It will pay to follow our advice to
plant such seeds as afford the most
desirable vegetables, every ten or
twelve days. This will always keep a
supply during the season.
Taxing Olkomakgarink.—Taxing
oleomargarine will probably have
some effect in saving cotton seed for
feeding stock instead of getting the
oil out of it to make into imitation
butter.
CliKAP VlNKGAR.—One who has
often tried it tells thus how any family
can have cheap and good vinegar.
Put a pint of molasses in n jug and
pour over it one gallon of warm water.
The water mu9t not be boiling. Let
it stand for two months and it will be
good vinegar.
Some experienced farmers say that
cholera, among hogs, will constantly
occur if they are fed on nothing but
corn. If farmers will feed their hogs
on mixed food they will never be
troubled with cholera. Those farm
ers who use mixed food for them say
they are never affected with that dis
ease. ’
Worth Knowing.—A poison of
any conceivable description anti de
gree of potency, having been swallow
ed, intentionally or by accident
may be rendered instantly harmless
by swallowing two gills of sweet oil.
An individual with a very strong con
stitution should tnke twice the quan
tity. This oil will neutralize every
form of vegetable or mineral poison
with which the physiciuu and chem
ists are acquainted.
There is not one garden in a hun
dred tfiat is rich enoagli for the best
results. A ha f acre will be enough
for a good sized family if manured and
worked properly. Two orthree crops,
of a number of vegetables, can be ob
tained from the same square or plat
in the same year, if suitably enriched;
such as peas, beets, spinach, carrots,
turnips, cabbages, Irish potatoes,
corn, cucumbers, squashes, radishes
and snap beans, and some others. If
the ground is sufficiently manured
two crops can be obtained in succes
sion without any manure for the
second crop, and very little will be
needed for the third. If the land is
first rate, three crops can be obtained
with only one manuring.
Cows are as liable to founder as
horses, or at least, they will show the
characteristic lameness of this disease
after overfeeding on almost anything.
We have seen it where apples, pota
toes or green corn were the articles
with which the stomach was over
loaded. Any such ration fed to ex
cess will stop at once the flow of milk
in the best cow, and it will take sever
al days of careful management to re-
store’it.—Courier Journal.
It is often of the greatest impor
tance to a crop that the cultivation^
should be done at a certain stage of
growlii or condition of soil; for exam
ple. un heavy clay lands a heavy rain
forms a crust’ which should lie broken
as soon as possible after the land is
drv enough to work. The farmer who
undertakes to cultivate forty acres
with one team is obliged to neglect
this at this critical time, and liis crop
is often permanently injured.—Peo
ple's Farm and Stock Cyclopedia.
This illustrates what we have often
stated, the danger of attempting to
cultivate too much land. The safest
and best policy is to cultivate only as
many acres as can he worked in every
contingency at the proper time.
Whole crops have been ruined by at
tempting too much.
Sir J. K. Lawes, the English experi
menter, alleges that by actual trial he
has proved that a ton of cotton seed
meal which costs about $31.50 perton,
is worth as a manure, after it has pas
sed through the animals whichconMini-
edit, *82.35. This sounds huge and will
no doubt he called in question. Hut
whether this can be demonstrated
outside of Itothamstead or not, it can
not be doubted that the manorial
value of cotton seed meal is very gen
erally underestimated.
Clothes dipped into hot potato wa
ter are said to afford immediate and
complete relief in the severest cases
of rheumatism.
To stop bleeding at the nose place a
small roll of paper or muslin above
the front teeth, under the upper lip,
and press hard on the same.
TO OBTAIN EGGS.
Many persons give their cliickeiiM as
much corn as they will eat hoping to
get a plenty of eggs. Of course they
arc disappointed, and will always be
so. as long as they are fed in that
way. Mix egg-shells, beat up with
their food or chalk, or old lime mortar
and they will lay three times ns many
eggs as without it. These contain
carbonate of lime without which a
hen will not lay eggs with the beat
will iu the world. Try it and see liow
they will lay. No matter liow they
are fed they will not lay in the cold
winter time as well as in warm weath
er. But if they can get the shells or
carbonate of lime, they will lay twice
as many in the winter as they would
in the summer without it, if their
house is close and warm.
