Garden Vegetables.
>'o list of varieties can be given that can
tv considered as the best under all condi
tions, says the St. Louis Republic. Asa
rule the old standard varieties will give the
liei t results for the general crop. Novelties
will do to try on a small scale, but in many
ca-rM they do not come up to expectations.
It is always an item to select a sufficient
number of varieties to keep up a good sup
ply during the growing season,
A good garden should not only afford
plenty of vegetables early, but a supply all
through the season, and this can be secured
roo ,t readily by a good selection of early
and late varieties.
With onions the sets or buttons are largely
depended upon. If the seed is sown the old
red weatherfield or yellow danvers are fully
etjual to any of the newer sorts. The mam
nv.th is oue of the ltest white or silver
skinned.
With lettuce, one of the earliest is
eurled silesia or Simpson; tennisball, the
hanson or Boston market are good later va
rieties.
A good plan with radishes is to mix three
varieties and plant together, making about
three plantings during the season—one of
the turnip varieties, white or red; one of the
half long or the French breakfast or olive
shaped, and then one of the long, like Char
tier’s long scarlet short top. Grey’s summer
nr giant stuggort is one of the best varie
ties.
Bloomsdalo spinach is as good as any for
greens.
Of peas there is a long list of varieties,
many of the earlier being different only in
the names given them by the seller. While
not quite so early as some of the smaller
dwarf varieties like Tom Thumb or
Carter’s little gloss, yet, for general
planting, American Wonder is one of the
very best that can be used, with bliss
abundance for the second crop followed by
one of the larger sorts, such as blue impe
rial or champion of England. By making
plantings three weeks apart of these three
varieties a supply can be had with little
trouble. The first sowing should be made
as early in the spring as the condition of
the soil will admit. There is no economy
in sow ing until the soil can be worked into
a good tilth, but whenever this can bo done
the seed can be plauted.
Later on two kinds of cabbage should be
planted. Early York is an old standard
early variety, but the Leads are very small,
and in a majority of cases early Jersey
Wakefield will give better satisfaction,
while for the late crop surehead or late flat
Butch are good.
With tomatoes Livingston’s perfection is
one of the best for all purposes. There is,
however, quite a list of varieties that are
good, as acme, trop ly, beauty, and others.
With beans, as with peas, there is a long
list to select from; golde t wax, lemon-pod
wax and red Valentine are all good.
Celery should find a place in every gar
den ; white plume is an excellent variety, as
is also golden dwarf.
Sweet corn should always be planted.
Amber cream and Stowell’s evergreen are
two most excellent varieties with both
beans and sweet corn. Two or three
plantings should be made so as to keep up
a good supply. What is not used can be
saved for use during the winter, so that if
there is an over-supply there need be no
waste.
Early Paris cauliflower, long purple egg
plant, will be good varieties of these.
Half-long carrots are good for general
planting for table use. Tne long sugar pars
nip is a good variety. Salsify and pars
nips should-be planted on one side of the
garden, where they can be loft all winter if
desired and still not interfere with the clear
ing up and plowing of the rest of the gar
den.
Kuby king or golden dawn are good va
rieties of larger peppers, while cayenne or
cranberry are good small sorts. The early
bastian is one of the best early varieties of
beets, and the long red for late. Early mar
ket cucumber is one of the best early kinds,
hut many prefer the early frame. Long
green, white spine, and Talby’s hybrid are
good later sorts. It is not a good plan to
have too many varieties.
Iu planning the garden, arrange so that as
one crop matures the space will be occupied
bv another coming on. Some of the smaller
and early maturing varieties can he readily
grown between the rows of the larger, and
later would be out of the way by the time
tho room is needed.
! ’lant or sow everything in long rows; less
room will be required while the work of cul
tivating and keeping down the weeds will
he much less. Have the soil in good tilth
and sow the seed as evenly as possible in the
row. Asa rule cover, but not too deep;
generally four times the length of seed will
he sufficient. Peas do better if planted
tnree inches deep; light seeds like lettuce
need a very light covering.
