Cauliaower-any good variety. 1t Is al
WAYS difficult to get seed that will produce
good heads.
Carrots for early use. The Early Horn
for winter use the same sown later, or the
Long Orange.
Celery should be raised by every one, for
home use at least. The Boston Market, Sey-
mour's Superb and Coles White, are among
the best.
Sweet Corn, of course for several weeks In
succession.
Cucumbers Early Russian for very early
use. Early White, and Long Green, are among
the best.

The Furnip.

The different varieties OF turnp now number
nearly one hundred, all originating unques
tionably from one common stock. Notwith-
standing this common origin, there is as great
variety Of quality as Of name In making a
selection, care should be taken to secure the
most nutritious, tender, firm-feshed and
smoOth-surfaced varieties. The turnip is ma
tive of Europe, and is now cultivated in Eng
land, France, and Holland more than in any
other countries. Any ordinary land will pro-
duce good crop. 1t is common practice to
sow them as a second crop on ground from
which early peas or potatoes have been har-
vested. They are produced from the seed di-
rcctly, seldom succeeding if transplanted Some
sow IN drills, but most people scatter the seed
broadcast. One pound is sufficient for an acre
of land, for there are ten thousand grains to a
pound. For succession, it il best to sow at
intervals from April to September-thoso for
winter use TO be soWed as late as the lst of
August. These hybridiZc readily, and should
therefore be sOwed in distinct fields when more
than one variety is used. Among the most
popular and profitable varieties, we mention
the following The Atringham, yellowish
small size. small neck and tap root, and quite
solid. The Imperial or Border Imperial, five
inches in diameter, rather large, but yellowish,
firm and nutritious g.; early. Orange Jelly.
small, round, pale orange colcr. juicy and
tender. Cow Horn, good forstock very pro-
ductive, not desirable for table use. Early fat
Dutch, fine grained, tender and sweet, if gath
cred early. The yellow Dutch is not very diff
fercnt from the white. The Finland is hand
some variety, medium sized, yellow, tender
and relishablc, and is put down as an excellent
root The Golden Ball, pale yellow, sweet,
and good for table use. The Green Globe is a
good yielder. The Green and W bite Norfolk
are great yielders and used for stock feeding
mostly. The Green Taukard is raised for feed
ing purposes. The Red Globe is much cultiva-
ted IN some sections, yields abundantly, fair,
free from small roots. The Purple Top strap
leafs one of the very best kind; it is quick in
growth, hardy, productive, easily grown ; the
top is purple, but the bottom pure white; flesh
clear, solid, juicy and well-favored. 1t is the
variety most sought in oar market. The Alb
erdeen Purple is good for stock, being very
productive. The Stone Globe is recommended
for winter We have given only a fraction
of the varieties, but have named some of the
best for garden and for field culture

SPRING WoRK-Farm work is driving at
this season and the pillow must be kept
moving, There is more danger that the land
will not be worked enough than of OVERRIDING
it. As general rule we do not pillow and
harrow and cultivate sufficiently, and the
land is left too rough to produce to it's ut
most capacity. Thorough tillage Is equiva-
lent to a decent manuring, and the most COM
plete pulverization of the soil is to be
attended by the best results. Particularly is
this the case with root crops They need
deep and perfect cultivation to do well, and
as increased attention is devoted to roots, it
is important to improve our modes of cultiva-
ton.
We generally err in attempting to go over
too much land in proportion to the help we
have to work and take care of it, and the
consequence is it is half MANFRED and half
cultivated, and the result is half a crop, or
very much less than we ought to aim for.
Concentration of labor is sure of the best re
suits in the end, whatever IL is applied to-
1t is better to raise sixty bushels Of corn to
the acre than to raise it on two acres. No
doubt there is some limit even in this direc
ton, but few of us are in danger of Preaching
and going beyond it in the way of thorough
cultivation.
1t is time now to be getting in the corn,
and this forms prominent part of the work
of this month on many farms. If it is going
upon sward land, let the grass get well start
ed into luxuriant growth, spread on gen
erous coat of strong barnyard manure that
will ferment and heat, turn lap furrow, that
is, use a pillow that will lap the outer edge
of the furrow slice under little, 50 that the
borrow will make perfect work and cover
every blade of gass inch or two below the
surface. Then you may use some concen-
trated manure, or good coating of old rot
ted manure near the surface, to give the
plants thrifty start The green grass and
the stable manure turned under Will warm
up the soil and carry the crop through to-
wards the end of the season in the most salts
factory manner. On light soils the use of a
heavy roller after planting is excellent treat
ment. In dry time and dry soil the
corn grows better with the earth a little COM
pact about 1t.
to choose in regard to the variety to plant,
as good deal may depend upon it. Do
much of the work of cultivating by horse

