MR.. MINER,
The season, ! believe, is not SO far
advanced, but that the publication Of the fol-
lowing extracts may be of benefit. They
are taken from the Domestic Encyclopedia
awork originally compiled and published in
England, by Dr. Which, and rcpublished
in Philadelphia, with many considerable and
valuable additions, by DR.. Mcase. As the
size Of this work, Give large octave vo-
/. lumes) and its consequent high price, will
probably prevent its making ist way into
many private families, | should think that
iudicious selection of extracts from it, rela-
tive to domestic and rural economy, occasi-
onali. appearing in your paper, (Which OBJ
serve, is principally devoted to miscellane.
Gus matter) would be neither unwelcome
nor unintet essing to your mum erous subscri-
bers.
Pardon this hint, sir, and believe me to
be, with much good will,
Yours, &c.
VIGARESTES.
The A. which is very often destructive
to cucu!nbers, melons, and pumpkins, may
be killed By sprlnkling mixture OF tobacco
water and red pepper, over the vines"
A friend, r. B. Esq. intormed the edi-
tor tibet some years since, nearly all the GU
cumber and melon vines in New Jersey,
were destroyed by fly or bug. One day
he had occasion to ride by q miserable hut
in the woods, and percriving a very fou-
/, /,t n :,
to dlsmount aud TO examine it. Upon APP
preaching the spot he found it had formerly
been charcoal heap. He took the hint,
and by strewing powdered charcoal round
about the vines when they first come up,
preserves his cucumbers etfectualiy."
Mr.. ]. w. of Philadelphia, informed
the editor that he enriched the ground near
The trunk OF peach tree, and sowed some
cucumber seed, which came up very album
dainty. He pulled up all the plants but one,
and permitted the vine to run up the tree.
1t bore $50 cucumbers. The numerous
creepers with which the cucumber abounds,
and the result Of this experiment, would
seem to point out the climbing nature of
this Plant, and the great advantage aris-
ing from permitting 1t to attach itself to
frame or tree, instead OF confining it to the
ground"
The seeds Of melons and cucumbers ale
apt to run too vigorously to vine, before
they emit single fruit. To prevent this,
DR.. Darwin advises to wash the seeds clean
from their pulp, before they are put away
for preservation, and to keep them three or
tour years before they are sown. The ex-
perisnced Abercron,bie( Mawes' Gardener)
confirms the advice to plant seeds two, three
or four years DID,"
