Hints on Cabbage GrOWing.

A failure of this crop is common
from the disease called 'anbury," or
"fngers and toes;" the roots swell
and after a time rot off; new roots are
often sent out which keep the plant
alive, and give hopes ofsuceess. But
the disease soon reaches the new roots,
and after hard struggle the plant
dies, or starts too late to make a good
head, Fortunately, this most destruc-
tive disease generally showes itself by
the time the plants are large enough
to set out, and where the roots show
the least tendency to swelling, the
plants should be rejected at once
The grand remedy of the cabbage
growers who supply our large vegeta-
bic markest is, never to plant the
same piece of ground with this crop
two years in succession. The cabbage
is more sensitive than most other
plants, to feeding upon its own decay.
For this reason, unusual care should
be taken in preparing hot-beds for
starting plants, during this month
IF the same soil have been used for
starting plants the year before, it will
be very likely to impart the disease
to the young plants. Very much de-
pends upon the preparation of the seed
bed, whether it be under glass or not.
For late plants it is well enough to
plant the seed in the hills, but for the
early crop, it is indispensable to have
either cold-frame plants, kept through
the winter, or those started as early as
March, in gentle hot bed. Whatev-
er the amount of manure used, there
should be at least six inches of fresh
soil upon the top. Leaf mold from
the woods, mixed with sand or
with yellow loan, makes a good
seed bed in which to start the
plants. The writer has always sue
ceeded better with cabbage upon green
sward broken up the previous Fall,
than upon any other ground. In such
soil, we may use almost any quantity
Of stable manure with decided aavan-
tage TO the plants. Hog manure is
always to be avoided. I have never
yet succeeded in composing it with SO
much muck as to make it entirely safe
for this crop. Ashes are excellent,
both as a manure and as a safeguard
against insects. They should be used
in the seed bed, and around the plants
soon after transplanting.-COr. Am.

MEssRs. EDIToRs Like Elihu of
old, I will ''shesO mine opinion" In
1874, having occasion to put up q
blacksmith's shop, a building Of all
others exposed to FIRE and destruction
of shingles, I took the precaution to
prepare the sawed shingles with which
the roof and walls were covered, in
the following manner
Having a large trough, I put into it
a bushel of quieklime, half a bushel
refuse salt, and FIVE or six pounds
potash, adding water to slack the lime
and dissolve the vegetable slkali and.
the salt-well knowing that pieces of
an old lime pit, soap barrel, or a
pork tub were not the best kindling
stuff, and having long since learned,
while at the Vineyard Sound, that hot
saltwater Whitewash would endure far
longer than that made with fresh
water,-absorbing moisture, striking
into the wood and not peeling and
washing off. I set the bundles of the
shingles nearly to the bands in the
wash for two or more hours; then
turned them end for end. ra
When laid on the roof aud walls,
they were brushed over twice with the
LIQUID, and were brushed over at inter-
vals of two or three years after. At
the expiration of11 years, (seyen for
ges having been used, single had
not been burnt, nor had nail started.
The shingles had become a1ati-Phlogis-
tic, and the acid from the coal ard the
atmosphere had been neutralized BY
the alkalies, so the nails remained
entire. The shingles now appear
about as sound as new. The Whitened
and hardened shingles in the wake Of
the chimney on any old house, as re-
ferred to by friend Goodspeed, so
abundantly confirm this theory and
support the practice, that he who runs
or rides, may read, and 60 and do
likewise. JOHN MEARs.

A penny tract has appeared which
reads A. 9ollows;
ssWhat I sUas and f0hat I anas---
Dear Reader I'll once resided with z
Tim. iii, 4, and walked in Eph. il 2,
and my continual conversation st that
time is still recorded in Eph. ii, 2.
"I heard one day that an inherit
ance had been purchased for me, and
a description of it reached me; you
will find it at 1 Peter, j. 4.
"One who resided in Heb. iv. IA,
had purchased it, and paid an extra
ordinary price for it; but to say the
truth, I did not believe this report, as
| was entirely unacquainted with the
MAN, ,andl long experience had convinced
me that strangers NEVER gave favors
through love alone, and friends seldom
gave any faYors that cost much.
"However, l called at2 Tim. iii. 10,
as my own prospects at Bph. ii. L
were as bad as they could be,

2 Cor. v. 1, and the invitations to it,
which you will see put up at Isa. iy. /,
2, and by John at vii, 81, are wonder
fully inviting to the poor and needy.
"The house has only one door, and
it was some time before l saw the.
door, at John K, 9.
"My permanent address will now be
2 Cor. v. 1 but if you call any day at
Heb. iv. 16 you will meet me and
many others. We are daily in the
habit of meeting there.
eff you call, attend to what the
servant says at Luke xiv. p, and you
may depend upon what ther servant

The AfTeclIOns the FOOd Of lie.

