FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD


Carrots for the late crop may still be
sown, using plenty of seed, us the young
plants are weak, and cannot break
through the soil unless sown thickly.
Weed us early rs the rows can be seen.
CABBAGEs.-Th early crop should be
kept growing by frequent hoeings.
Plants of the late sorts in seed beds
should not be too crowded, and the cab
bage worm kept off; picking will answer
here.
BEETs.-Those who would enjoy beets
in their perfection should keep up a sue
cession of the Egyptian, to use while
they are still young. Trimmings of these
and of the late crop make an excellent
substitute f)r spinach.
BLACKBERRIEs AND RAsPBERRIEs.- -
See that the fruiting canes are properly
tied up to stakes or trellis. The young
canes should be pinched off at four feet
for raspberries and six feet for black
berries. Cut away the old canes after
fruiting is past.
EGG PLANT.-Set out in very rich
ground. The potato-bugs will find
them the same day, and must be fought
from the start; at first, hand picking
may answer, but when the plants get
large, the only safety is in the applica-
ton of Paris green.
Tomatoes in private garden should
always have u trellis OF support of some
kind, and should be tied to it before the
plants fall over. If the plants once get
out of shape it is difficult to manage
them. The simplest frame of poles that
will keep them from the ground will
answer.
BEANs.-1f not already done, put in
the Limas; if a cold rain has injured the
first lot, replant. These and other pole
beans need a little attention at first to
make them take to the pole. Put in the
bush sorts for succession; the " Refugee"
is regarded as best late variety and the
best for picking.
ONIONS.-Those from seed will need
wedding early. A top-dressing of wood
ashes helps the growth wonderfully. A
dressing of salt is thought to prevent a
rust that sometimes appears. Keep those
from sets clean. Where onions are
marketed, they usually bring q better
price when sent to market in punches,
half grown, then when ripe.
Squashes are subject to several enemies
at least three insects devour the leaves, a
borer attacks the stems and caterpiller
eats the young fruit. Hand picking will
do much, but if the spotted Galeruca ap-
pears, we shall try Paris green, as we
know no other remedy. For the borer
it is advised to slightly bury the first
few joints of the vine.
ODDS AND ENDs,-Fill vacant spots
with sweet herbs from seed-bed. Use
the hoe. Cut off flower stalks us often
rs they appear upon the rhubarb. Use
the rake. Take care of the hot-bed and
other sashes. Use both hoe and rake.
Use all the wedding implemements often.

Grape-GrOVVing.

A'writer in the Practical Farmer says
| see much written in the Farmer
about growing grapes, but have seen no
plan described and recommended like
mine. AS / never lose a crop of grapes
from frost in the spring or from rot or
mildew in summer, and have used this
plan, after experimenting with many re-
commended methods of training, prun-
ing, etc., for eight years, L can recon-
mend it confidently. The vines can be
grown as for other plans of training,
the first two years. At the first
pruning, after the vines are two years
old, if the vines are strong so as to have
two arms to fasten to the wire, in oppo-
site directions, | put in a stake equally
distant between each two vines. The
stakes should be six feet long and put
eighteen inches deep into the ground. |
then fasten n wire-No. I6 will do-to
each stake along the row, and give each
vine a wrap or two around the wire
they need no tying. / then place plank,
full length of the rows, on top of the
stakes, driving one nail through the
plank into each stake. The plank should
be twelve to fifteen inches wide, and six
inches above the vine. | always let two
shoots grow about six inches below the
wire, for the next years fruiting; all
other shoots pinch the ends off of, at
about three leaves from last bunch OF
grapes, and take off all suckers that may
appear after pinching, except the end
one, which / do not pinch any more.
| have no tying up of young shoots, as
let them grow in their own natural
way, and by the time the fruit is full
grown, the vines loaded with fruit are
under cover where due and heavy rains
and hail cannot injure in the least, and
the fruit-even the Concord-can be
kept on the vines for weeks after being
fully ripe. have kept them sound OF
the.vines until frost in autumn. This is
not costly here where plank is worth
only 81 per hundred feet. Forty of the
leading varieties of grapes have been
grown here on this plan, and all proved
successful

EcOnCmiZing Fuel.

One of the great objections to ordi-
nary freplaces is that too much of the
heat goes up the chimney, and innumer-
able have been the attempts to obviate
that loss. Register stoves have been
invented, and various contrivances adopt
ed to regulate the draught and reduce
the size of the fue. One method pro-
posed was to light the fro on the top,
and, after the first few minutes. as the
heat spread downward, all the smoke
passing through the upper incandescent
layer was consumed, and so much the
more heat saved; but the moment the
6re had to be made up again all the ad-
vantages were lost. One OF the latest
suggestions to prevent the waste of heat
was to form the bottom of the CRATE OF
an iron plate instead of bars. An i'm.
provement on that plan is a patent coal
economizer, which has hollow pierced
cylinder rising from the middle of the
plate. The air entering the cylinder
from below the CRATE is thus conveyed
at once into the center of the fire, and
the heat, instead of rushing up the
chimney in undue quantity, is diffused
into the room, and coal is economical.
The perfection of combustion is achiev
ed when, instead OF feeding the cylinder
with the vitiated air of the room, it is
supplied by pipe communicating with
the external air. And further, we are
informed that if camphor or any other
disinfectant is hung on the cylinder, the
scent is driven into every corner CT the
apartment. So that room may be per-
fumed, disinfected or ventilated by this
contrivance when properly managed.

The Changes In the Frog.

The Depth Of Depravlty.

A Western paper tells of a new and
dreadfully mean swindle. A stranger
calls at grocery and calls for two quarts
of molasses. The grocer draws the
article and asks if the stranger has a
jug to put it in. "No," says the
stranger, "but you can put it in my
bat" The grocer smiles broad smile,
questions to himself whether the stranger
is fool or great American humorist,
and disposes of the molasses as request
ed, laughing half to death as he COM
pletes the job, and thinking what rare
good story he will be able to tell the
boys who gather around his stove dur
ing the long evenings to discuss politics
and chew tobacco. Suddenly he starts,
however, and with most excellent rea-
son. The disgusting stranger has clap
ped the hat on the grocer's head and
firmly drawn it down, the molasses and
all, over his ears. It takes him five
minutes to partially recover from his
establishment, the molasses and the hat,
and when he has sufficiently removed
the sweetness and tears from his eyes to
look around the deceiving person has

Forest Lands Of Europe,

The proportion of land covered with
forests throughout Europe is twenty
nine per cent, of which Russia and
Sweden furnish the greatest part. In
Russia, forty per cent. of territory is
covered with woods, and of this some
200, 900, 900 acres are covered with pines
and other cone-bearing trees. Sweden
and Norway have thirty-four per cent,
chiefly birch, maple, pine, fir and will
low. Austria has twenty-nine per cent, ,
Germany has twenty. six per cent. and
France seventeen. Far below these
comes Spain, with its cork woods and
evergreen oak forests, covering seven
per cent. Of the land, and Holland and
Belgium with the same. Portugal comes
next with five per cent, and Great Brit
ain follows with four per cent. The

countries rapidly. As far back as 1888

unpleasant men for being disorderly,
and started with them for his Office, one

young men jumped high and brought
his fist down on the high hat OF the good
