gain now by getting the early market
It says: THE excellent quality Of the
potatoes that are kept over w3nter, and,
the usual abundance that is sent here
from Southern points, usually has!
brought them of late years, to as low q,
price when the first natives come in
as they are likely to be three or four
weeks later; and they grow faster il
the ground has become little warner
before the seed is put in than do the
earner paintings. AS regards escaping
drOughtS, chances are about equaE
which planting may escape them We
have seen the early crop injured by
drought in May or June, while later
paintings escaped; and we have seen.
early paintings mature, and later
drought reduce the later paintings to
half crop. It may be wise for the
farmer to plant both early and late,
with the chance of one yielding good
crop if both do not. Those who use fer
tilizers for potatnes either with ma
nure plowed in OF without it, are get
ting to calling for a fertilizer strong in
the potash element, and are using it
much more freely than they cid few
years ago, even going to the extent Of
using ton to the acre in the drill. with
light dressing of barn manure pkowed
under to make the soil more light and
friable, and enable it to hold moisture
longer. Upon land that is heavy and
inclined to bake up in a dry time we
think that the manure plowed in is an
important part Of the work, and we
should not omit it, though we depend
upon the fertilizer for feeding the crop.
The object being to tighten up the soil,
it should be coarse and Strawy.

The robes in which upon her mother

She fondly dreamed babe might some day
rest.
Wild-eyed and voiceless, as in hopeless
quest,
A love wronged soul stole shuddering
apart
To mark that scene whose Turing home

Like ranking arrows to ner DrOOulng

Both to the churchyard came when years
were done,
One robed in night and one with face

Guided the footsteps Of her babbling son.

Celery and CeIerfac.

Except for those who want these
crops as soon as they can be got in,
when the seed is sown in hot-beds and
treated as the foregoing, the seed is
sown when the weather has become set
tied down, springlike. A very small
space will grow enough for family use,
but, if possible, select low, moist soil.
The seed should be sownsin drills foot
apart for the convenience of clearing
weeds from the plants. The young
plants are rather slow growing at first,
and if the land is at all weedy, partic,l-
larly the miserable chick-weed, which,
by the way, troubles only the old gar
den spots, it will take considerable
hand-weeding until the plants get some
size. The celeriac, or turnip-roOted Gel
cry, is mainly used for soup favoring,
salads, ETC., although the Germans
make quite vegetable of them by
simply sicing and boiling. When large
enough to set out into the permanent
beds, a foot apart each way viii be
about the thing. Those who have the
time transplant once in the seed bed,
the object being to obtain stocky plants,
and well rooted. Any plant allowed to
grow where it seeded sends out strong
tap-roots. In transplanting, these, OF
course, get broken off and multitude
of fbers take their place. The more

Advantage of q Si1O.

A farmer who has a silo is about AZ.
Independent of the weather as a man
can be. Aside from heavy rains, moth
ing interrupts this kind Of harvesting
Light rains and showers, while making
the work disagreeable, do not stop it,
and when once properly in the silo all
danger Of imperfect curing is past.
The early date at which the land can
be cleared makes it possible to either
seed down to grass or winter q month
before corn in the shock would be dry
enough to husk. Another advantage in
the north is that varieties Of later
growth may be planted for this pur-
pose, which will not ripen before frost.

To Relieve Collie.

Slight touches of colo may be quickly
relieved by giving the horse table
spoonful of salaratus or baking powder
in glass of water. If it does not
yield to this, ten to fifteen drops of
aconite may be administered. It is
easy to make most horses drink by
holding their heads high and forcing
the neck of a thick glass bottle contain
ing the liquid into the side Of the
mouth. After the liquid has all left
the bottle the head must be still kept
up for a few minutes to compel the
patient to swallow 1t and not lose It
from his mouth. -

Raising Geese for Market.

T.
Mr. William Rankin of Massachusetts,
in a letter to the American Agricultur-
ist, says it is often wondered why
geese are not more generally raised by
farmers. They possess quite domestic
habits. grace, elegance and beauty, and
the profit accruing from them makes
no small addition to the income of the
farm. The following hints are drawn
from an experience of thirty years
in raising and keeping geese. There
are only three varieties Of geese which
need be considered: The African, Toul-
ouse and Embden or Bremen. The
two varieties of China, brown and
white, although hardy, are not large
enough and do not make pounds enough
Of flesh for the early market. The
writer has been quite successful with
two crosses, those made by mating an
African gander and Embden geese,
and then crossing the young geese with
a pure African gander. The most per-
feet geese are the pure-bred African,
as they mature earlier and lay more
eggs while young, and they are very
vigorous and hardy 1t is almost al
ways usual to raise all of them that are
Matched The Toulouse, though large
breed of geese, are not quite SO hardy
in this latitude They are fully as good
layers as the African, but will not take
OH flesh quite as fast when fattening
for the early market. The Bremen,
although not quite as large as either
of the two varieties have the advan-
tage Of being pure white with yellow
bill. When packed, their flesh is very
white, and will sell readily, yet they
are not quite as good layers as the 9th
ers mentioned, seldom laying more than
twelve or fifteen eggs to clutch. The
African or Toulouse will lay from fif-
teen to twenty-five. Every gosling may
be regarded as worth dollar as soon
as it is two days old. In the cross
mentioned above an improvement is
gained in the number Of eggs, a marked
improvement in the color Of the flesh,
and the green goose for early market,
il well fattened, will sell very rapidly.

The Corn Worm.

In the January number Of Entomo-
logical News, in the department Of
Economic Entomology conducted by
Prof. J. 3. Smith, reference is made to
the corn worm which is a very widely
distributed pest, injuring corn, toma-
toes and other plants throughout the
country and in the South, doing a great
amount Of damage to cotton where it
is known as the boil worm" This in
sect is stated to have been particularly
destructive to corn and tomatoes the
past season in New Jersey In the
Western states the loss is mainly on
early sweet corn. Corn very seldom
suffers any serious injury.
Prof. Smith states that on the to-
mato it is very difficult to exterminate,
but for corn fields he suggests turning
the chrysalids out by thorough blowing
in late autumn, as the pupae are found
four to six inches under ground at that
time. This could be practiced in our
fields of early and sweet corn, but
would manifestly be impracticable for
the large fields which are many Of
them not harvested till after the ground
is frozen.

Palestine Dairying.

A traveller thus writes to an ex-
change: "One of the oldest things en-
countered in Palestine is woman at
the churn. The churn OF this region
was once animated having been goat
in it's better days. Now the goat has
vanished from it, and the good wife
hangs up to a spike on the ceiling his
skin by the neck and pOurs into the I'M
canny vessel her wooden trays Of milk
Then she churns by selling the CHASTITY
thing by the dropsical hind legs and
swinging it half around her and back
again in tiresome oscillation, as monot-
onous as any old wooden churn in a
Yankee kitchen. When the butter
''sets" she rests her weary arms and
rejOiceS, and then she carefully uniteS
the hind foot which has served for
handle, and draws out the buttermilk,
afterwards removing the butter by
way of the slitted brisket. This seems
to be the universal churn Of the Orient.
Whose milk is it? A goats, probably.
