Garden Operations for February.
But few have j r et learned to appreciate
at its full value the amount of sustenance
which may be drawn from a well-cultiva
ed Kitchen Garden.
At this Beason of the year, when active
farming operations are, in a measure, sus
pended, would it nßt be well for the read
ers of the Qenessee Farmer to consider
how they may increase the luxuries of the
garden ?
Although but little can be done in the
month of February in the way of actual,
out-door gardening, yet much may be done
in the way of preparation that will save
much time when the urgent work of the
farm draws so heavily on the thoughts and
efforts of the farmer.
Now is the time—if it has not already
been done—to establish some plan and
system of laying out and cultivating the
garden.
LOCATION.
And, first, is the location of the garden
the best that can be had within conven
ient distance of the house ? Is the aspect
as warm—the protection from cold winds
as good—the soil as deep, mellow, and
well drained, as can be obtained ? If not,
a change in locality is desirable. The ten
der vegetables of the garden are more se
riously affeeted by unfavorable conditions
in soil, exposure &c., than the hardier field
crops —although I am of opinion that farm
ing would pay better in the end, if the
whole farm was brought into the condi
tion of a well cultivated garden.
MANURES.
If the garden did not receive a liberal
dressing of manure in the fall—which is
the better time—a quantity should be pre
pared for early application in the spring.
Hog manure—of all the droppings of do
mestic animals (poultry excepted) I con
sider best to promote the growth of vege
tation, while horse manure from its heat
ing qualities is a great auxiliary to the ear
ly development and maturity of plants.—
A mixture of the two in about equal parts
would form about as good a compost as
eouid be devised for the garden. The
more thoroughly they are mixed together
the better. Such a compost heap can be
made to good advantage this month.
SEEDS.
Now is the time to procure seeds for the
garden, before the seedsman's supply of
new and valuable varieties is exhausted—
and it will also afford you an opportunity
to test their vitality in time to procure an
other supply before the planting season ar
rives, should any one of them prove bad.
Soak them a few hours in tepid water,
in a warm room, then mix with a little
soil, and in a few days they will begin to
sprout—if good. By counting out a doz
en or so of each variety and testing them,
you may know by the number that ger
minate how good they arc, and how thick
to sow them in the garden. By taking a
little pains at this time in testing thesecds,
the gardener may be saved a great deal of
disappointment and aggravation, which
he otherwise might feel in looking, in vain,
in April or May, for the appearance of
some favorite plant from seeds which had
lost their vitality.
ILOL'-BEDS.
The wide-awake gardener is unwilling.in
these go-ahcad times, to wait for his cab
bage, cauliflower, cucumbers, melons, to
matoes. egg-plant, &c., &c., until they can
be started yid grown entirely in the open
air, and therefore is disposed to avail him
self of any means of anticipating the sea
son—hence, hot-beds are becoming quite
common. *
The hot bed should be prepared this
month, so as to 1>? ready for planting the
first of next. Its object is to afford artifi
cir.i heat to plants, before the ground is
effected by the fermentation of manure
beneath them, while they roccive the light
and heat of the sun, the cold being ex
eluded by the frame and glass.
1 have tried various forms of hot-beds,
and consider the following the best—all
things considered : In a situation shelter
ed from cold, northerly winds, with a clear
southcan exposure, dig a pit running east
and west, 18 inches deep and 5 feet wide,
and about 12 feet long. Make a frame of
inch-and-ahalf stuff—spruce or pine—to
fit within the pit, rising about 2 feet above
the ground on the north or rear side, and
1 foot in front, making all tight by batten
ing. The sashes should be 6 feet long,
and wide enough to contain 3 lights of 7 ■
by 9 glass, and wonld require 24 lights to
the sash, allowing them to overlay one an
other 1-2 an inch. The sides of the sash
should be strong enough to prevent their
•pleading apart, allowing the lights to drop
ont.
