The Farmers' Garden.
The best gardens in the country
thould be found on the farms. This
is not, however, apt to be the ease.
It ought to be so, not only because
the farmer has facilities for garden
ing not enjoyed by others, but be
cause the laud thus employed JIOI/S
many times better than any other
piece of equal amount on the farm.
The season for gardening is now at
hand, and we want specially to direct
the attention of our farmer readir*
to the importance of a i/oud garden,
and the ease with which it can be had.
Don't say ''it's tiro much trouble and
requires too much fussing," and put
out for the corn-field or potato patch,
and leave the garden for the "women
folks'' to attend to. Even if all the
"trouble and fussing" with which
gardening, under the traditional and
nonsensical square-patch system, is
usually attended, were necessary, it
would still jtay, and pay well, to sir
cure a good, liberal supply of garden
vegetables ; but with a little broad
ening and liberalizing of our ideas on
this subject, and the application to it
of a little hard common-sense, the
greater portion of ffli* "trouble and
fussing" can be done away with,
and the "garden" become a source of
pleasure and profit, to every farmer,
instead of being, as is too often the
case, an aunoyance and eye-sore.
Cast away, as unworthy and unten
able, the old notion of expense and
trouble—the oIF-spring of the old
hand-planting, hand-hoeing and fin
ger-weeding system—ami Jake our
word for it, for "we know whereof
we sjieak, and affirm that which we
have seen," that a large, rich garden
—plowed and harrowed in liberal
slices by horse-power instead of
spaded and raked in little carpet
strips at the expense of lame back
and aching arms, —and planted in
long rows, with wide sjmccs, admit
ting the free use of the cultivator,
will give bitter returns than four
times the amount of ground, in any
other part of the farm. Speaking on
the subject, the current number of
the American Agriculturist very sensi
bly says:
The beet paying plot on any farm,
and the one yielding the most enjoy
ment, too, is the Vegotablo Garden—
or ' Kitchen Harden," as it is frequently
nailed, and quite appropriately, especial
ly when tho "Kitchen folks" have the
chief or sole care of it. A good supply
of garden products for the table rout
let* than the standard bread, meat, and
potatoes, is more healthful and nourish
ing than all corn beef, salt pork, ami
the small assortment usually found on
the farmer's table. N<*d we add any
thing about palatablenesn, comfort,
home enjoyment! Contrast a table set
nearly tho year round with bread, rait
{>ork, corn beef, potatoes, boiled cub
>age, raried with bash, mush, buck
wheats, and occasionally a few other
items, with a table well supplied in
succession and abundantly with Aspar
agus, Green Teas, Lima Leans, String
Leans, Sweet Corn, Radishes, Carrots,
beets, Tarsnips, Celery, Salsify, Tur
nips, Cauliflower, Spinach, Lettuce, Kgg
Plant*. Tomatoes (all the year), lihu
barb, Okrn, Squashes, Onions, Cabbage,
Cucumbers (T),and other thing*,—filled
in with Currants, Strawlierries, Rasp
berries, blackberries, not to mention
Grapes, Pears, etc.—We do not accept
the standing excuse, "1 am too poor,
too bard driven, too much to do In my
. field to bother with the garden." We
repeat, with emphasis, that every farmer
can have most, if not all the atmve
pleasant and healthful variety with no
leu labor and leu expense than the table
can lie supplied in any other way. Kvery
day'a work in the garden will produce
several dollars' worth of good things.
At the winter meeting of the Con
necticut State Hoard of Agriculture,
held in December, 131.1, Donald U.
Mitchell, better known as Ike Marvel,
and author of thofte charming books,
"Hural Studies" and "My Farm of
Kdgcwood," and who is one of the
most thoughtful and practical farmer
in America, read a paper under the
title of "Fences and Division of
Farm Lands," in the course of which
he said :
Again, a just division of farm land
must include a spot for a garden / we
know what llie average aspect is; a lit
tle rectangular inclosurc, with arti
chokes, golden rod, stray raspberries
along its fence, and a disorderly array
of current bushes, bean poles, and cab
bages, within j these being thrown into
relief some Autumn by u splendid burst
of barn grass, and rug weed, and
! cockles. The neglect is, 1 think, due
i in a large degree to bad lay out, to blind
' acceptance of tho old notion that a gar
j den must lIUVA- its old accredited shape,
! with its wall of paling hemming it in
| not large enough to invito n good bout
I of the plow, or cultivator, broken up
\ with cross-beds and interfering tussocks
j of thyme and rhubarb; well, all this
aggravates the man who is accustomed
to long lines of tillage. Ho waqts space;
' lie wants tcalil-rooiil.
And the way is—to take it—even for
garden. There is nothing holy in the
old diminutive squ ire pen of II garden,
I that we should swear by it or at it.
