GARDEN WALKs.-As many persons have at
times large heaps OF coal ashes, they can dispose
of them to no better advantage than by hauling
them into their garden alleys. Remove from four
to six inches of the dirt and having screened the
coal and cinders, first apply the coarse stuff then
oyster shells If you have any on hand, small
stones, pieces Of glass or brick and top dress with
the ashes. Roll H. and you will have one of the
best walks ever seen in garden. The ashes be-
come very hard, and are never wet, winter,
or summer. If the weather gives the water the
least chance to get away. In summer, five minis
utes after a shower there will scarcely be enough
moisture to dampen the souls of your shoes. If
there is not sufficient ashes for all the alks, Gems
mence with the principle ones, and in couple OF
wears the garden will be complete Then, each
spring after give them slight top~dressug OF the
ashes, which will about consume your annual
stock - Farmer and Gardener.

PREPARE FOR THE BIRDs.--If you wish to se'
cure the aid ofthe incest little garden help in the
world, put up plenty of bird>boxes. For the sake
of good taste make the boxes like little cottages
have them with holes doors of different sizes
SO the martins can get in at some, the bluerblrds
at others and the little at others still theI
the big birds will notdrive off the little ones II
is a very good way To fix the bird box upon the
top of stout postso it will stand about eight feet
high when the post is set in the ground then plant
the post firmly in the ground and teach the chile
dren and fools II OF to disturb the little teathered
folks in their cottage homes The boxes for mar
tins should beplaced higher and more retired than
for the smaller birds On the top a barn OF
carriage house, or upon post twenty feet high
are good locations.
The martins will keep off the hawks from
the chicSen yard and the blue birds
and wrens will snap up myriads of pestiferous
insects that would prey upon the fruit; and will
cheer you with their grateful music, and repay
your pSins more than thousand told OHIO Far
