We notice in almost every issue
OF the Martinsburg independent an
article in relation to the wants of
that city and that paper partieu-
larly, first they want to make it
the seat of State Government,
next to have all the nortern cap
ilalists who propose to locate in
Hagerstown ID take inte consid-
GRAFTON the superior (?) advantages
of their town, next to have all the
railroad works Of the country 10
Gated there; have somebody else
to pay for the'gas and water works
lately inaugurated, aud finally
want to take the lead ia the tenn
perance crusade. According to
our way of thinking there ought

From the American Farmer.
THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.

MARCH. Work will soon begin
to push you in this department,
and it is to be hoped you have pre-
pared yourself for it by a proper
attention to the duties which could
be performed in advance of the
busy season.
Asparagus seed may be sown, as
soon as the ground is dry enough
to work, in drills a foot apart.
Plants from seeds sown last spring
may be Sc out. Put in good soil,
in rows three to four feet apart,
and plants one foot in rows and
with their crowns about six
inches below tho surface. Give a
good dressing of manure to old
beds.
Sow beets early in drills twelve
or fifteen inches apart. Thin out
so they will stand six or seven
inches in the drills. Carrots and
parsnips the same.
Cabbages and caulifiowers win
tered over or from hot-beds may
be set out as soon as the soil can
be worked. Both need be planted
in rich soil and to be well worked.
Celery seed should be sown early
as possible. Keep clear of weeds.
Lettuce, from the beds of cold
frames, may De planted out, and
seed sown for succession.
Seed Onions may be sown and
sets planted as early as practical
BILE to work the ground. The seed
sown thick will make sets for next
springs planting. The sets must
be planted on good ground. 1t is
not worth while to try to raise
onions on poor land.
Sow parsley seeds in drills foot
apart Ii is well to help their
termination by soaking in warm
weather. Keep the rows clean.
Sow early peas just as soon as
you can work the grouad. Make
drills tolerably deep, say four
inches, cover slightly with soil.
and over this put fine manure
Stick those that need support rs
soon as they are two or three
inches higu. They take hold OF
the brush better.
Rhubarb may be had early by
covering with barrels, around
which plenty Of manure should be
piled. The whole bed ought to
have a good application of manure
made to it.
Have your seeds and tools
ready and in order. that there
may be no delays at planting
time, or when the ground is ready
to work.
Potatoes, also, ought to be busted
with plaster, or put in a warm
room for a day or two before plant
ing. Some put them in hot-beds
to sprOut.
Sow radishes in a. light and good
soil, rs e,i'y as practicable, and
through the season for succession.
This vegetable, to be tender and
crisp, must make its growth
quickly; hence the ground must
be mellow.
Satisfy may be sown early in
uTiIis sixteen ihcnes apart, An mel
low soil. Keep clean.
Spinach may be sown toward
the end of the month. That
which was sown in the fall should
be well cultivated.
Turnip. may be sown as the
ground can be worked.
Your hOt-beds ought to be in or
der, and In them you may sow
egg plants, tomatoes and peppers,
to be set out in May. You may
also start in this way melons,
squashes and cucumbers, the best
plan being to cut square pieces of
sod, turn them grass side down,
and plant on them the seeds.
When the season arrives to plant
them out they may then be readily
moved
