|ARM, SATDTN&^OUMLIOM. GROWING ROOT CROPS. To grow root crops to good advantage, a ricb piece of ground, free from weeds, should be selected-one in wbich the manure ap plied to previous crops is not exhausted, is better than a heavy application of coarse manure to the present crop. Coarse manure not finely spread, as is often the case, is very likely to induce a branching, scraggy growth ■of the roots. Fine manure well spread does better; and if pat on in the fall, so the strength may be diffused through the soil ; it does still better. A good clover Bod thai has had a good dressing of fine manure the previous fall, makes an excellent prepara tion. The large tap-rcots of clover wedge apart and loosen up the soil more and deep er than other crops, and render the fine cul tivation much easier and more certain, and at the same time add to the available plant food near the surface. The land should be well and finely work ed. making not merely a fine seed bed on the surface, but it should be n.ade fine about as deep as it is plowed. A clean clover sod that will soon rot and crumble down fine at the bottom of the furrow, it may not be best to disturb, but only make a good seed bed on the furrow. But in roost other cases it is best to plow two or three times, and fre quently use the harrow and roller besides. A good way is to plow and work the land early in the spring: then let it lie until the weeds are well started, when another thor ough working will destroy one crop of weeds, and put the land in fine condition for the seed. If this can be done without another plowing, the worst crop of weeds of the season will be destroyed, and not a lit tle labor in tending be saved. A rather slight ridging is preferred: the seed is drill ed on these ridges. By making the rows 21 feet apart and very straight, most of the la bor in tending may be done with a horse. Carrots, Sugar beets and Mangold IV urxe's may be sewn at any time in May when the land is in good condition to secure a quick germination and growth, so the crop may get the start of the weeds. Soaking aud sprouting the seed has been practiced, and sometimes with the best results. But it is Dot aiways sure: if the land and weath er are all favorable when the seed is ready, it will do well: but if storms and bad weath er prevent sowing at the proper time on the one hand, or dry weather makes the soil so dry that it draw 3 the moisture out c>f the soaked seed, on the other, failure may be the result. When the weather and condi tion of the land can he foretold for a few days, it is a good plan to soak the seed: then with plenty of seed, so that if one is lost another may be sown, there is little risk and may be considerable gain, in, starting the crop. While from May Ist to 20th is the best time to sow carrots and beets, very good crops have been grown by sewing early in June. Seed turnips are always sown in June —the 20th is the usual time, but it may be questioned whether it is not better to sow earlier. Any soil thai will produce good corn ought ! to grow roots. The main point is sufficient : fertility and pulverization. A sandy loam is generally pre/erred, because the latter is more ' readily secured, and with much less labor. It is also sooner dry after a rain and ready to work at odd spells, when something to do is j wanted to fill up the time. On such soils it j is easier and more pleasant harvesting roots, j while they come out cleaner, and, after a lit- • tie drying, most of the adhering soil will rat- I tie off in handling. Sandy loams are thought j more suited to turnips and carrots, while j heavier loams ore preferred for beets and mangolds. Indeed any fertile, finely worked clay loam will grow the latter, also good car rots; and so good crops of both have been grown on a sandy loam. Where only a lew hundred bushels are grown, or even a few acres, it is a good plan to sow near the buildings, where they will be handy to work in at odd spells and on broken days. A good deal of hoeing and working may be done in this way without feeling the loss of the time; indeed most ol the work mav be clear gain. The first hoeing should be as soon as the third or rough leaf appears. With a sharp new hoe, the corners standing out well, the rows may be heed very close, leaving only half to three-fourth • of an inch space for the plants, and no thick bunches; then there will be much loss labor in thinning out. If the first hoeing is thus done when they are small, and the second when some two inches high, nearly all the thinning out may be done with a sharp-cornered hoe, taking out surplus plants the same as weeds. 1 seldom use my fingers in weeding root crops. Practice has shown that there are so many ways in which the corner of a hoe can be used to take weeds out of a row - , that I fiud it much easier and quicker to do it with a hoe. Hoeing often is easier, cheaper, better for the crop, aud more certain to kill the weeds. Then the weeds don t have time to injure the crop, or to be much in the way: nor does the land have time to get hard. It is less work to hoe twice—each time before ibe weeds get an inch, than once after they are four inches high, while in the latter case the growth of the crop will be checked by the weeds, and in the former, increased by the frequent hoeing. The same rule applies to working with a horse, with this difference, that while the cultivator or horse hoe will kill all, or very nearly all the small weeds, many of the lar ger ones that have been left until four or five inches high, will again take root and grow. Cor. Country Gentleman. GLEANINGS. Manure is greatly injured by lying in the rain. It needs shelter as much as cattle. Hon t keep a calf tied or shut up in some damp dark corner, with hardly room enough to I. ■' down. He needs the sunshine as much as heus, or the plants in the garden. A recent writer states that 350 bushels of potatoes remove 90 pounds of potash from the soil on which they are grown; consequently, wood ashes is one of the most valuable ma nures for this crop. A correspondent of the American Ento mologist says that a few sliced onious. buried in the ant-hill, will cause the ants to leave it. A gill of kerosene oil, poured into the orifices of the nest, will secure the same result. Ibe Cottage Gardttur, I.ondon, says • earthing up potatoes diminishes the product and retards the ripening of the tubers. Long experiments in England have proved this fact i that hilling up the potato will reduce the crop one-fourth. Ihe Agricultural Gazette estimates the annual consumption of wheat in the United Kingdom at 20,000,000 of quarters—it may be a million more—and states the average yield per acre, throughout the kingdom, at -7 bushels. An English quarter is eight bu shels. ~t a i armors (lub in Ohio, the discussion of the question resulted in the conclusion that August and February are the most suita ble months for cutting timber. In August the summer s growth is mature and firm. In February the circulation has been for two or three months suapended by the cold of win ter. An English farmer broke up 30 acres of water meadow which produced nothing bat coarse edge grasses and rushes. After it was thoroughly drained and laid down to grass, he was able to cot fonr crops of green fodder annually of the best quality. The same thing could be done in thousands of cases in tide m-'rr.

A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the Hair. Faded or gray hair i toon restored to its original color and the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness of ten, though not always, cured Dy its use. Noth ing can restore the hair where the fallicies are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dan gerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor eas only benefit but not harm it. If wanted mere for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Contain ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, girin it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by. I>R. J. C.
