We give the following or the subject
OF potting plants: Every gardener
knows how quickly the soil gets sour
in a glazed, a dirty, or q hard-burned
pot, let him drain or crock it as he Will.
and that yellow leaves and a sickly
growth quickly follow. If the patient
Is not too far gone, removal from the
glazed pot to one of proper texture will
quickly recusciate, even if the draining
or crockiDg is dispensed with. When
ever We wish to reeuscitste an unhealthy
plant, We wash the soil from the roots
and pot in a new pot, where the Drain
age is perfect from its porous sides.
What better evidence can be given than
this universally known fact that tine
theory of ths operation IS wrong?
Whether this sufficiently proves the
theory of the operation to be wrong,
may be questioned by some, bus taat
the system is useless, utterly useless,
in our practice, cannot very well be
questioned. 1t - upwards Of fifteen
years aimee utterly dispensed with the
use of the so-called draining OF pots; in
that time some millions of plants have
been grown by US, and few will say,
from the appearance of the plants, that
they suffered by the deviation from the
orthodox system"

Humorous.
TErRy was a great stir. saws Punch,

THERE was a great stir, says Punch,
in our garden the other day. The po-
tatoes were ready to jump out of their
skins. The beet turned red to its very
roots. The celery lost their heads, and
the cabbages their hearts. The peas
split their pods with excitement. The
asparagus could with difficulty keep in
its head. The parsley curled itself up
in a corner. The cucumber alone re-
tanned its habitual coolness. The cause
of all this commotion was the presence
of a noted vegetarian. The potatoes
never took their eyes off him.

EARLY VEGETABLEs.-Many little gar
den delicacies NAV be bed early by
sowing in boxes, and kept in a kitchen
window or other warm place. Tomatoes
especially may be forwarded some wee Ks
in this manner. Egg plants are often
started in this way, but they require
much more heat than tie tomato 10 DO

require much heat, but ii takes time to
germinate after it Is sown, generally
about six weeks. so that there Is a gain
in getting 1t into the ground early.
Where Cne wants but a hundred or so
Of early cabbage, these also may be for
warded considerably by being sown in
q window box.
These little things do not take much
trouble, and moreover the pleasure of
seeing them grow is often very enjoy
able by some of the members OF the
family. And in the end. when the
garden is thus made TO yield lots of
nice things for the table, the extra
trouble to get them is never begrudged.
UNpERDRAISISG.-In making drains
In q retentive hardpan it would be well
to 60 at least three feet SIX inches or
four feet deep. As a rule, the deeper

use the deeper drains and slightly

material Where stone is plentiful and
labor cheap, and where the bottom and
sides of the bitches are very compact
and hard. stones, if laid very carefully
and skillfully, would answer as well as
tiles, but it would not do to throw them

RAILWAYS AND LocUsrs. Some idea
OF the amazing number of tho loclIsts
out West is formed by the fact that on
the line OF the st. Joseph and Denver
Railroad, between Axtall aud Beattie,
they covered the track two inches
deep; and, although the engineers put
on powerful head of steam and tried
to drive through them, the train was
nine hours going eleven miles, On
the same road, O train pulled out of
Seneca on time. but, enoountering the
locusts, was driven back. and had to
wait until the myriads OF insects had
crossed the line. AS this was in Kan.
sas, the grain crops there are threat
ened as we'll as in Minnesota ond Iowa.
OF the extent of the ravages. no pre-.
sent conjecture can be formed; but in
tho regions occupied by homestead
settlers, the suffering is severe.
