window had been opened, q ter which

The doctor evaporated n~aphthaline BY
the bedside of the boy, who felt much

morning the cough was much better.

HELPFUL HINTS FOB BERRY GROWERS.

In setting out new beds of raspberries
or blackberries cut back the ane to
about six inches above the surface of the
soil. Throw all the strength in the plant
and get a good sturdy cane this season
for next years fruiting, Plant as early
in the season as possible, while plants
are dormant.
When setting strawberries in spring
cut back the roots one-third vita a sharp
knife; this starts a new fbrous growth
quickly. Let the soil be rich and
deep.
When strawberry plants are received
and it is not convenient to plant at once,
let them remain in their packing of moss
out under a tree or shady place in the
light.
Current cuttings ought to be set so
that the top bud of the cutting is on a
level with the surface ofthe ground.
Prune bearing currant bushes, cutting
back last years growth. The fruit is
borne on wood of two years old and
more, and the cutting back develops the
lower buds and causes larger fruit. Re-
move all old, unproductive wood and
thin out SO as to admit light and air
freely into the centre of the BUSH
Orchard and Garden.

RosEBuG BAIT.

The object in planting spir@as in the
vineyard or garden where ~grapevines are
growing is for the purpose of attracting
the rosebug or rose beetle. This insect,
as is well known, is very fond of the
flowers of the grape and will soon de-
stroy them, and thereby cut off the crop
of fruit; but they are also very fond of
and seem to prefer the flowers of certain
species of the spiraa. They will usually
desert the grapes, and cluster upon the
spir@as if afforded an opportunity, and,
as these shrubs and herbaceous plants
cost little or nothing, we may use them
freely as bug traps or bait, and from
which the insects may be shaken daily
into hot water or a little kerosene and
water. The two best species of the
spiea fol- this purpose are the Sorbus-
leaved, a hardy, early-bloomlng shrub
from Siberia, and the Goats-beard, a
native vigorous growing herbaceous
species. There are also several Japan
species, with fine white flowers, and
blooming at the same season as the grape
that may also be employed for the same
purpose, but the two we have named
seem to answer every purpose.

the hoe, whiie many Of the gardens are
SO planted as to admit of no other means
OF cultivation. In the hands of many
the hoe is not the best cultivator. it does
not have the desired effect of ~loosening
the soil, and is often good only in finish
ing up after the pillow. For many plants
the soil needs to be deeply and thor
oughly dug. Frequent stirring prevents
a crust forming, which is so detrimental
to plant growth, it shutting out the air
rom the roots. When too much de-
''endence is laid upon the hoe a great
cal of neglect will naturally result.
seweeds get a start, the ground be
comes baked, and in a very brief period
the crop Is put beyond recovery, and the
yield greatly lessened. This taking a
rainy day to stmind in" a garden will
result unsatisfactory. Soil worked ovei
at such a time becomes baked in clods
and unfit for seeds, or the tender roots
of plants. Too wet to pillow corn, means
too wet to stir the garden. 81
Plants that have been groien in a hot
bed should be transplantel, in rows in
the open air. before being set out, and
given protection from the sun and drying
winds until they become well established.
By this method of management they
grow more stocky, and make healthier
and larger growth in the garden.
For most vegetables the long row sys.
tenn will be found best. Tomato plants
ought to have a distance between rows
of about thr u feet and a half, and two
feet and a half in the row. Some might
think the distance too great, but with
the large varieties, such as the Acme,
Trophy and Livingston, the ground will
be pretty thoroughly covered at the
time of maturity. With plenty of room
it is possible to secure large, well-ripened
fruit.
Cabbage needs less room. Rows two
and one-half feet apart in the row for
large varieties will be found a satisfac-
tory distance.
All plants of the garden should be 50
put out as to make horse cultivation IN
part, at least, available.
The value of potting plants to secure
a good set of roots, cannot be overestl-
mated. All who have tried it regard
the plan most favoFIrSIy. Plants put in
pots should not be ssft too long, for in
that case the roots Become cramped, and
that is a detriment rather than an aid to
its growth.-American Farmer.

A PLrrN ORCHARD.

No doubt a plum orchard will be a
profitable investment if it is taken care
of as it should be. The trees are set
eighteen feet apart, and some good kinds
are the Lombard, Green Gage, Yellow
Egg, German Prune, Damson, and JEFF
ferson, with some others of local reputa-
ton. Wood ashes or lime is an excel
lent fertilizer, and to prevent damage
from the only dangerous insect enemy,
the c%urculio, which is such a persistent
enemy of the plum that it is almost i'm
possible to grow this fuit unless the

trees to the best advantage; d to hold
the tree aud work the soil in among the
roots with the fingers and the other to
