MlIpEw on GoOSBERRIEs. MIR. FREAs:-
This troublesome disease has for some years
made sad havoc in my gooSbcrry plantation.
In some years have not pluckc,l so much as
a single handful of good fruit. though have
a great number Of bushes. all apparently
thrifty and Of large size. Last spring deter
mined either to ''kli or cure, and set myself
to work with as much earncstneSs as did ever
DR.. Sangrads, in "Cil Bass," to cure his un-
fortunate patients by bleeding and admins
tering warm water. In the first place pro-
cccdcd to remove all supertlaous wood, cut
ting out nearly two.thlrls of the last wears
growth, and with it no small portion of the
older branches In many places where the
mature wood was suffered to remain the lat
cra branches were abScindvd, so that the air
and light had free access. and the wind could
blow through the bushes as thu ough Il sieve.
next commenced digging about the roots,
but in a manucr not to interfere WITH or dis
tulb them, carefully removing all the grass
and other spurious vegetation, and leaving
the entire surface around the bushes to the eX
tent Of the longest laterals, clean and fine as
the soil of newly prepared flower bed. On
this surface sowcd six quarts Of pnlverlsed
charcoal, allowing it to remain Oh the sUrfdcc,
and covered the whole with meadow fOX-tail
hay: saturated in a solution Of salt III water,
to the depth of three inches. The operation
was performed towards the close of April

a HINT TO FARMERS. -A few weeks ago
we had a brief conversation with one of the
most cntcrprsing farmers of Brandywnc
hundred, i'll regard TO the high price Of cattle.
In reply to The question, if it would not pay
II handsome profit TO raise stock he observed
that killing of calves when or weeks old,
wUs tie greatest traste Il farmer to"M make.-
For few years back he has raised his
calves, and the experiment has proved highly
satisfactory lie promised to write an arti-
Gle in regard to the matter for the benefit of
his brother farmers, but for some reason has
failed to do SO. We hope however, he may
yet give his views in the columns of the Re
Publican. The price of cattle of all descrip-
tons is exceedingly high, and yet farluerS
continue to pursue the suicidal policy of
Strengthening their calves, and paying @40 to
SO and even $50, for four-y ear-old steer
to keep over winter, and to feed on the grass
the following summet; $50 to $50, for a good
COW in profit, and 1925 to $500 for par Of
oxen that are well broken. These prices are
eXhorbitant. and any one must see at a glance
that they afford a heavy profit to the breeder
1t will pay well to raise COWS. better to raise
steers, and still better to raise oxen. The
trouble and expense Of doing so are compar-
ativcly light. The calves designed for oxen
should be yokcd when but lew weeks Old,
and they can be broken to work well, grow
ing into it as it were, as they become Older
The farmer should think of these truths, when
asked to sell his calves, and see if he cannot
profit by them.
We might also say something about rails
ing colts. 1t is folly in a farmer TO neglect
this part of his business, as buying a horse,
at the present high prices, takes good
round sum. \ colt or two should be raised
every year by every man carrying on farming,
instead of having to buy horse every spring
or two, he should have one 10 sell. The
pocket would soon show the difference Of this
course, and there would be far less complaint
Of hard times. 1t is Il want of thrift and en-
| tcrpriSe. a shameful waste of time and mate
rial that make men poor, and not the high
wages which prevail. We say, it you wish
to effect a great saving, raise your cattle and
horses. - Del. RepubtiCHn.

