ANTS IN GARDENs.-We have
known these pestst be so numerous
and destructive as nearly to ruin a
whole garden. They completely hon
ey-cmob the walks, and become an.
noying beyond measure. A French
gardner named GARNER, announ oes
that he has discovered remedy for
them, which is simply to place near
the places infested with the ants
sarcers containing a mixture of sugar
and wate-, with fair sprinkling of
arsenic-a tenth of the weight of the
sugar and water. They are very
fond of sweetened water and help
themselves freely: but in little while
they are seen staggering away, some
falling down dead, and others again
fresh comers,) dragging their dead
comrades away. So effectual was
the dose that the entire colony disap-
peared the following day.

Turnips Among Corn.

The practice of sowing turnips
among Indian corn, at the last hoe
ing, and especially where the latter
has been thinned cut by worms or
other insects, as one which cannot be
too urgently recommended. The tur-
nip is Vegetable which requires
less assistance from solor light turn
ing the incipient stages of its devel-
opment, than almost any other pant
N the whole catalogue of edibles
consequently, it is but slightly in
jured the foliage of the corn plants,
or the closeness of the atmosphere
thus created. After the corn crop
is harvested, and before frost, there
will be ample time for them to root,
especially if the soil be well cultiva-
ted. Hundreds of bushels of excel
lent turnips may frequently be grown
in this way without any appreciable
Illumination ofthe corn crop. 'EcOn-
omy is wealth" says the adage, and
it is certain that no one can
practice it without increasing to
some extent his means for future
operations and enterprises. In this
business of producing cheap crops in
substitution for the more expesive
cereals, we gain several important
advantages, omong which may be
mentioned as not the least prominent,
the saving of time, and the realization
of lucrative yield Of produce
from land prepared for another spe-
cies of root or grain. The ravages
of insects often prove fatal to many
Tegetables-especially to Indian corn !;
and when this happens, unless the
vacated land can be filled with some
crop of later growth, it must remain
either in part or wholly idle.
Again, the turnip bears late SOW
ing so well that it may be grown on
fields from which early vegetables
have been taken it succeeds we'll
after a crop of peas, beans, &c.
Bone manure, wood ashes, lime
and poudrette are all excellent art-
cles to be used in the cultivation of
turnips. Ground and crushed bones,
and bones dissolved in sulphuric ac-
id-itself possessing powerful stim-
ulant and manurial properties, makes
an admirable dressing. Gypsum al
so, is applied with success, both be-
fore and after planting. Green fer
mented manures should never be used
on this crop. Ger. Tel.

LOOK OUT FOR THE WEEDS
Whether in the garden or upon
the farm, the presence of weeds ex-
hibits the neglectful cultivator.-
The fence e-corners are the "hot beds"
of the farm for the propagation of
weeds. If the corn, potato, grass
and root crops are unnecessarily in
tested with weeds, you must expect
to have each of these crops reduced
IN yield about four times the amount
in value that expense of removing
them would be, to say nothing of the
slightly appearance presented, as well
as the disgrace upon the farmer
we knew a farmer who always culti-
waited his fence corners, so as not to
leave an inch of soil untouched. and
he informed us that the product of
this spaca fully repaid the cost, be-
side keeping bis and clear of weeds.

BUDDING.-Budding can be com
menced on the first of July, and may
be continued until the first week in
September, though it is not so GER
tain after August. Downing, who is
good authority, says budding may be
commenced with the different points
in the following order. as they come
into season: "Plums, cherries, april
cots on plums, apricots, peats, ap-
pies, ounces, nectarines and peach
es. Trees of considerable size will
require budding earlier than the
young Seeding stocks, but the opper,
alton is always and only performed
when the bark of the stock of parts
separates freely from the wood, and
when the buds of the current years
growth are some what plump, and
young wood is growing firm. Young
stock in the nursery, if thrifty, are

DRYING HERBs.-We have often
nearly annna!ly-for twenty or
thirty years, given similar directions
for preserving herbs for future use,
as the following.
''Herbs for drying for future use
should be cut just as they are coming
into flower. Dry them in the hade,
and after sufficiently dry to put away,
tie them in punches and hang in q
cool shed, or place them loosely be-
tween paper, and stow away in cup
boards or drawers-the last mode is
by far the cleanest and most approx
ed plan with the best housekeeper.-
Some, indeed, powder the leaves at
once after drying, and put away in
bags ready for USE"

BLACKBERRY WINE.-There is 40
wine equal to the blackberry wine
when properly made, either in flavor
or for medicinal purposes, and al
persons who can conveniently de so,
should manufacture enough for their
own use every year, as it is invaluable
iu sickness as a tonic, and nothing is
a better remedy for bowel Diseases
We therefor give the receipt for
making it, and having tried it, our
selves, so said the correspondent
who furnished the receipt for the
Telegraph year ago, we speak ad
visedly on.the subject
Measure your berries and bruise
them; to every gallon adding one
quart of boiling water. Let the MKT
ure stand twenty-four hours, stirring
occasionally; then strain off the liq-
uor into cask, to-every gallon ad-
ding two pounds of sugar cork tight,
and let it stand till the following Oc-
tober, and you will have wine ready
for use, without farther straining or
boiling, that will make lips smack as
they never smacked under similar
influence before
The following receipt for making
this wine, ,so-called,i is from Mrs. lIale's
New Cook Book.
"To 5 gallons ripe blackberries,
add 7 pounds of honey and 6 gallons
of water; boil, strain, and leave the
liquor to ferment then boil it again
and put it into a cask to ferment."
The first receipt, it will be perceiv-
ed, says nothing about the fermenta-
tiom, which is very important to be
attended to, and which, unless it is,
may burst the cask and spill the wine.

The Boston CultiUator says -
'Let it be a rule of every thrifty
farmer that no weed shall be allowed
to bloom on his cultivated grounds"
The same rule should also be extend
ed to the uneultivated ground-to
the corners of fences, stone heaps
and other waste places where weeds
delight to grow and where they are
too frequently allowed to go to seed.
