CHARLES LANMAN writes to the New
Worid writes upon bedding out verbenas
as follows, which the Western RuraI in
dorses, except as to the distance apart at
which they are planted. The latter pa
per says: "We should plant bed of
this size say about fourteen inches apart
the long way of the bed, in two rows; the
rows nine inches from the edge the other
way; the second row breaking in between
the first. In this way the bed is covered
much sooner, and more perfectly, and the
difference in the number Of plants is but
a small item" The correspondent says:
Turn over new bed in the grass, or,
if your lawn is a geometrically arranged
seven by nine plat, where the grass is as
vigorously excluded as Canada thistles,
get wagon load of earth from some
place where grass grows upon it. Make
your verbena bed of this. 1t need not be
rich in harHyard ingredients; quite the
reverse. As rule carly-bought plants
from the green house do not succeed as
well AS those kept through the winter on
The window.sill at home. II you get your
plants of the nurseryman keep them by
YOU some time before setting them out
In early spring the temptation is great to
duOli u lllttc Dcu Win d C"uplc VI uoHth
verbena plants, fresh from the nursery, all
in blossom. They look lovely the day
you put them out; but ere long there
comes cold wet rain that drizzles
coorAll out Of the flowers and turns the
leaves sort of russell color which distig-
ures the bed until July 1t does not pay
to crowd the season with a protusion Of
dollhouse bloom.
Set the plants into box Of earth and
keep them growing in the house till the
trosts are safely passed They are grow
ing and maturing all the while; nothing
is lost, eyer' thing gained, by the patient
waiting. Six plants are enough for bed
six feet by three; they will cover it by

determination Of Rats.

7 he common Norway rat will not
trouble COrn.Cribs that are set well up
from the ground and kept clear of under

ground and never makes his nest in the
corn. o. IL a colony should locate near
it, few minutes work with spade will
dispose OF them; or by watching the bur
rows and shooting a few Of them they
Will leave the premises.
The rat is d troublesome customer to
the shiltless farmer, for he delights to hide
and burrOw under his old rubbish heaps
and hadly-cOnStructed stable floors; but
he avoids all places where he is exposed
To the spade or the shot gun. ANY one
can have rats if he wishes, for q pile of old
boards, barrels, or a heap of stone, will
invite them to you. | once thoughts good
ratter necessary in order to be rid of them;
but experience proved that TO be folly

premises are worth more than dozen OF
