The Carrot should always be furnished a good, deep, 
rich soil. Sow in drills about an inch deep, the drills 
about a foot apart; and at thinning, the plants should 
be left from four to ten inches apart, according to kind. 
The short kinds are finest-grained, best adapted for table 
use, can be had very early, and may be allowed to grow 
very thickly upon the ground. The large sorts are ad¬ 
mirable for all kinds of stock, and nothing is more 
relished by horses in winter, and nothing is more 
healthful for them. Some prefer the short kinds, even 
for stock, as they are so easily gathered, and give a 
good crop.

CHIVES. 
The Chives are small and not 
very important members of the 
Onion tribe, quitehardy everywhere. 
The leaves are slender, and appear 
very early in the spring, and may 
be shorn several times during the 
season. They arc propagated by 
divisions of the root. The Chives 
make the very best border for beds 
in the vegetable garden, and are not 
; only ornamental, bearing pink flow¬ 
ers, and a mass of green leaves, but 
equal to the Onion for flavoring soups and salads.
