The Drum head is the kind most generally used; j hut those in the secret give a know-, ing wink when the Savoy is named in ! that connection. Purple Cape Broc- j coU, Autumn Cauliflower, and Red j Dutch Cabbage by those who' love': pickles, must also be sown. After | all the receipts given for preserving these seeds from theTurnip fly, the j best plan is to sow the seeds* in a ; frame or box with high sides. The I ' little jumper ' does not seem to like to. risk his limbs by a high leap, or his nasal organs may not be good ; —or'what the eye does not see, the i heart does not grieve for;' or for some other reasons, he leaves them alone under such circumstances. Celery,with most families,is an impor tant crop, and should be sown about this period. A very rich moist spot, that wi'l be shaded from the mid-day April sun, should be chosen; or a box in a frame by those who have the con- J venience. Tomatoes, Egg-plants, Peppers, ; and similar plants, every gardener tries to get as forward as possible. South of Philabelphia they may be out unprotected by the middle of the month. Here we seldom risk them j before May. The same may be said of Sugar Corn, dwarf and Lima Beans, Okra, Squash, Cucumber, and mel-1 <>us. No 'time' can be set for sow ing these, except not to sow till the ground has become warm. A feu- j warm days often makes us ' feel like gardening' but unless the ground is | warmed, the seeds will be very likely j to rot. Here we sow about the first j week in May. Onions for seed ! should be sown in rich soil, but very , thickly, so as not to become larger j than marbles. Very far North, where they perfect in one year, this advice, of course, is not intended. A crop of Carrots should be sown the end of April. In moist seasons the earlier crops are liable to run to seed. Much has been written about grow ing Potatoes, and the plan of covering the i sets with Straw, leaves, or brushwood ; before covering slightly with soil, is quite popular. Early York Cabbage sown last month, Or kept over the winter, must now be planted out where there is a j demand for summer greens; and to meet this want another crop of Spin- j age may yet be sown. Few things mark a well-kept gar den better than an abundance of all kinds of herbs. Now is the time to ; make the beds. Sage, Thyme, and | Lavender, grow from slips, which may bo set in now precisely as if an edging of box were to be made of them. They grow very easily. Basil and Sweet Marjoram must be sown in a rich warm border. Salsify and Scorzoneralikc a damp ! rich soil. How Grass Land is Improved. But very few farmers, comparative- : ly speaking, realize or get any correct idea of the amount of fertilizers, \ which is removed from their mead-1 ows, in every ton of hay which they ! .make. Chemists tell 'us that in a ton of good hay, there are one hund red and fifty pounds of mineral mat ter, and twenty-five pounds of nitro gen, which is equivalent to forty-six and a half pounds of ammonia, which is of great value in promoting the i growth of grass or of any other' crop. The mineral matter alluded to is 1 composed of forty-three pounds of pot ash, twenty-five pounds of lime, and j eight and a half pounds of phosphor ic acid, besides several other ingredi ents not enumerated. Now, as these elements become scarce in the soil, the quantity of a crop will be diminished, unless special care be exercised to return to the soil an equivolent for the amount that has been carried away in the hay. The question naturally arises then, hotv can this bedone in the most econ omical manner, so as to maintain the fertility of the soil? There are several ways of doing it. But the farmer needs to under stand the most economical way of performing a task so important and desirable. One of these ways is, to supply the waste bv scattering ashes 1 lime, bone dust, and gypsum, over the meadow, after every crop of hay has been removed. In this manner a meadow may be made to yield a heavy crop of grass every season for | a very long time. The ashes will fur- , nish the necessary potash, as that in- i grodient promotes the growth" 112 grass very much, as may be proved by ob serving the rank and luxuriant growth of timothy or clover, in the bed of a log heap, or where brush has, been burned. A top dressing of bones and lime will the other in gredients that have been removed in . the hay. Another way of maintaining the fertility of the laud is, by the appli cation of guano or superphosphates, which contain all the elements offer- ( tility which are necessary to secure a heavy crop of grass. These two ways are rather expensive modes of: maintaining the fertility of grass land, but when the grass is all re-< moved from the farm, either in a 1 green state or in hay, one or the \ other must be resorted to, unless the ' j proprietor has accsss to peat, marl or i to stable manure. | Another way of maintaining the | fertility of grass is. by barn-yard ma | mire, and home-made compost. This 1 is the most economical, and in fact the true way, for farmers in general to keep their meadows and pastures : in a good state of productiveness, j By saving with care all the manure : that can be made from the animals, 1 while they are consuming a ton of hay, by mingling a little muck with the manure, and by feeding grain and J oil meal, and applying the manure ju diciously, the quantity of grass per ! acre may be increased a little from j year to year, for years to come.