CULTIyATING DANDELIONS.-Most persons
have looked upon the Dandellon as weed to
be got rid of, and rather better than most
weeds, as when cut up by the root in spring it
makes an acceptable accompaniment to the
salt meat The readers of the american AgH-
cultur5st are aware that we have on more than
one occasion advised the cultivation Of the
dandeli0n-not indeed by sowing the common
weed, but an improved kind When one in
PRODUCES a new vegetable into cultivation, he
is public benefactor, SO when one induces
another to cultivate a vegetable new to HIM,
though old to cultivation, he is private bene
factor; by charging his knowledge of the
good things of the world, and inducing him to
try even but one of them, that mans comfort
and enjoyment of life is increased The fact
that the Dandelion is weed, is no argument
against its cultivation; parsnip and carrot are
vastly worse weeds, yet we 90 on cultlvatlng
them. If one Is fond of the DandelOn at all,
he should cultivate it, for two reasons: he can
cut bushel IN less time than he can hunt up
a quart in the fields, and the cultivated is as
much superior to the wild as Savoy is to a
common Drum.head cabbage. In the course
of improving the Dandelion, three useful varie-
ties were established, the Largelcaved, the
Thick. leaved, which have been in cultivation
for several years, and this year the French
journals announce still another, the Very
Double" Ga cpur pieiH). The French use the
Dandelion almost solely as salad it is blanch-
ed by covering the leaves, usually with earth f;
in few days they lose their green color and
nearly all of their bitterness and come out
white, crisp and tender.

DRAINAGE TO lMREAsE THE TEMPERATURE
OF THE SOIlD--Of the great benefit of land
drainage there is hardly IA limit. Pages would
be occupied if should enumerate them The
immediate result, and from which all others
flow, are tie freeing Of tie soil from stognont
irater, and tie iRtroductj0R IF air. StagnaRt
water is an enemy to vegetation, be it found
in the soil of our fields or the saucer of the
flower pot 1t Is the duty OF the farmer, and
of the florist to remove that enemy as soon as
possible by the best means within reach. Such
water not only acts injuriously to the soil posi-
lively, by lowering its temperature, but mega
lively by preventing the free passage of air
and rain Set the water in motion by remOv-
ING 1t from below, and we have beneficial eff
fects, the spaces in the soil become occupied
by the warmer air or rain, carrying with them
salts and acids which help to decompose the
mineral constituents of it. The average year
w rainfall in the United States is about forty.
two inches that of Illinois is near forty-tour.
In some cases, this amount, and even more, is
evaporated from an underdrained field En-
periments show that fifty.siX inches will evap-
crate from Il vessel IN the open air in our eli
mate. In England, with its damp atmosphere,
the evil Is a great one: but | believe that, in
our prairie country, where the wind ana sun
have full play, it will he found to operate in
its fullest extent. 1t is true, all of the heat
taken up through evaporation does not come
from the soil. but enough of its comes from
that source to make great difference in Its tenn
perature. DR. Madden. of England, found that
the soil of drained field, in which most of the
water was removed from below, 6i50 warmer
than a similar soil unGrained. The Gle is
equal to difference of 1000 feet in elevation.
Mr. Parks, the English agricultural engineer,
made simultaneous observations on drained
portion and an unframed portion of field.
The result was, that from mean Of thirty
five observations, during the spring and early
summer, the drained soil, at seven inches depth,
was ZOE warmer than the undrained at the
same depth. The highest temperature OF the
undrained soil was Az, while that Of drained
went up to Sc at ten inches, and As a: thirty
one inches, after thunder storm.-Prof. Shat
tuck, IN Drainage Journal.

Cucumber Culture.

Ny method of culture is to dig good-sized
holes, about four feet apart each way, and
place about peck of well-rotted manure in
them, fill up rather more than level, so that
after the dirt settles it will be about level with
the surrounding soil, and plant eight or ten
seeds in each hill. If very dry give them a
sprinkling each evening after sunset before
they GENE up, as well as through the season,
for they are plant which requires consdera;
BILE moisture Hoe Often and after danger OF
the striped bug is past, thin to four or five
plants to hill. After commencing to bear,
we look them over each alternate day and gath
er for pickles, saving few of the earliest and
most perfect ones for seed, and when these are
ripe, pick them and place in the sun for a few
DAYS; then the seed is taken out, washed clean,
dried, and put up in paper bags for the next
spring. f. III. ID.
