Totash rather than phosphate wonld seem to be indicated as a fertilizer by analysis 01 mo potato, let many far mers have been very successful apply ing a little phosphate in each hill, not only incren-ing the yield, but growing potatoes free from scab. On heavy soil the application of superphosphate may make more potash available. It always contains an excess of sulphuric acid which acts on the coil and fits its potash for use. This same 6ulphnrio acid also probably destroys some of the fungus which canses the scab. But the germicide corrosive siibiimate used as a weak dilution fortheseed is more effective in preventing scab than any other application. The phoiphute will need to be liberally supplemented with potash for potato crops grown on sanily eoi', and some 01 the potash should alwavs be used on heavy soils, as what they contain ia often not iu available form to be used as plant food.

TRPATMENT OF FROZEN TLANTS. ."When the days begin to lengthen, the cold begins to strengthen," is an old weatherwise saying which is so true that often the window plants which have come through Pecember unscathed will be frozen in Januarr, writes "d. C." When one rises in the morning to find them in such plight making np the fire and warming tho room as soon as possible will bo fatal to all but the most hardy. On the other baud, if they are removed to a closet or the cellar and allowed to thaw gradually in the dark, many of them will be injured very little. 1 have frequently had geraniums come through the ordeal none the worst) for it. Matiy persous cut the plauts dowu at once, when they have been trotted, but this is not necessary with geran iums or shrubby plauts, as they will usually put forth new leaves in a thort time. Begonias thrive better than most plants in the warm air of the sitting room, and hence are favorite plants for tho w indow garden, but they aro very susceptible to frost. A few va rieties, the Vernon -and Weltoniensis among them, will sprout np from the roots after being frozen down, but my experience with other kiuds has been that it is neeless to try to save them in such a case. Last winter I had hyacinths in full bloom frozeu one very cold night. The hyacinth before it flowers will bear considerable freezing, but it seemed scarcely possible to save the waxen bells of the flower spike. How ever, they went into the woodbox as soon as its contents had been emptied into the stove. A covering thick enongb to exclude the Jight, and also the air for some time, was thrown over it. After some hours I peeped in. They had thawed, but the spikes were drooping sadly. They were allowed to remain in the dark all day, and by the next morning scarcely showed the effects of the cold. As a precaution against freezing it is well to water sparingly in very cold weather. The few "green things growing" kept iu the windows brighten tho home so much in winter that it is always a pity to lose them. New York Tribune. CARK OF THE COW3. Have you ever watched your cows ou a bitter cold day sneak slowly up to the water trough where you have broken the ice and stick her tongue in the cold water several times until she got used to it, then take a little sip and a little more until she could stand no more of it. Then she will walk slowly over the frozen ground until she gets in the shelter o an old wagon, aud there with her back humped up she will stand fur two or three hours shivering until what feed she hap eaten has had time to warm that water up to a living temperature? How long ought it to take a sensible man to find out where all of his feed is going, no matter whether it is a milk cow or a dry one. Nearly every pound she eats is needed to warm that water, aud little is left to repair the body, much Its to make milk or fat of. TLie simplest kind ot a heating uppurattiH will cost uot over ten cents a day t beat the water for a small herd twice a day.

