JmDOrtance of the Dairy Interest.

At the recent annual meeting of the In
ternational Dairy Fair Association, one
speaker claimed that the dairy interest of
the country exceeds the wheat interest in
money value. The corn production of 1879
was worth $500, OOO, O00 but the exhaustion
OF the soil necessary to its production rep
resented not less than 800, 000,0 900, or
twenty per cent. Of the selling value. Wheat
and corn depleted the soil of its natural
wealth. and, Notwithstanding the vastly in
creased acreage devoted to these crops, last
year there was decrease of SIG, 0O0, 900 in
the total market sales. On the other hand,
dairy products not only made up fer the
impoverishment of the soil by corn in 1879,
but added 800, 000,0 600 to its value, Colo
mel Sprague of Vermont, one of the vice
presidents, and president of the American
Agricultural Association, said he had farm
in Vermont of 1l2 acres, which nine years
ago would winter only three and half head
of cattle, on which he now winters sixty
nine head, and his ambition is to winter one
hundred head. Vermont produced more
butter and cheese than all the rest of New
England combined, although it is not dali
ry State. Both the quality and quantity of
production has been so improved thata sim
gle COW has produced 800 pounds of butter
in year, although the average is 1000
pounds per COW per annum, and most COWS
run their owners in debt. gr..f -

Starting EARLY Vegetables.

Window boxes answer nearly all the pur-
poses of a hotbed for garden in which the
number of plants required is small. A
kitchen window is preferable to any other
as the air is usually more moist. Sow seeds
in window boxes, and when the plants are
up, turn the boxes every day, to bring the
opposite side to the light and keep them
from growing to one side. When the seed
lings get two or three rough" leaves. those
beyond the seed leaves, they should be
"pricked out" or planted in other similar
boxes, setting them an inch or more apart,
according to kind. The young plants may
grow in these until time to put them in the
open ground. Set the box out doors in the
middle of every mild day, or open the win
dows, in order to harden the plants. The
kinds usually sown in hotbeds, frames and
window boxes are cabbages, caulihowers
and others of that family; lettuce, tomatoes,
peppers and egg plants; the last two will do
a month later. Cucumbers, melons and
early squashes may be started later, a few
seeds to give plants enough for hill, in a
small box or four inch pot. The roots of
these are large and do not succeed in a
small pot.
