bundaut. Ihave grown the Red Dutch
in poor soil entirely neglected, and III
one rich, thoroughly pulvesized and cul.
tivated, and could hardly recognize the
fruit as the same. The FIRST was about
the size Of the common red and very
poor quality; while the second were

CULTIVATION. FL
The eurrant from its extreme hard.
ness, seldom receives any attention o.
cultivation, but is suffered to be over.
run with weeds and crowded to death
by suckers. Small and inferior fruit
is the result. Its cultivation is exceed.
inglysimpie and easy, viz-trcnch tho
soil, make it rich and mellow with well
rotted manure, and keep the woet.s
down. Early every spring tho
ground should be forked up and well
mulchcd with rotted sawdust, old chips
or well rotted manure. The mplchsn5
keeps the soil moist, assists greatly IL
keeping the weeds dowE, aud when
fn,ked:sn the succeeding spring makes
the soil rich and mellow.
The mulcline should be repeated c..

do the best. Every two years, We
ro,tel barnvard manure should be ap.
Piled between the rows and forkcd in.
The best time to do it is in Tie fall.
PRUNING.
The difference il size and aavor, be-
tween currants ripcned OF we'll trimmed
bushes, with the air and sun freely ad-
mittcd to the full grown leaves, and
that which is shaded by crowded
branches and foliage, is greater than
most, who have not seen or Witnessed
The experiment, would believe.
The difference in size and flavor
would satisfy the most careless cultiva-
tor Of the great loss sustained by .
want Of thorough cultivation and prun-
inc. It IS often recommended to train
the cprraut in the tree form, but they
do much better in this country if equal

from the ground. Trained in this way.
they are not SO likely to have the young
shoots blown off, or the bush blown
down, by our high winds.
They mast have AL wool older titan
three years and perfect branches cat
ous ana only enough young shoots, or
suckers, left to form an even well dis.
utcd top Of strong and thrifty branches.
As the best AMI largest fruit is borne
upon wood OF tie proceeding years
growth, it is always best to retain as
mnch OF that rs possible, without in
juring the shape Of The top by produce
ing too dense growth. When the canes
are about two thirds grown the ends
shoulp be pinched off; then they will
send out many side shoots, which must
be riichcd in. This will encourage
the growth Of fruit spurs close - the
canes. Never allow any but fruit
bearing canes to grow, and these never
so thich that the air will ..ot circulate
freely

sued, vou will have at the end of tree

The METHODIST CHURCH, SoUTH.-Parson
Brownlow says; ssWe have been a member of
the Methodist Church fer the last thirty six
years and we have all that time felt lively
interest in all that affected her interest, and
we still do. But if she concludes as Church.
to become the champion ofSecessionists, and
to engage in the hell-bego work of break
ing up this Government, we have no further
use for such an organization. The Book con-
Germs Of the Methodist Churches, North and
South, in Canada and in England all the Bish-
ops and leading members in the church, and
all the Christian Advocates south OF Mason
and DiXon's line can never drag US into any
such wicked scheme as that of breaking up
the Government under which churches and re-
ligious societies of all kinds have prospered
for near century. The preservation of this
Union is of infinitely more Importance than
al! the book, tract, missionary, literary and
other concerns of a Ii the sects in America. If
the eyes of the people of the seeding States
have been so blinded by the dust from cotton
seeds, that they can no good in anything
connected with the Constitution and the Un-
ion handed down to us by our fathers neith-
er the labors of ministers. the teaching of book
concerns, or the grace of God can prepare
them for better world than the Southern
OTIS where they are, and let them work out
their damnation with greediness. Indeed,
it is to be regretted that leading ministers OF
different churches in the South are on the
stump, advocating secession, denonncing the
Union, and uttering reasonable sentiments
which merit hanging.
