When the fertilizer (if a superphos
phate or other commercial manure, i
at about equal co-t, at the rate of
50ulb-, per acre) has been spread, it
is a ptod practice to remove the hind
teeth from an ordinary cultivator so
as to adapt it U the width of the
furrow, and pass it onee orer the fer
tilizer, thus incorporating it with tbe
soil. That done, the soil removed ia
f.rming the furrows, and little more
obtained on the opposite side is re
turned. This process will be found
to form a ridge s .mc inches higher
t .an ih2 level cf the adjacent land.
As it is not desirable ia our cli
mate, where heal an 1 drought (rath
ihan e xcess of moisture, as in Eng
land, from whence the practice is de
rived) prevails, we backdown to the
ridges until they are nearly level, and
which brings the seed about to be
sown rear the manure, so important
to stimulate the young plant. Every
thing being row ready for sowing,
with a Mathews' drill, which is made
to open the furrow, deposit the seed,
close the furrow, and roll in the seed
if necessary, we proceed to sow
The
drili should be adjusted to sow not
less than two pounds of seed and
one-half feet apart not that so much
see 1 is necessary, if any considerable
percentage vegitatcs, and escapes
the (ly, the scorching sun, and other
unfavorable Influences. It is probable
that if two ounces of seed could be
evenly distributed, each grain germi
nate, and finally succeed, there would
be a sufficient number of plants to
the acre; but it would be a very
unwise procedure to stint the seed
to (avc (for the present moment only)
the pocket The English, to whom
we look for instruction in root culture,
ue much more than two pounds per
arre, but the turnip has been so gen
erally grown in their country for gen
orations, that tbe " fly," fed anJ pam
pered, has become a most formidable
pest; so much so that great difficulty
is sometimes found in securing n
" stand. "
If the sowing, which we have
just described, should by any acci
dent have failed, pass along the ridg
ts a spike tooth harrow to destroy
any weed seeds which may have
sprouted, and re-sow as before. If.
from the time lost, it may be deemed
too late to perfect a crop of rutu
bagas with certainty, it may be bet
ter to make the re-sowing with flat
turnips, which mature iu a shorter
season.
Supposiug the first sowing a suc
cess, allow the plants to reach tbo
rough or second leaf, then proceed j
thu. Taking a light two-inch steel J
hoe in hand, and standing so as to
bring a corner of the hoc ia an ob
lique direction with respect to the
line of plants, and near to them, the
operator walks backward, drawing
the hoe gently, end slightly skimming
the surface of the soil, and with it all
young weeds which may have sprung
up cotemporary with the crop; re
turning the opposite side of the row er
drill is aken, thus leaving only a
narrow line of turnip plants nearly
free from weeds. After a few days,
when they have grown somewhat
stronger, and arc too rank for the fly
to injure seriously, they may be
"clumped." which is performed bv
taking a sharp, light steel hoc of
suitable size, say two inches wide,
and standing facing the row, cut
crosswise, so as to leave clumps cf
plants at intervals of four to five
inches At first the operator will
-ut timiily, learing to destroy too
many; but in a little while he will
have gaiued courage, and proceed
with increasing speed. It is surpri
sing wiih what celerity such work
may be performed by an expert, which
any one may becoma with an hour's
practice. We have boya who can
pass along a row, cutting as they go,
at half the usual walking speed.
When the plants left in clunips have
fully recovered from the disturbance
which is unavoidable, and again
stand errect, the process of "sin gling"
commences this is simply pulling out
with the Cnger and thumb snd cast
ing aside all but the most promising
plant in each group or clump.
After the elapse of a few days
when the selected plants fcavo be
come upright end self-sustaining, a
very shallow furrow .may be cat
from each side, the earth thus re
moved meeting in a ridge between
the rows. If the weather is damp
they may stand a few days, each day
adding greatly to their strength; but
if the weather be hot and dry, it is
better to proceed at oice with the
hoeing, which done, the ridge of
earth is to be leveled down by a spike
tooth barrow, or, in its absence, a
cultivator with well worn teeth,
taking care not to cast the-carth tip-

