Agricultural and Domestic.

A few Facts in Fanning-. Put out potatoes early, all kinds. Put out ns warly as the ground will admit, and cover or ttix inches of dirt. Plant rows $7 inches apart, hills the .row 12 to 15 inches. Bow your oats as early as you ban well get them ih—on the first mellow groirthl. Put d<» not sow if only the top is mellow and the soil below wet. The oat is hardy,and will stand the cold Peas should also be sown early, and not on ground too rich, or that has been cropped with peas. Do not sow plaster, as there will be too great a growth of straw, which will flatten down and mildew, and defeat what otherwise might Lave been a good crop. Remember that gross lands need mojpture. They need it more than grain or almost any other plant. Irrigation is put first to secure this; thorough drainage, and mellowing the soil next; and a good close stand of a variety of grasses, is another help. As much a« may be put to grass select the moistest lots.

In changing a moist soil by drainage, you change its weeds. Drainage is death to many weeds. If your kind is worn out, many chances to one it will improve it by deep plowing—l mean till up to the beam.— This may not benefit it for a year or two. But it will not lie much worse than it was before, being worn out and nonpaying. A little manure thrown over it—and if it is much it will not hurt it—will prepare the ground, raw as it is, for grass. The sun and the manure, in connection with the rains, and the frost previously —for the land should be plowed in the fall —<will s<> ameliorate the top soil as to insure a good seeding and a fair crop. In a few yearn more, whether kept to grass or plowed, there will be an improvement for the better, and that decidedly, and it will be lasting, that is, it will have another run as it had before —and if underdrained and subsoiled, and thoroughly cultivated, will be better than ever before. This is experience with us. We tried it on a hill of some eight acres. The soil was drift with considerable clay in it, not rich naturally, Lut producing something beyond expenses, *Vc. For the first few years, after the soil was inverted, • there was .no growth, the crops were*a fail- - nre - After that they surpassed ~ the original productiveneS, and were more remunerative than before.—Zz ait -if / arm er.

Spring Care.

Mrs Tupper says, in the Hural World} “As soon as bees fly freely in the spring, it is important to examine every hive, and know its exact condition? If the bees are in a movable comb hive, it is easy, by lifting out the frames, to see the amount of the stores, and also to discover, by the presence or absence of brood,if the colony has a queen. It is also easy, with bees in these hives, to supply their wants. If a colony has too little honey, it may have a frame or two of comb, containing honey, given to it from one that can spare it. If neither eggs nor brood, in any stage, are found in the hive, you may lie sure the colony is queenless. At an early period it is not usually best to attempt to supply the loss. The frames bees, and all, may be put with some other that can make room for them. They will not quarrel, but unite peaceably. Queenless bees are not disposed to quarrel, and other bees will not trouble them if in this condition.”

—-A housekeeper writes; “Having some stone jars in which lard had been packed until they became unfit for use, I made them perfectly tweet by packing them full of fresh earth and letting it remain two or three weeks. This is an ex* neriment with me, and I suspect •t would be equally effective in any ease of foul earthern -er >tone ware.”

Setting Hedge Plants.

I think the befit plan, for a farmer, iu setting out hedge is to t-et plants from G to b inches apart, as some .plants are very apt to die out, and it is a hard matter to get re-plan'ts to catch up with those that' have had one year the start. — ’ By setting G or 8 inches apart you will sure of a I good stand the first year.— Hedge should be lopped when about 4 years old, if plants have.'been well cultivated. We use the word lopped or lopping in this section, and I think it conveys the meaning better than the word’ “plash,” or ■‘plashing.”— Prairie Farmer..

Bums vs. Fruit.—-We often see inquiries in our agricultural exchanges, as to the best means of preventing birds from destroying fruit. The answers to this inquiry are almost as various as the birds, and most of them ace, as diflicult to apply as the birds are to catch. The most effective plan we have ever tried was, by killing ourself, or hireing some boys t<r kill, a number of Chicken or Sparrow Hawks, skin and stuff them, and place them on the tops of some of the trees in the orchard. But few birds would attack the fruit in an orchard with such ftpparent cneiniesjp meet. Thustuffed Ilawka.can be preserved for years by being carefully put away after the fruit is gathered. Try it.— Ej .

—The prospect is not -encouraging for high prices for potatoes this spring. The markets are well supplied and prices are lower. Last March potatoes sold in Southern and Central Michigan at eighty and eighty-five cents per bushel, and continued high all the spring. As a consequence the farmers of Southern and Central Michigan planted an unusual crop, and the yield being fail - , they have now a large surplus for market. The price in Cincinnati is sixty-five to sixtyeight cents per bushel, and in New York peach-blows have been selling at two dollars and fifty to two dollars and seven-ty-five cents yer barrel. —Wounds in trees if covered with grafting .wax will heal much more rapidly than otherwise. A good article is made as follows: Four pounds of rosbeeswn x, one pound of tallow, melted together. If to be used in cool weather, add a half pound more of the tallow. If the cost of the beeswax is an objcctionable item, the quantity may be reduced one-half or more.. ♦ —Twenty years ago a painter in New York went into the country and bought for ul 10 a tract of land then considered waste land. He took his city wife and located on his farm, and besides living and laying up money, lias added just Al,000 a year to the ralue of his land, the farm now being valued at $20,000. —The country swarms with men selling all sorts of “rights” and patent implements for farmers; Some are good; most are swindles.- In any pase a man shoukl invest money in them only as he would endorse a note- —when he can stand the loss of the money. ■ ... recon.mends a French way of preserving eggs by plunging into a cauldron of boiling water, a colander containing one dozen, and allowing them to remain for one minute. This immersion coagulates a thin layer of albumen on the surface, and the admission of air is thereby prevented.

—The white of an egg, giveTi in sweetened water, is a sure cure for the croup, according to the testimony of a distinguished French physician.— The remedy-must be repeated until a cure is effected. * * • • • ■ ”. 1 ' L - —A Keokuk (Iowa) grape grower has just sold 2,000 gallons*of wine of last .year's vintage for $2,500 cash in hand.
