The best process Tor masking soft
soap is simply This: First, procure
good ashes, place half peek of cans-
tic OF water Stacked lime, in the bot
tom of the leach, for each barrel of
ashes; if air Stacked, the quantity
must be larger, according TO the time
it has been exposed 10 the air. it
is usual TO place straw below the
lime, 10 prevent the water from Car
ryipg it off in PARTICLES. Place the
ashes on the lime, beating it CON-
pactIy MS each successive layer is
supplied, till the leach is full. If
not beaten solid, the water will run
through TOO soon, and the I've will
be weak. A stout barrel slightly IN
cliued, with hole bored through
the bottom, makes a good leach. 1t

The water poured upon the ashes
should be hot, until the lye begins
10 run, and the time that should
elapse after the water first applied
till it passes through as I've. should
not be less than twenty-four houls;
If sooner, the ashes has not been
beaten sufficiently, and the I've will
be too weak. 1t will continue TO run
as long as water is applied, but al
the same time growing weaker, as
the potash becomes carried off.
If the ashes could be perfectly
fresh no lime would be required in
the leach, rs when first burned, ashes
are caustic, but gradually losa this
quality by absorbing carbonic acid
from the air. The lime abstract:
this carbODic acid, and renders the
lye again eaustic.
IF lye is not strong enough tt

Change of Seed.

TFHE importance to farmers of changing seeds
from different sections of the country, and
also of obtaining the best varieties, has become
settled fact, and has been fully demonstrated
in Orleans County for the last three years
There have been several articles in the Standard
the past winter. signed by some of the most en-
inent farmers in the c1untry, testifying to the
fact of raising about forty bushels of wheat to the
acre, or to say the least, of uncommonly large
crops.
The facts about these large crops are simply
these About three years since, Metcalf, Nc
Lellan 81 Co. commenced bringing wheat from
the west, when the idea occurred TO some of our
farmers who have no objections to large crops,
Of making this change OF seed. Since that time
the demand for western seed has increased and
Metcalf, Mcclellan & Co have taken care by per-
sonal inspection to secure the best of seed and
| this spring we have attended to the matter, and
now have good supply OF choice seed wheat fol
all who may wish to adopt what others have
tried and found to produce some sixty and some
an hundred fold.
This wheat can be found at the Glover Flour
J. ing Mill. Farmers. attend TO your own interest.
and secure your seed in season.

NOW 10 RAISE EARLY POTATOES.

A dish of new, mealy potatoes, about
the middle of June, is not to be despised.
They are good upon the table, and by no
means bad in the barrel, on their way
to lively market, at one to two dollars
a bushel, and upwards. There is diff
ference Of month or two in the time re-
CURED by different varieties to nature
This fact is often overlooked by farmers,
and they continue planting only the late
sorts, and have no new potatoes until
August. Early varieties are first es-
sential in getting an early harvest. The
Mercer or Chenango will maturein about
twelve weeks, and with forcing, in ten.
1t is not so apt to rot when forced, as
when planted late. The Early Sover-
eign. Carpenter, Studley's Seeding,
Wendelrs Seeding, Dykeman, and the
early June, requires still shorter season,
say from six to twelve days. In almost
every section of the country there are
early potatoes, probably quite as good as
any Of these.
There are several methods Of fastening
their maturity. A favorite method with
the German market gardeners is, to bring
the seed potatoes in barrels into warm
room, about the first of March. The eyes
start rapidly, and in about two or three
weeks they are ready to plant. Another
method, which we have practiced for
some years, is TO start the potatoes in a
gentle hot-bed, about the middle of
March. The tubers are cut in halves,
and laid fiat side down upon the bed, as
thick as they can be placed. They are
then covered with about two inches OF
garden mould, and the sashes are put
over them. As soon as they are up two
or three inches, they are ready to trans
plant. They should be removed care
fully, separating the roots with as little
breaking as possible, and put in the
drills where they are to grow. As they
do not yield a full crop under this treat
, ment, they can be planted closer, thar
common field culture, say in drills thirty
, inches apart, putting the hills twelve in
{ ches apart in the drill.
A warm, sandy loan, sloping to tn,
south or southeast, should be selected 70
= the crop. 1t should be well manuret
r with horse dung, about half OF it apple,
: in the drills. Some manure their ground
n for early potatoes in the Fall, and this is
: we think, good plan for that part of tn
$ manure which is applied broadcast
: Fresh horse-dung in the drills raises tn
S temperature of the soil, and hastens thei
= growth.
IS To the above, written by one of GU
n associates, we will add that we have SUI
ceeded well on small scale, thus: Tw
or three weeks before the time when
will probably do to plant out, tax
" pieces of turf or sod, say four to fiv
inches square, and put piece of potato
r. in each. These are set closely togetit
where they can be watered as needle
and can be exposed to sunshine. Wnel
ever there is cold night, or "cold snaE
straw is put on to keep them from free
ut ing. They sprout and fill the turf wi
ck roots. AT the proper time the pieces a
Il set in the ground, one piece in hill, al
o. the growth is hardly checked. The tu
nc itself also acts as manure to aid t
n' growth. In this way two to four wee
may be gained.-Agriculturist.