\\ by not make lines large and free?
| Take up a strip of land in the lee of
tho orchard, or on tho flunk of the nrn
hie fields (if near by)—plant strawber
! ries and berries all, and as|£ragti*, in
long lines, eight feet apart—setting the
rhubarb, the thyme, the parsley, the
j * age, on the hither ends of the lines
ami coincident with them. K-tablish
1 free and ample space for turning at
I either end o! the strip—and the ground
can bo tilled as easy us a corn crop, and
1 in the Summer nlt< mating rows of cab
bages, beets, peas, what you will, can be
- l between tho )H<rmanent rows, and
ill will grow as well as if it were pen
ned up by pickets. In the Full a thor
ough plowing, i.nd a heavy top dreeing,
will in.-urn good condition for the next
-eison's grow th. This would make a
ni'iuageable garden, and the best of all
, tot ins for a farmer's garden.
In the discussion which followed
Mr. Mitchell's paper, one gentleman
said :
"Mr Mitchell's remarks in regard to
gardening on the farm are worthy of
careful consideration. In the first place,
the garden is often put in a place almost
inaccessible. In the next place, it is so
arranged that tho farmer docs not like
to work in it. Ail that is entirely
wrong. The garden should be so made
that IA plow can be run in it all seasons.
1 have had mine so for years. If ar
ranged in that way, you do not have to
use tho spade ; and if there is anything
that a Yankee dislikes it is a spade.
Therefore, if you want to raise vegeta
bles, you must have a garden large
enough to put a plow and hot so in, and
plow it up ; and then if the garden i
laid out in rows, you can very easily
manage them. A quarter of an hour s
work every day will give you all the
vegetables you want.
I nierelv rose to add a little force to
the suggestion of Mr. Mitchell. 1 think
the farmers of New Knglund do not d-*
pend enough on their gardens, for the
reason that they do not take tho plain
est and simplest mode of having those
gardens made, so .s to raise their veget
ables without much trouble, and givi
their families the benefit of them."
To which Mr. llyde,the Vice Presi
dent of the Hoard, added:
"For many years, I have cultivated
my garden in the manner which Mr.
Mitchell recommends. When I came
into possession of my homestead, inher
1 ited from my father, I had a little gar
den on the west side of my house, fenced
in, and very much resembling tin- one
•o aptly described by Mr, Mitchell to
night. His description brought vividly
\ back to my mind's eye that obi garden,
with its wil-1 artichokes, and its mon
strous crop of weeds in the fall. 1 look
down that old fence, snd put my garden
in a field, where I could cultivate it
with a horse, and I fotind great profit in
it. It is very easily cultivated. I have
, a gnrden of two acre* and a half, per
haps, and I do not think it costs me
! much more than it cost my father to
make his little gardon of tea or twelve
square rods."
Now, don't throw this paper aside,
give a yawn of assent and then goon
' in "the good old way" of spado and
rake, caqiet-strip and door mat, liut
re-read this whole article and this
time read it aloud to your wife, then
take an hour's time to consult with
, her over it, and we'll wager the best
steel-toothed cultivator in the market
against your old wooden rake, that
you will go and act upon it; and if,
after a two year's faithful trial, you
are willing to abandon our plan, and
> go back to the "old diminutive square
I>cn of a garden," we'll send you the
DEMOCRAT the balance of your days,
without charges. You will not live
long after such an exhibition of do
; parting sense.
Hints for Potato Raisers.
At a late meeting of the Klmira
Farmer*' Club, a correspondent nak
ed for "the opinion of the Club as to
what arc the best fertilizer* for po
tatoes, also the most profitable kinds,
and best modes of culture." In the
replies of the members there is much
valuables instruction on the subject,
and we take the liberty of quoting
extracts from them for the benefit of
the DINOOUT'I farmer friends :
W. A. AsmrsoNO. If I were to name
the best |tecial fertilizer for |K>Utoes in
one word I should say—ashes, Applied
in the hill or in the earth over the
seed.
C. D IN M AX. AS far as my observa
tion goes it i* better to put no msnureon
the ground the season it is in potatoes.
To get a good crop of good potatoes I
wont the land to be rich enough before
seeding it with clover or grasses, then
when the sod is turned over plant and
till well without manure. I would say
out elovef at the prmier time and turn
the aftermath In by fell plowing as the
best fitting. Where the ground is cul.
tivoted after planting it Is well to go
down to the bottom of the sod, word
ing it up for the benfit of the crop.
