FARM AND GARDEN.


Every one knows that cabbngcs wlIl
moi grow fast or head out well unless
tbcy are Aocd very often, Most have
pl.6 learned that this crop doca the best
if hocd very early IN the morning, while
fine dew is on the ground IIociug later
in the day, when the dew ha. cyapof-
atcd, will not have the same effect, The
reasons appear 10 be these: The dew
being covered with soil, Is retained, aud
helps keep the earth moist, 10 contains
II large amount Of oxygen, which IL took
from the air, These act 10 dccomposc
the soil and to hasten the growth ol
plants. It also ab,orbs a large quantity
Of ammonia, which is directly taken up
by the plant, Now the same cause
ought 10 produce the same effects on
other plants, and il has been found by
observing farmers that they do. Market
gardeners prefer to have potatoes hocd
either when the soil il wet with dew or
after Il sipht rain.
Observations made by one Of the best
farmers in Wisconsin, extending through
many years, convinced him that there
was great advantage in blowing land
while it was wet with dew. Especially
was this the case when clover or grass
was plowcd under. II was found that
the grass aud sod rotlcd much sooner,
aud that the succeeding crops were larger
and Of better quality.

Public Debt Of Spain.

The termination of the CarIist war,
closing ut length the irightiuI drain
upon the resources Of the treasury, must
be followed speedily by measures caIcu'
lated to introduce order and economy
into the finances Of Spain, Nothing
wilder or more ]ruinous can be imagined
than the cxpcdicnts to which excessive
ministers OF finance have rcsOrtcd dur
ing the last few years In order to obtain
funds to carrying on the war with Don
Carlos, 1t was n matter of life and death
for the government to find money, nj
least for the troops in the north and
east, and it was found, but upon terms
more bcfitting ConstantinOplc or Caro-
than n European capital, Twenty per
cent. has been frequently paid, and at
times money, which must be had, could
not be borrowed under thirty, in this
way the floating debt has been raised to
G20, 600, 600, although it is long since
any attempt was made to pay the hold
crs OF three per cents. 1t is difficult to
arrive at u Just estimate Of the actual
amount Of debt which forms part of the
acknowledged obligations Of Spain at
the present moment. There are, how
ever, a consolidated debt of 1880, OOO,-
600; bonds to the amount Of E3O,OOO,-
600 issued in favor of the clergy and Of
civil corporations; G22,OOO,O 600 Of rail
