SEED WHEAT.

1t is questionable if it would pay
to purchase seed wheat from dis
tance, at double the ordinary market
price or even less than that, unless in
very small quantity and for an exs
pertinent. II is not safe to risk ones
whole crop, by changing the seed
without knowing exactly what you
are doing. The finer white wheats re-
.quire richer soil than the harder red
wheats, and the difference in the
market price will not warrant paying
much higher for the seed. 1t is moi
so much to the seed as to the land,
that we are to look for better crops,
and by selecting a good sample of
ordinary wheat free from weeds, at
fow cents above the market price,
one may do better than by paying
double or treble price for other seed,
the only merit of which may be that
it comes from distance and costs so
much. Clean selected seed is worth
20 cents bushel above the regular
market price of the same variety.

MY POTATO CROP.

Having at different times noticed
lrticles relating to the potato crop,
aud having as yet seen nothing that
beats my own, have therefore con-
cluded to give you q statement OF a
crop of this tuber which raised and
harvested in the summer and fall OF
1872. My soil is q sandy loan; not
very good crop OF hay taken from it
in the summer of 1870; plowed in the
fall, sowed in the spring of 1871 with
peas and buckwheat, about equal
parts ; rolled down and plowed It at
full bloom. Plowed again in the
spring OF 1872; planted to potatoes.
Quantity of land little less than
seven acres, say six and three.quarter
acres hoed twice; plastered immedi-
ately after first hOeing, nearly 100
bushels Of seed to the whole piece,
seed part cut, mostly whole; planted
in hills three feet between rows, two
or two and half between hills in the
row. Kinds of seed planted, Garnet
Chilies, Early Rose, Rocky Mountain,
English Whites, old-iashioned flesh
colored potatoes, and several other
sorts, the names of which l do not
know. My entire crop was 1866
bags, filled as tull as we could tie
them. Bags were the common two
bushel bags, part seamless cotton, the
balance linen. l weighed about one
fourth of them and averaged the rest
by those that were weighed at one
and half bushels to the bag, making
twenty-six hundred and fOrty-nine
bushels from the whole piece. w. II.

Anything in the shape of manure
or fertilizers is better than nothing
Well rotted fine manure is the best
application that can be made. Next
to that is coarse fresh manure, decom-
posed woods earth, rotten chip dirt
tanners waste, or sweepings of viii
lage streets. Where refuse from
woolen factories, slaughter houses, or
city waste of all kinds can be pro-
cured, these should be composted with
earth from the roadsides, or bottoms
of ditches and lime or wood ashes,
and after remaining month in the
heap, they may spread upon the grass.
1t is well to harrow up bare spots,
and sow some more grass seed upon
them. The earlier this can be done
the better for the meadow, as the
heavier coating Of fail growth tina
can be procured, the safer il will be
from injury by frost. Meadows should
otbe closely pastured late in the sea
on. -'N|

CIDER AND oIDER-vINEGAR.

To procure either cider or cider
vinegar Of the best quality, care and
sklll are required in the manufacture.
some too economical persons, think
ing that nothing should be wasted,
gather all the WOrmy and defective
apples that fall from the trees, and
consign them to the cider-press. As
new cider this questionable liquid is
sold to the unsuspecting consumer
for fifty cents a gallon. 1t however
bears no comparison with cider that
is carefully made from sound apples,
and cannot be made to produce we'll
Favored vinegar. 1t would be better
economy to feed all such apples to the
pigs, for the first requisite for good
cider or vinegar is sound fruit. All
bruised, wormy, OF defective apples
must be discarded, if perfection is
desired In the product. The next
Consideration is the mill and press,
and the method of using them. In
districts where timber Is plentiful,
and the necessary mechanical skill can
be had, an improvement upon the
old.fashioned mill and press is prob.
ably the best machine that can be
procured. 1t is made wholly of wood,
and no iron comes into contact with
the crushed fruit. The timber should
be sugar-maple or birch. These are
bee from the tannic acid, which rem
ders oak Objectionable, and stand wear
and tear sufficiently well. As the
9pples are ground, the pomace should
be put into the press Immediately, il
light oolored cider or vinegar is de.
sired. II deeper color Is wished
for, 1t can be procured by exposing
the pOmace in the mill to the air,
while one batch is pressing. A wood.
en- scoop should be used TO lift the
pomace. No iron should touch the
Crushed fruit OF juice during the pro.
cess, If excellence is wished for. The
juice runs through a filter Of cut
straw into a vat, from which It may
be dipped or pumped into the barrels.
1t is we'll to have a strainer of hair
cloth in the funnel, or across the
mouth of the pail, as the barrels are
filled. In all these processes the ut.
most cleanliness should be observed.
Ra good product is wished for.
When the juice is safely in the bar
rel, it needs close watching during
the fermentation. 1t is best to keep
the bung-hole covered, to exclude in-
sects and the air. After fermentation
has stopped, the cider should be care
fully drawn off into fresh, sweet
casks. The barrels should then be
stored away in place where the tenn
perature is even, and the bung.holes
tightly closed. If it is intended tor
vinegar, empty vinegar casks may be
used. The bung-holes should be left
open, and kept covered with a piece
of fine wire gauze, so as to admit the
air. After a time the vinegar will
make, and should be again drawn OIL
into clean casks, without disturbing
the sediment. If the sediment should
become disturbed, the vinegar is
never perfectly clear afterward. To
make vinegar from cider in the most
rapid manner, the building must be
heated to about 70o, and the liquid
frequently exposed to the air, by
drawing it from one cask to another.
