Many farmers imagine if they can plant
the seeds of vegetables in the hills where
they are to grow, they will gain some time
which is lost in transplanting. But in
some vegetables this is mistake. Let
tuce, cabbage and tomatoes are especially
benefited by transpanting. Aud if they
are carefully transplanted twice, they are
improved 1t makes them more stalky
and robust in their growth Florists have
also found that it improves some kinds Of
flowers to transplant And trees, especially
eyergreeus, are benefited by yearly re-
moval for two or three years. In this re-
moval we do not intend to imply that care
less bruising and breaking Of plants or
trees of any kind will improve them,
Plants and trees must be removed with
the dirt adhering to them, protecting
the fbrous roots. Celery, cabbage and
tomatoes should be cut around with a
knife from one to three inches from the
stem, according to age, and carefully trans
planted without checking their growth.
Garden vegetables do not grow wild and
without care and labor, but when carefully
nursed they always pay the bill. 1t is all
wrong to permit bed Of cabbage plants to
grow up so crowded that they produce so
slender a stem that it would be folly to ever
look for them to bear large heads. So soon
as they produce the second leaves they
should be set out at least two inches apart,
and the ground cultivated between them,
which will insure strong aud vigorous
plants

Canning Strawberries.


daisy Eyebright," in the Country Gen.
Heman, gives the following directions for
canning Strawberries aud making strawberry
jelly;
At the commencement of the strawberry
season make two or three quarts of white
sugar into thick syrup by dissolving it
in hot water, two large cofiee.cupfulls to a
quart. Boil aud skim this, and put into a
Jug or bottles for future use. Put your
ripe, fresh strawberries into glass cans, and
Gil up with the cold syrup nearly to the
brim, as the strawberries shrink some
what. Place 10 kettle Of cold water
putting the lids on the tops Of the cans first
but not screwing them down. Let them
come to boil slowly boil for five min.
utes then screw down the covers tightly
and set away in dark, cool place.
STRAWBERRY JELLy.--Squeeze out the
juice of the strawberries, and TO each pint
Of juice add three-quarters Of pound Of
lump sugar. Boil for twenty minutes
turn into cups which have been previously
dipped in cold water, and set in the sun fol
few hours.

Culture of Beans.

The FIRST requisite for bean crop is
thorough preparation of the ground. Beans
cannot be successfully raised among clods
or weeds The ground should be made
very mellow by repeated rolling aud har-
rowing. My own plan has been to run
light burrows about twenty inches apart,
and follow in these with corn drill, plant
ing the beans three or four inches apart in
the row The brush must be taken out Of
the drll.box, aud tbs ori6ce where the
brush is fastened must be cut or filed out
in order to plant them so thick This will
require between three and four pecks to the
acre, varying according to the size Of the
beans. Immediately after planting, the
ground should be narrowed again. Beans
will usually come up in from three to Ave
days from the time Of planting The after
culture which have practised is ploughing
between the rows with a steady horse, q
careful ploughman and very narrow single
shovel plough The cultivation should
cease as soon as the beans begin TO blossom
