Nearly all plants are propagated by
slips Of vigorous growth set in sand,
which is kept saturated with water. Any
one with q common fower-pot saucer
filled with sand can successfully root
any variety which they wish to increase.
All soft-wooded plants, as fuchias, gera-
NUNS, heliotrOpes, ETC., root in from
seven to ten days. Roses, camellias,
azalias, etc., require three or four weeks.
The London market gardeners pay
$500 per acre yearly rent for the land
they cultivate, and their average profit
amounts to $500 per acre. One English
penny equal 10 two of our cents) per
square yard is equal to 500 an acre, and
as there are nine early lettuces raised in
every square yard these figures are not
at all improbable; il fact some of our
market gardeners "go several better"
than this, but these gardeners are few

Every farmer should have a small
room, tight and warm, which he can
lock, and where he can keep his small
tools. Then he wants q good, solid
bench, with an iron wise on one side
and q wooden one on the other. For
iron working he wants solid piece of
iron for an anvil, q seven-pound steel
face hammer, riveting hammer, one
large and one small cold chisel, two or
three punches from one.fOurth to three.

The roller is more valued farm i'm
plement than formerly. Our improved
farm machinery demands smooth sur
faces on the fields. Then farmers have
learned that better blowing can be done
with smooth surface than an uneven
one, and good blowing means easy after
tillage and clean crops. The roller is
needed on the new meadow in the spring,
on the fields of spring grain after SOW
ing, and quite likely on the planting
ground. Rolling is so simple an opera
ton that the common log roller is about
as good as the more costly tool made of
iron and plank. On fields that are pretty
free of stone a clod-crusher, made of
plank fastened to s'antling and over
tapping each other like clapboards on
house, answers an excellent purpose.
