Preparation of Bones for use as Manure.
l'lrtoe In a wooden trough, or tub, the
bones, broken Into ns snmll pieces hs
posMble, rind pour upon tliem one-tlitnl
of tlielr weight of boiling water, and
having steamed the nrnss so ns to render
the bones completely moist, awl one
third of the weight of the bones sul
phuric acid and common vitriol of the
bleacher, and mix the materials com
pletely, by stirring them, by means of a
wooden shovel or old spade. The mix
ture may be conveniently made In an
old sugar hogshead, and should be allow
ed to remain some weeks previous to be
ing UHxl. It may be mixed, If necessary,
with dry peat, mould, or real charcoal,
or with sawdust; but lime should not be
added to it. By carefully following these
directions, the farmer may obtain a
compound of high fertilizing value, and
muck superior to many of the specimens
of dissolved bones offered for sale. The
addition of slacked lime and soap-boilers'
refuse, which some persons occasionally
use, should bo avoided. By employing
the bones, as described, the manure will
be found so contain a large amount of
soluble phosphate, which very few of
the advertised manures afford.
Tomatoes, Potatoes and Coal Ashes.
Both potatoes snd tomatoes are good
crops where they have a monopoly of
the soil very good on manured lands,
and phenomenally good or rich soils
which have been farther enriched by
coal ashes. Having casually observed
the effects of coal ashes to be, as I
thought, something out of the common
on tomatoes increasing not so much
vine growth as the size, smoothness and
number of the fruit produced a market
gardener of experience confirmed my
suspicion, and last spring I accepted his
direction for their use ; which were, to
throw away a wheelbarrow load of earth
where each vine was to stand, fill with
half soil and half coal ashes, and there
in set out the plant. I did so, and the
result was surprising the dozen plants
thus treated bringing nearly double the
fruit of others, and that both smoother
and larger. But note : Tomato plants
so Bet will, In case of drouth, require
water sooner, and more of It, than those
growing in common soil.
Planting Grape-Eyes.
Those who have not some knowledge
of planting single grape-eyes, placing
them in boxes of rich soil and the boxes
in a greenhouse, had better stick to the
old plan of planting two eyes, allowing
the upper eye, which should have about
an inch of the wood, to be just uuder
ground. They must be set in a straight
trench, and have the soli pressed firmly
around them with the foot. They grow
in this way with great certainty, and
almost always take root at both eyes.
When this Is the case, the . lower wood
and roots should be cut off, as it makes
a prettier, and we think, a more vigor
ous vine. When single eyes are to be
planted, cut the wood with a sharp
knife, commencing at the side opposite
to the bud and about half an inch from
the eye. In setting out these eyes In the
open ground, they should be put half an
inch under ground, perpendicularly,
and the ground pressed closely around
them.
Transplanting Evergreens.
Make a hole in the ground to contain
about twenty gallons of water, and pour
about sixteen gallons into it ; add to this
about twenty pounds of barn-yard ma
nure, mixed with about the same
quantity of fine rich soil. By working
the mixture for a long time, and care
fully, you reduce it to the consistency of
whitewash. In this mixture steep the
roots of your plants just before putting
them Into the ground ; the earth thrown
after them into the hole sticks . to the
roots, which immediately begin to swell.
At the very first movement of sap, root
lets appear through this coating, which
gives them Immediate manure, and not
only brings on but secures the further
formation of roots. Once fairly started,
there Is nothing more to fear.
French Bread.
Take clean rice three-fourths of a
pound ; tie it up In a thick linen bag,
giving it room to swell ; boil from three
to four hours till It becomes a perfect
paste; mix while warm with seven
pounds flour, adding yeast, salt and
water. Allow the dough to work a
proper time near the fire, then divide it
Into loaves, dust them In and knead
vigorously. This quantity will make
thirteen pound and seven ounces of ex
cellent bread.
