broke out in large boils, which discharged
much offensive matter, and at the same

GREEN AND HoT-HoUsEs .-Tempera.
ture, moisture, and ventilation are the thret
essentials to be regarded. The amount OF
heat will depend upon the kind of plants
but in any case sudden changes are to b,
avoided. In greenhouses, where plant,
are merely kept over, they will do well i
the temperature is not allowed to sink be
low 40 degrees, but there are few thing.
that flower we'll If kept less than GO degrees
Bulbs bring the pots forward, q few
at a time, gradually to the warmth ant
light. Remove the flower stalk as soon a.
out Of bloom. but allow the leaves to re
main to perfect the bulb.
ConlslltdS-Use the syringe freely. A
dry, warm atmosphere causes the buds &c
drop. Those In dwelling houses need &c
have the foliage sponged.
Carnations.-Keepra rather cool, with plen,
ty of light, and do not over alter.
Cact' Most of these need rest and but
little water, except the Epiphyllums, which
are winter blooming, need warmth ant
sufficient water.
iS.-Keep the young plants gro "
Ing rapidly, and train to good shape by
pinching.
Plar0onIumS.-These, to grow and flower
well, need to be as near as possib BILE to Tie
glass. Judlclous pruning and tying will
make shapely specimens.

CONFLICT IN MIssIssIPPI.-We learn
through direct channel (says the Ma. h
vile Daily PreSs) that a confct has a..
ready broken out between Provisional Gov.
ernor sharkey and Judge Humphreys, the
Governor-elect. Humphreys hates the
federal authority so badly that he wants
sharkey to get out Immediately and le'
him assume the office of Governor, while
Governor shsrkey, on the other hand, re
fuses to abdicate il until ordered to do So
from Washington. The President has in
siructed Governor sharkey to hold on IT,
his Office until It is ascertained whether
Congress will admit the Mississippi dele
CATION, and recognise her as a state in the
Union. 1t is understood that the Pres
dent is justly Indignant at the ill-concealt d
disloyalty oil the galvanized rebels In that
state, and may possibly g We them severe

KITCHEN GARDEN A good gardener,
like the sailor, keeps a Upright look a.
head" He who shuts up his garden
gate at the first hard frost and does no
more work until spring opens, is always
behind hand. There are frequently, even
In December, many days In which the
pillow and epade may be proatably kept at
work In preparing land for spring plant
ing. Clean up all neglected rubbish and
save go much trouble In spring. At cdd
times lay In stock OF stakes, poles and
brush that are likely n be needed. See
that fences are tight and that gates will
shut and stay 80.
CtlsrV Protect the tops by means OF
leaves or litter. For q small quantity, a
shelter of old boards may be put over, with
straw or marsh hay beneath.
Cold FfdmeS.-The chief point in sue
cessful winteriug of cabbage and other
plants, Is 10 give all the ventilation posi-.
BILE, without exposing the plants TO too
great cold. Mice are often destructive
and must be trapped or poisoned. Have
mats and shutters at hand to use in severe
weather.
Compoa.-winter is the great season
for accommodating a supply of fertilizers.
The piggery, horse and COW stables and
privy, are all to be made the most of.
MUCK, or In lack oil that, olack earth should
be at hand to absorb all liquids. Look
about for other supplies, aud see what
material may be had from breweries, dis
ulleries, slaughter houses, and various
manufactures, not forgetting street sweep
ings. There is in every neighborhood
something going to waste that the soil
should have.
Hot bsds.-One who Is handy with tools
may make, paint and glaze his own sash
and prepare frames.
Sseds.-Haye the homo rated stock well
cared for. Clean out all of doubtful quail
ity or Identity. Ascertain what is to be
bought and DO ready to purchase as soon
as seedsmen offer their stock.
Tools Repair while there Is leisure.
II there be no place set apart for tools,
make room In the barn or some other
building and have place for everything,
