Vitality of Eg3. Eggs for hatching should be as fresh as possible. Some say they should not be orer two week's old about the time it takes a hen to lay a clutch of eggs. It is no easy matter, in fact it is im possible, to fix upon any precise period when the vital principle in the egg Is destroyed, since it varies from the first, according to ths vigor of the parents of tho enclosed embryo and the mode of preserving the eggs. A safe' rule, however, 13 to secure fresh eggs. TLosc who are anxious to secure a valuable variety, one chicken of which would he worth a whole brood of ordinary or common sorts, will run all risks; after Sevan or tight weeks their chance is not entirely "one : some of their chicks will be found hatched,'if they Survive the first forty eight hours the great difficulty are afterwards no rioro weakly nor trou blesome than others. Whether for hatching or eating, it is advisable to collect the eggs every afternoon daily. Ihey should be shaken a3 little as possible, for fear of rupturing the ligaments and mixing the albumen with the yolk; in. the meantime air should be excluded from the plants as much as possible. They should be carefully packed in oat3, bran, cut straw, or any other dry, soft substance. It ia best to set them on end, and not suffer them to lay and roll on the side. Set them into a moderately cool, dry room of even temperature. A careful observance of the foregoing rules may save many from disappointment in rearing some of the choicest varieties of fowls. Wo have before said es for hatch ing should'be as fresh as possible, and if early in the season, care should be taken that they do not get chilled or frozen, as that would destroy their vitality ; as soon as layed they should be marked with a pencil to show their age and stock. The last week in March or first in April will be a good time to set your hens, and the pullet9, if well fed from these clutches, will lay through the following winter. Select the egs of good laying hens, of good shape, and of regular size ; by this means you may much improve your stock. Some who are very particular in these mat ters will only put eggs from one fowl under a setting hen, in order that no mistake may arise as to the identity of the chicks. In raising game fowls this, of course, will be a very impor tant rule; as the mail bird is the object desired in this stock, observe eggs of a good shape, that are longest and sharpest at the small end are generally found to produce males, but not always, while the round and large ended ones produce females. Last year in a clutch of thirteen eggs there were ten cocks and one pullet hatched. Many person --rr 'a l.:,lJ,j ror want ot a little attention to them. It is an old but true axiom,' that "a thing worth doing at all is worth doing well," and this will apply to the rearing of chickens as well as to other matters. Convenient nest3 should be provided for the hens to lay and hatch in. They should be secured in sheltered places and filled with cut straw, hay, or somo soft substance. Old nests or boxes should be cleaned scalded with boiling lime water, and the bedding removed and replaced with fresh. , A good hen will cover fifteen of her own sized eggs, but somo think thirteen area sufficient number, aod there are others who give the prefer, ence to eleven ; we think the medium the most successful. Place all the eggs, whether eleven or thirteen, under the hen at once, and mark with chalk or pencil, in a cons spicuous place on the box, a date twenty-ona days advance the time occupied in hatching. Cor. Country Gentleman. Planting Cabbages A correspondent of the Marl: Lane Express, who highly extoles the cab bage for feeding milch cows, store cattle, sheep and swine, and more es pecially for spring-feeding of lambing ewes, says that the average product per acre in England may be stated at 25 ton3. He gives' the. following di rections for planting them : The cabbage plants freshly drawn from the nursery-bed, with tho ex treme end of the slender fibrous root cut off, are brought to the field and im mersed in tubs of water, with the roots downwards, and taken from tho ressels as the plants arc required for nsc.- Persons provided with dibbles insert tho plants on the top of the drills, at the distance ot two feet from each other, making a hole with the dibble for tho' insertion of the plant to the depth it has stood in the nursery bed, and pushing with the dibble the sides of the hole together, in order to give the plant a firm position. It must be very carefully observed not to insert the plants deeper or more shallow than they stood in the nursery bed, as a transformation of the exposed or earthed up skin is the consequence, and a necessary delay in the onward progress of the plant. All plants with a large foliage require much moisture, and tho dung that is used for cabbage must be thoroughly moist, and even wet, whether it be cool or fermented; the plants immersed in water, and the insertion in the ground should be per formed in the wettest weather in which the work 13 possible to be done. When any plant3 are seen to be dead, the place3 must be