Training Sheep Dogs.
long since, says the Mobile Register,
a Patron asked us to write au article giving
information with reference to training dogs
for usefulness in the sheep industry of our
"tlu range regions of the lower south. We
have nothing before us on the subject with
the exception of a work by au English
author, which says the training should be
gin while the puppy is about three months
°*'i. It must be made to appear to him as
the leading purpose of his life. There must
he plenty of practice from the very start—
e must not be allowed time to form habits
” a,l y other character. It is always best
' train him with a trained dog, and to
-Jake that dog his only canine associate in
P’ippyhood.
r ry from the first to train the young dog
"°rk by hand signals as well as by the
w because when at a distance and in
11 ’ " |j a‘h?r, the dog can see the signals
‘a it cannot hear. When you want the
J g to come to you, say “Come here,” and
i our hand behind you, and make him
e<n behind until he gets the next order;
1 , u want him to bark, say “Speak up”
1 raise your head; if he is to fetch the
'ai.nals, say “Go fetch them,” at the same
i.oe waving your hand toward them, then
t “ u ' our back for an instant; if the dog is
1 before animals going in a wrong direc
-1 >n, so as to turn them, say “Go in front”
*‘ I,J l brow the hand straight out. If you
Jam the animals got up into a cluster, say
? r "und them,” moving the hand from
Ki S ' 1,1 left, or vice versa. To get the dog
1 >ained that he will respond to these mo
* w *f , bont the words, may seem like a
difficult thing to do, yet it can invariably
be accomplished by perseverance. Tue
motions and the words should always go
together. If you do not expect the dog to
hear the words you should repeat them all
the same, as your gestures will appear more
natural than without them. Then the two,
when within hearing, enable the dog to em
ploy two of his senses in understanding
you—the 6cnse of sight and the senss of
hearing. Eventually he will get so well
trained that he will act on the sense of
sight when there is something to prevent
his hearing you, but the opportunity should
never be offered him when ha might hear as
well as see. He will understand why he
can not hear you as well as you will, and
when he could hear you and you do not let
him do so he will grow confused, and stand
a chance of becoming spoiled.
The dog should also be taught to lie at
any spot the animals are not to pass; to do
this it will be necessary to tie him a few
times, so he should wear a collar. Before
leaving him, say “Lie down,” pointing with
the hand to the ground.
When you wish the dog to cease barking,
say “Quit,” and make a, motion with the
hand as if striking him with a switch.
Perhaps at the start you may have to
give him a light tap with a switch—he
will soon understand what you mean by
the motion.
If, after the dog is trained, be shows dis
obedience in any way, whip him with a
light switch —never hit him with a club.
He must understand that what you have
done was for punishment only,and not that
you were desiring to kill him. The dog
must not fear you—he must love you, and
his obedience to your will must come of his
dislike to incur your displeasure. To storm
and rave at him at any time, or on any
occasion, is all wrong. Such a practice will
ruin a sheep dog quicker than anything that
could be done.
Of course there is a difference iu dogs,
when it comes to training, though any
smart dog may be trained successfully for
working with sheep. English or Scotch
shepherd dogs, so called, are, perhaps, the
easiest to train.
The sheep dog should never be allowed to
get hungry, neither should he be gorged.
Either condition will tell against his prompt
obedience. He should have regular hours
for his meals, and should be fed or allowed
to eat at no other time. This will prevent
his thinking of hunting food while on duty,
and hence will lead to a better concentra
tion of all his thoughts on his work.
