The Best TIME TO Sow PLAsTER-For about
dozen years, we have annually made expert
ments, on sowing plaster. We have had it
sowod on grass land in every mouth in the
year, except November and December. We
have been successful, some times, with most Of
the different applications but have invariably
been fully satisfied with that sown in the mo tn
Of March. On grass land we think three
fourths of a bushel per acre, sown in March,
OF more value than double the amouat in May
or June.
Our custom is, if possible, to SOW it on a
light snow, the melting of which seems to have
O beneficial effac! in dissoIving gypsum. Where
we had FIVE acres, four years ago, and left a
corner to note the effect, it has been visible for
miles each summer since the piece left furn-
ishing ceI sainly third less feed and of "a much
paler color Last year the plaster sown in
March worked wonders" while that of May
and June seemed to be lost entirely. Try it.

H- Now is the time to take up the Cata-
wissa Raspberry, part them and plant the
pieces in box under glass. A little bottom
heat applied will be serviceable. Care must
be taken to keep the soil moderately moist -
When the sun becomes hot, as is very frequent
ly the case in this and the next month, venti,
late at mid day When the shoots make their
appearance aud until they are three inches
high, they require particular care in watering
so as not to soald them by too much water
and the hot sun, without proper airing to coun-
teract it, The same remark may be made in
regard to grapes. We cut the raspberry roots
into pieces leaving but one eye to piece, and
plant one inch 6eep, the same as grain of

Sow SPRING WHEAT EARLY" Ny expert
ence teaches me- says correspondent of the
Wisconsin Farmer, " that we must sow our
wheat as early as possible. There is hardly
any danger Of sowing too early. Two years
ago l sowed q small piece in Canada CLUB
spriGg wheat on The fifth day of April. That
piece yielded 33 bushels to the acre in thst
poor season The berry was plump and heavy,
weighing 6 l-2 pounds to the measu ed bush
e / continued to SOW, as the rains and state
Of the weather would allow, until about the
first day of May, and | must say, that just in
proportion to the date Of sowing, were the
amounts and quality Of the crop the piece
which was sowu and narrowed the last day of
April beigg badly rusted, and not yielding over
eight or nine bushels of poor shrunken wheat
per acre while that portion of the field COW
cred about the 10th of the same month, turn
ed out between twenty-five and thirty bushels
OF very marketable grain. Phe piece sown
about the 18TH aud 10Th of April was not so
good as that sown before, yet far better than
the last Sown."
In connection with the foregoing the New
England Farmer remarks, that of the two
wheat crops submitted last year to the Essex
county Agricultural Society," one was sown
April 7th, and the other when the harrow
struck the frost" The premium Was awarded
to the latter sowing.

Sugar Making Sugaring OFF.

FpIroR Co. CENT have been reading of
late the process of manufacturing maple sugar
of your different correspondents. They de-
scribe the process very we'll as far az they go,
but it seems to me they have left out the most
esential part, viz: Sugaring off. The way it
is generally managed By great majority of
sugar makers, is q tedious basiness--put into
sors not or boiler over a stove, aud then
watched and tended for half day or more
the sweating business generally attended to
by the women of the household, and if left a
moInent to other duties, over goes the sugar,
and the labor of a whole day lost, and perhaps
the sugar burned at last The way 10 do it
fs to have brass kettle that will hold four or
five paiIfus-a pot or kettle will do it nothing
better is at hand. Take it to the sugar bush
with YOU, which saves the labor Of Juggling
the syrup half mile or more to the house
(which by the way is an up hill business, and
relieves the women Of disagreeable job. Stick
down couple of crotches, put pole across,
and hang the kettle with chain--haVe plat
form ready to set your dishes upon to receive
tbs s1gar. After cleansing, which should be
done with slow fire, put in lump of butter
as large as butternut, for batch of fifty
pounds Then start smart FIRE and do not
let the fire slack till towards the last, when
there will be a good bed of Goals to finish up,
which is better than blaze. 1t will not run
over If it shows any tendency to running
over add little more butter One hour is
sufficient if driven smartly, to bring the mass
to caking condition The faster it is sugared
down the better will be the sugar.
The way to know when it is done sufficient
ly to cake take the twig of tree about
foot and half long, dip it into the boiling su-
gar to timber it then tie loop in the small
end, leaving the hole about half an inch in di-
ameter When you think it is nearly done,
dip this loop into the sugar and bring it up
quickly, and blow through the loop hole
When it will 60 off in ribbon eight or ten
feet long, it is done but wait a few minutes
then try again till it will perform according to
order Take it off, stir it a short time then
pour it into your caking dishes, and the work
is done. Then you can carry it to the house
without stopping over.
The great secret is the lump of butter. Su-
gar makers, try it,

To MAKE CIDER WNE.-Take pure cider,
made from sound ripe apples, as it runs from
the press-put sixty lbs. of common brown
sugar into Is gallons of the cider, aud let it
dissolve; then put the mixture into a clean
barrel, Gil it up within two gallons of being
full, with clean cider-put the cask into cool
place, leave the bug ont for forty eight hours;
then put in the bung with small vent, until
fermentation wholly ceases, and bung up tight
and in one year it will be fit for use This
wine requires no racking the longer 1t stands
upon the lees the better. This wine is almost
equal to grape wine, when rightly managed.
