In answer to the above inquiry we
would state that Mr.. WV. GARNER, who is
now running on the Abosession ticket for
the Legislature, was, and to the best of our
knowledge is now, Trustee of Kane Town
ship; and the records show that while he
vas Trustee of this Township contract
was let to somebody, to build bridge, for
the sum of $500, over the slough between
here and Omaha and that WV. GARNER,
built the bridge, but whether it only cost
him s3l so to build it we cannot say, but
should judge from the looks Of the thing
that less money than $37, would build a
better bridge. The records also show
that somebody drew the 800, of the
then Township Clerk, HAIRY BABBlrr, but
whether WV. GARNER, or any other man gave
the clerk s25, or any other sum, for paying
II over, We, Of course, cannot say.

The Garden.

RULEs FOR AMATEUR GARDENERs.-When
watering, particularly newly planted crops,
in dry weather, give a good soaking of
water at the roots, and in all mild weather
sprinkle over the whole plant at the same
time, to prevent excessive evaporation.
Liquid manure for growing vegetable
crops may be given twice each week; and
for developing flowers, as soon as the calyx
or flower cup begins to burst, it should be
applied but once week. A cloudy atmos,
phere is the best condition for giving water,
and early in the evening the best period in
summer months. The liquid which soaks
from common farm and poultry yards, with
some SCOT added, is the cheapest, but where
such is not procurable, add ono pound guano
to thirty gallons of water, and about a spade
full Of SCOT, the latter tied up IN coarse cloth
or bag to prevent it from swimming on the
surface Of the water. This mixture will make
aliquid manure fit for all the ornamental gross
feeding plants, as Pelargoniums, Salvias,
Fuchsias, &C., &c. To prevent drawing off
or using the water in turbid state, drain it
off as clear as possible. The SCOT is an essen
tial ingredient as manure, and aS an antidote
to insects.
Where rain or soft water is not procurable
for watering plants, it should be known that
caustic lime is useful element in reducing its
hardness. The proportions are, one of lime
water to five Of common water, which reduces
the hardness Of water to the same degree as
that of water after being boiled; or pound
of chalk Calcined will produce 0 ounces of
eausti cline, which will make 40 gallons of lime
water, and be sufficient to mix with $50 gal
Ions Of ordinary water.
Bone dust mixed with dry sifted loan or
soil, and sown thickly broadcast, with after
rollings) forms an excellent ingredient in
restoring and quickening the verdure of de-
cayiRg grass plats in gardens and pleasure
grounds, sc. M king a small portion of
pure bone dust in the soil in which various
plants have been grown, has proved very
beneficial, and caused them to produce
stronger and more healthy growth. The
effect is particularly noticed in plants Of
slender, delicate habit. Cleanliness from all
weeds and rubbish should be considered as
essential among growing vegetable crops in
che kitchen garden, as among the more fragile
products Of the flower garden. In both cases,
every green leaf Of weed or intruding plant
is abstTactingthe " "lifeblood' Of the soil, both
from the presentand following crop. Directly
after the crops are of, trench and ridge the
ground we'll up. Turn over all spare ground
10 the action Of the air.

Advantages of soiling.


Among the proceedings of the Farmers
Club at Belleville, N. Y, We find that the
following report on the practice of soiling
was unanimously approved:
Let five acres be appropriated to pastur.
ing ten cows during six months, commencing
with the first Of May. One-half acre may
be sOwn to winter barley or rye, which can
be commenced being used for feed by the
first Of June. This, at one and a half tons
per acre will supply the cows ten pounds
day, which is all they will eat in addition
% what they get from the pasture, and will
last 10 June 18th. One acre Of clover, which
win be amply large to commence feeding
BY the time the rye is gone, at two tons per
acre, will last 80 days, or until June 18th.
One-half acre Of oats and barley will sup.
ply the demand from this date until Aug. l.
One acre Of corn, which has been sown
elrlier, viii by this time be ready to feed,
Which, &C yield Of 4 tons per acre, at 20
pounds per day, will last forty days more,
or until Sept 10th, and according to previous
allowance, will last until Oct. lst, from which
time until the first of November, when the
COWS should 60 into winter quarters, a half
acre Of corn fodder is an ample provision,
and large part Of it will be left for winter
use.
Now for the winter keeping. In the first
place, they should have good, warm, well-ven.
tilated and well-littered stables, plenty of
good water, and be regularly fed. Three
fourths acre Of carrots, at 700 bushels per
acre would yield 525 bushels; also three
fourths acre Of beets at the same rate, 525
bushels. If the carrots should DO fed from
November lst, at the rate of one bushel per
day for each COW, they would last until Feb
ruary 10th, from which time the beets may
Be fed ill lune Ist, which is the time the
green food b 10 be used. Two acres planted
% corn at Yield Of 20 bushels, and three
acres sovn 10 oats, peas and barley, at the
same rate, would yield q total Of 900 BUSH
els, which would be sufficient to give each
COW three quarts per day during the six
months Of winter feeding. The pumpkins
raised with the corn could be fed during
lhe month Of October. Five acres Of grass
g two tons per acre, together with the straw
and cornstalksS would supply sufficient fod.
der Cor the cows, together with feed enough
for team 20 do all the work to be done on
he land. The manure made by these ten
cows II they were stabbed nights, as they
should b, during the summer, and all the
dme during The winter, would be 10 loads
each, Or 100 loads in all, which, at 20 loads
per acre, would give you a thorough man.
