Cultivation of CauIiiiOWer.
HvSKY DoRY.

The different. varieties Of the caulifow-
or may be classed among the luxurics Of
the garden. They may justly be ranked
as the most delicate and desirable of the
Brassica family and need only to be bet
ter known to secure general cultivation.
An Impression often prevails that they
are difficult to grow; an uncerten and
not very remunerative crop. This may,
to great extent, be removed or rcmedied
by knowledge of their habits of growth
and blooming, for the edible portion may
be termed the flower. N ,.rs.,f
The caulifowcr succeeds best in a rich,
clay loan, worked to depth of two to
three feet, and prepared by free use Of
well decomposed compost Their greatest
drawbacks are found in absence of moist
ure and the blighting effects of the heat
of the sun. To remedy this, for early
planting, measures should be taken to
have plants matured for setting as early
in April as the ground can be prepared
and the absence of severe frosts will per-
nit. To accomplish this, Aarket garden
crs raise plants from seed sown in Sept,
which after several transplantings, are fn-
ally placed in the soil of cold frame,
and there remain until time for spring
planting.
In the most severely cold attitudes Of
the United States this is difficult, and
seed is, therefore, sown in hot-beds, as
soon as large enough, thus thinning them
out and ensuring stocky growth. If these
plants are set early and well cultivated, a
large proportion of them will produce good
heads. If theweather is dry when near
ing the heading, the plants should be wa
tered two or three times week, the earth
about the roots baing hoed into a cup
shape, to hold the water. If practicable
to use manure water, all the better.
Plants should be set three feet apart,
and the sell stirred often, to keep it loose
and fresh, and destroy any weeds grow
ing.

let it die, it produced fair crop Of fruit
Its conn anions continued comparatively
barren.
In an orchard four or fve years set,
(too young to bear), some trees. were in
jured by mice, all slightly save one, and
that was completely girdled. Its owner
bridged the spot where the bark was
wanting, by inserting cions, and the sap
flowed on in its wonted course once
more, though in diminished stream
Blossoms put forth and fruit formed, which
wisely, however, was removed, and the
tree grew well.

observations blythe Way.

We are one of the travelling public
We often attend the Episcopal Church.
We ne, er fail to get mixed in our ideas
but we never go to s'eep. Not conclusive
to sleep-the Episcopal service.
Sometimes the minister reads and the
folks all stand, again he r. ads and every
body sits. Again he reads and 'on your
knees % seems to be the order Of exercis-
IS. Fairly settled on the hassock and
our eyes deyoutly closed till the Amen,
when, presto. universal change.
The choir stands up without as much as
"by your leave" Sometimes they talk
to music, again they sing to music. Then
in part of the service there seems TO be
strife between the choir and congrega-
ton. The choir are bound to sing "Glory
be to thee . Lord'' before the folks get
on to their feet, and the folks are bound
they shall not. They generally come out
about even. il tf
First time we went, sexton showed US
into pew with such pretty girl. Eye
like round pieces Of mahogany set in al
mond shaped pieces Of curd. Eyelashes
less than an inch-and-a-half long and q
mouth-well don't talk. She had on curls
and braids and yellow kid gloves. She
handed us common '-prayer-book done
in uncommon binding, open to the place.
We looked at her and dropped our head
on our shirt-front in token of our appreci-
alton. Got on all right for awhile, then
heard a woman behind US say "Bow down
thine ear" looked to see if she meant
us, found she didn't, looked back. Pret-
ty girl and everybody else saying things
that weren't IN our book. Pretty girl
reached out her yellow kid glove
Thought she wanted to shake bands, we
were willing but mistaken. She ewanted TO
to find the place for us. We let her ev-
cry time. Thought how nice it would be
to come to the next service, then woman
behind us said rAnd in the evening they

ceive cultivation as before indicated, and
may be expected to perfect the best heads

Amateurs have succeeded inobtaining good

light cellar, giving them room, air, and
water if needed. .
The seed lists show a great number Of
varieties, alls. as fari-as an experience
goes, proving successful uader favorable
circumstances,
For early planting, the most popular
now sare the Early Efurt, Early Paris,
and Half Early Paris, better known as
Thorburn's Nonpareil. The Early Paris
is very sure to head, the bloom being a
delicate straw color. The Nonpareil has,
with US, nearly always been success pro-
ducing fine, compact, white heads.
Of the later sorts, the Walcheren,
Large Asiatic, Erfurt, Large Early White
and he Normand are fayorite sorts. The
lie Normand is usually the largest grown,
and requires good soil and more room
than some smaller ones.
They are all worthy of trial, and may
be grown by farmers as readily as by
practical gardeners, if the requisite care
is given them, always bearing in mind
they do not perfect good blooms during
the heat Of summer. Gardeners practice
earthing up about the roots late in the
season, also tying up the loose leaves to
protect the flower buds. ....t...a.

Where the Sun doesn't Set.

the description of scene witnessed by
Mr.. Campbell and his party in the far
north.

airy lookout away in the north the hugo
old son swung low along the horizon like
the slow heat Of the pendulum in the tall
clock of our fathers parlor corner. We
all stood silent locking at our watches
When both hands came together al twelve
midnight, the full orb hung triumphantly
above the wavc--a bridge of gold running
due north, spanned the water between us
and hin; There he shone in silent maj
esty, which knew no setting. We invol.

From the Rural New Yorker.
Unfruitful Orchards.

Why does this orchard bear well and
uniformly, and that other usually fail /?
And the barren orchard is of standard
fruitful varieties, set on good ground,
and apparently well taken care Of. 1t
makes remarkable growth of wood. The
fruitful orchard grows finely. 1t is not
difficult, in Western New Y ork, TO grow a
thrifty, healthy apple tree, but it is not
always certain to bear fruit, as it should,
when it arrives at the proper age and
size.
IF we could solve the reasons for this
i'll behavior, and ascertain what treatment
would correct it, the information would
be worth thousands of dollars yearly to the
apple growers.
Perhaps, if they will take pains to send
to the Rural statements Of fact concerning
the age, growth, varieties, culture, prun-
ing, soil and YIELD the desired result may
be reached. At any rate it is worth the
trying
No doubt many orchards on rich, deep
soil make wood too fast at first. | some
times think it is habit which the tree
acquires by being forced to grow fast when
young, and it is not easily put off when
mature age comes on. 1t is the usual
custom to pruuc in the spring, only caus-
es greater wood growth by forcing the
sap into fewer channels. Trees that pro-

little fruit, should be pruned in midsum.
mer, When the foliage is full, as this wea'
kens its future wood growth. 1t is also
highly probable that root pruning might
be of great advantage. This can readily
be done by digging trench around the
tree at the proper distance to cut one
quarter or third Of the root growth.
