When plant is in bad condition, it is
mistake to apply stimulating fertilizer
The causes of i'll health are many, but the
most general one with those who had no
experience in the care of plants is, over
watering. Plants, to live, must have water,
to be the reasoning, and the consequence

water is the one thing needed, and with
invalids, stimulating fertilizer is the one

climbed the bank behind him; and, unwill-

determined there to await the issue. Had
she been armed, he would not have been

Day had siawned on the conflict, and
now the shadows of tho forest were fast
melting away. Leaving their enemies to
be recovered by their companions, who
would soon return for them, the rangers
remounted, and set out toward home. Ed
gar lifted Jane into his saddle, and with
little difficulty, catching one Of the Indian
horses, rode, happy as if already her hus-
band, by her side. On the morning of the
third day they once more reached her
fathers house, where the rejoicing at her
rescue were shared by the reassembled
guests, at her wedding with the Ranger
Captain.

of the roadway. The farmer owns the sol
Of half the road, and may use tho grass

value to him, either on the land or beneath

rights of the public to travel over the road,
and that of the highway surveyor to use
such materials for the repair of the road ;
and these materials may be carried away
and used elsewhere on the road. No other
man has right to feed his cattle there, or
cut the grass or trees, much less deposit
his wood, old carts, wagons or other things
there. The owner of drove of cattle that
stops to feed in front of your land, or a
drove of pigs which root up the soil, is res

person has right to cut or lop off the limbs

BLACKBERRY WI NE.-About year ago
we wrote somewhat lengthy article upon
the manufacture of wine from the native
blackberry, or dewberry, properly speaking,
which article was extensively copied in all
parts of the South. Many of our subscri-
bcrs and acquaintance, taking our SUGGESTIONS
as guide, mado large and small quantities,
with varying success. The season has again
arrived and we urge the manufacture of a
moderate quantity of this wholesome bever-
age, which in hot weather, possesses also
great medical virtues. 1t is, par crcel2ence,
a poor mans wine.
In the briefest possible manner we repeat
directions, which, if followed with reasona-
BILE exactnoss, will give wine superior in
quality to any imported or native grape
product.
Pick only ripe fruit, the ripper the better.
Remove all leaves, stems and other trash
as if preparing the berries for the table.
Take amy large kettle (not an iron one)
hllit half full of berries, adding just water
enough to cover. Heat gradually to gen.
tie boil: Have bag, made of coarse mus
lin ready and clean whisky barrel with
one end out, or large rub will answer
Pour the cooked berries and juice into the
bag, placing it in the barrel or tub
Squeeze by wringing till as much as posi-
bic of the juice has Eeon extracted. Return
this juice to the kettle, add three to four
pounds of sugar for each gallon of juice,
heat the whole to just boil and clarity it
as fit were syrup. Be careful not to scorch.
When finished, empty into a clean, sweet
whisky barrel, placed in the position it is
to occupy during the fermenting period,
and repeat the foregoing directions till the
barrel is entirely full.
Now take the "pomace" or pressed berries
heavy pressure while extracting tho juice.
Clarity as before and keep this in some
convenient vessel to use for replacing the
waste of fermentation. The barrel must
be kept full, the bung being left out for the
escape Of impuriti IS.
When fermentation has ceased, bung
tightly, but have a small gimlet-hole in the
bung filled with a small plug, which should
be occasionally removed for short time
for the escape of gas. Rack off and bottle
on some clear, cool day in the winter, and
the work is done. The spigot should be
placed in the barrel before the juice is in
troduced and great care should be taken
not to disturb or shake the barrel at any
time, even, while drawing off, The wine
will keep for an indefinite period, and grow
better with agc.-Ow Home Journal.

How THE NEGROES ARE DUPED.-
Gorgeously illuminated chrome photographs
of ka1eas Scenes have been distributed
among the blacks. A gentleman who has

with fields of ripening grain stretching away
to the setting sun.
In the foreground, Illuminated by mar
velous sunset, stood the freedman's home.
1t was picturesque cottage, with gables,
windows and wide verandahs French win
dows reached down to the floor, and through
the open easements appeared a seductive
scene in the family sitting room. The
colored father, who had just returned from
his harvest fields, sat in an easy chair read
ing newspaper, while the children and
babies rollicked on the floor of the piazza.
Through the open door of the kitchen the
colored wife could be seen directing the
servants and cooks who were preparing tho
evening meal. In the parlor, however, was
the most enchanting feature, for at grand
piano was poised the belle of the household,
and beside the piano where she was playing
stood her colored lover, devouring her with
his eyes while he abstractedly turned the
leaves of her music. Just to one side of
the dwelling appeared a commodious barn
and carriage house and workmen busily
engaged in putting in order their rcapcrs
and mowers for the following day.
In one of these pictures the "Old Auntic"
sits on the verandah knitting stockings while
she gazes on herds of buffalo and antelope,
which are feeding on the prairies beyond
the wheat fields. Approaching the gate
handsome young colored man is seen COM
ing in from hunt, with dead buck and a
string of wild turkeys slung over his shoul

coloring, the writer reports, are doing much
