The squash vine is bcsct with enemies from
the time it begins to grow till fully grown,
but much worse in some localities and seasons
than in others. Where the squash can be
grown, and escapes insect enemies. it proves
one of the most profitable farm or garden
products. 1t requires IL congcnial soil we'll
fertilized; good seed, and careful culture.
If we would transfer garden culture to the
field, the culture of the squash would not be
matter of doubt. The squash being a ten
der plant, should never be planted Gin the
field, at least) until late spring frosts past.
new soil, light sward or clover sod, is the
better one for squashes if inclined to Il sand
all the better. On such soil the hills should
be made six to eight feet apart and heavily

post, so that early, rapid growth may cnsue,
to eyade the insect enemies which often are
so troublesome at this stage. To guard against
insects it is best to seed freely, and thin the
plants as necessary after they have grown a
few inches. Cover the seeds with light soil,
not easily conpacted half an inch deep, af-
ter pressing with the hoe have never had
any difficulty with seeds not coming up when
they were planted on fresh soil over the ma
nure but l have heard of cases where seed
has failed to come, but am inclined to be-
lieve that the trouble arose from other causes
If there is doubt of the seed leaves pushing
through the soil, the seeds may be stuck edge
down, and lighter covering of soil put loose
ly over them.
Use diligence in encouraging oarly and rap
id growth, which is easily accomplished
where the weather is warm, the soil is mel
low and in good filth, and the hills well filed
with well-fined hog manure compost. In gar
den culture it is easy to protect from the
striped-bug by some simple device placed
over the hills and plants. l have used old
cheese boxes, both heads knocked out, and
mosquito netting fastened over the top, and
these placed over the hills till the plants filed

HOUSEKEEPING MADE EAsY.--A couple may
now set up for themselves with very few
utensils. scarcely any provisions, and next to
no knowledge of cookery. A gas or oil stove
takes the place of costly and cumbrous
cooking range Coffee is bought not only
parched but ground Spices and pepper
come all prepared for use. Every kind Of
bread, cake, and pastry can be purchased at
a slight advance on the cost of the materials
they contain. If one wishes the sport of
making them, sef-raising flour may be had
in any grocery. Fruit of all kinds, all ready
for the table, can be purchased about as
cheaply as that which must be prepared Not
only Holsters and other sholl-fsh. but salmon
may be bought and cooked and ready to be
served Mt price but little above what the
crude articles cost and cooked corned beef,
tongue, pigs feet, and ham have long been
ON the market
! There are also canned soups, that only
need to be diluted mince meat all ready to
| put between pie-crusts, and roast meats and
! fowls of all descriptions. Some grocers keep
mush prepared for frying. Boston baked
beans, put up in cans have had a great run
in the past few years. English plum pud-
| dings are also on the market. Last summer
witnessed the advent of fried potatoes MS an
article of commerce And now comes the re-
| port that chartered company has been en-

market.
1t is no longer necessary to be a cook in
order to keep house. 1t requires scarcely
any cooking utensils to provide a warm meal.

are the principal requisites. Even the last is
not absolutely necessary, since mixture of
| prepared coffee, sugar, and cream may readi-

THE VERMONT PHGNIX BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY,
Farming Looking Up.

Never since our recollection have we known
so many men of other occupations turning
towards the farm rs n means of getting liv-
ing rs at the present time, nor has agricultural
labor for many years been as popular among
all classes in New Englandas now. OF course
there are more or less who are dissatisfied
every where, but even among farmers who
have the reputation of being cOniirmt Il grum-
blers, the feeling is decidedly more cheerful
than during the period Of inflated prices.
One would hardly have believed, ten years
ago, that the sons of our city merchants
would, in few years, b. found preparing
themselves for farmers, but such is the fact to
greater extent, perhaps, than many may
suppose Some Of the most promising boys
now ut our agricultural coli, g,s are the SONS
of wealthy city merchants

