Currants and Gooseberries,

The currant is a very useful fruit, and
generally does not receive the respect
to which it is entitled. 1t is found in
most gardens, but in the majority is left
to itself-to live or die bear or be bar
rem. Not so, however, with those who
fully realize that it is really one of our
best and most useful fruits. 1t is
best propagated by cuttings ten or twelve
inches long, of the last seasons growth.
These cuttings should be cut just below
their union with the old wood, all the
buds from the portion put under ground,
and two, or perhaps three buds left
above the ground. Set about half the
cutting into the ground. The setting
should be lone in early spring. Have
be rich. Set a foot apart III the row, and
make the rows two feet apart. Trans
plant in the spring following in rows
wide enough apart to allow cultivation
with the plough, and the plants should
be three feet apart in the row. Keep
the three-year-old branches cut away.
Trim and shorten annually. Every half
dozen years the rows will need renew
ing.
The propagation of the gooseberry is
similar to that of the currant. BUTT re-
quires a deeper soil than the currant,
for it is a very gross feeder. Gregg rec
ommends a trench two feet deep, the
bottom to be coveredwith a heavy dress
ing of fresh stable The lows
should be five feet apart, and the plants
three feet apart in a row. Keep the
roots clear Of shoots, trim to a single
stem, from twelve to thirty inches high.
Keep the head we'll thinned out, 'sbut
do not cut off the ends of new Shoots"
The best remedy for mildew--the chief
difficulty with this:.plant-is high, open
culture, free manuring and a copious
mulching, says an authority. Sawdust
or spent tan bark is recommended for a
mulch, applied to a depth of from four
to six inches. Also hay, or other mater
ial. s%prinkled with salt is recommended,
Ashes sprinkled on when the dew is on
is said to have a good effect upon the
fruit to prevent mildew. There is one
alleged remedy, however, that is very
beneficial on the bush, even if it does
not do as much as is claimed to prevent
mildew, and that is frequent sprinkliug
with soap suds in the spring. A New
Jersey grower recommends the follow.
ing for mildew: Remove the dirt from
about the roots, thickly mulch with
sailed meadow hay, and then cover
again with earth.-Western Rural.

HOUSE AND FARM.
Farming Notes.

The Indiana farmer says that he
statute in reference to the sale of adul-
terated milk is violated in Indianapo-
lis not less than 500 times a day, and
that the fines, if collected, would amount
to $4,000 per day.
Dairymen say that a 10Y should be
capable of producing 200 pounds of but
ter annually, in order to be profitable.
1t is believed, no weyer, that the average
yield per annum Of mllct. COWS does not
exceed 100 pounds.
Where is the individual who has pass
ed any time in the country that does
not remember aunties' or grandmoth-
ers' Horehound tea when a sudden cold
has placed them on the sick list? This
plant is a perennial herb, with a strong
aromatic smell, and a bitter %pupgent
taste. 1t is a tonic, and is useful in as
thma; and a favorite remedy in pullno-
nary complaints, entering largely into
the composition %ofcoughs, syrups and loz-
engers. 1t will thrive in any soil, but is
stronger if grown on light, poor land.
Always let it be represented in the veg
etable garden.
Cotton-seed oil is largely used both
here and in Europe as a substitute for
lard, and it is steadily growing in favor
1t is estimated that our production of
lard is about LOCO, 900 tierces a year, and
that of cotton-seed oil 400, 900 ~tierces;
but only about one-ffth of the spare
seed is now pressed for oil, and, owing
to imperfect machinery, a large proper
ton Of the oil remains in the cake, SO
that with improved machinery, more
capital and greater enterprise in the
South at least 1000, 600 tierces of oil may
be produced at an early day.

New Guinea as an English Prov
ince, -

.E.H
New Guinea, which has been appro-
priated by the government of Queens
land, al a part ofthe British possessions,
is the fairest and most valuable island in
the South Pacific. The island has an
area more than four times that of Eng
land and Wales, Though its interior is
little known, the exploration of Signor
D'Albertis, 1877, extended along the
course Of the Fly river five hundred
miles to the center ofthe island, demon-
strated that the country is generally
rich and its vegetation luxuriant. Other
explorers describe the beauty and fer
tility of the eastern shores of New Gui-
nea as beyond praise, portions of them
being highly cultivated up to the noun
tain tops with, yams, cocoanuts, sugar
neal the equator, New Guinea has, like
Java-the most productive island in all
the tropical regions of the globe-moun-
tain systems ranging from 1000 to $4,000
feet high, on the plateaqs of which are
to be found climates cool enough for
Europeans. In stature and intellectual
powers the Papuans are said by some
authorities, to be fully equal if not SUI
perior to the Malays, and will more
readily adapt the arts of civilization. If
the British colonists in New Guinea i'm
itate the Dutch in Java in energy and
enterprise the time is not far distant
when the former will rival the latter
island in its commercial products and
an invaluable acquisition to the British
crown. Though the Dutch claim a con
siderabl portion of New Guinea, their
presence will not be likely to interfere
with British supremacy over this long
reputed Melanesian paradise.

