AGRICULTURAL. Karl. l. rrtr A correipondent writing to the American Agriculturist *y* : "Several years ago you wrote Uiat if any enterprising man liv- ing iu the vicinity of a large village, or two w,three smaller ones, would manage to put his early peas, corn, beets, cm umlwrs, etc., into market a week or two ahead of others, he could get two or three price* for the first offering*. That this could be done by electing a warm dry plot, by draining it well, if needed, by putting in seed very eaily, and protecting with straw or other covering when cold nights or frosts threatened after the plants are up. And especially by the, fol- lowing plan : Have prepared a lot of pieces of soil a foot square or so ; if pretty well rotted and free from fresh grass roots, all the better, but not essential ; moisten them with weak liquid manure from the barnyard. Into this, marked off into little squares of the M/I! required by different plants, put peas, corn, etc. , one seed iu a sq uare. Place several rows of these sod* along the south side of a board fence. Keep them sufficient- ly moist to sprout the seeds and start the growth, using larger pieces for potatoes. On cold nights cover with coarse cotton cl ith, which may afterward be bleached and cut up for family use, or have straw at baud to throw over when needed. When the warm, settled weather arrives and the ground is all ready, with plenty of well- . rotted manure worked iu, cut the sods into squares, so that each piece will have a plant in it with two or three weeks of growth already made. Put these pieces in the ground at proper distances ; plants go right on with their growth, aud thus much time may be gained iu the maturity. "I acted upon this advice, extruding the operation largely ; had my sods prepared in autumn, and well frozen in winter, and on a small area got seed enough started thus to plant over two acres. My early garden tulf was the town talk, brought in a heap of money, and in this way I wo* able to pay for that land and get forehanded enough to put up those buildings, and I don't owe a cent. Unlusi 1'nllarr. In answer to an inquiry on tins lubject Currie'i Monthly says that when circum- stance* are favorable, onion culture is profit able. The best soil is drained swamp land, such soil seeming to contain just what the onion craves. Where there is a swamp that can be used for the purpose, cut ditches so that the soil may be just dried enough at the surfaas to work. Moisture i* necessary to produce the finest onion. After ditch- ing, free from all obstacles to free cultiv- ation. Then plow, and as thoroughly pre- pare as possible, and thoroughly cultivate. Upon other kinds of soil pulverize and ma- nure heavily. Manure the swamp land, too, for th t matter. The manure should be well rotted and tine, and thoroughly nixed with the nl. The Acme pulverizing harrow is a capital instrument for pulverizing and mixing the manure. Superphosphates of lime, ashes, salt, night soil mixed with earth, are all good fertilizers for the onion. It is recommended to apply 600 pound* of sufierphosphate, .'10 btuhels of ashes and five bushel* of salt to the acre. Sow from 12 to 2O pounds of seed to the acre. The '.Vethen- rii-1.1 is a good keeper and the Yellow Dan- vers is very prolific. The While Clobe i* the mildest in flavor. There i* a hand 'lull for sowing, and it* use is very convenient. Have the rows a foot apart. Keep the weeds out. Some of the bulbs will produce teed steni. Break these down. A bundle of brush drtwn over them will do this. The maggot is the great enemy of the onion. Prof. Kiley advises as a preventive of this pest, to trim the land early in spring with a mixture of lime and ashes, preferably wood.tshes. This mixture should be lightly spread over thc land after plowing aud har- rowed in. If, after the need is sown, and the plants begin to come up, the worms ap- pear and threaten damage, employ the pois- oned 1*11 system, which, in brief, consists in placing along ,he rows, at a distance of 15 or 'JO feet apart, amall bunches of fresh cut grass or other green plant: cabbage leaves answer a good purpose. These bunches of grass or green plant should pre- viously be sprinkled with P;iri green or London purple. r>Mls-allc the reallry HOSMC. To fumigate a poultry house with sulphur the first point is to guard against tire ; hence some material must l- used that will not communicates heat to the building. Sulphur burns only for a short time, as it in. -Its and smothers the tire. An excellent mode i* to u*e a piece of sheet-iron. Heat it until red hot and place it on a brick. Then sprinkle sulphur liberally on the heated iron, placing the brick first in the center of the poultry- house. If preferred, the cheap fumigatora sold by seedsmen may lie used. To insure success, every portion of the poullry-ou*e must be tight tnd close, all cracks being tilled. Whin the. match is applied to the sulphur, the attendant must quickly step outside and close the