the Young plants viii begin To ap
pear; watch for them very closely,
and as soon as they crack the ground
sprinkle them with SCOT or Stacked
lime, which continue to do every
morning before sunrise until they
begin to make rough leaves. When
all danger of the fly is past, You may
remit this attention and thin the
plants to an inch a part III the drill.
Another preCauticn against the fly
may us well be mentioned. Let a
lot urine accumulate until it is four
or five days old; it will then begin
I TO smell ; dilute with five parts of
water to one of urine, and water the
plants at sunset. The Odor Will
drive away the insect and push the
plants rapidly forward
For varieties growing for market
we recommend the Late Drumhcad
and Flat Datch; for private parties
we recommend the Drumhead Savoy
1t is much better than the two form

The soil and preparation for late
cabbages need not be SO high rs 70
the early ones. Twenty tons of ma
nure to the acre, on soil already goo'

liquid Manure.


ylom the Western Rrral
VIM. T. Rand gives an Interesting
account of experiments with liquid .
manure in the recently published /
Report of the Commissioner Of Agri- |
culture. He leached soap-sudS and
house Stops of every kind through
barn yard manure, and applied the
liquid thus obtained to the soil in
his hot house, and it increased the
temperature and improved the
growth of his flowers and plants to
such a degree, that it seemed the
work of magic.
BY adding one hushel of fresh
wood ashes to ten OF stable manure,
and teaching the soap-suds, etc,
through it, he found the alkali adj
dition had the effect of maturing the
woody parts OF plants, and diminish
ing the vine growing plants. Leach
ing soap-suds, etc, through peck
Of fresh hen manure, and five bushels
of fresh COW droppings, produces a
liquid which had a very beneficial
effect upon vine growing plants, and
the contrary effect on fruit-bearing
ones.
During his experiments, in order
to obtain valuable liquid manure
for universal use, Mr.. Rand filled his
hopper with a variety OF decayed
animal and vegetable matter, such
as rot en- wood, decayed weeds, re
fuse meats, old bones, lime, ashes,
old leather, Slops, etc, in fact every
thing of Il pcrishable nature on the
farm. a covering of lime, ashes and
sand, kept fermentngi beneath the
surface OF the mass. In the liquid
which ooZed through, a bag of char
coal was placed to deod0rize it.
In order to test the value of this
liquid, he made three beds for onion
: sets One Of theSe was made of good
soil into which rotten compost, and
well decomposed hardly yard manure
was worked. in another phosphate:
: and patent fertilizers were incorpO
: rated with the soil. In the third bee
the soil was spaded up and saturated
r with the liquid manure. The reSul
l was decidedly in favor of the latter
! for the soil prepared with it was 81
| productive that the onions maturc'
I and we've eaten in the spring, before
| the remainder were large enough TO
use. \ similar result attended thu
application of the liquid to paTSnipS

CT improved Agriou.tuft.

From CONAN Rural World
Agriculture, in Alabama, NJ ssis
Sippi and Tennessee, is being carried
on in the most primitive style. We
believe not single improvement
has, as YET. been made, and the labor
is being done by the same class of
operatives and with the same tools /
as before the war. We saw no field, /
that we now rememIer, that was
being or had been thoroughly pillow
ed. Generally, a man would enter
field with his mule and a small one
horse pillow, and, taking the last
years ridges of corn or cotton for
/ mS guide, would throw up Il ridge
/ between the rows; this would be
/ lcvCled Ettle and then planted i'll
corn or cOtten-thc Inplowcd strip
being cultivated dnring this season.
1t is not to he wondered at that the
result of such tillage is not always
satisfactory the wonder is, that
they have amy crops at all besides
the other error Of requiring four
hands to operate with four plowS and
four mules. Surprising the planter
should take a good gang pillow, and
first plow the entire field one man
could operate this, and four mules
would all be htched to the one plow
Next, lay off the entire field and take
good corn planter, and two hands,
: with good team of mules, could
plant in the best possible manner
twelve or fifteen acres, or-it as now,
in drils-twenty acres of corn per
dav.

COTToN WORM.-Plant the castor

cotton, throughout the field, and not
Il worm will touch it; or a still bet
ter plan would be to plant it every

the beans could not be gathered for