Greatly Alarmed, she laid him back on
the grass, and ran to an adjoining field
and called some laborers. One of them
carried Frank to his home, while the
other went for a physician. Miss Stew
ems fastened on to inform his parents.
Upon examination is was found that
one arm was broken, and his head wal
badly bruised, beside the wound upon
the temple. He was unconscious for
some time after he got home, and, as
Mrs. Ayers was much affected by the &C
cident, Miss Stevens remained with her,
and 80 tho first face that met Franks
gaze on returning to consciousness was
his teachers, and, looking sadly at ner a
moment, his eyes filled with tears, which
he quickly brushed away, and, taking
his hand in hers, she SAID:
an very sorry for you, dear
Frank"
He gave her a grateful look, and then
chung nervouslv to her hand as the pain
full operation upon his arm began, his
mother being too much affected to stay
near him during it; and she cheered and
soothed him til it was through with, re-
manning with him until he fell into an
uneasy stupor, still holding her hand.
Frank awoke from that stupor tossing
in delirium from infiammatory action Of
the sensitive brain, and for two weeks
mischievoas Frank was very i'll. Every
spare from her duties as teachor was
spent with him, and nc other hand could
soothe him so we'll in his delirious mo.
nents as his faithful teacher. In these
moments he was continually lamenting
something he had done, and telling how
sorry he was.
The crisis passed, and he lay pale and
helpless for days, watching Miss Stevens
intently as she moved about caring for
him, till his eyes would fill with tears,
and he would put up his hand and hide
them; and one day Miss Stevens stood
beside him when this happened, and
she laid her hand upon his, and said:
What is it, Frank? Please tell me-"
I'll am SO sorry" he sobbed, as the
tears fell fast oye his wan cheeks.
She soothed him, and said:
"Yes, yes, dear Frank, l know you
are. and you must not worry any more
about it,"
"But, do you knowabout it? 1t might
have killed you!" he sobbed convulsive-
"Killed me? Oh, no, Frankw
"But the doctor said it might of killed
me, and you would have fallen heavier"
he moaned.
Alittle light dawned uponthe teachers
mind as she said:
why, what do you mean, Frank"
I'll put it there to trip you up, tn
day the boys laughed al me SO, but, oh,
l am SO sorry!' he moaaed again.
She soothed him, and assured him of
her forgiveness, and grief at his misfor-
tune.
Frank arose from that illness a new
creature: for. although the natural viva
with returning vigor. it found vent in
harmless mirth, INDUCED at the
expense of another; and he became, UNI
der the guidance of his own exertions,
the most loveable pupil, instead of the
worst boy, and TIE tyrant ofthe school,
as he had formerly been considered.

TheGarden.

Farmers often draw the line between
farm and garden work with too much
distinction. They work in the garden
when they can't work in the field, and
thus make the garden of secondary inn
portance, while, considering the value
to the family of fresh garden vegetables,
it should stand on an equality, at least'
with the farm. We do not advise fol-
lowing in the old rut of planting the
same vegetables in the same places
every year; rotation IS as necessary in
the garden as in the field, and we would
have more of the work done with horse
and c%ultlvator, as might be, if seeds
we're sown in rows AZ a proper distance
apart. In small gardens where the
should b arranged so that a hand cult
vator may take its place. A few flowers
in the garden make it very attractive.

An Unshod Horse.

The Bath (Me.) Times says: GA gem
tleman at the South End has a horse
which he has owned nine years and
never had a shoe on its foot. He thinks
the advantages are viz; that in damp
snow the horses hoof will not ball up
and he is sure of his footing. Second,
that the horse never calks himself in
deep SHOWS, wear out floors by
ing shoes that pinch the feet. He says
that itusuaily costs $40 a year to shoe a
family horse like his. so that in a tinan-
cial point Of view he saves $40 a year.
The horse was seen this morning and
was in good order; the hoofs were sharp
and tough and smooth. He says that al
though having been in use nine years,
he never yet met with an accident, not
| even so much as a stumble"
