Nat,ral and distorted Growth:

True taste oultivates All admiration
distorts these into artificial and gro
tesque concelts. A tree possessing nat
ural and graceful symmetry cannot but
be pleasing to a true and cultivated
Judgment; cut or sheared into the
shape of a stiff conc, q hay-cock, or a
peacock or bear, 1t becomes at once al
object of distorted unfltness. 1t Is,
however, quite common, all through
the country, to see trees, and especially
evergreene, tortured into unnatural
forms. Most common Of all is to trim
tho trunk up to q bare stom five or six
feet or moro high, giving the appear
ance Of trees on stills, instead Of at
lowing tho graceful sweep at the lower
branches Oh the surface of tho lawn.
Others, again, arc sheared baok into
the appearance Of solid mass, and
where number of trees are thus treat
cd, the door-yard appears as If filled
with number of small kay-stacks.
Such practices may be htly compared
to pinchlng the human body out OF
shape, rs pract:ced by semi-barDarous
people. If the trees threaten to grow
to large, and any cutting back is re-
quirea, let 1t be dono with a knife and
not with shears, so rs to preserve, in
some degree ut least, the natural free
outline. In some land ,cape gardening,
arched gaitways are represented and
commended, where trees are bent out
of shape and shcared Into un Datural
forms. Ii al arch Of yondure III ust be
had, let 1t be ne made Of natural climb
ers and twiners, so US to partly but not
wholly conceal properly and simply
formed structure of iron or wood. In
this way there would be no incongru-
Gus distortion and obvious unfltness Of
material to intended purpose. We
have seen ut flower shows ill-dircctcd
attempts to build temples Of roses, and
sometimes they have boon made into
the shapes of human beings, cagles,
flags, etc. Tho mind at once rcvolts at
the sight Of solid and massive struc-
lures attempted with so fragile and
delicate materials as flowers. Nearly
as unfit Is the attempt to build solid
gateway arches of delicate foliage.
Thcre is another practice, much less
objcc -ionable, but still carried too far
the abundant planting of weeping
troes. These are mostly unnatural to
some extent, and if employed at all,
the most graceful should be selected,
and sparlngly introduced. They some
times, assist in tho variety Of II sky out
line. Many Of them came in the first
place from an unnatural twist of Il
branch, propagatcd and continued by
grating. Wearc glad to witness every
attempt at improving and ornamonting
tho grounds which surrounds home,
even If these attempts may deviatc con-
sidcrably from the rules Of criticism :;
but most pleasing Of all arc neat, fin
ishcd, and tastcful]y planted grounds,
with as much OF natural and graceful
beauty rs can be brought together with
so much simplicity that no display of
oddity or twisted conceit cun find n
place. Purity and fitness should he
obvious, and if much care and skill
havo been used in the management and
keeping they should not be seen by tho
eye Of the spectator.

AqRICULTURE.

GROWING 1T we look
through our markets and soc the chunky
stuff sold for horse radish, it Is clear
that not one In a hundred knows how to
grow It. Horse-radish well grown Is
as profitable as any garden crop, but
we think there is not much profit iii the
scrubby stuff referred to. 10 have
good horse-radish, a rather heavy soil
should be chosen, but by no means
wet, though one which gardeners would
call damp and cool will be by no means
objected to. 1t cannot very well be
made too rich. and If subsoiling the
ground Is to,tind favor 1t will surely be
In favor with this Drop. Now the OBJ
ject In raising good horse-radlsh is to
have long. clean, straight roots, and
good culture is to get these. In raising
horso-radish every piece Of the root
what Il little Of the crown grows. Cen
orally pieces al inch or SO long are set
just beneath the soil, aud one or more
buds start up to make crowns with
leaves, and others 20 down to make q
root Or roots. These are then forky or
twisted and give the wretched roots we
see. The proper way Is to make holes
with dibDlc, postspade or crowbar so
rs to let the small pieces which arc to
| make plants go down Il foot or more.
Then fill in the holes and wait. The
result Ia thas In a couple of months a
| sprout will start upwards to the sur
lace, and this sprout in time becomes
the straight, cit al root we have spoken
| about. The second season after plant
| ing they Will be III marketable conui-
tion, and should be all takon up and

tatiol made In like manner on tho same
ground. From the pieces lot in the
gro md by the digging of the old roots
many VIII come up, and the SO arc gem
| orally relied Oh to'form the succeeding y
crops but these sprouts should be hoed
| of as they como and DO regarded as
| nothing but weeds, which everything
that comes up whc,e it is not wanted Is.
In setting out, tho lows must be made
about Eighteen or twenty inches apart,
and tho pie;es to form roots be planted
| about four or six Inches apart. The
distance, however, between tho row Is
to be regulated by the method OF cul-
ture. Where the plow is used to clear
up between the rows they must be
wider than when grown rs garden
crop. Tho richness Of tho ground will
also regulate the distance to put tho sets
apart. If these slmplc hints are
followed, one need never be without a
goou relish for fish, roast beef, or any
or the multitudInous dishes where a
little pugcncy Is not to be dcspiscd.
But how few persons follow them,
