Hints for the Garden.

!. Prepare ground, and plant ear
ly potatoes Immediately. AS these
are not grown for late keeping, but
for immediate use during summer, a
course OF forcing may be pursued
The land should be well drained, and
the soil in good heart. Neshsnnocks
will force well; many, however. pre-.
fer the more fancy Ash .leaved Kid.
ney.
II. Beets should now be sown in
good, deep, well drained soil. 1t is
folly to expect a fine crop of beets in
poor, shallow land. Manure for beets
should be Thoroughly rotted, and the
ground made mellow. When there
are any Jumps and the young root
comes in contact with one, it diVerges,
and becomes permanently crooked,
spelling its appearance. The Long
Smooth Blood is an excellent market
sort. The Bassano is earlier, but
white, the quality good.
iii. Celery should be sown in
drills, in good soil. The surface Of
the bee should be kept moist. If it is
allowed to become alternately dry and
wet several times, the seed is apt to
be destroyed.
w. For an early crop Of carrots,
SOW the Early Horn. The Long
Orange is best for tall and winter use.
Good, deep, mellow soil is the best for
the carrot. The deeper the better, if
we'll underdrained. Parsnips should
also be spwn at this time.
V. Early radiShes should be sown
Immediately in new land, Or that
which has not been recently manured.
A sandy loan is the best. lfmanure
is used, the plants become wormy and
worthless.
vi. The best early turnip for this
section is the White Strap leaved. -
The Early Stone is seldom raised in
perfection. 1t does not succeed -
The best soil for !urnips is a good,
rich, black loan. Ii not naturally
rich, it should be made SO by manure
that is well rotted. Fresh manure is
not suited to garden crops, as it often
gives them a somewhat disagreeablH
flavor.
VII. The soil around pie.plant or
rhubard should now be well torked
up, !oosening it thoroughly, and ad-
mitting the air and moisture. Care
should be taken not to injure the large
roots. Strawberry beds must now be
cleaned, removing all weeds. If the
soil is loosened, so much the better. !
VIII. All garden crops are best
when sown in drills. Fifteen inches
apart is good distance, except for
the largest growing kinds. The crop
is easier kept clean, and the ground
can be often stirred. This is difficult
to do we'll when the seed is Gown
broadcast %. Farmer.

Bones FOR TURNIPs.-W Where land
is in tolerable condition, sixteen bush,
els of ground bones to the acre, it is
said, will produce a good crop of tur
nips.
CONCENTRATED MANUREs.-Land
cannot live on concentrated manure;
there must be uoiums to the food for
land, as well as to that of animals
Concentrated manure, for land, like
soup for the body, is good if there is
enough other food for volume. This
volume must be supplied from the
barnyard,
CHARcoAL.--Charcoal (carbon)
possesses nutritive properties. Pul.
veIized charcoal should always be
kept where fowls, that are tattening,
can have access to it. On the same
quality and quantity of food, a turkey,
with charcoal, will weigh pound and
a half, when fully fattened, more than
one fattenel the same time without
charcoal.
TURNIps AS MANURE.--It has been
found by experiment that a crop of
turnips plowed under, will produce a
better crop of grain, than when har-
vested, fed ont to sheep, and the land
from the excremtnts. An
old friend of ours, for years, kept his
orchard in the highest stage of cult.
vaton by growing crops ofturnips and
annually plowing them under.

are equally preserved from bugs, by

even if the liquid touch the plant, il
will not do any injury.
SOAP SUDs.-R.collect that soap

most capital manure for currant bush.

thrown away, as is most generally
done on washing days, it should be al.
lowed to cool, and then, in connection
with the chamber lye Of the house, be
poured around the roots Of pie plants,
grape vines, &c. A trial of it one
season will satisfy any one of the good
results to be gained.