Roof CULTURE is one of the most prom.
Using innovations in our whole farm practice.
No other product, from an acre of ground,
will support 50 much live stock, produce so
much meat, milk, mutton, wool, pork, lard
or manure, as a well-grown root crop, and of
all root crops the sugar beet is the most nu-
tritious. Sugar is by no means to be ignored
as nutrment, although n writer in leading
agricultural journal recently, intimates that
the 10 or II pr cent of sugar in these roots
may be dispensed with in estimating their
value. 1t is in this respect that sugar beets
have an advantage over the more productive
mangles, and the lighter crop of the former
thus balances in great measure the heavier
yield of the latter. The sweetest beet, the
French or Silssiau sugar beet, is of small size
or, at least, so desired by the sugar manufac-
turers and if the crop is grown for sugar
these varieties, or one of them, is chosen
But if bo cts are not to be grown for sugar.
they should by all means be grown for stock
feed and this is precisely where the analogy
heretofore referred to, appears If roots for
stock whether boets or mangcls are grown
10y reason of the present interest in sugar
beets the mythical pot of gold will be found
although in an unexpected way. The moral
of this is, grow beets"-for sugar if you will,
but if not, grow beets or even other roots,
and their sweet influences cannot fail to be
appreciated by the live stock, greatly to the
farmers profit Noc Yorker

The continued and intensified interest
which is mauif sted in the New England
States in regard to the corn crop, is encour-
aging It is impossible that the revival in in
terest, as to this agricultural product, should
terminate with it. 1t is now conceded that
corn may be grown proftably, and that for
some farmers it will pay to purchase, and for
all it will pay to make the so-called CONNER
cial fertilizers. The saving of the stalks for
fodder is now carried on with as much atten-
ton as is the getting in of the hay crop. Cut
carly and properly cared for, the value of this
stover is undoubted. Again, the corn grown
in New England is greater in intrinsic value
than the Western corn; while for family use
it is of Importance to have the grain clean.
The testimony of those who have experiment
ed most carefully with fertilizers is, that they
operate most benefcially on light soil, which
is just that of the larger part of Rhode Island.
But the general idea to be impressed upon
the owners of farms is, that their land can be
improved in value, the products varied, the
income enhanced by judicious cultivation
To change the current of IDEAS to stimulate
a love for, and confidence in, agriculture /;
to prove that the rundown farms can be re
cuperated proftably; that this can be- done
is beyond question. A general action upon
this conviction would add to the wealth and
enhance the rural beauty of New England in

SEED SowING. Amateur gardeners are apt
to SOW the seed of flowers too deep They
terminate, but not having strength sufficient
to pierce the soil they decay. "On light,
warm land" says recent writer, where
every seed will grow, fewer seeds should be
sown than on damp, heavy land, where, per-
hAps, in a cold unfayorable season, insect en-
emies may be troublesome. No matter how
good the seeds may be, some will produce bet
ter and stronger plants than others, and there
should be sufficient plants on the ground to
allow of choice being made, so that the
crop, when thinned, may consist of selected
plants only" A good method of sowing seeds
of ANIMALS is to prepare the ground carefully
and then place the seed on the top, covering
them with earth TO the depth of an eighth of
an inch. After pressing slightly, place bit
of cotton cloth over the seed bed, and keep
the cloth damp by watering it morning aud
night. In a week the seed will sprout, when
the cloth may be removed. The young plants
should be protected for few days from the
seorching heat of the afternoon sun.

70 REVIVE YoUNG TREES. -When young
trees have been out of the ground few days,
either in transit from the nursery or other
wise, and not properly cared for, the bark be-
comes shrunken, and although the roots may
be in tolerahly good condition, there is great
danger that the tree may die after it is plant
ed. Especially is this the case with peach
trees. This may be prevented by burying the
whole tree few days. TO do this, dig
trench as wide as the tree is high, and about
inches deep at one side and IL inches deep
at the other, and long enough to hold all the
trees TO be buried when laid in the trench five
or six trees on the top of one another. Lay
the trees in the trench with the roots at the
deep side of it, laying them straight and
packing them close together, but do not pile
them up above the level of the ground Now
cover the trees, tops and roots, - to ! . inch
es with earth. If the ground is very dry, a
few buckets of water should be slowly sprin-
kled over the earth after the trees are buried
In four or five days they must be taken out
and trnnsplanted Immediately, being careful
to cut back the tops. | have known trees
thus buried when taken from the pit to look
rs fresh as when dug at the nursery, and
with proper care, never knew one of them to
die. -C0r. COUHtry GeHtlemdR.
