A correspondent of the Massachusetts PlOHghRGE
says "Many who own but q small piece of land
as well as those who have spacious gardens, may
enjoy one of the greatest luxuries, at a triting
expense Ny first attempt was wonderful sue
cess. began with Hovey's Seeding, receiving
few plants from friend, and ten times as many
more from pasture; most of which were in
blossom when they were taken up.
''They were set in bills circularly, and were
fertilized, about twelve plants in hill, two and
ally cultivated as corn would be, except milling.
"The weeds were very easily removed or de-
stroyed, and the first season, from these thirty
hills there was gathered perhaps quart.
"Soon as the bearing season was past, a liber.
al quantity of manure was spread over the piece
and Jorked IN thoroughly, and the ground was
soon overspread with new plants.
Gust before severe cold weather came on, they
were covered lightly with straw-litter, which
was carefully removed before the new growth
commenced in Spring, and in June and July fol-
lowing, there were taken from this small piece
of land, thirty-three quarts of hutled strawber
ries-or at the rate of more than 5000 quarts to
the acrei
1.-THE berries were very large, some of them
five inches in circumference. More recently,
have cultivated Wilson's Albany, a more excel
lent variety, and the fruit of superior flavor and
color
"With q small number of choice plants, there
fore, and others gathered from the fields and
properly intermingled with the former, any per-
son of little tact can cultivate all he may want
of this most delicious fruit, and sell still great
er quantity at a handsome profit in the market"

M, E1perIe.es viii Hog Cholera.

Forty of our hogs having had an opportunity
of coming in contact with those of our neighbors'
that were badly infected, l was compelled to
confine closely to prevent the spread of the dis
ease among our other hogs. In a short time two
were found one morning too sick to walk with
out staggering. These were Immediately sepa-
rated from the Others and closely confined in
separate pens. Following the directions of an
Illinois correspondent of the Gazette, began the
use of lime water. For want of definite instruc-
tions as to its strength, use one-half peck of
air slacked lime to a cOal-ol barrel of water.
After few days the hogs would run to the trough
as though furnishing when the water was poured
in, but, after taking sup, would 60 away. Pos
sibly it was too strong and made their mouths
sore, as 1t did our hands. From that time, Civ
ing them pure water to drink, l fed nothing but
corn, thoroughly soaked in lime water. Not an
other hog became infected, although the two that
had the cholera were mingling with them to the
time that their feebleness convinced me of their
illness. With these two the disease progressed
rapidly for several days. both passing through
the dysenteric stage, but they finally recovered,
and became sound, healthy, fat hogs. They were
allowed for the FIRST few days no drink but lime
water and milk, and no food that was not i'm
pregnated with lime. This may be, or may not
be, specific. 1 give it for what it is worth.

A Marvel Outasne.

Mr.. FinIayson, Town Clerk of Sterling, Scot
lad in the latter part Of the seventeenth century
was noted for the marvellous in conversation
He was on visit to the Earl of Monteith and
Airth in his castle of Taha, in the loch Of Mon.
teith, and was about taking leave, when he was
asked by the Earl whether he had seen the sail
ing cherry tree.
HNop said Finlayson. What sort Of thing
is iti"
at is, replied the Earl, tree that has grown
out at goose's mouth from stone the bird had
swallowed, and which she bears about with heI
in her voyages around the loch. 1t is now in
full fruit of the most exquisite flavor. Now, Mr.
Finlayson," he added, "can you, with all your
powers of memory and fancy, match my story Of
the cherry treei"
"Perhaps can" said Finlayson, clearing his
throat, and adding: "When Oliver Cromwell
was at Airth, one of his cannon sent ball to
Stirling, and lodged in the mouth of trumpet
which one of the troopers in the castle was in
the act of sounding"
"Was the trumpeter killed ~ said the Earl.
"No! my lord, ;" replied Finlayson. He blew
the ball back, and killed the artilleryman who
had fired it,"

In the case of the bite of dog where the
teeth penetrated the flesh, whether the dog ID
known to be mad or not, use the same precau.
tions. Wash the wound with warm water, ex.
tract all the virus possible by smoking the wound
with the lips and then cauterize it deeply with
the caustic most readily obtained. The time
in which the effects of the bite of mad dog
would be seen, varies from two to three days to
as many years; but il no effects are felt after
two or three months, as general thing, the
patient may consider himself safe. Bites made
through clothing are seldom productive of much
harm, as even if the dog is mad, the clothing
absorbs the virns before the teeth reach the
flesh. Most of all the fatal cases are where the
person was bitten on some naked spot.
If one is situated where he can take Turkish
bath soon after being bitten, do so by all means.
The perspiration will help to carry off the poi.

