We not frequently see piles of leaves ( ' raked up and burned because they dis- ^ figure the grounds. Leaf mould isval- j uable for many purposes,- and is, espe- ^ ciallv so for azaleas, rhododenrous and t waitmua, and ir these shrubs are mulched v with leaven every autumn they will fill ' the accumulating mould with fibrous . roots and repay the trouble with a thriftier growth and more abundant bloom. AH clippings from the shrubbery, old dahlia stalks, potato vines and all rub- * bish of that kind may be used to ad vantage on small places by burying it around the roots of trees or shrubs,?New YorkHerald. J i PLOWING. When the ground ha* been well | plowed in the fall it is not always neces- j, nary to plow again in the spring before | planting. A good cultivation will stir i the soil sufficiently deep for planting and 1 the harrow will work into a proper tilth j for planting the. seed. In addition to , the saving of the work by this plan there is the advantage of having the j trash buried so deep that it will not be fliatiii-Sa/1 ..III.... ? -- ?

With all cultivated crops it is quite an . item to have the soil clean and in a good 1 tilth so that the cultivation can bs commenced n&soon as possible. Work is always pressing in the spring and it is not only an item to save time but also to get ; the work done in good season, and with j the ground well plowed in advance by i using the plow and cultivator a good tilth can be secured with much less work than would he necessary if the ground must first be plowed and then worked in to a good tilth, while the results will be fully as satisfactory. - Nebraska Farmer. t'SK OK TIIK WHIP. The whip should be utterly abolished as a weapon for compelling the service of trained draught animals. It is useful in ; the training when rightly used for the purpose of teaching sub jection and di recting the movements of young animals. A colt may be touched with it. Imt never punished or struck in anger. Anger, should never lie aroused in any animal, 1 much less in the man who is engaged in teaching his colt to work. A colt prop erly trained from its birth will have no I vicious propensities that need to be whipped ont of him. When it is first saddled or harnessed it needs to be taught that there is nothing to fear, and if, mounted by a boy ami le 1 by an older ! person until it learns what is to be done, it may need to be touched by a light whip, if it has not a I read 3' been taught , 1 to lead, or, if in harness, it has not id- 1 ready been used to the lightest work. It would fully double the usefulness and 1 value of nil our working : 11 ittiafs if .the < whip were abolished altogether its it weapon of punishment and used only for j the purpose of guidance, and Vuealr^v, rs ( understood their business es \vcU fenrtuic animals which lutvc been properly traine I 1 to it.

The custom is to raise the " crop 011 the same land year after year, as v the soil is not easily rid of the rootlets that break off and remain, sprouting in spring sometimes from the bottom of the " furrow where the plow cut then olT in a the fall. We never raise tie- lirst crop ' 011 sod. but always alter othci crops. Moisture is necessary, but not a damp y soil. We use horse-manure, ten cords a per acre, plowed in fall or spring ami y harrowed well. Hows arc three feet apart a*id setts two feet apart in the ,, row. The selfs are obtained in this wax : 7 When a crop of radish is fathered in fall (l the roots are trimmed of sprugles," . leaving the marketable root ready fot sale; this is done in the liel.l tisnaliy, or it can be done under cover and shelter j ifthe weather be cold or stormy. These small rootlets, otic-half to one-fourth inch through, setts for next season's crop, ' ' are kept over wintei by burying in the ground, where only they will ptescrve :i the freshness necessary to perfect growth. '' A ?ett is a root three to eight inches loin;, and should be dropped in a bole made ^ with a crowbar of the right depth to 1 leaVe the top of the root two inches be- J low the surface; till the soil around the | sett, and leave it to start, which it will do in four to six weeks. This work of 1 , planting in spring is sometimes taupe- i dited by laying the setts along in every i third furrow, and then plowing the soil i upon them. Tiie large roots should not t he used to propagate from, either by I slicing, quartering, or even by planting j the crown; the root when grown take? \ its shape from the sett; and a root dug after one season's growth should lie about ten inches long und two inches i kL V % i ?

'J? od ground can be plowed earlier than ??{ allow, stubble or corn-stalk ground, and vk he sod will have none too long to par- ^ ially decompose before tho corn is dan ted. A good plow for stubble or fallow land s one that moves the furrow-slice with onsiderable force, breaking it up; but g, uch a plow is not a fit one for sod nc (round, for it will leave parts of the furow-slice lying with the grass up, and ^ )thcr parts stauding on edge. The hnr- t>| row will then leave many pieces with the n? grass up, to grow again. The best plow tr for sod is one that turns the furrow-slice J'/, completely upside down, and no more, is without breaking it. Then the plowed <-? ground can he lined without bringing grass to the surface to grow again. w ? - ~ - ? i nw.i in|iiiu > iiiuit' wora I miu suinme in to put iii good condition for tlio wed, nN mill the loss from planting on sod not well prepared is greater than on stuhhle. fa Unless the ground is thoroughly woijtod there will he crevices among and beneath 'J the sods, which will aggravate the effects u| of both drouth and flood. 'Hie pieces of |m sod will constantly interfere with cultiva tion. and if one of these pieces is beneath 01 a hill the corn will likely be torn up by in the cultivator. Neither will the sod be ci so well decomposed and feed the crop. * Another reason for Careful preparation pi of the sod is that it is often infested yi with cut worms and other worms. The * more the ground is stirred, the more of ()| these will he destroyed; and planting |. may safely be deferred until the cut *? worms have passed their voracious period * and will do little damage. Quite freipicntly sod ground, and especially clov tv< er-sod ground, contains so many cut- j "" worms that it. is not advisable to plant it j '1 until quite late. Only a poor stand will i a|| remain, bast spring I allowed a forty- j ;n acre clover-sod Held to lie a month aftei j ,UJ it was almost ready for the planter. One j of the employes became very impatient, j ami thought I was wrong not to plant at , j()i once, as some of my neighbors had done. p( lint much of their corn was cut oil" by the i Y worms, and they had only a poor stand, . with some hills a month behind the oth- I ers. When I planted I had a most ex- j lie eel lent stand and the Held averaged be eighty bushels, shelled, per acre. On soil ground thoroughly prepared corn i 8t, grows so fast that it is safe to defer ' an planting until quite late, and this ground tn is not apt to he hardened by rains as is | other ground.?Anuriciin A'/riculturinf.
