Soil-Any good corn soil may be used, and a
position affording partial shade, as young or
chard, is desirabe seek shelter also by the make
of the ground from the range of the heavy Winds
Pianting-Plant in rows seven feet apart and
three and a-half feet apart in the rows. Pay no
attention to the end Of the cane, but place the
germ of the plant mp, and deep enough SO that
when the roots fairly covered to the top of the
germ the whole plant is 2 inches below the level
surface of the ground.
Cultivation-Keep the ground mellow and free
from grass and weeds with hoe and cultivatOr.
Trimming-They will need no trimming the
first year. Let the growth trail on the ground,
and in the spring cut off to within one and half
to two feet on the root; it seems wasteful but it
must be done. There will now very soon spring
mp large, upright canes, and when they are two
feet high pinch or cut off their tips. This will
throw the growth into branches, make the main
canes stiff, prevent them from being broken
down by the winds, and obviate the necessity for
stakes and flashing to support the next crop of
frnit. Cut out the old wood after fruiting, and
cultivate the ground. In the spring, cut off all
the branches to within one foot of the main cane
which was pinched or cut of when two feet high
The previous summer. This leaves the row like
hedge two feet high and two feet thick.

1t has long been a serons question with house.
keepers what to do with cast-Off hOOp-skirts. and
thousands of them have been thrown in the streets
of New York, where they are nuisance and
plague to passengers. The chifiOniers utterly re-
jecte them not worth picking up. Yet i'm Bos-
ton they have value. Hear what the New Eng
land Farmer says:
"Tuns upon tuns of Just such used-up, worm
out hoops are annually worked up into cannon,
shafts for machinery, &c, at the iron works of
Lazeil, Perkins & Co., Bridgewater, Mass. Any
junk dealer would probably buy them, by the
pOund.'
Another use has been suggested for a portion of
this waste material as follows:
Lay the discarded skirt upon one of your gar
lady, in the middle of it, and attach the skirt to
the top of the pole by strings from the upper
hoop; then SOW seeds Of the morning glory or
some other vine at proper distances around it,
and in due time you will have lovely pyramid
of living green rainbow color at small trouble
and less expense. Add the money saved in wood
trellises to your wifes allow ance for Dress and
she will find it highly profitable speculation"
1t strikes that while the vines are growing
the old skirts would not he considered strictly
ornamental.
Another suggestion is to anneal the hoops and
use them for grape trellis WIRES For this they
would answer, where the trellis is made with two
horizontal wooden bars, four feet apart, with up
right wires.
What is wanted is some plan to utilize all this
great wsste of steel in cities, SO that every old
skirt would be gathered with as much avidity rs
old rags and papers are now.

Brazil is great country for oranges, and the
Brazilians know how to eat the delicious frnit.
To enjoy an orange thoroughly, says one of the
newspaper correspondents in Professor Agassiz's
present expedition, you should eat it in Brazilian
fashion: You slice segment Of the flower end
deep enough to go through the skin; then repla-
cling the segment, thrust fork through it to the
very centre of the orange, if the tines are long
enough. Holding the fork in your left hand, peel
the orange with very sharp small table knife,
scing all the skin of, the segment at the base Of
the fork being in this operation shield to prevent
any danger of cutting the left thumb. Now, with
two cuts of the knife dissect out the pulp of one
Of the pockets and convey it to the mouth Fol-
low this up, pocket by pocket, and the skins of
the pockets remain on the fork, like the leaves of
book open until the covers touch.-Sas Francisco

The Herald of Health for May contains among
other interesting matter, an article ON "Health
and Simple Rules of HEALTH" written by John
Wesley the founder Of Methodism, in l735. The
editor in his studies in hygiene, gives the follow
ing answer to the questions: SIS beef tea as
nutritious as is generally supposedly
No: it has little nourishment, unless it is ad-
ded in the shape Of bread corn, Oat wheat
meal. The P1cifc Medical Journal says that
within the last thirty forty years q complete
revolution has taken place in the dietetics of dis
ease, by the substitution of heterogeneous for
starchy food. Practitioners have followed their
leaders implicitly, without inquiry or hesitation.
in pouring beef tea into the stomach, whether
the patient he yOnng or old. or whethar they rel
ish it not. The idea to be that if given
quantity of beef tea eanbe crowded into the stOm-
ach the strength of the patient must be sustained
Even young children who have always fed on
milk filed with beef tea when sick. We are
glad to that doubts of the propriety of this
plan are starting mp, and that farnaceous food
seems about to be restored to Al place in the sick
ROOM There is needed wider range of the die
tary than modern practice employs. Especially
is the practice unsound which restricts Young
children when sick, as is frequently done, almost
entirely to beef tea.
1t may be added that in health institutions for
many years, the practice of giving nutritious
grlels made ont of Oat, corn, wheat meal has
prevailed to a large extent over the practice of
giving beef tea, and we are glad if this practice
is extending outside of these institutions.

He was SO informed; and it is said that the fol

favored by the Postmaster General:
POsr OFFICE DEPARTMENT,

SIR: The allegations against you are numerous
and strong, and are chiefly these:
That you cannot write or read well enough:
are not a safe accountant; have been guilty of
the grOssest negligence in not delivering letters
when called for, negligence always inconveni.
ent and often attended with injury; deliver let
tiers frequently to persons for whom they were
not intended, and suffer them to be taken AWAY:
fail to send lettersand packages by mail in the
proper time; sometimes sending off the mail
without putting into it any letters or packets
that had been lodged at Your Office; reverse the
destination of letters, and send them back TO the
places whence they came; have not sense enough
to discover the error after the letters have been
returned; make frequent and gross
mistakes in the bills forwarded to other offices;
open packages addressed to other post Offices:
when q mail is called for by neighboring post
master, handing out any one, right Or wrong; dis
obey the regulations respecting dead newspapers:

1t is quite proper to suggest that at this season
we should begin to take precautions against fevers
and flies. Our hOusekeepers cannot be too par
ticular about having every decayed potato and
cabbage leaf removed from their cellars, and the
fresh breezes admitted to every room and nook OF
the entire hOuse. All leaves and Accommodations
of chips and dirt about the premises should be
carefully raked together and thrown into man.
ure pile, or burned up. Flies will not infest a
house unless they are well fed, for flies are scav-
engers, and sure indication of carelessness some
where. Stops thrown round the kitchen door in
vite them; sink drains are their certain nests,
and should be scupulousfy guarded from their
visits by earbolate Of lime or carbolic acid mixed
with sawdust. This latter is used in stables, and
is effective in keeping flies away. Last summer
was very much annoyed with these insects, and
purchased five cents worth of crude arsenic mix
ed it with half u pint of cOrnmeal, and set in
plates, out of the children's reach but where the
flies could have access to it. Every day moist
ened the meal with water, and destroyed great
many.
