The Best Vegetables.


The agricultural station at Geneva, \,
T., puts forth the following as best adapt
ed to that section, and, as Mr.. Purdy says.
may be as good as any others elsewhere.
OF course, Southern farmers will test IN
known varieties before planting heavily:
Peas-Daniel O'ROurke, the American
Wonder. the Champion OF England, anu
the very late McLean's Premium.
Lettuce-The variety which comes early
ut for use, Is slow in running to seed,
which retains its tenderness and sweet
ness well, and forms large and compact
head, is the large White Stone Summer.
Beets-The Egyptian for both early and
late.
Carrots-French Forcing for early and
Long Orange for late or winter use.
Parsnips-The Turnip roots for autumn
use and the Hollow Crown for spring use.
Turnips-Fhe purple top Strap Leaf
and Jersey Navel, for autumn and early
wint-r; for late winter and Spring White
or BlOOmsdale ruta baga.
Onlons-AmOng the earliest varieties
Wells Extra Early and Extra Early Red.
A very mild variety, the Portugal White.
Cabbage-FOr earliest, Early Wakefield,
NOnpareil and Early Oxheart, Winning
stadt for intermediate and Premium Flat
Dutch for late or winter use.
Caulia0wer-Erfurt Early Dwarf, for
earliest, and the Imperial Large White
French and lie NOrmand's Short Stemmed
for late.
TomatOes-The Alpha has proved the
earliest, Livingston's Favorite and the
MayflOwer.
Celery-Boston Market is the best yet
tested.
Squash-The Perfect Gem and Canada
CrOOkneck.
Cucumbers-Tolby' Hybrid, Early Rus
sian and Early Chester; and the White
Spine tor late use.
Melons-Fhe Christiana among musk
melons; of watermelOns Vick's Early.
Enthusiastically Long Scarlet and Early
Scarlet Turnip for early, and Dayton and

THE CHINESE.
Sugar in SORGHUM.

The amount of crystalliZable sugar in
the juice of mature sorghum varies be-
tween IA and IS per cent; there are also
present about l to , per cent. of uncrys-
tallizable sugar GLUCOSE and to 3 per
cent. of other solids, part of which are
removed from the juice by the purifying
processes employed IN sugar making.
When well purified, sorghum, cane and
beet sugar are Identical in composition
and properties.
Among other valuable data obtained
during these investig atoms, were record
ed the length of time after seeding before
the plant reached it's full maturity; the
length OF the period during which the
JUICE contained a profitable amount of
available sugar &. e., the working pc
ROD J; the height, weight aud percentage
of juice for the stalks of each variety of
sorghum at each stage in lis development;
and numerous other facts of Importance
to the practical sugar maker.
The utilization OF waste, or Oy products,
was carefully considered. IL was shown
that sorghum seed Is very similar in com
position and food value to common fadian
corn. and that the yield OF - ar more
busat Is per acre will nearly or quite repay
the farmer the cost Of cultivation. This
seed has been successfully used Tor fat
tening cattle and swine.
1t was shown that the apparently worth
less skimmlngs obtained IN the clarltica-
ton of the juice had value as fertilIzing
material, and that from the washings of
the tanks and evaporators considerable
amount of pure alcohol or vinegar could
be produced at small cost.
The crushed cane ('begasse') ), after the
removal of the juice, make paper stock of
excellent quality and medium length of
fibre. This begasse may be preserved as
TODD for cattle by the method known as
ensIlage, or may be burned under the
boilers. thus furnishing heat and ashes

THE FIELD, FARM AND GARDEN.