Have a Plenty of Fodder.
It is injurious to horses to feed them
on too much corn if there be a scarce-
ty of fodder. It is always an easy mat
ter to have a plenty of long food. If
one is likely to lack a plenty of fod
der, or other such food, sow early on
an acre, or more if needed, about 2j
or 8 bushels of good sound corn. It
is bad policy to waste the corn by
sowing on poor land. First break up
the land arid make wide and deep
drills with a long shovel. If the land
is not pretty rich open the drills about
2i feet ajmrt and scatter a good quan
tity of good manure in them, ana bow
the corn in them at the rate of 2.J
bushels to the acre. When it conies
up and is 6 inches nigh, run a shovel
in the centre and let it alone until it
tassels, when it should be cut and dri
ed for fodder. More than an acre may
be thus sown if the number of stock
should require it. One acre, of good
land that will bring the corn four or
five feet high, will make a fine quan
tity of fodder corn. It might be cut
and fed green, if some should be need
ed before it is all cut for fodder. If
well shocked a rain will not injure it
much. But It would be best to shock
it under a shelter.
From New Farm.
Treason Roadsides.
In some of the cities of Europe, the
children have been taught that when
ever they eat nice fruit of any Kind,
they must plant the seed of it on the
side of the road, along which they are
accustomed to travel.
Of course, the instruction given thus
early remains with them, so that
when grown up, they continue the
practice; and it is a common thing to
see a person plant his peach stone, or
hi8pluw stone, his pear or apple seed,
wherever he chances to be when he
finishes eating the fruit.
Comparatively few of these may
ever become fruit bearing trees; but
so many are planted in the aggregate
that in some parts of Europe the roads
are pretty well bordered with these
trees, adding greatly to the beauty
of the country.
It is not, however, necessary in our
young land to wait for roadside trees
tiutil they can be grown from the seed.
With the care that can be given them,
good sized trees can he safely trans
planted, and we would advocate that
youug trees, whether of fruit or foli
age it matters little, be planted along
every country road.
If every young boy and girl should
make it a point to plant one tree each
year by the roadside, how very soon
would our couutry roads be a blessing
to the eyes, atid comfort to both man
and beast.
Some of our prominent institutions
are establishing Arbor days, when the
students shall each plant a tree of
some kind in selected localities, and
this is an excellent practice.
11 would, indeed, be a splendid thing
could Arbqr days be established every
where in our country, and both old
and young join in its celebration, by
planting out some kind of a tree, val
uable for fruit or for beauty.
The latest crop reports from the
great potato-growing sections indicate
a probability that the prices of pota
toes this year will advance far beyond
the figures reached during the last two
lanted
with this crop has been somewhat be-
1/M« Inut tll6 olnmaf nil

or three years. The area pli
me
low last year's, the yield in almost all
sections is less than au average,
is
while the great enemy, rot, is re
ducing the crop one-half or more in
all the principal potato districts.—
Our friends, who nave grown sound
tubers, should be careful in liarves
ting, saving and and disposing of them,
so as to make the most of these cir
cumstances. At all events, the careful
grower not throw his potato crop
away this year or—what is about the
same—sell it for a mere song. To pre
vent the spores of the rot fungus from
reaching the tubers in the hills it is
recommended to cover the potatoes
with a few’ inches of soil, either by
plowing a furrow upon the rows or
by drawing the soil over the hills
with a hoe. The rot spores fall from
the foliage upon the ground, and find
ing there warmth and moisture, ger
minate immediately, but die from lack
of proper food before reaching the tu
bers.—[Farm and Garden.
England requires from 150,000 to
110.000 bales of hops from abroad each
year to make up her shortage. Ger
many usually supplies this need but,
this year she is snort of hops. With
70.000 bales short in this country in
the 1880 crop, and 150,000 bales short
in England, it is useless to look to
Germany to supply such deficiency.
Hence there must be a strong market
for any surplus hops of 1884 and 1880.
