Two Crops in one Season.

II is one Of the advantages Of rich soils
well cultivated, that two crops can he taken
of the same land in one year. But it re
auires management and strict attention,
in having the two crcps so arranged that the
one does not interfere materially with the
other OF course those best adapted for
nterlining with others, are such as come
early to maturity, so that by the time the
second crop has got fairly hold Of the
ground, the first one is done and ready to
clear of. Any of the cabbage family come
in well for interlming, especially if good
stout plants are obtained for the purpose.
Take for example the potato crop intended
for digging for early use. These, at the
very outside, will be clean gone from the
beginning Of August, and sometimes in
July, and late cabbage do not begin to grow
until after that time, so that the potato crop
serves as shelter from the sun and wind TO
the cabbage, rather than offer any impedi-
ment to their growth. In practice, we pro.
ceed as follows: Take stick, or the handle
Of the hoe or rake, and turn back the haulen
of the potatoes from each row. Now set
your plants in these channels between the
rows, two feet apart. In digging the pota-
toes it will require little care so as not to
injure the cabbage, and if the plants have
got stout enough, the whole ground may be
leveIled nicely about them. This stirring
Uf the soil and giving abundance Of room,
will give them an immense stimuIous, which
they will soon profit by =; and as they will
stand at least five feet apart in the rows,
there will be plenty of room to run the
plow freely among them, and perhaps the
cultivatOr. Onions is another crop that
comes off in good season, and which may
grow a crop Of cabbage easily enough If
lined in every third row. If treated in this
way, the only requisite will be in the Sc
lection Of another spot to harvest the onions
on to. Celery is successfully grown be-
tween rows of early corn. This, as mat
ter Of course, gives q considerable saving
Of land, and the cornstalks afford a famous
shelter to the young celery, which is highly
advantageous just at the planting season,
and secures an early hold in the soil after
planting, and safe guard against the
drouth thereafter.
For the small crops, such as lettuce, spin.
ach, radishes, and so on, can always be
found spaces either among other vegetables
or in pieces too small for the main crop
ping ;~in short, not q foot of ground need
remain idle, but be quickly filled again, ell
ther after crop is of, or it is seen any one
is not likely to pay to stand, and large re-
turns are sure to follow, while the contrary
is also as surely to be the result of half
measures, either in the mechanical labor,
the stinting Of manures, or Indifferent super.
vision Of the whole affair.

Surface water can often be drained away
where there is no perceptible descent to the
eye, and the fact that the drains must some
times pass through swell of land higher
than the general suriace Of the meadow, to
reach an outlet, should not prevent the un-
dertaking. Take an accurate survey of the
meadow with leveling instruments, and as.

can be cut and have suitable regularity of
fall or draught to carry off food waters with
the falling Of the.stream. The fewer bitches
you can have, and yet get rid Of the water,
The more convenient will be the after tillage
Of the land. In digging these bitches it is
convenient to use models of light scantling
or lath, Of the right width for the bottom
Of the ditch, and the sides Of them faring
out at an angle Of forty-fve degrees; the
workman should try his work by such q
model from time to time, in order to regu-