We solicit articles for this department.
The name OF the writer should accompany
the letter or article, not necessarily
for publication, but as evidence OF good
faith.
Does Draining Fertilize the Soil?
1t does not, but it performs an Office not
less important, in that it opens the way
for and renders fertilization possible.
Take, for Illustration, an extremely poor
piece Of wet land. In this condition it
would remain forever poor; but drain it
Oh, stir the soil and the work Of fertiliza-
ton begins. TIE secret is, that the water
being now excluded the air enters the
porous soil, carrying with it all those fer
tilizing elements so well known to exist
IN the atmosphere. AS plants take, ac-
cording to chemistry, more than 80 per
cent. Of their constituents from the air, it
should readily be understood how import
ant it is in the process of fertilization,
that the air should be admitted into the
soil. This can never be while the soil is
filled with water.
The primitive compounds Of carbon,
oxygen and hydrogen are always in the
air, and it is from these that plants derive
all their cOmbustible materials, while the
ash remaining after burning their sub
stances, represents their inorganic ingre-
dients drawn from the soil. Starch, sugar,
ETC., are produced by many plants, but
these substances are not found in the soil,
however perfectly analysed. 1t IS clear,
therefore, that the plants draw them from
the atmosphere, and since analysis does
show that they are composed OF carbonic
acid and water, the mystery is cleared up.
Plant life is so wonderfully organized
as to constitute a chemical apparatus, to
feed upon and assimilate the elements Of
both air and earth, forming them into new
substances purely through combination.
The union of earth and air, therefore, is
absolutely necessary in order to bring
their elements into juNtapOsition for the
contamination OF this manufacturing pro-
cess. The ash ingredients Of plants, being
little more than > per cent. OF their bulk
and composed chiefly of phosphoric acid,
potash. magnesa, lime and soda, may,
indeed, more or less abound in the soil,
but what can they avail if sogged in
water, cut OF from the atmosphere AMI
their cooperative powers held impris-
Oned? Not until released by drainage
and plant life introduced can they be put
IN action for that grand benevolent pro-
cess Of fertilization and the production Of
food tor animal sustenance.

A 6 Year-OId Hero.

Funk's starving babies, VINO wandered
away in toe hills of Mehama on Sunday

A shepherd dog, which was a household
fay0rltC, followed and guarded them dur
ing the long, dark hours when the rain
came increasingly down. No doubt the
faithful creature protected them from the
many wild animals in the deep woods.
But the heroic act Of the older child re-
mains to be added. He took his own little
coat from his shiVering body and put it on
his weaker brother, saving him from freeZ-
ing. while he endured, in a cotton shirt
hours after hours, the keen blasts of that
mountain storm. Think OF this
from a child but years old, and
let any who can say he IS
not as much Of hero as any of the full
grown Spartans of old of whom the elias

To Prepare Vegetable Mould Quickly

To Prepare Vegetable Mould Quickly
AS early as the leaves of trees can be
collected let them be brought in a con-
siderable quantity into a close place and
dressed up there in the form of hOtbed.
Let this be well saturated with the drain
ings from the dung-heap, with suds from
the wash-hOuse, with urine from the stable
and cow-house, where this latter article
can be procured. Let this bed or heap be
covered and lined with fresh stable dung
to make it heat. When the heating is
sufficiently subsidized let the leaves be I'M
covered and turned over to mix the dry
and the wet well together, and If moisture
be required let them have il Of the same
description, repeating the process till all
be reduced 20 fine mould. This will be
ready for use in two months from the time
of collecting the leaves, and to prevent
any waste of the liquid recommended, a
layer of maiden earth. Of two feet thick,
should be made the substratum, which
would receive any of the valuable liquid
that would otherwise run TO waste.
Leaves of slow decomposition should be
avoided, as those OF the oak, etc, which.
however. are the best for retaining heat
in hOt-heds and pits. The leaves Of Fir
should also be avoided, but those of the
Sycamore, Elm, Alder, Maple, and all the
soft kinds are better suited for the pur-
pose. This compost should be kept dry,
in an airy place and ridged up, so that the
ram cannot wash out the salts with which
it abounds.-GGrdeReT Record.

