Keep The Soil Occupied.

The success Of the market-gardener
depends, in great measure, upon
keeping the soil constantly occupied.
No portion is allowed to be idle, but as
soon as one crop is off, another occupies
its place. The owner of a family gar
den will find it to his advantage to fol-
low the example of those who raise
vegetables for market. The methods
which are profitable for those who
raise vegetables for sale, may be fol-
lowed by those who dispose of their
products on the familytabIe. In the
Monthly Notes about Work, we point
out various crops that may be sown,
and VIC would now enforce the point,
that every foot of the soil in the home
garden should be occupied and pro-
ductlve. The soil will produce some
thing; if not useful crop, crop Of
weeds, and it is as much labor to keep
weeds in subsection as it is to cultivate
growing crop. The old-fashioned
way of making garden" in spring and
sowing everything at once, and for all,
is wasteful. Peas, early potatoes, early
cabbages, and others have been re-
moved by this time, and their places
should at once be filled by something,
Such vegetables as remain in perfec-
ton but few days, of which sweet
corn is marked example, may be en-
joYed for long time by sowing every
week, and the sowing may be done
this month with cucumbers, kohl-rabi,
spinach, radishes, and turnips, (es-
peciallY the White French are among
the vegetables which may proftably
follow the early crops that have been
removed. If there are late cabbage
plants in reserve, set them in every
cleared place; they will yield a good
supply Of useful food for the COW if not
needed for any other use.-American
Agriculturist for July.

THE TWO GLASSES.

There sat two glasses filled to the brim,
On rich mans table, rim to rim,
One was ruddy and red as blood,
One was clear as the christal flood.
Said the glass of wine to the pale brother:
"Let us tell the tales of the past to each

mirth,
And the proudest and grandest souls on
earth
Fell under my touch as though struck by
blight,
Where was king, for ruled in might.
From the heads Of kings | have torn the
crown,
FROM the heights of fame have hurled
men down;
| have blasted many an honored name;
| have taken virtue and given shame;
have tempted the youth with sip, taste,
That has made his future barre waste.
Far greater than king am I,
Or than any army beneath the sky.
| have made the arm of the driver fail,
And sent the train from the iron rail
| have made good ships go down at sea,
And the shrieks of the lost were sweet to me;
For they said, Behold how great you be-
Fame, strength, wealth, genius before you
fall,
For your might and power are over ALL
Hol no pale brother" laughed the wine,
"Can you boast of deeds as great as mine?
Said the water glass, al cannot boast
! OF king dethroned or n murdered host;
But can tell of heart once sad
By my crystal drops made light and glad.
OF thirst Pve quenched, of brows I've laved
OF hands have cooled and souls | have

Slept in the sunshine and dropped from the

And everywhere gaddened the landscape

To Prevent the Potato Rot.

A correspondent eff the Boston Jour
nal has the following somewhat elabor-
ate suggestion to offer as to the plant
ing of potatoes so as to escape the rot:
Have the rows run east-northeast or
west-southwest, so as to receive the 10
o'clock sun at right angles to the row.
First plant on the south side one or
two rows of King Philip or sweet corn
and yellow-eyed beans, and put three
or four beans to each kernel of corn.
Put the corn and beans in drills not
more than ten inches apart, then a
row of potatoes, and so on alternately.
If you plant two rows of corn plant
two rows of potatoes. The potatoes
are to be planted in drills not more
than ten or twelve inches apart. If
the last row comes out corn on the
north, two rows of potatoes may be
planted instead. IF the land is strong
and well manured, the rows need not
be more than 2 feet inches from cen
ter to center. Put in a good handful
of ashes and plaster to every three feet
of the row, and add ashes and plaster
to each hoeing and keep free from
weeds. ] have used the above method
for three seasons and had good crop
each season. Not one out of "a feet
of the ground was rotten. From one
row dug five pecks of sound potatoes.
These directions call very well, but
we think the writer has mixed in q
few non.essentials, such as his corn and
beans, and his east-northeast rows; that
leaves nothing but the ashes and plas
ter, which are all right enough. We
have seen whole fields of potatoes en-.
tirely free from rot, where there wasn'
a row of King Philip corn, or any
other corn, or yellow.eyed bean, Oh
any other bean, within halfa mile, ant
where the rows run any way that wa
most convenient. All this kind O.
thing is quackery, pure and simple
That potatoes have happened to dc
well when planted in alternate row
with corn and beans, does not in tn,
least prove that the corn and beans
had any thing to do with it that is tt
say, that it is simply nonsense to as
sumo that corn and beans are caus,
or cure for potato rot. New England

