Fead,ne Horses too Much Hay.

OF all our domestic animals there
are none that require more systematic
care than the horse. A horse should
be fed regularly and in moderate guam
titles. and worked judiciously. A
horse fed in this way may be kept at
a moderate cost, and will be more
healthy, perform more labor than II
fed highly, or as many we know OF are
in the habit of feeding their horses.
They will surely eat enough to injure
them if they can get it. When hay is
kept constantly before them, horses
are apt to spend their time in throw
ing il around topsy -turvy in the rack !;
they soon become dissatisfied with
their food, ana lose their keen relish
for it. The general practice should be
to feed regularly three times a day.

Why Seeds Fail.

In the first place, we will examine
the cause of failure. If small seeds
are planted too deep, they either rot in
the damp, cold earth, for the want of
warmth necessary to their termination,
perish before the shoots can reach the
sun and air SO that which was design
ed for their support and n0uriShment
proves their grave.
If the soil is stiff clay, it is often too
cold at the time the seeds are planted
must be understood that warmth and
moisture are necessary to the germin-
alton of seeds. Neither OF these will
do alone. Seeds may be kept in a
warm, dry room, in dry sand or earth.
and they will not grow. They may be
placed in damp earth, and kept in
low temperature, and they will most
likely rot, though some seeds will re-
main dormant long time under these
circumstances. But place them in
moist earth, in warm room, and they
will commence growth at once. An
mother difficulty with heavy soil is
that it becomes hard on the surface.
and this prevents the young plants
from "coming up" or, If during show
cry weather, they happen to get above
the surface, they become locked in
and make but little advancement un-
less the cultivator is careful to keep
the crust well broken and in doing

SCioyed. II stiff, the soil where small

stable manure, have a good effect, as does
lime or plaster, soWn broadcast after the
planting is all done. Having put the soil in
proper condition by draining, manuring and
deep plowng, and thorough narrowing and
rolling, the next thing is to plant it. Each
kind Of seed should be planted as early as
there is any prospect that it will grow. AS
but little of each kind is planted it is better
to run the risk of having to plant part of it
the second time, than have a late garden.
Early peas may be soWn almost as soon
as the frost is out of the ground Cabbage
plants, if they have been properly hardened,
will stand considerable freezing without in
jury. Potatoes can be planted as soon as
the hard freezes are over. Sweet corn, let
tuce, onions, beets, carrot, beans, cucum-
bers, may be planted much earlier than they
usually are, and if they fail to grow, the
same ground can be planted for later crop
OF the same kind. Do not plant all the corn,
peas, beans, radishes, ETC., at once, but make
successive paintings, and then if the earliest
fail the next will come on Immediately, and
after the earliest are too ripe to use, the lat
ter planting will be ready. Late cabbages
and cauliflower can be planted after rad
ishes, lettuce, early beets and early pota-
toes-celery after early cabbages, and any
ground cleared before the fifteenth of Au-
gust can be sown to turnlps.
One of the important aids to good gar
den is thorough culture. Don't let the
weeds get started. 1t is easier to keep them
down than to pull them after they have got
started, and hoeing the crop is great ad-
eantage, even if there are no weeds.

BUSINESS HABITS.

There Is probably not one farmer in ten
thousand who keeps set of accounts from
which he can at any moment learn the cost
of anything he may have produced, or even
the cost of his real property. A very few
farmers who have been brought up to busi-
ness habits keeps such accounts, and are
able to tell how their affairs progress, what
each crop, each kind Of stock, or each ami
NAL has cost, and what each produces
Knowing these points a farmer can, to a
very great extent, properly decide what
crops he will grow, and wha5 kind of stock
he will keep. He will thus be able to apply
his labor and money where it will do the
most good. He can weed out his stock and
retain only such animals as may be kept
with profit, For the want of such knowl-
edge, farmers continue, year after year, to
feed COWS that are improbable, and fire.

for his plowing and narrowing, twice as

pork cost him twice as much, or the corn

AG RICU L I i R A l,
FARM GARDENS.

The following by correspondent to the
Rural Neao Yorker, though not entirely ap-
plicable to this country, contains many inn
portant facts which are worthy of consulta-
ton by our mountain farmers.
Farmers do not generally realize the ad-
vantage, the profit, of a good garden, be-
cause they do not sell what is raised in it,
nor buy vegetables if they do not raise them,
and yet if they do not raise them they have
to buy other things to use instead, or use up
what they might otherwise sell. There is
no better way to estimate the value of gar
den produce than by its price in the market.
Men who raise vegetables to sell get from
two to five hundred dollars per acre, at
wholesale prices, and the consumer pays
much more. Now if the laborer and me-
chanic in the city (where bread and meat are
nearly as cheap as in the country find it
economical to buy vegetables at prices that
would pay the gardener from four hundred
to one thousand dollars per acre. the garden
is surely worth half as much to the farmer
A good garden is worth more money, saves
more money, than ten times the amount Of
land will yield in ordinary field crops, and
every man who neglects it loses his best op-
portunity to make money. But poor gar
den is disgrace to a farm, and time and
money thrown away-poor soil, planted too
late, and covered with Weeds-this is it's his
tory, and failure is the result.
But the profits is not the only advan tage
of good garden. 1t is a healthful luxury
If farmers would eat more vegetables and
less pig and pastry in summer, they would
be healthier and suffer less from heat and
thirst, and consequently drink less cold wa
ter, which everyone knows is very injuri-
Gus.
As farm gardens are usually small, it costs
but little more to make it a good garden
than to make 1t a failure. The first neces-
sity is to have it thoroughly drained so that
1t can be worked very early in the spring.
Then a good share of the garden work can
be done before time to begin the general
work. Many persons do not think it worth
their while to do anything in the garden un-
til the whole can be planted. The conse-
quence is that some things are planted too
late, and some too early, the farm work
crowds, the garden is neglected, and a few
sickly vegetables and a great many luxuri-
ant weeds is the result.
The next thing after draining, is thorough
manuring, and this should be done at the
rate of from twenty-five to forty two horse
loads of manure per acre every year. It is
better to use different kinds of manure than
to use the same kind constantly. tits with
this as it is with farm crops-the best results
are produced by rotation or variety. No sim
gle kind of manure contains all the materi-
ais needed to enrich a garden, and when the
same kind is used all the time it seems to
lose its power to feed growing crops. Hen
manure and ashes, used in connection with

LILLIEs-For the past three years we
have been unsuccessful with many lilies,
such as Excelsum, Chalcedonicum and
Humboldt and previously as well, with
Browni, one of the most beautiful of Lilies,
which, though we tried it repeatedly with
every care, never once bloomed, and after
more or less feeble summer-existence. was
heard of no more forever. Sometimes-as
with Excelsum more strikingly-a good
stem would shoot up foot or more with
every appearance of perfect health. Here
it would remain for weeks without further
growth and then dwindle away. We have
found, upon removing the earth, that these
stems had drawn their substance from the
bulb itself, no roots being found upon the
disk, and that the stem must have died when
the bulb had yielded all its store of nutri-
ment. Extensive growers. we have found
upon inquiry, are troubled in the same way.
In some instances wire-worms are said to do
