THE AGRICUBTURIST.
THE FARm 4HE eARDEm TIE HoUsEHoLD.
80 1I.srats.hrl.

Many farmers are deferred from attempting to
produce very early vegetables BY erroneous idea
that the making of hot-bed is complicated and diff
fcult operations while it is Just simple, says the
Scientific American as making hill of corn. Every
man who has garden of whatever size. if he will
once try the experiment of making hot-bed, will,
we venture to predict find the task SO easy and the
result so satisfactory that he viii never forego the
luxury afterwards All that is necessary is to make
pile of horse manure two and half feet Deep with
the top level or slopng little to the SOUTH then set
a rough frame made OF four boards nailed together
at the corners upon the bed of manure, fill the frame
with six inches of garden soil and cover with win
dow of glass Any old window will answer the
purpose but it is better 10 have the bars OF the sash
run only one way, and to have theglass laid in the
manner of shingles.
The best plants to force are tomatoes and cab
bages, which may be transplanted from the hotbed
to the open air without any trouble. We have re-
moved tomatoes when they we're in blossom, and
had them all live. If melons or cucumbers are fore
ed. they should be planted in flower pots, and in
transplanting them you turn the pot upon your
open hand and give it a gentle thump, when the
earth comes out in a solid lump and the roots are
not disturbed in the least. While the plants are
growing, they should be watered frequently, and in
warm days the sash should be raised few inches
to give the plants air. We have found the growing
of plants under glass, from small hot-bed, four
feet by six up to large grapery for raising the
black Hamburg and hrontignac grapes, tire most
satisfactory OF all horticultural operations. Hav-
ing the control of the Climate both in heat and mois
ture the plants can be made TO grow with vgor
which they rarely if ever exhibit in the open air.
A hot-bed should be made from four to six weeks
before the time for planting corn.

From washington.


Extract of Private letter received IN this city, from
citizen Of tennessee in Washington city, dated Feb.
1914.
The Republicans now boast upon Tennessee as
their ally their fast, unhinching friend in contest
between the Federal Government and the Southern
States.
alt is Notifying that the true friends of the inter
ests, honor, the fair name and fame of Tennessee
should be thus stricken down in the very face Of
her exultant foes. If she, by her vote, had stood
up to the action of the Legislature it would have
been cheering, but they have completely let US
down, and we are actually stopped from demanding
our rights.
But, sir, we are to have war. AT this very mo-
ment the previous question is being called upon q
war measure, which will be passed by an over
whelming majority coercion bA-d force biz.
How will Tennessee act them"

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette gives
his experience in deep blowing, which will prove
interesting to every farmer He says:
This has become hobby with most agricultural
writers, and as consequence, very erroneous
ideas are promulgated about it, A farmer who has
a deep rich. auvial SOIL plows twelve inches deep
with very beneficial results, and, forthwith, it is
held up everywhere as an example to be followed
nv ALL The character of the soil and the season are
oyerIooked-the deep blowing alone is made the
universal panacea for this terrible evil of an ex-
hausted soil. a farmer on the upland elays there
upon plows from ten to twelve inches Deep turning
nm the under soil which has hut little vegetable
matter and ipds that his crop is ruined, and then,
forthwith, he denounces deep blowing and is IN
changeably fixed in his old ideas of the excellence
of shallow blowing.
The farm cultivated ia on the upland clay lime
stones of Indiana. As the soil is drift, and as
these drifts present great varieties of SOIL that
may be better understood | state the character of
the drift On the limestone, being the white, sub
carboniferous there Is deposit of fluid gravel on
that red clay; then yellow clay; that the soil.
The last varies in depth from six to twelve inches
The hlltops abound in loose saad-stones, which, by
dsintegration have gwen some sand to the SOIL In
places the soil is rich, limestone, sandy mold, but
generally only moderately rich.

since then always been very productive. There was
another portion, larger, well worn out, which did
not manure. So had quite variety to test the
virtues of deep blowing. l drilled it about three

Culture of the Onion

The culture of the onion is very simple, but If not
done in the right and in the best manner you
cannot expect paying crop. The soil the onion
wants is sandy loan. 1t should be worked early
in April. My mode of cutting is to plow the mid
die of April, and harrow thoroughly. Then with a
hand rake, rake it smoothly. Then take line and
stretch It along your bed. Then take a marker
with teeth. Set foot apart. Let one tooth fol-
low the line. If your marker has four teeth, by
pulling one across you make three drills at time.
Then take an Emery seed planter, and SOW my
seed. Icover it up with my feet. By going length
wise of the rows / tread in my seed. | think it
comes up better forit.
As soon as can see the onions coming out of the
ground, take six inch hoe and hoe the ground
over. hoe if / don't see a weed 20 through
once week until they are six inches high Then
begin to thin out leave them three inches apart.
If you don't want themt use, put them in an airy
garrett and they will bulb there and will come good
for spring planting
After the ends Of the tops begin to turn yellow, l
take barrel and roll them down. When the tops
are al dried up pull up and place them in rows
ten feet apart so can pass between the rows with
wagon. turn them over every day until they
get dry. When they get dry remove them to a dry
house, top them, and lay them on shelf about four
inches thick, and they will dry hard and in a few
weeks they will be fit for market. Those that 1
keep for winter and spring use, put shelves in
a cellar. Spread thin by so doing they will keep
sound all winter. have barn cellar where can
keep my vegetables. Il nave double windows the
outside window IS hung on hinges. | open them
every day and let ont the damp air. By so doing
can have good onions till onions can grow from
sets.
l think it is good plan to raise your own seed
What raised myself last year early and better
than l bought. Onion seed wants to be fresh to
do well. l have planted onion seed three years
old that did not come up.
| always sow cabbage seed with my onion seed.
The fly does not trouble the cabbage plants when
they are in the onion bed.
My onion bed contains three-fourths of an acre.
sow four pounds of seed, and three quarters of
pounds of cabbage seel In ordinary years have
from 200 to 800 bushels OF onions, but this year
had 200 bushels of large and fine onions. beside

