STARTING SEEDS EARLY Rev. Daniel EN-.
erson. Summit County, Ohio, writes that he
has been successful in giving garden seeds
an early start, in the following manner:
Having selected the quantity needed, each
sort is tied up by itself in a cloth, the name
being plainly written on slip of paper and
enclosed with the seed. The packages are
then buried about two inches deep in the
earth for week or two. When ready TO
plant the kinds needed for planting are TAX
en- from the bags and used. They will be
found TO have swelled, perhaps sprouted,
and ready 10 grow. If the ground should
be quite dry, il is best to water the drill af.
Ter dropping the seeu ana r,ruu vu,err;,h
dry earth.
Mr.. Z. says BY that plan he has never
failed TO raise plants from every seed plant.
ed, though when put u2 they were often
sprouted. If each seed is placed where i,
is wanted 10 grow it will save the labor of
thinning, though many prefer 10 thin their
rows, leaving The most prominent plants TO
grow.

DIARIES AND BONE MANuRR.-An English
paper in commenting upon this subject re
marks that the Cheshire dairy farmer, by
the free use of bone manure laid on his
grass lands, makes him farm, which at one
time, before the application of bone ma.
nure, fed only twenty head of cows, now
feed 40! In Cheshire twothirds or more,
generally three fourths, of dairy farm are
kept in perfect pasture, the remainder in
,illage. Its dairy farmers are commonly
bound to lay the whole of their manure, not
NOT on the arabic, but on The grass land,
purchasing what may be necessary for the
arabic. The chief improvement, besides
drainage, consists in the application of bone
manure. In the milk of each COW, in its
urine, in its manure, in the bones of each
calf reared and sold of, farm parts with
as much earthly phosphate of lime as is con-
tanned in half a hundred weight of bone
dust.

LEAoHED AsHEs.-Thoroughy leached ash.
es contain no potash. In some places how.
ever, they are not leached thoroughly aud
such ashes, when applied do good. Oc-
casionally lime is mixed with them pre-.
vious TO teaching, TO increase the caustici,y;
when this is the case, this lime will pro.
duce good effect on soils destitute of it. All
ashes contain more or less charcoal; this
absorbs ammonia from the air, or substances
containing it, when brought in contact, and
this ammonia is given out of plants during
their process of growth. The charcoal is
therefore useful. when applied 10 the soil,
as fixer of ammonia, and it is one of the
BEST 1t the soil wants potash, leeched
ashes will not supply the ZACH; if ammonia,
