Senate will adopt the amendment proposal by
the House, as the last resort. If this is done,
the death and burial of the Lecompton scheme,

Currant Bushes,

Now il the time to cut currant slips for
planting Many cultivators recommend cut
ting off all buds below the part inserted in
the ground, which prevents sprouts coming up
from below, and thus making miniature tree
of it, instead of q 6uSh-which is its natural
'labit. The currant we have found to be la
bic to the depredations of small grub, or
worm, which breeds from the deposit of an
egg near the root, where it works upward in-
TO the pith, or heart of the wood for foot
or two, and then energies out--probably then
taking.the moth, or winged formation, and
leaving the wood altogether, Al the point
or escape the wood is cut partially Oft, aud
usually breaks, when in the tree, or single
stem form, and of course destroys the plant.
Aside from this, the weight OF the head COM
pels the stalking Of the plant, and IL close
pruning, to answer any good purpose in bear
ing fruit. On the contrary, planting the slip
with buds below the ground although suckers
will grow up, if properly pruned and attend
ed to, the fruit is equally good, and the shrub
grows large, and lasts many years. We de-
cidedly prefer the notaral way of growing
it.
In planting currants, we object to the COM
mon way of stalking them thickly under fenc-
cs, walls, aud such like, and prefer to grow
them out in open ground, quite six feet apart,
and giving them full and free cultivation,
which induces full crop Of we'll grown, well
ripened, and excellent fruit; while on the
fence method, the fruit is small liable to be
checked by W. eds, grass and othcr foul stuff,
and furnishing harbor to all sorts of garden
vermin.
As TO varieties, althoug the nurseryman
advertise, and praise greet number of new
sorts, the old Red and White Dutch are al
together the best for household purposes and
by far the best bearers that we have tried.
With good cultivation they grow large, with
full stems, and pefect berries. Everybody
who has garden room ought to grow curants
in abundance. They are good, when green
for tarts, and pies, and when fully ripe, well
sugarel, they are a delicious appendant to the
tea -table-healthful and nutricious, besides
making capital jelly. The black English
currant is excellent for jelly, which is a most
gratful drink, diluted in water, for icbrile
diseases.
