Sow the hardy vegetables as soon as the
ground is dry, including in these beets, car
rots, cabbages, lettuce, onions, peas, pars-
nips, radishes and turnips. More tender
sorts should wait till the ground is warmer

and ST. per day for stacking (orhelp in stack

HOW TO IMPROVE FARMING

HOW TO IMPROVE FARMING.
1t is wise provision of nature that what
ever is largely wasted shall be produced in
enormously superfuous quantities. Mill
ions of seeds fall to the ground in the forest
for every one that produces a full grown
tree. 1t occurs to us that the enormous
quantity of good advice bestowed on farm
ers with regard to their business, fall within
the same category. Great progress has been
made; but not one farmer in the country fol
lows all the wise or otherwise directions
which agricultural journals shower upon
him. On the whole, it is probably quite as
well that this is so. A great deal Of the adj
vice is worse than useless, and practical
farmers can judge what to accept and what
to reject.
One Of our correspondents who has not
philosophical on this subject as we have, re-
marked to us the other day that it was
strange so many farmers who took and read
agricultural papers continued to plod on the
old-fashioned ruts of poor farming. In many
cases the advice they read produces no effect
whatever. Clergymen are used to this, and
our brethren of the Agricultural Press must
fall back on their philosophy for explana-
ton. A shreWd old clergyman was once
baldheaded. The retort was quick and pat.
$ ou know Mr.. e. sits in one of the front
pews, and all the time am preaching he al
ways has his head bowed forward, and the
gospel has hit the top ofhis head and glanced
off so often that il has made him entirely
bald" In very many cases the readers of
Agricultural papers seem to have suffered
in the same way, and we would not wonder
if hundreds of them were as destitute of hair
on the top of the head as Old Uncle Ned =
i'm the ancient negro rhymes.
g Line upon line, and precept upon pre-
cept 2 is doubtless good in it's way; but for
practical effectiveness there is nothing quite
equal to example. One good thorough farm
er will revolutionize the farming methods of
a neighborhood, and make every acre in the
vicinity worth higher price. We have
known some such cases. Where it is shown
by practical experience that undertaking
thorough manuring and cultivation, i'm
proved stock and implements will pay, there
is no lack of farmers who will gladly imi-
tate these improvements. The trouble has
been that seeing anything recommended il
"the paper" is not conclusive evidence to
most farmers that it is even practical
less that it will pay them to adoptit When
the thing is tested in their own neighbor-
hoods and proved a success, there is no diff
ficulty in securing initators. IF one man il
town grows onions, broom corn, castor
beans, hops, or some other unusual crop
and makes a success OF it, one by one hi;
neighbors take up similar methods and The
old ruts are effectually broken. Go through
the country, and you will find if any unu
sual industry has succeeded that a number
of farmers in neighborhood are engaged
in it. 'rhis is notably true of hop-growing
dairying, apple, pear or peach culture, o.

of in Halls Journal, and which carries con-
viction OF its excellence to the mind of an
old housekeeper. It Is this: When the
coffee is roasted, and before it is quite cold,
while you can hold the berries comfortably
in your hand, add to every pound Of coffee
the white ofan egg, and stir the mass well,
SO that every berry will be wet with it.
It has two advantages the first is one
spoken of by the writer Of the article, OF
settling tile coffee without the addition of
anything but boiling water, and the second
would be to coat the berry with the egg 80
as to preserve the aroma, which will pass
away in measure from the roasted berry
We feel morally certain that coffee prepared
in this way, with the addition OF cream,
would be a beverage fit for the Gods.

SUGAR BEETs In ADMINISTRATION Ne
braska there comereports of enormous crops
of field beets. Mr.. A. Smith, of Rock Bluffs,
reports yield of thirty-seven and a half
tons on one acre. The thirty-seven and a
half tons of beets, manufactured into sugar,
would produce 5000 pounds of sugar, and
estimating this worth nine cents per pound,
the money value of the beets grown on one
acre would be $540. Mr.. Smith has demon
strated that beet can be grown in sufficient
quantity to make sugar making an impor-
tant branch of industry, and the analysis of
Prof. Baker indicates that the quality is suit
able. But no one will grow beets for profit
until there is mandatory. The statement
is interesting as showing the possibilities Of
the product @
A MIR. BIDDLE ia an address before the
Philadelphia Agricultural Society recently,
stated that the fences in Pennsylvania alone
amounted to 81, 100000, coo, and their annual
expense he estimated at $10,000,O0O. A dis
tinguishad writer on national wealth says
" Strange as It may seem, the greatest in
vestment in this country, the most costly
production of human industry, is the com
mon fances which inclose and divide the
fields. No man dreams that when compared
to the outlay on these unpretending monu-
ments ofhuman art, our cities and cur towns,
with all their wealth, are far behind. In
many places the fences cost more than the
fences and farms are both worth. It is this
enormous burden which keeps down the ag-
ricultural interests Of the county, causing an
untold expenditure, besides the loss of the
land the fences occupy.

This capital little vine, so neat, bright and
enduring and SO useful in many ways,

of a red color. Except seeds are wanted, it
is not, we think, SO pretty while in flower