RADIsUEs. -The radish requires plenty
of room, and the facilities of a quick growth,
or they will invariably be tough and wormy.
For the first crop SOW as early in the SPRING
as the ground can be worked, and every two
weeks throughout the season, for succession.
y warm, sandy loan. made rich and light
by some good strong manure, will be most
likely to afford them brittle and free from
worms. a writer in the n. Y. Daily Tunes
gives an intelligent account OF the mode
which he pursued, in order to secure an a
bundance Of radiShes at all seasons: AS
soon, he says. las our garden has been plow-
cd. or spaded, we sow over it small guam
titv Of radsh seed, broadcast. The suisse
ouent working and planting of the soil bu-
rics these seeds, and as they come up we deS-
troy them, as we would weeds, where there
is not room enough for them to grow. But
there is always some space between rows or
hills of other VEGETABLES, whore several plants
NAV be allowed to remain till large enough
to pull up for the table. Wherever there IS
any spare room, we scatter few seeds when
hoeing over the ground to xiii the weeds
This practice we follow up all through the
summer, and single shilling's worm OF seed )
thus sown in small quantities, every time we
have gone into the garden to work, has urn
ished us an abundance of young and tender
radlshes at all times. When early peas come
to maturity, we have young beets or ra.lshes
growing up on the ground occupied by them,
from seeds which were sown during the last
hoclng they received. 1t is well known that
on many soils radishes do not grow well, but
by our plan of scattering them in every part
of the garden we have always hit upon some
spots just suited to procure the incest roots.
Where they happen to be in the way of 9th
er vegetables, or where they produce tough,
strong bulbs, we cut them down with the
hoe and cover them with Garth, and they aid
to enrich the ground Thus used, compar-
atively small amount of seed will yield sat
isractorily and economical supply"

LADIES AND THEIR CONFERENCE.-The
influence produced by lady's conversation
is much greater than is generally admitted,
hence it should be well guarded and select, for
every woman whose heart and mind have been
properly regulated, is capable of exerting a
most salutary or reverse effect with whomso-
ever she associates. Yesterday two ladies
who arc known for their power of words en-
tered dry goods store in our city and devoted
from 10 till four o'clock in looking over
silks. satins and other materials, conversiug
or the merits of this article, then that, all the
while,urtil the hungry clerk forgot his dinner,
his patience, his position and his calling, and

When black hair will turn to gray?

MIS-. Gaskrl,'s Life of Charlotte Brontc will
he immediately issucd by the .lprlctons. 1t
is the most pathetic Ste,y ever read; and is
all Of the Trofuuadcst interest. 1t begins with
a description of ilaworth village and church,
in which all the 4brores are buried: and it he
gins properly for her lie seemed to date from
:, grave. The poverty. the hard and eccentric
father. the wild, ro,naRtc characters of the
children, the carly misery, and dragging dcs-
pair, the fell inonotony "a suffering, of which
we have vaguely heard, are ak told with the
tenderness Of woman and ,he fidelity Of a
friend. The vehement nature caaae evidently
from the father: the thread of refined and
sensitive feeling from the mother. The mother
fades like ghost from the page as the chill
drcn appear. Only long attcrward after Jane
Eyre was published, and Charlotte was IA
nous, did her father bring her bundle of old
yellow letters, written many years before,
when her mother was a gin, and ,jnst engaged
10 him. The father evidently harmed the
children more than he knew, and more than
they would ever confess, even if they were
conscious of it.

Woman in the Garden.

Much IN these days is said about the sphere
Of woman Of this vcxed question we have
nothing to say. The culture OF the soil, the
body and the soul are our themes. Rich
slils, healthy bodies, pare, cultivated souls
these are what we are aiming at. And to
this end we recommend that every country
woman have garden that she keeps and
dresses with her own hand or at least that
She superyiscs and manages. The culture of
strawberries, rasbcnies, black berries, goosher.
rics, cumants and garden vegetables are as
delightful and profitable as anything in
which woman can engage. She may sprn-

PRoGREss OF INVENTION 1t appears that
during the four years previous to 1858, the
average annual number of applicants for pat
ents at the United States Patent Office was
$500; while for the four subsequent years
such an average will be about 1000. The
number Of patents annually issued during the
former period averages 900; during the latter
about 1850. For the current year the whole
nninber of applicants made, the whole num-
Der Of patents granted. and the amount of
revcnue received will respectively be at least
double what they were in any previous year.
The number Of applicants for patents in the
United States Office the last year was greater
than that in any other country, having been
4435, against 295S in Great Britain, and
1856 in France. For the present year it is
thought that the number Of applicants will
reach 5000. MAJ. Intel.