In the old world there are people who pro
duce trained sheep dogs for market. They
usually train a large number together, and
therefore are better enabled to do it thor
oughly and easily than one would be where
traing only a single puppy. We are not at
all sure that a man might not make monoy
in this country by producing trained sheop
dogs, as improved sheep industry seems to
be getting a rather firm footing in many
portions of the south;

It will be noticed that at m time has th e
average yield been as much a3 a half bale
per acre. The highest yield per acre was in
1879, when it averaged 45-100 of a bale or
5-100 less than half a bale per acre. In the
year past it has only averaged 35-100, tak
ing nearly three acres to secure a yield of
one bale. In 1882-’B3 16,276,000 acres were
planted, and from tnis area a crop of 6,949,-
756 bales were secured. In 1888-’B9 the
acreage planted had increased nearly 3,000,-
000, with the same number of pounds
of cotton raised. Here was a dreadful loss.
An increase in the acreage, and therefore
in the labor of plauting and harvesting of
nearly oue-fifth, with exactly the same re
sults. In other words, 118 men did no more
work and got no more for it in 1888-89 than
100 men did in 1882-83. Had the yield per
acre been as great in 1888-89 as it was in
1879-80 the cotton crop, instead of being
7,000,000 would have been 9,000,000 bales.
We have a loss, therefore, of 2,000,000
bales, a loss due partially perhaps to the
depreciation of the soil, to the bad season
and to a number of other causes, and yet
as much of a loss as if it had been consumed
by fire.
Figures like these show the necessity for
improved agriculture. The average yield
of cotton throughout the south ought to be
at least one-half bale an acre. The acreage
is now nearly 20,c 0,000, and it ought to
yield a crop of 10,000,000. An acreage of
15,000,000 ought to produce a crop of 7,500,-
000. Some men are doing this, and doing
better, but when the average ia only 35 per
cent, of one bale to an acre there must be a
great number who do nos do that well, who
require four acres to the bale and some even
five acres to the bale.
Some Big Yields.
A sensation in the agricultural world
will be created by the experience the past
year of a host of the best fanners through
out the United States and the Canadas in
competing for prizes amounting to about
SIO,OOO, offered by the old standard farmers’
magazine, the American Agriculturist, of
New York. There were four grand prizes
of SSOO in gold for the largest yields of
wheat, oats, corn and potatoes on one exact
acre, and many minor prizes. Ample pro
vision was made for securing honesty

ing carefully supervised by sworn wit

nesses. Their certificates accompanied the
official book for reports, in which con
testants recorded every detad of culture.
The ojtato competitiou was participated
in by thousands, but potato blight swept
the whole country at the hieat of the
growing season, reducing the yield from
one-half to four-fifths. Iu spite of this un
avoidable disaster, a large number of com
plete reports have been submitted. The
American Agriculturist has completed the
award, with the following astonishing re
sult:
Grand prize, SSOO in gold to Charles B.
Coy, Aroestock county, Maine, for a yield
of 738*4 bushels of Dakota red potatoes on
a fraction under one acre, dressed with one
ton of Stoc abridge potato manure, seed
cut to two eves and dropped in bills Ix2*4
feet, on clay loam land for six years previ
ous in grass without manure of any kind.
The priucipal other prizes wore given as
follows: 2, to Alfred Rose, Yates county,
New York, 020 bushels of Early Peruvian,
Sunlit Star and Early Ontario, cut to two
eyes, planted 9xlß inches on sandy loam en
riched with a ton of Mapes potato manure;
3, Fred S. Wiggin, Aroostook county, for
53 1 *4 busheis Dakota red from seed cut to
one eye aud planted on fertilizer; 4, J. H.
Hitchcock, Wabasha county, Minn., for
532*, bushels Empire State from seed cut to
one size and fed with commercial fertilizer;
5, Delano Moore, Aroostook county, 523
bushels Dakota red cut half and whole and
manured with Qninnipiac potato phos
phate;6, R. C. Nisbet, Rio Grande county,
Colorado, 492 bushels on barnyard manure;
7,1. D. Roberts, San Luis Obispo county,
California, 478 bushels Peerless, with no
manure or fertilizer; 8, J. M. Ogle, King
county, Washington, 46J bushels on fertili
zer; 9, W. C. Cusiok, Union county, Oregon,
428 bushels, also on fertilizer.
