FAMILY MARKET REPORT.

Garden stuff comes in but slowly into the market,
the wet weather prevailing being responsible to
great extent for this tardiness. AS yet
there is little Of this on the stands except
Southern and some hot house products, the
latter bringing such exceptional prices as render 1t
useless to make any quotations rcspectngit 1t. few
Strawberries have made their appearance and
brought 81 per basket. Meat has advanced some
what, especially beef and mutton. but fish are abun

eggs maintain about the same prices.

ground be in a poor state Of fertility, a dr=s
sing of the pure superphosphate Of lime,
spread in shallow drill on each side of tie
rows of carrots and raked in, will usually
produce bounliful crop of oats.
When the young plants are two or three
inches high let the thinning be performed
with a sharp, broad hoe, worked across the
drills, leaving three or four plants IN a clus,
ter. During wet or lowery weather, when
laborers cannot work advantageously at
other employment, let the smaller carrots
be pulled up, leaving one in a place-about
six or eight inches apart. Managed in this
manner crop of carrots may be raised
with small expenditure of labor.
Try half an acre or one-fourth of an acre.
With ordinary cultivation, and land of only
moderate fertility, six hundred bushels of
carrots may be grown on an acre. For
feeding horses and cows, bushel of car
rots is worth as much as bushel of oats,
when fed in connection with liberal amount
Of meal.

How to Raise Carrots.

A writer in the New York Independent
states that large portion of a merioan far.
mers fail in their efforts to grow a remune-
rating crop of carrots, in the majority of
instances from not understanding how to
manage the seed and the young plants
The usual practice is to SOW carrots so
early in the growing season that noxious
weeds, six or eight inches high, cover the
ground before the young carrots have at
tanned sufficient size to enable laborers to
see the rows. The immense labor requir-
ed to weed carrots, tends to disheaTten far
mers from attempting to grow a crop of
roots. But if they were accustomed to
manage differently, crop Of carrots could
be grown at an expense of only f W cents
per bushel. We frequently meet with far
mers who aver that their crop of carrots
costs them not over e Ve or six cents per
bushel. AS it is not practicable to follow
the directions required to produce heavy
crop of roots the present season, we will
do the best we can under the circumstan-
ces. Do not plant the seed too early
Prepare the ground thoroughly. and ma
uure it heavily. Let The land be plowed
deep, twice or thrice, if it is not sod Then
about the twentieth of May. or the first Of
June, scarify the surface for the pu rpose
of exterminating the weeds. If the surface
is at all lumpy, let the Jumps be crushed
with roller. AS the seeds are long time
terminating, they should be sprouted be-
fore they are planted. Then young carrots
will vegeIaIe rapidly, aud outgrow noxious
weeds and the labor of wedding the lows
will be comparatively ligl t.
Soak the seed in warm water for twenty
four hours. Then miugle il with fne sand
in a vessel that will not hold water. Keep
the sand and seed moist AID warm. AS
soon as the seeds exhibit signs o { germina-
ton. let them be planted in soil just stir
red with some implement. IL four or i've
days. If the soil be moist and warm, the
carrots will appear above ground, and
scarcely a weed will be seen among the
young plants. Unless TIE ground is rich
aud free from wseds. do not make the drills
nearer than two feet, so that a horse hoe
may do almost the entire wedding. II the

Cultivate More Fruit.

We have several times urged upon the
farmers Of Middle Tennessee the impor-
lance Of paying more attention to the cult
walton of fruit. Thousands of dollars are
paid, by our citizens, every year for apples
brought here from the West and Northwest.
Instead of being buyers, we should be
sellers OF fruit. No finer region for grow
ing apples than the mountainous regions
of Tennessee can be found in the United
States, as has been demonstrated by actual
tests; while the fertile valleys will produce
in great abundance and perfection, the ear
lier varieties of the apple. Those farmers
who have not already commenced the work
of fruit,growing, especially apples, should
make beginning this season. It is i'm
Portant to get trees suited to the soil and
climate of this State, and these can be pro-
cured from home nurseries. The nursery
Mr.. A. Cox right here at home, is
well stocked with the choicest varieties of
fruit trees of all descriptions.

