101 FAKH AND GARDEN.

A correspondent of Gardening sas:
The majority of eoplo havo for so lonpj
been accustomed to draw earth up to
llio items of their potatoes that the
rntice hai come to In looked upon as
idtsolutely ecntial; but it i$ not so in
all i-aes it depends upon tho depth
the ot are placed uador tho surface.
U tha top of the set H 0 inches under
the ground, very little, if any, earthing
i necessary ; and if tho sets aro planto I
7 inches or 8 inch deep, tho crop
will bo better without earthing than
with. The non-earthing plan is all
my well where tlu soil is very light
and deep, but in h.'nvy ground it is not
ttdviabljto plant so deep; then cat th
ing up to prevent tulvrs near tho sur
face getting green is a necessity.
T Pick. Pack una hl Fruit.
A rhi .idlphia ti:m gives iu lollow
iag ditec;i ns for picking, packing and
shipping peuhoJ, plum, pears and
ether ftuit:
Hand pick tho fruit whin fully de
veloped; jut when ready for tho ripen
ing process, but Ivfora thii process has
set in to mellow it. This right time for
picking e ra be seen in tho plumpness
and coloii.ig of the skin.
Handle gently. Discard everything
soft or even mellow averylhinsf imma
ture, bruised, spcckoJ, or in any way
faulty. Very choico dc'icate fruit
should be wrapped like oranges, to m
maud outsidj prices.
Hand pack carefully close, snug and
light; not to mash or bruise the fruit,
but to keep it in place so it cannot rat
tle about, scttlo or shift placo and get
disarranged and chafed in shipment
Do not inc deep basket, larger at top
than at bottom, to wedgo or mash the
fruit. I)j not use tight Luilt boxes to
spoil more or less fruit from stagnant
air. Mot of the common slat veg
etable cratjs are ruinou3 to fruits and
delicate produce.
Use open built ventilatod packages.
A Kicking' Cow.
A kicking cow is managed by putting
a large rope around her body, and tying
up a fore foot close to the body, and
then milking as gently as possible. She
will struggle at first, but kindness and
gentio treatment will soon soothe her
down.
J 1
udder soon alter ca'.ving is tho causo cf
the kicking. My cows kick at their
calves more than at me, becauso the
calves :iro mu. h rougher. Th3 udder
needs the rouh treatment, no doubt,
but the calf is tho one to administer it.
1 keep my cnvs and all my stock well
sheltered day and ni'ht, in roujih
weather, driving thura to water twice a
day, however. 1 hops soon to provide
sor watiria'jr ai tuo uaru. exercise is
good for them, :.nd th7 generally get
it; but I always put them back into
their fetalis when they demand it. 1
keep t loroughbrcd Jerieys as well as

There consiJcrab'e diftrcnco of
opiaioQ in regard to whether harrowinj;
corn 13 profitable or not. As with near
ly all other kinds of farm work circum
stances must bo considered in determin
ing thii qii.-stioa. Some will fiid that
with their soil a id tho way they hav
prepared the grcu id and planted the
crop, harrowing will dam q t'ao crop
far more than the soil will bo benefited;
at the 8am.9 time 'nothcr farmer with a
different preparation and 1 lan ting will
be able to derive a considerable araouut
of benefit, and will, of course consider
it a cheap way of cultivating young
corn.
One item U essential in order to de
rive the lar rest nnvnnt of benefit from
harrowing, thati, the soil should I
thoroughly prepared in a good conditio:'
Leforc planting tin crop. Corn tk.1
ii planted oa land that has not boe:
well prepared, can be seriouily injured
by harrowing, while vrith tho samo soil
thoroughly prepared, considerable bene
fit could bo secured.
Oao advantage, if the soil will pel mit,
h cultivation can begin much earlier
by unng tho harrow than if wo aro
obliged to wait until tho corn has made
a sufficient growth to mo th) cultiva
tor. ThU h often quito an item. Tho
weeds start to grow very soon, and
ofton, if from any cau;c tho cultivation
is delayed, they will securo such a start
that tho labor, or work of keeping tho
crop clear, is considerably increased.
Weed aro destroyed much easier
when small, and by tidng th 3 harrow to
commence tho cultivation, tho work of
extermination can bo begun much
earlier.
Then again hard -beating rains aud
hot sun will causo a crust to form over
tho surface of tho soil, and au early har-
row hg will break this up and givo tho
plants a much bettor opportunity to
grow.
If properly manaod tho harrow can
be mule to fuo the surface of tha soil
very thoioughly and at tho samo timo
destroy tlu weeds that may havo started
up. Tho work can bo don rapidly and
iv.somioilly. lhit in order to securo
ih? 1 est results tho soil should bo thor
oughly prepared before planting and so
far as possible the soil shou d lo suf
ficiently dry to lino readily when tho
cultivation is given. I havj harrowed
corn when I am certain tho work was
very profitable; at other times am equal
ly certain that the profit was very
doubtful--Farm, Fiald and stock