To fill the bed, use hoTse manure, pret
ty full of litter, and slightly fermented.—
Fork it over several times to break up the
lump*, and mix the finer and coarser ma
nure together. Make up the bed regular
and level, beating down the manure with
the back of the fork, leaving it about 2
feet deep before settling.
Put on the sash, and wait two or three
days for the manure to commence heating,
and then spread the loam on evenly over
the surface, 4 or 5 inches thick.
The loam should have been prepared in
the fall by sifting through a tolerably fine
sieve, and covered with straw, so as to be
ready for use before the ground thaws.—
After putting on the sashes wait until the
loam is warmed through before sowing the
seeds.
Nail narrow strips of boards on the in
side of front and back, to support a plank
to sustain the gardener while sowing and
weeding the bed.
The hot-bed needs close attention until
all the plants are transplanted intotheopen
ground. In freezing weather it will want
covering with mats, or straw—on warm,
sunny days it will need airing—and at all
times it will require frequent watering with
tepid water. A1 ways water at the close of j
the day, that the water may soak into the
loam before too much evaporates. I will J
treat of sowing the hot-bed in the March
number of the Gcncssee Farmer.
Many, in reading the directions for tak
ing care of the liot-bed, may be discour
aged from the undertaking, but when once
planted, a few minutes each day will suffice
to take care of it.
• IMPLEMENTS.
Now is a good time to procure the nec
essary implements for cultivating the gar
den.
Some of them can be made to advantage
by any farmer, and others obtained at the
hardware or bearing in
mind that the best tool is always the cheap
est in the end. The gardener will require
a good reel and line—the reel of iron, the
line of hemp, about 6 rods long, and 1-4
inch in diameter. A good digging fork,
will greatly facilitate the labor of digging
over the beds, breaking up the lumps, and j
working in manure. A steel-tooth rake is j
indispensable to finely pulverize and level i
the beds, and to free them of stones,
lumps, and rubbish. A spade, shovel, hoe, j
and the Dutch or shuffle-hoe will, of course, !
jbe among the important tools. The gar
den watering pot. and the wheelbarrow,
with a wide wheel are great auxiliaries to
easy and succcssfulgardening. The above
named implements would have to be pur
chased, but there are others that any man
with a little ingenuity can. construct for
himself; among which are the hand-roller
for crushing the lumps of dirt before sow
ing the seeds, and for smoothing and com
pacting the surface afterwards, the drill
markers, measuring rods, stakes, labels, j
&c., Ac.
If these implements are provided now J
a nd carefully laid away in the tool-house,
it will save a groat deal of time and trou- j
ble when the busy season arrives.
To be well prepared beforehand for the j
work of the season, is half of the battle.
R.
CriuosiTY OF THE EARTH.—At the j
city of Modena. in Italy, and about four
miles around it, wherever the earth is dug. i
when the workmen arrive at a distance of i
03 feet, they come to a bed of chalk, which
they bore with an auger five feet deep.—
They then withdraw from the pit before
the auger is removed, and, upon its extrac-.
tion, the water bursts up through the ap
erture jvith great violence, and quickly fills •
this newly made well, which continues full,
and is affected neither by rains nor droughts.
But what is most remarkable in this ope
ration is, the layers of the earth as wc de
scend. At the depth of fourteen feet are
found the ruins of an ancient city, paved
j streets, houses, floors, and different pieces
of mosaic work. Upon this is found a
soft, cozy earth made up of vegetables,
and at twenty-six feet large trees entire,
such as walunt trees, with the walnuts still
sticking to the stem, and the leaves and
branches, in a perfect state of preservation.
At twenty-eight feet deep a soft chalk is
found, mixed with a vast quantity of shells,
and this bed is eleven feet thick. Under !
this, vegetables are found again.
