Raise yocr own Vegetables. A California exchange lias tlie followiir remarks under this lieart. wDicaarersappu m .. XT ... ... i- -ii .. it H to that Mate: I Ins is one ot tne easiest countries in the world t raise vegetables in, and yet we ven ture to say that very few States can be f mud where there are o few yegetahle gardens among the farm- ere. Indeed, ms a general tiling tne farmers in the wheat districts never , , think of trying to make a vegetable i "arden. They pass away their ! ........ 1 time ...the tall, winter and spn, g j when they might by a little lalwr prepare a piece ot ground near the i house and plant it with vegetables in such a manner as to furnish an abundance ot all kinds tor family, use the largest portion of the year, and then patronize the vegetable peddler to the amount of hundreds and in some instances thousands of ot dollars each year, all the time complaining that they can make no money farming, for the reason that the freight men and middle men take it all away from them. When spoken to about it they will excuse themselves by saying their soil is not good for gardening; that it bakes on the surface, or that it dries out too early in the season, or pr imps, what is more generally the truth, that they have no taste tor such little work. We are aware that a large portion of soil on the open plains of this'State is not the best adapted to the production of vegetables, but we are also aware that a little work and a little mix ture of material will make, it so. If there le too much clay in it, which is generally the case, a few loads of sand, sediment and manure will suffice to remedy the objection and render it the best gardening land. If irrigation be required to keep up the moisture and mature the vege table, there is but few places that a well and cheap windmill would not supply all that would lie neces sary for an acre or two of land. The great trouble with our fanners in connection with this matter is that they have not in earnest made the effort. They have c me to the easy conclusion that gardening will noV pay and dismissed the subject. Those that have experimented with vegetables have generally made the same mistake that they have in sowing grain. They ha ve i mt prop orly prepared and pulverised the soil and then have sown too late in the season. The pn per time to begin a garden, especially on the nnlaiii! iit I lite ttatv ! !.,. i.ll i when the ground is'wnrrn and thc' rains are also warm. This is tho course that is pursued by the pro- j fessional gardeners, who bring their j garden truck and sell it all winter ind indeed all seasons of the year. Onion seed is planted in August in beds, and daring the fall is wa tered until along in November, when the turnips are transplanted in rows in the field. fk turnips an planled'iu the tall and when the first rains come they grow very ripidly and furnish a crop to draw upon for the market all winter. So with pean and lettuce, if sown in a warm soil and in a protected local- ,,v ,tl;cbUoftl,e year they wiU gww Ml winter awl turnwi green leas and salad almost as on as the ground ia in good condition for , V- : 'ii planting ut tie? spring.

Until this operation i,as . . . taken place it is not fit to receive the grain and should not be sown, Xor is soil in proper condition to plow or cultivate in any maimer until it is sufficiently dry to go through this slaking process. This process will take place much taster and mure perfectly on a sunny day than in cool or cloudy weather If however, the soil lie plowed wheu too wet, it is pressed together tight- er, ami, instead or Making, oukcs and forms clods, and the sun assists in this process also. Clods so form ed are frequently so ha.d and com pact that the air cannot penetrate them and sometimes will remain unslaked for years, rendering the surface of the land uneven and hard to work, and holding bound up within themselves a portion of the natural fertility. Whi.e we appre - ... .ii- i.i i1 date the natural des;rc of the farm - ers niuier the present situation to push fi.rward the seedutg, we can but caution them against plowing before the soil is in proiier condition to go through the necessary slaking I .;;.. ..,.; cl I in until thnt iiiiicess has taken place. The following paragraphs are ta ken from the Agricultural column of the Recordt ALFALFA HAY FOR HOGS. It is a strange sounding proposi tion, to teed hogs with hay, but we have experience in this line, and however strange or odd it may seem it is, notwithstanding, a fact that hogs wid not only cat alialfa , i . .i . i 'il l ii ! hay, but thatogs will do well on ; it We first discovered the fact bv ! throwing a lot of alfalfa chaff, from i which the seed had been cleaned lover to some hpgs fbr a nest, when to our jrpprfse, they devoured it with its' much greediness as they would so ranch oats or barley. Our own experience and observation since has proved to us that gooJ alfalfa hay with plenty of water, will keep hogs m a good growing condition all through the winter.
