Early or Late Planting.
Is it best to plant as early as possible
or to defer this work as long as can be
safely done ? This is a question in which
all farmers are interested, and to which
each year they are practically obliged
to reply. While there are many advo
cates for each of these extremes, I
think there is a “ golden mean ” which
will lead to much better results. Eith
er of the extremes are open to grave
objections, which do not lie against a
time half way between. It is true, as
the advocates of early planting claim,
that if the seed is got into the ground
very early, the work is done and out of
the way of other things which then
need attention. But the objections to
this course are that the ground and
weather are so cold early in the season
that the seed either rots in the ground
or else is a long while coming up; olten
falls a prey to wire worms ; the plants,
if any appear, are tender and grow very
slowly, while the weeds, which are more
hardy, at once go in and possess the
land. Late planting is not open to
these objections, but it is open to some
which are quite serious. If the season
is backward, and the planting is put off
as late as possible, the plants are not
large enough to be hoed more than
once before haying-time, and there is
danger that the crop will not be fully
matured before the autumn frosts. I
think the best way is to begin the prep
aration of the land quite early, plow,
and get it nearly fitted to receive the
feed. Keep plowing and fitting, but do
not put in the seed until both ground
and weather are warm. Then go over
the land with a harrow, in order to de
stroy the weeds which have started up.
and also to make a fine bed for the seed,
and do the planting as soon as possible.
Then the c-op will get as good a start
as the weeds, grow rapidly, he ready for
the second or third hoeing before time
for getting hay, and have abundant
time in which to get perfectly ripe.—

Freak of an Apple Tree.
Doubts are entertained by some po
mologists as regards the truth of the
statement made that apples have been
grown in which two or more varieties
were blended ipto one, that is apples
having one section sweet and the other
sour. The Boston Journal of Chemis
try says : We have seen such fruit and
therefore know that it has been pro
duced. A tree bearing apples of this
nature formerly stood in a gentleman’s
garden in Georgetown, Mass. It was of
large size, and in some years produced
several bushels of fruit.
The owner sold the apples as curiosi
ties, and frequently individual speci
mens brought large prices. It was ex
ceedingly interesting to examine the
crop, as one apple differed widely from
another, and there was difficulty in find
ing two precisely alike. A few were
found in which almost exactly one-half
was sweet and the other sour. But a
majority were made up differently.—
Sections, one-quarter or one-sixteenth,
more or less, would be sweet or sour,
and the remainder would be of the op
posite kind.
The line of demarcation on the skin
was clearly defined, the sour portion
having a reddish color, while the sweet
was of a pale green. There was no
mistaking the flavor; the sour portion
was very sour, and the sweet very
sweet. On the same tree apples grew
which were uniform in kind, some be
ing entirely sweet, and others being en
tirely sour. Thispomological freak was
brought about by a careful process of
budding, two buds of different varieties
being divided and one half of each
joined together, so as to adhere and
grow in that condition. As none of this
fruit has been seen of late years, we
conclude the tree has perished.
Profitable Ileus.
A correspondent writes from Nor.,
wich, Api il sth : The Observer of the
Ist inst. reports 75 dozen eggs from 33
hens, in five months, at Newburyport.
Allow me to set up a Brahma with 17
hens and a Plymouth lKck with 15
hens, to crow louder. The 33 hens
layed 1,680 eggs or 140 dozen in the
same time, from November 1, 1874, to
April 1, 1875, yielding S7O, as I ac
tually sold them from 35 to 45 eents a
dozen. I set G hens March 10th, and
my horse hurt one. I have an assort
ment of chickens now, two weeks ear
lier than last year. Eggs weigh from
21 to 4 ouuces each. From one large
one I got two chickens, one was white
and one black.
I send this to prove there is a profit
in keeping hens. Wheat screenings
cost, for five months, S3O. The hens
would bring in market now $35, at 20
cents a pound. But being healthy, vig
orous and fat, and choice to breed
from, would sell alive for at least
S4O.
Last September I sold young roos
ters, dressed, weighing from 41 to 6
pounds each, at 30 cents per pound.—
After the hens layed through Septem
ber, we killed them off, some weighing
71 pounds, and kept early pullets for
eggs.

Salt on Wheat.
Some soils are benefitted by an appli
cation of salt, but we do not believe
there is an efficacy in it to keep wheat
from freezing out. Thorough urainiug
is the remedy for that. Every one
knows or ought to know, the value of
ashes as a fertilizer. Salt furnishes
two of the most importaut elements of
the ashes of plants —sodium aud chlo
ride, and hence it will be valuable to
land deficient in these. Every farmer
must determine for himself whether
his land needs salt, or any other sub
stance. Sow salt on alternate strips of
your wheat, marking where you sowed
and where you did not. and then observe
the difference in the crop next year.—
Where the constituents are wanting,
wheat will always lodge, even though
the crop of straw be light. If you have
been troubled with this, salt will be
useful, though we should prefer to mix
with the manure. Professor Mapes’
famous recept is : One bushel of salt,
three bushels of marl; let it lie under
cover four months, then mix it with one
cord of muck. This is no doubt a val
uable mixture for sandy land. Where
salt is sown broadcast, do it after the
Wheat is sown, giving from one to five
bushels per aere, Mr, Gedds, of New
York, in an essay on salt as a manure,
comes to these conclusions: “ Some
soils have enough of salt, and more ad
ded does an injury. Lands away from
the sea coast are greatly benefitted by
light applications but heavy quantities
are injurious even there."— Ohio Farm

