Add Sand to Your Garden Soil.

A correspondent of The Germantown
Telegraph gives the following good advice
on gardening
The natural soil of a large portion of the
American gardens could be improved and
made to yield heavier crops by an admis-
sion of sand. In many sections where
clayey soils prevail, gardens thus treated
would be rendered more friable and could
be worked earlier in spring. Sand, to the
depth of two or three inches, spread over
the surface and gradually intermixed by
cultivation, would i'll many instances effect
a great improvement. One of the import
ant features which this mode of treatment
possesses, is the permanent character of
the Improvement.
When fertilizers are merely added to the
soil, it gradually and in a few years loses
its richness as the added elements disap-
pear; but sand applied artificially does not
disappear but remains for ages. Many
garden-soils that are naturally light, sandy,
or gravelly, frequently do not possess suf-
ticient strength to retain for any length of
time the manure applied to them Hence,
an application of heavy loan will be found
beneficial in more than one point of view.
The present IS not too late to apply sand or
loan, as your knowledge of the character
of the garden soil will dictate.
In clay regions, beds of sand may be
found within reasonable distance, and
should you be required to pay twenty-five
cents per load it will prove a profitable
Investment. Sand should compose one
fifth part of the soil of fower-beds.

How TO Boil PoTAToEs.-Well wash
the potatoes, put them into an iron sauce
pan with lump of salt, cover them with
cold water, fix the lid down closely, and
place them, not upon, but near the fire. till
the water boils; then, when the skins
begin to break, strain every drop of the
water off, and cover them instantly with a
clean cloth, which must be pressed down
SO as to prevent any escape of the steam.
This being done, place the saucepan on the
trlvet or the bar of the range, and by the
time the rest Of the dinner is fit for serving,
the potatoes also will be ready. Four I'M
portant things in this mode of cooking
potatoes must be borne in mind-first, a
full hour before dinner is to be dished up
must be allowed for the potatoes; secondly,
unless they are very old potatoes, they
should he boiled in their coats; thirdly. a
fork should never be used to try them while
cooking; and fonrthly, the instant they are
done they should be carried to the table

FARM AND USEHOLD.
Burying vs.. Transporting Rocks.

There are two sides to most questions,
and the question whether We shall bury or
lift out the stones from our pastures is no
exception to the general rule. Under GER
tain circumstances it is admitted that the
rock -liftcrs are the most economical. With
Packers Machine, or a Rocklitter, three
men and a team will take out i'll day
say one hundred rocks, weighing from two
to six tons. 1t will take the same force,
another day, to pack them away in wall
if it is handy. If you have to carry them
Il long distance and dump them into
swamp or pOnd-hole, it will take still
longer. If a man has the fence fever strong
upon him, and cannot sec that twenty-acre
fields arc better than four, then let him lift
stones and build the heavy walls. But
some of us covet large fields: and we prize
the Dogs too highly for cranberries, to fill
them up and make upland of them. We
want the stones out of sight, and out of the
way of the plow. We cannot sell the
rocks, and we have too many fences already.
TO us burying is the cheapest method.
good workman will put one of these large
stones out of sight in about an hour, and
in the fall and winter, when labor is CHEAP
est and the weather is tittest, the cost will
be fifteen cents. He simply digs hole
with pick and spade or shovel, beside the
stone, partially undermincs it, and, with
crow-bar tips the rock in, calculating in
his digging to leave the top of the rock
two feet below the surface of the ground.
One advantage of this method is that it
raises the surface of the ground. In re-
moving the rocks, as we have to with rock
lifters, the grade is so much lowered that
sometimes new rocks unseen before are
brought to the surface, and second crop
has to be pulled before we can give clean
sweep to the pillow. In burying, we raise
the grade so as to avoid this necessity.
Much less of the subsoil is brought to tho
surface by this process than by the other.
The stones and gravel are put in pile on
one side of the rock, and the surface soil in
another pile. When the rock is dumped
into the hole, the small stones are packed
around the edges, and the subsoil and
gravel filled in next, and the surface soil
last. This treatment operates good deal
like subsoiling and undertaking COM
bined. There is drainage all around the
sides of the buried rock; the subsoil and
surface soil are thoroughly loosened and
sufficiently mingled, and the soil is put in
the best mechanical condition for crops.
The good effects upon the soil are visible
for many years after the operation
Manure tells best over these sunken rocks,
and the grass and other crops are largest.
We do not mean to deprcciate the value of
the rock-lifters. We need all of them, and
more. But there are circumstances where
burying is the cheaper way of clearing
rocky pastures and meadows.

From Hearth and Home.
From Mrs. Kate Hunnibee's Diary.

One of those charming days that visited
us early in December last, the boys went
on a tramp to the woods, taking a basket
to bring home winter green and moss in.
Not needing all the moss they procured for
hanging baskets, they carpeted the earth of
my flower-pots with it, and very pleasant
have been its effects Shaded by the foliage
of the plants, it has kept moist and green,
and as mulch has increased the verdure
and luxuriance of my geraniums, fuchsias,
and heliotropeS, which | have not been
able, in any previous winter. to keep in so
fine a condition as now The moss, too,
prevents the frequent sprinklings | give
my plants from splaShing the earth about
on the flower stand and carpet, which is
an item worthy of note. To-day moved
the tiower-pots all closer together, to give
Gussie's box of tomato plants the sunniest
spot. He anticipates quite a harvest of
small change, if he can only command the
earliest prices in the Busydale market.
Satisfied that if boys and girls make sue
cessful and happy farmers and farmers
wives, they must lore the culture of the
SOIL and enjoy the labor it brings, | never
lose chance to increase their opportunities
of charging the income they derive from
the plot of ground their father has given
them for their own. Last summer they
realized quite handsome returns in their
various investments in sage plants, toma-
toes, and popcorn. This year they are
going to fertilize strip along one of the
fences, and plant lima beans, using the
fence for the trellis, instead of bean poles.
This experiment has been tried by one of
our neighbors with success. The price of
fresh lima-beans, shelled, did not 60 below

ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keepit clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted

HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