IWiKlAflON OF GARDENS, The importance of irrigation of gar dens and farm lands is a matter of rapidly increasing interest to those coueerned. Irrigation has been some what of A bugbear to farmers always, the idea being that it required costly works and much labor to accomplish it, and it has always been associated with the utmost aridity of climate and toilsome cultivation of tho sail. But If there are ia existence any districts where more than iu others the profits of the farm are greater, and the ease of cultivation greater, too, with tho certainty of maximum crops also greater, they are the irrigated dis tricts of the far East. Indeed, some of tho causes of the depression in East ern farming is due to the less cost of growing crops under irrigation, and the ability of the farmers to sell tho products of their farms at alow prioe, such as other farmers cannot aflord to take. In fact, the time has come when irrigation must be made a practice wherever the water is available for it. For it is one of the laws of vegetable growth that this ia in proportion to the quantity of water in the soil. But it is in the growth of crass that the application of water to the land may be made the more profitable with the least trouble. The myriads of rivers aud streams that now through this broad land down to the oceau may all bo impounded and made to work for the farmer without cost, ex cept for the permanent works re quired; and some of these need only be of the simplest kind. Here low banks thrown up by the plow, or otherwise by the horse scraper, will re tain the water of a stream rhen it is high, while it deposits its load of dis solved or suspended matters to add to the bulk of the low lands along its banks, aud to increase the stock of plant food in it. The water thus flows iu at the higher end of the embank ment and, slowly moving down to the lower part of the Btreara, gives up its load to the greedy soil, and hasteuson to the next farm, where it takes with it its newiy gathered spoils, leaviug them behind as it goes on and ou toward its final goal, tho great ocean. Lands thus embauked are quite common all over Europe, and are so productive of grass and the related crops all used for feeding as to pay the interest on a value of 81000 or 2000 an acre. If the irrigated lands of the great West have lowered the value of the Eastern farms, why should not these take the same method of cheapening their products, while the quantity is increased, and so restore the old values to tbem? Irrigation, wherever it is possible, is one way to effect this improvement. New York Times. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Dairymen should always remember it is dangerous to use the milk from a sick cow. Get a good churn. They are plenty nnd cheap. Time is too precious to waste over a poor churn. If milk is properly pasteurized there is no cooked flavor present such as is noted iu (sterilized milk. In manipulating butter, never allow the handu to come in contact with it as their warmth melts and injures the grain. As the conclusion ot various exper iments, the cost of keeping a dairy cow, without roots or silage, is put at U.'35 a year. Young trees should be cultivated for some years after planting, as this ia an essential condition of their making a vigorous growth. Now is a good time to out out all useless, weak, or spindling wood in tho orchard. A twig that can be cut with a knife now may require a saw next year. It is important that the oow should be given a smooth surface for lying down. Dry bedding should be pro vided and cold drafts of air excluded from the table. When packing apples for market preserve uuiformity iu size as much as possible. Select the largest and finest to form an extra fine quality to sell at a fancy price. Trees which are heeled in during the winter should uot be cotered with hay or straw, us suoh material draws mice and other rodents, which gnaw the young trees and destroy them. The colder apples are kept without freezing the better. They will eudure a much lower temperature than will potatoes, but when stored in a cellar, ; guod ventilation is necessary and as I even a temperature as possible, j All young hogs iu the orchard should 1 be left uuringed aud free to root the coil as much as they like. Hinging ' older hogs is sometimes necessary, as ; iu a dry time old sows will get in the habit, if unringed, of gnawingthe bark ' of the trees and thug causing irrepar able injury. j The appearance of moss on apple trees shows that there is an excess of w ater iu the soil. The laud should be drained for orchards as for other crops. .S::ii,'uaiit water is of no banefit. A svsieiu of iiU'lerdraiuing should be employed, so that tho subsoil will hold inure moisture .or tho use of the roots. Every farmer should teach bis boys the art of buddiug aud grafting. Viu-iety and quality of fruits iu a small orchard may 00 greatly improved by judicious iJudditiLr, aud sueh work may lid niiii.e a pustnuu whieu will a id in terest to liirin life aud also increase the satistucliou iroiu the family I'lchuid.

Gambling is au increaxiug plaguo among men, und also among women. But it is not a uotlee.ibio cause of crime among women, though I be lieve It will bn. At present erlmes through gambling aro chiefly coiillnod to certain ola.siw such ns clerks and postoflk'a men. But drink counts for every form ot crime suicide stealing, murder. Iu Englnu 1 and Wales iirty per cent, ot crime is directly, and Iweiity-llve per ceut.

Other chief causes of crime are the absence of direct moral teach ing in schools.
