DR. SCOTT'S AGRICULTURAL. Garden :Notes. '.l.'he month of Octobn is the time for harvesting roots, the fine dry <lays ruake plell.aant work of it if done in season, but if put off till the colder and wetter weather of November, tho men can not accomplish nearly as much work as they can in the pleasant days of this month Beets are harvested first as they are more like~y to be damaged by frost than carrots or turnips, which are taken care of later. Parsnips also if wanted for sale m winter, or very early in spring, must be harvested in autumn, 1hough if wanted for use after the ground thaws, th<1 y usually ke.:p better in the field undi.sturbed; the same is true of horseradish. Tne best w:i.y co keep i..11 kinds of roots is in pits, but if put into a cell11r they should be piled not over two or th ree fet:Jt deep, and co'v ered over with a little hay or straw to keep the air from wilting them. The cellar for roots is best kept quite cold, almost freezing, and in case the roo;>ts begin to heat, they must be overhauled at once to cool them off; turnips aro more likely to heat than o1J\er roots, and should not be piled more than two feet deep, and ev'en tl1en will need care to keep them from hea.ting. Beets and mangold" are pulled by band and thrown in heaps. and topped in t he field; carrots and par..nips are pulled quite easily after ploughing a deep furrow quite close to the off sid1;i of the row; horseradish needs to be ploughed on both sides of the row, throwmg tho 'earth from the roots,and then with a good team and a good ploughman the plough can . be run directly under the roots, turning them completely out; it is sevure work tor both horses and maµ. .The horseudish tops should be cleaned oft' with hoes and rakes before ploughing out; this is best done quite late, about Nov. 10, for the roots keep growing later than othel'll. All celery should now be banked up without delay, for there is no danger of rotting in the cool weather. That which is intended. for late keeping should be banked last and only banked once, just enough to crowd the leaves together, so that it will pack well in the pit. Parsley and dandelion roots may be transplanted still for forcing . in cold frames, though the work ts better done in September. Lettuce plants should have a little heat if t ranl!lplanted this month, and those in cold beds will need o..re to keep the frost out in cold, windy nights. L1:1tt;uce in g1;eenhouses will usually need a little fire on cold nights before Novem· ber, but in fine weather the glass will needabundantairing.· . October is a good tirne to gather in a good aGock of forest leaveli: they are <.apital covering for keeping frost out of cabbage beds, · celery pits, and all sorta of pits in fact, and when plenty may be used for lit terwith advantage. During all my experience I never remember seeing so long continued a glut of tomatoes; it is not uncommon to have t hem sell for a single day or two for less _ than th~ cost of pickin!! and 11elli:ng them, but thia year the glut haa held out for nearly a month, at prices coW1idcrably less than the cost of gathering and cart~ ing to market. The pickling establishments have had everythirig their own way' this year, and if the;r have not laid in a large stock they can only bl_ a me themselves. These extremely low prices might perhaps be avoided in the future, if the· gardeners had the good sense and apirit to combine in a trade union, as other trades do, ap.d limit th~ir production to the wants of the m1trket. If the cQal mir!era, for instance, were to work all theJr .machinery t.o its full capacity, t hey woµld produce nearly twice as much coal as is needed, and tho price would be ruinously low; they combine and agree to limit px:oduction. Tha result faa healthy demand and a reasonable price. The glut is a natural result of the high prices 'o f two and three years ago, when extensive droughts at the south limited the crop, making prices very profitable 11ere, where t he crop was fairly good. Farmers began to think that the pickle factories would always pay 75c or $1 per bushel for good tomatoes, and this year the amount of land planted was probably double the average. Late frosts in June and a wet season damaged the plants and made the crop ripen ·1ater, but in September the yield was enormous, and thoilsands of bushels have rotted in the fields forwant of market. The loss falls heavily on manv farmers who have depended on this cror. for a pretty sure source of income.- LN. E. Farmer. ARTrns:wISHING ·.fF.IEill.

This· is at the rate of 8 bushels and 41 pounds per square rod. With rows two and three-fourths feet apart (33 inches), there would be six: rows to the rod. The above yi~ld would give five pecks and nearly seven pounds. to each·row one rod long. With the hills sixteen and a half inches apart, there would be twelve hills to the row, and al· most seven pounds per hill, or a small fraction leas than a half peck. There is plenty of room on an acre of land to bury 1390 bushels of potatoes, but not many farmers have yet learned how to coax that quantity to grow upon so small an area. It is worth somethingtoknow that it can be done. Four hundred and eighty-eight bushels was our largest yield of t his crop, estimated from the product of one square rod.

In the water he placed a little piece of cork, having a bent pin on one side, and two straight pins on the other side, so t hat t he cork as it floated roughly resembled a lilliputian duck. The cork lay dead in t he water, and it was difficult to think what magic could possibly be got out of it. Presently the juggler, l:litting about two yards off, t ook out a musical instrument and began to play a lively tune. Instantly the imitation duck commenced to dance violently in the water, suiting its motions to the mu3ic. The dancing continued till the tune waa ended; then ~lj,e juggler ordered the duck to salaam, ari~ he was at once obeyed. He even request ed the buoyant cork to dive to the bottem of the water, and his request was immediately complied with. ·while the performance was going on the cocoanut shell was standing a;l~os~ at eur feet, and the performer wa!I not only sitting beyondreach, but both h ishanp.swere employed in playing the instr.ument.'[Chamber's Journal.
