Shall wo try Market-Qardenlnp 1
Every season lurn Ishes Its crop of unsuc
cessful merchants, or mechanics, who ask
our agricultural editors If market garden-
Ingdoes not pay large profits, and if there
is not a good chance In this business for an.
Industrious man to better his condition.
Judglngby the high prices the average citi
zen pays for bis vegetables In the large
cities, It seems to him that there must be
money in raising vegetables. If he could
remove to tho country ,say within an hour's
ride, he could attend to bis city business
without loss of time, and by hiring a good
girdoner, be could Ituyo cheaper vegetables
and fruits, and add something to his in
come, by sending the surplus to market
Nothing looks more feasible on paper,-noth
ing is more delusive in practice. Every
business, to be successful, requires a
sponsiblo head, thoroughly acquainted with
all its details, and giving It bis personal at
tention. There aro many points In market
gardening that can only be learned by ex
perience, anil II a stranger to the business
undertakes it, he will pay dearly for his
education. Some three hundred dollars to
the acre are needed as capital to carry on
tho business to advantage, even when a man
is'practlcally acquainted with It, and knows
how and whero to invest every dollar. The
questions to bo solved, are location in refer
ence to market, soil, what kind and haw
much, What crops to grow, what kind of
manure to apply to a given crop, and the
quantity, what tools are wanted, what seed
to plant, what teams are needed and what
labor to carry on tho busiuess successfully,
and. have no waste. The cultivation of a
few square rods for a family Supply of small
fruits and vegetables, might prove profit
able and healthful, whllo market-gardening
in the same bands would prove disastrous.
Market gardening is a remunerative busi
ness when a man understands it, bnt It is
far from being an easy road to wealth for
those who have all the details to learn.

Interesting and Valuable Results.
The experiments with Indian Corn t
Houghton Km in, as so far reported, show :
1st. How such u work ought to be com
menced tho general uniformity of the toil
proved by examination and by raising crops
without manure. The land is accurately
laid off into fifth-acre plots, two rods wide,
underdrulned by a tile drain through the
center of each and accessible at the lower
end for examluutiou of the dialnogfjwnters,
2d. How it should be conducted so that
all the plots and all parts of each plot should
bo subjected to the same influences plowed
at tho same time, harrowed at tho same
time, planted the same day, tilled the same
lime, and so on, to tho harvesting, and
husking, and storing, the plan being to sub
ject each plot to precisely tho sainc'iufluen
res from first to last.
3d. They show, incidentally, a remark
able effect of drainage (noted below); they
roll 11 nn the views taken at Ilothamstcd in
regard in the relations ol barn-yard man-.
ure to soils and crops, which depend not so
much upon its chemicle constituents ns up
on upon ils physical properties, and the re-
l&t'ons of the soil to moisture ; and they ii
dici'e that tho best results to be ga'ncd
Irom commercial fertilizers will be in con
necuouwitn Lan.-yurd manure.
4th. It is clearly shown that manures
affect tho amount of moisture fouiukin the
graiu as harvested, and that the weight ol
the bushel of the same kind of corn does
sot depend altogether upon ils dryness, as
usually supposed, but m a measure upon
its coiiipuctnes!, which is influenced by
the relations of the soil to moisture, and
manures.
The curious development or fertility ly
drainage alluded to, occurred in this way
Some years ago a portion of tbegrouud now
occupied by the experimental plots was
used to lest certain commercial fertilizers.
No effect of these fertilizers as observed
upon tho crops of 1878, when they were ap
plied, nor in 1879, but III 1880, after tbo
drains were put m, a marked effect was vis
ibb, which was also noticeable in tlio crops
of 1881. This clearly indicates, either that
by means of tlio drainage the roots o I the
plants were able to penetrate deeper into
the soil, and so hudjaoress to elements of
fertility which bud sunk beyond llicir reach,
or that tlie soil through the elfeets of drain
age was able to draw up moisture with
whatever of fertility it might hold in solu
tion, from a lower depth thau bofore,nr both
of these causes might have contributed to
the increased crops over this area. Aqricul

ure with feet and inch marks upon it
The girth is the circumference of the ani
mal, just behind the shoulder blades. The
superficial feel arc obtained by multiplying
the girth and length. The following are
the rules to ascertain tho weight of the ani
mul :
Iflesstban one foot in girth, multiply
superficial leet by eight.
If less than three and more than one, mul
tlply superficial feet byeleveo.
If less tl an 5 and more than 3, multiply
superficial feet by sixteen.
If lei s than seven and more than five,
multiply superficial feet by twenty-three.
If lees than nine and mora than seven,
