Beets like most roots can be raised on
any character of soil that will produce
corn or potatoes (green sward excepted,
perhaps). light sandy loan is the
most congenial to their growth, aud like
most other crops OF the farm the richer
the land the better the yield. ! think one
reason why more farmers do not make 4
speciality OF raising roots OF some Kind
i, the expense for labor incurred to grow
them. But one thing is certain, a
thorough preparation OF the ground be-
tore sowing is the most essential re-
quisite to an economical outlay Of labor
in growing roots OF any kind.
When practicable it is the preferable
way TO plough the ground in the fall and
cover in the manure. then work fine in
the spring with cultivator and harrow.
Don't be in hurry 10 plant the seed be.
fore the ground gets warm Plant rs
near as possible to the time of the last
working OF the land, and thereby have
the beet plants up with the weeds. and
hoe up the weeds and grass as soon rs
the plants make their appearance. II
the weeds are kept down from the start
it will be comparatively easy to keep
them so all the way through, until the
beets shade the ground so as to keep the
weeds in cheek; but let them get the
start and il will prove Il back aching job
to eradicate them. Ridge planting. that
is, throw up two burrows with n small
plow about twenty inches from center
to center, rake down so the ridges will
be about three inches above the general
level, is good way to plant. Cover the
seed about two inches deep, and compress
the earth slightly alter covering so as to
retain the moisture and hasten germina-
ton of the seed. Sow thick enough so
as to have the plants within eight inches
of each other, after having gone over
them and thinned out when about four or
five inches high. If the land is rich they
grow quite large and need more room
than the distance given above. They
grow considerably above the gtound and
at harvesting they are easily pulled and
thrown in heaps for storing.

PaSturing on Glover.

T. L Shepard, Lowell, Ohio, says: AS
have been puzzled by conflicting testimony
in regard to turning cattle into clover,
part of which thought good and part de-
cidedly bad, determined to give some
rules so plain that the wayfaring man
need not err therein, and here they are:
l. Never put anything into fresh clover
pasture on an empty stomach.
.. Never when the grass is wet
8. Never put them i'll when the weather
is changing from warm to cold.
4. Do not give any salt for at least TWEEN
ty-four hours before putting in the first
time, nor until the evening of the second
day.
5. Do not let them remain in more than
about twenty minutes the first time, after
which they may run wet or dry with per-
feet safety.
Without such precautiOn there is danger
of swelling from bloat, and valuable ami
mails are often lost in this way.

Ammonia i'm the Household.

Ammonia is valuable for many practi-
cal purposes in the economy of the house
hold. Chemists are profound concerning
the native article in its all important SER
vices in the economy of nature; but far
mers' wives throughout the country really
know but very little of the manifold uses
that can be made of q pint of spirits kept
in the house, bottled and labelled. The
following are among these: For washing
paint, put table spoonful in a quart of
moderately hot water, dip in flannel
cloth, and with it simply wipe off the
woodwork, no scrubbing will be necessary.
For taking grease spots from any fabric,
use the ammonia nearly pure, then lay
white blotting paper over the spot, and
iron it lightly. In washing laces, put
about twelve drops in pint of
warm suds. To clean silver, mix
two teaspoonsful of ammonia in
quart of hot soapsuds, put in your silver
tooth brush for the purpose. For clean
ing hair brushes &C., simply shake the
bushes up and down in mixture of one
teaspoonful of ammonia to pint of hot
water; when they are cleansed rinse them
in cold water; and stand them in the wind
or in a hot place to dry. For washing fin
ger marks from looking glasses or win
dows, put few drops of ammonia on
moist rag, and make quick work of it. If
YOU wish your house plants to flourish,
put few drops of spirits of ammonia in
every pint of water used in watering. A
teaspoonful in basin of cold water will
add much to the refreshing effects of a
bath. Nothing is better than ammonia
water for cleansing the hair. In every
case rinse the ammonia with clear water.

A Radical drummer for New Y ork
mercantile house was staying at the
hotel few days. Soon after he be-
came acquainted with the negro por-
ter, he discoufsed to bim about as fol-
lows, in apoiitical conversation:
$ Well, John, the law makes you
the equal of the white man now. You
can ride on the same cars, put up at
the same hotels, sleep in the same
beds; in short, do everything that
white folks do.You are my equal,
John, you are any mans equal. /

Now, John was a sensible darkey,
and not being used to such talk, told
it to his employer, the landlord. That
worthy humored the joke, and said !:
"JohR, I'll give yeu two dollars if
you'll sleep with that fellow tonight.
He says you're his equal"
"All right. massa, I'll do it certain"
laughed the negro. Night came, and
the drummer was hardly slowed
snugly in bed when John, the porter,
shuffiedh into the roomy took his seat
on chair, and began pulling off his
boots. The drummer raised up in
some surprise. and the following col
loquy ensued:
Drummer. w hat are you going to

John" Gettin' ready for bed, sab" !"
Drummer-"The hill you are !

Aud John, with the corners of his
