TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Managing a Youn<r Cow.
A young cow which is expected to
drop her second calf in the spring requires
gcod shelter, and generous but
not forcing feed. Shut oil all grain
rations several weeks before she is expected
to calve, as nothing is more conducive
to milk fever than an excessively
xugn conation. jriace xae cow uuiure
she calves in an open box stall, where she
can have perfect freedom. Soon after
the calf is born give the cow a warm
bran mash. "When the calf has sucked
draw all remaining milk fr^m the udder
thoroughly by hand, and continue to do
bo, momiDg and night. Take the calf
away the third or fourth day. Indeed,
some of the best dairymen do not allow
the calf to suckle at all, but take it from
the cow as soon as it is dry. This practice
saves all trouble with both cow and
calf. ?A merit in .-1 yricn> f uris'.
A Wa?jer Accepted.
The yields of potatoes raised from year I
I to year on the specially prepaied potato |
plot of the Rural Ncc Y-rU^s experiment
grounds are the largest on record.
These yields are not confined to occasional
favorable seas >ns, but they have
been produced every year on the same
plot for ten years. The editor, in order j
to show his faith in his peculiar method ,
of potato culture, offered several weeks !
ago a wager of from $.30 to $100 or more
that he would raise on this plot next season?let
it be favorable or unfavorable?
at the rate of over seven hundred bushels
to the acre, the money to be donated
to some charity. Now it appears that
Mr. Ackinson, the editor of the Farm
Journal, has accepted the wager in the ;
interests of agricultural progress. The i
crop is to be harvested in the presence of

Such trials are commendable whatever
the outcome, and should the number of ;
bushels fixed upon be equaled or exceeded,
all farmers will be glad to give the
Rural** method of potato culture a care- 1
ful trial.?Neic York World.
Worms in Peach Trees.
The gru'^s or worms you find in peach
trees are the larva; of a small moth with I
transparent wings, somewhat resembling
a large wasp. These moths may usually '
be seen flying about pe.ich orchards from !
spring until quite late in summer, and i
the female moths deposit their eggs on j
the bark of the trees near the surface of j
the ground. The grubs hatching from
these eggs cut their way through the
bark and feed upon the soft wood underneath,
often passing almost around the
etem during the season. During the
following spring the grubs complete
their growth, first changing to what is
called a pupa, thence to a moth. As
the grubs are nearly or quite full
grown in early sp.ing, this is the
proper season to remove them to prevent
any further increase in numbers. "We
think that the surest way of check'ng
^ the ravages of this pest is to cut out and
destroy the grubs, going over the orchard
and examining each tree every \
v spring, but some peach growers recom- 11
mend the employment of various appli- ! ?
cations to prevent the deposit of the eggs ,
by the moths. Smearing the base of the j
stems with hard soap or wrapping them
with tar paper is said to be an elfectual' ,
preventive; still, it co*ts as much to ap- !.
ply them as to cut out the grubs Peach .
trees should be regularly pruned, uot
only to keep them in good form, but to
insure an abundance of strong bearing '
wood. If the trees grow too tall they \{
should of course be ''headed back," and <
the branches thinned out when they be- '
come too numerous and crowded.?freto '

Cultivation of Onions. 1
A correspondent asks how much seed :'
it will take to sow an acre, the best time !
to sow, what two kinds of seed to use '
for market crops, how to cultivate and :
the proper means of harvesting and pre- 1
paring the crop for market? j i
The two kinds usually sown by market ]
gardeners are Yellow Danvers and iarge 1
"Wethersfield Red.The latter for shipping 1
South. i
The crop requires a rich, deep, mellow j ]
soil, heavily manured. It is better that | ]
they be sown as early in the spring as <
lip rrrmmfl onn lip tvnrU-p/l rm fall nlnw. i
ing. Three to four pounds of fresh seed j
is the usual quantity sown per acre, iu
drills eighteen inches apart, and half an
inch deep.
The cultivation is entirely by hand ma- J,
chines and r ^rficial, working close to J
the crop. Wnen the plants are three
inches high, thin to two inches apart, j
Keep free from weeds, and as the bulbs
begin to form, draw the earth away rather 1
than to the bulbs. Never cultivate 1
deeply, as it will injure the surface roots. ,1
As the crop gainsjsize the tops gradually. ;1
When the tops are nearly dry the j *
onions are collected into thin windrows, 1!

thin layers, until late in the autumn; !
they are then carried to a cool, dry eel- ' ?
lar and stored on racks six or eight <
inches deep. They may also be saved ?
in heaps, out of doors, by piling in a dry l
place just before hard frosts set in, cov- f
ering carefully with hay and then with : t
earth, just so they will freeze slightly. I
Then they should not be touched until
the frost draws out of them naturally, j
when they must be immediately s^ld.? ;)