<>. M. McCsxx. Twenty years ago I
picked out the largeat and amoothest
I potatoes lo tine a need and touted them
j with small pofaloe- and cut seed. The
largo potatoes gave the bent crop in
quality and amount. I hove tried since
and found large smooth potatoes planted
whole give always the best crop. The
rulo holds good hi grains. 'J lie best
oats and the best and plumpest wheat
always gives the surest yields and tlio
I irgest. I think that if wo should use
the best seeds there would bo leas
trouble uhout varieties running out.
President Hon mv. Mv field plant
ing is with whole potatoes, and has
been many years. For early use I find
cut pieces hotter but not for the general
crop.
More About Granular Butter.
I'rof. I#. 11. A rti oh I In N. V. Trll'fiii*.
Several inquiries having been re
ferred to mo from various readers of
the Tribune as to the details, etc., <>f
the system of gathering ami keeping
butter in granules, I answer with, i
trust, sufficient fulness to be under
stood by nil. 1. Churn the same us
usual till the butler comes ami is al
most ready to g.ather. Then turn
into the churn, a little at a time, cold
water enough to reduce the contents
of the churn to about 54 , ami churn
slowly till the butter forms, as it soon
will, into grunuks. 2. The butter
milk is best separated by drawing it
out at the bottom of the churn.
When this is not convenient the but
ter may be skimmed out in any con
venient way and put into a ves
sel of cold water, or what Is better,
colli brine, ami then stirn d lo cleanse
it of buttermilk, repeating the wash
ing in new brine till it runs off clear,
thus avoiding any working which is
a very iin|>orlunt point. It should
lie in tin' last brine half an hour to
ail hour in?lore sailing. '!. When
taken out for salting it should la
placed so that the brine will drain oil",
and when this is done, it should la?
spread out thin ami evenly, ami the
salt sifted on the salt at two or three
different times, stirring it in well at
each time, §o that the salt shall IK?
thoroughly mixed through the gran
ules. The suited granules arc then
pressed into a mass by a butter-ladle,
lever, or butler-worker, and set aside
till the salt is dissolves), when it
should im taken, a little at a time,
and pressed or run through a butt? r
worker till it la-comes solid, and as
much brine is pressed out as desired,
when it is ready for packing or for
market.
4. When it is desired to preserve
butter in brine, a vessi 1 of wood or
glass may la? used. If wood, it is
U'tter not to have the casks very
large—say, half barrel in size—and it
must Ik? thoroughly cleansed of all
snp or woody flavor by first soaking
in cold brine several days, ami then
filled with boiling hot brine ami let
ting it stand till it lwcomes cold.
This brine may l>e used to soak the
next cask in. Before putting in but
ter the cask should lie partly filled
witii clean, cold brine, as strong as
it can in? made, and then filled witla
butter in the granular form, and
fresh from the chum a may be after
washing of! the buttermilk and soak
ing in brine for an hour or so. The
cask is then to Is- headed, and through
a hole in one end filled full of brine
and left to settle till every crevice is
full and it will settle no more, when,
if necessary, more brine is added to
make it full, ami the iiole plugged.
The bufter is then in ns good n con
dition for preserving as any canned
fruit. 5. The brine for preserving
should always be as strong as it can
lie made, and from pure salt, other
wise it will bleach the surface of the
granules, fi. The butter is kept from
floating by keeping the vessel full of
brine. It cannot then rise nliovc the
brine. 7. When desired for use or
for market, it is taken from the cask
arid the brine rinsed oir witli cold
water, when it will Ik? found as fresh
and rosy as when it came from the
churn, and may lie Milted nml put in
any desired shape, or it may Ik? trans
ported in the brine if it has far to go,
and fitted for market at the end of
its journey.
8. Butter Iras not, that we arc
aware of, been sent to market in the
granular form, the samples kept in
brine having been put in form for
marketing at tire dairy or creamery.
Rmnll packages have lieen sent over
long journeys in hot weather to test
its ability to stand heat and tough
uaiiagc while in brine, with excellent
results, and thus after it has stood a
long time in the brine. 9. Since the
article in the Tribune, of February
12, the honor of originating this
method of gathering butter in gran
ules and preserving it in that form
in brine, has lieen contested bv Mr.
Lewis T. Hawley, Syracuse, N. Y.,
who claims to have started experi
ments in Hint direction so long
as lHfifl. These experiments have
come to light in consequence of the
Tribune article referred to giving the
cridit to Mr. Iliggins. 10. It is true
that Mr. Iliggins has for two years
hnd an application before the I'nlent.
Office for marketing butter in this
form, but it has steadily been denied,
and it is thought very justly, for, ad
mitting that. Tie was first to make it
available, the process has lieen de
veloped an Inch at a time by differ
ent persons, rendering it impossible
for any one to claim it absolutely.
Nobody can ever make anything out
of a patent on granular butter, should
one lie obtained, as It would be In
valid, and impossible to maintain It
even If it was valid.