Cultivation Of Orchards


Apple orchards left to themselves, bear
only on alternate years, with such uniform
ity, that bearing years" have become to
be regarded as the order of natur,, rather
than a human device. The trees, in aver
age soil, do not aliment enough to give
full crops every year. Possibly manuring
mig hit do this even if the orchard were left
/ grass But the danger is. if the orchard
is left unrlowed it win not get the manure.
The common objection offered to. blowing
is the damage done to the root of the trees.
We have no doubt that an orchard might
be plowed so deep and so near the trunk of
the tree as 10 damage it past hope of re-
coVery. But discretion is TO be used, and
the pillow is to be kept 50 near the surface
under the trees as not to break off the large
roots. 1t has also been ascertained that
grain crops are not good for orchards We
have known orchards to be made barren for
several years in consequence Of a crop of
rye. Grain crops, unless buckwheat be an
need and shade the land too much. Root
crops are the most desirable, because they
require a good deal OF manure and thor
ough tillage to make them profitable. The
frequent stirring of the soil and the feFul-
izers are the wants of the apple tree, and
the root crop enables the farmer to give
these to his orchard, and at the same time
he is remunerated for his labor.
Potatoes, carrots, beets and turnips are
ell good crops for the orchard, if you put
on manure enough to make them pay. A
surplus must be left in the soil to make the
apple crop.
But will an orchard thus fed bear every
year We have no doubt of it. The apple
crop may be made as sure as the root crops.
We once plowed up beneath an old apple
tree that had an inveterate habit of bearing
only every other year, and planted with
potatoes, manuring literally. We had a
full crop of apples the second year, and
shall always think the manure and the cul-
tivaton made the change. Horticulturist IS
who make a speciality of apples. and ma
nure every year, succeed in getting crops
every season, with very rare exceptions.
David Lyman, Esq, of Middiefeld, Conn,
stated at a recent meeting Of the Board OF
Aldermen, tha: be cultivated his orchards,
and got crops every year. They were not
always full crops, but were enough to pay
for the trouble. Judging from the appear
ance of bis orchards. which we visited
few years since in the apple season. We
think that very modest statement. We
have rarely seen so fac a show cf apples.
even at the country fairs, as could have
been gathered from his trees. The secret
of his success is cultivation and manure.
and reasonable watch against the en-

To Cure Apple Trees Bitten by Rabbits.

l. Cure apple Trees b1ELen Dy A2p D1Js'
Sometimes promising young orchards
are utterly ruined by rabbits. There are
several expedents for preventing these de-
predictions but-we cannot remember see
ing case anywhere prescribed for the
trees after they have been barked by the
rabbits Not long since an experienced
nurseryman favored US with an account Of
the manner in which be saved few choice
trees which the rabbits barked for him
when be was boy, and We think it worth
repeating for the benefit of our fruit grow
ing readers Our friend had rendered i'm
porlant assistance to his uncle in grating
and was rewarded with a present of thirty
two rare trees. The very next winter a
raid was made upon him by rabbits, and
every tree was barked. Instead Of giving
them up for lost, however. he drove boards
into the ground around each tree, leaving
three or four inches of space between the
trees and these walls OF boards. Then be
filed the space with soil, as high as the
bark had been peeled. This poultice o.
earth was suffered to remain through the
summer, and the result was that our friend
lost but one of the thirty-two trees. Upon
all the rest the bark was restored and they
thrived well. Try it the first time rabbits

Muck for Potato

The editor of the Maine Farmer states
from some experience of his own, from
time to time, for many years, that muck
for potatoes on dry land will be found very
useful. On sandy or gravelly pasture land
muck might be hauled out of the swamps
in winter and allowed to freeze, and in the
spring a small shovelful In a hill with a
tablespoonful of plaster, will warrant some
sound, mealy potatoes, and at least fair
crop. Perhaps little bone manure or GU
ano, might insure larger crop. Barnyard
manure. especially when used in It's infer
meuted state, is not apt to produce pota-
toes of the best quality. 1t is desirable
that what potatoes we use for the table
should be good, as it adds much to our
comfortable meal to have mealy potatoes
Potatoes in this State, the past year, were
generally a small crop and of poor quality,
and whatever tends to improve the size
and quality should be made available by
our farmers. During much of the time in
the winter season, muck can be hauled bet.
ter than any other time, as the swamps
and boys are well frozen, and after an open
ing is once made, it will not freeze enough
from night till morning to interfere with the
work of procuring it. A weeks time may
be spent to good advantage in hauling
muck for use another season.
