GARDENING FOR LADIES.

How many enthusiasts there are
ROW to be found among the gentle sex,
ia behalf Of gardening or out door cxer-
else tor l;.dieS. 1t is quite refreshing
TO read such i dainty little story as
Ills. told by Julia Coleman -
Il know one lady whose sensible
doctor told her, twenty years ago: that
she was half gone with consumption,
and that her only chance of life was
10 b" III the open air rs much as pos
Sic. And perfect bower of Para
u.. vas her little yard. Was the
soil Door? She enriched it. Were
her varieties Indifferent She procured
better. Nearly ali the flowers We're
fragrant. Fifteen kinds Of roses
bloomcl under her hands, and sue
ccsSion of flowers flied out the SUN
sner. One side Of The yard was coy
cred with grapes. Peaches, plums
ard raspbcrrics were trained Z" c>p0'
tier and choice squasllcs ripened on
the roofs Of the outhouSe. Tomatoes
where trained tosingle poles and yield
cd luxuriantly, and ruby Strawberries
pcepcd out even from the bleaching
grass. She, herself, was as fresh and
vigorous as you could expect one to
be whose half dccaycd lung had left
her with insufficient vitality. But
her life was saved and it had been 4
happiness to herself and blessing to
others
She is right, too, when she says
that more than half the credit for the
orna,ncntation Of our door-yards aud
homes, is due to the ladies who push
the nell up to do their duty.

OUR CORN POLICY.

A. this moment, when prepara-
tions for planting are universally
made; and in q paper which will
be in the hands ofall our planters,
we cannot omit q few words to
impress our theory OLA Corn Poll
cy for the South. 1t is an old er-
ror of our planters to suppose
that when they make an immense
crop Of cotton they have made so
much clear gram; to forget that
when they are without grain they
must rob cotton Peter to pay corn
Paul. And yet this old foe puts
on q new face this year, and We
hear of immense preparations for
cotton and very slim ones for com
This will not do.
Corn is independence 1T is LIE !
With heavier grain crops this
present year we could have held
back if ncedful-as it would not
have bcen-and kept the price to
any figure We pleased. With
heavier grain crops next year We
can do the same, thus making a
smaller cotton crop equally valu
able in money. If foreign buyers
feel that planters can hold, they
will not wait to buy and the de-
mand will come. If, on the other
hand, they know we must sell to
buy food, foreign buyers will
wait until necessity forces the cot
ton upon the market. Vaulting
ambition to produce immense crops
overleaps itself; and prices are
made to tumble By the very means
the planter uses 10 enhance the
money value of his production.-
Hence do We say-PLANr CORN
Mobile Register.

OpCuARDs IN POULTRY YARDS.

ORCHARDS IN POULTRY YARDS
No orchard that I have Seen, writes
a correspondent, surpasses one in
which no live stock have been kept,
other than poultry-hens, geese, tur-
keys, guinea and pea.fowl. Here is
an extensive range, iuclosed by light
picket fence. The trees are mulched
and manured every ycar-sometimes
in the Fall and sometimes in the
Spring. Turkeys roost in the trees ;
so do the other fowls The geese
have pond fed by q brook IN which
they battle All the fowls are kept in
this orchard that can be with profit.
The crop of fruit is bountiful and
beautiful. The abundance is due to
care in pruning washing, and feeding
It's beauty and perfeetness is largely
'attributed by the owner to the vigi
lance of fowls in hunting insects and
and destroying them. The profits
from the fowls are large. 1t is claim
ed that they are the most productive
and profitable live stock he has, in
proportion to the investment. Eggs
chickens and turkeys always bring a
good prize; ana the r""5~~l- .l4s
gives them, and the comparative free
dom, diminiShes the amount of care
required, and the per cent. of loss from
disease that ordinarily obtains where
fowls are closely confined. Really
the orchard, with its fruit and poultry
product, is regarded the most proitabl'
portion of his investment in proper
tion to the expenses involved in it
care.

tells how this used to be done: After
supper the old tin lantern was hunted
up, few candles and candle-sticks TO-
ken, and Dad, Jake, John, Jane, Sal
and Sue, and half dozen neighboss
of the same ages, went to the barn.
Pitckforks were stuck in the hay NOV.
and candles lighted aud hung on them,
and then the fun, co,nmcused. Aud
at at was fun. You did not need u husk-
ing machine or husking gloves, nor
any such invention. The ears were
waiting to come out Of the husk. All
they had to DO was to give them y
jerk and !. was done and soon there
was pile Of golden ears waiting to be
drawn up and spread to dry on the
scafclds overhead. Then when short
ened candles Indicated 8 O'Clock
they all returned to the house, where
were pumpkin pies, sweet cider and
Sweeter kisses.

The Rnshes and Coarse Grass on
swamp land may be burnt during a
high wind. We have greatly improved
the quality of the grass on such land
by this treatment. Commence the
work in the morning so that the fire
will be all out before you leave it for
the night. 1t is we'll to burn the grass
near the fences before setting fire to
the main body. Have bunch or
two Of willows with which to beat out
the fire if there is danger of the fences
being burnt.
