The real and'practical method of

different strips. On one strip put
bone dust or superphosphate, at the
rate of 400 pounds to the acre. If
an unusual vigorous growth results,
the land wants phosphoric acid.—
On another strip put wood ashes at
the rate of 20 bushels of unleached
ashes to the ucre. If good results

Have a Garden.
Every farmer ought to have a gar
den.. Besides the pleasure it af
fords in giving a chance to witness
nature’s work in the growth and
development of the various pro
ducts, it is often highly profitable
in a sense of being an auxiliary* in
furnishing a food supply. In fact
it is often said and not without
proof of its correctness's that a well-
kpt garden can he made during
its producing season to furnish
half a living for a family. As an
evidence of what can be done with
a garden, we give the experience of
a gentleman as taken from an ex
change:
“As an illustration of how much
a small piece of ground can be
made to produce, my summer’s ex
perience may be of interest.
“My garden plat, of a little less
than one-quarter of an acre, is a
rich, black loam. Its glory* were two
mammoth squash vines, which pro
duced eleven squashes, of weight
as follows: The largest, 142 pounds;
the next, 82pounds; two weigh
ed 130^4 pounds; two others, 9 1 1 ._>
pounds; two weighed 13Q? 4 pouds;
two others, 91 fit pounds; one, G1
pounds; two, 8H4 pounds,
and two small ones not
matured, 28 pounds. Total weight
of the eleven, Olo pounds.
“The remainder of the crops were
sixty-five bushels Early Rose and
Beauty of Hebron potatoes, thirty-
five bushels turnips, and some two
dozen or more Hubbard squashes
which, at our market prices, M ould

A correspondent, of the Horticul
turist describes his way, of making
a cucumber crop as folio ms :
I had a narrow border, not more
thau tM*o and a half feet wide, on
the edge of high fence. I planted
three cucumber hills iu the border,
and laid some brush (such as is
used for pea vines) between them
and the fence. As soon as they
crept up to the brush, I pinched off
ends of the vine, which “thickened
rapidly around the roots, and in ev
ery* direction, throwing out the
most vigorous foliage and profus
ion of flowers.
I did not alloM' the cucumbers^ to
grow but M atched them, and such
as 1 M’ishcd to reserve for the table
i picked as soon as they became of
the proper size; all the rest M*ere
gathered every* day for pickle; ev
ery day pinching off the buds at
the end of each shoot. In this M ay
the hiil continued fresh and pro
ductive until they* were touched by*
frost. Some judgment can be
formed of the value of this practice
M’hen I add that more than a bar-
lel of pickles were made from three
hills, besides allowing a supply for
the table.

tinuous publication proves its -worth and
popularity, The Post has never missed
an issue. Its fiction is. ot the highest
order—the best original stories, sketches
and Narratives of the day. It is perfectly
free from the degrading and polluting
trash nhich characterizes nisny other
so-called literary and family papers: It
<rives more for the money, and of a bet
ter class, than any other publication in
the M'orld. Each volume contains, in
addition to its wc-ll-edited departments,
tuenty-five first-class serials, by the best
livings authors, and upu ards of five hun
dred Short stories. Every number is