I'd n Is In the IIorc Stable
Fowls should never bo permitted,
vs the New York l"m$, to have
access to the. horse stable, the feed
room nor the bay mow. Their rooms
should bo entirely separate from the
stable, so that they may not always
be ready to siip in, whenever a door
is opened; and that the vermin which
infest poultry may not reach horses
and cattle.
It is a well known fact tha
fowls
of all kinds frequently drop a very
sordid, offensive, clammy, vicious
odor; and when allowed to go on the
haymow, in the feeding room, or
anywhere ia the barn, they damage
the fodder then we are wont to sup
pose. We would almost a.s soon al
low fowls to live ia the kitchen, to
hop on the dinner table while we are
eating, and to roost on our beadstead,
as to allow them to have free access
to the horse stable and barn.
Some horses arc always afraid of
fowls: and when one enters the man-
! ger. or rack, the timid horses will im-
mediately surrender their entire right
however hungry they may be, to
these lawless marauders. And after
they have scratched ovc: their feed
with their feul feet, and smeared a
portion of it with their filthy crrop
pings, a horse will be hungry indeed
before he will cat his mess. Many
a hungry horse has been deprived of
his feeding of grain by a lot of these
bold, pa'ltnacious robbers that have
learned when and where to fill their
empty crops with the feed of a jaded
horse. Let gates and bars exclude
fowls and pigeons from the doors and
wind i ws of all horse stables.

Next to Laving jrood cows is the
importance of Laving milking well
and property done. Cows iou!d be
put into some secure place to milk,
cither in a barn or f-Led cxpres.-Iy for
that purjioje, with a good ventilation
for wann v. eitLer. TLe practice of
milking cows running looe in the
yard is inconvenient and disagreeable;
Dcit'jer can it be done as cleanly as in
stanchions; nor will they do as well
out-of-doors, where they are the
the greater part of the season teased
by flies. There should be a? much
uniformity in the hours of milking as
possible. Ueforc commencing to miik
the udder should be entirely clean,
and each milker should milk the same
through the season end ia the same
cows order. Harsh treatment sLoulJ
never be tcle:ated;ftr cows that r.not
weii lreatcl wi.i not give so great
a flow of miik as when used rrcntlv.

This term, as npplied to the United
States, originated in a playful remark
onVarddngton. The incident is this:
When General Washington, after be
ing appniate-1 commander of the army
nf the ilevoluiiuii.iry War, went to
MasFaehusvtta to organize it, he
found a great want of ammunition
and other means of defense, and on
the occasion it seemed that no means
could be devised for the necessary
safety. Jonathan Thumbull, the el
der, was then Governor of the State
of Connecticut; and the General,
placing the greatest reliance on Lis
excellency's judgment, remarked,
"We must consult Brother Jonathan
on the subject." TLe General did so
and the Governor was successful , in
supplying many of the wants of the
army; and thenceforward, whoa diffi
culties arose, and the army was
spread over tbe country, it became a
byplirasc. "We must consult Broth
er Jonathan;"' and the came now Las
become designation for the whole
countrv, as John Dull Las for Eng
land. "

Christopher didn t believe in maxims

When this boy was a. year oi ler

' Spent it for soda, ch?" she replied.
"Here your poor mother is working
like a ilave, and you are around swil-
Ming soda wp'.er! I don't think you 11
swill any more, I don't! Come over

And she agitated him in the live
icst manner. That night as he turn
ed on his downy strawbed the boy
I made up his mind that honesty didn't
pa-, end ho resolved to cheat tne
whole world if he could.
When Christopher was a half year
older he came across the injunction,
"He kind to the poor." lie did not
know whether it would pay or not,
but he set about it. lie knew of a
poor woman who sadly needed a
spring bonnet, and took over his
mother's, along with a few other
things, including his father's second
paircf boots, his own Sunday shoes
and so on. lie went around feeling
very big hearted until the old gent
wanted to go to lhe. lodge one night
and then it came out.

"Gin a war mv boots, eh: inqu
cd the father; "lugged your mother's
best bonnet off, cb? Well. I don't
think you'll remember the poor very
much later to-night!"
And he pounded Christopher Co
lumbus with a pump ban lie until the
boy fainted away, and never made a
thorough job of it.
They fooled the boy once more,
lie heard a rich man say that every
body should "make hay while the
sun shone." So when there came a
suny day he went out, took his fath
ers scythe down from the plum tree
and went to making hay. He broke
the scythe, cut down tbe tulips and
hacked his sister in the heel, and his
mother came out and led him around
by the hair and bounced bim until he
almost went into a decline. They
couldn't bamboozle this boy after
that. He grew wicked every day of
his life, and before his eighteenth
birth dny arrived he was hung for
murder. He said he didn't care a
huckleberry about it, and died with
out making the usual Fourth of July
oration.

