Agrintitttral. How to Cultivate Sorghum Upland is alleged to be preferable to fiat or clay soil ; and it is better to be pliable, and not apt to brake after heavy rains, and all the better for having a southern exposure. The ground should be well plowed as early in the spring as practicable; before planting it should be thoroughly and deeply cultivated, and freed Of clods by the liberal use of the roller. None but well ripened and sound seed should be used, the very purest that can be got—four quarts to the acre, and for the smite amount of ground one hundred fifty pounds of superphosphate of lime, or its equiva lent in some kind of immediate fertili zer to be applied in the drills and cov. ered with the seed. The seed shozdd be scalded by covering with water at one hundred and sixty degrees Fahrenheit one and a half minutes ; then reduce the temperature to blood heat, and leave the seed in the water, say twelve hours, when it should be remov ed from the water and kept moist some forty-eight hours, er untill it shall have begun to sprout. The seed thus treat ed should by no means be allowed to get dry befbre being covered. The furrows should be shallow and about four feet apart. The seed and the fertilizer should be distributed care fully and covered to the depth of half to three-fourths of an inch. As soon as the plant has four or five leaves it should be partially thinned, the process being conducted with cam, .seeking to -restrain the strongest plaids ' which, on sibeesueut occasions should be reduced to eklit or tettinehes in a row. lithe cane is thick enough without the suckers they should be removed. Labor may be saved by planting in hills *We and one-half feet square, leaving four stalks to a hill, although the plant •ing in drills is preferable. The cane heeds early and thorough cultivation, which should be continued until the plants are.three or four feet high ; after this the cultivator had better not be used. as the roots about this time com mence spreading. The suckers should be cut off, as the pulling process disturbs The roots and lacerates the stalk. The cane is fit to cut when the ma bority of the seed heads have become rown, but the crop increases in value until the seeds are pretty well matured. The freezing of the uncut cane is disas trous-tinless worked up immediately Better to cut green, if the seeds have shot up to their full height than allow it to freeze on the stalk. In cutting it should be taken off obliquely just above the crown roots, the tops topped off below the upper join; bladed and shock ed or piled where it can be sheltered from the sun and weather ; it can re main in this condition for several weeks without damage. In procuring seeds for planting all canes not fully in head are too green, and should not be gath er,cd for that purpose. Is there Profit in Farming? A few years ago a smart, intelligent young man, Mr. Geo. W. Woodwcll, Purchased a small farm in the lower part of Newburyport, and commenced the growing of onions, putting more and mdre of his land to the cultivation. till is year he had six acres. The crop was small, owing to the.extreme drouth at the very time when 4n was most needed for their growth, Zfill he obtai l ed two thousand bushels, which sold at $l. 75 to rising. $2 per bushel, and gave him a c;ear profit of about two *wand dollars, which covered the original cost of his place. six acres of land, dwelling house, barns, &c That would seem satisfactory for one year, but at the same time he hail only about half a crop for a good season. On por tions of the same land he had grown six hundred bushels to the acre, and eight and nine hundred bushels have been grown to the acre in this vicinity. A Full crop would have stocked him eight thousand dollars instead of two, with very little additional cost. —Herald Raising Plants from Cuttings. Peter Henderson, of je-sey City, a noted propagator. gives a simple mode of raising plants from cuttings, such as roses, verbenas, carnations, •Ec. adapt ed to experienced cultivators, although not the mode used on an extended scale. A common flower pot saucer, or even a common kitchen saucer or other: di* is filled with sand. and the cutt ings thickly inserted in it. It is then watered until it becomes about liquid as mad. The cuttings should of course be of green or unripened wood, three or four inches long, placed in a strong light room or green-house, kept in a temperature of 50 deg. or 80 deg., but best at 70 deg., to 75 deg , allowed to remain from ten to twenty days. till rooted and the sand kept constantly in this semifluid state, for if they become partly dry they are ruined. FARMERS' PAINT...—FaMerS will find the following profitable for house or fence paint Skim milk, two quarts ; fresh slacked lime, eight ounces ; linseed oil, six ounces; white Burgundy pitch, two ounces ; Spanish white, three pounds. The lime is to be slacked in water; exposed to the air, and then mix ed with about one fourth of the milk ; the oil. in which, the pith is dissolved, to be added, a little at a time, then the rest of the milk, and afterwards the Spanish white. This is sufficient for twenty-seven yards, two colgs. This is for a white paint. If desirable, any other color may be produoed thus, if & cream oolor is desired, in place of a part Spanish white, use the ochre alone. —Working Farmer. -The question was recently pro pounded tia a down east editor, "Are hoop skirts dangerous?"