T.. MANY yarietie. Of Frui,.

Another great error is, when one commences
to grow fruit, he gets too many varieties, and
this is caused by seeing the long lists of varieties
in nurserymen's catalogues, whose business it is
TO grow as many kinds as possible, so as to sell
the more and to receive the more money. Prob
ably not over onefourth of the varieties of fruits
advertised by these men are worth cultivating,
in view of the fact that the other three fourths
are inferior sorts. No matter whether it be ap-
pies, pears, peaches, grapes, raspberries, black
berries or Strawberries, no man should grow but
q few of the best of each kind. But which is the
best, is the great trouble. 1t won't do to trust
TO the seller as he, in most cases. is a mere pro-
ducer of small trees and plants, and he does not
know perhaps which are the best The nursery
men often recommend that kind that they have
the most Of SO there is no safety but for the pur-
chaser first to ascertain, if he can, what he ought
to buy, and then order those particular varieties,
with an emphatic injunction, "send the varieties
named or nothing

RAISING GARDEN HEKBs

Anotber herb of great service TO the best cooks
liz the leek kind of onion which is no onion, as
il makes all tops and little roots. 1t is not as
strong as the ordinary onion, and gives deli
cate flavor to certain soups and sauces that moth
ing of the tribe will do. This also has to be
sown early, and on very rich ground. But If
possible the richness should be given TO the
ground the previous year. Fresh and rank ma
nure is unfavorable to good leek culture.
Many make good use in Winter Of mariOram
and Summer savory. These are raised from seeds
sown at this season of the year.
Sage and thyme are perennials; but they re-
quire an occasional pruning or replsnting to get
them in the best condition. II left to themselves
they become woody, scrawly and somewhat bar
rem of leaves, If they are not entirely killed by
the severity Of the Winter. Thyme can be kept
in good condition by being simply sbeared down
to the ground or cut back with knife every
Spring. This induces good, healthy growth,
which is in excellent condition for use at any
time. Sage is often kept many years in good
condition by simply cutting back ; but often It
needs starting quite anew. This may be done
by taking cuttings of the old plant and burying
them deep in the ground, SO that the tops of the
shoots are barely above the surface. These root
very well, and soon make good plants.
There are other herbs useful some occa-
siOns but these are essential to every good gar

How 70 Wash ssnusr Suits.


The following, which was written by some one
who pretends to know, will doubtless be Of in
terest and value 10 the ladies. Summer suits are
nearly all made of buff linen, pique, cambria, or
muslin, and the art of preserving the new ap,
pearance after washing is a matter of the very
greatest Importance. Nothing is more frequent
than to see the delicate tints of lawns and per
Gales turned into dark blotehes and muddy streaks
by ignorance. In the first place, the water
should be tapid, the soap should not be allowed
to touch the fabric. When washed IL should, be
turned upon the wrong side and hung in the
shade to dry, and then, when starcheG, Tin thin
boiled, but not boiling starch,) should be folded
in sheets or towels and ironed upon the wrong
side as soon possible. But linen should be
washed in water in which either quart bag OF
bran or hay has been boiled. This last will be
found to answer for starch as well, and is ex-
celent fer print dresses of all kinds, bat hand.

SHOULD Milk or Cream be Churnedf The n.
Y. Observer reports an experiment from which il
appears that about $50 pounds of milk made
twenty-five pounds of butter, or sixteen to one.
The milk was sour and thick. 1t was thought
that the quality of the butter would have been
somewhat better if the milk had only Just begun
to turn. As to velocity in churning it was said
that there should be from forty to sixty strokes
of the dasher in minute. Some say that the
motion should be continuous; others, that the
cream Tor milk should have intervals of rest,
and that the cir should occasionally be intro
duced. It has been discovered by the microscope
that butter exists in the milk enclosed in thin
sacks of albumen, and these sacks are to be thor
oughly broken to make good butter They are
sometimes seen mixed with butter, being only
torn in two The effect of souring is injurious
The great objection to churning milk is the
great amount of power required.

PREsERv ALTON OF FURs.-A correspondent

our winter furs, will mention how preserve
mine entirely free from the attacks of the moth.
first hang them out in the sun for a day or two,
then give them good beating and shaking up, to
be sure no moth is in them already. then wrap
up a lump of camphor in a rag and place in each /;
then wrap up each in sound newspaper and
paste together, that there is hole OF crevice
through which moth can gain entrance-and
my furs are perfectly safe. You will say that
there is no secret in this, and there is none.

is not too hard cork for her, without sending them
