Cultivation of the Ruta Eaga.
This root can be easily and profitably raised,
in the following manner : Take sod or stubble
ground, and plow it in the fall or early in the
spring. The last of May, spread on sufficient
manure to make the ground rich. The quantity
will depend upon the quality of the manure
and the previous condition of the soil. Let
the plow, drag and bush succeed each other,
until the manure is thoroughly incorporated in
the soil, and ihe ground made dry and light..
On sod. this process should be repeated three
times at least, to accomplish it. Throw up the
ground into ridges two feet apart. Bush the
ridges lengthwise. This will remove the stone
and sods from the top of them. The first week
in .Tune, with a hand clriii, put in the seed, at
the rate of one pound per acre. A tin cup.
with an awl hole i.. the bo '.>••.. n.ay be substi
tuted for the drill, a!;-.; A re i- one at hand.
A handle, twenty inches long, should be put
upon the tide of the t ;:p. Pax? along the
row?, shaking the cup back am! forth near the
ground. Cover the seed lightly with a rake.
When the third leaf begins to start, stir the
ground with a plow between the rows, hoe and
thin out the plants, leaving but one in tea
inches. Plow and hoc at leas! three times,
and plaster twice. If the inset troubles the
plants put on ashes. The cop will depend
much upon the attention it receives after the
plants are up. Gather in the fall, as soon as
the hard frosts commence. Cut off the tops
with a hoe, and pull out the turnip with a
potato hook knocking otf the dirt at the same
time. AVhcn they are dry, lake up one in
each haudand thump'them together as they
ure, put into the basket. In this way, if the
turnips are of good size, two men can gather,
und put iuto the cellar, one hundred fifty
bushels in a day. Too many should not be put
together, and, and the cellar should not be
made warm, or they may rot.
An efficient brush may be made by taking
halt of a round stick, six inches through audi
seven feet Jong, for the head : bore seven holes
through it. ten inches apart, with a two inch
augur. Insert in these holes, saplings of good
length filled with tine brush" The flat side of
the head should be placed forward. Such a
brush passed over a meadow in the spring,
where cattle have run in the winter, will pulver
ize and spread the manure better than it can
be done by hand and with much less expense.

RAI ixe. PAT.'. T. - A NEW Mr.niop.—While
on a short visit t<> the farm of M. Cromwell,
of this town, a few days ago. our attention
was drawn to a plan of raising calves for early
sale, which to u t; , in this section of the country
has the appearance of novelty, and seems worthy
of the consideration of stock growers.
Mi". Cromwell took his calves (all heifers)
last spring, and commenced feeding on sour
milk to a few days old, keeping them on the
same kind of food during the summer, taking
good care to feed them uniformly, but not
very abundantly, so as to keep them growing
thriftily without forcing theni to rapidly. In
the fall they were put in the stages, and fed
on hay, and a little meal, increasing the quan
tity of the latter gradually, with a view of
fitting them for " beef" in the spring at one
year old or a little under.
These ten calves look like young oxen, and
are estimated to weigh about HOP lbs. each,
alive. They will probably be sent to market
soon, say next month, when we shall see how
much beef will sell, and it will be relished by
the lovers of good eating. For ourselves we
should hardly find it our hearts to decline a
dinner from one of the best of them.—-
We understand from Mr. C., who is making
this trial byway of experiment, that he is
quite satisfied thus far with the present attempt
to raise beef in one year, that lie intends tore
new the experiment another year, when he
thiuks some improvement can be made. —IV. V.

Wor.TII KNOWING. — It is said that a small
piece resin dipped in the water which i
plaeed in a vessel on the stove will add a pc
euliur property to the atmosphere of the room,
which will give relief to persons troubled vvithu

throw off the aroma of the re-.in, and gives the
same relief as is afforded by a combustion o!

