AGRICULTURAL.

MIK'iKG MAPLE SUflAR.1' —u.. \f Winter, counting by the mouths which make upj'tbe season, is already nearly exhausted. A few days moro will ,'b»ng about the sugar season in ,what is commonly denominated "the bush.'

Hence it is time for those who have the trees, for the production of this saeharine luxury, to be prepared for the runj'Jiihg 'season that not a day may j)e lost when the maple trees are ready to '"bleed as some of the backwoodsmen used to. phrase it. Where sugar making has bo'-: come a settled institution it is presumed that the buckets for catching the sap, aud the necessary fixtures for storing and evaporating it, are iu order for use, or can be readily made so but in new sections of country—if any such are left— the case may be different. Hence a few words about the necessary preparations way not be untimely or inappropriate.

At points where sap buckets are not easily attainable, reliance must be placed upon a substitute, in the shape of a sap trough—an article rapidly manufactured by a good ax-man, if timber suited to the purpose is at hand. The manner of making these need not be described, and the matter \s only alluded to as a hint to be ready when the sugar-making season

arrives. When everything is prepared for catching, storing and evaporating the maple fluid, much has been done toward a suc

cessful sugar season but to make good sugar, or molasses, even, requires considerable care, and some experience in the business. And here it should be remarked aud remembered that care and cleanliness are essential to the production ot a good article of sugar. If leaves, decayed pieces of wood and coals from the fire are allowed to boil in the sap, while evaporation is going on, it will be impossible otto raaVe c\ean sugar, while the taste of the article will be impaired by these foreign ingredients. To exclude them all may be an impossibility, but the amount may be greatly leased by proper attention +:in straining the sap before it goes to the '^boilers, and screcuing it during the process of ebullition. JIueh will depend, too, ou cleansing the sirup after it is in a proper state for ''sugaring off" To raise the impurities to the surface a mild degree of heat should be used, and in no ease ought the fluid to be allowed to boil till the skimming is completed. When this is done the ebullition may go on, but the fire should be confined to the bottom of the evaporator, aud not allowed to^ play up the sides, as burning is almost certain to follow from such an application ot \100A..

Potatoes—Varieties—Yield. In the Cultivator and Couutry Gentleman we find a communication from Jonathan Tallcott of Rome, N. Y., giving his experience, during the past season, in the cultivation of several varieties of potatoes. The soil planted on was saudy gravel, about one-third of which was used for potatoes the previous year. Twelve varieties were planted the last season and produced, per acre, as follows: —Dykeman, 200 bushels, rotted about one-half. Jackson UTiite, 150 bushels, first rate some rot, but less then Dykeman. Early Goodrich, 36 bushels from half Boed, best yield the grower ever had product good and will be a favorite variety for the next season. Ohio Russet, cc^ual to 200 bushels per acre good potato .and not much affected by the rot.

Garnet Chili, 300 bushels per acre large sized and but little affected by the rot Fluke, a good baking potato fair yielder, but not likely to be popular in that region. Calico, a moderate yield and not promising for cultivation. Gleason, yield 24 bushels from half bushel seed ft. promising variety. White Peachblou., yields well but is insipid, not a favorite Jersey Peachllow the same. Carter, a superior table potato, but much affected by the rot their want of hardihood is against them. Prince Albert, a good variety and yielding about 300 bushels to the acre its table qualities commend it for cultivation.

Hard Milking Cows.—

A correspondent writes us from Washington.Co., N. Y., that he permanently cured a young heifer of hard milking by using'the knife on her teats. The teat was squeezed and while the milk was running the orifice was enlarged with a very sharp\lade sufficiently to allow the stream of .milk to flow freely. When the wound healed, the opening was restricted again though somewhat larger than before. After two or three cuttings, however, the heifer was rendered permanently an easy milker. The operation is not a painful •one or difficult to perform.

JUDGING

from the cry of "hard times"

that is coming from every section of the country, we imagine that bare backs and empty bellies will teach some folks a lesbod in apolitical point of view, that com.mon sfinse has heretofore failed to impress upon their understanding. If the financial orash, that' is now threatening comes —and cannot'see how it is to be averted—manj who have voted for the negM-bureauv^rilflwish' that institution "was in HalifaX—j4//en Uoiinty Democ.at.