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY-0XE MAJ KILLED AND ANoTI-

White wash.

Whitewash is one Of the most valuable articles in
the world, when properly applied. 1t prevents not
only the decay of wood but conduces greatly to the
healthiness of all buildings, whether of wood or
stone. Outbuildings and fences, when not painted,
should be supplied once or twice every year with
good coat of whitewash, which should be prepar ed
in the following way: Take clean. water-tigtt
barrel or other suitable cask and put into it half
bushel of lime Stake it by pouring water over it,
boiling hot and in sufficient quantity to cover it five
inches deep, and stir it briskly till thoroughly
slaked. When the shaking has been effected, dis
solve it in water, add two pounds of sulphate of
zinc, and one of common salt These will cause the
wash to harden, and prevent its cracking, which
gives an unseemly appearance to the work.

INTERIOR RoUTE FOR CoPToS. The following arr
ticle from the Norfolk VA Day Book, will be of
interest to shippers generally
We are rejoced to observe that our Norfolk and
Petersburg Road has begun to fulfil in part, the
higher object for which, in connection with the
other two Roads of the South Side system, it was
conceived. This, the terminal link IN the great
chain of iron rail, connecting Memphis and the 10
termediate and contiguous South West with the
Atlantic Seaboard at Norfolk, is now bringing down
heavy adened trains of Tennessee and Georgia
cotton.
BY this route of unbroken railway line, via Nor
fork Memphis the great cotton centre of the South
West a distributing point for five hundred thousand
bales per annum is nearer Liverpool and other
trans Atlantic ports, than New York, by more than
three hundred miles, with 80 per cent advantage OF
rail Transportation, and nearer than via New Or
leans by two thousand miles.
The superior facilities at Norfolk by. means OF TINS
channel of REORGANIZATION with the Southwest,
her railroads canals and rivers, penetrating every
part of Virginia and the State OF North Carolina,
for concentrating every species OF produce ordlnar
" demanded IN our foreign trade besides her supe
rior advantage for concentrating the leading item OF
all-cotton-and her facilities by reason of these
channels of REORGANIZATION for the distribu-
ton of merchandise, ought to command immediate
attention as prominent focal point IN line OF dl
rect foreign trade.
BALTIMORE by means of the several lines of steam-
ers running between these respective cities and this
port in connection with the Norfolk road are pre-
septed shorter more direct, and expeditions cham
mel of communication with the South and South
west than can be found elsewhere
To and from Boston, we have now regularly SIX
steamers per month. TIC and from New York four
per week To and from Philadelphia daily and
semi-weekIy line, and to and from Baltimore a
daily line. -
TO the merchants of these Atlantic cities and the
eounury along this extended and now well directed
and organized line of railway we would commend
the low rates and superior facilities OF this route
We are authoritatively informed that the several
roads of this Norfolk and Memphis line have adopt
ed connected Express freight schedule whereby the
transit between these terminal points will be made
in SIX dsys-a4q between Norfolk and NASHVILLE IN IN
5days. Norfolk and Chattanooga in days, Norfolk
and Knoxville in 81 DAYS, Norfolk and Bristol IN y
DAYS, and Norfolk and Lynchburg in day,
would therefore assert that the o.t draet aDd
e1pad;tious Inns of transit between production and
eopsumption, viii find higher degree OF satisfac'
ton in this route, uta NoToLt, than ey any otaer
channel of communication, connecting the same re-
zion Of country and the Atlantic Seaboard.

The meeti - between some of them, who have not

was quite q citing. One called out for any who
had fought y der Gen. Jackson at New Orleans or
in the BloeN Greek war, but hearing no response,
he took b s4eat, and seemed to be wrapped in the
thought OF H,hting his battles over again.

parts of our common country, thereby verifying,
first that we have Government equal to any on
earth and to sustain which we have heretofore ex-
posed our lives.
ReSolred, That we approve of the action of the
President the Secretary of War, and Lieutenant
General Scott, in their precautionary sures for
the protection of the Capital of the Republic and
other points necessary to be protected,