door. The door should not be opened for two hour*. The greater the volume >t .sulphur gas the better. All pansof water must be it-moved hcforu burn- ing the sulphur, as water absorbs the gas. Sulphur gas, or sulphur dioxide, as it is called, i* very heavy and settles to the fl<M>r an soon as it Income* cold, penetrating every ralhok- in the ground and destroying every living creature with which it comes in contact. If the house is close and tight all the lice will be destroyed, as well as the germs of desease ; but a single air hole will render the effort useless. ment by which the bucket is suspended be- neath it* mouth. Lastly, th* sap-buckets are hung. The average size ia twelve quarts, though sixteen quarts i* a bettor size." Then come* the process of boiiing : ** In a brick framework in the bngar ho.ise is set an iron arch with a square iron chimney. In this arch i* set the evaporator, a deep boiling-pan in front and four smaller and shallower pan* farther hack. The bottom of the evaporator is deeply corrugated, nearly doubling the surface, exposed to the heat. Kapid trailing is a great point in sugar- making the shorter the time from nap to syrup the better the quality. The ssp in the holder or store tank flows thrssigh a strainer and rubber hose into a regulator, which is adjusted by automatic gauge to keep the supply in the boiling pan at a cer- Um depth. When the sap in the boiling- pan has reached a certain stage in evapora- tion, it is emptied into the pan next back by means of a siphon, which remove* only the syrup, leaving the scuin behind. The boiling- pan is again tilled with frexh sap and the process repeated. When the liquid is strained into the fourth pan, it has become the syrup of commerce. " At this point the sugar maker removes the pan from the ar h, and rapidly itirs the syrup until sufficiently cool, when it is turned into tubs holding from 1O to 100 pounds each, and there forms the sugar cakes.

Wet the plant* you wished to send before taking up ; then shake off all the earth that does not readily adhere to the roots, and after laying some wet mow on the oiled paper at the bottom of the box, ' place iu the plants laying more mo*s over the roots. Proceed in this way till the box is tilled, being sure to put in sufficient muss to make firm ; then fold over the oiled paper and fasten down the cover. When ! tne wetuher i* very hut, it is a good plan to ; out an opening in one end ol the box, al- most an inch square, to let in the air and prevent healing. When received by mail or otherwise, unpack with care, place the roots in a basin of wai m water, and let them remain an hour or two or till the leaves have revived. Then separate and dip the roots of each plant in tine sand (scouring sand), roll them in it till well covered, ami plant in good compost. Use small pots ; those three inches across the top are sufficiently large for the average plant sent by mail. Place a piece of broken crockery at the bottom, till ODD third full of earth, then press in the roots anil till tightly with the soil. Water but not too much, keep in the shade for a faw days, and in a week they will have taken root in their new quarters and h. -1:1111 growing. Ballrwd KnllUinx la Africa. Two railroad projects of great interest are now developing in K.tt Africa. The British Government has been authoriz- ed by Parliament to pay a large part of HIM expense of the preliminary surrey for the railroad from Mombasa to Victoria Nyauza. This insures the completion of the survey, and ample capital to build the railroad is assured. It is admitted that this road will practically end the stare trade in the Vic- toria Nyanza region. Slaves are still caught there in large numbers, and are used as porters to take to the coast the ivory and other merchandise of the Arab traders. The slave tratiic is now carried on chiefly to obtain porters, but when a railroad run* from the lake to the sna the Arabs will use it a quicker, safer, and cheaper meant of transportation. The railrotd will live a profound influence upon the Vicfirm ! Nyan/.a region, and it is certain that the resources of that part of inner Africa, can- not be developi-d nun I it is built. The | other project will be completed first. Tin* . is the road from Port Ik-ira on the Indian ; Ocean, about -J.">0 mile* wert to Mashona- land. The capital for this road has been "iil.M-rihad, Iiolh tin 1 Portuguese Mozam- ! bique and the British South Africa, com- panies are represented in the Board of Con- trol, and the construction of the line is to begin next month. Track laying will be extended far toward Mashonaland by the end of the year. It is a remarkable illus- tration of the rapid progress of events in Africa, th.it projects arc noon to 1m rcah/ed, which will enable the ordinary traveller to reach without discomfort regions that were so long a great mystery, and the story of whose exploration l>aa been followed by the world with no much interest. urn OHHTII VALLEY.