—Far j mer and Gardener. j SPRING PLOWING. —The labors of seed ! time alway so crowd the faruiers.that the j earlier the plow begius its work, the bet ter. Ou soils of a sandy and porous I character plowing may best be done as ' soon as the treat is out of the ground. I Where clay preponderates, or in soils rich | in humus, the action of the suu is needed for several days. It is very bad to plow clay ground too wet, and all that surface and under-drains can accomplish will not do away with (he necessity of the drying j north-west winds and clear weather''looked for about those days." Thorough draiu i ing often makes a difference of weeks and | even months in the time the land is fit for ! the plow. In plowing sward for spring | I grain, turn it flat and deep, so that the harrow or seed drill will not disturb it. I If manure is to be plowed under on old I ground, hurry it with a shallow furrow, j just deep enough to keep the strawy por | tions out if the way. Very strawy ma ■ nuro on land to be sowed with wheat, ' I oats or barley, may well be spread in the ! furrows behind the plow, where very nice : work is to be done. When land needs liming—and before a crop of wheat, a ' j dressing of lime is often of great service; I sow the lime before plowing, rather than jto be subsequently harrowed in. Though | on ground rather cold and full of vegeta ; ble mold it is well to plow under say 15 j to 20 bushels of lime to the acre, and top ! dress with 8 or 10 bushels afterwards. Hack-furrowing is practised by many j goad farmers, to prevent the aoeumula ! tion of a mass of rich soil against the | fences.' This is done by marking out the i ! lands, of course as large as possible, and | ! throwing a couple of furrows together through the centre and then plowing right about, around them. If the first Mimed furrows do not goto the end of | the field, at the proper time the plow | man uiay begin to plow across the cud of I the land also. When the right calcula | tions are made, the field may be left with out dead furrows, except where it may be necessary to have two or more lauds in the same field. This, where the hind admits fiat culture, requires no dead fur | rows or ridges. PEAS WITH POTATOES.—A correspon | dent of the Gc.-iilanhiien Trfpnrnph says: When planting your potatoes, drop ! from six to eight peas in each hill, or if in I row, every three or four inches a single pea. , In this way a crop may be raised at very small expense. As the peas start early in the season, they will he sufficiently ad vanced to he out of the way by the time the potatoes are large enough to hoe. Peas raised in this way will generally be less liable to suffer from the attacks of the ! bug or fly; the crop will also he much | purer or i'tec from extraneous matter, | which arc an injury to the peas,'whether ! designed for market or for domestic use. I The large marrowfat pea is perhaps the ! best variety that can be selected for this mode of cultivation. It yields well, is ! highly edible, and commands a remuner ! ative price in the market. Where the j >oil is rich, it exhibits an incorrigible | tendency to produce an exhgrbitaut quan \ tity of haulm; with few pods and few per fectly developed peas: Planted with po tatoes, these habits are reversed. USES OF TIIK POTATO. —In France the farina is largely used for culinary purpos | es. The famed gravies, sauces, and soup* j of France arc generally indebted for their ! excellence to that source, and its bread and pastry equally so; while a great deal | of the so-called cognac imported into Eng land from France is'the produce of the j potato. Throughout Germany, the same uses are common ; and in i'okmd the man ! ufacture of spirits from the potato is a most extensive trade. '\Stcttit brandy," well known in commerce, is largely impor ted iuto England, and is sent thence into many of our foreign possessions as the produce of the grape, and is placed on many an English table as the same; while the fair ladies of our country perfume t hemsclves with the spirit of potato, under the designation of En it de Cologne. But there are other uses to which this esculent |is turned abroad. After extracting the 1 farina, the pulp is manufactured into or namental articles, such as picture frames, Sjiuft-boxes.aud several description of toys; and the water which runs from it in the I process of manufacture is a most valuable j scourer. For perfectly cleansing woolens, ; and such likearticles, it is the housewife's panacea; and if the washerwoman hap pens to have chilblains she becomes per , i'ectly cured by the operation. ! How TO TREAT TUN WHOOI>INO-COUOH 1 —Uporvthe first imitation of the cough j commencing, take equal parts of good old ' spirits, (rum. brandy or rye whis key. land ; sweet oil; at bed-time, place the child with the back to the fire, and rub the i spine with this mixture from the neck ; down. Let the rubbing be done thor | oughly every night, and neither themoth -1 er nor child will suffer any inconvenience j from this often distressing complaint.— ; The disease will run its course, but it will j be in so mild a form that the most delicate I child will pass through it in safety. My experience is that it is important to commence the treatment at the first ap pearance of the cough. BEGIN first Auditor of the Treasury Department | has received instructions to remove his bu i reau to Montgomery. Alabama.

