WHITE BARLETTA ONION.

This point will be highly, appreciated by
market gardeners and others who grow
potatoes for early market, and also by
those who have their own little garden
patch for early use. The tubers are
medium to large, light pink or aash color,
with the specks peculiar to the ''Ohdo'
class, oval oblong, very uniform in size,
eyes flush with the surface; both stem
and seed ends are round and full. 1t is
a good keeper, retaining its excellent
quality from the time Of harvesting until
the next planting season.
Catalogued for the first time by James
H. Gregory, Marblehead, Mass, is the
White Barletta onion. which Mr.. Greg
DRY says is the earliest of all varieties of
the onion family. 1t is of fine white
color, and bulbs raised from the seed
sown will mature about as early as those
raised from sets.
The leading seedsmen appear to be
unanimous concerning the merits of
Henderson's new bush lima bean, which
natures two weeks in advance of the
common lima bean, and may be grown
without poles Most seedsmen send cata-
logues free of cost to any address on
written application. AS many of these
catalogues are valuable guides, not only
in the selection Of varieties, but in di-
rections given for cultivating the various
crops, readers are advised to give such

After cutting slots in salt barrel and
revolving it like wheat screen, he had
a sheet of wire cloth made out of No. 10
wire, and with square meshes an inch
and a half in the clear. It was 49
inches long by % wide. He rolled it up
the long way, making cylinder which
was introduced into the frame in place
Of the barrel, and revolved 1t with a
crank. 1t did well. Potatoes, dirt, etc.,
were shoveled into the hopper, and, fall
ing into the screen, the dirt and small
potatoes dropped through on to an in
clined plane made of wicker work, with
half inch meshes, through which the
dirt fell, the little potatoes rolling down
into basket, while the large ones poured
out at the other end of screen into an
other basket. The screen works well
with Rose potatoes, but for Burbanks
and long, thin tubers generally the
meshes should be little smaller.

The Time to Ploxy.

Southern Planter divides this work into
three divisions-fall, winter and spring
blowing. Stiff lands should be well
broken in the fall, in order that they may
have the full advantage of the pulveriz-
ing effects of the winters frosts.
Moderately stiff land may be well and
proftably plowed in winter at such
periods as the condition Of the weather
will permit, and the freezing which will
follow will break down all clods and give
good pulverization.
Land which may be classed as light,
sandy loan it is always best to pillow in
the spring, at the time Of planting or
sowing, so that the work Of following,
preparation and putting in the crop may
all 60 on together, but when these opera
lions are going on care must be taken
that the land is in healthy and sound
condition-in other words, not too we
or too dry, as either would be injurious
to the crop. Sand will hold it's weight
in watQI. &c, that the temporary absorb
ing power Of the soil depends on the
proportion of sand it contains; but the
excess Of water is rapidly given off as
soon as the supply ceases, and the farmer
will have but short time to wait before
such land comes in order if too wet, and
it rarely gets too dry to prevent proper
blowing and preparation. These are but
general rules, which each farmer must
apply to himself; and, with knowledge
of the character Of his land, he will have
no difficulty excant in his neglect tO an
ply them with sufficient care.
A Convenient Device for Potato Growers.
An Indiana farmer describes in re-
cent number of Rural New Yorker the
convenient device illustrated in the an
nexed cut He was induced to make
screen on account Of having an unusual
amount of small potatoes on hand. He
first made a chute with cross bars, hav-
ing openings between them, but pota-
toes too large to pass the openings would
lodge and clog them.

"Do not let the cream stand over forty
eight hours before Swimming. Then do

constipation, fevers and eruptions which are
so constant among infants and children, and
which kill one-third of all children before
they are five years old, arise principally
from these two causes. 1t is from the won

Castoria in regulating the stomach and bow

Castoria acquired its worldwide reputation.
With plenty of water for the body, pure air
