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. Poor, pretty, little, blue-eyed baby! How he coughs!
