In the first place, do not make too hard
work of Washing One rinsing, or "suds-
ing is sufficient if your clothes are clean be-
fore they are boiled, and you have good soap.
1t is best to wash calico clothes in the water
in which you have washed white ones, as it
prevents their fading in great measure
Spread you clothes on bushes to dry-it
saves an immense amount Of wear and tear,
as well as time, and is much preferable to a
line in TIE winter, as it does not chill your
hands so badly Some people set out small
trees for this purpose, and they are very use
ful if kept dwarfed. Bring your clothes in
while slightly damp, but be careful that they
are not too wet--it will take twice the time
and labor to iron them.
Prepare your starch in this manner -
Take the starch at the rate Of teaspoonful
for three collars or for one shirt bosom, and
wet it with warm water, in the proportion Of
two tablespoonius of water for each teaspoon
ful of starch Wiring out the stiifcned arti-
cles and let them lie rolled in towel for an
hour rub them thoroughly with dry cloth
to remove all the particles Of starch, spread
a cloth over them, and iron until partially
dry, then polish with a hot iron. DO not use
salt, butter, or anything of the kind. Many
of these substances are deleterious to the fab
rio and prevent its retaining its stiffness
And do not think you must starch everything
you wear Some think that dresses, skirts,
etc, keep clean longer when stiffened, but |
have not found it so besides, the trouble OF
starching and ironing, the ungraceful appear
ance and uncomfortable feeling will more than
couuterbaancc this slight advantage.
Do not waste your strength in securing
foors-so that they are washed clean and
free from dust and footprints, what matters
an additional shade or two of whiteness?
am aware that but very few will agree with
me about this, but would advise you to car
pet all your Aoors-it is easier to wash a car
pet two or three times year than to wash a
floor two or three times week If you cant
carpet your floors paint them failing this,
wash them in clean warm water often, and let
the " securing alone-unless it may be occa-
sonally.
Ia choosing muslin for sheeting, undereloth-
| ing, ETC., do not select that in which the
threads are twisted hard The softest cloth
will wear the longest and is much easier to
wash And the unbeached is generally pref
lerable.

Washington Friend to the Farmer

The establishment of some kind of an in
stitution that would benefit the farmer, was
warmly recommended by our beloved Wash
ington. He says, clearly and forcibly, "a 1t
to individual or national welfare, agriculture
is of primary Importance. In proportion as
nations advance in population, and other cir
cumstances of maturity, this truth becomes
more apparent, and renders the cultivation of
the soil more and more an object of public
patronage Institutions for promoting it grow
up, supported by the public purse, and to what
object can it be dedicated with greater sue
cess than the establishment of agricultural
boards, composed of proper characters, charg-
ed with collecting and dfiusing information,
and enabled by premiums, and small pecunia.

1t is not necessary to discuss the value of
the turnip crop. We take it for granted this
is fully settled The ruta baga, and the pur-
ple-top strap-leaf fat turnip, are the kinds
most extensively cultivated in New England.
The great difficulty in the way of cultivating
the turnip is the weeds 1t costs labor and
time to keep them free of weeds, and to thin
them to the proper distance Sod land is in
general the best land for turnps, because it
is free from weeds A piece of pasture, or
bound-out moving land, with deep loamy
soil, plowed up about the first of July, and
narrowed thoroughly, is as good ground for
turnips as can be found Let this be marked
into burrows by light one-horse pillow, and
well rotted manure, or superphosphate be
scattered literally in the furrows-then throw
back the soil that was thrown out by the
moud-board Of the pillow, by means of the
same pillow, and sow the seed with a drill, af-
ter which it is well to pass an iron toothed
rake lengthwise Of the drills. All manures
in which fermentation has not been sufficient
to destroy the vitality of weed seeds should
be avoided. All the remaining work, except
thinning may be done by the cultivator. This
should be used three or four times, during the
season. Turnips continue growing till No.
vember in ordinary seasons. They bear the
irosts of Autumn without injury They
should be thinned out freely, when the soil is
rich and they are growing thrifty, ten inches
apart is none too much. We are apt to err
in allowing them to grow too thick.
The fiat turnip is often sowed among corn
at the last hoeing, II grows after the corn is