How NEAR WE ARE TO DEATH. — A ,
writer in the Independent thus discusses j
on our nearness to death. When we walk 1
near powerful machinery we know that !
one single misstep and those mighty en
gines would tear us into ribbons with
their flying wheels, or grind us to powder
in their ponderous jaws. So when we are
thundering across the land in a rail-car,
and there is nothing but half an inch of
flange iron to hold us upon the track. So,
when we are at sea in a ship, and there is
nothing but the thickness of a plank be
tween us and eternity. We imagine then
that we see how close we are to the edge
of the precipice. But we do not see it.
Whether on the sea or land, the partition
which divides us from eternity is some
thing thinner than an oak plank or half
an inch of flange iron. The machinery
of life and death is within us. The tis
sues that hold these beating powers in
their place are often not thicker than a
sheet of paper, and if that thin partition
were pierced or ruptured it would be just
the same with us. Death is inseparably
bound up with life in the very structure
.of our bodies. Struggle as he will to wi
den the space, no man can at any time go
further from death than the thickness of
a sheet of paper.

PROSPECTUS.
THE NEW YORK TRIM:**, first issued April 10,1*41,
ha* to-day a larger aggregate circulation than any other
newspaper published in America, or (we believe) in the
world. Compelled a year since to increase the price of
its several issues, or submit to the pecuniary ruin of its
proprietors from the very magnitude of its circulation, it
has probably since parted with some patrons to whom
it* remarkable cheapness was a controlling recommenda
tion; but others have taken their place, and it has now
i more than Two Hundred Thousand subscrilters and regu
j lar purchasers—an excess of at lea*t Fifty Thousand over
those of any rival. And this unprecedented currency it
I has achieved by very liberal expenditures in procuring
j early and authentic intelligence, by the fearless expres
sion of convictions, by the free employment of ability and
i in<%i*try wherever it might contribute to excellence in
any department of our enterprise, and by unshrinking j
J fidelity to the dictates of Justice, Humanity, and Free
-1 4Mb
j By very large outlays for early and authentic advices
| by telegraph and otherwise from its own correspondents
! with the various armies of the I'nion, and by special ef
| forts to furnish such information respecting Markets,
Crops, new discoveries or Improvements in Agriculture,
I Ac,, as must specially interest farmers,we have assidiously
I labored to make a journal calculated lo meet the wants
i and subserve tho interests of the Producing Classes.—
i That end we have at least measurably attained; for no
other newspaper exists in America or Europe which is
j habitually read by nearly so many farmers and their fam
ilies as is THE TRIBUTE io-dav. \\ e shall labor to increase
( both the number and the satisfaction of this by far the
i most numerous class of its patrons.
I During the existence of the Whig party, this paper
, supported that nartv, though always sympathising with
I the more liberal, progressive, Anti-Slavery "wing" there-
I of. When new issues dissolved or transformed old organi
sations through the spontaneous uprising of the people
of the Free State* turainst the repudiation of the Missouri
Restriction, The Tribune heartiiy participated in that
movement, and was known as Republican. When the
long smoldering conspiracy to divide and destroy our
country or reduce it entire to complete abasement to the
« Slave Power culminated in overt treason and rebellion,
it naturally, necessarily regarded resistance to this con
j spiracy as paramount to all other considerations, and de
' voted all its energies and efforts to the maintenance of our
! Union. In every groat controversy which has divided
ourcountry, it has been found on that side which natu
rally commands the sympathy anil support of the large
majority of school-houses and the decided minority of
grog-shops, and so doubtless will be to to the last.
Ardently desiring and strivinc for the Qsrly and endu
ring adjustment "112 our National distractions.The Tribune
leaves the time, the nature and the conditions of that ad
justment implicitly to tho*e lawfully in authority, con
fiding in their wisdom and patriotism, anxious to aid
them to the utmost in their arduous responsibilities and
not to embarrass them even by possibility. Firmly IHV
lieving in the Apostolic rule—'-First pure then peacea
ble"—holding that the total and final extirpation of Sla
very is the true and only absolute cure for our National
ills—that any expedient that stops short of this can
have hut a transient and illusory success—we j-et pro
pound no theory of "reconstruction" and indoj.-u none
that ha* been propounded by another—neither Sum
ner s, nor Whiting'-. nor any of the various Copperhead
devices for achieving "Pence" by surrounding the Re
public into the power of its traitorous foes—but, exhor
ting, the American People to have faith in their Govern
ment, to re-enforce their armies and replenish their treas
ury, we believe that, if they but do their duty,« benign
Providence will indue time biing this fearful struggle to
such a close as will best subserve the true greatness of
out country and the permanent well-being of mankind.