The average crop of the prize winners
was 500 bushels, aud of the first 100 con
testants was 361 busheis. This shows how
good farming pays. The contest also settles
what has heretofore 6eeu in controversy,
that high grale complete potato fertilizers
are better and more profitable for this crop
than stable manure. Much light is also
thrown upon mooted ways of cutting the
seed, and many other points. A summary
of nearly 100 of the best crops will appear
in tho American Agriculturist for Jan
uary, together with the complete story of
the grand prize yield.
The SSOO in the oat class went to Orleans
county, New York, for a yield of 135
bushels. The wheat award is to bo an
nounced iu the February issue of the mag
azine, aud the result with corn in March.
The latter is awaited with peculiar interest
by both practical farmers a id agricultural
scientists, because chemical tests of the
amount of water in the crop are being
made in each case, together with numerous
complete analyses to ascertain the feeding
and manurial value of corn under the dif
ferences in variety, climate, and culture
which prevail in this country. These com
prehensive investigations are being con
ducted through the co-operatiou of the
various state and national experiment sta
tions, and promise to bo the most extensive
and practically valuable application of
science to ordinary farming.
Tiie American Agriculturist says the
whole affair is a remarkable instance of tho
intelligence and progressive spirit of the
mass of American farmers; that such an
enterprise would be impracticable in any
other country, and that it is designed to
have a marked effect upon the agriculture
of the next decade and enable farmers to
greatly increase their profits.
Farm and Stock Notes.
The curry-comb is never more useful than
in the winter. It is a pretty useful thing
any time. It s louid be ussd carefully,
however, at all times. Thu man who uses a
sharp curry-comb as he would a spade in dig
ging had better not use oie at all.
It is an old saying that every one must
eat his peck of dirt. Those who use the
milk that conies from a cow covered with
filth, and milked by a man whose hands
have net been washed c:eau f >r a quarter of
a century, get their share of dirt in quick
order.
In selecting breeds be governed first by
your individual fancy, and then tlx upon a
family noted for hardy constitutions. D m’t
begin with weak, puny stock. The first
cost may be a trifle more, but the year’s
work is In the balance, and that means much
to the breeder.
The skin of animals is an excretory organ.
Now, if the pores are filled with dirt toe
organ cannot perform its office efficien ly.
Keep the skin as clean as possible. This
may be done partially by keeping beddiug
cle in, keeping dirt from sifting down from
above, currying, etc.
The village butcher who buys the farmer’s
hogs and re ails them from the block in
almost every instance makesa greater profit
than the grower dare think of. The farmer
can save some of this profit to himself by
loarning to make a fancy article of meat
for summer use. Do it, and quit howling
about hard times.
Popular Science.
The value of hand grenades for the ex
tinction of incipient fires has been abund
antly demonstrated, and they are to be
found in corners and corridors of many
public buildings and private houses. There
is, however, no necessity for paying fancy
prices for this useful and indispensable arti
cle. A perfect substitute for it is to be
found in an ordinary bottle filled with the
solution. The solution is composed of one
pound of common salt and one-half pound
of sal-ammoniac dissolved in about two
quarts of water.
MEDICAL.
“Puzzied Jne Doctors."
MOST of the cases cured by Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla have been given up
by the regular practice. Physicians are
recommending this medicine more than
ever, and with satisfactory results.
E. M. Sargent, Dowell, Mass., says :
“ Several years ago, my daughter broke
out with large sores on her hands,
face, and other parts of her bedy. The
case puzzled the doctors. My 'laughter
used Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and it result*®
in a complete cure. Her blood seems to
have been thoroughly purified, as she
lias never had so much as a pimplo
since taking this medicine.’’
“ This is to certify that after having
been sick for twelve years with kidney
disease and general debility, and having
been treated by several physicians with
out relief, I am now better in every re
spect, ami think I am nearly well,
having taken seven bottles of Ayer’s
