Hints that May Soon be Timely.

If flowers have been standing in the ground
for many years, new soil does wonders Rich
manure makes plants grow, but they do not
always flower well with vigorous growth
If new soil cannot be had, a wheelbarrow of
manure to about every fifty square feet will
be enough. If the garden earth looks gray
or yellow, rotten leaves-qute rotten leaves
will improve it. If heavy, add sand. If
very sandy, add salt-about a half pint to
fifty square feet livery black or rich from
previous years manuring, use little lime,
about pint, slackened, to fifty square feet.
If the garden be full of hardy perennial
flowers, do not dig it, but Use a fork and That
not deeply. Dig garden ground only when
the soil is warm and dry. Do not he in a
hurry, or you may get behind. Whena clod
of earth will crush to powder ms you tread on
it, it is time to dig-not before. If perennial
plants have stood three years in one place
separate the stools, replanting one third, and
give the balance to your neighbor who has
none.

Early Potatoes.

Besides commanding a high price, there
are other considerations that come in to make
the early crop of potatoes valuable. The
early rose continues to be as good rs the best,
not only for the early but the late crop and
always fetch II rcmunerative price in the mar
ket. But there is this additional advantage
in the early crop d; it can be harvested and re-
moved and the ground put in good order for
fall crops. The best turnips we have ever
known came out of piece of ground first
cleared of early potatoes. Indeed, we do not
know of more profitable arrangement of
crops than to have turnps follow potatoes.
The ground usually has to be pretty good for
potatoes, but it is not essential that the ma
nure he very much decay cd Some, indeed,
contend that long srawy manure is all the
better for potato crop. The turnips, on the
other hand, must have the manure very well
decayed, in order to give its best results
Hence after the potato has done with its
fertilizer, there is enough left for the turnip
to thrive upon. Wheat and rye also thrive
very well on land which has been previously
well manfred for potatoes In all these
cases the early potato has great advantage
over the late one. They allow of n much
earlier preparation ofthe ground for the sub
sequcnt crop
There is still another advantage in an car
ly potato. In this part of the country at
least, the plant is subject to the attacks of
the stem borcr. They usually commence
their ravages about the end of June They
bore out the whole entire pith of the stems,
and before the end Of July the plants are all
dead, being dried up before the potato is ma
tured. In such cases there is not often fifty
bushels of potatoes to the acre, and of these
half of them are too small to be salcable. BY
getting the potato early in the ground, and
using varieties which mature early, the tn.
bers are of pretty good size before the insects
get to work, and thus there is great gain.
1t seems to us we can almost do without any
more late kinds. We say nothing here of
the dcprcdations of the beetle ms it has been
