PLANTING CURRANTS.- IL. B. d. r..
BlQckland Mass, asks whether in put
ting out an acre Of Currauts it woul
not be best TO have half them Red
Dutch, with Cherry or La Versaillaise;
at what distance apart should they be
planted; and whether white Currants
have only limited market.
ANs.-The Cmrant is the most hardy.
prolific and accommodating Of fruits, for
which reason (there can be no other it
is of all fruits the most neglected. II
well pruned and cultivated, the fruit will
grow thrice the size Of that which neg
lected bushes yield. The Red Dutch
under such care becomes as large as the
Grape or Cherry when neglected, and
being more prolific, in fact the most pro-
life of Currants, should be given a pro-
portionate share Of our grounds. We
have no doubt that the Red Dutch,
cared for as we have intimated, viii, year
in and out, prove the profitable variety.
Four feet apart each way would be our
choice of distance. About 200 plants
would then be required for an acre,
There is less market demand for white
than red Currants.

How to have Nice Plauts.

The inquiry is often made of me by
people when visiting my green house
How do you have such fresh-looking
plantsY And, thinking p rhaps some
Of the IN my who read the RURAL
New. YORKER would like to know how
| treat my plants, venture to write
the following.
FIRST of all, am very careful DOT to
have any dust set in motion in the
house; for when plants are in a heal
thy condition, the pores of the leaves
are all open. dust falling on them
fills up the pores, causing the leaves
to look dry, aud after while to fall
of.
Second, Ian careful 10 give my
plants water when they need it most
and not to give any when the earth is
already wet. as too much moisture
causes them to turn a dark green and
the roots begin to decay. On the
other hand, if kept too dry, the edges
of the leaves first, and then the whole
leaf, will turn yellow, aud soon the
entire plant lonks as if 1t bad stood
where the fire had scorched it.
Third, | am careful what kind of
soil | use. For Geraniums | use
three parts of decayed sods, two parts
ofscrapings of the barn.yard, and one
of sand A; for Heliotrop s, three parts
manure, one part sodS, and one, sand.
Many tail to havs healthy Heliotropes
by not having the soil rich enough.
For Carnations | use sods, two parts
manure and sand, one part each: for
Roses, leaf mold, two parts; manure
and sand, one part each; for Verbenas
sods, one part; manure and sand. one
part each give the soil Tor these
five sorts as they are the most com
monty grown. If this mixture is used,
and the plants are treated in the way l
have described, l think any one may
keep them nice and thrifty.
In conclusion will say, give your
plants all The sun possible, NOV
lngouly when obliged to, keeps
ing the temperature a. 60 de-
grees, and those who have failed pre-
viously, will, l think. be successful
now.

COLORING INSTEAD OF PAINTING
PLAsTER.-M E. c., Spring HILL. Ne,c
Brunswick. is building new house and
having heard that there is a way of col
oring tue finishing coat of plaster in
ftead of painting it, asks for recipe
or doing so.
ANs.-There are some very agreeably
colored preparations made for the pur-
pose above mentiOntioned. known as
prepared kalsomine. These are kept
for sale by painter, and directions are
given on the package for using them.
The materials consist of Spanish white
glue and mineral cOloring matters of
the desired shade, or the finishing coat
itself may be colored of any desired
shade, adding to it. and working up
thoroughly withlt the proper pigments,
always choosing those that would not be
changed by the action of the lime or
plaster. 1t would not be easy for an
amateur to make a neat job, as the
coloring should be perfectly even all
over the work, and that will require
much skill.

A DANGEROUS ToRPcR.-Torpor OF
inactivity or the kidneys is scriourly
dangerous to those organs, since it is
the precedent of diseases which de
siroy their substance and endanger
life. This sluggishness may be over
come by stimulating them, not exs
cesslvely, but moderately, an effect
produced by Hostetter's Stomach Bit,
tiers, a general inv;gorant and altere-
alive, possessing diuretic properties OF
no common order. The impetus
which this admirable medicine gives
to their evscuative function counter
acts any tendency to congestion which
may exist in their tissues. Both
they and their associate organ, the
bladder, are invigorated as well as
gently stimulated by the Bitters, which
exerts a kindred influence upon the
stomach. liver and bowels, and by
strengthening the system, enables it to
withstand malsrial epidemics, to
which when exposed it might other
v Use succumb.

MULCHING.- B. J. u, SanduSky, o..
asks whether in view of the chances OF
a dry season, he shall heavily mulch a
number Of plants which he names.
ANs.-Itls hard to get at facts in
many seemingly simple things. There
is no doubt that 10 dry seasons a heavy
mulch or covering of manure, straw, or
other substance will be of decided adj
vantage to many plants, such as Cur
rants, Strawberries, etc., in the way OF
producing larger fruit. We once
thought, however, that several of our
Magnolias were killed by mulching.
and have since thought that several 9TH
er plants were harmed by it. Mulch
ing produces a sour condition of the soil
and the growth offungi, which may be
be injurious to the roots underneath.

Charity and Its Abuse.
