season, the beds should be freed from weeds
a good dressing of well rotted manure ap-
Piled, and the plants allowed to grow freely.
Fresh manure generally contains seeds of
weeds which become nuisance alter some
time Fresh stable manure contains SO
much clover and grass seed that it is very
hard to keep a garden clean when it is used.
Young asparagus beds require attention, the
soil should be hoed between the plants, and
a top dressing of short manure applied.

CLovER.-CIover differs entirely from the
cereal plants in this respect, that it sends its
main roots perpendicular downwarde, when
no obstacles stand in the way, to a depth
which the fine, fbrous roots of wheat and
barley fail to reach the principal roots of
clover branch off into creeping roots, which
again send forth fresh roots downwards
This clover, like the pea plant, derives its
principal food from layers below the arabic
surface soil and the difference between the
two consists mainly in this-that the clover.
from its larger and more extensive root sur
face, can still find suffciency of food in
fields where peas will no longer thrive. The
natural consequence is, that the subsoiI is
left proportionably much poorer by clover
than by the pea. Clover seed, on account of
its small size, can furnish from it's own mass
but a few formative elements for the young
plant and requires rich arabic surface for
Its Development but the plant takes COM
paratively but little food from the surface soil
When the roots have pierced through this.
the upper parts are soon covered with a corky
coating, and only the fine root fbres, rami-
tying through the subsoil convey food to the
plant--Liebag.

ECONOMY IN FLoRIcULrgKE:LIhe great
number of plants now used for the decoration
of the garden and pleasure ground particular
ly those suitably for bedding purposes, and
the cheap rates at which they can be procu-
red, considering the cost of material and Ia
Dor necessary for their production, renders
economy of the greatest importance in every
thing connected with the business. The use
of hot water apparatus and properly construct.
ed propagating beds is now well understood.
There is, however, very common and costly
mistake often practiced, by which much time
is lost, and the condition Of the plants greatly
impaired, viz that OF allowing the cuttings
to remain in the propagation bed longer than
is necessary often until they have made
several joints of growth. In this case they
sustain check upon being removed, SO severe
as to cause the leaves to wilt, and finally to
drop; thus making the plant unsightly
whereas, if they are removed as soon as they
have fairly commenced to form roots, little OF
no cheek will be sustained The plants, with
proper management, will be well furnished
from their base and upwards and owing to
the short time required to root such stuff,
double the number Of plants may be turned
out of the same space in the propagating bed

STABLE Floors OF GRAVEL, STONE AND
Coal TAR.-Among the materials of late rec
commended for stable floors are mixture of
coal tar with gravel and stone. The manner
in which the work is done is to take small
stones and put them in pile, pouring over
the same the gas tar, and then mixing with
shovel until the stones are coated These
stones are now laid on the floor and raked off
level, and a sufficient quantity used to make
the floor about three inches deep. Upon this
floor coarse gravel mixed in the same with tar
is placed. The mixture is effected by putting
the gravel in piles and making hole in the
top, pouring in the tar and mixing with
shovel. 1t is then spread over the stones two
inches thick.
No more tar should be used than just suffi-
Gent to coat the stones and gravel, as it will
be longer in drying. The stones and gravel
being laid as above, heavy roller weighing
400 or 500 pounds is passed over the floor
until it is perfectly compact and any places
not touched by the roller are beaten down
with a heavy maui. While the rolling and
mauling is going on. the surface should be
strewn over with fine gravel or sand, to take
up the surplus tar, and should be continued
until the surface is dry enough to walk upon
and not stick to ones shoes. The floor is
rat proof and water proof, and becomes hard
and durable, making, it is said, the best floor
that can be put into stable the only obiec-
ton being the smell of the tar, which, how
ever, is healthy. and in time passes off.

