The Farmers Garden.

We trust that the number of those
farmers who earnestly strive to produce
for their families those vegetable prod
ucts, including fruits, that do so much
TO add to the pleasures of living in the
country, are increasing every year and
that farmers -egard such provision for
their families as a serious duty not to
be omitted for trifling causes. A table
furnished with good, light, homemade
wheaton bread, clean, fine-favored but.

and dessert of such choice fruits as the
farmers garden can be made to produce
in this latitude, is good enough for an
ep!cure and is qualified to sustain, re-
pair, nourish strong, healthful body,

Those who find it di fcult to obtain
manure for their hot bed, can in various
ways obtain the heat by hot water. For
example, they can erect their beds per-
manently with brick sides, aud have
them in allrespects the same as miniature
greenhouses.
The following is the simplest method
we know OF, and any ingenious work
man can put it together. 1t is the
method used by Milwaukee amateur,
as given by a correspondent of ihe
american FLor,s':
''The bed is situated about thirty feet
north of the house, aud is forty feet long
by four in width; the basement of this
house is heated by q coal stove. For
this stove he made 4 small coil of gas
pipe, which he can put in or take out as
easily as he would tea kettle. From
this coil he ran two-lnch pipes under the
ground, well covered, to the hot bed,
and then branched each pipe into two,
running them the whole length of the
bed, and connected them at the upper
end, where he placed an expansion tank,
consisting of common wooden pail.
1t is simply perfect hot water system
on small scale, consisting of two flows
and two return pipes, all one inch.
These pipes are all sunk one foot deep.
In the fall the sashes were put on, and
then it was left to freeze, the pipes, of
sourse, being empty. On the first of
March he made connections, and started
firing, and though the frost was four
feet deep, in four days the bed was ready
for the seed. The result was that Mr..
G. had a crop of early vegetables that
could not easily be beaten.-NeO York

The Empress Dowager, who, notwith-
standing the boy Emperor has assembled
the throne, still remains Empress Regent,
Is one OF the most remarkable women in
Chinese history, writes Frank q. Carpen-
ter. She has ruled China for twenty five
years, and she became Impress Regent
in connection with the Eastern Empress
in 1861, when the Emperor Heu Feng
died, leaving two wives. The Eastern
Empress died six years ago, and there
was at this time q great excitement in
Peking because it was thought that the
Western Empress, or this noted Lay,
who was the real ruler of China, was
sick. The most noted doctors of China
were called to court. Their medicines
availed nothing, and they visited DR..
Dudgeon, an eminent Scottish practi.
toner of Peking, and asked him for
some medicine and advice. DR.. Dudgeon
replied that il the Empress wanted his
services she could call him in, but that
he did not intend to risk advice and
medicine at second hand. The result
was that the astern Empress died and
the present Empress owager ruled.
During the last sickness of the Empress
she could for a long time take only milk,
and il took sixty wet nurses to keep her
alive. The present Empress Regent is
now over fifty, and she is said to he well
formed and dignifcd. She combs her
hair l am told, in the butter fly fashion
common to the Manchus, having horns
six inches long at the back of her head,
and she fastcns it with n gold harpin.
She is rather Independent in thought
md does as she pleases, regardless of
Chinese etiquette. She is said TO prac
tce ar, hery inside the wall of the pal
ace, and she is sreportcd as having taken
lessons in boxing from an old ounuch.
Minister DENLY tells me that she studies
and understands all sub Gets committed
to her, and that she is very industrious.
lie thinks she will go down to history as
one of the great rulers of the world, and
says that through her China has attained
ITS present high position among the ma
tions.

Making n Dog Fricndlr.

A milkman who has an extensive route
in large town in New Jersey is re-
sponsiblc for the following method OF
making friends with cross dogs, which
II thought of sufficient interest you may
publish as it was told to me. His de-
livery begins in winter long before day
light and great many of his customers
keep one or more dogs, and yet he goes
into their yards and to their back doors
at times when all in the house are asleep.
without interference by the dogs or their
making any disturbance. On going to
a new place for the first time where a
dog is kept on the premises, if he comes
toward him in an unfriendly way he
simply throws about pint of milk at
his head, spattering it over him, and
that settles the business. The dog stops
at once and begins to lick the milk oil
him, and is always friendly afterward
and never needs second dose. OF
course it don't affect the conduct of a
dog toward people other than the one
who throws the milk in his face, and he
don't know how it would operate if
tried by Others, but in his own case he
has tried it sc often he knows it to be a
sure thing. Yrs Word.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Mineral Manures Cor rotntoe

mfneral Manures for Potatoes,
The ash Of potatoes constitutes only a
very small proportion Of the whole bulk
Of the tuber, but its constituents are
very suggestive to the farmer. Fifty.
nine per cent, or nearly three-ffihs, are
potash. A trihe less than one-fifth Of
the ash is phosphoric acid, and about
six per cent, or one-siNteenth, IS sui
phuric acid. Common wood ashes fur
nish the potash, and are among the best
manures for the potato. Phosphate is
furnished by bone fertilizers and sulphur
by plaster of paris or gypsum. The
usefulness of all these for potatoes has
been shown on soils where they or any OF
them are deficient. -Neo York Herald.
