planning n Dead Nan.

A few days since one of our esteemed citizens,
whose garden comes TO within few feet of the
Boston and Maine cut, was surprised to see nalf
a dozen men solemnly digging long, deep hole
in his parsnip bed
lie rushed ont Of the house, and asked them
what they were doing, and what they meant by
digging up his garden.
"Plantng dead man."
"Planting a dead man I'd like to know
what right you have to bury yonr dead men in
my garden"
Don't know anything about it, replied the
man. "The boss told us TO plant this dead man
here, and We are going to do H."
''Where is your boss ~ asked our friend.
''0yer there" said one of them, pointing to
man standing some distance of and to him our
friend goes, aud asks him hy what authority he
uses his garden for burying ground, instead of
the places provided by the city.
For moment the "boss" looked sppremely
tonished, but he soon took in the situation, and
informed our irate friend that planting dead
man" was only y technical phrase for imbetdI ne
q long piece of wood in the ground, to which th e
guys of derricks are attached.-Fortiaad Argus.

June Buaded peach Tres..

The saving of one year In the propagation Of
peach trees having attfatted the attention of
nurserymen, was induced to give june budding
n trial. My first experiment upon two Thousand
proved very disastrous. The seeds were planted
on extra hemp ground-a Kentucky term for the
best of land-and were worked the first week in
june, the stocks then averaging about the thick
ness of lead pencil. After the buds had united
we'll, they were headed in the usual manner.
Visions of nice, smooth, live stock, that would
compare fayorably with Eastern trees, hoated
pleasantly through my mind at this time. The
stocks when headed were making an exnberant
growth, aud their total defoliation killed the
entire lot outright.
Nv secod experiment., last season, varied IN
detail from the FIRST ia the manner OF heading.
The tons instead Of being entirely removed were
broken about an inch above the bud until suf-
Gent foliage bad been formed below the fracture
TO obviate the preceding loss. The buds broke
very uniformly, and when six inches high the
tops were entirely removed, and as soon as deem
ed prudent spronted. The growth was not very
satisfactory, and the foliage presented decidedly
q "dyspeptic" appearance. At digging time 1
was Impressed with the idea that my June bud
ded stock would be very much more ornamental
on the "briish pile" than in the pack trenches,
and Crubbing- hoe in hand proceeded to its exc
cution The best trees attained height OF four
feet. and in all but smoothness would have ans
wered as q supper: TO the languid steps OF that
fashionable young man about town."
Peach trees here, raised in the ordinary way,
generally attain diameter Of three-fonrths Of
an inch or over foot above the bud, amt are
six to eight feet high. The average planter Sin

CuItiyatins Dandelion.

Most persons have looked upon the Dandelion
as a weed to be got rid of, aud rather better
than most weeds, as when cut up by the roots
in spring il makes an acceptable accompaniment
TO the salt meat. The readers of the 1mericda
Agricutturist are aware that We have on more
than one occasion advised the cultivation OF the
dandelion-uot indeed by sowing the common
weed but an improved kind, When one intro
,lnces new vegetable into cultivation, he Is
public benefactor, when one induces another
to cultivate a vegetable new to him, though old
TO cultivation, he is private benetactor; by
enlarging his knowledge of the good things OF
the world, and inducing him to try even hnt
one of them. that mans comfort and enjoyment
of life is increased. The fact that the Dande-
lion is q weed is no argument against Its Guilt
walton; parsnip and carrot are vastly worse
weeds, yet we 20 on cultivating them II one
is fond Of the Dandelion at all, he should cnlti-
yate it, for two reasons; he can cut bushel IN
less time than he can hunt up quart IN the
fields, and the cultivated is as much superior TO
the wild as a Savoy is to a common Drum-head
cabbage In the course of improving the Dan
deIion three useful varieties were established,
the Large-leaved, the Thick-leayed, and the
Curled-leaved, which have been in cultivation
for several years. and this year the French jour-
nails announce still another, the Very Double
Ia caHr pleiH) The French use the Dandelion
almost solely as a salad; it is blanched by cover
ing the leaves, usually with earth; in a few days
they lose their green color and nearly all OF their
bitterness, and come out white, crisp and tender

Cucumber Pickles.

Picking cucumbers are raised in considerable
quantities among those farmers who live Mt o
distance of ten miles or more from large mar
ket, as they do not require very heavy manur-
ing, and are light and easy to transport to mar
ket. They are generally raised as SECOND crop
after early peas or beans, are frequently plan
ted on freshly turned sod just after cutting the
grass for hay. The land is prepared by good
blowing, narrowing and rolling, after which the
rows are marked out with the small pillow four
feet apart, and the manure placed in the hill and
covered with hoe; the seeds are dropped by
hand, six or eight in hill, covered an inch deep
with the hoe, aud well patted down, as the
weather Is likely TO be hot and dry at the time
of planting, and unless well covered the seed
will fail to terminate. IN
The best time to put in seed, is from June ~
to July 10. The earlier planted ones will hegin
to bear early in August, the latter ones about
September l.
they are thinned to four in bill when hoeing
Burs do not trouble them much when planted
that late and usually one application OF plaster
will suffice 10 keep them of.
Flat turnip seed is sometimes sown III the
pickle field about August 1, and raked in between
The hills After the frost has killed the cucum.
Der vines, the turnips have time to make good
growth and will often give fair crop.
The variety of seed used for pickles IS know
as the picking cucumber; it resembles the clus-
ter, is very productive, but does not grow large

difficulty Of wetting the skins Of the pests. Oc-

THE ENEMY OF THE STRAwBERRY.-The
White Grub, the larva of the "June or May or

where, often makes sad work with Strawberries.
Working underground, its presence is no known

plant is found to wilt, take it up; its roots will
lie found to be eaten of, and it is past remedy.
Search for the grub, and find it before it goes to
another plant. They generally follow the row.

in New Hampshire lives an eccentric old farmer
named Greeley-an own cousin of the lamented