Tree PLANTING.-In planting trees this
fall, all should remember that it is requisite
to set the tree only just SO deep to enable
it to stand. for we can place earth around it,
so as to protect it from heaving off the win
ters frost; and as soon spring opens and
the ground is leveled down. the roots will
start and seek their appropriate depth. If
we dig deep hole, especially in hard clay
soil and fill 1t with good loan and set our tree
therein, we first invite the water there into
a cstern-and second, we cause a vigorous
growth of roots, until they reach the unds-
turbed clay, when a check is at once percep-
tible I; and often an orchard stands from five
to seven years without apparently making
any progress. Remember, then, and plant
your trees just 50 deep as TO cover their roots
but no more then earth up for winter
protection against frost for the first year, and
dress down again to level in the spring

ANOTHER LARGE YIELD OF PoTAToEs.-
some gentlemen were recently invited to dig
and weigh some Of the Early Rose pota-
toes in Brandon, and they make the following
report
In the first place, the plat of ground was
measured, and founi to be seven rods and
two feet in length by el,ven feet in width,
containing five rows of potatoes. The aver
age breadth between the hills was three
feet. Four of the above named were
planted with only one eye in hill, and the
fifth with two eyes.
The yield from row planted with one eye
in hill was 1876 l-2 lbs.
The rows with two eyes in hill was 2O3
"a lbs.
The product of the whole five rows was
800 lbs.
In a different portion of the entire plot OF
ground different experiment was tested, to
wit the product from single potato with
Ii eyes, an eye in hill, was 81 ID from a
single potato with IL eyes, an eye in hill,
the product was &c "a lbs.
The product from one eye in a single hill
was + "a lbs. The entire quantity of seed
planted yielding the 500 lbs. was "a lbs.

HANGING BACK Horses will be very COM
monty found TO what is termed 50 hang back
in their stalls, - the moment the stable door
is shut and they find themselves alone some
will even do this when persons are present.
This is a habit that always excites the great
est ire on the part of the groom the broom
handle or fork usually corrects tins attempt,
accompanied by swearing at the horse, and
sundry condemnations of dlio0yS his eyes, and
frequently his limbs also. We have seen
men insane enough to listen at the door, or
watch at a window till they found the horse
had committed this heinous sin, then rush
into the stable, and chastse him as unmerci-
fully as undeservedly We might with SO
much Justice punish a man because he moved
his person to get ease, when we had placed
him in a situation that rendered his position
painful but if any has found that he
could teach the generality of grooms to think
before they act, he has been more fortunate
than we have in this particular.
The whole secret of horse hanging back
is, that where the stall is much on the decline
from the manger to the stall hind post, stand
ing on an inclined plane causes his loins and
hind parts to ache intolerahly; he hangs
back in order, if possible, to get his hind legs
beyond the gutter, thus diminishing, by ma
ny degrees, his standing up hill. In good
and well laid stables, horses are not found tc
acquire this habit; SO the cause of it speaks
| for itself, and ought to be Immediately rem
edied The stall floor should be perfectly
fat from the manger till it comes within a
foot of the grating; it should then have q
fall to it of half inch. By this, the foul
feet of the horse stand on quite level ground
1t should slope in the same degree foot
each side of the CRATE, and ALEC foot behind
it. This is sure to make the wet made by
the horse run into the drain and his hind
as well as his fore legs stand level-Prairr

HEAD bitches year, as heavy rains
increase in number, the necessity of good,
substantial head drains is seen more plainly.
The soil may be well underdrained yet,
with the sudden and flooding rains which We
have had of late years, before the water can
sink in the soil to make the underdrains
valuable, away goes the food ON the surface,
sweeping perhaps the newly sown grain. to-
gether with soil from one Of the farmer's
finest lots, when a good head ditch would
have allowed no water to run on from above
and thus saved the mischief. This is espec-
tally the case around our lakes and streams,
where the ground is much descending, where,
through inefhciency Of head drains, from
shallowness, or from utter lack of such, our
spring and fall freshets make sad havoc.
Would it not be good idea for those laying
out new farms in lots, to so lay them out as
to give descent where possible for head
drains p Cor. Country Gentleman

SWEET CIDER.-To all lovers of this ex-

piece of useful information to give. Cider
If taken when first made, brought to boiling
heat, and canned, precisely as fruit is canned,
will keep from year to year without any
change of taste. Canned up in this way in
| the fall, it may be kept half dozen years
or longer, as good when first made 1t is
better that the cider be settled and poured
off from the dregs. and when brought to
boiling heat the scum that gathers on the sur
face taken off but the only precaution neces-
sary to the preservation Of the cider is the
sealing of it up air tight when boiling hot
Last fall my wife canned several gallons of
sweet cider in this way, and it kept perfectly
pure and sweet until opened for use in the

OPENING OF A CHURCH.

