CULTIVATION IN SEASON.

With a press of work, often the cul-
tivation of hoed crops is put off until
the weeds have attained a consider
able size. even so as to overshadow the
crop. This is mistake. Every weed
not destroyed is sapping the ground of
the nutriment that is just in the best
condition for the growing plant, but if
the weed is destroyed as it comes out
of the ground 1t has, as yet, only taken
its nutriment from its own seed. Again,
a single motion when weeds are tiny,
will destroy hundreds, where if allow
ed to remain while longer each indi-
vidual specimen will require the same
effort. Here is where the stroke in
time saves ninety nine or more. This
is most emphatically true in the growth
of onions, beets and other crops close
ly sown, which require hand work en-
tirely. In case of potatoes, the plan
of narrowing after planting and before
they are far advanced is growing fast
in favor This allows the crop to have
a good start of the weeds, and the po-
tatoes are not in the least injured by
the Ilarrow.-DetrOit Fee Press.

HAVE STRAWBERRY BED.

A correspondent of the Ndss0citt-
sets PloughmGn says: MANY who
own but a small piece of land, as well
as those who have spacious gardens,
may enjoy one of the greatest luxuries,
at trifiing expense. Myfirst attempt
was wonderful success. ] began
with Hovey's Seeding, receiving a
few plants from friend, and ten times
as many more from pasture; most Of
which were in blossom, when they
were taken up.
They were set in hills circulaTly, and
were fertilized, about twelve plants in
a hill, two and half feet distant.
These were hoed and generally culti-
waited, as corn would be, except 'hill-
ing"
The weeds were very easily removed
or destroyed, and the first season, from
these thirty hills, there was gathered
perhaps quart.
Soon as the bearing season was past,
a liberal quantity of manure was
spread over the piece and forked in
thoroughly, and the ground was soon
overspread with new plants.
Just before severe cold weather came
on, they were covered lightly with
straw litter, which was carefully re-
moved before the new growth com
menced in spring, and in June and
July following there were taken from
this small piece of land, thirty-three
quarts of hulled trawberries-or at
the rate of more than 5000 quarts to
the acre.
The berries were very large, some OF
them five inches in circumference.
More recently have cultivated Will
sons Albany, more excellent variety,
and the fruit of superior flavor and
color
With q small number of choice
plants, therefore, and others gathered
from the fields and properly intermin-
gled with the former, any person OF a
little tact, can cultivate all lie may
want of this most delicious fruit, and
sell still greater quantity at a band
some profit in the market"

OyER.DRAINED LAND.

From general farming experience of
not less that twenty-five years, prefer
land over drained Off possible) to land
not done, or inefficiently done, al
though have been told more than
once that land has been spoiled 10y
draining, for cheese making purposes,
which is the complaint of ineompe-
tent farmers. Supposing they are right,
it can only apply to few isolated
places. When land has been properly
drained at a depth of three or four
feet, every day facts 60 to prove the
benefit, especially after an application
of top dressing-bones, compost or
sewage. The latter, in some cases,
might not be suitable for cheese. Grass
land, after draining, has sometimes an
impoverished aspect, because the coars-
er grasses are deprived of their element
(stagnant water, and will ere long die
out and disappear, and will give place
to other grasses of better quality, pro-
ducing by der-draining and surface
appliances. The result of top dressing
is far better on land that is drained,
than on that which is is not drained

IY0IDIyG HEN LICE.

These parasites breed and multiply
in the filth and dirt in and about the
hens quarters. The manure should
NOT be allowed 10 accumulate under
the roofs and on the floors of the
houses. 1t should be deoderized with
dry earth or sifted coal ashes, or muck
or plaster, or other absorbent, and re-
moved at least once week, and de-
posted where fowls cannot gain access
to it. This, when properly attended
TO, viii be found to render the task OF
keeping down the lice much carrier.
The quarters, including roosts, nests,
walls, floors and utensils of all kinds,
should be thoroughly whitewashed-
say in April, July, September and No
vember. The wash should have some
sulphur or kerosene incorporated with
1t, and If it be put on hot it will be all
the better. 1t should be applied to
every crack and Granny, no point
being missed. The roost-holes or
perches should be removed, and all
the bearings or points of contact should
be especially treated, for it is in those
places that the ''mites" are most at
home. After thorough application
OF the liIne-wash, the roosts should be
well smeared with a mixture of lard
and kerosene. The hens natural re-
sort to rid herself of lice is the dust
bath. Where fowls are not at liberty
to seek q suitable bath, it should
always be furnished them in a sunny
part of their house. 1t may consist of
chip dirt, dry earth, sifted coal ashes,
wood ashes, or a mixture of all of them
together, with little sulphur or Per-
sian powder mixed with it. Even
where fowls have their liberty it will
be found beneficial to give them a
busting place, to which they will be
sure to resort. 1t will never be neces
sary to catch and apply oil or grease of
any kind to fowls to destroy lice, if the
foregoing suggestions are put into
practice. But where, from neglect or
carelessness, the poultry are infested,
it may be advisable-in order to de-
stroy as soon as possible all traces of
the vermin-to apply some unguent
poison to the body of the fowls. For
this purpose we would advise mixture
of lard and coal oil, heated together,
until thoroughly mixed, as the cheap
est and most convenient article to use.
If thought best, little sulphur may
be mixed into the compound. To ap-
ply it, catch the fowls at night, and
with the finger smear a little of the
preparation on the top of the head and
under the lower mandible; then put
small quantity under each wing, and
rub it in, SO that it will reach the skin;
repeat the same operation between the
body and thighs, and about the root
of the tail. One operation, if thor
oughly performed, will be sufficient.
The complaint that poultry keeping
is improbable generally comes from
parties who neglect the small details of
the business, which are SO important
to the comfort and profitableness of
the flock. If the foregoing directions
are put into practice, there will be but
little to apprehend on the score of lice.
