HuLLEp CoRN.-This is the cheap
est Of all kinds of food, and is GER
tainly one of the best. 1t has been
a tavorite dish in New England, since
the days of the Pilgrims, and it is
wonder that it is so seldom found on
farmers tables in the west. Eaten
either warm or cold, with milk or
with dressing cream and sugar, or,
as it is preferred BY all young Yam
KEGS, with syrup or molasses, it is a
''dish fit to set before a king" 1t is
also excellent for a breakfast dish
when warmed up in little fat or
butter. The Country Gentleman
gives the following recipe for prepa-
ring it: "Shell dozen ears Of ripe
dry corn; put in an iron kettle and
cover with cold water; put in the
corn bag of two teacups full Of
fresh wood ashes, and boil until the
corn looks yellow, and tastes strong
of the alkali: then take out the bag,
and boil the corn in the lie over an
hour; then pour off the I've; add
fresh water and simmer until the
corn swells. If the bulls do not then
come off by stirring, turn off tie wa.
ter, rub them off wit a towel; add
more water, and simmer for three or
four hours, often stirring, to keep it
from burning; when it swells out and
becomes soft and white, add salt to
liking, and let the water simmer
away" The use Of the potash, in
preparing this dish, is to dissolve the
silica which is contained in the hull.
This I've water, in which the corn is
boiled, is excellent to moisten meal
for an occasional food for hogs, or
may be applied as a manure for the
garden.

HOT BEDS.
For all practical purposes, March
is the most suitable month for max
ing hot-beds, and every one who sows
or occupies a garden should have one.
Farmers have plenty of material for
hot beds-manure, dead leaves, leaf.
mold, muck, boards, etc. Glass is
not very dear; q few sashes 6x3 feet
will not cost much, and great many
plants of different kinds may be
raised in separate compartments Of
the same bed, and kept in an ilnprov-
ing condition by pricking them out
into cold frames sheltered borders
as fast as they become large enough.
Plants may be grown in hot-beds
Without glass, by covering the frames
with oiled paper, cotton cloth, or has: {.
mating nailed on laths so as to he
easily taken off the beds, or put on
according to the stage of growth in
the plants or the state Of the weather.
Plants may be started in boxes in
some warm room in the house and
transplanted into cold frames with
sheltered borders on the ground when
large enough.
THE FLOWER GARDEN AND LAWN.
The Winter protection of plants
should not be removed until there is
no danger to be apprehended from
frost. A few days Of fine genial
weather in March is often succeeded
by severe frost. AS soon as the
weather becomes suitable for trans
planting, the early blooming flower
ing shrubs should be set out, so that
their growth may not be checked by
their removal. The roots should be
damaged as little as possible in taking
them up. Perennial flowers, such as
reonies, phloxes, heliotropes, ETC.,
should be divided and reset when the
stools become large. This should be
done as early in the Spring as the
condition of the soil will admit. Cut
tings of desirable hardy shrubs, such
as altheas, honeysuckles, spireas.
weigelias, ETC., should be taken off
before the BUDS begin to swell and
kept in boxes Of sand or earth in the
cellar until the soil and weather are
suitable for planting.
Lawns, grass plats, and borders
should have a dressing of fine stable
manure or rich compost before the
grass commences to grow. Raking
off the decayed leaves is injurious 10
grass, as this is natural mulch
which is deposited for the protection
Of the roots and the enriching of the
soil.

FARMERS GARDENS.

Verv few farmers have well arrang-
ed, or well stocked gardens. The
greater number Of them are conten-
ted with patches of currants and
goosebcrries, raspberrics and black
berries, and it may be, small patch
of strawberries. There is but little
attempts at order, and very little care
is bestowed on the bushes or canes
which constitute the small fruit de-
partment. Vegetables and plants
are generally mixed together in such
way that neither can be cultivated
by horses l.bor-and manual labor
being not always available, the after
culture of the crops is either entirely
neglected or performed in very
superficial manner. How much bet
ter would it be if two or three acres
were devoted to fruit and vegetable
garden, in which the bushes, canes,
and plants of every kind night be
grown in rows or drills, easily cutiva'
ted by horse labor, and accessible tt
The hand-hoc in every place where
the plow or cultivator cannot reach
Some very successful growers o.
small fruits find it advisable to keel
the rows of bushes, canes, ETC., so fa
aSunder, that rows Of vegetables cal
be raised between them. Thi
arrangement insures manuring tol
the soil, and the vegetables keep thu
surface shaded from the sun, and coo

PreseryatiOn Of Fence.POsts.

Any kind OF timber, when employ.
ed for fcnce-posts, will be more than
twice as durable if allowed to be.
come thoroughly seasoned before
being set in the ground. The dura-
bility of seasoned posts may be pro-
noted, so as to make them last an
age, by the application of a heavy
coat of coal-tar to the portion buried
in the earth, and few inches above
the surface Of the ground. Some
farmers set the gronnd-end in hot tar
snd let it boil fifteen minutes. When
cool, cover with coal-tar, thickened
with ground slate or ground BRICK
The boiling sti1ens the albumen and
causes the pores to absorb tar. The
coating prevents the action of mois-
ture.
But this treatment Of green posts
would do very little good, and, per-
haps mischief. A boiling in lime
water is also beneficial. Timber that
is first water-logged and then well
dried, lasts well; because the water
soaks out the acid that hastens the
decay. Others conten that the bet
ter way is to season the post well be-
fore setting it; and when the post
hole is filled within ten inches of the
surface of the ground, to apply a
heavy coat or tar and fill up with
earth.
AS fence-posts always decay first
near the surface of the ground, it is
only necessary to protect few inch
es above the surface, and about a
foot below it. The timber begins to
decay, usually, on the surface Of the
posts. Therefore if the surface can
be protected by some autiseptic ma
tcrial, posts will last a lifetime
Many kinds Of timber will not last
five years if set in the ground while
