There is much pleasant and open weather in November and De cember, and those who have gardens, may risk the sowing of the following seeds if done at once, pouring wa- ter over the rows when sowing if the ground is dry to expedite their coming up; namely, cabbages, beets, turnips, carrots, radishes, kale, pars nips, lettuce, rape, onion sets, salsify, and spinach. These are all hardy. Long collard seeds, too, may be sown to advantage. They are the hardiest of all when sown early, so as to be large enough to use for the table dur ing the winter months; they are as sweet and good as any of the cabbage tribe after several hard frosts. If the real collard plants can be obtained it will be a gain in time to get them; they will continue to grow through the' winter months, and the under leaves can be pulled olf for use as wanted. It would be better to sow 7 these seeds, which we have specified, in the early part of October but it is not too late to sow them in the early part of November. Button onions, set out now, will grow' through the winter and afford large bulbs in the spring. We refer to thi3 matter because most of the people who have gardens, give up all attention to it, imagining that their work would avail nothing more until the next spring. Let any one who doubts take a good large sized bed in the garden, spade it up well, manure it and plant upon it two or three rows of each of the vegetables specified, and the result will satisfy him of the utilj^y of the plan. If the bed is large enough all the seeds, referred to, may be planted upon it, letting the rows be about 1(5 inches apart. This, we would state, is merely intended for the seeds specified, Of course all know that fine vegetables can be grown in the fall as well as in the spring if the seasons are favorable, but a drouth of over two months this fall has prevented any reasonable suc cess. The Onion.—'Unlike most other root vegetables, the onion while voung needs but little cultivation more than what is given in keeping them clear of weeds. They should be kept perfectly clean, but it is not ne- cessarv, as many suppose, to keep the ground constantly stirred up along the drills. In fact, it is injurious, for the plants must throw out a large circular mass of rootlets near the surface of the ground as a preparatory means to the growth of the bulb, which par tially projects above ground. If the bulb o** root was to be found wholly below the surface, there would be some reason for keeping the ground loose at all times during the growth of the root, so that it need not be com pressed by a hard soil and thus kept in check. When the bulbs are about half formed, the gardener should go through each drill and remove the earth from about those that are deeply imbedded. If this is not done, they will have long, thick necks, with only a slight enlargement at the bottom, where the bulb ought to be. This is not a long job, and it will pay well for the time spent. Transplanting-.—I)r. Robbins a successful and experienced horticul turist, says: “I don’t allow the roots of either trees or plants to be exposed to the winds and sun for over a few minutes when trans-planting. I dig ample holes southern will be no crowd ing, cut off any broken roots (though I endeavor not to have any such) spread them out in a natural position, fill with good soil, which I work in be tween the roots well, and then press firmly down. In conclusion, I spread over the surface a thick mulch. In this way I have had great success both with plants and shrubs.” Meadows.—‘‘I believe that dull knives, revolving horse rakes, and spring and free pasturing destroys more meadows than all the torrid rays of the sun, and my advice is, keep your knives sharp, use none but a sulky rake, and never jiasture your meadows except there be a very heavy growth of grass; then only late in the fall, to keep the mice from burrowing therein and subsisting on the grass roots during the winter months. E. H. Owen, Pa. The advantage of mangel wurzel over beets is that, with care in keep ing, they are even better in the spring than beets while the latter cannot be profitably fed much after the 1st of March. Hones, Cows, in Green Fields. While agricultural writers urge the cultivation of green food for horses and other cattle, none advocate sud denly turning horses or cows into rich, green rye, or oat fields to remain in them for many hours, or long enough to bloat them. We have known cases of death to both horses and cows from this imprudence. It is always dangerous to let any kind of stock suddenly run at iarge on green fields of any kind, even rich meadows of common grass, where they have been fed lor sometime on ordi nary pastures, with hay, bran, boiled peas, &c., such