put in to stew, and the soup may generally be im-
proved by adding a very little vinegar, and a sprig of
thyme.
READY MADE TEA OR COFFEE TO KEEP.—The
following is a receipt for preparing the materials for
making a substantial meal of coffe, tea, or cocoa, at
any time or place, and which can be sent from England
to friends in the Crimea. To make, say a fortnight's
supply, at the rate of a meal morning and evening,
take 30 table-spoonfuls of fresh sweet cream that has
not stood long ; 30 table-spoonfuls of fresh roasted
pounded coffee, or cocoa, or powdered tea ; 45 table-
spoonfuls of sugar (or more, according to taste), white
loaf of bread, thoroughly dried in pieces in a pan over
the fire, and then pounded, which is to be added to
the foregoing till the whole attain such a consistency,
that the moisture is not discernible ; to be packed in
jars for use, and,-when required, sufficient of it to be
added to a pint of water and boiled. Thus, a nourish-
ing, refreshing meal, and retaining all the flavour of
the cream, &c., can be procured at any time, and is
worthy of the notice of the housewives in England.—

had better be kept under glass until next May ; but
these should be procured at once, and if they can be
placed in a gentle heat through the winter, they will
grow freely, and fiirnish cuttings which will root just
as freely as a verbena. In preparing ground for roses
let it be trenched at least two feet deep, and well
incorporate a very heavy dressinc, of manure with the
soil to the full depth. It is hardly possible to make
the mould too rich for any kind of rose, particularly
the autumn-blooming kinds, and four or six inches of
good rotten farm-yard dung will not be too much
where the soil is naturally rather light and poor.
Large-headed standards that have done blooming for
the season should be cut back pretty freely, to lessen
the chance of their being injured by heavy gales of
wind. Continue to clear the beds of their summer
occupants as these become unsightly, and after trench-
ing or doing whatever can be done to save time at
next planting out season, get them furnished for the
spring. Also look over the herbaceous borders, and
make any projected alterations there, taking up and
dividing any of the coarse growing plants that may be
inclined to encroach too much upon their neighbours.
The modern system of gardening is fast drivinc, this
class of plants out of cultivation ; but many of them
are really beautiful, and if they were more largely
grown our gardens would not have that naked appear-
ance in spring which is too often to be seen. Sweep
and roll grass frequently, and keep gravel walks hard
and smooth by frequent rollings.