THE RED PLANET.
What a Minute Study of Mars
Has Disclosed. .
Speculations About The "Ca
nals" and Their Builders.
It may be interesting to lovers of as
tronomy to know that tho eminent
French astronomer, Mr. Porrotin, is en
gaged in a rainuto study of Mar?, and
that hh di covorics confirm thoso of
M. Schiaparilli in every particular. It
seems actually tnn that tho longitudinal
stripes which actually circlo round tho
planet aro bodies of water, and must,
according to all laws of probability,
bo artificial. No ono ever saw or con-
ceived a system of parallel rivers from
1000 to 2000 miles long ana
straight as
a plumb line. Everything i3 possible
of course, but such straight rivers it h
impossible to reJoncilo with tho princi
ples of cosmogony as wc understand
them. Oj this piano t, at all event,
nature aidiors a straight lino, and by
analogy it should do so in Mars.
Yet, if thoso bodies of water aro
canals, as Schiaparilli believed and Tor
rotin seem i hardly to doubt, what moa-
strous works thev mmt bo! They are
from 50 to 80 miles wide. Fancy tho
labor of digging such a canal, tho timo
it must havo taken, aud tho number of
workmen it must havo employed. The
pyramids of Eiiypt aro trilling in com
parison. Tho Suez canal is 197 feet
wide at the surface, and the Nicarigua
canal is to be 150 feet; the Martian
canals aro 2800 times wider. Our
canals on this ouc-horso globo
aro consi lered long when they
re ch 100 miles in. length. The
Panama canal will be le3s than
00 miles long. The canals of Mais
reach a longth cf 2000 miles say as "far
as from here to Omaha. What a linfiic
there mut bs to support such enter-
prises! On the waterways of China
travelers describe tho incessant eob and j
flow of multitudinous crowds, but to j
require caunls tf such ditnensi ns as wo
hive described, the movement of traf
fic in M-irs mint be far mora prodigious.

What manner of man lives in Mar?, if
there be men tho re, has always b -en a
favorite topic of speculation. The law
of gravitation tells us that he may be 14
( feet high; not such a son of Anak as
, the inhabitant of tho asteroids, I ut still
; one who would regard the I jlgiaa giant
j as a remarkallo dwarf. Possibly tin
j enormou; public works on Mars may bo
j explained on tho theory that these tall
fcl0Wi can work in proportion to their
stature that ono citizen of Mars can
shovel as much dirt as two and a half
jcnizeil9 of this world.
Whether tho grass of Mars is red as
the oil astronomers averred, modern
telescopes have failed to d cilo. It
is very difficult to dctcrmino colors
when an objict leas collects 30,000
times as much li.ht as normally outers
the human eye. But the speculative
astronomer is safe iu assertion his belief
that M irtian cabbages aro of tho color
of our beet roots as no ono can disprove
the assertion. Sm Francisco Calk
