night such as he had never passed be-

the whole story from beginning to

ain trying TO Keep my ornamental
plants alive by watering them, although
this is an irksome task where one has
not made preparation for thorough irri-
CATION. think most persons make a
mistake in giving too little water at a
time and applying it frequently, instead
of thoroughly soaking the sol! at once
and then applying no more for week
or more. This sprinkling the surface
does little or no good, for the water
makes the soil bake little harder each
time, keeping out the air, forming an
excellent conductor for the heat TO pene-
trate the earth, driving out what little
moisture ii may contain.
Water should be applied in sufficient
guam titles 10 saturate the soil Down TO
the lowest roots, and il this is done,
there will be no need Of giving freque Mt
applications. Around trees and all
coarse plants a mulch Of some kind
shsuld be applied after watering to pre-
vent evaporation and keep the soil cool
as well as moist. Among small plants
the hoe and rake must be kept in con-
slant use, to keep the sell loose and pre-
vent it becoming baked and hard.
Heat will pass through a brick and
drive out every particle of moisture in
much less time than il will through the
.au,a ora,,;t,- IF lonua coil IT, ,Da.,;
cles of which the brick is made are
pressed together forming an excellent
conductor for heat, and evaporation pro-
eeeds slow or rapid as heat is Transmitted
through the mass. A heavy clay soil is
usually very wet or very dry. because of
its compactness but to talk Of breaking
up deeply, aerating and draining a soil
that gets as hard and dry as brick in
summer, may appear TO some persons
the height of folly, but it is cheapest and
most expeditions way of making it dry
in wet weather and moist in time Of
drought.
Hundreds Of ornamental trees have
died and are now dying in my neighbor-
hood simply fer the want of moisture
that has been driven out OF the brick
like soil about their roots. A little wa
ter and breaking up of the earth about
them would have prevented their death.
Trees that are worth five or more dol
lars each could have been saved by an
outlay Of from five to ten cents; but
there is little use Of talking to those who
will neither read nor reason.-r Rural

The London Garden says: "Top
dressing can be applied to orchard trees
on grass with the perfect confidence that
improved crops will follow, although
the grass itself may be the first to show
the benefit of top-dressing. There is
before MS an instance of a. orchard of
apple trees planted on THU gravelly
soil the trees were covered with moss
and stunted, although no, by any means
old about IS years.) The grass of this
orchard had been mown year amer year
for the sake oftidiness, thus exhausting
the soil more than the trees did. A rath-
er rough system of top dressing was in
augursted at a sacrifice of appearances;
all sorts of refnse material were wheeled
or carted into the orchard and spread
over the surface, such as siited coal ash
es, old decayed tan, the soil and rubbish
from the potting bench, sweepings and
scrspipgs of roads, etc, until a consider
able thickness of material had accumu-
lated. The first result was a trouble
some growth OF grass, which was kept
down with the scythe. but not cleared
away--on the contrary, allowed to rot
on the surface. By and by the trees be.
gan 10 emit quantities of young roots
from the lower parts Of their boles into
the tor-dressing, and the second result
was, that the next crop of apples was
considerably larger and of a much i'm
proved quality; the branches were Sc
verely thinued to admit light and air,
well busted with quicklime to remove
moss and lichens, and they were amply
repaid annually by this simple atten-

DRYING SWEET CoRN.-Sweet corn
may be dried and cooked in the winter
and spring, and be almost as good as the
corn fresh from the garden. In the first
place. pick that which is in good condi.
ton for the table, put it into kettle and
sca.d il by boiling about five minutes,
then as soon as cool cut it from the cobs,
put it on plates, and dry it in the oven,
then put it into paper bags. and it will
keep till wanted to cook. Another way
is described by lady as follows: "The
corn is gathered IT the most suitable
state for boiling, not too cd nor too
green; thin slice is taken of all around
the outside of the ears with sharp
knife, taking of as little as possible yet
cutting the top off from every kernel.
Then with the back of The knife the ears
are scrapcd, taking out all the inside of
the kernels ana leaving the shins aud
hulls on the cobs. The milky mass is
then spread on plates. and dried in a
quick oven, but not so hot as TO sco-ch
it. After it is nearly dry, it i. put into
thin muslin aud hung up around the
stove until thoroughly dry"

Ne Summons,

Jubilee. jubilee! Motherland. hafl to thee.
Hail to thy glory, thy prlde and thy worth!
All thy sons flock to thee, fly to thee, sail to thee
Lovingly keep the feast of thy birth.
Throw all the banners outl

Gather thine own from the ends Of the earth.
Gather BY millions, from low land and highland
Kneel at shrines where our forefathers knelt,
Call all from mainland, and foreland. and island
Where the figs ripen. or SHOWS never melt;
Where the swim shuttles hum:
Where the fails fash and drum,
Normsn and Saxon, and Teuton, and Celt.
Come from the mountains where brood the
fierce eagles.
Come from the groves where the mocking
birds call.
From tie blue pillows where drifl the white
sea gulls,
OR where the red leaves OF the prairie rose
fall.
CONS while the starry eyed,
Heaven born. rainbow died
Banner Of liberty streams over all.
Loyal to thee and thine, nation all-beautifnl.
Nursed in thy bosom. or borne by the sea,
Come We with reyerent homage and dutiiul,
Homeland so happy, united and free.
Hail TO thy hundred years,
Forward with songs and cheers,
Keeping the year Of our lands jubilee,
