GROWING GALA LILIES.

Not long since. saws writer IN the llor-
ticulturist. I was at a friends, and in 60
ing through her conservatory was much
struck with the luxuriant growth OF a Gala.
The leaves were borne on stems three feet
or more in length, and such leaves! l
never dreamed that Gala leaves could grow
so large before. They were of the richest
green, too, and everything about the plant
indicated that it was in the most perfect
health. 1t had one bud on Il stalk three
feet long. which was as large as any Gala
buds had ever been when they had attained
full growth and were ready to unfold. and
this bud was hardly half matured, thus
giving promise of becoming an immense
flower if nothing happened to prevent its
developing.
| asked the secret of such magnificent
success in Gala growing, and my friend
told me in what it consisted. In June she
takes her calas out of doors, and turns the
pots containing them over on their side
under tree, or in some shady place, and
there she leaves them through the hot
summer months, giving them no attention
whatever. OF course the old leaves die
and drop off, and the earth in the pots
bakes into the consistency of brick; one

be the death of the flower. but on the con-
trary, the Gala likes it. In September
she brings the pots in, and begins to give
the plants water. A very short time SUI
fees to start them into growth. AS soon
as the leaves appear she makes the water
quite warm, The result is, that her calas
are superior to any ever saw before.
She boasts of having larger flower than
any one else, and, judging from the size
of the half matured bud saw, she has
foundation for saying so. She tells me
that her calas are never without flowers
through the winter, often as many as four
five open at once. She never removes
the new ones which form about the old
plant, but, as they grow, shifts the plants
into large pots.
l have seen SO many sickly, spindling
callas that want to have my friends
try this method l am trying it put mine
out OF doors last summer and brought it
in two months ago, and it is fonrshing
finely. 1t is an easy plan to try, and am
sure it is successful one. / ought to
have said before that my friends conser-
vatory is heated from stove in the sitting
room, therefore this treatment will apply
where only a few house plants are kept,
and steam heating is not used.

for assault and battery, he brought
forward his boy, ten years old, as a
witness. The justice asked the lad
if he knew the nature Of an oath,
and the boy said his father had ex-
planned it. "What did he say?"
asked the Justice. "He said," re-
piled the boy, "that if / didn't swear
that the other fellow struck first he'd
tan the whole hide off my back" He
wasn't used on the stand.

LARGE OR SNAIL FARMS. dis:
cussing the comparative benefits of
large farms, we must not lose sight
Of the old maxim, Little land we'll
titled" Theoretically, q large farm
should be more profitable than
smaller one; but practically, is not
the reverse nearer the truthP The
true test is the profit per acre. Do
large farms yield as large profit per
acre as smaller ones? Small farms
give their owners opportunity Of
concentrating labor and manure into
a more profitable form and the owner
can have direct oversight Of his
laboring force. The main argument
in favor Of large farms Isl that the
expense per acre for implements is
less, and this must be conceded. 1t
requires but little more machinery
for three hundred acres than for one,
and the only increase is in very in.
expensive implements for working
the crops. On small farm the la
Dor Of the owner is much more avail
able than on q larger one, though in
the latter case il may be claimed that
his brains are Of more use than his
hands.
We think that many Of our farm
ms who now own tliree hundred
acres, would be much better of at
the end Of the year If their energies
and labor had been concentrated mp
on one-third Of the lind. The
manure and labor expended on thirty
acres Of land, would have given bet-
ter crops and more profit in propor-
tion if it had been expended on ten.
In fact, we think this strong desire
Of our American farmers, as q class,
to possess large areas Of land, is ones
of the worst features Of our agri-
cultural system.

MIR. NESMITH AND SENATOR NIPPLE.
I imagine there is a day of reckon
ing coming for Senator Hipple-Mitch-
ell. 1 had conversation with Con-
gressmen Nesmith to-day, and he has
received intelligence that large
number Of petitions, generally sign
ed by the people of Oregon, are on
their way to this city. The petitions
are addressed to the Senate, and ask
that that body shall expel the Senator
who at present disgraces that State
by representing it in the highest leg
islative body Of the countTE
"What has been the nature of your
intercourse with Hipple?" said to
Nesmith.
"Well." said he, "not long ago we
come together, and / asked him if be
was going to unite with me for the
interests Of Oregon here or not. If
he wished to fight l was willing, but 1
told him 1 thought it better for both
of us to sink personal difficulties at
present.
Hipple-Mitchell replied, "I don't
know about this. Nesmith, you have
said some pretty hard things about
me in the last campaign" "
Nesmith's remark here is eminent
ly characteristic of him. Said he,
"Mr Mitchell, if you can think of
anything else 7 might have said,
please consider it is said in addition
to all I have previously expressed
upon the subject. I have not word
to take back. My opinion Of you will
never change, but yet | can for the
time being, while you hold your po-
sition, overlook that in the further
ance of Oregon interests. If you
wish to do SO, well and good; but If
you wish to fight, why fight it is"
Hipple-Mitchell thought a moment,
and then concluded the armistice was
better, and now, as far as mere local
politics go, Nesmith and the biga-
nous Senator are upon good enough
terms. Nesmith, however, is never
backward in expressing his opinion
about Hipple-Mitchell, and his story
is becoming quite generally known,
and he is accordingly cold shoulder
ed. I have seen quite q good deal
of this lawless Oregon Senator since
my coming here this winter, and 1
have never seen any one of the Sena-
tors in conversation with him upon
an at all friendly footing. Socially
he is ostracised among those who are
his peers in political position. He
gayeareception the other evening, but
it was only attended by some Oregon
lobbyists here in town, who would
sup with the devil if they thought
they could advance theirinterests one

suspicion but what the boys were in

lasted two or three minutes. Then

Ira of trying to crawl out Of it be-
