Watering House Plants.

In most instances house plants and
growing flower stalks do not receive one
half the necessary supply Of water, while
in some cases too much is applied. Eve
ry dower pot and flower box should be
provided with some means of escape for
the surplus water. If the earth is press
ed firmly about the roots the plant will
receive all the moisture it requires before
the escape is made. A space of about a
quarter or half an inch should be left be-
tween the surface Of the soil and the rim
of the pot or box, that the water may
not wash the edges to the floor or into
the saucers, but be allowed to stand and
work gradually down. Moderately
warm water seems most agreeable to
these adopted children of ours, and sure
" they thrive best when INDUCED in this
respect.
Much that is erroneous has been said
of the danger of watering house plants
too freely; but they suffer more frequent
ly from the opposite mistake. The
earthen pots in general use are very por
Gus, and evaporation through them takes
place speedily in our dry, warm rooms.
The earth should never be allowed to be
come dust dry; neither should the water
stand all day in pools about the roots
and lower stems, and, thus, standing,
become sour and disagreeable. Every
flower pot should stand upon n saucer or
plate. and there should be hole in the
bottom of the pot, so that the dry soil
may absorb water when it is poured on
the plate. When the soil will absorb no
more, the water on the saucer should be
turned out.
The weekly clarion., 1877-11-14
setting Milk for Cream.

1t is not to be wondered at that the
average dairyman of our State is puzzled
TO know what 10 do for the best. Pro-
fessor Wilkinson tells him plainly that
nothing but shallow pans and subearth
duets will do, while Professor Hardin is
equally certain that pans (twenty inches)
sunk to the rim in water, at tempera
ture of fifty degrees, alone insure the lar
eest yield Of the best quality of butter !;
and now both of these are overtopped by
the new Cooley system, which proposes
to inclose the milk in deep, narrow can,
with water tight lid, and sink it under
water, which is carefully kept at low
temperature by the use Office.
Our own experiments satisfy US that
both extremes are right, provided certain
rules, as unalterable as those of the
Me6es and Persians, are observed. At a
temperature of about sixty degrees, deep
cans will not do; the milk will usually
sour before all the cream reaches the
surface. When this temperature is un-
avoidable, shallow and broad pans will
give the best results. When cold water
is abundant and the means OF keeping it
at fry degrees or lower are at hand, it
will be found that cans twenty inches
deep, and eight or nine in diameter will
save much labor, and at the same time
make quite as much or better butter.
Those dairymen whose situation is COW
cred by the first case, should be cautious
in the use Of deep cans. 1t is no doubt
for the want of proper observance of
these simple rules that we now have a
conflict Of sentiment as to the compara-
tive merits of deep and shallow setting.

NVanscrIpg Geraninnar.

will describe my method of wintering
geraniums with least trouble and pretty
uniform success. Before the plants are
injured by frost, raise them carefully from
the ground, as if for potting. Shake off
the loose dirt, if any adheres shorten
the branches by cutting off from one-third
to one-half OF their length; tie as.many
together as may be convenient for hand
ling attach label indicating the variety
and hang them in an adverted position
closely together to the beams in the eel
lar.
Treating them in this manner, L have
no difficulty in carrying large majority
| of them successfully through the winter
/ Indeed, the loss of a single plant is an
i exception, rather than otherwise. About
/ the time for planting flower seeds in the
/ hot beds, in the spring, | plant the gera
NUNS closely together in tubs or boxes,
covering the roots well with fine earth
and watering sufficiently to keep the roots
moist. Ii prepared in this manner, and
kept in a secure place, find they will be
ready for planting out as soon as the
season will admit of it, and will be as
forward in their bloom as those usually
wintered in the cellar with the roots GOV
cred with earth.
1t should be understood, however, that
three things are important to success IN
this mode of treatment. The plants
should not be hung in cellar where
there is a furnace to dry the atmosphere
to such an extent that the branches will
become dried and withered, beyond re-
suscitation On the other hand, the eel
lar should not be too moist, as III that
case the plants are liable to mould and
rot and in the third case, the cellar
should be impervious to frost. The tenn
perature should be about the same as is
necessary for the successful wintering OF
fruit and vegetables generally. | usually
winter large numbers of geraniums IN
this manner, both of double and single
varieties-zopale and ornamental leaved
!. alike-with very satisfactory results.
The careful washing of the roots, when
the plants are taken up in the fall, as il
seems, is recommended by some, Is, IL
, my opinion, a useless waste Of labor, anc
| think rather injurious than otherwise,
as the less the roots are handled or dis
f turbed, the better-COr. Rural New
