native ef of the auth 0 of europe but it i is capable of withstanding a more northern clime its roots which are used for dyeing re about as thick as a goose quill and often two or three feet long they are composed of portions united by a kind of articulation round which numerous filaments are given off they contain a fleshy substance is a deep red color without and pale red within toward their upper part they throw out lateral roots which extend horizontally under ground gardund and procure new shoots in fit spring the halum dies on the approach of winter the stems are beveral several feet high they bear ovate or rather lancelotte lance loate leaves arjang arrari gd d in a whirl the flowers are yellow and supported by ped peduncle uncles sp united at their basis in the form of a boquet this plant can be reproduced by seed but the propagation may be more rapidly y effected by planting shoots which are thrown n up u from roots in the spring it must be observed obber red b lio iio wever that plants which from some generations rati eng ens have been propagated in that manner loose their inclination to produce seed some cultivators think it useful to renew from time to time the production of madder from seed madder requires a light humid soil ameliorated by repeated manu rings and recently dunged danged the soil coil is turned up either by the spade alone or jaitly with the plow or if ille the plow alone be used it is made to go as deeply as possible the plants ar are planted in rows two feet apart after every third or fourth row a double space is left when the plants are grown up the moud is removed with a shovel from this last mentioned space and spread out wit among amon the plants BO so that the field then presents the e I 1 appearance of raised beds separated by deep tf s furrows the planting usually takes place in may alid and as tho toe plants do not grow much the first year many cultivators avail themselves ol 01 0 this interval for bowina other the thi land vegetables 0 on 0 on the arnival arrival rival of winter tb the e be beds ds are covered coverer 1 with l tn dung which is again removed with the rake rako at th the F beginning of sprin spring and super fi gic fic c cla cia lally 11 y b buried burled in fit the furrows the plants then put forth vigorously the hollow s spaces aces or furrows are carefully lightened witt with the hoe add and cleared of weeds in the spring of the third year the internals are again hollowed out and the mould thus thug withdrawn from froni them which has been enriched by the remain er of the dung put upon the beds in the autumn of the first bearis year is again spread out among the plan pian plants ts this operation is performed in the same manner as asparagus beds the roots are gathered before winter some cultivators pull them up in the second year abut but this is allowable only when the soil is uncommonly rich and even then the roots do not attain the size gize or quality of those which have been in the ground for three yearb years and hence they are not easily disposed of such is the method which with soule some modifications ficat lons ions is usually followed in the cultivation of madder I 1 madder should be exposed in a well weil alred aired but shady situation to dry it the best mode is to spread it upon hurdles as ais in a tile kiln I 1 ba A N A G in G MILK mile il fi 11 AND MAKING BUTTER the rural new yorker publishes the following I 1 from the pen of a lady in relation to I 1 her method of managing milk and making I 1 butter 1 I use shallow tin pans pang r and nd set the milk a little less than two inches in depth my experience peri ence is more cream can be bad had from the same amount of milk by raisin raisins the pang pans from the shelf allowing a free circulation of air aira around the milk two strips of wood of uniform thickness about six inches in fit lengths length to each pan will answer the pur purpose pobe As soon as the milk thickens I 1 remove the cream into an earthen pan keeping it uncovered and always stir gently atter alter addin adding 7 fresh cream churn twice a week and never allow any water to 0 o get nearer the butter than the outside of a stone churn during the process of churning churn ng I 1 take the butter from the churn with a ladle and salt to taste let it stand t brenty foun four hours and then work byl by taking about one pound at a time this thib is moie mole convenient and can be worked much dryer than by R g the whole mass at once if I 1 for packing I 1 add one tabi spoonful of crushed enger sugar and as much saltpeter a lpeter as will I 1 lie on a three cent piece to th three r ee pounds ol 01 of I 1 butter let it stand a few hou hours r a longer and 1 bork ork again maki g it into s ma 11 rolls and keep it in brine made in the following manner take rain wat water r and as much rock salt as can possibly be made to dissolve by heating beating adding one jone teaspoonful of saltpeter salt sall peter peler to each gallon galion of brine strain through a flannel when cold cad butter keeps heeps sweeter for me without washing i g besides being decidedly better in flavor in my opi opinion nion ninn of course it must be properly worked but should there be a fe rew few w particles of buttermilk allowed to remain the q quality of I 1 the butter will not be injured as much as by the same bame amount of water I 1 pack butter in large stone i jirs irs usina for a weight a common dinner plate and a piece of marble marble marbie I 1 am not in favor of wood wooden en vessels for milk and butter making I 1 suppose we shall shail be obliged to use a wooden n churn dish butter bowl and lad ad e until so some bome me inventive genius takes fakes it into hla hia head to get up I 1 something of a different material in winter I 1 heat beat the milk sligh slightly slight tir lr if ital ifal all ail ali i owed lowed to scald the butter will be oily DISEASES AMONG SHEEP E P the following communication was written some time since and addressed to the president isome of the agricultural and manufacturing i society by whom its pu publication bli bil cation catlon has haa been solicited I 1 PRESIDENT OF THE agricultural AND manufacturing SOCIETY I 1 wish to offer a few suggestions upon sheep husbandry which may be interesting to the society Boci ety I 1 wish to notice in this communication muni mum cation catlon the most fatal diseases