Early Vegetables.

Notwithstanding the general feeling
that vegetables can be brought up from
the far south at SO little cost that it is
not profitable to raise them under glass
in the north, some few find that this is
anything but fact, says Meehan S
Monthly, which calls attention to one of
Massachusetts successful gardeners, who
has 1870, 600 square feet of ground under
glass especially devoted to growing let
tuce and cucumbers. The seed is sown
in August. He has had at one time 15,
900 dozen Of lettuces ready to cut. He
has eight houses used expressly for grow
ing the lettuce to head. 1t takes about
eight weeks before they are ready for
market He commences to cut in Ooto
Der, continuing through November, De
cember and January. By having this
succession of houses he can cut about
1000 dozen week He has had from
10, 900 to Is, 600 cucumbers ready to cut
in a single day. Some parts of the year
the lettuce and oucumbers can be pro-
duced under hotbed sash, so that he
has these vegetables at command the
who'll season through.

TIE FARM GARBAGE.

Disposins of the Sewage From tho Farm
houss-rhe Objectionable Swin Barrel.
In reply to Il query propounded by
Rural New Yorker as 10 the best method
Of disclosing Of sewage from the farm,
several answers We're elected. A CORE
spondent who fapocen the oesspooi
wrote The best material for use in car
ryIng the sewage from the farm home
is glazed sewer pipe, which should be
at least 8 inches in diameter and extend
ed no less than 200 feet away from both
house ana we'll. The pipe may empty
into cesspool both pipe and pool to be
covered with earth to the depth OF ~
to feet The advantage of this method
is that the disagreeable sight and odor
are disposed Of The disadvantage is
that it will certainly contaminate we'll
water, providing it is near and below the
pool TO avoid this difficulty run the
drain pipe in such a direction that the
natural flow of the water in the ground
will not come in contact with the sewage
and carry it to the we'll.
A correspondent who thinks that sew
ers or house drains have no place on the
farm because the waste of the household
is of feeding and nominal value said:
The water Of the weekly wash | value
highly, aud every drop finds its way
into bowl shaped hollows about cherry,
pear. plum and apple trees. Kitchen
Stops containing grease, particles of
food, vegetable parings, etc., are ex-
ce)lent for noistening pig and poultry
feeds These can easily be kept separate
from wash water and other Stops by the
use Of two or more receptacles In the
case of small family few buckets
are all that is necessary. For a large
family barrels may be employed, and
these can easily and quickly be wheeled
away and enlptied by means of barrel
cart Ordinary slop or swill is fit for
feeding only while fresh, either by it.
self or when mixed with meals. When
allowed to stand a short time, it fer
ments or putrefes and is then in fit con
ditiou to cause the severest bowel dis
eases in pigs. The farmer who oonsults
his best interests will always feed it
while fresh.
Another farmer. who considers open
drains an abomination and cesspools lit
tie better, uses Stops to kindfe compost
heap. Waste from the house is taken to
the pigpen in "a cask mounted on wheels.
A convenient plan for the disposal OF
swill, given, substitutes for the swill bar
rel a 80 gallon tin can with good handles
on each side A milk can that has seen
brighter days will answer. 1t should be
mounted on three wheeled truck, with
wheels 10 inches in diameter. The for
ward wheel is on swivel, with strong
wrought iron tongue attached. The gar
bage, ETC., from the kitchen are put in
and the whole emptied three times a
day as regular work. Keep the can COW
cred, shutting out flies and chickens, and
scrub and scald thoroughly once week.
1t is an easy matter for an active boy to
grasp the cart handle and run down the
walk with full can for the pigs. But
how hard for the same boy to go over
the same ground five or six times with
two heavy pals, stopping their contents
at every step on his trousers and shoes.
