All Fools Day,

II is singular how customs, even silly ones,
travel from country to country. Thus we find
.sAll Fools DAY." the observance of which is very
ancient, distinguished in many countries as the
proper day for playing tricks ON the unsusprcting.
When the esrly Christians arrived in England.
they found day observed there called Fosisn,
Fafaorum or Fool's Holiday, from which, doubt
less our All Fools Day originated.
Ii was owing TO the custom of playing tricks
on this day that two prisoners, Francis. Duke of
Lorraine. and his wife, escaped from their cap
tivity in Nantes. The Dixie. disguised as a peas
ant. carried n hod, and his wife basket filled
with rubbish on her back. As they passed through
the gates of the city woman recognized them,
aud gave the alarm to the guard. april fool.
was the only response that she received, cry
taken up by all the other soldiers. The COVER
nor TO whom the story had been told, suspected
that the woman was right, and on investigating
the matter, he found the birds had flown, and
were too far to be captured.
In some places those on whom tricks are played
are designated s.gouks;" '.gouk" means q
cuckoo, that bird being supposed to be very
simple.

Beets for the Garden.

Those who only know the long late BLOOD
Beet" have yet TO learn the difference in beets
As soon as any part of the garden can be worked
a sowing of early beets should he made. Select
light soil if possible, and manure it WE'LL make
the rows foot apart, SOW the seed thickly, at
least . inches deep, and press down the soil firm
ly with light roller, pat it down with the
hoe The earliest varieties are the Egyptian"
and BLOOD Turnip." The "Bassano" is not
quite so early, or so fine grained, though good.
The thick sowing is advised in order TO have
plenty of young beets at thinning; when two or
three inches high, thin to to inches in the
row, saving those that pnlled out to be used
green's Many people prefer them even to
spinach, Ii is well to SOW seed for Il succession,
once IN two weeks up to July. Tue BLOOD Tur-
nip" is so much superior TO any of the large
beets, that we prefer it for winter Use. For this
purpose the seed should not be sown before the
middle of June, else they grow stringy.-I6.

Don't Neglect the Garden.

No part of the farm pays better than the land
devoted TO the garden, yet on no part is the
work more srudgingly given. Often it will be
true economy 10 have or two less of
that would have been given to these upon the
garden. When farmers learn that a constant
diet of corncd beef and cabbage, varied by pork
and beans-both excellent in their way-can be
easily varied by many other, and not more cost
IL forms of food, we shall hear less of the ques
tiou: .'How to keep boys On the farmf 7" and in
other forms of food, include an ample supply
of fruits See last month for suggestions on the
Kitchen Garden, and the Fruit Garden; the
hints under both heads (page 93) are generally
timely this month. We call special attention to
the distinction between hardy and tender plants
there given under '.ktehen and Market Gar
den," an observance under this classification
may be of service to the iueNpenenced.-B.

Take Good Care of the Horses.

If at work, they need a regular allowance OF
grain. If worked hard, ten quarts of ground
corn aud oats mixed will not be too much The
hay may be cut and moistenrd, and the feed mix
ed with it. Such ration is not over bulky,
aud contains sufficient uourisnment TO keep a
working horse in good trim. At this season the
coat begins to loosen and the skin is irritable.
When much so, it may be corrected by giving
daily, for week, an ounce of equal parts of sul.
phur and cream of tartar. Good grooming with
soft brush and blunt curry comb is decidedly
useful Everything about the stable should be
kept neat and clean, as the warm weather ap-
proaches. Turn brood mares loose into box
stall as foaling time approaches They should
receive gentle Treatment, this is likely to in
thence the disposition of the eolt.-Tb.