amongst amorist I 1 sheep in these mountains and aid in the hirst first t place will refer to the scab which is a contagious d disease ds ease sease we hear bear of many different ways to cire it but it still remains in our flocks from year 5 ear to year wasting both wool and sheep I 1 will give my own views and my own experience in relation to this disease the cab is caused by an insect called acara acari which buries itself in the skin and causes a moisture to rise and form the scab it may be asked what is the a 8 arting point of the scab I 1 answer bad management such as dr gitig ine lne ing too fast causing a high perspiration followed by cold stoics by feeding too much grain having dirty pens for the sheep to be in ID and other bad management which brings a surfeit upon the sheep sheen and causes a scurf to rise on an the skin some bome ome ame times timea the sheep will be uneasy and rub off their wool wooi but this is not caused by the scab green feed quaking asp bark or pine pina limbs fed freely will cure this di dibease tease but it sheep remain long in this situation the scurf will bre breed ed the acara arid and it becomes a contagious disease two tiyo of these insects a male and a female put on one sheep any time during the winter inter would til d be likely to infect an entire flock the thing that is generally resorted to for a cure is that which would hae have prevented the disease diseases if it it had been applied i in n t time me but it will not cure it green feed is good to cleanse the blood and moving the pens and washing the sheep cheep will make clean the skin shearing the sheep gives them a chance to rub and bite themselves so as to waste away 1 I 1 those insects but eo so long as they remain on the sheea sheep when winter comes cornea the flock is again in danger anger of the scab the seab scab is universal all over the state and moving b pens cb changing angin range an and d slight applications to a portion of the sheep it will not cure an entire flock it may be asked if it a fat sheep wili will take the scab I 1 answer yeb yea at the fiah annual fair I 1 had bad a buck lamb that weighed lbs at bix six months old fat and healthy which stood bya sheep that had the scab five or six hours and in two weeks he bad the scab I 1 should recommend the salving operation by odds to any other dressing it is not only a sure cure but it more than pays for itself 1 in the growth and quality ot of the wool if applied in october or november I 1 take one pound of mercurial ointment and mix mx it with four pounds of lard jard and apply one OBB ounce and a half to each sheep the next fatal disease which I 1 shall notice is what is called redwater by some persons which has reduced some flocks of sheep nearly one half in the course ot of a few days the first symptoms of the disease are the following the sheep Is noticed to stop hangs down its head and flanks begins to heave and soon lies down dowd throws bac back its I 1 t s head struggles a few minutes esp esy and dies the disease is caused by a quick accumulation of flesh and blood for which there is no cure but as soon as it is discovered among a flock the sheep should be immediately removed to a fresh range and bled freely in the nose nobe no 8 e vein or eye vein or better in the jugular vein and drenched with A ith two drains drama of balt aalt petre in a pint allut of warm water each i JOSEPH harker harrer TOBACCO AND OPIUM CULTURE we v sited the model tobacco ranch of mr coop a patient in the insane asylum who has a small block of land of bis his own set aside for i 1 purposes of horticultural purposes this amateur gardener has quite a variety of products now flourishing luxuriantly tobacco being comparatively a new nev crop we noted more particularly its culture about j fire hundred plants are growing and looking I 1 very thrifty the small email sized peaked lea iea leaf f is the cuba and the best the virginia leaf is much larger but not BO so thick or bulky as the iho plant raised on james river yet of a better quality when the crop was first plantel the grasshoppers eat it off as fast as the young shoots c ame came up so he planted corn for them to toi toj 1 chaw 11 which saved the crop in this coun j try ten plants will yield one pound of the best quality of plug or twist some of the leaves I 1 plucked off the lower branches are now drying in the sun and some of the more csore advanced are ar e in in press most cf rf the plants are d priced of the seed stamens Bt amens so as to throw the full strength of the stock into the leafa leaf suckers are also carefully pulled off which gives the leaf a richer and more juicy flavor the lef leif lerf lei f is cultivated tor for cigar wrappers this thia is not done as the fabre fibre is much stronger without this flavor mr dir IV is fit generating a new variety of tobacco which he thinks will be more suitable for the climate and soil of california than either the cuba or virginia article the dlower flower fl ivr of the old od kind is star shaped having give five ire lre anges e the flower of the new variety has i but four

green gage plums there are a hundred fruit sellers who show you plums as the green gage that are no more like them thema ID in appearance app earan e or taste or excellence than charcoal is like cream cheese or chalk like a dia dla diamond lond biond the true green gage is beyond all cavil the best plums known but it ia is too often found round that the common yellow gage princes imperial gage and other green plums plumb are called the green gage when they have no claim to the merits atthe true green gage we find too that fruit sellers and even fruit growers to quite a lar large g e extent do not know the true green gage those who wish to see and know the genuine variety can always do so in the preserved article from toe east they will then note the medium bize size round and compressed shape flattened at the end of the true green gage cage this plum is dk dark green often mottled with dark purple and ad brown spots pots we have baye frequently roamed through our markets to find the true green gage but not until a few days since have lave we seen it this season and then at the stall of E W roberts in the pacific fruit market there among a grand collection we saw the true green gale gae and procured a box to to enjoy them audit wa was wab s a real feast california |
