The Garden and the Farm.

The contempt in which gardening are
held by many driving" farmers was
aptly expressed by fair representative
of that class in my hearing the other
day. says Fred Grundy in The Pactiea!
| Farmer.
.'Oh yes" said he, Il like garden
stuff well enough. and the old lady is
always whining for it / think it
makes very good change. but 1 grow
none. because I have no patience to
dig and paw round over q Bit Of
ground just for the sake of a few
radishes and peas. 1 grow potatoes
and sweet corn, because I can plant
them in the field. and do nearly all the
work with the team. I have fixed q
piece of ground two or three times.
and sowed garden seeds on II. but the
hens always managed to raise them q
little too previous for their health.
Jones put a fence round his garden
patch. and be has to dig every inch of
of it over with spade. but you don't
catch me undertaking about in that
manner. When l want to turn the
soil 1 do it with pillow. Show me how
to garden with plow and harrow and
keep the hens off after the stuff's in.
and I'll listen to YOU"
want to tell these rushing fellows
that it can be done. and how. Make
your garden long and narrow. Build
your fences along the sides of good
material and set them solid. Make
the fence at the ends movable and sup
port it with the common A brace in
stead of posts. The panels should be
light and strong. Lath crossed like
lattice work and nailed to two pine
boards four inches wide and twelve
feet long will make it. When the
garden is to. be MANFRED. plowed or
cultivated move the end panels out of
the way and drive straight through.
Plow deep. harrow fine and smooth
with broad plank. Do the job
thoroughly and you will have seed
bed good enough for anything. and
the soil will be easy to cultivate the
whole season. Set a row of currants
and gooseberries close along the in
side of the South fence 1--WE are pre-
suming the garden lies the longest
way East and West, and row of
blackcap raspberries along the North
fence. Four feet from the raspberries
set row of asparagus; four feet from
this two rows of Strawberries. three
feet apart; then plant your radish,
lettuce. peas, beans beets. etc. every
thing except corn and potatoes--in
rows far enough apart to admit your
steadiest horse and narrowest cultiva-
tor. Bat little hoeing will be requir-
ed, and in one season you will be con-
WINGED that you can garden as easily
as you can farm. The fruit and
vegetables will lessen the cost of Lying
fully third. Your doctor bills will
decrease, your health increase, and as
the years pass you will wonder how
you ever got along without a good
garden.

Novel Collection.

A Partisan genius is getting up a
museum in that city which will contain
probably the most unique collection
of curiosities ever gathered under sing
lie roof. His object is to obtain counter
felt presentments of all the supposed
supernatural beings that man has ever
worshiped. There will be in this
museum reproductions of the South Sea
Islanders. the images of the Japanese
and Egyptian gods the wooden divin-
tiles of Africa and Oceanica, the deit-
les OF China and India. of Greece, Italy
and Gaul the stone and craven mon
sters of Mexico and Peru, the google

of the North American Indian. and. in
fact every species OF divinity that art
can possibly represent Thus far his
task will be comparatively easy one.

Mrs. MARY CHAPMAN. the Young

Cold Water and clouds.

though It always is raining at some
place in the world. yet always and at
the same time it is pleasant somewhere
else. Now. let US see why this is.
Suppose that on summer afternoon
We were to bring pitcher Of clear.
cool water. fresh from the well, and
to place it on the table in the dining
room. Now. no matter how carefully
we may have dried the pitcher before
bringing it in. we shall discover. if we
watch closely. that the outside soon
becomes wet or misty; and that the
mist grows heavier and then gathers
into drops and perhaps even runs down
the pitcher to the table.
Now. where does this water come
fromp Not through the sides of the
pitcher. that is impossible; but from
the air. We can not see it. perhaps.
but still it is there. in the state of
vapor. How CAME it thereP Did you
ever notice. after q rain, how in a
short time the puddles become dry. and
the moisture disappeared from the
grass and leaves, as soon as the sun
shone out and the wind blewp Or, did
you ever notice that if you left pan

as vapor into the air-has 'evaporat-
ed" as we say. The same thing
happens when water boils. only it then
evaporates more rapidly, and we can
see the vapor arising as steam. If you
live near a river. or in a country where
there are brooks, perhaps you can see
this evaporation actually taking place.
Get up early some morning. before the
SUN rises. and look out towards the
river. You may see long line of mist
or fog. like big white cloud, hang
ing over the water. Now, this mist is
only the water evaporating from the
river and is just now visible as fog be-
cause the air is cool. After the sun has
shone. the air becomes warmed and
the fog disappears, but the evapora

Medicinal Qualities of Onions.
The free use of onions for the table
has always been considered by most
people healthy and desirable vege-
table, and but for the odor, which is
Objectionable to many. they would be
found more generally on our dining
tables.
For cold on the chest there is no
better specific, for most persons, than
well boiled or roasted onions. They
may not agree with every one. but to
persons with good digestion they will
not only be found to be a most excel
lent remedy for cough. and the clog
ging of the bronchial tubes which is
usually the cause of the cough. but if
eaten freely at the outset of a cold, they
will usually break up what promised,
from the severity of the attack, to have
been serious one.
A writer in one of our medical Jour-
mails recently recommended the giving
of young raw onions to children three
or four times week, and when they
get too large and strong to be eaten
raw, then boil and roast them, but not
abandon their free use.
Another writer. advocating their use
says: During unhealthy seasons. when
diptheria and like contagious diseases
prevail, onions ought to be eaten in the
spring of the year at least once week.
Onions are invigorating and prophylac-
tic beyond description. Further. I
challenge the medical fraternity or any
mother to point out a place where
children have died from diphtheria or
scaratina anginosa, ETC., where on ions
were freely used.-Scientifc Anaeri-
