The success of a garden depends much
on its early preparation and planting in
spring. Crops which do not need putting
in till warm weather arrives. are greatly
benefited by the thorough preparation and
the pulverizing and enriching the soil. 1t
is well, therefore, to apply in winter all
the manure which may be wanted. Pull
verified by frost, and leached into the soil
by rains and melting SHOWS, it will be
worth more than if spread in Jumps after
spring opens and Is imperfectly inter-
mixed. All new gardens for vegetables
should be arranged for horse-cultivatiOn,
by extending the plants in drills across it
from end to end. This will greatly reduce
the labor of keeping it clean, and the few
minutes required to cultivate it once a
week will be trifing compared with long
and labOrious hand-labor. The crops will
grow vigorously by keeping the soil con-
stantly mellow and clean by the frequent
passing of the narrow one-horse harrow
or cultiyatOr. Gardens which are already
laid out may be modified by re-arrange-
ment, so that much, if not most, may be
subjected to horse-cultivatiOn and the
amount of hand-hOeing materially les
sened. There are many crops which are
commonly planted in beds and kept clean,
if at all, with hand labor, which may be
arranged in drills for this purpose.

Farmers too often allow the garden to
take the last chance and to remain neg
lected till the field crops have had full at
tention. AS a consequence, weeds get the
start; vegetables are crowded vita weeds,
the labor of hoeing is greatly increased,
and the owner concludes that a garden is
a costly luxury which does not pay. But
if well managed, it will pay better than
anything else. Raspberries, strawber-
ries, currants. asparagus, cabbages,
beets, turnips, etc, may all be planted in
rows and cultivated with a horse, and in
this way an acre need not cost more for
cultivating than an acre of field potatoes
or corn. Even on rich half acre the
family may have strawberries for month
in abundance, to be followed with an
equal supply of raspberries and of cur
rants. Peas, beans, asparagus, beets,
spinach, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, pars-
nips and many other vegetables, in their
various periods, may be all grown in
abundance and will prove of more value
in supplying a family with comforts, lux
uries and subsistence, than any equal
area elsewhere. The great requirement
for success is the easy and thorough cul-
tiVatiOn above described

CANCER.

The experience in the treatment of Cancer

warrant us in saying that it will cure this
much dreaded scOurge. Persons so afflicted
are invited to correspond with us.

body and my arms from the poisonous effects
OF large cancer on my neck, from which /

relieved me OF all soreness. and the poison is
being forced out of my system. l win soon be
well. W. Il. robson, DavisbOrO, Ga.
Two months ago my attention was called to
the case OF a woman afflicted with a cancer
on her shoulder at least five inches in circum-
ference, angry, painful, and giving the pa
tlent no rest day or night for six months. /

She has taken five bottles, and the ulcer IS en-
trely healed up, only very small scab re-
naming and her health is better than for five
years past; seems to be perfectly cured

Of Swifts Specicific on a cancer. Young
man near here has been afflicted five
years with the most angry looking eating

first bottle made a wonderful change. and
after five bottles were taken, he is nearly or
quite well. 1t is truly wonderful.

whispered, shat Mr.. Fearne, my cousin,

larly to see you"
"Did Lucindy have the boldness to ask

"Well! well! l sometimes think you
are certainly the strangest-but, | sup
pose, had better see him, Annie-a sort
of family connection, you know"
Il surely would mother" she answer
ed, with a kindly look at Charlie.
Every we'll. Charlie, just hand me a
black-bordered handkerchief from the
drawer, and put little eau de cologne
on it; and, let me see! l believe | must

the window, and what would people think
of young widow without one. Come
along, Charlie; you will have to introduce
me; don't think | know your cousin"
They went below and Mrs. Beltham was
formally presented. This lady had evil
IDENTIFY gotten herself up for the OCCASION
She looked sad and subdued, and her
voice, usually rather the opposite of SOFT
was so low as to be only Just audible. If
she only could have known what waste
of pain all this was; how utterly lost it
was upon her listener; or with what keen
ridicule he heard her, she would have
dropped her sombre get-up much more
quickly than she had assumed it.
Il am glad to see you," she murmured,
Every glad; can easily recall your face
and voice, though you, like the rest OF us,
have changed somewhat. This is a sad
house, sir, sad house; but, even now,
we have a welcome for dear Charities
kinsman."
"Thanksr' he said. 81 came as
Charles kinsman to inquire after you all.
Mrs. Barrett particularly, and to ask, as
a great kindness, that you will allow me
to take this young cousin of mine to see
my father, who is not well enough to come

MY daughter is, suppose, as well as
l could expect her to be after her recent
and terrible trouble, but she is very
broken and sad. Under ordinary circum-

Wood Ashes for Orchards.

For orchards, says DIR. r. C. Kedzie,
in the NeU York Tribune, | regard ashes
as worth more than six times the value
of barnyard manure, ton for ton. When
barnyard manure is composted with
wood ashes, the coarse vegetable mate
rial and litter are rapidly broken down,
and the manure Is speedily fitted for use !;
there is some loss of nitrogen in the form
of ammonia, but there will be no loss OF
mineral matter if kept from teaching by
water.
Wood ashes represent all the mineral
elements of vegetable growth, and con-
tain everything the farmer must give his
crops except combined nitrogen Wood
ashes will vary in composition and value
with the kind of wood and the part of the
tree. | will take the ash of the body
wood of the beech-tree as representing
the average of wood ashes. \ ton OF
such ashes contains 32O pounds OF pot
ash, worth $40, and los pounds of phos-
phoric acid (insoluble), worth $5.25
Omitting all the other ash constituents
which have some value of themselves
the potash, and phosphoric acid of a tor
of such ashes are worth $21.25, or nearly
six times the value of ton of fresl
horse dung.

