Vines Over q Cottage.

One of the greatest Improvements to a
small cottage is the prevalence of vines
clambering over it so as to almost entirely
conceal its outline. For this purpose
nothing can be better than the American
Ivy (AnpeIopsis) and Golden-vined Hon
eysuckle (Lonicera dureu TeticUtdtot J
closely intertwined, so that during the
Autumn months the effect of the golden
and crimson foliage is beautiful beyond
description. Over the front of the house,
especially if there should be porch, the
effect will be heightened by rampant
growing Clematis, either C. CUdl6d, the
European Travellers Joy, or G. Virginia,
our native Virgins Bower. The abundance
of pure, white, fragrant bloom on each of
these aided by dense mass of foliage, is
productive of good results.
The Prairie Roses, owing to their entire
hardness and free-fowering habits are
also worthy of due consideration as Gotta &c
runners but there is an airof stiffness and
primness about them which never har-
monies so well with their surroundings
as do the vines before mentioned. When
the cottagers of America are willing to 1e-
ceive lesson in Horticulture from the Pals
ley weavers of England, we may then date
an era of progression which is sadly need
ed throughout our land to-day. The few
hours spent during the evening, or early
in the morning on a bed of choice flowers
will return compound interest in pleasure
on capital invested in labor and my re-
putation for veracity will never be ques-
toned when l state that, when men are
once induced to feel an interest in plants,
it increases with their years so that rarely
is it ever foaSaken.

CLEAN LANDS. -Farmers, do not he dis
couraged if you are not making as much
money as you have right to expect.
And, as a rule, such is the case. 1t may
be we'll to recollect that we all anticipated
hard time ~ after the war. We have
certainly suffered far less than we feared.
Let us be thankful and take heart for the
future. The farmers are the mainstay of
the nation. If the farmer prospers, the
nation prospers. If the farmers suffer, all
classes suffer also. We must farm better.
We must aim to make our land cleaner
every year. Weeds are the most Oppress-
i've tax we have, We cannot get rid of
them at once. Keep fighting; and espec-
tally should it be recollected that we must
do thorough work as far as we go. If not en-
tirely dead they will grow again, and we
lose what work we have performed
Killing weeds enriches the soil" This
is the keynote to good farming. Most OF
our soils abound in latent plant-food.
Stirring the soil and exposing it to the at
mosphere favor decomposition, and render

is the best time to do much of this work
and the earlier we can get at it the better

FRESH EGGs.-The way to have fresh

the summer. Sd. Give them warm roost-

4th. Hatch early pullets to lay in the fall,
while old hens are moulting, as they will

Within the mountain described by the cone
shaped outlines OF the cut, Is the reservoir. marked
Xxx that has generated a volume Of gas at the point
marked by a curve line within the mass. This
power drives the liquid contents OF the reservoir
into the Irregular crevices until at last IL hnds au
exit at Ii, the crater of kilauea. Under ordinary
circumstances this safety valve 10 ~suficien. To re-
lieve the pressure before the column ascending In
the perpendicular channel terminating at A, the
summit crater Mokuaweoweo Is reached.
The question now Is, why is IL, that as we have
ttoo outlets to this vast power,-one considerably
nearer the power itself than the otber-why does
not the lower one, kilauea, carry of all the sur
plus force? IL we apply the known laws governing
the pressure OF fluids TO the mass of liquid lava
forced up through the mountain, when il reaches an
elevation Of $500 feet aud breaks out In kiiaues,
why should il still continue rising In another chan
mel 10000 feet higher and hurst out there with
greater force than ut the lower openingY II tho
action in kilauea was increasing all the time, we
might argue that the forces at work would soon
tax the capacity Of that valve TO its utmost; nc
which time the amount OF liquid lava poured out
would necessarily be enormous. Such is not the
case, however, for though the action at kilsuea
has grown stronger during the past year, still there
Is no extraordinary flow from any OF the numer-
Gus cones in the crater; while at the same time
from a point 10, 700 feet higher, there bursts forth n
column OF lava 500 feet In height and 100 feet ia
diameter, that continues TO rise Tor over Is month.
II the laws that govern fluids would apply TO
liquid lava without any notification, we should
argue that while n vent for the lava was open at
Kilauea, the only effect that would follow the fore
ing another opening through TO the top Of the
mountain would be either to accelerate the action
at the lower place, as the knocking Of the hung out
of a cask of water wOnld increase the Cow from n
lower vent, or else 10 permit the escape OF the
confined gases wbick would cause a subsidence In
the crater of Kilapea. Neither happens, but while
the crater of Kiladea still remains In action az
before, Mokuaweoweo displays an upward rush OF
lava OF much greater magnitude. We will attempt
to explain this phenomenal by imagining that the
gases generated in the manner before described,
have displaced a portion OF the liquid contents Of
the reservoir-that portion being slowly discharged
into Kilauea-until the volume OF gas has reached
the roof of the reservoir as shown In the cutF,
