VERY careful e1pe riments made IN
New York last season show that the flal
culture of potatoes IrodUces the finest
tuters and the largest yields. The best
results followed the Dutch method OF
planting, which consists of keeping the
surface of the ground level, planting a
single eye in a place, covering it SIX
IL ches oeep and allowing but a single
stalk to grow in hill, which are foot
apart each way.

WHEN flowers have been carried a
lons distance in close boxes or cases
they often appear withered and worth
less, but with proper treatment they
may be revived and restored to their
original beauty. Instead of being at
once put INTO vases and exposed to the
hot. dry air of the parlor. they should
either be spread out n damp flannel or
moss, and covered with q dish-cove or
inverted box, or put in pans containing
moss and water or damp sand, in which
they can be set oprgh aud then shut
up III the dnk tor q few hours. Ii
they do not regain their freshness un
der tins nursing, there is no hope Tor
them; but in all ordinary cases their
recovery ls certain.

The first few years If the life OF an
apple tree is the most important period
fcr exercising care and dingeuce in re-
gard to pruning. A well-known pomo-
logist once said that he could grow q
model apple orchard and never prune
with any other implement than a jack
knife. He would begin with the tree
as soon as it was taken from the nurse
~, and would at once begin to form
the future top. Then is tie time to
avoid crotches, winch will be almost
sure to split in after years, ana TO begin
at the top at the right height and in
the proper shape. One is apt to begin
at the top foo low; it looks higher on a
small tree than on large one. It may
not be desIr ible fer the general grower
to undertake to do all his pruning by
means of knife, but ne can always use
II to good advantage. Excessive prun-
ing of large trees should always be
avoided.
