Eve IND The FIG LEAVES.

An amusing story is told of a
daughter Of a distinguished South,
ern General, who was spending the
Summer during the war at Silver
Spring. Florida. As is we'll known,
the ladies were compelled to resort
to all sorts of expedients in order to
make their gowns presentable, and
many of them became very ex-
pert in the use Of dyes, so that. shut
out from the rest of the world as
they were, their attire was always
neat and lady-lille.
1t appears that the young lady in
question had a black berage which
sne wished TO restore to its prestine
beauty, and 50 ordered her maid
Eve to boil her some fig leaves,
which. as is known, are excellent
for restoring c 10. to dark materials.
Having waited sometime for the
decoction to be brought her, she
went out upon the gallery Of the
hotel, and called out il loud voice:
Eve, have you put on the fig
leayes:"
A number of gentlemen seated be-
low with difficulty suppressed a
laugh, and the young lady receiving
no answer. reiterated her question
more loudly than before. Unable
longer to restrain themselves, the
gentlemen laughciIong and heartily.

Gas Tar on Seed Corn,

Many farmers suffer very serious
loss from the depredations of birds,
pulling up the sprouted corn as soon
as it begins to peep out of the
ground. This is a trouble no farm
or need sustain, for gas tar put on
the corn before planting is sure
preventive. Corn well saturated
with it is distasteful to birds, and
almost every other kind of depre-
dators. a tablespoonful will be
enough to coat over peck of corn.
However, it should be woll and
thoroughly done, SO that each grain
receives a due share. It can be
sprinklcd over and dried with ash
es or plaster so as to separate the
grains, thereby facilitating planting.
But the less it is busted the more it
will be avoided by birds and insects.
Corn properly treated with the gas
tar will be less liable to rot in the
ground, as the tar resists excessive
moisture, and will be no dctriment
in case Of the earth being very dry,
thus resulting in good in either
state of the soil, apparently acting
by contrast, harmless, and certain
preventive Of the depredations Of
the feathored songsters, which do
SO mnch good for tho farmer by de-
stroying insects.

Frequent Hoeings.

The Maine Farmer concludes an
article on hoeing with the following
suggestive paragraphs ''Frequent
hocings, even during the dryes,
seasons, contribute to the benefit Of
the crop. BY the looseniBg of the
soil, the air, and especially night
air, charged with moisture, even in
times of severe drought, obtains
ready access to the roots Of plants,
and becomes condensed in the soil.
Very often during hard summer
drought, We have seen corn leaves
and other vegetation roll up during
the day time, but come out again
at night in consequence Of the fall
ing Of the dew, or the prevalence Of
moist air. Where the ground is
not stirred, it becomes crusted over.
or "baked," as it is called, and
hence the moisture from below does
not find its way up to meet the con
densed moist air. But where the
ground is frequently hoed, the re
verse is the case; hence, the benefit
Of repeated hoeing during the Sum
mcr months. Upon this point, ono
of our late English journals men
toned the fact that during the
extremely dry season of 1926,
gentleman was in the habit Of hoe
ins, with his own hand, three drills
of turnips, daily. The result was
that the three drills thus hoed were
good crop, while the yield upor
the remainder Of the field, ilora )cs
frequently, came almost to moth
ing"

Washing Butter.

Homer Hecox, of East Watcrtown,
N. Y, sent a long paper to the N.
Y. Farmers Club, on the gain in
butter and butter-making in general.
The following extract describes his
plan of washing butter, which he
claims to be new:
81 use a plain crank-churn; goes
by hand; average time twenty min
utes for large, twelve for small
Cummings. l do not claim to make
more, or better from the same
cream than with dasher, but / do
claim that l can do the work with
one half the time and labor. Much
of this saying is caused by the
convenience of washing, getting rid
of the butter-milk water, and in
working the butter. AS soon as l
discover that the butter begins to
separate, l put in quart of cold
water; this is to thin the milk, which
will cause it to free itself more
readily from the butter. / then
churn until the particles are about
the size of large pea. Ithen draw
off the milk and put in gallon of
water, churn, and draw again, and
sometimes put in one more washing.
The common way is to churn until
the butter is about one solid mass.
But how is the water to take effect
on the inside Of these large Jumps
of butter? l should about as soon
think Of washing the inside Of a
glass bottle by washing the outside,
| think that in order to mako the
most and best butter in hot weather,
it is particularly necessary to cool
tl,c milk Immediately after milking.

Transplanting Evergreens.

From the lst to the goth Of May
is considered a favorable time to
transplant evergreens. 1t is an es-
sential thing, without which all
your labor is lost, that the roots OF
ercry kind Of Evergreen should be
protected from the sun and wind,
and be kept wet or moist from the
time they arc taken up until they
are set out. This is well settled.
All evergreens thrive best on a rich
warm soil; but the different kinds
OF the pines, and the red cedar, do
better in the high, sandy soil, being
more easily affected by dry weather
than spruces, hemlock, white cedar
or frs. Hemlock is beautiful tree,
and will retain its vigor and color
in any shaded nook; if the soil be a
little moist all the better.
Ny plan is, to dig q hole three
feet in diameter, and one and hall
feet deep; PIT in four inches Orwell
rotted nlanurc, and fill up to within
eight inches with sod and surface
soil. Trim of by clean cutting all
roots that have been broken or
nrui.scd. and. after thoroughly wet

Door-Yard Demonstration.

| We have made great progress
the past few years in our style Of
gardening. Formerly, every little
door-yard, however small, was cut
up into labyrinth ofnarrow walks,
carefully edged with dwarf box.
This sort Of needless and unsightly
patchwork is fast passing away, and
far better taste is being shown in
the smooth, soft carpets of green
grass, with the needful flower beds
cut out wherever required. Flow
crs are like diamonds; their setting
should be Of the inconspicuous or
der, and never the most prominent
feature of the two, as often seem
among the "shoddyites" in both
fashionable society and horticulture.
Our florists and nurserymen still
have considerable demand for
''box" for edgings; and it is pity,
although tits true, that we have so
much bad taste shown in our SUBJ
urban gardens. &
Sometimes the grounds arc cut
up into walks resembling an old
fashioned patch bed-quilt Of many
colors, and the proprietor, not wish
ing to be outdone in the way Of
variety, crowds thousand species
and varieties of plants into a space
where hundred would be far
better number, and show to better
advantage. This trying to see how
many varieties can be grown has
been curse to pomology, and is
rapidly running Horticulture. A
dozen plants, well grown, show bet
ter taste and judgment than a hun
dred, as far too generally seen.
We hope our readers will remem-
Der this when making their selec-
tons for seeds and plants this
spring. Choose only few Of the
very best, and of species that will
give a succession Of bloom through
out the season, and bestow upon
these all the care that would have
been given to many, and see if
greater satisfaction and better re-
suits will not be derived thcrefrom.
We know of man who cultiva-
ted three hundred varieties of
Gladioli last summer; but one
tenth Of the number, properly Sc
lectcd, would have furnished all the
beauty and other merits found in
the entire lot. TO strive for the
ce''y best is commcndable; but to
seek to obtain everything, is like
trying to obtain an education by
studying everything and knowing
nothing thoroughly R"vol Ncac