Strawberry Culture.
Avery successful strawberry raiser
near Cincinnati, gives the following as
the essential“requisites for the best suc
cess, and consequently the most econo
mical mode of management: 1. Clean,
rich soil ; one that is entirely free from
weeds and its seeds, which has been
subjected to perfectly clean culture fur
a year previously, either with a hoed
crop or summer fallow. Buckwheat is
found to be a good crop to precede
strawberries. 2. Planting in spring,
not in summer or autumn, and after the
severe frosts have past, as they some
times at that place badly injure newly
set plants. 3. Selecting good plants,
of the previous year’s growth that have
not born fruit, and keeping flower buds
cut so as nut to bear the first year. The
plants are fifteen feet apart, in rows
three feet asunder. 4.
for cultivating thoroughly, with small
plow, cultivator, shovel plow, small
round-toothed harrow, hoe Ac. 5. Plant
in clusters in the row (not matted rows)
with runers cut off. 6. Mulching with
oat straw late in autumn, and raking it
way into the space in spring; and not
disturbing the soil till the fruit is gath
ered. The first crop is always largest
and best, and hence only one crop is ta
ken—which also obviates more labori
ous subsequent weeding. Wilson’s is
exclusively planted.

Experiments With Honey.
During the past autumn I have expe
rimented as follows :
I put up six one-pound cans of beau
tiful linden honey, being careful to
make it one homogeneous mass by stir
ring. It was thrown from the cones by
an extractor on July 20, and put into
cans on August 1. The cans were
placed respectively as follows : One in
a dark, dry cellar, one each under
shades of red, yellow, green and blue
glass and the sixth can in full light.—
On November 8 the honey in the cellar
candied to a white. November 22 to
December 10, honey under colored
shades candied, first in the red, next in
the yellow, green and blue ; while the
honey in full light remained transpa
rent until January, when it soon can
died after exposure to intensely cold
weather. From my experience an equal
temperature would preserve certain
kinds of honey, while other kinds would
candy under almost any circumstances
I think that candied honey, instead of
being looked upon with disfavor, should
be recognized as evidently pure. I
hope, however, that the above experi
ments will lead others to follow up the
light theory with beneficial resulus.—
From a Correspondent of the Scientific
American.

How to Work. —As order is kept
by having a place for everythnig, and
keeping everything in its place, so work
succeeds best when it is rightly done,
and at the right time. There are a
best and a worst way of doing every
thing, and a best and a worst time for
doing it. One who has well considered
his season’s work and has a list of all
that has to be done will go right; one
labor will follow another with regularity,
and all will be well done. Every job
should tell. There should be no making
holes and filling up again on a farm, no
hand work where machines can be used ;
no small weeds left to grow large ; no
manure kept wasting by the rain or
baked in the sun while crops are starv*
ing for it; no work done twice over ;no
cattle starved or allowed to suffer and
fail, to be restored at a greater cost
than they are worth; everything should
be ahead, and work must be driveu and
not be allowed to drive. The head must
guide the hands always.
<
Making Vinegar. —To eight gal
lons of clear ra ; n water add 3 qrts. of
molasses; put into a good cask, shake
well a few times, and add 2 or 3 spoon
fuls of good yeast cakes. If in summer,
place the cask in the sun; in winter,
near the chimney where it may warm.
In ten or fifteen days add to this liquid
a sheet of brown paper torn in strips
and dipped in molasses. The paper will
in this way form what is called the
“ mother," or life of vinegar.
Heaves in Horses. —To three
quarts of sweet milk add a teaspoonful
ot sulphuric acid; mix this with the
horse’s food; give three times a week ;
afterwards once or twice as there may
be seen occasion for a week longer.

THE SUN !
WEEKLY AND DAILY FOR 1875.
The approach of the Presidential election
gives unusual importance to the events aiul
developments of 1875. We shall endeavor to
describe them fully, faithfuily and foarless
- I
YTHE WEEKLY SUN has now attained
a circulation of over seventy thousand
copies. Its readers are found in every
State and Territory, and its quality is well
known to the public. We shall not only en
deaver to kaep it fully up to the old stand
ard- but to improve and add to its variety
and power.
THE WEEKLY SUN will continue to be
a thorough newspaper. All the new' of the
day will be found in it, condensed when un
important, at full length when of moment,
and always, we trust, treated in a clear,
interesting and instructive manner.
It is our aim to make the WEEKLY SUN
the best family newspaper in the world. It
will be full ol entertaining and appropriat
reading of every sort, but will print nothing
to offend the most scrupulous and delicate
taste. It will always contain the most in
teresting stories and romances of the day,
carefully relected and legibly printed.
The Agricultural Department is a promi
nent feature in the WEEKL? SUN, and its
articles will always be found fresh and
useful to the farmer.
The number of men independent in poli
tics is increasing, and the WEEKLY SUN
is their paper especially. It belong* to no
party, and obeys no dictation, contending
for principle, and for the election of the
best men. It exposes the corruption that
disgraces the couutry and threatens the
overthrow of republican institutions. It
has no fear of knaves, and seeks no favors
from their supporters.
The markets of every kind and the fash
ions are regularly roported in its columns.
The price of the WEEKLY SUN is one
dollar a year for a sheet of eight pages,
and fifty-six columns. As this barely pays
the expenses of paper and printing, we are
not able to make any discount or allow any
premium to friends who may make special
efforts to extend its circulation. Under the
new law, which requires payment of pos
tage in advance, one dollar a year, with
twenty cents the cost of prepaid postage
added, is the rate of subscription. It is not
necessary to get up a club in order to have
the W EEKLI SUN at this rate. Adj oue
who sends one dollar and twenty cento nill
get tfye paper, post paid, for a year
We have no traveling agents.
THE WEEKLY SUN —Eight pages,
fifty-six columns. Only §1.20 a year,.
postage prepaid. No discounts from this rate-
THE DAILY SUN—A large four-page*
newspaper of twenty-eight columns. Daily
circulation over 120,000. All the news for
