operation, and cannot be performed too
soon. Carrots will make tops but no
roots while they are crowded together, so
that getting roots Of disable size early
depends quite as much, if not more, upon
thinning as upon sowing. Those who
have to force carrots understand this. AS
we can never be sure of escaping the
maggot, it is not advisable to thin the
plants too much at first. A partial thin
ming, as soon as the plants can be con-
yenienr,y laid hold of, will do-the opera
ton to be repeated two or three times as
required till they have sufficient room.
Timely thinning gives thick roots and short
tops. ! ought to have mentioned be-
fore that the seed should not be sown
more than half an inch deep; and in
heavy retentive soils it is an excellent
plan to cover the seeds with light, rich
soil, scattering it along the drill by hand
This slight stimulant helps to hurry them
past the critical stage. During the sum-
mer, hoeing between the rows with a
Dutch hoe, just deep enough to break the
cake" on the surface, and kill the weeds,
should be practiced, and in dry weather a
thorough delugng with water will be
found beneficial; mere sprinklings are
worse than useless. BY November the
crop may be stored away, though carrots
are always best when just out of the
ground; but where great quantities are
grown it is necessary to take up the main
crop. In storing, the great object is to
prevent fermentation, which is sure to
take place if they are stored in large
heap; and, almost before it is noticed,
they will be useless. l have them always
built up in thin ridges, with layer of
sand between each layer of carrots, in an
open, draughty shed, where they are
neither likely to be frozen nor to ferment.
hesitate to recommend any preventives
of carrot grub or maggot other than SOW
ing at favorable opportunity as regards
weather, and where the soil is newly dug,
deep tillage, and early thinning, taking
special care to remove these plants which
indicate the presence of the grub by their
yellow leaves at the earliest moment. |
may state, however, that busting with
lime is the only likely remedy for the
louise when it does appear applying it in
the same way as tor slugs A dressing Of
quicklime will also help to keep the grub

The Carrot Crop.

No garden vegetable is more indispensa-
Bile than the carrot, for it is used daily in

cooks only understand; and yet it is one
Of the most difficult to grow successfully,
as most cultiyators know, and simply be-
cause of the numerous enemies which
prey upon 1t from the time the seeds
terminate till the crop is housed The
carrot-louse attacks the young plants al
most rs soon as they appear, often doing
much damage, like the turnip-tly, If
growth is retarded at the beginning. Then
the carrot grub is even more destructive,
boring into the roots, and often running IA
whole crop. in spite of all precautions, as
happened with many plantations last
year. In addition to these pests, the
wireworms, miilipedes and several other
enemies, sometimes do much mischief,

Rheumatism synpsom OF Other Dis

The alarming extent Of chronic rheums.
tism in the country has led to persistent in
vestigation. II has lately been sscertained
that the disease is the result Of other com.
plicated diseases Of the liver, kidneys, pan.
creas, blood, absorbents, etc. In ether
words, that rheumatism is = symptom. 1,
Is also found that, by the removal Of the
complicated disease, the rheumatism disap-
pears, as result which seems TO substantste
the theory. We all know, TO our sorrow,
how fruitless the ordinary treatment o. this
disease has been, and We now hail with joy
the dawn OF this rev discovery. We all
know that the symptoms OF these diseases
are generally present in cases OF chronic
rheumatism, but few have supposed the
disease to be an effect.
To remove these diseases the surest remedy
can be touSd in the SHAKER ExTRACr oP

Characteristics Of the
Berkshire Swine.

The pure bred Berkshire has
fixed characteristics of great val.
ne, a compact form, with the
greatest weight in the useful
parts, and early maturity. But
ii the whole country were to de.
eide that all the good points be-
longed TO this breed, yet it would
be impossible to adopt them for
pure breeding except on a limited
tcale for they are not TO be had.
1t is the same with the Essex,
Suffolk, Yorkshire and others.
The pure breeds are quite too lin
tied to permit their supplanting
all the common swine of the coun-
try. 1t is folly then for the gen.
erAl farmer to expect fancy prices
in breeding pure. His great aim
should be to improve the breed be
has by crossing with the boars of
the pure early maturing breeds,
and thus form pure untilitarian
view. No farmer can afford to
breed from a common boar when
he can get one of better breed for
a reasonable price, and he should
be particular that ne gets a good
animal, as we'll as pure blood
The purity OF she blood does not
make pork any more valuable in
the particular animal, but it
makes the progeny of the crop
much more valuable, in that they
feed better, n allure earlier, pro-
duce ten to twenty per cent. more
meat for given amount Of food.
The only hope Of general improve.
ment in the swine of the country
is from crossing with better blood.
The pure breeds are of the great
est value to the country, and
should be encouraged by all pro-
gressive faI mers.- u eStern Ag-
ricuLturis.

Hiccoughed to Death.

From the Pottsville Miners Journal
DIR. Elton says he was called TO
see a man named Henry Hoskins,
a slate miner, aged AZ years.
Hoskins said that he had gone to
work without breakfast, as be had
not felt well. About S o'clock be
had drank some cold water, aud
the hiccough set in, violently at
first, but subsequently he did not
mind it as much, thinking it
would Soon disappear. /, did not
however, and he then tried sever
al local remedies, such az drink
ing nine swallows of water, pat.
ting a cold piece of slate down his
back, and such like cures. He
became alarmed, for he felt be
was getting weoker every minute.
1t continued with renewed viol
ence, and Hoskins was advised to
go home by the boss. Ills wife
made him hot coffoe, and he tried
to eat breakfast, but his appetite
was entirely gone. He tegan TO
shiver, and the hiccough still con-
tinued as bad as ever. The doc
tor was then sent for. lie at once
administered twenty drops of sal
volatile and fifteen drops of ether
in a wine glass full of camphor
water, but that did not do any
good. The doctor tried to divert
the mans mind from il, but it
was all to no purpose. He then
gave the man thirty drops Of laud
anum, and drove back to his
house to procure other medicine.
Still the hiccough continued, and
IN fifteen minutes after the doctor
left the man was a corpse. Hos
kinsseemedto beperfectly healthy
in every respect. His throat
swelled a great deal before he
died, and he seemed to strangle be-
fore his Suferings were over.
