1t is a good plan to start ew early pota-
toes under glass this month 1t is an easy
matter to raise enough for the family in this
way, getting good start aud then transplant
ting as soon as the land and weather are
suitable There is nothiug very formidable
about this, aud no expense for hot b. DIS is re-
CURED though they may he convenient to start
the sprouts in. See how simple plan may
be made to do Select dry, warm and shell
tered place and put in bed Of horse manure
a foot and half deep in the form of bed Of
any size you please. Beat this manure down
well with the fork and the spade, and over it
lay your seed. If it consists Of small potatoes
let them be whole, if large, it is as well to cut
them Then cover them with two inches Of
/ loan.
1t Is best to set up boards around the edges
Of the bed Just as it is common in making hot
beds, and bank up the outsides with manure
and leaves to serve as some additional protec-
ton. The potatoes should be put into this bed
about the tenth or fifteenth Of the month
They will sprout and begin to grow by the
time the land is ready to receive them In
April. When the time comes to set them. out
put them out in ridges raised a little, say six
inches, by manure or litter, and in warm
sunny place They may need a little extra
care, but you will find that it will pay. Ii
the sprouts are above ground before the frost,
are gone, throw some old hay over them OF
straw at night, TO be removed in the morning
Now in this way you can have ripe potatoc,
on your table by the last of June and it will
be great luxury for the family 1t is worth
while to try it and you will find it very
easy matter-Pimglman

From the New England Farm,
Recent Farm Experiments.

In looking over the report of the Commits.
sioner Of Agriculture for the year 1869,
find about thirty pages devoted to recent farm
experiments. 1t contains some very valuable
facts concerning the value Of various fertili-
zers applied to different crops, and different
soils.
At the Michigan Agricultural College in
1869 one acre of very light sandy soil was
selected from clover field. Upon different
parts Of this piece there were applied muck
and leached ashes muck and lime muck
and ashes ashes and gypsum ashes muck
and some other manures. The muck and
leached ashes produced the most clover, the
gain over the adjoining uumanured plat being
at the rate of ,s56 pounds per acre muck
and ashes mot leached) made gain of ,lj2
pounds. Where muck alone was used, only
1856 pounds per acre were realized above the
amount cut on the unmanured ground The
gyT um caused gain Of l40s, and muck
with Stacked lime 1852.
As there is much dispute in regard to the
worth of muck and ashes used upon land, all
such experiments are Of great value to every
farmer, and ought to be carefully noticed
Or course the same results may not be reach
ed upon different soils and at different times
90 one cannot at once decide what manurc-
are the most profitable in his own case
have used muck, ashes, lime and plaster
to considerable extent with various success
Two years ago we dug lot of muck at tn,
foot of hardwood forest where it was abou
two feet deep. A portion of this we drew OIL
to a piece of meadow in close proximity
which we had prepared for corn. All of Thu
we MANFRED in the hill;-using horse anC
hog manure upon portion of it, and mucI
upon the remainder, placing them side b,
side, shovel full Of each in a hill On
part of the muck a handful Of lime was put
in each hill. During the summer but ver-
little difference could be seen in the corn, an,
when it was harvested the corn where tn
muck and lime was put, was about equal t
that upon which was placed the manur
drawn from the barn; and the clear mucl
gave only little less yield than the other.
Upon another piece We spread good coat
ing OF muck narrowed it in, and planted witt
potatoes. In this case the crop was about a
good as that which received a dressing 0
barn yard manure. This was wet season
The next year was very dry, and similar ex
periments being made, the result was not 3
successful in favor of the muck. On tn
drlest portion Of the field, the corn was con
siderably smaller than where the manure wa
applied.
l would like to know the experience O
others in this matter. Is dry season unfa
vorable for muck ? would much prefer car
rying muck to the yard and mixing it will
manure, lime and ashes but in these case.
II was too far away to make it profitable t

Commercial Fertilizers.
ny a. n. rnrSolr Of Ryra,rr.