ClMluchtiimal jPfpnrtmrnt. School Hours. They arc now agitating in Philadelphia a change in the hours of the public schools, so as to conform them to that of many pri vato schools—to wit. from 9 A. M., to '1 I'. M., instead of from 9 to 12 aud then from 1 to 4, or from 1 to 5, as at present. \\ e have very little doubt that this change at no distant day will be made. Its intro duction into private schools is only of late origin, yet nearly all of them have adop ted it. It only reduces the time of actual confinement one hour, aud then leaves the larger portion of the afternoon for re creation. exercise,or amusement. Under i the old theory, which looked upon school I teachers as mainly useful because they I took charge of the saholars so many hours I of the day, this would have little to rec ommend it. Those, however, who have endeavored to keep alive the attention of | children, will undoubtedly agree that five hours are quite as much as can be usefully It is more important to us that ourchil- I drcn should live and thrive, and become lusty boys aud girls, than that they should bo indifferently educated. In the mere matter of education, more will be I gained by allowing children plenty of | time for observation aud exercise. The boy should have time to play with his kite, J to attend to cricket, to skate, aud swim, and row. The girl should have hours when the doll could be dressed, and | guests received, aud playfellows entertain ed at little tea parties. Then the eveu- I iiigs should be reserved for home inter course, and domestic recreation. The lessons of school, however, iu nearly all cases, interfere with such wishes. At nine o'clock they must be in school. From twelve to two is little enough time for dinner. At five o'clock it is almost dark, aud from five o'clock to nine, or per haps ten, all the duties and amusements of tbeday must be attended to. No child j can do tnis without violating the first prc | cept of hfs existence. The reform pro posed would obviate this. School might ; lie dismissed at two, and the afternoon i could be given to the duties and pleasures of the day. This would give five hours for study; and no human being, un lor the age of puberty, can give more without doing the mind and body an injustice.— Tryone Herald. Changing Teachers. The work of Education is not only a laborious work of long years, but it is an arduous work which must bo carried for ward by a series of gradual steps. ()ne good result after another must bo system atically planned and fully achieved, and each must be harmoniously accomplished in its proper order. The most successful Teacher is he who definitely works out the great results to be secured by his ar dent labors, and then steadily pursues the means of arriving at them. He, in the first instance, makes himself fully acquainted with the dispositions and mental peculiarities of his pupils, measures their capacities, discovers their intellectu al tastes and habits of thought, and then applies himself industriously to correct whatever is imperfect, and to preserve whatever is meritorious in their natures. But this invaluable knowledge cannot be obtained except by long association with them in the school room, at the fireside and in the walks of life, and when obtain ed, can only be advantageously applied by plans judiciously laid, requiring months, • and even years for their successful exe cution. But as the practice now is, in many places, the Teacher iu one short term ot four months just begius to acquire this important preliminary knowledge, and is then prepared, the bettor to witness the best fruits of his stupendous labors, and to show his efficiency in its true colors, when his connection with the school cea ses, and another takes his place togo over the same experimental routine. It is impossible to measure the ningni- j tude of the evils resulting from the remov al of good Teachers; yet when a poor apology for a Teacher has crept into a school merely to fill the house, we have no hesitation in saying that the sooner he is removed the better. The removal of good Teachers, is perhaps one of the greatest retarding influences connected with the Operations of the schools, the workings of which are very seriously felt in every cir cle. It is surely an error and gross mis conception to suppose that a change of Teacher* every term is beneficial; never theless the idea is generally prevalent iu rural districts. Where h can be done, we think it would be wisdom on the part ! of Directors to secure the service of the same Teacher as long as they can, provi- ! ded the Teacher's influence and coßtrol over his school is sufficient to enable him to have the proper command at all times and under all circumstances.— Bedford, Inquirer.
