Broom Corn,
This crop seems to have been aban
doned almost entirely by our farmers al.
though it will be seen from the follow
ing figures is not only a paying
srop, but excellent for stock and poul
try.
Among the reports of tho Massachu
setts Agricultural Society, on broom
corn culture, is one which the net proa
flits on one acre of broom- corn are put
at $80.72, estimated the brush at seven
per cent, per pound and (beseed worth4s
cent per bushels or in other words a crop
of 1,159 pounds of brush and 88 bushel
of seed to the acre.
Many farmers make no uso of the
seed, while others strip it carefully from
the brush and find it an excellent food
during the winter for geese and chick
ens. and cattle. It should be planted
on good, strong land three quarts of seed
to an acre, cultivated as if corn, and
when the corn has grown to full size,
bend down tho top to about one foot be>
low the brush. That on whichjtno seed is
to ripen do not break nntil the seed is
ripo j on the other before, and in such
manner as to expose the brush to the sun
as little as possible so as to presevre "its
color.
One point oftea negleetcd by those
who have little experience, is caie after
cutting—avoidance of rain and damp
ness. Very fine brush is often injured
or spotted by injudicious packiug in
bundles before it is cured.
Tho Flower Garden.
Most if not all flowers succeed best
in sandy land made rich by thorough
mixiDg with well rotted manure. Such
a soil thus prepared, will not become
hard or baked, but will remain loose
and porous, affording the small and ten
der plauts chance existence and en*
abling them to perfect themselves with
vigor and beauty. If your garden is
composed by a stiff, hoavy soil a good
dressing of sand and manure will Saisfc
it wonderfully in the way of plant devel
opment and some of the most delicate
plants that would net succeed at all in
such soil in its unimproved conditon,
will after such preperation flurish in the
most satisfactory manner. Seed should
not be sowd in spring uotil sufficient
warmth and dryness have been imparted
to the soil. YVhen the soil will spade
op mellow crumbling i to pieces when
struck by the spade it. s in proper con*
dition to be worked. If fine seed is to
be used sow it ou the surface, and
press it evenly with a smooth piece of
board. If sown too deep, the
seed will perish. Mistakes are often
made in this particular and the want
of success is unwittingly laid at the
door of the seedsman. Hardy plants bear
more rough treatment from the weather
than the hall hardy therefore to avoid
the results of * failure the seed of the
latter should not be sown early as tho
former.
.Vlakc tlic most of Your Produce.
Next in importance to the knolwedge
of how to raise a good, crop comes the
question of sending it to market in such
shape as shall not only secure a ready
and piofitable sale but acquire for the
sender reputation that shall oauso his
brands to be sought after by dealers
Good articles only should be sent as
the freight and expences are as heavy
ou inferior goods as on those of first
quality and the former cannot be ex
pected to sell as well. Tidy and secure
packiug is the next points to attend to,
as tho clean and tidy appearance of a
packige will often attract attention and
secure a sale, where had the goods been
packen in a dirty, slovenly manner they
would havo beon passed over altogether
Every package should have
clearly marked on the outside and
should be accompanied by an invoice,
showing the number of packages, with
she concents of eaoh and the rout and
date of shipping.
When people feel the need of an acid
if they wou and let vinegar alone and use
lemon and apples, th ’y would feel as
well satisfied and receive no injury. A
suggestion may not come amiss as to a
good plan, when lemons are cheap in
market, to make good lemon syrup. —
Press your band on the lemon and roll it
back and forth briskly on the table to
mako it squeeze more easily ; then press
the juico into a bowl or tumbler—nov
cr into a tin, strain out all the seed as
they give a bad tasto. Remove all the
pulp from the peels and boil in water
—a pint for a dozen puips—to extract
tho acid. A few minutes boiling is
enough ; then strain the water with
juice of the lemon, put a pound of white
sugar to a pint of the juice ; boil 10
minutes, bottle it, and your lemonade is
ready. Put a tablespoonful or two of
ibis lemon syrup in a glass of water,
and you have a cooling healthful drink.
—
To destroy plant parasites, carbolic
acid is as good as anything else known
to nurserymen. The acid may be mix
ed with water in parts and liberally
plied to the skin. Tho dark-colored im
pure acid is preferable to the pure spec
imen J-<onie of the allied products being
more destructive to the parasites than
the genuine carbolic acid. The ad
dition of a little tobacco liquor wil
make the mixture even more efficient.
Furniture Polish. —Equal propor
tion of turpentine, linseed oil and vine>
gar, thoroughly applied and that rubbec
with flannel, is an excellent furniture
polish.