How to Make SuperphOsphate of
Lime at Home

Take large tub or barrel and put into
il 100 pounds water; add, very slowly and
cautiously, 43 pounds of pure sulphurIc
acid. You must be very careful while
handling this article not to let it touch
your skin or clothing, as il Will instantly
blacken the skin and destroy the clothing
wherever it comes In contact, and when
mixed With water it engenders very in
tense heat. Into this mixture throw 100
pounds weight of bones, no matter how
old or useless they may be. The sulphuric
acid instantly attacks and enters into
combination with the bones, reducing
them TO a pasty cOnslstence and COM
pletely diss0lving them. Keep under
cover and turn them over occasionally,
while the process is going on, and when
completed dump out the whole contents
on the barn floor or on a platform of
boards, and thoroughly work into the
mass four times it's bulk of dry bog earth
or cry road dust: mix and pulveriZe COM
pletelv with a wooden shovel. The bog
earth acts as an absorbent or dryer, re-
tanning the fertilizing properties OF the
compound and rendering it easy Of UNI
form distribution. II whole bones are
used it will take six or eight weeks to dis
solve them. If they are broken with an
axe they will dissolve in about three
weeks. If they are grOunl in bone mill
four days will be sufficient. This manure
is the most powerful fertilizer in exist
ence, and when made by these directions
is the cheapest. as one ton is equal to 81
tons OF barnyard manure. For top-dress-
ing grass lands use 800 pounds per acre;
for corn. potatoes. beans. turnips, etc,
apply 450 pounds per acre In the drill,
mixing with the soil. For wheat, rye,
oats or barley 400 pounds per acre. Har-
row in with the seed. For buckwheat.
300 pounds per acre.

Cost of Making an Orange Grove

Cost of Making an Orange Grove.
The following estimate of the cost of
making an orange grove is taken from the
Florida AgriculturiSt:
Price of land suited for grove, from 500
TO 500 per acre, according to locality; the
price changing with facility of shipping
fruit.
To clear the land, from s. to $50 per
acre, according to heaviness Of timber.
Fencing, post and board, in 3 or 10 acre
lots, with ks inch stats. $40 rer acre.
Worm fence, with rails, 81 per acre.
Breaking the land So per acre.
Laying out and planting trees costs
from 50 to SO per acre. according TO the
size of the trees insured to grow.
Good trees from 50 cents to 81 according
to size.
Care Of the trees, cultivating, pruning
auJ was Ing, is we'll paid at SO per acre
fer the lst and ID year; the Sd and 4th
years. when the trees require more atten-
tiO1. So per acre.
Fertilizars.- 1st and 81 year should
be applied TO pounds to eacn tree, in two
applications, during the year. The 81

The COnch Pea

As considerable inquiry is made about
the qualities of this new pea in higher
regions than Florida, from whence it is
now being distributed, the following Will
lie interesting from Mr.. j. II. Alexander
of Augusta, Ga, to the Farm and Home:
This year | secured something more
than pint of seed, which planted, two
peas in place four TO six feet apart, COW
ering nearly a half acre. got the seed
near the middle Of June, and having then
no unOccupied ground, l Put them IN with
my crop of white velvet okra, which l
was growing for seed. The okra was al
ready well started and the peas werl put
in the rows between the stalks and to fill
missing places, of which there were a
good many. The rains were abundant all
the carly summer and until first of Au-
gust. The peas appeared promptly, but
did not grow rapidly at first, and 1 sup
pose We're retarded some by the okTa,
which, being dwarf and compact growth,
shaded the land too much for the peas.
in August, however, the vines began to
make freely and by September the land
was as densely shaded with pea vines as
if bushel and half Of common field or
clay peas had been sOwn on it. Vines Is
to 20 feet lOng were very common, and
this soil being thin, light, sandy loan and
not fertile, readily believe that on good,
strong land the vines would extend 80 feet
or more.
The Conch pea is a small white pea,
very like what we call Lady peas. For
the table they are delicate and tender-a
very acceptable dish. The vine is a very
low creeper, lies close upon the soil and /
suppose could not be cut with a mower
on that account. At the joints it has a
tendency to take fresh roots. The foliage
is abundant, and believe it will be the
best of all peas to shade the land from our
summer sun and furnish humus tor en-
riching the land.
| observed very few blooms during Au-
gust, and not until late in September was
there any show of a good crop OF seed from
these vines. Near Oct. there came an
immense crop of peas, almost as if by
magic. They bore right along abundantly
and but for frost Overtaking them would
have yielded a large return. As it is, l
got about two bushels of seed from the
first planted, and there seemed to be as
many killed By frost as | had gathered.
l am inclined TO think that this pea will
do more to enrich our lands tnan any other
sort, because they make such vines and
foliage. A quart of seed carefully dis
tributed over an acre will occupy the land
as fully as two bushels of clay or red peas
and protect it as we'll from the sun. The
economy In seed would be quite an item.
A moving machine blade would not run
under these vines; but II it is desired TO
save forage the vines could be cut off at
the root and pulled around into windows
to cure, as easily as horse rake would
take up the common sort of vines.
