Early SewiSg OF Oats.
Germantown Dispatch.

In few things have the advantages
OF an underdrained soil shown to bet
ter effect than In oats-growing. Light
soils are not favorable to oats, and yet
IL Is the light soils which are the
early ones. On the other hand oats
require moderately low tempera-
ture of ut least two months to perfect
its xoJt-organization. 1t ought TO be
one Of the earliest crops sown in
spring, but our strong soils on which
IL does best are often wet soils, and
very unfavorable to early sowing.
Those who hove strong soils, and yet
tolerably dry, have the very best of
oats-lands I; and those who have not
must watch every chance to get in the
seed carly, II they would have the
best results.

Pres. Down the Earth.

II garden seeds, when planted in
the spring, are firmly pressed when
under the earth, by the ball Of the
foot. at the time the gardeners are
putting them into the ground, they
win invariably grow, drouth or no
drouth ard what Is still more imp0r-
tant, they will spring up earlier and
grow faster and mature better than
any Of their kind which have not
been subjected this discipline. THIS
same rule Of pressure holds good IN
regard to transplanting trees, shruts
and plants.

A Profitable Crsp.

Mr.. s. &. Harrel, Of Hamilton coun-
ty, Ind, sold % bushels Of Yellow
Danvers onion sets for $50. He raised
AZ bushels Of sets on one-eigth Of an
acre, ana can get 50 bushel for his
,ntire crop. At this rate an acre
under the same cultivation would
have brought him over 81 800. Onion
sets are unusually high this year, but
they seldom fail 10 bring 81 per bushel,
and at this rate the same yield would
sell for over 81 800. Estimating lie
cost Of seed, cultivation, gathering,
marketing, rent Of land, etc, at the
liberal sum Of 500. we have 81 900
len rs the clear profit on an acre Of
onion scfs. This seems fabulous but
Mr.. Harrell says Il can be done. Mr..
III. says be also raised onions at the
rate Of 600 bushels TO the acre last
year. As these seldom sell at less
than 81 per bushel, the crop pays well
for the labor expended upon It,

CIIURN SLOWLY.

A little maid in the morning sun
Stood merrily singing and churning;
80 how wish this butter was done,
Then OFF to the field I'd be turning ~
So she hurried the dasher up and down.
Till the farmer called with half-made
frown,
"Churn slowly ~
..Don't ply the dasher so fast, my dear,
It's not SO good for the butter,
And will make your arms ache, too fear,
And put you all in Il flutter;
For this is rule wherever we turn,
Don't be i'm haste whenever you churn,
Churn slowly"
" If you see your butter come nice and
sweet,
Don't churn with nervous jerking,
But ply the dasher slowly and neat,
You'll hardly know that you're working ;
And when the butter has come you'll say :
Yes, this is surely the very best way:
Churn slowly"
Now, little folks, do you think that you
A lesson can find in butter!
Don't be in haste whatever you do,
Or get yourself in Il tlutter;
Aud while you stand at life's great churn.
Let the farmers words to you return I:

The Mysteries Of Shoes md Stocking.

Throwing the shoes after the
wooded pair was, also, no doubt, in.
tended rs AN augury OF long life 10
the bride. In Yorkshire tho cerc-
mony OF shoe throwing is termed
thnshing," and tho older the
shoe the greater tho luck; snd in
some parts Of Kent The mode OF
procedure is somewhat peculiar.
after the departure Of tho bride and
bridegroom, the Single ladies are
brought up in one low, aud the
bachelors in another. When thu.
arranged, an old shoe is thrown rs
far as possible, which the fair sex
run for, the winner being consider
cd to have the best chances OF mar.
riage. She then throws the shoe
at the gentlemen, when The first
who gets il is believed 10 have the
Same chances OF matrimony. A
somewhat similar ceremony pre-.
walls in Germany, where tho brides
shoe Is thrown among the guests OF
ths wedding. the person who sue.
cccds in catching il being supposed
t" have every prospect oi II speedy
marriage.
Many augurlrs arc still gathered
from The shoe. Thus, young girls
on going to he'd Vt night place their
shoes ut right angles TO one another
IN the form Of the letter y, repeat
ing this rhyme:
Hoping This night my true love to see,
place my shoes In the form OF Il.
As in the case or the stocking,
great importance is attached by
many supcrsiitions persons Us TO
which shoe they put on first, IN
allusion 10 which, Butler in his
" TIulibras," s.ys:
Augustus having b. oversight
Put on his left shoe fore the right,
Had like TO have been slai1 that day
BY soldiers mutinying for pay.
An old writer, speaking Of Jew.

'hoe first, without tying IL. Then
afterwards 10 pu, on the left shoe,
md so return 10 the right; 80 that
hey may begin and end with tho
light one, which they account to be

ioggerel respecting the wear OF
hoes" teaches us the following:
Tip at the toe live to see woe;
Wear at the side live 10 be bride;
Wear at the ball hive 10 spend all;

Cork.

This is the outer bark of tree called
the cork oak, and is found in Spain,
France, Portugal, and Italy. When the
the tree is four or FIVE years old the
outer bark grows very rapidly, and at
the same time new one is forming in
side so when the outside drops off from
age, or is cut off, a covering still remains.
The cutting should be done when the
outer growth is no longer needed for pro-
lection; but lately, owing to the greed
of growers, this has been done too early
and whole plantations are dying out.
England alone imports 10000 tons oil
cork annually. France has begun to cul-
tivate the tree in Algeria, hoping to re-
alize large profits therefrom. The climate
of the West Indies and Central America
is well adapted to its growth, and cork
growing may become branch of indus
try there, if the supply fails from the old
sources. Many substitutes, such as plugs
of wood softened for the purpose and
Ida rubber are used but are not as salts
factory as the cork.
