FOR THE FARMERS HOUSEHOLD.

Press the Earth Closely Upon Seed.
An eminent agriculturist gives his ex-
perience in regard to seed.planting
thus
On July I'd OF 1874, as an experiment,
l sowed twelve row Of sweet corn and
twelve rows Of beets, treading in after
sowing every alternate row Of each. In
both cases, those trod in came up in
four days, while those unirmed re-
NAMED twelve days before starting, and
would not then have terminated had
rain not fallen, for the soil was as dry
as dust when planted.
The result was that the seeds that
had been trodden in grew freely from
the start and matured their crops to a
marketable condition by fall, while the
rows unfrmed did not mature, as they
were not only eight days later in ger
minating, but the plaLts were also to
some extent enfeebled by being parti-
ally dried in the loose dried soil.
This experiment was a useful one, for
it proved that q corn crop grown in the
vicinity Of New York as late as July I'd
could be made to produce roasting
ears in October, when they never fail
to sell freely at high rates, but the crop
would not mature unless the seed ger
minated of once, and which would never
be certain, at that dry and hot season,
unless by this method.
The same season, in August, / treated
seeds Of turnips and spinach in the same
way. Those trod in terminated at once
and made an excellent crop, while those
unfirmed terminated feebly and were
eventually nearly all burned out by a
continuance Of dry, hot air penetrating
through the loose soil to the tender root.
let's.
or course this rule of treading in OF
Grming seeds after sowing must not be
blindly followed. Very early in spring
or late in fall, when the soil is damp and
no danger from heated dry air, there
is no necessity to do SO, or aver at other
season the soil may be in a suitable
condition to COW, and yet be too ampd
to be trodden upon or rolled. In such
cases these operations may not be neces-
sary at all, for if rainy weather ensue,
the seeds will terminate of course; but
if there is any likelihood OF continued
drought the treading or rolling may be
done a week or so after sowing, if it is
at such q season as there is reason to be.
lieve that it may suffer from the cry,
hot air.
Now, if irming the soil around seed
to protect it from the influence Of a dry
and hot atmosphere is a necessity, it is
obvious that it is even more SO in the
case Of plants whose r~ootlets are ever
more sensitive to such influence than
the dormant seed.

Cnre Of Young Turkeys.

A farmers wife complains of want OF
success with young turkeys. They seem
strong the first week, when the middle
toe begins to draw around like a fish
hook, and in a few days the other toes
turn the same way; they lose all use of
their feet and die in a few days. Others
seem well in the morning when let out,
but sicken and die before night. This
is cramps or rheumatism. The trouble
is brought on by dampness and cold.
These two conditions are furnished by
wet grass and damp ground. The chicks
must be kept in proper places, where it
is dry and warm, for the first week OF
their lives; after this they may be al
lowed to go abroad with their dam in
dry warm weather, but they should not
be let out until the grass is dry in the
mornings, until they are a few weeks
old, after which they are out of danger
from cramps. Young turkeys are quite
tender at first, and need nice care and at.
tention. The best feed for them for
the first week is scalded corr and meal
crumbs. 1t must not be wet and sticky,
but of a crumbly consistence. Ourd is
good food for young turks, and after
they are a week old they may have as
much of it as they will eat three times q
day. Cracked or broken corn may be
mixed with the curd or fed separately.
Good wheat screenings or sound wheat,
or buckwheat or barley, are a good and
proper food for young chicks of any
kind. In cool, damp weather a few
drops Of tincture of aconite root, and the
same Of tincture of iron may be added
to the water with which the food is
mixa6.

Petty Thieving.

On Wednesday afternoon Squire

some miscreant had gone through his
vest, which was hanging up, and taken

self could not have painted the look OF
surprise, wrath and indignation which
overspread like cloud over the morn

At the same time Constable -. Ny

gold coins in a pocket, and the thief
evidently remembered this. But they

of Gus Rolls saloon and stole coat and

the other side of partition, writing, and

The reading public has scarcely for.
gotten the robbery OF the Cathedral,
which occurred on Sunday, May 18th.
The thieves, well prepared with tools
and other paraphernalia OF their probes
sion, had entered anorth window OF the
Cathedral and commenced operations
upon a safe in the Sacristy. Some for
tunate firing scared them off before
their work was completed, but in their
flight they took away seven candlestlcks
from the altar. These were silver plated
and the thieves supposed thew were
the solid, genuine article.
Since that time Sheriff Tingle has had
his detectives at work and succeeded in
discovering the guilty parties. One of
these is "Curly Jack, I" now in Jail await

all. Some children playing upon the

can be kept up, foreign gangs will soon
