Begonias.--Tuberous begonias are very
beautiful plants and should be more gener-
ally cultivated than they have been. At
one time IL was thought they would do
vgoll when bedded out, but the sun is too
hot in this country to allow of their use In
that manner. except In some shady and
well protected place. But as a summer
blooming pot plant there Is none more de-
sirable than the tuberous begonia. The
tubers can be started any time from Feb
ruary 10 May, but the earlier the better. A
light soil Is best. or one consisting Of equal

A correspondent of the Gardeners
Chronicle notices the value of wood ashes
as manure for different purposes, and
among other statements made are these:
Ornamental foliage stove plants are es-
pecially benefited by wood-ashes being
mixed in the potting-compost, no material
that / have used giving a better color to
the foliage. 1 have grown Crotons, Ora
caenas, Palms, Marantas, etc, with and
without wood-ashes, and the contrast be-
tween those which received wood-ashes
and those which did not was almost in
credible Eucharis grows luXuriantly if
wood ashes be mixed with the potting
compost; chrysanthemums, roses, carna-
tions, vines and tomatoes, are especially
benefited by frequent top-dressings of
wood-ashes. One benefit deriv-
ed from wood-ashes when mixed with
potting mixtures is the length of time
during which the soil remains sweet; and
if toward the end of the growing period a
little of the surface soil be removed, and
a sprinkling of wood-ashes, together with
suitable soil afforded the plant the vigor
of the plants will remain unchanged for
a considerable length of time.

The above statement is taken from the
American Corn and Hog Journal. The
nutrition of an artichoke is in the form
of sugar in solution, therefore, always
ready for use with very, little internal
preparation on the part of the eater. They
are highly important because no insect
blight or rust has yet struck them and
the tops make a fodder superior to corn

ing the fall and winter months. The
improved variety, is very easy to be Grad

is to keep the hogs in the patch a little

is the Improved White French. They
grow to be about six feet high and in the
fall are covered with a yellow blossom
They grow very compact in the ground,
making itIvery easy for digging, and often
yield as high as 800 bushels per acre. Low

and many other crops, is fine land for the

Need Of Pnre Food LAWS.

The agitation of pure food regula-
lions is one Of the most important
things now before the American peo-
pie, says Northwest Horticulturist
Adulteration is carried on to such an
extent that it is almost impossible to
procure pure articles for daily use, and
as a natural consequence unadulterat-
ed products cannot be sold IN compe-
tition with the less expensive frauds.
Because Of the adulterated articles sold
as canned and preserved goods, jam
ming establishments will not pay. The
raspberry, blackberry and strawberry
jam of commerce are greatly adulter-
ated and sold at prices which drive the
pure jams off the market. Fruit grow
ers and consumers are both injured.
The former find no canneries operat-
ing to buy his fruit, and the latter II
buying jams and jellies at all find Them
Of uncertain values. State horticIl-
tural societies should take up The agi-
tation of pure food measures and unite
on some bill proposed for a national
pure food law, and have it pusaed
through as speedily as possible.

Small Farms in che south.

The increase in the number of small
farms is attracting attention all over
the South. The Harrison County Ban
uer, country weekly published in
Mississippi. has been impressed with
Indications Of this tendency in that
state and with its advantages to the
people. 1t says that the fertility Of the
soil Is so great that man having from
ten to forty acres can raise on less
than half of his land all that his fam
lily and stock require, and can put the
remainder into cane, the proceeds Of
which will be surplus. The old plan
tation mode was to raise only one crop,
and with the cash obtained from the
sale of that to buy corn, oats, hay and
meat. No one should wonder that un-
der the operation of this system the
mortgage upon a plantation increased
nom year to year. The Harrison coun-
~ editor holds that these large places
must be cut into smaller ones and sold
to thrifty farmers before full prosper
ity can return to the South. He states
the ruling prices for land in the South
are now such that Northern farmer
with his land mortgaged for half or
two-thirds Of this value can sell his
equity for enough to buy and fully pay
for the same number of acres Of equal
ly fertile land in the South.

The Strawberry Weevll.-ln some
sections Of the country this little pest
is doing a great deal of damage. 1t is
not hard ene.ny 20 conquer when one
knows the remedies to use, but 1t must
not be treated like weeVil on plums,
as the fl hit is so soft and rlpens so
early that 1t Is not safe to use arsen-
lcal poisons. The weevil is a very
small black beetle, not more than a
tenth Of an inch in length, and can
be found in great numbers on the bios
som stems of the plants; they pune
ture the stems just below the bud or
blossom, thus causing it to wither and
fall off. The bellebore mixture used
for currant worms will also prove eff
caclous for these insects. A mixture Of
one ounce of white hellebore in three
gallons Of water will be the right
strength for this use. Glue is often
added to cause the liquid to remain
on the foliage longer, one ounce be-
ing allowed for each ounce of helle-
bore. The hellebore mixture being so
easy to prepare, is oftener used, but
either remedy will prove a sure cure.
