CURRANTs AND GoosEnEREiEs.-It is not
too late yet TO set out cuttings of the Currant
and GOosebcrry. We lind that some people
allow their old bushes to die out without
knowing how or at least neglccting TO renew
their stock, when there is nothing in the
catalogue of reproduction easier Take cut
tings of last years wood from six to twelve
inches in length, and push them into the
ground where they are desired to grow,
press the earth around them firmly with the
foot. lfhces instead of bushes are preferred.
cut all the eyes going beneath the surface of
the ground, mulch them and let them alone
After some experience We prefer the bush
mode. They last for a generation, by cutting
out the very old or dead wood annually !;
whereas, when the trees decays, there's an
end of it.
We prefer the old rel Dutch currGnt to
any other, and especially the sensation
varieties constantly being brought to notice.
The white varieties, though very pretty and
large are more acid than the red, and the
bushes not so tlourishing or long-liycd. The
Black Naples should also be in every garden,
they are just as easy cultiyatingas as the others,

AGRICULTURAL.
Cultivate the can,oioupe.


There is no reason in the world why our
farmers generally and all who have little
ground to spare, should not have their regu-
lar crop of Canteloupes upon their own
premises, with the other productions of the
farm or garden. They are no more difficult
to produce than some other crops regularly
cultivated Of course TO raise good cante-
loupes 1t will require attention somewhat
different, but this should deprive none of
the enjoyment of an aDnual supply Of this
most delicious fruit. We therefore print
again our own mode of cultivation.
For the Cauteloupe, sandy loan is al
ways to be preferred; but any light, friable
soil, with southern exposure, free from
prevailing moisture, will answer. The
ground should be converted into n fine
tilth-the hills should be dug out to the
depth of ten or twelve inches, eighteen
inches in diameter, which should be filed
with one-third well rottcd short manure,
one-third good sand Should the soil not
possess any, and one-third rich earth. we'll
mixed The hills should DC from eight 10
twelve feet apart each way, as room may
allow, and the seed, say five to a hill, should
be planted over the whole hill an inch below
the surface When the sprouts are two
| inches high, give them q sprinkling of wood
ashes, while the dew is on, or after watering
them, and repeat three or four times during
the two following weeks. This will drive
away the insects. When they are six inches
high remove all but two or three vines, ac-
| cording TO the space between the rows, and
carefully put roa,d, not to the vines, little
guano. In removing the weeds from the
beds, the vines should not be disturbed, as
the rootlets which penetrate the earth from
the vines, and which supply the principal
nourishment to the fruit, win be destroyed
Nothing more is needed to yield an amount
of this delicious melon that will astonish
the uninitiated, and of quality uneguai,d
by the best productions of jersey. At least
this is our experience. From ten to twenty
hills are sufficient for family.
Care, however, must be taken to procure
good seed. All things considered, we rcgarc
the nutmeg form Of melon the best fol-
Pennsylvania soil.
1t answers an admirable purpose, in pro
tecting the young plants from the mcor
bug, to SOW few radish seed around tho
hills near to the plants, at the time of putting
in the melon seed We preserved our young
plants in this way. last year, without tht
least injury from this destructive insect
