Vag Xouraq. WEEDS IN GARDENS. Nothing reduces the current expenses of a family for the outlay more , than a well managed kitchen-garden ; but the general complaint with many is the labor of keeping it clean—the constant fight with weeds. Some are of opinion that a garden of a quarter of an acre in extent will grow more weeds than ten acres of farm land, and there is good ground for the belief accord' , ing to the way some are managed. A few weeds, allowed, to ripen their seeds, will produce an abundant crop next year; and thug, year after year, the earth becomes filled with them, till the soil of a garden consists of three main ingredients—namely, a soil naturally; a large amount of ma nure, artificially; and an immense supply of foul weeds, spontaneously, The question natuplly arises, is .it not practicable to clear out entirely and totally the last of the three ? Are weeds a neces sity? If a garden contains a hundred thousand of them, and ninety-nine thou sand are killed by a hoe, why not the re maining thousand? If nine hundred and ninety of this thousand, why not the re maining ten ? The soil of a garden may be completely purified of weeds and their seeds, greatly reducing the labor of keep ing it in order, and largely contributing to a fine growth of the, crops. It is much easier to keep a garden, perfectly clean than to be engaged in a constant warfare with the weeds. The . labor is far less. The reason that it is not done is the want of care and attention. Nearly all are satisfied if the garden is nearly clean. This is the origin of all the trouble—namely, leaving a few weeds to seed the whole ground. The remedy is,.begin now, eradicate everything that may have shown its head, ands'o con tinue the examination every week. One morning every week should be set apart for this special purpose. Unless something of this kind is adopted, the thing will certainly be neglected. And after they are out, con inue the process to keep them out. It is easier to spend half an hour in a morning once a week in this way,-and have good crops, than to spend three days in each "eek fighting the intruders, and, as .a con sequence, getting bad crops.— Scottish Far , ler.

He says :—" Take and make the small end bulky ig paper around it, making it [ek as a man's arm, and half as bind a black cloth around it, old woolen stocking over it,) it with a cord; then when the inning, as soon as they attempt t that end of the pole in the they are about lighting, and settle on it immediately; but persist in settling on a limb, or is, jar it, so as to disturb them, II leave it for the pole; then down and set the hive over aetimes, when fastened pretty firmly on the pole, it is expedient to shake it a little, to make them leave it for the hive. We have tried this plan for years, and have seldom failed in bringing them down." REMEDY FOR SCRATCHES. — In answer to the query for s remedy for scratches, I will give one which I have used for thirty-five years with complete success, having never failed in one instance :—Take white pine pitch, rosin, beeswax and honey, one ounce each, fresh lard, one-half pound, melt well together over a slow fire, then add one-half an ounce sulphate copper (verdigris) stir till it is quite thick, so the parts may not settle and separate. This makes an excel lent application for harness galls and cuts and sores of all kinds, on horses and cattle. Parnier. MINISTERIAL RECORD, MONTHLY. Anderson, James M., Pres. N.
