Culture of the GooseherrY.

The usual mode of propagation IS
from cuttings similarly to the currant,
grapevine, or any other plant. Plant
bushes of one years growth, in either
spring or fall, in well-prepared, deep
soil, free from water, four and a half feet
each way. Allow only one shoot to
grow the first season. The second year
several shoots will spring up, but it is
better not to leave over four or five to
grow, suppressing all others. Train up
ward. When side shoots appear, keep
them cut back to four or five inches; if
they still continue to grow, pinch back
to q single leaf this new growth. The
next spring cut back the side branches
to the first pinching; all laterals are
treated in the same way. Allow the
main stems or framework to prolong
themselves undisturbed while the side
branches are kept short in the manner
above indicated, in order to keep the
bushes open and free to admit light and
air. The gooseberry is very subject to
culture is essential. AS remedy for
mildew use the following: Take one
quart of hardwood ashes put them in
a vessel holding five gallons; pour three
gallons of boiling water over them and
stir a few moments; then fill the vessel
with cold water; use as hot as the hand
can bear without scalding. Throw the
hot liquid forcibly into the bush with
garden syringe, drenching every leaf,
both upper and lower side; early in the
morning, while the dew is yet on, is the
hest time to do this. Commence when
the fruit is first formed and continue
from time to time us signs of mildew
appear. The ground should be kept
clear of weeds and well cultivated, and
after coming into bearing be well

Best Time for C1ttinp Crafts.

In several publications we notice that
the cutting of gratis in the Fall ''or be-
fore the sharp cold of Winter Injuries
their vitality highly recommended.
Directions are thus given how they are
to be preserved through the Winter;
''They may be packed away in boxes of
fine damp moss, damp sawdust, or bu-
ried in the earth or sand" There is n
great deal more added which we do not
think worth while to quote. This mode
may be Il very good one, but we have
never tried it and just now do not seem
in the mood not to do so. We have
been successful. We never cut our
gratis before February, and if the
ground is not frozen stick them i'm ut
the foot of the tree, then the variety is
known without labelling. If the ground
is frozen they are tied up, the bunch
labeled and buried in the ground under
a shed or in a rather dry place. We
have set seventy of these gratis (pears)
ut one time and every one of them grew.
Once on 4 time we employeda professed
CRATER, who brought his own scions
(cherries) and set thiriy-two for us,
every one of which died. The follow
ing Spring we thought to try our own
hand at it, and set sixteen (cherries) on
the same tree which has been fifteen
years planted, the gratis cut as usual
in February, and eleven of them grew.
This we thought was doing pretty we'll
with cherries. If the gratis are care
fully preserved and properly set. it
makes no difference whether cut in Fall
or Spring. Cherry gratis, however.
should be always cut before the buds
show any sign of swelling. - German

There has been a congress of aurists
in Italy. at which q Heidelberg profess
sor said that experience had convinced
him of the Importance of examining the
organs of hearing of engineers and fire
men on locomotives, both before ap-
pointing them and every two years or so
while in service. The sense of hearing
becomes impaired from various causes,
and often without the knowledge of the
person suffering from it. Defects in
this case are not less dangerous than
color blindness, and sometimes more
difficult to discover.