Corn should now be cultivated as
rapidly as 1t can be done. 1t ought to
be plowed once week If possible.
Plow shallow--not more than two
inches deep. If the plow now runs
close to the corn, and deep, it cuts off
the corn roots and does much damage.
To run round it thus, would nearly
kill it and stint it SO much that the
amount of corn produced would be
greatly lessened. All that ought now
to be desired is to stir the top of the
ground lightly, and kill weeds and
grass. If The surface crust can be
lightly broken, and weeds and grass
killed it is sufficient.
1t will perhaps be said, 81 thought
you were in favor of deep plowing ?"
So we are most emphatically; but
deep blowing should be done before
planting, and near the young corn be-
fore the roots have run much. When
ever they have run much the lighter
the plowing the better. This is not
theory. Prior to the war the truth of
our position was manifested by a series
of experiments. Two acres of the
same fertility were plowed before plant
ing and manured exactly alike. One
acre was cultivated with the plow in
the ordinary manner. The other after
planting was cultivated with the hoe.
The crust was merely broken with the
hoe and the weeds killed. The acre
cultivated with the hoe made smartly
the most corn. The roots were not
disturbed and the corn grew with the
greatest vigor.
Reason and observation teach us
that when corn roots begin to run the
lightest cultivation is best. Corn is moi
yet laid by; if it is, it ought not to be-
If it can be plowed five times the yield
will be greater; and one or two light
burrows for the last plowing would be
better. Corn thus treated will be
heavier and the measure larger, and
corn land well cultivated is less injured
as we may demonstrate in future ar
ticle. E. l.. GARDENHIRE.

Florida.
To the Standard

To the Standard.
One of the greatest impediments in
Florida'S way is the apparent poverty
of her soil. But the poorest pine lands
in Middle and South Florida will pro-
duce semi,tropical fruits, the best bust
ness in Florida. The soil is generally
classed first, second and third-rate pine
lands, and high and low hammock and
swamp lands. The pine lands cover
much the greater portion of the State.
First-class pine land is unlike the pine
land in any other State. Its surface is
covered for several inches with dark
vegetable mold, beneath which is a
sand loan of chocolate color extend
ing several feet, mixed with limestone
pebbles and resting on mari, clay or
limestone rock.
Second-class pine lands are all pro-
ductive. They are not hilly, but gen.
orally undulating in their surface. Be.
meath the surface may be found clay,
mari, lime rock and sand.
Third.class pine land is much inferior
to those just mentioned, though many
have settled on this class of land and
done well by fertilizing properly and
cultivatiDg their orange groves well.
Some of the highest priced lands In the
State is of this poorer class. You find
this kind of soil on the banks of the
st. Johns river and on Lake Wein,
where land sells for fabulous prices.
This class of land, other things being
equal, should not be chosen, when either
of the other qualities is obtainable, for
you must begin to manure your crops
from the start, which considerably
lessons your profits. My advice is tC
always buy the very best land you car
get regardless of price, for it will pay
the difference in price many times in q
few years.
Hammock lands are those covered
with hard wood growth, whether it is &
lake shore or mountain top. Some O.
the richest lands in Florida constitute
her tallest hills. Doubtless it is thC
idea of nearly all who have never Wis
tied the State that the hammock land
are low and swampy. This is what
thought about it before | learned bette
by experience. All the timbered lane
outside the pine lands is either denomi

mated hammock or swamplan Ash,
hickory, sweetgum, red bay, magnolia,
oak and live oak constitute the princi-
pal growth on the hammocks. The
soil here is diversified. | have seen
the pine woods come to a line with the
hammock as though they had been
planted there and could come no fur
ther. Hence man can frequently get
on the same 40 acres of land a rich
@hody of good hammock and good pine
land. Such places, however, are most
desirable, and costs more than where it
is all pine. These bodies of hammock
land vary in extent from ten acres to
forty thousand. This grade Of land
has long since been entered from the
government or covered by land grants,
warrants, etc. This class demands the
highest price, varying from $40 to 500
per acre. | was shown land ON Lake
Apopka, ID or Is miles from transpor-
tation, worth over $100. In fernando
county ! bought land equally as good
for less than ten dollars per acre, and
it was considerably improved. When
left Florida plenty of hammock could
be bought for $1S to $25 per acre.
My advice to all who expect to pur-
chase land in Florida to do so at once.
Land always goes higher every fall,
but has never been known to 90 back
in price.
Of all the soils have designated
the high hammock is best adapted for
all kinds of farming and fruit growing.
The most profitable of all is raising veg.
etables and setting out and bringing
into bearing an orange grove.
The principal productions of Florida
are many in number-sugar, syrup,
short staple and sea island cotton, corn,
oats, rye, rice, tobacco, vegetables Of
every kind, tropical and semi-tropical
fruits, as well as most of the fruit:
grown in temperate zones, lumber, etc.
The cereals grown in the other States
do we'll in Florida, except wheat, which
is more subject to rust than further
north. The census of 1880 gives the
average per acre of corn at 9.4 bushels
Tennessee corn is about the average
weight csc pounds). Florida corn FIRE
quently weighs over 60 pounds.

If any Of you expect to 60 West, l