Hereditary lalltimrr.
I'arer.ts aware of their own tend
ency to infirmities of body and mind
should be unceasing in their vigilance
over their children, so as to prevent
j predisposition from becoming a habit.
r or exampie, a child or parents prone
to epilepsy, apoplexy or insanity, and
who displays precocity of mind and
great vivacity of feeling, should be
kept from all irritants, cither in
shape of food, or drinks, or applica
i tions to the outer senses, from strong
j appeals to the feelings, and be en-
couraged to bodily exerciso rather
than to book-tastes, to hasten the
development of the intclectnal facul
ties beyond their strength. TLe
very early activity of an organ, the
consequence of its premature devel
opment, so far from being a reason
for tasking it to greater exercise,
should, on tbe contrary, be the sign
for dismising the supply of stimuli cr
agents capable of still further excit
ing it. But however good and per
fect the home discipline, it cannot be
successful without the hearty co-op
eration of the sensible school instruc
tor, who not only ought to under

able to teach the full use of the limbs,
and Low to wear a graceful carriage,
as to lead the pupils through all the

"Fioeks and herds must drink,"
said a Russian general to n.e years
ago, who had himself practiced what
he preached with terrible effect.
"Flocks and herds must drink,
and so must men ; cut them off from
water and you have them." And
this method is still looked to by Rus
sia as a 'sure weapon for tne wcrk
that remains to be done. More than
once during my journey from Tash
kent toward the Hockhariotc frontier,
I remarked to the officers whom 1
met on the way, "You will have ea
sy work with Rokhara when you do
invade it," and the answer was al
ways the same, "We shall never need
to invade it ; we have only to cut off
the water (which runs from us to
them) and they must give in without
firing a shot."'
Defective I'liio.
A correspondent of the Ciiicinuatti
Commercial gives the following prac
tical answer to the question :
"The quastion is often asked,
'What is a defective flue?' It is a
flue that has open, unpiastered joints
in the brick work through which
(lames or sparks can pass into the
spaces between the floors and ceil
ings, or ia which soot can accumu
late and take fire. If the joints In
the bricks of tbe flue are carefully cov
ered with mortar, no joints built into
or touching it, and no floor or wood
work allowed to come in contact with
it, the owner cf such a flew can re-
tire to sleep with a mind at case oa
.1 . c . r. n : 1
Uiai score, rsaiu uues iu jiuu.-cs uuut
by contract arc exceptions, as the
the contractor sub lets to the brick
layer, and he does not feel responsi- i
blc to the owner, who gets a ucfec
tive flue unless he stands by and
bosses the job. If he does nut he
must chance .it. I have had seme
eight or ten flues built for ovens heat
ed to a white heat, but have always
stood bv to see that every joint was
well closed, as the first flu; I used
fired the building. The last one
I built was so dangerous passing
through a Lay-Lit that, rather than
trust it to others, I buiit it myself;
and although it made the loft unbear
ably Lot, I felt perfectly safe, and
used it for three years constantly.
Another cause cf frequent fires is the
careless use of matches. A porter
in a store sent into a dark cellar cr
upper story goes with a lot of match
es to strike v.Lile Lunting what Le
wants; the match is thrown down : if
it goes out, good ; if not, and there is
straw, paper, shavings, moss or rags
lying around loose; presto! there
you Lave a spontaneous combustion.
Always take a lantern, and let it be a
globe lanters, fed with lard or sperm
oil. In looking back through a busi
ness life in Cincinnati of tLirty years,
I find that Cre originated eight times
on my premises, all, however, got

A New York lad" of large experi
ence in dairy management gives the
following directions fr making good
butter :
In the first place, the milk must be
brought into the dairy Louse clean;
see that the milkers do their part
nicely, for you cannot, v.-ith all the
cleaning and scalding of pails and
pans, make a delicious, nutty-flavorcd
quality of butter, if straws, soaked
in impurity, adhere to tb: udder, and
from thence fall into the milk iai!.

two inches is as deep as milk should
be set for all all the cream to rise be
fore the milk sours. And the b. si
time to skim the cream is just as you
caa detect a change or slight add,
which is generally in from "thirty to
thirty-sis hours- The reason is, the
butter is sweeter and better in color,
and you get more from tha same
quantity of milk than you can if the
cream remains on the milk until it
La3 become quite thick and sour. 1
churn every day ia warm weather,
and cream should never be kept long
er than three days in a cool place.
The temperature for churning with
me is CO degrees ia summer and C2
to fi-1 degrees in winter. I think that
the best churn is the Eureka. V.'c
are doing the churning now ia from
one to two minutes, and in winter we
have not at any time exceeded four
minutes. I thoroughly rinse my but
ter, but handle gently with a wooden
ladle ; then salt with the best dairy
barrel salt, one ounce of suit to a
pound oi butter ; mix ia tLorougLly,
being careful to pres.' gently so as
not to break tLc grain ; then let it
stand to become solid, tLcn work
again until dry, but never until it is
oily. If your cream is too warm,
surround your cream pail with cold
water or with ice if you have it, stir
ring the cream until it is brought
round with hot water. Do not put
cold or hot water ia the cream to get
the required temperature. My but
