BILE, but if Cameron should receive any consid-

manufacturer, strongly urged the Importance
of giving some protection to such valuable
property as cables A suggestion OF M. Coch-

soils, planted in hills six feet apart,
and we'll manured in the hill with
rotten manure. The Green Prolific
is usually grown for pickles. The
cucumbers are gathered, when from
two to three inches long, and by
picking them in this condition a
very large number are left in each
hill, and the ends of the vines
should be pinched in to encourage
side shoots, which bear most fruit.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman says: we have been
pestered with little red ants for 8
year, or two, in winter as well as
summer, and had tried everything
without doing any good. Raw
onions were recommended, which
7 think have succeed in banishing
them from closets, etc. We are
particular that the china shall be
perfectly dried, as the least mois-
ture seems to attract them.
