The Time to Plant. - As soon as you can get your ground ia gixd ordir, say a week before yeur corrt. FeitilizLr Piaster is pieferred bv nll; it inakes a better sirtip and b.etter jields. A good time to apply it 8 just as the oane coinés up so as to wattt woiking. It shows ihe hills distinct frorn the grass, assisliug you to work it sooner and better. Cultiva tion.- Keep the ground stirred and clean until it is about two feet high,, then set the cultiv&tar fco throw tfte dirt up to the hills, and let it passif your ground is clean. JFurtber work done is more hurt tban good. Warvesing. - The cheapest vs&y is to strip the caue leaves when standing, befbre out nn. f! at tlie tdns after hnnnrl ki'buudles.. Bind about four or five hill in one bundie with cane leaves. The feost sometimos inferieres with this wáy of harvesting. My ay then is to cut the ean& befoFe stripped drop four or fivo hills in a pile aeross the ridges, making it more eoovenisMit to bind. If the cant) is tall put on two If I have room I prefer to shelter it. If I bave no room, I go to the cu-t, say ten crolches, two of'them suffioient feo hold up a . polo ten or fifteen feat long-, nd set them at proper diatances ; tbey wil acoomnjodate one aore of grwmd. In thia way you can set your binadles two or' three thick on each sido of your poles, making the best ar rangement I have found, to cure and savo it. The right time tocnt' your cane ia when the seed is ripe, if the frost does aoi make it necessary to do so before; if it does it will taake good seed io th'e dcueh. F, osi - Ltght frosts do no material damíige.
