Early Rose potatoes should be planted err
ly. II is not called Early Rose because il
grows on rose bushes, but because IL gets up
at five o'clock in the morning. DO not make
the mistake of peeling these potatoes before
planting. AS for cutting to one or two eyes,
we think they had better have one eye single
to their own happiness. This potato is to be
eaten whole. Mashed potatoes should be
sown broadcast. The string bean is
the best bean for growing on strings. Ono
string will do for ten beans. Some of the
high strung beans need poles. These may be
pulled up and taken on fishing excursions and
be returned with the lines attached. The
best strings for these beans are i strings
The Champion of England peas were
named after Tom Sayers, the great prize
fighter. These peas do not need any pods on
them. We have planted them for many years
without pods on them. One great advantage
of the Champion Of England peas is that they
spar for themselves. You can handle the
Champion Of England without gloves. In &C.
Letting ground for them it is best to have the
sun in their eyes. Peas should never be cat
en- with knife because they roll off. It is
best to pour them into a funnel Oats
should not be planted wild. Still we have
known oats sown wild to produce larger crop
than the tame oats. Many of them are sown
by moonlight and some by gaslight but it is
sometimes worse for the man who raises them
than for the oats themselves. In Scotland
the oats are fed to men and in England to
horses, so that famous Scotchman said that
nowhere could such horses be found in the
world as in England and nowhere such men
as in Scotland. This is the reason why on
tho borders inns are sometimes called oatels.
Do not fail to raise sheep. The
proportion should be three dogs to one sheep.

DIR. j. B. Lawes of Rothamsted, England,
doubts ensilage has superior feeding prop
critics. Speaking of fermentation of green
food, he says;
''At Rothamsted have about 81 COWS in
milk and about 80 head of young stock. Their
main supply of food until next May will con-
sist chiefly of mangels, More than half of
the whole dry matter of these mangsls is SUI
gar, and this sugar is the most valuable of all
the ingredients they contain. Now, if were
to subject these mangels to fermentation in a
pit until the sugar is converted into alcohol
and carbonic acid, should destroy that val
liable element of food which l had been at
such cost to obtain. In the clamps where our
mangels are stored their quality improves
rather than the contrary, aud farmer would
give preference to roots which have been stor
ed up for months. If suoculent food for win
ter is SO valuable in the states, some compar-
ison should be instituted between the relative
advantages of corn and mangels AS regards

STRAWBERRIES AND PorAToEs. -The Lon
don Garden gives the following mode by
which n strawberry bed was planted in con
nection with early potatoes, with success /:
Beds extending across the garden, feet wide,
were planted in spring with Strawberries On
the outer sides of these beds three rows of
early potatoes were planted. The potatoes
were dug about the end of June, the ground
cleared and raked level, where the strawber-
ry runners could establish themselves and
form new row. The next spring, rows of
potatoes were planted, one row farther off or
on the borders of the runners The gardener
thus made travelling strawberry bed, which
became wider each year without planting
The third year, the first plants were exhaust
ed and were dug up, the bed thus moving
slowly sidewise.

The editor of the Lewiston, Me-, Journal
has visited the orchard of Mr.. Alfred Smith
of Monmouth, and gained number of good
ideas on the management of orchards He
says: "He showed us his famous sprouts,
which are now handsome trees and very pro-
ductive. II he finds sprout from q decay
ed tree, he let's IL grow manures it well, and
exhibits the results He knocked all our ar
guments away against sprouts when he got
the premium at the state fair three years ago
on his apples raised from these sprouts. AT
ter all, incline to the belief that liberal ma
nuring is the best kind of theory and prao-
tioe combined to make thrifty trees. But
what interested me more than his sprouts
was his method of grating. If he cut off q
a large limb, he at once stuck in between the
wood and bark number of soions, and let
them grow and heal the wound and make
new branches. If young tree was lacking a
branch to give il q symmetrical shape, he
run the point of his jack-knife in a slanting
direction into the trunk or branch, whitfield
out scion on one side slipped it in and COW
cred it with little wax, and the scion grew
and formed the desired branch. All large
branches were grated in this way. His course
has given an odd appearance to his old trees
but he has succeeded in renewing their tops
His nursery contains several thousand trees
of the most approved varieties, and his adj
vice can certainly be relied on by those who
are in want of now orchard. After all, the
great success of his labors is in liberal ma
nuring. He top-dresses and mulches very
freely, and crops the ground but little. He
secures extra prices, because his fruit is fair
and large from high culture"

Cur AND UNCUT POTATOES. The skin of
the potato is nearly impervious to moisture,
and so long as it remains entire the water is
retained within, and the tuber is long time
in shriveling. As soon as cut, the moisture
escapes rapidly. IT. therefore, tho ground is
dry and cloddy and the time of planting late
it is best to plant the potatoes whole. If cut
pieces are used as seed, it will be foun that
many of them dry up aud fail to grow, and
the crop is broken by vacant spaces. By ear
ly planting in rich and mellow ground, mois-
ture is retained in the cut pieces, and all grow
freely aud the advantages derived from cut
tng-namely, fewer stalks and larger though
fewer potatoes-are secured without difficulty.

The Crcamerr srstem.

The cooperative creamery system is destined
to be the favorite method of butter making in
the future in oil except tho sparsely settled
towns. Creameres are being talked about by
farmers all over New England and quite a
number have been organized within a year.
The benefits of the system to the farmer are
summed up in a telling manner by thrifty
farmer of our acquaintance, who says: 81
keep half dozen cows; my wife makes as
good butter as is made in the Connecticut
valley, and sell it to private customers ct
top prices, Notwithstanding this 1 am going
into the creamery, because it makes so much
less work in the house; 1 can keep two OF
three more COWS, and not work nearly as hard
as do now, and mako more money, make
more manure, improve my farm, and enjoy
life more. Perhaps the creamery won't re-
turn me quite as much money as 1 now get
from my customers, but l shan't have the
bother and worry of making and selling it,
and to be relieved of this 1 consider great
thing. -H0mestedd