The affections are the true food of
life. They underlie ell conduct
From them conduct departs, and to
them it returns. To many, life is
absolute famine without love, and a
perpetual feast with it. There be
some who, if they are not loved, and
they have no liberty of loving, though
you place them never so high, though
you surround them with every element
touching their vanity, walk sepulchral.
No matter what they have, they are
not fed unless they are fed inwardly.
They were made to feed at the heart,
and not through any other part of
them. And there are many that are
full, and strong, and happy when feed
ing upon love, who, when that is taken
away, are utterly broken down and
good for nothing; are like one that is
starving to death. With such persons,
while the heart is filed, the house is
like a palace upon which the sunlight
rests by day, and whose gisncing
windows make artificial day at night.

no Extermlnate Pea.Rugs.

"What shall I do to rid my. peas of
bugs ?" exclaim both gardeners and
farmers. And we will attempt a re-
ply. The pea-weevil, small, brown
bug or fly, appears early in the Spring,
at the time the first crops Of peas are
forming their pods. He stings the
tender pod, right against the nascent
pea, and deposits an egg. Sometimes
he punctures every pea. A grub is
soon hatched, which eats his way into
the heart of the pea. Here he grows
apace, and by the time the pea is ripe
he is full grown, about an eighth of
an inch long. He is now a white
grub, and has eaten out nearly one
half of the pea. His next step is to
pass into the pupa state, where he
remains until the last of autumn,
when he becomes black beetle, and
is prepared, on the opening of Spring,
to attack young peas and to reproduce
his kind. This being the natural his
tory Of the insect, we may judge when
and how to attack him, The black
bird, crow and oriole are his bone
enemies, but they do little towards
exterminating him. Of the several
methods employed successfully, here
is one: 4
Make as many wooden boxes as
you have varieties of seed, and fit them
with tight covers. After gathering,
sorting and drying the seeds, put three
or four bits of camphor, the size of a
pea, into each box, shake we'll together
and put away. The bugs viii be dis
gusted. Another way is, to scald the
seed for about half minute in boiling
water, just before planting. This will,
atleast, destroy the grubs in the seed.
If peas are buggy, we usually take our
seed, peck at a time, and just before
sowing, pour in boiling water enough
to cover them then stir until cool,
and sow. The scalding has never
appeared to injure the germs, while it
utterly destroys the bugs, and hastens
the sprouting. IF toe large q mass Of
peas. be takeR togetheP, Or if rapid
stirring b omitted they might he n
iured. IS s tho heat.
Another is this Gather the peas as
soon as ripe, dry them for two days
in the sun Then put, about pint at
time, in colander, cover with pan,
set them over a vessel of boiling water,
keeping them there until the steam
has penetrated the whole mass of seed.
Then spread them out to dry, and put
away IN boxes or papers. This will
kill the pupa, while it will not injure
the germ of the seed.
Peas sown as late as the middle of
June, are seldom infested with the
weevil, because its period for deposit
ing eggs is then past. 1t is common
and good practice to SOW peas for the
next years seed very late in the sea-

ne the same sweet story, to-day, they did
years ago.
Reader, come with NE thro' the little
gate. and up the grass-grown path where
giant naples throw their deep green sha,
dows. You see our vine-covered home was
an unpreteuding one-but We loved 1t, for
1t held our heart treasures. Sister Luly
and were early left motherless. L can
lust remember that dreadful day, when
tbev bore our dead mother down this path
and laid her to rest on that hillside yon-
der Father never ceased to mourn for
her-he seemed so silent and sad, leaving
Ju'v and to find companions among the
birds and flowers that made home OF this
tangled old garden. This footpath back
Of the house leads Us through the meadow
~ the brook. Ever since Luly could walk,
7 have led her down this path on pleasant
june days, filing her chubby hand with
flowers that nodded their heads to us from
the taN grass. Now that we have come to
the little moss-oovered bridge, let US seat
ourselves and watch the bright water as 1t
comes murmuring along under the aged
forest trees. La this favorite resort, can
see her now, on the green, velvety bank,
the water ripping over her tiny bare feet.
Sometimes she would wade out into the
stream after water-illies, to weave into her
bright hair; and, when tired of them, she
would throw them back upon the water,
and watch them float slowly down the
stream. Luly was fair, ike her mother
with hazel eyes, and sunny brown hair,
that was parted back in shining waves
from the whitest brow | ever saw. But
l.r greatest charm was the look of inno-
cence and purity that shone from the
depths Of her changeful eyes. Our home
was so quiet and secluded, that the fresh
ness Of life's morning remained unmixed
with worldly wisdom. Sitting here, she
would listen by the hour to the music of
the swaying branches overhead, or watch
the slow-sailing clouds as they were reaec-
ted in the water.
Blessings on thee, gentle sister. for
altho' thou hast gone to gladden. anothors

two graves on the hillside and the home