The members of DR.. Reads church, the
United Presbyterian church of this city, were
able for the first time, to assemble last Sab
bath morning in the basement Of the place Of
worship which they have been engaged in
erecting with so much perseverance and zeal
1t was an occasion to them of deep and SOL
emn interest The day was one of unusual
beauty, and the temperature of the atmos
phere was mild and pleasant, so that some Of
the oldest members of the church found nc
inconvenience in being present. Among them
were two ladies of more than eighty years Of
age, who assisted in the formation of the first
Presbyterian Church in the city of Richmond
They have been all their lives active in every
good work, and with devout gratitude came
to render thanks to God for giving them once
more a church they could call their own
Tenderness and soemnity seemed to pervade
every heart.
The upper part of the church is not finished,
and probably will not be for some time to come.
But the Lecture Room (entirely above ground,
though in the basement) is itself large and
comfortable place of worship, and when the
folding doors, that separate it from the Infant
School-room, are thrown open as they were
on last Sabbath, it will accommodate congre
CATION of five or six hundred persons. Both
rooms were filled, but not crowded to excess.
This house of worship has been erected in
troublous times, and it required firm and
abiding faith in the promises of God to enable
its members to persevere in their arduous un-
dertaking. The smile of God has rested upon
their labors, and they are cheercd and ANNA
ted by the hope that his favor will yet be more
sig nally manifested towards them as they meet
together from Sabbath to Sabbath for his
worship.
Their pastor was deeply impressed with the
solemnity of the occasion. and in his morning
prayer, which may be considered as dedica
ton of this new temple to the worship of AL
mighty God, returned devout and hearty
thanks for the success with which it had
pleased him to crown their humble efforts to
promote his glory and the extension of the
Redeemer's kingdom.
The venerable father of the pastor was
present throughout all the exercises of the
meeting, looking very infrm and old, yet cheer
full and hopeful in his old age. He is now
verging on his SSth year.
The sermon of DR.. Read was particularly
appropriate to the occasion. Some portions
of it were eloquent and impressive, and the
whole was well calculated to produce salutary
effect upon all who listened to it. 1t would no
doubt crafty his friends to see the substance
of it in print. 1t would serve as an appropri-
ate memento of an occasion full of interest to
them. The preacher was happyin the selection
of his text 1t was taken from the l32d Psalm,
and consisted of the Sth and 9th verses {:
Arise, 0 Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the
ark of thy strength. Let thy priests be clothed

Resignation Concurred INA meeting OF the
congregation of the Third Presbyterian church
was held on Tuesday, Nov. 3d. to consider the
application of Rev. P. B. Price for a dissolu.
ton of his pastoral connection. Rev. DR.. Read
was chosen moderator.
The following paper was adopted after the
pastor had made full statement of his reasons
for seeking the proposed change, and urged
the acceptance of his resignation:
The members of this congregation, con
vened pursuant to regular notice, having
heard the resignation rendered by our pastor,
Rev. Philip B. Price, and the reasons moving
him thereto, and believing that he has been
led to this decision by conscientious sense OF
duty, whilst we regret very deeply the neces-
sity under which he feels called to separate
himself from us, we do not feel at liberty to
oppose his request in the premises.
1--WE cordially and gratefully testify to his
patient, persevering, and affectionate fidelity
as a pastor and teacher We commend him
to the esteem and confidence Of Christian
brethren, and pray God to direct and prosper
him, making him abundantly successful in win
ming souls to the Saviour and in the upbuild-
ing of His kingdom
MIR. Sampson was appointed as commits
sioner on the part of the church to lay these
proceedings before Presbytery. -Richmoad
