Agricultural .Department,
Rotation in Gardening CropB.
All of our reader# are familiar with
the doctrine of rotation in lielii crops
of corn, cotton, wheat, and other pro
ductions on a large scale whethertney
practice it or not. Some experienced
gardeners who grow vegetables on a
large scale for market in our popu
lous olties, practice rotation in the
production of vegetables and find in
creased profit in it. They find an in
creased production, having discovered
that in the change, larger crops are
made than in cultivating the same
kind of vegetables on the same
ground for many successive years. It
came within the writer’s knowledge
to know that an experienced agricul
turist found a gradual diminution of
the crop of sweet potatoes grown on
a small field of nearly three acres, for
nearly five or six years, although the
land was manured in alternate years.
He changed his field and found a con
siderable increase in tlie crop. These
were the kind usually called sweet
potatoes, and he also found a consid-
er&Vde increase in the product of the
Irish potato, by ft change of grouud
•very t wo years, although the quantity
and kind of manure were the same in
the cultivation. Doubtless many
persons are aware of the utility of ro
tation iu garden production hut this
knowledge is confined mainly to
those who produce vegetables for
market in the large cities and towns.
From such information as we have
obtained on this subject it would seem
that the rotation consists more in the
change of ground than in the change of
manures that are used, still experience
will show that certain manures are
better for some vegetables than
others. We have sometimes thought
it. is a remissiiess, in the publishers of
Market Manuals, to omit stating the
kinds of manures best suited for the
production of the vegetables refer
red to especially those of the highest
excellence. But to return to the
main subjoot, rotation in gardens, we
think comparatively unimportant to
dwell upon what kind of vegetables
should follow cabbages, or peas, or
potatoes, or any other specified vege
tables. Hardens are usually contract
ed to spaces between half an aore or
t wo acres and we would suggest mere
ly a change of ground;cabbages for
instance should he changed from the
square of this year to another square
the next year, and so other vegeta
bles. At auy rate after two years de
voted to one vegetable It should he
grown on another plat, ami so of peas,
beets, vegetable oysters, and other
kinds. The great consideration is to
have the squares deeply broken up
and made rich and light.
We will next week suggest such seed
as may tie sown about that time and
follow it up Mainly for the benefit
of those who are inexperienced in
gardening. We once saw a young
man, then recently married, working
in his garden dropping English peas,
putting single peas a fool apart in the
row. He certainly needed counsel.
His young wife was situating by him
probably thinking of the many fine
rlislies of poH“ she would he able to
place upon the table for their mutual
enjoyment.
WISE ECONOMY.
The Courier Journal says: "We
Americans are not working our laud,
our horses, our cows, our men, our
selves, up to our real abilities. We pay
lor first cost, taxes and labor on three
acres to keep a cow, when one acre
will do as well or better. We keep
six horses to feed, stabling and har
ness to do the work that four horses
would do as well. We keep cows that
give but (MX) gallons of milk, or IPO
pounds of butter, which by better
breeding they could easily double the
production. Our extra horses and
cows and our lack of suitable arrange
ments require extra hands. More
headwork on the part* of the owner
would enable fewer men to do more
and better work.
One of the principal items in good
farming is, as much as possible, to in
crease the fertility of the soil, and
this can only be secured by turning
every thing of value as a fertilizer
to the best advantage.
The Western Wheat Crop.
C. A. King A (Jo., of Toledo, Ohio,
during the past forty-five days have
received 1,200 reports from grain deal
era and millers, covering nearly every
important wheat country in Ohio,
Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas
and Missouri. The reports show that
the wheat acreage sown this fall is a
trifle larger in Ohio, Illinois and In
diana. Kansas shows a slight de
crease and Michigan no change. The
1 outlook for the growing crop is very
favorable, many of the reports nay
never better. Nearly half of the last
crop remains in tiie Interior, country
mills and warehouses averaging half
full. Michigan lias the largest re
serves; Ohio next, while Indiana and
Missouri have marketed more freely.
Nearly half the reports say farmers
are disposed to crib their corn; over
one-third say they have none to spare
and the remainder are disposed to sell
now.
