which we think is great improvement
upon the usual manner of preparing this
excellent dish :: Pick the oysters out of
the juice with fork. rs dry rs possible /;
stew the Juice, thickening, milk or water,
OF which the soup is to be made, until
thoroughly cooked; then drop the oys-
ters in, and just as the cooled soup be-

soup and plump oysters, luscious enough
to make you think you never tasted real

all the bones that can conveniently be
collected, break them into pieces an inch

pack them with new ashes in box or
barrel, where water will not freeze, and
keep them most with soap suds. In u
few months they will become as soft as
chalk Mixed with loan and hen ma
nure, nothing is better to use in the gar
den. A pint of this compost put into a
corn, potntoe or melon hill, will increase
the growth of the crop wonderfully. 1t
is also an excellent manure for grape

ence of many years that muck does well
for potatoes on dry land. He advises
hauling out muck in the winterOn sandy

ful of plaster. This course, he says, will
bring sound, mealy potatoes, and ut least
fair crop. Potatoes in Maine the past

quality.

The increasing liability to the failure
of our apple crops may be, In . measure,
prevented by the general planting of
such varieties as are found the most
hardy and sure to bear in unfavorable
seasons. There is very much difference
among the varieties in these respects, as
every experienced orchardist can testify.
For instance, ia the vicinity Of Column
bus, there islan old orchard, q few miles
South of town on the old Henderson
farm, of the variety known as Smiths
cider, which, for the past thirty years,
has seldom If every failed of a crop,
while failures have been quite frequent
with all Others in that vicinity as else
where. If orchards Of this variety were
plenty in central Ohio we should seldom
hear of winter apples selling as high as
81 to So per barrel. chaNNC
The Ben. Davis or New York pippin
Of the Southwestern States is another
apple of the same eharacter--but un-
fortunately both this and the preceding
are not of very good quality, although
good to sell ; and the former is of objec-
tionable habit of growth, so that nursery
men dislike to propagate the trees, and
tits necessary to top graft them.
We need to find other and better ap-
pies, equal to,these in reliability and
our orchardists will do well to be OH the
lookout for such aud bring them into
notice. .xrr. rJrHYg gtY II
Grimes Golden promises, in this lne,i
to be the greatest acquisition to our list
of valuable apples. Besides being of q
very excellent quality, 1t is the most re-
markable for hardness and fine growth
of tree and certainty of bearing. The
fruit has been exhibited and admired Mt
the meetings of archaeological Society
almost every season for the past eight or
ten years, and latterly with such testi-
mony in regard to itsptoductivepess and
value as must satisfy all in regard to it's
merits. Mr.. S. Marshall, late Of Mas
sillon and now of Cleveland, has propa-
gated the variety extensively, and" has
just issued circular In regard to it,
which those who contemplate planting
orchards will do well to read. NJ, b. b.

By one of those singular coinciden-