We respectfuly solicit the subscriptions and active
exertions of our friends, and of all whose views and con
| victiobs substantial Iv with ours.

U. S. 5-2CTS.
THE Secretory of the Treasury baa not yet given no
tice of any intention to withdraw hi* popular Loan
from Sale at Par, and, until ten days' notice is given, the
underslgnod, ai "General Supecription Agent," will con
tinue to supply the public.
The whole amount of the Loan authorized is Five Hun
dred Mil lions of Indians. Nearly Fotijr llundrad Millions
hare been already subscribed for and paid into the Treas
ury, mostly within the last seven months. The large de
mand from abroad, and the rapidly increasing home de
mand for use as the basis for circulation by National Hank
ing Associations now organir.ing in all parts of the coun
try, will, in a very short periinl, absorb the balance.—
Sales have lately riuiged from ten to fifteen millions week
ly, frequently exceeding three millions daily, and as it Is
well known that the Secretary of the Treasury has ample
and uufuillng resources in the Duties on ln»|w»rts and In
ternal Revenue, and in the issue of the Interest-bearing
Legal Tender Treasury Notes, it is almost a certainty that
he will tint find it necessary, for a long time to come, to
seek a market for any other long or pcrmUnent loans, the
Interest and Princij al of which are payable in Hold.
Prudence and self-interest must force the minds of those
contemplating the formation of National Banking Asso
ciations, as well as the minds of all who have Idle money
on their hands, to the prompt conclusion that they should
lose no time iu subscribing to this most popular l<oan. It
will soon be beyond their teach, and advance to a hand
some premium, as was the result with the "Seven Thirty"
Loan, when it was all sold and could no longer be subscri
bed for at par.
It is a Six per Cent. Loan, the Interest and Principle i
payable iu Coin, thus yielding over Nine per Cent, per an
num at the present rate of premium on coin.
The Government require* all duties on imports to be
paid in Coin. Tlie*o duties have, f>r a long time past,
amounted to over a Quarter of a Million of Dollars daily,
a sum nearly three times greater than that required in the
payment of the Interest on all the 5-20's ami other per
manent loans. So it is hoped that the Surplus Coin in the
Treasury, at no distant day, will enable the United States
to resume specie payment* upon all liabilities.
The loans is called 5-20 from the fact that, whilst the
Bonds may rqn for 30 years, yet the Government has a
right to pay them off in Gold, at par, at any time after 5
The Interest is paid half-yearly, vir.: on the first days
of November and .May.
Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds, which are payable
to bearer, and are SSO, SIOO, fSOO, and SIOOO :or Registered
Bonds of same denominations, and in addition, $. r »,000 and
$1,0,000. For Nanking purpose* and for Investments of
Trust-monies the Registered Bonds are preferable.
These - cannot be taxed by States, cities, totta, or
counties, and the Government tax on t hem-Is only one half
per cent, on the amount of inconre, when the income of
holder exceeds Si x Hundred Dollars per annum. All (
other investments, such as income from Mortgages,
I Railroad Stuck, ami Bonds, etc., mu*t pay from three to
five percent, tax on the income.
Banks and Bankers throughout (he Country will con
tinue to dispose of the Bonds; nndall orders by mail, or*
Otherwise, will be promptly attended to.
The inconvenience i-f a few days'delay in the delivery
of the Bonds is unavoidable, the demand being mo great:
but as interest commences from the day of subscription,
no less is occasioned, and every effort is being made to di
minish the delav.