immediately filled with fresh plants in order to ensure a full crop all over the field. For th Nebraska F armor. Pure Cblccic Sugar Cane Seed. Ma. EDITOR : In tho March number of the American Agriculturist, on page 63, will be found an article enquiring for seed of the above description. Chinese Sugar Cane Seed in the country has. be come deteriorated somewhat by hybridiz ing with other plants of the sameenu3, such 0.3 douiah cum, Lruuiu euro, irf.phec, Stc, and that frequent enquiries had been made for pure seed, where they could be obtained, which they could not answer. In the April number of that very useful journal, on page 101, may te found an article headed pure Sugar Cane Seed not obtainable, statiiig that in Francs and Algiers pure seed could not be obtained known to be urhybridized. For general information I will state that in the year of 1S55I received fron the United Statsa Patent office two packages cf the seed of the Chinese Sugar Cane, which had been obtained from M. Vilmorin, of France, and brousht to America ty Jay Brown, Esq., and distributed for the first time throughout the country. I planted one package in my garden, the other in the field, for the purpose of obtaining seed alone. ! ' - In the Spring of 1So3, l used the seed obtained from the fiald package for farth er experiment, whilst that of the garden seed was laid carefully away, without farther use, and would, perhaps, have yet so remained had not the article al luded to met my eye. I have since t3ken it from its resting place and excluded all other seed of the sorghum cr sugar cane kind, as well as those of its genus, such as doarah, broom, or chocalate corn, from my place. I Lave now planted, cf this pure sed, as much as three acres, which will produce as much seed as will for the next year satisfy the demands ot this part of our country. It can have no othsr chance than to remain pure, as there is no broom corn or others of ,it3 ayecifls growing wunin miles CI my piaca. I nave tested its vitality, some of it is already up and growing ficely. More on the sub ject hereafter. Yours truly, GEO. MONTAGUE. Junction Citf, Kan. Written for the Nebraska Farmer. Cultlratlon of Tobacco. Ma. Editor : As the cultivation of the above named article must, from the ne cessity of the times, become profitable to a certain extent, correct information upon the subject may bo acceptable to many of your subscribers. If you believe with me on this subject, I propose to furniih three communications : First, the subject of this will be the cultivation from transporting to the time of gathering and houseiog: Second, at the proper season', housing and curing: Third, for next springs operation, the best method of producing the plants. The soil fur tobacco growing should be cf alight, friable kind, commonly called a sandy loam, muat be rolliog, not liable to drain in excessive rains, new ground in timber land is best. It is useless to take up space in your valuable paper describing the preparation of the ground, it is enough for a good farmer to know that it must be well prepared and checked by running furrows each way three feet apart, large flat hills should be made with a depres sion in the centre, at the cros3 of the angles, the plants should be removed from the hot bed to these hills mthe latter part of May, or as soon thereafter as possible. In taking up the plants great pains must be taken not to bruise or break the stems or leaves. Plant one stock in a hill about the depth i: stood in the bed, press the dirt firmly but gently about tho plant, afterward pour cn a pint or less cf wator and cover with moss or a broad leaf and ycur plants will live. Hoe out the weeds and draw a little earth to your stock when the transplants are ten days old, which i3 all the working your ground will require Your next great trouble i3 with the enemies to- the plant. The cut worm will be the first while plants are tender.. A day inu3t not pass without great !;!i jenca in this part of your business, the green and black headed worms may be killed by simply pressing the leaf between, the thumb and finder; with tha bud worm skill is required or ycu m:y do as much harm as the. worm, by destroying the bu'i of the plant in kiiiiog it, fur rtnictaler tha smallest piece' pinched will destroy half thslcaf. -. OaiLyiionn error tfiapros-" cation of this part of your work will de pend ycur success in tolacco raisin what the plant has attained iu groivth thsrii will be formed at the top a gem 'or button which will throw; cut fiuwers, "finally throwing out capsules containing . the seeds. Having selected a few cf.tne best stalks for seed, top the rest cf tho crop by. breaking eff tha button socn after it is formed, if your plants show a diminutive growth top lower than the but ton, Ireak off ' the .suckers and rlltfw nothing to interfere with the proper de velopment of the leaves on the main stein More in season:. . Yours truly, C.JJi',,' Junction City, Kan. , Tot tae Jcbraaa Farmer. - ..'t , Faming ys. Professional lift, r Ed. Farmer: I wus much pleassd 3 read in the April number .the outspoke:! words of "Justice" cn the above topic.
