stances the land planted was a strong,
black loan, we'll adapted to rice.
ut is often asked rs rice an exhaus-
tive crop2' A personal experience of only
a few years hardly authorizes one to an
swer this question positively, Unques-
tionably rice, like many other plants,
grows better on land which has been
resting, or after other crops Rotation
with plOwed crops performs a special SER
vice of cleaning the land of volunteer,
which comes wherever rice is planted con-
tinuously. On fresh lands rice does ex-
celleutlv, and l have seen respectable
crops made on first years new ground,
even before the large trees had died. On
the other hand have very good rice on
land which has been planted in for three
years and on a neighboring place the
seventh successive, in as many years,
promises well; in each instance no ma
nure has been used 1t is a curious fact
that guano, the phosphates and cotton
seed, applied in the drill after cotton, do
not benefit it. Yet a number of expert
ments which have made this year seem
to indicate it. In 1879 a tenant planted a
pine land fat as below-yield 46 bushels
per acre.
Land thoroughly broken flush. Laid
off feet rows, fertilizer applied and two
burrows thrown on. This bed, chopped

half acre made nearly with the aid Of a
spading fork and a hoe: in fact. we have
seen bdckwoods darkey make a first
class small truck patch with nothing but
his noe. But when market gardening or
truck farming is carried on on a large
scale there are certain improved imple-
ments that he cannot fail to use If he
would conduct his business on the most
economical schedule.
Besides the ordinary plows. he will
recognize the value of a harrow. a roller,
double cultivator and a manure dis
trl0utor. No intelligent trucker would
long deny himself the use of these labor
saving, success-insuring implements. If
man is absolutely unable to purchase
these necessary implements, of course, he
must do the best he can without them.
But II he Is able to buy them underIany
conditions, it would be very POOR economy
to attempt 10 do without them.
A man who grows even one acre in vege-
tables should have the necessary plow and
sub-soll pillow to break the soil, harrow to
pulverize it, roller-a hand roller will
do in this instance-a seed planter. a
wheelbarrow with wide wheel, the nee
eSsary hoes, rakeS marker for the seeds.
The other little hand Implements, such as
| the trOwel, the dibbIe and the fork for
working the small plants, we need not
mention
For a small garden under two or three
acres hand roller that one man can
easily manage on fairly level land is all
sufficient for frming the seed beds or
. drllls-a larger garden would demand a
roller run by horse power. Such roller,
however, is not necessary for tirmiug the
soil over the small seeds of the garden A
hand roller to be used by one or two men
IS all that is necessary.
In gardening. whether carried on nv the
plain, practical man, who carries it on
simply for the money, or the amateur,
who cares little for the money value so it
makes a pretty show, it is well 10 have
the rows straight and at uniform dis
tances a marker is very easily made
either after a wheel pattern or
that of harrow, A marker that marks
four or even three rows at a time is worth
having Most any gardener of ordinary
common sense can make a marker if he
| recognizes the convenience of having his
rows at an uniform distance. There is
considerable advantage in having them so.
In the small garden-not too small to
permit of the rough preparation being
done with the plow, thus obviating the
use of the spade or turning fOrk-the nee
essary implements are good hoe, a steel
rake, a hand roller, common wheelbar-
row and hand garden pillow, the latter
such as are made by Avery at a cost of So
The best combination hoe that we are
familiar with is the Warren" a heart
shaped hoe that can be used as cult
waiting hoe to lay off drills with. Any
good rake with eight or twelve teeth
will answer every necessary purpose
lit is poor economy for a gardner to
deny himself the best working tools at
tainable. 1t is just as. proper for the
gardener to have good tools as it is for
the carpenter. 1t is pleasure to garden
with good implements, though, as we
have intimated, right good garden can
be made with very primitive tools backed
by good muscle and determination.

How to Test Seed.

