HYDRoPATHY IN THE GARDEY.-We
suggest a few remarks concerning the use
of water in the garden. There is no doubt
that a great many people make much un-
necessary work for themselves by water
ing their towering plants when they do
not need it. They seem to think hat the
moment the soil begins to look at all dry
that they must begin to water, and out
comes the watering pot. and each plant re-
ceives a little dribble, moiStening the
ground and doing about as much good as
to spit on the plant. Now it by no means
follows that even if the soil be dry a cou-
pie of inches from the surface, that plants
require watering. for well established plants
have their roots running deeply into the
ground, beyond the reach Of harm from
any ordinary drought. Very small plants
newly set out, or your seedlings, may need
moderate waterings every two or three days
if the weather be dry.
Whenever it becomes necessary to water
established plants, do it thoroughly, and
give them such a soaking that they will not
require another in a week. Frequent wa
terings harden the soil around plants, rem
dering it imperviOus to ordinary gentle
showers and dews, and excluding the air
from the roots. If the number of plants,
is not too great, it will be better to make
a little trench around each one, pouring the
water into that, and then drawing the soil
over Il. By this means you will avoid the
baking of the soil consequent upon the or
binary manner of watering Country
Gentleman.

And seemed in great distress,

MANAGEMENT OF CUTTINGs.-The fol.
lowing direc ions by Mr.. A. S. FULLER
on the management of cuttings, made at a
recent meeting of the Brooklyn Hort. So
ciety, will be interesting to our practical
readers:
Hardy cuttings-that is from out door
hardy wooded plants, such as ~currants, will
succeed best if made in September when the
wood is ripe; they are cut just under an
eye or bud and left about six inches long
planted in rows; by spring they will be
ready to make a large growth. Be sure to
pack the earth in tight at the bottom of the
cutting or they will not succeed. In this
way NEST of the hardy outdoor plants can
be ~prOpagated, such as the Rose Of
Sharon, Spircas, Deutzias, &c. For the
grape two eyes are best, the top n near
ly covered.
The Delaware grape, which is one of the
hardest vines to propagate, can be readily
done by taking small cuttings before the
frost and planting where they are to grow,
covering well during the winter with leaves,
&c, and by spring they will be we'll cal
lOused over and ready to make good shoots.
Of soft-wooded plants, take off part of the
old wood along, and they will grow more
readily. Ounce and other things of that
kind will do better this way. Evergreens,
such as the Arbor Vitae, Juniper, &C., if
small cuttings are put in a frame outdoors
and covered with a sash, whiteEashed, they
will grow very easily. Some kinds
of plants will grow best and only from cut
tings of the roots, such as the Paulownia,
Spireas, Blackberries. Raspberries, &c.
Peach will grow readi y in Georgia from
cuttings, but here winters are too long and
cold. Tie most favorable state for cuttings
to grow in, is when the roots will form
and not produce any foliage. Layers are
so near a cutting that he said he would
mention a few ways that were practiced by
bending a branch down and covering with
earth late in the fall, they will root the
first year; to facilitate the roofing they are
partly cut through, so that the earth can
in contact with the inner bark. He
showed a Pink which had been treated in
that way in August, and now it was a per-
feet mass of roots, and ready to be separa-
ted from the old plant and put in a pot;
if This had not been cut, it would not have
rooted in two years. Layers from ever
green's can only be made while the sap is
in full vigOr, for if cut at any other time,
will throw out the r%esinous matter
prevent the sap from forming roots
This is why so few of the gardeners sue
iced in raising choice evergreens.

RECEIPTS FOR HARD SoAP.-1. 6 lbs.
washing soda, 6 lbs. fat, 8 lbs. unslacked
lime, l ~teacupful fine salt, and 8 gallons
soft water. Put the soda and lime in a
tub, and pour over them the water boiling
hot. Stir to dissolve. Let it stand until
it is clear and all dissolved, then pour of
the clear liquid. Add the fat and salt and
boil all together four hours. Then ponr
into pans or deep dishes to cool. Then
cut out into bars or squares to harden.
TallOw makes the most beautiful white
soap. There should be very little of the
sediment left after the liquid is poured
from the lime and soda. The sediment
left is a purifier of sinks, etc.
2. To MAKE SOAP WITHOUT GREAsE.-
l lb. rosin soap, l lb. sal soda, l OF. borax.
Dissolve the soda and borax in 4 quarts of
rain or soft water. Then add the soap,
and boil until dissolved. Pour out to cool.
Cut in bars.
The above first receipt has been tried,
and viii make more than 80 lbs. of excel
lent white hard soap, at very small cost.
To the farmer, the outlay will only be for
soda, "a cents. Perhaps the addition of

o. who would wish to live where flowers ncve
bloom
And where no honcd blossoms send forth rich
perfume,
How prison.like and drcary, would be our eathly
home,
If flowers all should perish, and spring.timc never
come.
Where would the thinking sPoct find images of
thoughtl
When he'd cembind the graces, and paint the human
heart:
Are flowers not all emblcms and spcaklthey not to
us!
OF innocence and purity, Of Truth and graccfnness.
Young lips to roses compare, how lilly.like the
browl
Tho glowing eyes, the violcs, their winning power
show.
The rose, is like the gentle breeze made sweet by
many flower
That gently stoops to kiss the bud, just moistcned by
the shower.
To ornament the Bride, the blossoms white and red,
Are wovo into wreath, and placed upon the head
Aud enc around the dead, as cnboms Of our love,
We throw the fresh wild evergreens, that speak OF
life above.
The mountain, val6 and road'sides are strGwn with
flowers fair,
To feed eyes with beauty, with fragrance fill tbs
sair,
To teach us human frailty, how transient cartll's
joysl
These slender passing beauties, our God in love en-
poys.
Then who would wish to live, where flowers ncve

And where no hencd blossoms, send forh rich per

Theyspeak to us of Paradise the Saints Eternal home
Where springtimc is perpetual, and winters neve
