From the Farmers Chronicle.
Calendar of Farm and Garden
Work for March.
BY G. S. INNS.

Trim and fasten up grape vines
Do this neatly, and then dig or fork
in some well rotted manure about
the roots. Trim all your fruit trees;
avoid cutting off large branches, but
trim so as to let in the sun and air if
you expect tine fruit.
Clear up the garden; burn all old
weeds, seed and all, as much as pos
sible. AS soon as the ground is dry
enough to work, plant parsnips, beets,
extra early bassano and early blood
turnip are the best sorts; asparagus
beds should be attended to, fork in
manure, or set new beds, as soon as
the land is in good condition, wheth-
er this month or the first of April
The same will apply to all the fol-
lowing: Plant early potatoes; Good
rich, South American, Buckeye or
early Neshannock will do well if
planted properly; no difference if the
ground freezes afterwards; it will not
injure them provided it is well drain
ed.
Now is the time for farmers to
make their hot beds, full directions
for which have been given in
former number of the Chronicle
Sow cabbage seed in a sheltered
place, if too lazy to make hot'bed.
Sow lettuce on good rich land. Plant
onion sets and sow seed. Plant peas
and prepare brush. Sow raddish
seed. Sow tomato seed in hotbed

onlture ofthe Sweet Potato.

A correspondent inquiries for the
best method of growing sweet pota-
toes in the hull, i. e. (a) how the
ground should be prepared; u how
much manure ought to be applied to
the hill; (c) how many plants or
sprouts to each hill; (d) whether the
earth should be thrown up to the hills
in cultivation; and (e) whether muck
well composted with stable or barn
ward manure is the best fertilizer?
a.-In Southern New Jersey it is
found that in the cultivation of the
sweet potato the best crops are to
be obtained from shallow blowing
rather than deep plowing. Five
inches, or even only four, is quite
deep enough. Pulverize well with
the harrow. Mark out with single
horse and plow. going twice in each
furrew and making them as deep as
possible, say four feet apart, or such
distance as you may prefer to have
the rows.
Put in a good fork-full of ma
nure to each hill, and have the hills
about four feet apart. Cover the
manure at once, making the centre
of the hill conical, so that the sun
will warm it on all sides. Directly
on the top of this cone, set the plant.
c.-Plant but single sprout in
each hill, and wait until the sprout
has quantity of fine fibers or roots
well started upon it.
DIDO not earth up the hills much
in cultivation. AS a general thing,
comparatively fiat culture will pro-
duce the best potatoes.
eff you want an early crop, put
in stable manure alone. Old, well
rotted COW manure, sweet potatoes
delight in. Muck well composted
with stable manure, will bring a
good crop, but it will be from ten
days to two weeks later than the
crop upon which stable manure alone
is used.-Country Gentleman.

H The American Journa, .

@ The American Journal of
Horticulture says: There is no bet.
ter fertilizer for strawberries than
ashes. We remember that one the
best crops we ever had was raised
when the only manure used was
woodiashes. All soils will not alike
be benefited by such an application;
butt is always safe to use ashes in
connection with other manure. If
ashes only are used, there are fewer
weeds, and no seed can be introduce
ed by the manure.

A New PLoUGH-A plough has
just been invented by a mechanic in
San Francisco, which, if it proves as
successful in practice as those who
have seen it in operation predict,
promises TO be an important i'm
provement.
This plough is an adaptation of
the screw propeller to the process of
turning up the earth. Instead of a
share, six iron blades are set in a
frame and geared together after the
fashion of a marine screw, and the
motion of the machine is also similar.
The blades dip into the ground as
they revolve, and not. only turn and
pulverize the earth, but also serve to
aid in propelling the machine. This
plough can be driven either by steam
or horse power, and will trench a
strip from six to eight feet wide
The working model of this machine
has been found to perform capitally.
