RHrnARB.-Garden Rhubarb is valuable as
an early vegetable. For salc and pastry, it il
good substitute for apples and other fruits, it
being ready for use at any time when these
fruits cannot be easily obtained Its good
ness, however, depends much on its being so
cultivated as to secure q large and rapid
growth For this purpose, select a location to
which the sun has free access Then form a
.pace of sufficient length and width, remove the
Garth the depth of two and half feet, and ill
the trench with rich soil and manure Let the
the latter be used plentifully; for rhubarb is a
great consumer, and there is no danger OF
enriching it too mnch. The ground being
thus prepared, the plants may be inserted with
their tops two or three inches below the eur
face.
This mode of planting inyloyes some labor
OF first but the process need not be often rcpea-
ted for the same plants thus set, will produce
well for years with proper care in manurng--
Besides, my maxim is what is worth growing at
all is worth good cultivation, such as will bring
thc vegetable cultivated to something like per-
lection. And have never seen this maxim
more iavorably illustrated than in the case of
rhubarb. when treated in the manner above
described. 1t then has a rapid growth, and
produces stalksof unusual tenderness.
TO protect and enrich the plants: good COW
eriug of manure should be applied in the fall,
and mixed with the soil in the spring. Farmer S

To WORK THE WORST SPOILED IIoRsE.-
MEssEs. EDIToRs.-Place gear on the horse,
the backband rs far back as his kidneys; the
bellv-band at the usual place. Have the traces
short that the singletree can only pass the root
Of the horses tail, and stop six or eight inches
above his hooks, The gear should be strong,
and well secured at all points. 1t is best 10
have the horse secured in his stall for a
day or two before leading him out, that he may
become used to the gear, and less liable to
kick. The beauty Of the thing is, the single
tree which binds SO close TO his hams, that it
prevents the play of his heels. When you dis
cover yonr horse will bear the touch of the sin
getree and gear, You may then attach pillow
lines with gear and place drag, and practice
him until he will bear the pillow or wagon.

ty years without single failure to gentle the

HINTS on THE PRESERVATION OF THE PIANO
FoarE.--The piano should always he closed
when not in use, in order to prevent the collec-
ton of dust, pins &C.. on the sonnd-board and
also to preserve the strings from the i'll effects of
sudden changes of temperature.
AZ cloth is extensively used in piano,
moths must be kept ont humps of camphor.
wrapped in cloth toprevcnt evaporation, placed
in the inside corners.
Nothing Injuries piano so much as extreme
heat, whether arising from bright fire in font
Of it. or. what is still worse, the hot air ff.sf
The furnace in euah ennnral Few pianos
can resist the injurious action of the latter
Care should be taken to prevent moisture of
any kind getting between the keys, as it Will
cause them to stick.
Any hard substance placed on piano will
often cause Earring noise, and II the top is IN
protected by covering, ii is liable to rattle
and jar also
These various annoyances-the result OF care
icssncss and igorance-are often attributed to
inferior tuning or defective make, when nel-
thcr are in fault
Young pianists-aud not few old ones too
would crafty their auditors more. and in
jire their pianos less. if they were TO exert less
strength of finger. as light touch' with jul
dicious use of the loud pedal will yield far
better and equally as full a tone as if they cy-
ertcd all the force at their command. Were
this fact more generally att ,nded to. fewer
would be broken, one cause of the piano not re-
naming in tune would be removed, and far
more pleasure to listeners would be among the
desirable results.
Few are aware of the benefit to be derived
fran having their pianos regularity timed and
kept in order. Every new piano should be tun-
ed at least once month, and none should be
allowed to remain untuned over three months.
When you require q tuner, procure one from
the manufacturer of your piano, or from first
class musc-store. as they are-or ought to be
responsible for the ability of the person they
scnd. And if the order was left two or three
days before the tuner was absolutely required
it would insure more prompt attention. Al
ways employ the same tuner. unless OF course
he Proves glaringly incompetent; but should
his first efforts fail to give satisfaction, give him
one more trial, as he may not he in fault.
1t would be well to remember that tuning
consists only of tightening and slackcning the
strings to the requisite degree, and does not in
cludc the regulation Of the action, replacing
strings: and-as many suppose-a general reno
walton of the piano. A strict observance oftht
above rules will not only preserve piano, but
will materially add to the pleasure of the per
former. A. I. 7.
