Starting Yellow Locust Plantation.

The first thing in starting plantation
of Locust trees is the selection of the site.
Experience suggests rather dry gravelly
or sandy loan. The trees would grow
more rapidly on bottom lands or black,
rich soils, but they would also be much
more liable to the attacks of their enemy,
the borer. Some years ago, the Illinois
Central Railroad Company made extensive
plantations on the waste land bordering
their track. The locusts grew finely for
the first two Or three years, and then the
borers attacked them with great fierceness
and now hardly vestige of the great plan
Long and Shelter Islands, the tree thrives
wonderfully well. Its favorite localities
are steep hill-sides and well drained soils.
1t would be likely to do well on many old
fields and worn out pastures, which are
now Improbable for grass. An additional
inducement to plant such fields is the fact,
that the tree is renoyator of the soil and
friendly to the growth of the grasses. We
recently saw plantation upon light sandy
soil, once nearly worthless, where there
was grass enough to have made two tons
to the acre.
The Treatment of the Seed and .Seed-5ed is
a matter of great Importance. The soil
should be we'll prepared and made suffi-
corn. Mark off the rows feet apart and
SOW the seed, and cover them the same
depth as onion seed. The seed should be
prepared by soaking in hot water. Pour
quarts of boiling water to a ID of seed, and
and let them stand in a warm room for
twenty four hours. If any of the seeds
are not swollen, separate from the rest,
and pour hot water upon them, and repeat
the process of scalding and asserting until
all the seeds are swelled. Keep the ground
clean with cultivator and hoe the first year
and subsequently; the seed will not all
sprout the first year, but will keep coming
for many years. Sprouts will start both
from seed and from the roots for dozen
years or more. If the seed-bed or nursery
is properly cared for, it will furnish any
desired number of plants. A tree so easily
propagated, and SO valuable both for tim
Der and as a renovator of the soil, ought
to have the immediate attention of the
owners of exhausted lands. There are
thousands of acres in all the older States
where this tree would flourish. If it did
not pay dividents to the present owners, it
would at least be safe investment for
their heirs. Timber is all the while grow
ing scarcer, and the next generation must
have posts for their fences, and treenails
for their ships at whatever cost.

Improve Your Sheep.

Most men who breed sheep are accus-
toned to isolate the rams about the first
of August, and return them 10 the flock
again about the first of November, or later,
as the latitude may determine.
Through the middle tier of States, the
first of April is probably the best time for
Spring lambs. The mothers need green
food as soon as may be after their young
are dropped, and that is generally ready
from the Goth of the month to the first of
May. Further north, the middle of the
month is early enough, as the weather is
colder and the starting of the grass much
more backward.
To keep the flock constantly improving,
the first necessity is to
CHANGE BUCKS FREQUENTLY.
We would suggest every year, if it is
possible, to make selection from foreign
flock that shall equal your own.
Another way is to hire thorough bred
ram at any reasonable cost, and thereby
introduce into your flock blood that will
improve it, always keeping in mind, when
the selection of sire is made, what you
propose to do with the progeny that shall
come from this animal. One whose aim it
is to get early and good lambs for market
would not introduce merino blood; OF, if
he wanted fine wool, neither a Cotswold nor
Southdown.
Not less in Importance is
BREEDING FROM THE BEST EWES.
Any flock of sheep will deteriorate unless
the best are saved for breeders. Seven sea-
sons are enough for even the best of sheep
to be used for mothers. After nine years
old, they lose so much of their vitality and
their milk producing qualities, that the
lambs are generally below the average
AS soon as the lambs are weaned-which
should be by the middle of September, if
they were born the middle of April-all
tire eve sheep in the flock that are not of
suitable age, of suitable form, and of suit
able health for mothers, should be taken out
and in some way disposed of. They can
generally be fattened in the fall or early
if the number is not too large, can be con-
sumed in the family, in lieu of more salea-
BILE but not more nutritious meats.
The place of these thus discarded should
be always filled from the best of the lambs,
if it is desirable to keep the flock about
the same size. Hundreds of farmers who
sell early lambs are guilty of the folly of
selling the best, and allowing those that
will not sell to 60 through the winter, and
eventually become mothers. This would
seem be a saving, but it is, instead, suicide.
When the best are saved for breeders, the
flock is constantly improving; when the
poorest are permitted to become sucn there
is gradual deterioration, and an ultimate
Ito use an expressive phrase running out.
No farmer is worthy the name and age
who is not always on the alert to make
both his farm and the stock upon it better.
1t does not require capital to do this SO
much as care, and in the end the best farm
ing and the best stock raising pay the best;
and to the bottom line all eventually comes.

KEEPING PoTAToEs IN CELLARS. It is
a bad plan to place potatoes against the
damp walls of a cellar, or to put them in
large, deep bins, where they will be likely
to gather moisture. If bins are used, the
bottom should be made of strips, with
small spaces left between, to admit air.
Barrels or open boxes are also good, as
we'll as convenient vessels, in which to
keep potatoes, and whenever it is necessary
to look over and pick out decayed tubers,
it Ia more easily done than when a large
number of bushels are placed in one heap
OF bin. Cellars in which potatoes are kept
should not be too light, because it will, as
every farmer knows, mako them turn green
and injure their faver and value.

Keeping Eggs for Winter Use.

At this season, says the ssachusetts
Plomghnsan, when eggs are generally plenty,
provision should be made for keeping a
supply over for winters use. Many plans
have been recommended, some Of which
have been successful, others not.
The plan which we have found to be
most etfectual, is to cover the entire shell
with tallow, which being melted penetrates
the pores thoroughly and then hardens
suddenly. Lard, oil and butter answer
the purpose for short time. but they do
not remain permanently on the shell, and
as soon as they have dried off, evaporation
of the egg commences.
A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker, writes: "Grease them, wrap each
one in paper and pack, always putting the
them up in this way in the summer, when
eggs are cheap, selling them in the winter,
and realizing nice profit.
An accomplished housewife tells US her
way which she says is superior to all
Others" Here it is: some pint of salt;
one-half pint of unslaked lime; three quarts
of water; boil together. Pack the eggs,
small end down, in jars. When the water
is cold pour over the eggs with or without
the dregs. She says eggs put down in this
way will keep perfectly fresh for a long
Clme, ana farmers putting down their eggs
so in summer, and selling them in winter,
can realize handsome profit
MAKING FERTILE CLAY SoIL.-Many
of our farmers are not troubled with the
stiff clay soil that is often difficult to make
productive, and so cloddy and unmanagea-
bic in spring and summer; but others
possess this soil, and will no doubt profit
by our remarks: Fall blowing, leaving the
ground as rough as possible when done,
ready to go through; in winter when frozen
up solid haul on all the manure and litter
you have, scattering it pretty evenly over
the surface. In the spring you will find
that the frost has been great pulverizer
and that the great adhesiveness Of your i'm
pervious clay has passed away. The ma
nure and roughness you have applied will,
in great measure, tend to keep the soil
loose and productive. If it is intended for
corn it will need blowing again in spring,
if for any small grain, only harrow down
thoroughly after the grain is sown. Frost
as an agent to fertilize and destroy the
solidity of clay soil, is too little understood
by our cultivators.-RuraI World.