There is not much reason to doubt
that the cotton ports during the pres
ent season will maintain the same re
lative positions they did last w’ith re
spect to their cotton receipts. New
Orleans was first last year with 1,119,
869 hales, Savannah second with 655,
771, and Galveston third witli 580,381.
Speaking of Savannah the New Or
leans Times-Domocrat says: “Savan
nah lias been maintaining tlit* second
place in the list in all those years,
Railroad communication, cheap hand
ling and good ocean steam connections
probably account for the fact that the
Georgia city lias thus gone forward,
whereas most of the other Atlantic
ports have dropped back.”
FREE TRADE.
“Wood ashes and plaster make an
excellent fertilizer of all kinds of
grass crops and should be freely used
It is said that the pods of lima beans
are. injurious to hogs, though they
may be fed freely to cows.
The reduction of Internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Modlolnes, no doubt lias large
ly benelltted the consumers, as well as re
lieving the burden of home manufacturers.
Especially Is this the case with Hn-en's
August Flower and Boschce's German
Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents
per docon, lias been added to Increase the
size of t he bottles containing these reme
dies, thereby giving one-fifth more medi
cine In tbo 73 cent size. The August Flow
er for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and
the German Syrup fur Cough and Lung
Troubles, have perhaps, the largest sale
of any medicines In the world, l’he ad
vantage of Increased size of the bottles
will bn greatly appreciated by the sick
and afilicUsl, In every town and village in
civilized countries. Sample bottles for lu
cents remain the same size. hi uow ly.
Nitrogen in commercial manures is
generally rated as ammonia, although
no ammonia is present as from its vol
atile nature it could not be held; it is
In the form of “potential” ammonia,
that is a fertilizer containing 17 per
oent, of ammonia is known to contain
14 per cent, nitrogen wnich during
the process of decomposition in the
soil combines with 3 per cent, of hy
drogen to from 17 per cent, ofamonla;
the necessary hydrogen is also furn
ished through the decomposition of
water and other substances of which
it forms apart.
The Reckel pear originated near
Philadelphia before the Revolution.
A noted sportsman known as “Dutch
Jacob” used to bring home every fall
some small but delicious pears, declin
ing to tell anybody where heprocured
them. About, that period the London
Land Company, which owned some
land below the city, made a sale, and
“Dutch Jacob" purchased the lot
upon which his pear tree stood. It,
afterward became the property of
Mr. Seckel, and, as he permitted nur
serymen to take grafts and buds from
the trees, they gave the fruit Ids
name.
“Consumption Can be Cared."
Dr. J. 8. Combs, Owensville, Ohio,
says: “I have given Scott's Emul
sion of Cod Liver Oil with Hypophos-
phltes to four patients with better re
sults than seemed possible with any
remedy. All were hereditary cases
of Lung disease, and advanced to
ttiat stage when Coughs, pain in the
ohest, frequent breathing, frequent
pulse, fever, and Emaciation. All
these cases have increased in weight
from 10 to 28 lbs., and arc not now
needing any medicine. I prescribe
no other Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil
with Hypophosphites, Lime and So
da, but Scott’s bolieving it to be tiie
best.”
Corn is cheap, and as a consequence
it does not pay to seuil half-fat sheep
to market. The man who would do
so under the present condition of tiie
grain and mutton market must be
considered somewhat deficient in
judgment. Feed tiie thrifty weth
ers tiie cheap corn and make them
fat. _
Chicks a month are six weeks old
will now need special care to make
them prosper advantageously. They
should he well and regularly red, care
fully housed at night, and constantly
be looked after in wet weather.
In England they are now register
ing goats and kids from good milking
families. Although it is being ridicul
ed, there is no reason for refusing to
separate serviceable goats from those
that are of but little value.

Renews Ber Youth
Mrs. Phoebe Chosley, Peterson, Clay Co.,
Iowa, tells the following remarkable story
the truth of which is vouched for by t lie
residents of the town: "I am 73 years old,
have been troubled with kidney couipluint
and lamensss for many years; could not
dress myself without help. Now I am
iree from all pain nnd soreness, and am
able to do all my own housework. I owe
my thanks to Electric Bitters for having
renewed my youth, and removed com
pletely all disease and pain.”
