Summer Soups.

A most delicious pea soup is made as
follows: Put half a pound of butter
into soup-kettle, over the fire, and
add to it quart of green peas. Shake
them round constantly for fifteen min
utes to prevent their browning. Then
take out half the peas, and set aside,
then pour in two quarts of vegetable
stock, or some prefer boiling water.
Cut fine about a pint of spinach, half
dozen green onions, little mint if
agreeable, and a head of celery. Set
the kettle where this will stew slowly
two hours, till all the materials are re-
duced to jelly, then add the pint of
peas reserved, three tablespoonfuls of
sweet butter rolled in flour. two tea
spoonfuls of salt and one of black pep
per. Let it just boil up, then pour into
a hot soup tureen, and serve immedi-
ately.
Julienne Potage-or soup-or soup
for June and July, from which it takes
its name because it should have a good
proportion of all summer vegetables, is
made as follows:
Take equal parts of carrots, turnips,
celery, onions, cabbage, lettuce. leek-

a little sorrel and chervil. Cut the red
part of the carrots in long strips, then

Level Culture.

At the beginning of farm life, in or.
der to learn the most improved meth
DDS, L employed first-class farmer and
gardener, fresh from England. He
persisted in a mode of cultivation pre-
cisely the reverse of what l had been
used to seeing-allowing the mangels
and sugar beets, the corn, potatoes,
pease, beans, cucumbers, melons, to-
matoes. cabbage, ETC., to go without
any killing up. The mangels and sugar
beets stood high above the ground, the
dubious parts exposed to the sun, many
of the mangles falling over and grow
ing crooked. The part of the cucum-
beers above ground, which 1 insisted,
as rather a root than stem. should be
surrounded by earth, was left entirely
exposed to the sun. l thought the sun
would parch the roots and they would
break or be injured when the stem
should fall from the upright to a hori-
zontal position.
The Englishman would have his way,
but agreed l should treat some of each
sort of plants in my own way. So a
few of all sorts were hilled up, and full
ly as well worked in other respects as
his, during the season. For few
weeks mine grew as well RS his, and
the cucumbers, pease, ETC., blOomed as
early. After one gathering of cucum-
beers. pease, etc., and the dry season
set in, mine persisted, while his con
tinued to bloom and bear. and so of the
melons. My potatoes made about halt
crop of small tubers, dug from dry
hills; his yielded bounteously of large
ones, dug from moist earth, at the same
time in field. So with the mangels,
sugar beets, etc. The hilled pease.
beans, etc, fired early in the season,
and succumbed to the drought. With
out this experience, if one had said that
killing up growing plants would kill
them, 1 should have joined in the re-
Spouse of million of farmers, denounc-
ing it as false and contrary to expert
ence because they did not perish on the
day they were hilled up. Ever since
have avoided killing and ridging about
growing plants, and cultivated the
soil as levelly as possible.

And the bugle rang again;
And two knights appeared advancing,
Like two eagles on the wing.

than pepper, and in his excitement he opened
his mouth and shot the liquid across the table
