In the center of the back end al- willing to teat tho matter aliall take six rows, low your piece to extend from bottom to top, nr* the number usually cut to make a row of During the past week the weather has been nil that could be desired for farming operations. Nearly every section has been visited by light showers, and the crops have feaped forward uuder their favoriug influences. From the truck farming and inelen regions of the south we have the most encouraging report* Not only are these crops in a more advanced state than usual, but extraordinary efforts have been made by the railroads to insure rapid aud efficient transportations to the markets of the north and west. The general outlook is bright. Thb Valve or SoRonvii.??? Sorghum pos sesses several advantages over many crop*, that should not be overlooked. At present we iinjmrt millions of pounds of sugar from for eign countries, and tho demand is such that the supply is not always equal to tho amount consuniarl, both Louisiana and Cuba being unequal to the task of growing enough sugar for the wants of those who look in these di rections for a supply. It was formerly sup posed that sugar could only bo grown iu n tropical climate, or in the temperate xouesbor dering the topics, but there is reason to be lieve that with the improvements of our sys. terns of extracting syrup and crystaliaing sugar, that tho crop will be a general one, ul timately taking the place of corn iu some sec tions. Tho petty political feuds in the agri cultural department have done much to hin der the progress of sorghum culture, and but for the enterprise of individuals aud companies the making of sugar from sorghum would be n very in??ignificant matter. During tho late war sorghum syrup was made on nearly all the farms in the south, and it assisted greatly in prolonging tho struggle, ns good, whole some sprup was iu every house, which usurp ed the place of molasses as well as sugar. The value of sorghum does not consist of the fact of its being a; source from which sugar and syrup may be procured only,but because it nn- awers for a variety ofj)urposes outside of that of providing sugar. The ??????begasso" or refuse is readily eaten by hogs, or competed for fer tilizing, and the ???skimming*??? are said to con tain nitrogenous matter, while the blades take tho place of corn fodder. The seed* can be fed in the unground state, or may be convert ed into meal for domestic purposes, or for feed ing to stock. Surely a plant that has proven itself well adapted to different climates, and which answers so many demands, is worthy of place on every farm. It should bft brought within tho notico of all, and a* it requires about the same cultivation as corn, can no doubt * made a very profitable crop. At the New York state sugar grower*??? con vention, held in Geneva, it was demonstrated that over 8,000,000 pound* of sugar wero pro duced from four factories alone, and many in teresting facts were brought before those pres ent, which cannot fail to be of great value to all those directly interested in tho question of producing sugar at home. Professor Weber, of Champaign, Illinois, advised that when largo quantities of cane nr<* grown, various kinds should be planted, maturing at different sea sons, SO that one can bo worked up while tno other is ripening. Ho thinks early Amber and early Golden best for early maturing cano, but ho prefers late maturing varieties iu a climate where they will ripen. When cano is cut and allowed to lie, the enne sugar changes the grape sugar, and in order to prevent this change, cano should never be allowed to remain over ono night. ??? This is most important point, as many pounds of sugar may be saved by properly observing this rule. Sprouting the seed does not hasten tho crop forward, as experiments have demonstrated. The application of super-phosphate has been found highly beneficial, increasing tho per ceutago of sugar to a great extent, and caus ing tho seed to mature and the crop to ripen earlier. In experiment* made with topped and uhtopped enne, tho topped cano was found to produce three per cent wore sugar than tho other, which makes a difference of thirty-six pounds of sugar in a ton of cane. matching the one in front of your scantlings, shocks, and cultivate them shallow during the ??? ???wr*o,i * ???

Edward Tarr gives the Maine Homo farm tho following interesting and instructive account of his ex perience in boo-keening: ???Seven vears ago when I bought my first swarm of bees there were none kept in this place, although six or seven had tried it and failed. As I was entire ly unacquainted with the business, of course my expectations were not very high, yet I had hopes of getting enough honey for homo use. Not wishing to onre for hut a few swarms most of the increase was sold for the first three vears, when I began to become fascinated with the business; since which time I have saved the increase, and been fairly successful in the pro duction of honey. In 1879 a forest fire burnt over a tract of several thousands of acres of timber lands, coming within half a mile of us, The next sumtner that tract was covered with fire-wood (Epilobium Augustifoliiim), a plant .which secretes honey of the finest quality and in great abundance. In 1HH0 1 hived a first swarm the 25th of July. At that time there was n sea of purple bloom extending for miles to tho west and south of us. In just seven weeks that hive wo# full, and 105 pounds of comb honey in boxes containing about tbreo pounds cacn, were tiered up on top of the hive. That honey netted me thirty cents per pounds in Massachusetts. Three years before I be lieved that ???a swarm in July is not worth a fly.??? In the spring of 1882 a neighbor found a swarm of bees fn a tree a mile and n hall from tho edge of his burnt tract. The 21*t of May I went with him to help secure the tinner, if there was any, and the bees if possible. They wero in a dead pine tree twenty-five feet from the ground. Wo felled the tree and secured seventy-five pounds of honey, a bushel of empty comb, and brood enough to fill five Langstroth frames, with about four quart* of bees. We brought the bee* out, and the 11th of July they swarmed olid pitched directly over the hive, and we had them safely hived in twenty minute* from the time they is#ned from the parent hive. I mentio n this be cause it had been prophesied by the knowing one* that they being wild bee# (?) would hast en to make tracks for the woods, or in other words,show us how their coats set behind. Well, from that swarm brought from the woods, and the new swarm, my neighbor secured 134 I wunds of surplus in addition to the seventy- ive pound* taken from the tre. There are now in this place thirty bee-keepers, who keep all the way from one to eighty swarms. Gbowixg Tomitom.???The tomato is the favor ite vegetable of nearly all families and garden ers, aud as it ha* been improved to a degree of excellence of late years far surpassing any thing in the list of vegetables it is doubtful if it can be made much better than it is at the pjeaent time. The early plants should have been started in hotbeds before now, and while they should be set out as early as the ground will permit, care should be taken not to expose them before danger of frost is over. ??? For field culture the row* are laid off four feet each way, a large shovelful of good, rich, well-rotted manure being placed at each in tersection, and well worked in with a hoe. Set the plants out, placing them deep, pour water around the root*, and cover with earth. AH that ia necessary afterward* is to keep them clean with a cultivator, but if the garden sys tem can be applied to a large field the crop will be all the better for it.- To manage them is tbe garden, where the apade and hoe are to be used, three feet is close enough, and a little more distance between , 1 V, i 7 V Tl Cultivation more than what i* given in kec Iv can supply ??1I the jute that i* j them clear of weeds.
