PLANTING HORSE RADISH.
From the Germantown Teleqraph.

From the Germantown Telegraph.
If we look through our market and
see the chunky stuff sold for horse rad
ish, it is clear that not one in hundred
knows how to grow it. Horse radish
well grown is as profitable as any gar
den crop, but we think there is not
much profit in the scrubby stuff refer
red to-
To have good horse radish, rather
heavy soil should be chosen, but by no
means wet, though one which gardeners
would call damp and cool will be by no
means objected to. 1t cannot very well
be made too rich and if even trenching
the ground is to find favor it will surely
be in favor with this crop. Most of
our readers know what gardeners call
trenching; if not, the more agricultural
term of sub-soiling will give good
idea.
Now the object in raising good horse
radish is to have long, clean, straight
roots, and coed culture is to get these
In raising horse radish, every piece of
the root which has little of the crown
grows. Generally pieces an inch or so
long are set just beneath the soil, and
one or more buds starts up to make
crowns with leaves, and others go down
to make root or roots. These are then
forky or twisted and give the wretched
roots we see. The proper way is to
; make holes with dibble, post spade or
crowbar, so as to let the small pieces
which are to make plants go down a
foot or more Then fill in the holes
and wait The result is that in cou-
pie of months a sprout will start up
wards to the surface, and this sprout
in time becomes the straight, clean root
we have spoken about. The second
season after planting they will be in
marketable condition, and should be all
taken up and marketed that season and
a new plantation made in like manner
on the same ground. From the pieces
left in the ground by the digging of the
old roots many will come up, and these
are generally relied on to form the sue
ceeding crop; but these sprouts should
be hoed off as they come and be regard
ed as nothing but weeds, which every
thing that comes up where it is not
wanted is.
In setting out the rows must be made
about eighteen or twenty inches apart,
and the pieces to form roots be planted
about four or six inches apart The
distance, however, between the rows is
to be regulated by the method of cul-
ture. Where the plow is used to clear
out between the rows, they must be
wider than when grown as a garden
crop. The richness of the ground will
also regulate the distance to put the
sets apart. The richer the ground the
| closer the sets may be put.
If these simple hints are followed,
one need never be without good relish
for fish, roast beef, or any of the multi
tudinous dishes where little pungency
is not to be despised.

~ Early Spring Chickens bring
about the lest prices of any produce
the farmer takes to market, excepting
eggs. To get the birds early in market
is the first requisite to obtain high
prices, and to do this the Matching
must be done in the Winter when the
little chicks require care and attention.
Cold, wet aud vermin are the great
enemies to the chicks. yet they are
easily overcome. When the hen comes
off the nest after Matching dig up
place in the barn so that she can have
a chance to roll in the loose dirt, which
with greasing the hens wings with
hogs lard will kill the lice. Feed the
chicks Indian meal mixed with sour
milk, which, before using should stand
one day after being mixed so that it
may swell in the dish rather thaa in
the crop of the chicken. Keep them in
a warm, dry place and they will thrive
and grow wonderfully.

more. Our winter feed consists of half
a bushel of roots and four quarts of
mill-feed to the grown animals, morn
ing and night, with all the cut oat-
straw or cut fodder that they will eat.
To the yearlings and calves we feed
good timothy and clover hay, turnips,
mill-feed aud corn chop,-varying the
feed according to the capacity of the
animal. The calves get milk until they
are six months old Have never weigh
ed the hay, so that l cannot say how
much each animal will eat. Hope that
this will answer your purpose.

There is no let down in the rush of business at
Hugh Gillcn's. That new stock, which averages
a reduction of about 90 per cent. on every arti'
Gle from bolt of tape to silk dress, is taking
the people by storm, and hard times are not
thought of at the Reddick corner. In his new
style dress goods the French mixtures and steel
coorings haze had an especially notable run.
Nothing finer was ever shown in Ottawa at such
prices. Those who have not seen them should go
at once, Then there is something quite new and
surprising in the line of lace curtains, which it
will pay at once to go and see; as well as the
novelties n the line of corsets and gloves. What
would the ladies say, for instance, to Nelson's
seamless kid gloves for Sl.259 Well, Gillen has
them, and thousand other things the ladies will
be delighted to see when they get there.

Land and Insurance Agency.

The wellknown firm OF Harris & Kellogg, in
the Lana, Loan, Collection and Insurance Agen-
cy business in this city, is dissolved by mutual
consent, Mr.. Harris retaining the old Office and
business, while Mr.. Kellogg opens a new office,
as noted elsewhere
As Dr. Harris proposes hereafter to "paddle
his own canoe" we beg leave to speak good
word for him. He has been a resident ef Ottawa
for nearly twenty-five years, during all which
time we have known him intimately, and think
therefore we have right to bear testimony to
his purity OF character his eminent business
qualifications and spotlcss integrity. No man,
having the business of others intrustcd to his
care, will serve them with more watchful dill
gence or scrupulous carcrfulncss. There Is,
of course no need Of saying this to the people
of Ottawa and vicinity, all Of whom know the
doctor, but as his business relations extend from
New England to the far west, it is possible that
among strangers occasionally the Doctor may
find it convenient to refer to This, our Spontan-
cous and wholly unsolicited testimonial as to
his worth and the estimation in which he is held
by his intimate acquaintance and ncighbors.

QUEENS CIRCus.-On Thursday last Montgom-
cry Queens circus exhibited here and to very
good audiences day and evening. He has, to our
thinking one Of the best combinations Of all
sorts OF talent that the country can producc.
Every one Of his actors is star and each has his
or her own part to perfection. For instance, the
trapeze performance Of Leopold and Geraldine
has never been beaten and the lady's strength,
activity and grace were the wonder Of all. Little
Molle Browns riding bareback horse and even
out doing jim Robinson's best efforts surprised
every one and won plaudits from ALL The music
was good and the clowns were good, and the en-
tire show was good, and we judge impartially in
calling this the circus of the season
And last but not least, and purposely we put
in here that the bright particular star was "Sig,
Faranti," formerly Mr.. Stemple, an Ottawa boy
who is known the homeless man, and in his
specially has no equal, .n.. .t...
Mr.. Queen wintered a part of his stock of
horses at Morris last winter, and would take our
fair grounds here next winter if satisfactory ar
engagements can be made. A hint to all concern
cd is in point.
