HIGH CULTURE FOR VEGETARLEs.-We
do not entirely like the term high cul-
ture either as matter of taste or policy.
Yet the idea it is intended to convey is
undoubtedly correct and sound. Thor
ough tillage, with the right kind of
manure and plenty of it, is sound
maxim not only for the vegetable
garden but for every department of the
farm. 1t is true that cases of overstim-
ulating may sometimes occur, but the
fault is nearly always in the opposite
direction. Large vegetable products,
though sometimes objected to as OF
doubtful or inferior quality, are always
the outcome of fertile soils. We never
hear of these large results from sterile
or neglected soils. No man need fear
the consequences of heavy manuring in
the vegetable garden. Rapidity of
growth means superior quality. When
ever you see small, imperfectly devel-
oped or half -ripened vegetables in the
market, you may be sure the man who
raised them neglected his soil. What
ever branch of farming or gardening
such laggards engage in is very likely
to be discredited by their mode of pur-
suing it.

As at present worked, the gold and
silver mines of Japan do not appear to
be of much value. Iron ore is abun-
dant and the mines are rch. Magnetic
ore in sand and lump is most commonly
used. Lead is extracted in many pro-
yinces, but in faulty manner and in
small quantities. Some of the ores are
very rich. Tin is reported to be found
in two localities, and the quicksilver
mines are not worked.

Ne,c Size for CottOns.-H Haitra is pro-
cured from China and Japan, and may
be used for thickening cOlOrs and siz-
ing all tissues. For use it is washed in
water and is then boiled with sixty
times its weight of water, in q closed
vessel, at IS degs. Fab. The paste thus
obtained will keep, and adheres to the
fiber SO tenaciOusly that when once dry
it cannot be removed with cold water.

To KEEP BUTTER SwEET.-A friend
assures us that his wife always keeps
butter sweet or removes rancid taste
and odor from it by means of charcoal
packed in the vessel with it. She cuts
smooth sticks of charcoal, and, after
washing the dust from them, shoves
them through the butter perpendicu-
larly, allowing them 10 remain in the
vessels until the butter is consumed.
Fresh butter will never become rancid
if thus packed, while rancid butter will
soon become as sweet as ever. This
may be a valuable hint to those who
make butter to sell.

CANDIED orange peel, or orange citron
is easily made. The only difficulty IL
to obtain the orange with thick enough
peel, as the thicker it is the better.
Soak the peel in salt and water day
and night, then freshen the same length
of time; make a syrup of sugar, using
a pound to each pound of peel, and boil
until nearly transparent.

PICKLES IN JARs.-Take gherkins, or
young cucumbers the size of your fore
finger, puncture them with needle,
and put over them dry salt. In two
days throw this off; add as much more
let this stay two days, and pour off.
Drain them on a cloth, put them in jars
and pour over them boiling vinegar, in
which ginger, black pepper, sliced
horseradish, mace. cloves and allspice,
with shalots and garlic have been in
fused. In two days drain OFF the vine
gar, boil and pour it on the cucumbers.
Repeat this process three or four times,
and they will become perfectly green
and plump.

Dear Sir-It may be some satisfaction
to you to be informed of the result of
the trial of the PERUVIAN SYRUP" in
my family. My daughter was brought
low by typhoid fever last spring, and
after the fever left her she continued
very weak, and the simplest food dis
trcssed her. For months she remained
in the same debiiitated condition; but
from the 1st of September last, when
she commenced taking the Syrup. the
digestive functions improved, and she
steadily gained strength and vivacity :;
and now, having taken two bottles, she
is restored TO good state of health; in
deed, she appears more really healthy
than she has for several years past.
am of opinion that the ''Protoxide of
lrOn," contained in the Peruvian Syrup.
was adapted to her case, and effected
what no other known medicine could
have effected. Yours truly.

Few persons practice pruning Gu
cumber, melon, and other similar kinds

properly done, as the annual pruning
of the grape and other woody plants.
The pruning should be confined, how

To PREVENT Poison BY IvY.-When
obliged to work near poison ivy, wash
rhe hands and wet the face in a strong
solution of sugar of lead, before and
after working where it Is. and no bad
effects will follow. Only take care in
using sugar of lead that there is no sore,
cut, or skin off where it touches. A
farmer when moving right in the midst
of poison ivy covers his hands with
machine oil, and effectnally prevents
poisoning. If he neglects this he may
be badly poisoned.

CABBAGE EQUAL TO CAULIFLowER.-
Remove the outer leaves from solid
small sized head of cabbage, and cut the
remainder as fine as for slaw. Have on
the fire a spider or deep skillet, and
when it is hot, put in the cut cabbage,
pouring over it right away pint of
boiling water. Cover closely, and allow
it to cook rapidly for ten minutes.
Drain off the water, and add half a
pint of new milk, or part milk and
cream; when it boils, stir in large
teaspoOnful of either wheat or rice tlour,
moistened with milk; add salt and pep
per, and as soon as it comes to boil,
serve. Those who find slaw and other

DOHEsTIC.

DIsINrEcrANTs.-A report of the med
ical officers of the British Privy Coun-
ell and Local Government Board throws
discredit upon popular notions of disin-
fectiOn. The conclusion reached Is
that aerial disinfectiOn, as commonly
practiced in the sick room, sis either
useless or positiveably Objectionable,
owing to the false sense Of security 1t is
calculated to produce. To make the air
of a room smell strongly of carbolic
acid by scattering carbOlic powder
about the floor, or Of chlorine by placing
a tray of chloride of lime in a corner, is,
so far as the destruction of specific con-
tagion is sconcerned AN utterly futile pro-
ceeding. The practical result OF expert
ments goes to prove that dry heat, when
it can be applied, is the most efficient OF
all disinfectants; that the old plan oil
stopping up crevices and fumlgatlng
with sulphur and charcoal, is more efh-
cacious than any other proceeding with
more modern disinfectants; and that the
use of carbolic vapOr for disiDfectlng
purposes should be abandoned, owing
to the relative feebleness and uncer-
tainty of its action" To these medical
conclusions the experience of wise
nurses adds the suggestions: Ihat no
patient, who can possibly be removed,
should spend night and day in the same
apartment. One room may be thor
oughly ventilated while the other Is
occupied. Many napkins, handker-
chiefs, and other articles which are sent
to the wash tub should go into the fire.
Every particle of foul matter should be
instantly removed from the sick room.
All scraps of food should be at once taken
away, when the patient has finished hi:
meal. The nurses and attendants should
take especial care of their own health,
and strength, and cheerfulness; and
above all, no fussiness should annoy the
patient. Simply let the room be kept
neat and comfortable, and in that mode
infection is guarded against before ii
becomes dangerous.
