Depth OF Covering Corn.

A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph gives the following sugges-
tons:
Cover the corn carfully, and never
more than one and half TO two inches
deep. If planted deeper than this, it viii
be longer coming up, and after it comes
up it will grow very well until it is three
or four inches, when it will remain sta
tionary for ten days or two weeks. By
examining we will find that the first joint
is below the surface Of the soil, also that
the roots are dccaying, while new ones
are being thrown out from the joint.
These new roots require some ten or fiji
teen days for their complete formation,
and during this time tue plant remains
stationary as far as growth is concerned.
As soon as the newroots are fully formed
the old ones will entirely disappear, and
the growth will proceed as usual.
''FrOm actual experiments with grains
taken from the same ear and same part
of ear, have arrived at the following
result: Corn planted l inch deep came
up in eight days; that planted II inches
deep required nine and half days; that
? inches deep, ten days; p inches deep,
eleven and a quarter days; 3 inches deep,
twelve days; 81 inches deep, thirteen
days; 4 inches deep, fourteen and a halt
days; 81 inches deep, eighteen days; 6
inches deep, twenty-one days. The last
lot came up and grew until about three
| inches high, when it remained stationary
for long time and finally died"

Hearth and Home gives his experience
in the strawberry business as follows:
''The best and largest crop of strawber-
ries that | ever raised, was produced in
the following manner: A bed twenty-five
feet wide and two hundred feet long, was
prepared by spreading upon it twelve cart
! loads of old, well-rotted cow manure
the ground was then plowed deep and
narrowed down smooth and level. About
the middle of April the plants were set
out in rows, two feet apart with space
of about eighteen inches between them.
'sNo weeds were allowed to grow
among The plants, and the surface of the
soil was stirred at least once week du-
ring the entire summer Two or three
runners were allowed to grow from each
plant, and these were so placed that they
would take root between the old plants in
the rows. In the autumn, when the
ground began TO freeze quite hard at night,
the entire bed and plants were covered
with coarse grass to the depth Of two
inches, after ii had been partially settled
In the spring, after the severe cold weather
was passed, man passed along each row,
and with a stick parted the mulching Just
over the center of each row of plants, so
as to allow the air and light to reach the
crowns and permit the leaves and fruit
stalks TO stand up without hindrance.
None of the mulching was removed from
the beds; consequently the soil was kept
moist and the fruit clean. This bed
yielded little over twelve bushels of
fruit the second season after planting,
which was the first crop; after the fruit
was gathered, all the mulching was re-
moved, and the soil between the rows was
fOrked over, but no more manure of any
kind was applied. The runners were not
allowed to grow or take root, except in
places w1ere there was a vacant space in
the rows, and the next fall the mulching
was applied the same as before. This
treatment was continued for four years,
and then the plants were plowed under.
81 have tried many different systems of
culture for the strawberry, but none that
has given SO much satisfaction as this one,
and, although it may be too expensive for
extended culture, yet for the amateur who
does not growmore than half acre or acre,
and desires to produce the largest amount
possible on given space, can con-
tidently recommend the above as being a
system that Will not only give an abundant
crop, but the greatest amount of pleasure
and profit. Many of the more delicate
but large foreign varieties will succeed
when treated in this manner, although
they often fail when grown without
or winter protection.

The culture Of the beet is said to be
worth more to a country as a fertilizer
than the product directly derived from
the treatment of the root, the waste pulp
proving more valuable than the sugar.
1t is fed to barned cattle in large quanti-
ties. 1t is stated that in France, where
the business has grown to enormous di-
mansions, the increase in cattle on ac-
count of beet pulp is wonderful. In the
district of country surrounding the city
of Valenciennes, where, before the pro-
ductiOn of beet sugar, seven hundred
oxen were the total amount, eleven thous-
and five hundred are the total amount
raised last year. But this is not all.
This enormous increase of stock has 50
much advanced the fertility of the land
that one hundred and ninety-two thousand
bushels more wheat are raised in the
same district per annum than were raised
in previous years.

rood for pigs.

A correspondent Of The Cincinnati Ga
zettc, living in Highland County, Ohio,
yOuches for the following as the best feed
to make the biggest hog out of pig in
twelve months. Take two parts barley,
two of corn, and one of oats. Grind
them together; then cook and feed cold.
This way of feeding is the cheapest way
to make hogs keep fat from the time
they are pigs. Take any pig of a good
improved breed, and il can be made, in this
manner, to gain one pound per day until

We use stimulating manures, artificial
fertilizers, for different purposes. This
has got to be learned, and is not yet fully
understood. When we wish to push a
crop we use them. The difficulty is TO
get them pure. fo9I s
Muck, straw, leaves, sawdust, etc., may,
with advantage, be composted with the
contents of the privy, the hog-pen, the
sheep-fold, hennery, ETC., and used almost
anywhere, especially on corn and in the
garden. The grasses viii also take it with
advantage; wheat and barley less so for
the health and sound growth of the grains.
There win be straw; but there wants to
be union with the soil, acting upon it
and being acted upon, TO prepare it for
these choice, fastidious grains.
Clay will do best with general manure,
from the barn; and long manure may be
plowed in slightly to advantage on q
gravelly clay soil This is our expert
ence.
Those who have berry bushes, grape
vines, dwarf trees, may yet, with advant-
age, treat them to leaves. The sooner
the leaves are thus secured the more sub
stance there will be, as the close hugging
of the ground loses the strength of the
leaves, and each snow and rain viii have
this effect.
Sawdust should absorb the juices of
the stables. This is another way of ap-
plying manure; and on meadows in the
springer, better, drawn in winter-can-
not be surpassed The point with saw
dust is, you can fine your manure, and
get it close TO the ground where it will be
greedily absorbed.
There are other uses and Distinguishing
points. Farmers should practice, expert
ment more. This is better than to learn
from books or even from your neighbors.
And in the right use of manure consists
the success of farming mostly Utica

HOW to Raise irish Potatoes.

How TO Raise traS0 E-Ot1tOeSs
This valuable vegetable, both for table
use and stock, grows well in this latitude,
and when put in the ground right, gives
large yield in return for small amount OF
labor. The best, ana al the same time,
most economical way to plant, we have
tried, is, first to break the land deep-say,
eight TO ten inches-pulverize itthorougly,
leaving no clods. Then open a trench
with a wedding hoe about its width, and
in depth about six inches. Then with the
spike of the garden hoe, open trench in
the centre, say one inch deep. In this
trench drop the potato-cut side down.
Then fill the trench about half full of
well rOtted stable or chip manure, and
q the remainder with loose soil When
the vines grow to the hight of six TO
ten inches, draw to them slight ridge,
and submerge the whole well to the bud
with litter, leaves, or straw-we prefer
the latter. Distance-rows two and a
half feet, and the potato ten TO twelve
inches in the drill. Do not be too econ
omical in cutting up the potato, as some
do, leaving only the eye. Enough of the
potato should be left TO support the plant.
The potato acts as a nOurishment to the
plant, and causes the early throwing out
of the roots that form the potato. As
much as from four to five hundred bush
els to the acre have been produced in the
South from this mode of culture. The
litter, while it serves to shade and keep
the earth cool and moist, it keeps down
weeds and grass, and saves any further
labor in cultivation, whilst at the same
time, it fertilizes the land. Our market
gardeners would do well to test this plan.

Sow in boxes of about two feet 10y one

room, near a sunny window. Water oc-
casionally. When the plants are an inch
or two high thin them out to about an
inch apart. So soon as the weather is
free of frost, transplant in moderately
good garden soil-not rich, as that would
make fine vines but poor fruit.
