So many people say that their flowers,
which once did well, do not thrive any
more and the reason is incomprehensi-
| BILE to them. In many cases the trouble
| is from WORKOUT soil and if little ma
nure or little fresh dirt be added occa-
sionally, it is wonderful what an effect it
will have on the renewed growth of hall
WORKOUT root stocks. Some kinds of
flowers soon grow surly and bad-temper-
ed, unless they have q complete change
of earth once in while. The verbena
is of this character. In perfectly fresh
soil--that is, earth which has never grown
verbena before-it grows like a weed :;
but the next year it IS not quite SO well,
and in few years it absolutely refuses
to creep, run or do anything and we are
forced to confess that the yerbena won't
do for us as 1t used to years ago.
Other flowers are not 50 stubbornly tas-
tidious as the verbena but still all more
or less like to feel rejuvenated by an adj
dition of some kind occasionally to the
earth blessings they have already been
treated to. Almost all our best hardy
flowers are native of woods or low, undis-
turbed lands, where the decaying leaves
4 hum lnC llGt> VI LHC NdSilIuRS vi
surface lands make a new annual enter
tainment for them and it has been found
| by experiment that nothing is so good for
| these pretty little flowers as well-decayed
| leaf-mold from the woods, spread around
the root stocks just above the ground.
But where this cannot be had, any other
well-decayed vegetable refuse that may
be laying around loose, will do very
nearly as well. StroRg, rich manure
bayH.Kard manure--has not been found
vSSS9ood for garden flowers. 1t makes
tfA6aSsrbage too strong, and the flowers
less in proportion. But if nothing more
natural can be got at TO help the flowers
along, and the soil seems exhausted and
poor, this will be found much better than
leaving the plants to struggle along as
best they can. This is the time of the
year to think of these things. Elk

Income from Cows.

The Mirror and Farmer says: "Ward
Parker, Esq, sends us a statement of
the profits realized, in 1872, from five
Devons-tour cows and one three-year
old heifer He commenced March l =,
1872, with one COW, to make butter; the
next COW came in March 4 the other
two came in the first week in April the
heiter came in the 1st of May. The but
ter sold from the five amounted TO 1896 !;
premiums at fairs on the five cows, SS4 ;
three calves sold for $40; two calves on
hand, reckoned ut the same as was offer
ed last October, $3.50; to all amount,
$3.50 The same cows also furnished all
the milk, cream, and butter used in the
family during the year. This is the in
come of the five up to the time they went
dry. The same cows all calved last
Spring, after going three months. The
calves were ted with skim milk of the
COWS. The butter, milk, and cream used
IN che family, he estimates would more
than three times balance the hay and
other feed used for the FIVE calves"

Noble county.
Break the land well and harrow up
fine, then cut your Bermuda sod into
small bits, say one inch square. Drop
| these bits over the ground three or four
/ feet apart and roll down level with a
/ heavy roller. If your sod is scarce YOU
may make your pieces much smaller than
an inch sguare-every root with an eye
upon it will grow if put into the ground.
I In cases where no roller is at hand the
dropper Of the sod may make all right
I by treading upon each bit as he drops It.
1t is always best to start Bermuda in
land not too poor-if III good condition
the grass will keep it so, and it spreads
and covers the ground 80 much more rap
/ idly.
If you cannot plough your pasture
land you may still seed it to Bermuda,
by simply digging small holes "a blow
with grub hoe will answer, and drop
ping the seed into them. 1t will spread
over the land that mas never been
ploughed, though with Jess rapidlty, OF
course.
Bermuda grass cannot stand any great
amount Of shading, hence the pasture
should be pretty clear Of trees.
The present l. a good time to put out
Bermuda, though any time from this ON
until the dry season sets in will ans wer.-
Mobile Register.
The writer ought TO have added, that
though the Bermuda is PROFESSIONALLY
one of the most nutritious Of grasses,
and is admirably adapted to our soil and
climate, it is great pest to plantations
and that when once in possession of The
fields it is almost ineradicable.- EDIToRs

REMEDY FOR SORE THROAT Take
one large red pepper, such as are grown
for family use steep in half a pint of
water, after which strain in a quart of
molasses, adding a little vinegar boil
all together to a thin syrup use this
whenever the throat feels dry or disa-
greeable. If it be in the dead of night,
il will soothe the throat (and not irritate)
and warm it up well. If sharper than
can be borne in the mouth, put it back
near the palate with spoon, and swallow.
Apply outwardly thin slice of salt pork,
warming it up well i'll a little vinegar and
pepper; apply as hot as can be borne on
the throat tasten the bandage that holds
the pork over the head, to draw the cold
and inflammation up, and not about the
neck, as most people do.

Short and Sweet.

The San Leandro Herald gives this
illustration of the style of marriage in a
mining country: During the Wall per-
jury case an interesting and poetical lit
tie episode occurred: Colonel Stevenson
was in the midst of important testimony
as TO the initial points of the Great East
ern aud Great Western lodes Much
whispering had been noticeable between
Doctor Clinton and members of the pO-
lice force for some little time interfering
with the thread of the story being told by
the witness, when suddenly from the back
room, entered two ladies and three men
one OF the former and one of the latter
planting themselves close up to the wit
ness. Every body ga1ed with open
mouths at this unexpected interruption.
Take the other side, said the Doctor.
then the lady marched around to the left.
Then reading from slip of paper on
which were names, the officiating magis.
trate continued: Augustus, are you will
to take Anna for your wife and be true
and faithful to herr Yes, replied Au-
gustus, his whole countenance beaming
with prospective happiness. Anna, are
you wiling to take Augustus for Your
husband and be true and faithful to him?
Anna had nothing to say, or else was too
slow, as her lips did not open, and the
Doctor continued: ''Then bv virtue and
authority of my Office, as magistrate, 1
pronounce YOU man and wife, and NAV
God add his blessing and enable you to
keep your covenant. l will give you your
certificate tomorrow. Gro on with your
testimony. Mr.. Stevenson; have to be
prepared for anything"
During the latter portion of these re-
marks, which at the first the couple were
inclined to consider part of the marriage
ceremony, the newly-made bride and
groom disappeared through the same
door but which they entered, the testimo-
ny as to the mining lodges being at once
resumed"
