HOW AMERICANS WASTE FOOD.

We know a family of two persons, in
which is daily cooked food enough for
twice that number. The surplus stands
about the pantry, exposed to flies, dust,
heat, trost-any casualities-or it is re-
cooked, at twice the original cost; half Of
it to be eaten, and the remainder, with
vegetables, mouldy bread and fruit. etc.
to be consigned to the pigs. Here is a
waste Of food which requires a pretty
long purse TO maintain. Yet both bus-
band and wife are constantly complaining
of hard times; they lack money and fear
positive want. Well they may; for il
anything is sure to bring want, it is waste.
When the flour barrel is empty, the mo-
lasses key drained, the sugar spent, and
other things gone, neither husband mol
wife seem to think that an unnecessary
part Of the whole has been devoured by
pigs, nor that, if Mrs. Eve would have
but two or three kinds for each meal, and
put on the table only half the usual guam
tity at once, they both would enjoy theil
meals far better, and have the surplus in
good condition TO be relished at future
meals. Profusion is as unfavorable to
enjoyment as it is to health and the
purse. Simplicity aud economy insure
domestic comfort and prosperity; but a
tbriftless wife brings sure ruin. Don't
laugh, Mrs. Eve, saying, al wonder how
neighbor Show off would like that PIT
means you, you. Life Illustrated.

APPLE PIE MELoN.-L. Norris in the
Country Gentleman says, In the cul-
ture of this melon, care should be taken
not 10 plant too close; one, or at the
most two plants in each hill, L think is
sufficient, and the hills eight or ten feet
apart; as the vines branch and extend
further than the watermelon. When the
fruit is set, / think it advisable to pinch
off the top of the vines, which l think
causes the fruit to advance in its growth.
This fruit we appreciate highly--for pies
we think it equal to the apple; and for
preserves we do not find its equal in any
fruit we have tested. This is our opinion.

NEWLY SET ORCHARD TREEs.-Newly
set orchard trees now require looking after.
The ground must be stirred about their
roots, SO that the dews and rains can
moisten the earth, otherwise, if they do
not die, they will make no growth this
season. Trees on lawn, or where they
cannot be cultivated in the usual way, can
be dug about or mulched. No one can
afford to neglect newly set trees, in this
State, where fruit is so scarce-but rath-
er it should be the aim Of all to crowd
them as fast as possible, as fruit is want
ed by all, not only for its value rs food,
but for its tendency to check bilious and
other miasmatic diseases.

To Grow LARGE PoTAToEs.-We see
it stated, that il, when the plants are on
ly few inches high, the number of shoots
be reduced by pulling them up, to one or
two, or at most three of the strongest,
the tubers will be much larger-fewer in
number of course, but larger.
