TUB FARM. A bpecies of wild potato has been c'Usoovered on the table lands of Soiith- , western. Arizona, in altitudes of 8,000 to :L2,000 feet, which is spoken of as

superiojc in taste anl flavor lo the best cultivated potatoes. Experiments are being made in the cultivation of the plant in the State Agricultural School of California. Ornamental Hedge. The Prairie Farmer mentions for this purpose the Japan Quince as being highly recom mended in some quarters. It is hardy, and does not throw up suckers and epread. The common sort, with scarlet bloom, though beautiful, is not the best for this purpose. It seldom bears fruit, but other varieties fruit considerfcbly, and the seedlings from them grow and bear transplanting well; and their varied bloom renders them a highly ornamental and conspicuous hedge plant. Limino Meadows. Liming meadows or old pasture lands, with say thirty bushels to the acre, has an effect upon the crop that few farmers would believe without giving it a trial. In fact we do not know how the same amount of money can be expended upon land frith the same profit. We have known farmers to pasture meadows fifty years vriuhout being turned up by the simple application of lime once in six to ten years. These pastures, which are regarded as permanent and mostly abound in clay molds, after being grazed down thoroughly, are restored almost knee-deep in from five to six weeks. We do not hesitate to say that nowhere has lime a more marked effect and can be used with better results than in the renovation of old pastures. -GermmtovDn Telegraph. Manuring fob Special Products. The science of manuring has not been so far developed as to point ont the best manures to apply for the growth of special products in plants, although something has been learned in that direction; yet it is not more thaja merely a hint as to what may be learned. Prof. Weber, of the Illinois University, found that by the application of superphosphate to sorghum it shortened the maturity of the cane by sixteen days, and increased the amount of cane sugar contained in the stalks over 1 per cent. Whether this increased percentage will pay for the cost of the application is not stated, but probably it would; then the earliness is also a matter of much value in using inachiiiery on a crop usually of short duration. Peakct Odltdre. Peanuts succeed best in rather light soil, a light grey, sandy loam being usually best, as the color of the pods partake of the color of tho soil, and a brown soil gives a crop the color of which, reduces the market price. A good preparation is a crop of corn the previous year, which has been kept clear of weeds. The seed may be planted in drills three feet apart, and the seed ten inches or a foot apart in the drill, or two seed may be planted together a foot and a half apart. Lime is essential, and if the soil is not calcareous, or has not been previously limed, it is well to give a thin coat broadcast, at the rate of about ten or fifteen bushels an acre, before planting. We see no reason why a suitable drill ma,y not be used for putting in the seed. Superphosphate is useful on most peanut soils. The time for planting is about the middle of May. Keep the ground perfectly clean by cultiva-ti.a&.-r-Country Gentleman. . Washing Prtjit Trees. There are insects common to all trees, and it is, only by constant care that we can get satisfaction from our trees. On the pear and apple there is a scale insect which attaches itself to the bark and injures the trees if allowed to remain. It is known that any greasy matter is death to insects. Thus there are many compounds of this nature used for washing trees. One form of wash is made by adding one pound of whaleoil oap to three gallons of warm water, stirring well and applying with a stiff bro3m or brush. The trunk should be rubbed thoroughly and hard, to remove as ranch as possible of loose bark, so thai; the liquid may reach every part of the surface. Another good wash is a weak lye from wood ashes. A third wasii is made by adding t vo quarts of soft water to one gallon of soft soap. Place these in a vessel over the fire, and, when warm, the scap and water reai ily combine by stirring,, and should be applied like the whale-oil application . The best results are obtained by washing the tree about three times during the season, applying the first in March or April, the second in June and the last in August. The insects, as well, as moss, will be effectually removed, leaving the bark in s fine healthy condition. Hgw to Raise Cabves. A correspondent of the Boston Mirror writes: If I wish to raise a calf droppad in winter, I let it lie with the cow one or two days and let it suck as much and as often as it pleases, until the cow's. udder is caked. I then milk all I can J before the calf sucks. After the first

two days I take the calf awav. nd let

it go to its mother only twice a day until a eek ot, tejays old; tlien le him go plthoro onepeed, so as to be pretty hmngry;; tliejiput my fingers ia thesWarni nk and,; put them in his mouth, at the same' time bearing lis nose down into the warm milk in the pail, and so soon as he gets weE sucking slip the fingers from the mouth and let the calf drink, if he will, a few swallows; if not, repeat the operation, two or three times, until he gets a good taste of the milk; then leave him until the next feeding time, and then try him in the same way, and if he will not drink, le& him go until he will. Few will go beyond the third time trying. I seldom have one which will not drink some the second time. When they get so they will drink, it is a good plan not to give them a full mess for two or three days, but let them, be rather hungry, at each time of feeding, until they get the habit of drinking well formed As soon as this is done, place a trough or dish with some meal in it in such a situation that they cannot turn it over. Nail it np against the side of the stall or pen in which the calf is kept, but convenient to get at, and let him eat all he wilL which will not be very much. Place a little hay so he can get it, either rowen or early-cut herdsgrass is best The best meal for a young calf is a mixture of oats and corn, ground in the cob, two bushels of the former to one of the latter.. At four weeks old, skimmed milk slightly warmed may be substituted for ner milk, but for a while should' not- be allowed to stand until it gets very sour. After eight weeks, they may be fed and will do well, if given a fair allowance of meal upon milk that is ever so old and sour. . THE KITCHEN Vegetables should be fresh and ripe, well washed, and when -peeled should be laid in cold water some time before . using. Let water boil from beginniiigto end oit' cooking. White Mountain Cake. Two cups sugar, two eggs, one cup sweet milk three and one-half eups flour, oue-helf cup butter, one teaspoonful soda, twotea spoonfuls cream tartar and one tear spoonful lemon.