When auil Where to Apply Wood Aahet.
From !l World. .
Wood-ashes, among the lrcst of
saline man ores and nlso among the
most economical, are coming to be
more and more appreciated every
year. Farmers now, us u rule, hus
band every pound made on the farm
and buy them whenever they can Ik;
procured at a reasonable rate. The
time has gone by for exchanging
►ashes from good hard wood for a few
pounds of soap.
Leached ashes, while leas valuable,
contain all the elements of untouch
ed, having been deprived only of a
part of their potash and soda. Ashes
benefit all soils not already rich in
the principles they contain, ami may
lie drilled in with roots and grain,
sown broadcast on meadows or pas
tures, or mixed with the muck-heap.
The quantity of ashes to be ap
plied to the acre as does
that of all fertilizers, on the charac
ter of the soil and crop cultivated.
Crops which exhaust* the suits, as
potatoes, turnips and all roots, clover,
lucern, peas, beans and the grasses,
are beiieiittcd by ashes. The crops
named thrive well under an applica
tion of ashes with bone-dust, and
their effects are also strengthened
when mixed with gypsuin. Light
soils cull for light dressings, say from
ten to fourteen bushels of unlctichcd
and twice tliut quantity of leached
ashes per acre. Kich lands or clays
bear heavier dressings. Repealed
dressings of ashes like repeated dress
ings of lime or gypsum, without a
corresponding addition of vegetable
or barnyard manures are not admis
sible, for they w ill eventually exhaust
lands when applied alone. Where
the entire surface of the soil is cov
ered with vegetable grow th either of
the three materials mentioned acts
with great effect. For this reason
ashes may IK- applied unmixed with
other fertilizers to meadow lands for
u bmger time than to any other crop.
In reply to questions asked at the
Klmira (N. V..) Farmers' Club in
regard to the value of leached a-h ->
and the best manner of applying
them to general crops, as corn, w heat
and outs, the following information
was gained: Leached ashes vary so
much in their character that no pre
cise estimate, of their value can le
made. Heavy clay is liable to IK- in
juriously compacted by liberal dress
ings of ashes, 1 cached or unlcachcd,
miles- the laud is sod, in which case
ashes spread on the surface tend to
increase the crop of grass. The
safest and lest use of leached ashes
on most kin Is of soil is spreading
them on old meadow or old pasture.
Working them into land oil which
potatoes are to In* planted in the same
season is also a good way to use
them. Good ashes make a valuable
dressing for wheat land and for corn,
but the lenrhcd ashes nre too uncer
tain in their character to recommend
for sueli use.
Coal ashes are inferior in quality
to those from wood and vegetables,
but are nevetheless of value and are
to be applied to the soil in a similar
manner, ns they tend with their
abundance of cinders to the mechan
ical division of soils. Coal ashes arc
liencficial to heavy rather than light
soils.
Farmers, in consideration of the
above facts, cannot IK- too strongly
encouraged to follow the practice of
collecting and reducing to ashes all
the rubbish of the farm not other
wise available, such as brush, old
worst, ods, rags—in fact everything
which cumbers the place a* useless
matter, burnt earth is not only a
manure in itself, but is most useful
to mix witli artificial fertilizers which
raiinot !*• easily distributed alone or
too strong to sow among seed unmix
ed with otiier material.
Osk of the most iuq>ortant things
for the |X)tiltry breeder is to have
good comfortable buildings and yards
for his stock. Their costliness must
depend on the ambition of the breed
er and the extent to which he wishes
to go in keeping fowls or other
poultry.
In the attempt to change grain in
to ineAt by raiaing poultry, it ia ne
cessary to k>cp alive the first
pound of flesh gained by a bird while
the second pound is living accumula
ted. We say keep alive, because
auitnal tissue cannot exist for a mo.
rnenl in a fixed slate, but is constant
ly undergoing waste and repair, and
every day and hour that this first
pound is supported it is done at the
ex|>cnsc Of a certain amount of food. ,
When the second has been gained
two pounds must IK? kept alive while
the third |>oiind is growing, and so
on. Now, this mere maintenance of
the animal machinery is no inconsid
erable amount of the whole cost of
feeding an animal, no matter wheth
er it be a calf, lamb, chicken, or
duck, until it is old enough for the
table. Consequently the faster the
creature grows the less time and cost
is necessary to sup|Krt the first few
pounds of flesh acquired, while the
animal is reaching the desired weight.
In othet words, early maturity is es
sential to the economical raising of
table fowls. < •
Aunict I.TI RK is an art which can
live without all others, but no others
without it. This art la like speech,
without which the society of men
cannot be preserved ; the otbera, like
figures nhd tropes of speech, which
serve only to odoru it.