1t is about time to get in the carrots if
they not already sown. small piece OF

On farm near Albany, \. J., on the sand
plRins between there and Schenectady, sixty
bushels of oats per acre have been raised. This
was done by first raising turnips, feeding them
off by sheep, and turning in green crop of
clover.

the article from going abroad to feed the starv-

In one county of California, notwithstand-
ing the large exports spoken of, there are
100000 sacks of old crop wheat which have
not yet been marked. And some of the large
growers in that State have now three crops
on hand, and propose not to sow any this
year on account of this surplus. Yet, SO rich
and independent are they, that they will not

We are growing old together
There is silver in thy hair,
In the whiteness Of my temples
Life hath left its lines of care.
We are growing old together;i
Thou art beautiful to me;
We are growing old together,
Am | beautiful 20 thee?
We are growing old together;
When you held my plighted hand,
Life wore look of splendor
Unseen on sea or land.
By the pain of the lamenting
That the summer could not bring,
With the ripeness Of its fruitage,
The brightness of the spring;
By the lovely hope we buried,
By the diving child we kissed,
7 love thee best, my dearest,
For what thy life hath missed
We are growing old together;
When we drop the body's veil,
The one will wait the other,
Within thy silent pale
Into the grand Forever
Together we Will glide;
No power in the ages
Our being can divide
We shall grow young together;
What poet ever sung
The rapture of Immortals,
Who love forever young

PLANTING Corn IN DRILLs.-A correspond
ent Of the Name Farmer is satisfied it is a bet
ter plan to drill corn and drill manure in the
rows than to plant and manure in the hill.
This is the result of his experience
''In the spring of 1866, prepared one acre
of land for corn by spreading on forty-one
households of old manure, narrowing 1t in
thoroughly | then furrowed it lightly, and
planted my corn in drills, each kernel four
er five inches apart, with beans every four
feet and pumpkins every eight feet. The re-
suit was as follows seventy bushels OF good
round ears, with five bushels of soft corn,
five bushels of excellent beans, and fifteen
cart-loads OF pumpkins. This was on newly
broken up land.
Last spring plowed my last years potato
ground (three fourths of an acre), and pre-
pared one-half of it as before. The other half
| drilled the manure in the furrOw, and plant
ed as before. The result was, on the first
half of the piece, thirty bushels of good
sound corn, 90 pumpkins and few beans.
| used one-half each Of plaster and ashes L
consider ashes worth twice as much as plaster
to put in the hill with corn. | think five or
six inches apart near enough put the ker-

EARLY IoMAroEs.-Tomato plants, for an
early crop, should be transplanted to the open
ground as soon as the weather Will admit !:
to insure the plants against danger from Sc
we're cold, it will be necessary to cover them
with box having a glass cover. The box
should be Is by Is inches in height, and 10
bv II inches across, so as to allow Of bel NJ
covered by pane OF 10 by II inch windo W
glass The box should be removed during
fine weather. so that the plants may have an
abundance of air and sunshine. and covered
only during the continuance of cold, very
wet and cod weather. Those who do not
wish to take the treble of stalking and tying
can lay some brushwood upon the ground
around the plants. By this means the fruit
will become fully expanded to the influence
of sun and air, and prevented from coming
in contact with the ground.-American Far

How TO CATcu For, catching rats in
cheap and effective manner, we commend
the following: Cover common barrel with
stiff, stout paper, tying the edge around the
barrel place board 50 that the rats may
have easy access to the top; sprinkle cheese

bottom of the barrel, a piece of rock about
six or seven inches high, filling with water
until only enough of it projects above the
water for one rat to lodge upon. Now re-
place the paper, first putting cross in the
middle, and the first rat that comes on the
barrel top goes through into the water and
climbs on the rock. The parer comes back