I r
i Rotation in Crop9.
The importance of a judicious rotation j
of crops should not be ignored, notwith- '
Btanding the asserted ability of chemic al '
fertilizers to supply all that is required J.
for any crop for any number of years.
Fertilizers arc C03tly. A liberal appli- '
cation of them costs from $20 to $1U per i(
* acre, and if this expenditure can be !1
spared by skillful management of the 1
soil bo much money is saved, aud that is *
equivalent to the earning of it. A crop
of potatoes takes little of vglue from the
soil, 2o per cent, of the tubers only is i
solid matter, and of this less than 1 per s
cent, is mineral matter; but th3 yines 1
contain nearly three times as much
mineral matter as the tubers, and, as
these are left to decay upon the land, '<
and are turned under for the next crop, 1
it is evident that this crop has gathered 1
a 1 orrfrt nnnnlitir nf valuable minora] -n'rint
a wigtvJU?i.i.v -- r
food from the soil, and has left it in
the most available shape fcr the
following crop. It has in fact changed
60 much inorganic matter.into organic \
substance and available plant food. A
large part of this mineral matter is potash,
which is much required by wheat,
and hence we find wheat does very well
after potatoes; this being due in part to
the direct contribution of plant food
from the preceding crop, and in part to i
the useful effect of the tillage. Clover
adds nitrogen to tte surface soil, bring
ing it, as the potato brings potash, from j
the subsoil, and thus both of these crops i
are usefully brought into a rotation. It !
is cicar that what is gained has not cost
the farmer any money out of pocket. The
remains of a good clover crop leave in the
soil ISO pounds of nitrogen, worth in j
money $27 per acre. This value is the j
same to the farmer as so much artificial J
nitrogen, and possibly in some cases sev- ;
eral times more; hence is apparent the j
advantage of a rotation of crops, selected j
for their beneficial effects upon the soil. I
No cloubt our very narrow rotation of
three grain crop-;, and one of grass and
clover, is too exhaustive for the most
profitable culture of the soil. Two or j
three years grass and clover, then corn j
taken from the turned sod and followed i
by oats, and after this wheat, with all ;
the manure made, and then beginning ;
with grass again, may suit a very fertile
and virgin soil for a few years, but it
has resulted in the gradual reduction of
the average yield to a point at which a
very inadequate return is made for the
farmer's work. The rotation should be
enlarged so as to include more of the
so-called ameliorative crops, and thus i
net favorably on the soil as well as pro- !
duce more money-making products, j
Potatoes, beans, loddcr-corn, clover I
and roots for feeding need to be added {
to the com, oats and wheat, and the i
grass and clover following this, while >

There is no standard percentage of

Hints for the Laundry.
One of the greatest pacifiers of th'
sterner sex is perfectly laundried linen,
and a writer in the Detroit Free Press say
that to properly equip a laundry the first
utensil wanted will be a suction funnel,
which your tinsmith can make for you a
a cost of two shillings which you wil
find the greatest labor saving machine
you ever had in your household. I.et
him take an ordinary funnel such as is
used for filling barrels, solder two strips
across the mouth at right angles to each
other, rut of the small end of the funnel
about three inches from the base, insert
a handle in this end (a broom stick is
best) air tight and secure; with this contrivance
you will Lave a washer that can
do three women's work in one day?with
an energetic boy at one end of it. Now
for the clothcs to be washed: During the j
evening prior to wash-day, separate the ;
white lothes that will be starched, such j
as skirts, collars and cuffs, shirt?, etc.. |
soak them over night in warm water,
winch loosens up the dirt and opens up
the mehes of the linen. They are then
ready for the washing. Get a good washing
powder, take about three or four
tablespoonfuls, mix well in a bucket of!
hot water with one-third of a cake of
soap chipped fine. Stir up this mixture |
until well dissolved; pour this with four
two-gallon buckets of hot water in a
large tub; use the suction funnel as an
agitator for the clothes and suds for
about an hour, when you will find on inspection
they a e washed much better
than could be done by hand and in onetenth
the time.

A Glimpse of Centnries Ago.
It gives one a little flutter of excitement,
says a correspondent of the London
Referee, writing about the excavations
at Pompeii, to look at a man, perfect
in form and feature, lying Just as he
died on that November day exactly 1800
years ago next November?to see his
hands clenched and his teeth set, and
the very look of horror on his f?ce that
came there as he fell, fleeing from the
doomed city?fell to rise no more. And
in another case lies a beautiful girl of
Pompeii, who died wiih her arms across
her eyes, shutting out the sight of tbe
swift death that was overtaking hei.
A ml near her lies a noor little dog who
had died that day. He still wears the
collar and chain that bound him to the
kennel and prevented his escape. The
I?oor little Pompeian bow-wow, who
ived 1800 years age, lies upon his side,
his limbs drawn together in agony, his
lips parted just as they were when they
gave the last dying whimper of terror
and despair. That little dog of A. D.
70 has achieved immortality, and, like a
good many four-footed immortals, he
paid a good price for the advertisement.
True to His Duty.
During the siege of Gibraltar, its Governor,
(.ieneral Elliott, was one day
makng a tour of inspection, when he
came upon a German soldier, who,
though standing at his post, neither
presented arms nor even held his musket.
"Do you know me, sentinel?" inquired
the General; "why do you neglect your
duty?" "I know you well, General,
and my duty also,was the ieply; "but I
ivi+liin Tncf fnw mirmtps two of thrt I
! fingers of my right hand have been shot
off, and I am unable to hold my musket."
''"Why don't you go and have
them bound up?" Because in Germany
a man is forbidden to quit his post until
he is relieved by another." The
General instantly dismounted. "Xow,
my friend," said hej "give me your
musket, and I will relieve you. Go and
have your wounds dressed." The soldier
obeyed, but went first to the nearest
guardhouse, when he reported that the
General was standing ou duty in his
place. His injury unfitted him for active
service, but the story of his courage soon
reached England, and he was made an
officer.