as are usually given to milch cows. When it is desired to turn them on the agricultural grasses such as clover, orchard, lucerne, &c., they should be turned off in half an hour and the time should be extend ed by degrees, and even then they should have, at night, a feed of hay or shucks or other dry food. We have repeatedly urged the growing of winter crops, but have invariably urged this policy for safety to the animals. These green foods fill their stomach with gas which is attended with colic and dangerous distention, and not unfrequently the death of the animals. There is great danger in this distension and when it occurs, the cow, or horse, should be drench ed with half a gill of the spirits of aniseed in half a pint of warm water. This is good for colic, flatulency and spasmodic affections of the bowels. If this is not at hand, give a pint of strong peppermint tea, while warm, with two tablespoonsful of soda dis solved in it. Follow either of the above with four tablespoonsful of epsom salts in half a pint of warm wa ter. ! If not materially relieved in an hour, fill an eggshell with tar and put it down the throat. Another remedy said to be very efficacious is half a gill of soft soap in a pint of milk. These remedies may be repeated in an hour or two, if the first doses fail to give relief. Never turn the animals into green lots if wet with rain, nor in good weather, until the dew is evaporated by the sun or air. To administer the eggshell of tar, two men must hold the cow’s head straight, a third will hold the tongue to the right side and the shell can then be easily put dov T n the throat. A Boston paper, the American Cul tivator, says that “in sixty-three years, more than 12,000,000 immi grants have arrived in the United States. But for these and their de scendants, agricultural progress could scarcely have been pushed beyond the Mississippi, and the resources of this country could not have been developed to one-half the present ex tent. The immigration now aver ages 750,000 a year, and despite the preponderance of foreigners in some cities, most of the new-comers find homes on the farm.” To Fatten Sheep.—In England a feed of cotton seed and turnips is said to be largely used as a quick method of fattening sheep. It is stated that it makes the best mutton at the least expense. It is also added that this feed produces the strongest manure. It may not be generally known that the Duke of Atliole is one of the most extensive tree planters in the world. There are already vast woods and plantations in Atliole and Dunk- eld, Scotland, and, as of course, they exist for use as well as ornament, large numbers of trees have to be plant ed annually to maintain the woods. Indeed, every year the Duke plants from 600,000 to 1,000,000 trees. During this season, a plantation covering 2.000 acres has been completed. When the Planter Duke began operations on a large scale In 1774, the Dunkeld hills were almost bare. During his life the Duke, who may be described as a true benefactor to his country, planted 27,000,000 trees, covering an area of 15.000 acres. *f2£ina€ordidl c cues DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION, WEAKNESS, CHILLS AND FEVERS, MALARIA, LIVER COMPLAINT, KIDNEY TROUBLES, NEURALGIA AND RHEUMATISM.

Farmers sometimes forget the fact that “the earliest planting of any seed in the spring should not be put in deeply. This is especially important for sweet corn, which is more apt to rot in the ground than the field vari eties. The wrinkled garden peas are sweeter than the others, but if put in very early should be drilled more thickly in the row to allowforfailures. With good seed, a pea every inch in length of row will be none too close. It is told that “a prominent Iowa pig breeder keeps his hogs, except when fattening, on artichokes. He says on good land this crop will produce more hog feed per acre than any other crop. Iowa is one of the largest corn and, hog producing States in the Union, and it sounds rather strangely to he&r of anything cheaper than corn at the West.” It is well to remember that “green manures produce the best results on sandy or gravelly soil, deficient in vegetable matter. On black soil, es pecially if wet, it is better to feed the green crop and put the food on in the shape of manure. The nitrogen is in better shape, and there is less danger of humic acid from slow decomposi tion of green herbage in cold soil.” “Will it pay to raise artichokes as food for hogs?” This comes from a correspondent of the Courier-Journal. All the evidence favors the view that it will pay. Newspaper Advertising. DADCHf k GO., 27 Part Plaice, New York. Make lowest rates on all newspapers in the U. S. and Canada. Established 1867.