BY commercial fertilizers, we mean thos,
concentrated articles Of manure that are SC
abundanty offered for sale in all the cities
and large towns oiaour land, such as ruano
phosphates, poudrctto lime gypsum, Sc.
The first Of these articles, perhaps deserves
to be classed as No l. as to general results. in
fact, used as top dressing for grass lands II
has no equal, aud for this purpose should be
more universally used by our farmers.
Probably ten tons Of superphosphate are
sold in this county to every ton Of guano.
For grass lands it is not considered Sc
valuable as guano, for the reason that it,
ammonia j, SO easily detached that a large
portion is lost in the atmosphere before il
can be absorbed by vegetation. However,
for hoed crops, especially corn, ! have had
better success than with any other fertilizers,
applied directly to the bill before planting.
1t is true that some Of our best farmers fail
to get satisfactory results, from the use Of
commercial fertilizers, owing no doubt, TO the
manner in which they were applied to the
crop The usual practice Of dropping hand
fuI of some powerful fertilizer in the bin and
simply drawing over it one or two inches Of
soil, will often damage the growing crop
instead Of improving TO- while if it is Thoroughly
mingled with the soil surrounding the hill
for twelve inches, the extending roots do not
then come in direct contract with enough TO
iniure the plants. For this reason really
good article has often been condemned u.s.
worthless, while in more careful hands good
return will perceived for the money expended.
While | have great faith in special leriiii-
GERS. | am well aware that the farmers main
reliance in keeping up the fertility Of bis
farm, must be in the bountilu supply Of good
stable manure, both solid and liquid be an
nually returns to his fields from blrn-ccIlar-
and yards. At the same time farmers of
even limited experience will know that the
most liberal manuriug on many farms for
merly good for wheat, will scarcely produce
sufficient crop to return the seed at the pres
ent day while with the addition Of lime, SUI
perphosphate OF some fertilizer that will sup
ply the soil and crop with that very quality
or Ingredient that has been exhausted by
continued succession Of cropping year after
year, a good crop may be secured. No less
than thirty.siy bushels Of wheat to the acre
has been raised on some Of the river farms in
this country, by using composted manures
aud blowing in a crop Of clover and this on
farms previously considered almost worthless
for wheat
1t is well known that the farming districts
Of Great Britain have greatly increased the
productiyeness Of their farms within the last
fifty years, by a liberal and iudicious use Of
commercial fertilizers, and is there any good

Management of SmhIc Mmnre.


Eds. Country Gentleman With refer
ence to an article in your issue of March ..
am not surprised that j. p. H. complains
Of his stable manure heap heating He says,
" My manure pile is firmly sided in with
posts and boards" Now if the boards arc
say four feet high, and the manure about the
same, the sun striking on the outside of the
boards will soon heat or freianr large
amount Of manure. Take away the posts
and boards, and allow the heap to be trodlen
by the cattle, and it will obyiate the heating
process 50. if he mix stable and yard
manure together.
a capital plan to decompose manure
heap in the cattle shed and yard, where there
is a large straw stack, is to give the cattle
the full run Of the enclosure Spread out SO
much straw every day for feed What is not
eaten is Of course trodden down Once a
week, sow all over some salt, lime and plaster
BY the time the fall wheat requires to be
sown--that is, from the l-t to the 18th Of
September-you will have pretty we'll decom-
posed manure to haul out for the seed fur
row, and entirely free Of heat. adopt this
system, and have sometimes had wheat straw
from 60 to so acres TO get rid of, before
threshng comes around again. No intel.
ligent farmer will ever sell load Of straw
therefore it is all important to get it into man
ure and fit for crops with as little expense as
possible.
The better way, however, is to take about
three bushels of unslacked lime dissolve a
busheI of salt in water, and slako the lime
with it--any quantity in about the same pro-
/ portion. The salt aud lime mixture is very
valuable 1t retains the ammonia and de-
stroys the odor Of putrefyng animal matter.
Let any one try this who has dead carcase
put said earcasc in the duug-hill spread it
over with the mixture throw on lot Of
manure, then some plaster; cover up again
with manure, and in a short time Che whole
mass bones and ALL viii be decomposed.

EDS. Country GENTLEMAN IL would ask

your correspondents and others, as regards the
time required to churn | will give YOU our
experience in butter-makiug for over twenty
years, In this length of time it is very sci.
dom that we are five minutes in churning, ex.
cept sometimes late in the fall or fore part Of
winter when it takes little longer. The
quality Of our butter is as good as can be
made by any process, however long, in my
opinion, Now, if there is any secret about
our butter coming so quick, It is the skim.
ming Of the milk and the kind Of ohurn we
use. My wife always skins the milk herself
If she can aud is very particular that no
milk is taken off with the cream. She thinks
that loppered milk is worse to work out Of
butter than butrermilk, and it takes five times
as long to churn. The churn we use 1, the
common crank churn, one of my make land
