CULTIVATING PLANTS WHILE
THE DEW IS ON.

Messrs. Editors.-At least fifteen years
ago, 1 noticed a plot of cabbages, of which
the large, firm heads I could not account tor
from anything apparent in the soil On ask
ing the owner how he made from such a soil
50 fine and uniform a crop, l found his only
secret was that I" he hoed them while the
dew was on" He thought that in this way
he uatered them, but of course the good re-
suited more from the ammonia than the
moisture of the dew.
l adopted the practice the year following
and with the result was so well satisfied that
| have since continued and recommended it
to others. In my Gardening for the South
published two years since, you will find (page
1852 "they (the cabbage tribe) especially
like to have the soil about them thoroughly
worked srhile the dew is on them. There will
be a very great difference between the growth
of two plots of cabbags. treated in other
respects alike, one of which shall be hoed at
sunrise and the other at midday; the growth
of the former will surprisingly exceed that Of
the latter"
A story in point some time since went the
round of the agricultural press, Of which the
substance is as follows: \ small plot oil
ground was divided equally between the hired
lad of a farmer and his son, the proceeds oil
its culture to be their own. They planted ii
with corn, and bet was made by them as tt
which should make the best crop. At har'
vest the son came out some quarts behind
He could not understand the reason, as be
bad hoed his twice q week until laid by,
while he mad not seen the hired lad cultivate
his plot at all, and yet the latter had gained
the wager. 1t turned out the winners CROP
had been hoed quite as frequently, but be-
fore his rival was up in the morning. Hoc1
dencc, 1t seems toNous the hoe ofhc early
riser piM q special and increased renard.
But there are exceptions. Cultivatine
while the dew is on, manifestly benefits suct
gross feeders as cabbage and corn, but there
are plants very impatient Of being disturbed
while wet. The common garden snap and
running beans are examples and if worked
while wet, even with dew, the pores of the
leaves seem to become stopped, and the whole
plant is apt to rust and become greatly in
iured. Whether the Lima beans and Other
legumes are as impatient ofbeing hoed in the
dew, l have not ascertained. Experiment:
should, however, be tried the coming season
on all hoed crops. VIM. n. WHITE.

"Well nothiu," 8 cept the skule commit

"Oh, Committee meets to-day, eh? What

"Pshaw! what have the cats to do with

"Now, we'll, you see, Bill kept bringin'
cats and cats always pilin' them up yonder

as a pyramid and considerably aromatic j

"Why, the skule committee are going to

How TO MAKE TEA PRoPERLY.-The
proper way to make a good cup Of tea is a
matter of some importance. The plan
which l have practised twelve months is
this: The teapot is at once filled up with
boiling water, then the tea is put into the
pot and is allowed to stand FIVE minutes be-
fore tits used; the leaves gradually absorb
the water, and as gradually sink to the bot
tom the result is that the leaves are not
scalded as they are when boiling water is
poured over them, and you get all the true
favor of the tea. In truth, much less tea
is required in this way than under the old
and ooumop practice.-Ex.

RATHER a STRETcH.-One of the old
proprietors Of Dysett's tavern, 10 Cecil Co.,
used to entertain his guets with the most
marvellous incident and adventures, one Of
which is still extaut, viz:
He went to the woods with a sled for a
load of wood, which he loaded up, but u rain
coming up, so softened his raw-hide traces,
that they stretched until he reached home,
without thesled ever starting. He took them
off the horse and threw the harness over the
gate post. After a while the sun came out,
the traces began to contract, and the sled
came sliding up.

How JOE Won Il PENcIL.-Joe

married man in Cincinnati. Joe sports a

Well, be and his wife, Harry-aud
George-and their wives all board at the
same house. A day or two ago, while they
were at the table luxuriating on the detached
portion of a boiled turkey with oysters, the
conversation began on Christian names, when
Mrs. Harry commended that she could name
more distinguished individuals who bore the
name of Harry than any gentlemen could of
his own name, and concluded by offering a
gold pencil as a wager against a suitable c.
quivalent if she should win.
The trial commenced, Mrs. Harry started
off with "Harry of the West" adding a do

George of France &c.

The scene was rich. The Snowman was
no less enraged than the lion. Drawing his
pistol, he threatened Nat with terrible
threats, that if he didn't take the turtle of
he'd shoot him.
Take him off yourself! shouted Nat in
reply.
At this critical moment, by dint Of losing
a portion of his nose. the lion shook his dan
gerous foe from him, and clearing the space
between him and the cage with a bound. he
sunk quickly in his cage to chew the bitter
end of defeat and pain.
1t was a fair fight, all declaring that the
whimbamper was the victor. The money
was paid over to Nat, who left the theatre
delighted at the success of whim. The
next morning he carried his turtle to market
and sold him. So this valiant champion,
after ~copquering the king of beasts, served
for a dinner to Baltimore epicures.