Farmer's Prospects for 1855
What are the prospects of the farmers f<>r
the coming year, as to the probable crops and
prices? In our opinion, good in both n sport-.
First as to crop: : it bus always been found
tli.it a season of severe drought had a bene
fieiai effect on the soil, so that bountiful crops
ire pretty sure to be obtained the following,
war. (An explanation of this we cannot
attempt now, but will in our next.) Besides
the drouth of the past year taught some
v finable lessons in regard to the importance of
<!:•( per ami better tillage which most farmers
w.l! put in praetie • the coming season. (\\ c
shall say more about this, also, licfore long.)—
Then the hard times have had the effect to
drive men back to their farms and to industry,
who before imagined that they were rich
enough to live more gentcely, or smart enough
to live more easily at other employment.—
This, together with the cheaper cost of labor,
and the continual high price of farm produce,
must tend to secure a large increase of crops
the present year, supposing the season proves
ordinarily favorable ; and in regard to the
great staple, wheat already in the ground, its
prcsoht appearance is quite as good, we believe,
as in the average of seasons.
Second, as to prices for the coming season ;
we think there b but little prospect of any de
cline from present rates, and much probability
that prices will advance, especially of such ar
ticles as arc suited for exports. Of course it
is impossible at this time to predict what will
be the extent of the war movements in Europe
the coining season, or to what extent this
movement will create a foreign demand for our
products : but from all that we can see at
present, wc are of the opinion that our surplus
breadstuff's and provisions will be wanted to
feed the armies and the suffering people of
other countries ; and if our crops are abun
ilant, the tide of gold and silver that has for
the past year flowed so coutinously from this
country, will reverse, and with its return will
come a return of prosperity, and the resump
tion of our public improvements.
Such are our hopes and expectations for the
future : but these results can only be secured
by indu-try and frugality, so we must all learn
to labor and to wail for the "good time com
ing boys !"— Ohio Cultivator.
DRAINING MARKS THE Son. WAP.M. —Here is
a soil that needs draining—it is absolutely wet
and lias no natural or artificial outlet. Hun
dreds of farms are in this condition. Now
what becomes of the rain and snow which
annually fall upon such farms ? Why, after
the soil is once saturated, the remainder must
be carried oft' by evaporation. Now it has
been ascertained by experiment, that every
gallon of water thus evaporated requires as
much heat as would raise five and a half gallons
from the freezing to the boiling point ! What
an amazing loss is here ! Heat is the greatest
promoter of vegetable life. Farmers say
" clay soils are cold." What wonder, indeed,
they are cold, owing to the constant evapora
tion going on at the surface. Cover the hand
with moisture and keep it exposed to the air.
and you readily experience a sense of coldness :
b-rau.-e heat i? abstracted in the evaporation
of the water. This is prerisely what transpires
in the roil. Ilcuee that field which is throughly
drained, is ten to fifuoa (Egrets warmer then
tie i :ie besides b which has not been drained,
though the soils arc similar in other respects.
In the one case, the soil absorbs and retains
the heat : in the other, it is carried off in the
vapor of the water, with which the surface is
saturated. Therefore, draining, in one sense,
changes the climate, so far as the growth of
crops is concerned.
Mr. 15. Simpson, in the "Journal of the
Royal Agricultural Society,'' say- : " I have
observed the effects of drainage on the grow
ing crops, and I have scon not only a much
inferior crop on the undraiued field, but that
crop harvested fully three weeks after the same
crop on land, and owing to this cir
cumstance and the setting in of unsettled
weather, 1 have seen crop deteriorated
fully ion per cent, in value."
The notion that heavy soils are cold and
slow, will lose ground when these soils are
made dry by complete drainage.— Michigan
Farmer. 15.
GRASS FIELDS. —It is often a serious loss
when fields in wheat Ihe previous season and
seeded down with the view to remain in grass
for several years, prove on examination, that
the grass seed either from dry weather or other
causes has very imperfectly taken.
Tiie usual rotation, which requires each
field to be plowed in its turn, or as it inav be
required, is seriously interfered with by such a
mishap.
In these eases, we would advise a few quarts
of grass seed to lie sown to the acre on the
Mirfaee, while fche frost- of spring have left it
comparatively open, and when the ground be
comes dry enough pass over the roller. This
will cover the seed, and very often cause it to
grow and vegetate beautifully, avoiding the
necessity of plowing up the field.
TOOK HOI SI:. — Provide yourself with a good
tool house. Locate it in some eonveneint place,
and whenever you have done using an imple
ment for the season, cleanse and house it.—
Structures of this kind cost but little, and may
be made the means of saving a great deal.—
The exposure of costly farming implements
during the winter, is a great injury to them, as
a general tiling, than the use of them during
the period they arc wanted for active service in
tho field. The corrosion of iron by rusting, and
the rending and warping of wood by moisture,
frost and heat, are evils the extent of which
few appreciate.- (her mo tifoirn Telegraph.
How MI IN LIMB I>O HOILS NKED. —We have
lately had reason to remark that less lime is
needed in soil than many suppose. Prof.
Emmons, in his Report on the Geological
Survey of North Carolina, says—" If we may
appeal to observation and experiment it is
established that a small percentage is necessary.
If there is present one-half per cent., it seems
to be sufficient ; for it is rare to find a large
quantity in productive soils." Prof. E. is a
chemist and geologist of long experience, and
was one of" the first (perhaps the first) to as
certain that some of the most productive soils
for wheat in Western New York contain com
paratively little lime.
PI-RE AlR. —During extreme cold weather,
every effort is usually made to keep out the
cold, and sometimes so successfully as to render
the atmosphere in stove rooms and chambers
absolutely hurtful. Pure air, winter or summer,
is necessary to insure health. A cool bed
room is better than a debilitated body.

Iv on its virtues. K. tl. ML'SSUY*. i
