practice Of using green peas IS a
fallow. Sow peas after wheat, ana
if they don't make peas to mature
or if they do, after picking what
0 want for seed, turn your hogs
into the field, and as soon as the
hogs gather the residue, pillow the
vines and sedge under, and 1t
will make a good yield Of corn for
two successive crops. They VIII
undoubtedly do the best while IN

this for three or four years and my

Depth to Plant Corn.

Not n farmer IN a thousand
ever makes experiments on his crop
and records the result. Some one
has planted corn at various depths,
and below recorded the results,
which facts are very useful when a
farmer wishes to hasten his crops:
Reliable information says that
"from actual experiments with
grains taken from the same ear and
the same parts of the same ear, |
have been led to the following re-
suits: Corn planted n inch deep
came up in two days; that planted
one and a half inches deep required
three days; that two inches deep,
three and a half days; two and
three-fourth inches deep, four days;
three inches deep, four and a half
days; four inches deep, six days;
five inches deep, eight days; six
inches deep, ten days; eight inches
deep, seventeen days. The last lot
came up and grew about three
inches high, when it remained sta
tionary a long time, and finally
died"

emo favoring is obtained by

Yeast is made by boiling two
ounces best hops IN four quarts OF
water for one half hour; strain and
cool to warmth of new milk: put
in one half pound Of sugar, one
tablespoonful of salt; beat up one
pound Of best flour with some of
the liquor, and mix all well to-
gether. Let stand for three days,
and on third day add three pounds
mashed and boiled potatoes. On
next day strain and it is ready for
use. This yeast will keep for two
or three months in a moderately
cool place. Only half the quantity
ordinarily used for a baking is
enough. as it is very strong.-D. c.

1t a good time to buy fruit trees
or nursery stock of any kind. 1t
can be purchased of the most rella-
bic growers at prices that would
have seemed astonishingly low a
few years ago. Every farmer should
consider the Importance of IN
c%reasing the value of his farm by
planting a good orchard, small
fruits, &c. The cost of such i'm
provements is not great. and they
add largely to the comforts and
Injuries of farm life.
Good stock, of the best breeds,
can be purchased at very low prices
this spring. This is especially true
of thoroughbred pigs. The low
price of pork products tends to les
SCI the demand for pigs, and breed
ers are willing to accept prices
which would heretofore have been
no temptation. We shall not be
surprised to find young pigs in good
demand within the next year, and
believe that it is a good time now
to buy for the improvement of
stock. AS a general rule, it is a
good time to engage in the produc-
ton OF any crop or class of stock
when it is low. Especially is this
true of products or classes of stock
the demand for which is limited,
or which can soon be produced IN
quantities to stock the market.
We might enumerate, tobacco,
broom-corn, and hops; and the
same is true of pigs, which multi
ply so rapidly that a single season
affords time for stocking the coun-
try.-El.

week. Miss Lizzie Dunn, a young
lady Of ID years, at the house Of
Mrs. Belle Dunn, attempted to
light the fire by pouring Kerosene
oil from a can. The oil took fire,
the can exploded, and the burning
fluid was scattered all over the
young lady. She rushed to the
yard enveloped in flames, and was
badly burned before the fire was
extinguished. She is now in a pre-
carious condition, but Drs. Came
ron and Wilson are doing every
thing for her known to medical
skill. The house was not damaged.

The greatest degree Of success l
have eve had, when using a sha-
ding crop, was three years ago this
spring. 1 sowed orchard grass and
clover among wheat, which had
been thinly sowed for the purpose,
and narrowed thoroughly. | har-
vested about eighteen bushels of
wheat per acre, and was rewarded
with only a fair stand Of grass. 1t
has thickened up some, and makes
good pasture.
| ask no one to adopt my theory
unless it will sustain itself. Test
it fully and fairly, brother farmers,
and | think you will abandon the
shading crop, and SOW your grass
seed alone, as you do your wheat.
| would recommend as follows:
In all cases let the ground be made
clean. Plow deeply, p~ulverize thor
oughly, and level the surface with
drag or harrow before sowing. Sow
timothy IN the fall, from August
25th to September 10Th, IN the lat
itude of ST. Louis. FATHER South,
a little later. 1t will grow equally
well. perhaps, if sown in the spring,
but spring sowing loses one crop
on the land, while fall sowing does
not. Plow from ten days to two
weeks before sowing, and if the
rains do not settle the ground use
the roller. Sow from three and a
half to four quarts per acre with
the grain drill, putting down deep
ly through the hoes, or six quarts
broadcast, putting down with a
heavy harrow. Roll in the spring.
Sow orchard grass for hay in the
fall, same as timothy, excepting
that 1t must be broadcasted-twen-
ty to thirty pounds per acre For
pasture SOW IN the spring, same
quantity of seed if sowed alone, or
sixteen to twenty pounds with clio
yer. Sow Immediately after pillow
ing and leyellng-last of March or
first OF April. Harrow thoroughly
both ways. Glover the same, ex-
ceptlng that one narrowing is
enough. 1t requires a little more
heat to terminate, and its rootlets
are stronger to push their way
down to moisture. AS soon as the
weeds begin to hide the young
grass, NOV them off, and let in the
sunshine and air. If they get the
start the second time, which is not
] likely, NOV them off again.
