HOT-BED FOR CUTTINGS.

AL cuttings take best in hot-bed,
but most persons who raise only few
flowers and the like for their own
home enjoyment look upon hot-bed
as something entirely beyond their
reach. There never was greater mis-
take-a hot-bed that will answer every
purpose may be made on a small scale
by almost any one. Take any rough
box, two feet or more in depth, and of
q size to suit your purpose; knock off
the bottom; dig hole in sunny ex-
posure of the size of the box, and deep
enough, 40 that when inserted the top
will be only an inch or two above the
surface of the ground; fill the box two
thirds full of fresh stable manure, we'll
packed in, and cover it with three
inches of prepared sandy soil or leaf
mold from the woods. Next arrange a
cover of some kind of cloth, as COM
mon cotton domestic, for instance-it
should be secured to a frame or sash
just large enough to cover the box, and
would be the better of an oiling with
linseed oil. When the manure has
fermented two or three days the bed is
ready for use. The cuttings should be
inserted in small pots, filed with clean
sand, plunged in the hot bed, and kept
moist. Raise the sash occasionally to
give them air.

sufficient reply might be made to the effect
that the Governor can ride anything any
other man can, and therefore felt no heslta-
tion in mounting even young, unoroken
muse; but the true and better reason is
that he chose to use the animal in question
rather than contfhue the hunt upon the

had already done him good service the day

DENIzENs OF THE BLUEGRASS REGION.
The Lexington, ky., Press says:
Mr.. Chan. Reticker, with whose name the
people Of Lexington are familiar, returned
to the city Yesterday. He is direct from
Brazil uiq New York. Mr.. Reticker went
Oh visit to his possessions in Brazil in the
province of Panama. where he has q
clear title to 4 piece OF land-a small-slzed
farm of over 100000 acres, in two sec
tious, the smaller containing little less
than 100000 acres-a rich coffee-growlpg
country. He has laid claim and is perfect
ing his title to another section adjoining
the main body, of 100000 acres. SO soon
as the survey is completed he Will nave
the title clear to that. His territory eX-
tends $50 miles along the river OF Guess, to
the navigation of which stream for that dis
tance he has the exclusive privilege for fifty
years. Mr.. Reticker's plan is to stock this
rich country, the land OF which is very like
that of Kentucky, with fine horses and cat
tie. He has on one little place already over
500 head. He will cut his land up into
thousand-acre sections for the purposes OF
cultivation and cattle-raising. He will
purchase stock here in Kentucky-horses,
cattle, and Sheppard ship them by sea
to Rio de Janeiro. His ships will sail from
New York every sixty days. He will encour.
age immigration into Brazil, and offer largo
inducements to Americans to accompany
him to his territory, where be intends to
establish towns. He points upon the
map the locations for these hives of indus
try and marts of commerce. AS an extra
| inducement the Government OF Brazil has
| by letlers-patent given him the right tc
| import goods of American manufacture fol
himself and the people Of his ter, itory duty
free. Mr.. Reticker is quite enthusiastic
over the new undertaking in which he j;
now engaged. and is sanguine OF brilliant
success. A Brazilian gentleman Will ot
here shortly, who will assist Mr.. Retiekel
in his business, and the selection OF STOCK
for shipment will be begun Immediately
It is expected that the first expectation will
be made in April. Mr.. Reticker feels tha
he has been treated kindly by Kentucklans
and he wants Kentucky, and especially tins
section of it, to get the benefit Of the Bra
lillian stock frade.