Fertilizer for Cabbage.

Il find" says q writer in the Nrw
Etgldnd Homestead, "that cabbage needs
more hoeing and stirring OF the soil than
almost any other crop. Neither do
approve Of too much stable manure, ex-
cept Tor an early crop, for it has a ten
dency to dry the soil and does not fur
nish potash enough. had much rather
have tobacco stems or stalks, cut up fine
and plowed under broadcast, with some
chemicals in the drill, for a medium or
late crop. As to chemicals, whether to be
used alone or in combination with other
manures, | recommend this formula as
being best and cheapest, which every
farmer must make for himself: Two
hundred pounds of dry ground fish, 200
pounds of bone meal dissolved in sui
phuric acid, 200 pounds of castor POM
ace and 100 pounds of muriate potash,
or more il the potash salts (kainit) are
used. The fish and castor pomace fur
nish ammonia in quick and Slow forms !;
the bone, phosphoric acid; while the
potash is very necessary to a cabbage
crop. A ton of this mixture costs about
$40, and is sufficient for an acre with
light manuring, or half the quantity if
manure is used literally. This is the
best cabbage grower have found. With
it and tobacco stalks, as described, l
raised cabbages that weighed over TWEEN
ty pounds. One dozen, as they were
taken to market, weighed over 200
pounds

Money in Sunaowers.

Much has been written during the
past few years about the value OF sun
flower seed for feeding tofowls and sheep
The feeding to horses has also been ia
Vorablv noticed. A correspondent calls
attention to the value OF the seed foi
making oil. In this communication lie
writes Care should be exercised in Sc
lecting slnilower seeds, as there is a
very great difference i'll the number of
flowers, and consequently in the num-
Der of seeds produced, at least 50 have
proved in my own garden, some varle-
ties ranging from one to three flowers,
while others will produce as many as
fifty, sixty and seventy flowers on one
stalk When the object is to provide
feed for cattle and fowl, the last variety
mentioned will doubtless be found the
best paying; when the purpose is to Sc
cure oil, only the best oil seed variety
should be selected; and, as | have not
experimental in this line for oil,
am at loss which variety to recommend.
Experienced farmers and gardeners al
ready know that the plant will readily
grow in almost any soil, but prefers light,
ealcareous land, unshaded in every re-
spect The quantity of seed required
for an acre is from four to six pounds.
In some cases the seed is drilled into
lines eighteen iuches apart, and the
plants are subsequently thinned out to
thirty inches apart in rows, thus giving
about eleven thousand plants to an acre,
and each plant produces about one
thousand seeds-the better sorts would
probably produce many more. In Eng
land it is recommended that the sun
flower be earthed up when about one
foot high, but it will require no further
attention 1t is said the WELD is much
increased by the use of a fertilizer, and
old mortar is regarded as one of the best.
The sunfower has long been grown for
its oil seeds in India and Russia; more
recently its cultivation has been taken
uD in Italy and Germany. In China and
Tartary it is produced in immense guam
titles, and why not equal quantities, a
sheap feed for cattle and in heneries. il

Keeping Eggs.

When an egg stands in one position the
Yolk gets down against the shell, and il
there is any evaporation it soon either
adheres to the SHE'LL or becomes little
tainted. Eggs may be creased and
packed in oats or barley headed up tight,
kept cool and dry and rolled or inverted,
or both, every few days. Thus they will
keep, and when wanted for market they
must be rolled in bran or meal to get
the grease off, and perhaps dipped in
ilhe water will give them fresh look.
low long they may keep thus we do not
know, but several months at least. Eggs
Wiii keep in lime water but it is difficult
TO turn or roll the barrels and so the yolll
gets against the shell, and besides the
shell looks very chalky and their sale is
hurt The best way is probably, to pack
the fresh eggs in barrel with meal or
bran, setting them on end, using no
grease nor the meal absorbs it and turns
rancid. Head up the barrel and invert
once week, and keep in acool dry place.

vegetables for exhibition at New Orleans.
| hereby submit the following recipe,
which has been successfully used by Prof.
Dabney, of North Carolina, and Hon.
III. j. McWirter, of Tennessee, and they
assure me that fruits and vegetables put
up by this recipe will keep for years. |
request that exhibitors prepare their
fruits and vegetables by the recipe as
given below:
l. For preserving strawberries rasp-
berries, blackbersies, currants, goose
berries, plums, and cherries when
thoughly ripe-use proof alcohol.

currents and gooseberries when not
thoroughly ripe-use one part water and
two parts proof alcohol.
5. After the fruit stands in the alcohol
three or four days, pour off and add fresh
alcohol as above directed, until all the
coloring matter has been extracted.
Then put the specimens for permanent
use in one part alcohol and one part clear
water.
+: The proportions Tor peaches, apples
and pears will answer for all kinds of
vegetables.
). Alcohol once used and discolored
can be filtered and used on other fruits
or vegetables, or for permanent speci-
mems. Yours truly,
