaked in warm
water; in a third, after being soaked in
a solution of lime; ip tbo fourth, after
being soaked in a solution of equal parts
of chloride of lime and copperas. AP
the seeds were planted at the sum
lnv, in the same quantity of soil, ami
•ikon from the samu ear. Kaoli box
ha 1 the sum-' share of heat and light.
ither allowed any advantage over tin*
other. When the blades of the fourth
were nearly three inches high those of
the third were just peeping from tin
ground; the seed in the second, ban
just commonced to germinate, and, in
the first, hud not even b *guu to genni
liate. This expurini nt was severa
times made with similar results. Thu*
it is evident, that soaking tho seed in
solution of lime aud copperas is far tin
best for utfectiug rapid germinal ion,Min'
it 8 claimed lor it, that it expedite-
the growth, and the copperas, used in
tho solution, prevents birds, squirrels
and worm*, from eating the seed. A
pound of chloride of lime and a pound
of copparas in water will soak teed
enough for twenty acres. It should In
used, also, for replanting missing hills
or places.

FARM, G.\B3£N AND HOUSEHOLD.
To Make Boys Good Farmers.
To parents who have boys growing
up ou ihu farm, nothing ihould be
n -glected pertaining to farm life, to
make them good farmers. A half-way
f irmer, like an all instructed mechanic
or indolent shopkeeper, never does
notch good. From the first, boys ou
i ; j farm should ba induced to take an
internet in the farm, in the stoc;, iu
ta-j implements,and in all that pertains
t.> the business. Tell them all your
plain, your successes, your failures;
give them a history of your lifo and
what yon did, and how you lived when
a boy, but do not harp too much on
tho degenerate character of young men
of tlie present ago—praise them when
vou can and encourage them to do
better. Let them dreas up in tho ev
ening instead of sitting down iu their
dirty clothes as is often the case. Pro-
vide warm and nicely furnished sitting
rooms, and brilliant lights. Thanks to
kerosene, our country homes cun be
brilliantly lighted as the gass lit resi
dences in the city. Encourage
neighbors to drop in frequently of
enings for a social chat. Talk i
culture rather than polities, speak ot
the irnnortanca of laege crops, of good
stock, of liberal fee ling, and of the ad
vantage of making animals comforta
ble, rather than of the hard times, low
prices and high wages. Above all en
courage tho boy to read good agnouK
tural papors and good books. Provide
these without, stint; vend with them,
and give thorn tho benefit of your ex
perience and criticism. Finally, cause
them by pleasant, surroundings to grow
day by day more iu love with home
aud duties belonging to fclieir glorious
occupation, and there is no doubt but
tlioy will stick to the farm and make
farming a great success.
Good Vinegar.—-Take a five gallon p}
keg,]fill with water and put in five
pounds of sugar and a cop full of hop
yeast; put a long-neck bottle iu the
bung-hole and keep it iu the sun to
work.
To Prevent Blue from Fading.—
Put an ounce of sugar of lead into a
pail of water; soak the material in the
notation two hours, let it dry hufore
lieiug washed or ironed. Good for all
shades of blue.
Let them Stand.—Boiled hams arc*
much nicer when allowed to stand iu
the water in which they are boiled un
til cold. 1 The outside then does not
turn black, as it does when tak<
the water to cool; consequently, there 1 t ,. rms
i less waist in preparing them for the THE DUFF CftlSEN HOUoE,

Corned Beef.—To one hundred
pounds of beef cut in pieces suitab'o
for boiling, add fouv quarts of salt,four
p.mmis of brown sugar,and four ounces
of taltpetro. Sprinkle the mixture
over each piece as it is packed and
pound solid uud weight heavily with
stones. No water need bo used, as
there will be brine enough formed from
the meat and other materials. 1 lie
I,tine must constantly cover the berf.
Clean Cultivation.—If any one
doubts that the mellowing or loscning
or losening of the surface of the ground
is of use to moisten it iu warm, dry
weather, lie will barely doubt that Ibis
operation will effect Ihe destruction of
weeds. And this work is the
portant of the year. It is a principle in
physics, that two things canrot occupy
tho same space, at the same time,
it is equally true thar, two plants
eon subsist upon the same food. We< ds
rod the crop, and to destroy tho
hers, is a work that lasts through tin
entire season. The earlier it ia done.j
the less it costs.—American Agricul- J