Editor Morning News. The MORNING
NEWS contained timely article last week
about the Importance of testing the vital
ity of seed before planting the crop, but
1t recommended that they be committed
TO the soil for that purpose This plan
involves an unnecessary loss of time in
ascertainlug their percentage Of vitality.
During continued cold and cloudy weather
have had tomato seed remain, when sown
under glass, over three weeks before the
young plants appeared above the surface.
In case of cold, wet ground sound seed
may perish, or insects may DESTROY the
germs to the disappointment of the tester
and the disrepute of the seed seller.
The appearance of the radicle, or root
let, first indicates the vitality of the seed
and that pushes downward in the soil,
but if the seed can be subject to exami-
nation at pleasure, the first evidence of
life may be promptly observed. All that
is required is warmth and moisture
From long experience 1 recommend the
following method Plunge n small empty
flower pot up to the rim in the soil of a
larger pot or box; wrap an adequate
number of the seed to be tested (say
twenty-five in blotting paper, or cloth,
and place them in the empty pot; fill
another pot of the same size with soil and
deposit it within the former upon the
seed. Keep the soil in both pots moist
and warm. Several varieties may be
thus tested in the same pot at the same
time.
l experimental with radish, lettuce and
tomato seed, procured from Messrs. Shup-
trine Bros. on March 20, using one 6-inch
and two 3-inch flower pots. In the open
air of the late warm weather the radish
seed sprouted within forty-eight hours
the lettuce the third day, and the toma-
toes on the fifth. On the fifth day 50 per
cent. of the lettuce have sprouted.

quiring much more food than in the last
case, and so animals are found. 1t some
times appears as though there were some
particular breeds of animals or perhaps
strains of breed that are much more
profitable than others and may it not be
said that it is as important to breed with
view TO feeding as to some other points
The ultimate profit of an animal depends
upon the feed, and if it is important to
breed COWS with a view to their being
heavy mixers and large butter producers,
it is equally as important to breed to that
strain of animals, and thus secure a race
of animals nearly uniform in their feed
ing requirements.
When that is accomplished, feeding
rations may be employed with greater
certainty regarding results, and until it
is the matter of feeding-economic
feeding-will depend almost wholly upon
the judgment of the feeder: tables of
feeding rations may prove beneficial in
the way of suggestion to intelligent farm
ers, but their use will have to be gov
erned by intelligent Judgment.

there is "a necessity for making tho land
mucn richer than has before been deemed
necessary. The mineral manureS espec-
tally are needed for growing fIuit, and
the lack Of these is more often the cause
OF failure IN changing from grain grow
ing to fruit growing than any other
reason that can bo named. Even when
mineral manures are used farmers are
apt TO apply the small dressing that they
have found effective for producing grain
crops. -Four to eight hundred weight of
potash and phosphate may not produce
more effect on grain crop than one-half
or oHethird that amount But the
larger dressing will be none too much for
a bearing orchard every year, at least
while it is prOducing fruit.

oatalpa for Post Timber.

Prof. Youmans, writing in the German
town Telegraph says;
AT one time an impression prevailed
that slow grown timber was the best, and
therefore the slow growing kinds of trees
should always be selected where timber
plantations are required. But among the
discoveries of recent years is the fact
that this is an error. The fast timber of
cold countries does decay. There is no
wood so worthless for durability as the
willows and the alders of northern coun-
tries; but the fast timbers of warmer re-
gions tell a very different story The
Usage orange wood of Texas is extremely
durable, as is the catalpa of the more
northern states. and some say, though we
have no personal experience, that allan
thus wood is of very durable character.
though of this we know of no reliable
figures.
But in regard to the catalpa, there
seems to be no doubt that while it is one
of the most rapidly growing trees we
have, it is also one of the most durable of
woods. We have seen figures which we
have no reason to doubt are correct; and
the writer has recently seen post taken
up after eight years of service, that was
as good as the day it was first set. Eight
years is of course no very great period for
post to last, but from all appearance
there is no reason why it would not en-
dure at least three times what it has
stood and quarter of century is toler-
ably good for fenCe-post.
A smooth, straight shoot goes up to ten
feet high in one season, generally matur-
ing its buds and laying the foundation of
a pretty trunk. Such stem is generally
two inches thick and in fair ground it
will increase at the rate of an inch year,
we have in three or four years after a
trunk five o. six inches thick; quite
thick enough for many useful pieces of
work on farm But these six-inch
stems, cut to the ground then, throw up
shoots of amazing strength, making new
and beautiful timber tree with surprising
rapidity, and which there is no tree what
ever that will equal.
This timber-planting question is one
thai will soon press itself on the farm
ing community very strongly in its con-
nection with fencing. So far as the
main timber supply is concerned, it
hardly presses on us much here in the
east, and perhaps will not for some time
In the far north, vest and south there
arc immense forests, which the opening
up Of railroads and navigation lines brings
OF their products cheaply to our doors
To such an extent has this already been
done that much timber near our large
cities is really worth less TO their owners
now than if it had been sold thirty years
ago. But fencing timber does grow
scarcer and dearer, and it will pay most
farmers to make a little plantation in
some odd cornor of the farm expressly for
timber purpose and we know of no tree
more likely TO be thus useful than the
catalpa when grown as we have here
suggested.
