JJarm, #ar&n&swriuM' CURRANTS AN D THEIR ENEMIES. For some years we have endeavored to make the currant more popular, as we con sider it a most healthful aa well as easily raised fruit. That there arc obstacles to its culture we are aware, and so there are to that of all fruits, and whoever is not willing to take proper care of his currants does not deserve to have them. The most common insects injurious to the currant are the Borer and the Currant-worm. Both the America!) and the European Cur rant Borer trouble our plants, the one the larva of a beetle, and the other that of a moth, but as they are practically the same in their habits and effects, it is not necessary to speak of them separately. The larva lives upon the pith of the currant stem, and the insects come out from the dead stalks in their perfect state late in May or early in June. They lay their eggs upon the new shoots, and the young brood, when hatched, penetrate the stem and carry on their work of destruction. Where the bush is kept prop erly pruned DO very extensive damage usually results from the Borers, as the infested limbs are discovered and removed at pruning; these should be burned, for if thrown upon the brush-heap the perfect insectß will make their way out aud provide for a continuance of the trouble. The Currant-worm, which is the larva of an insect somewhat resembling tbe common fly, is the most destructive enemy of the cur rant. The worms or slugs are small, keep upon the under side of the leaf, aud the bush ' is often stripped of foliage before their pres ence is suspected. Tbe worms, when they attain their growth, enter the ground, under go their changes, and the flies appear to lay eggs for a new crop. Powdered White Hellebore dusted over the bushes destroys tbe worms at once. A light dusting from a dredging box is all that is needed. A correspondent in the Country Gentle man suggests covering the ground around the bushes with coal ashes to the depth of five or six inches. The idea is that the coal ashes present a barrier to the exit of the fly from the ground in the spriDg. Concerning this. "Walks and Talks" writes : "Try the coal ashes, but at the same time watch the bushes, and as soon as you see the little, beadlike eggs on the under side of the lower leaves, crush them with the thumb and finger. The flies come out of the ground and deposittheir eggs on the first leaves they come to. On neglected bushes there are generally a dozen or more suckers round the bush. The eggs will be found on these. Cut them al! off, ex cept one or two which may be needed to form new wood. In this way you will destroy hundreds of worms and benefit the bushes at the same time. Remove all the useless wood from the bush, and place it in the sun or burn it You will have more and much finer fruit. The work should be done early in the spring." Tbe correspondent who complains that his fruit prematurely ripens and is worthless, will, if he carefully examines the berries, probably find within each a minute maggot. The only remedy we can suggest is to gather and destroy all such fruit before the insects have time to mature and prepare for a brood tbe nest year.— American Agriculturist. FARM AND FAMILY GARDENS. The Native American race is one of meat eaters, and our carnivorous propensities are quickly adopted by citizens whom we adopt. There is no reason why they should accept our vices with their naturalization, and there is every reason why we should engraft their virtues upon the Native American stock. Germans, French, Italians, and Swedes, are all famous for having good vegetable gardens. The majority ot our best gardeners are | English and Scotch, and sons of firln set up for gardeners even before they have had time to shuffle off the Old Country brogans. If the good wife knows how to use vegeta bles, Bhe will accomplish a great saving of meats, both fresh and salt, and the meals will be much better relished, and more healthful. If she does not know, there is the more necessity for providing an abundance of all sorts of delicious vegetables to put her np to doicg her part well. At all events, then, plant a garden—give it the best manure, well rotted, and plenty of it. Put it on three inches thick, and spade, fork, or plow it in. It will not make a big hole in the manure pile unless one sets out to raise vegetables enough for all the neighborhood, which might pay very well. It is not too late to begin gardening early in May, though April is the proper time to lay out, manure, and plow, to say the least. Those who begin now may with a very little more labor and the use of liquid manure have their tables supplied quite as eatly as many whose gar dens were planted a month earlier. Carry good farm practice into tbe garden, and use good garden practice npon the farm. As a rule, short rows are a nuisance. A twelve or sixteen foot board is frequently used in sowing the seed, and its length may some times determine tbe width of the beds and length ol the rows. The use of the board is twolold—as a guide to the ruke stale in mark ing the drill in which the seed is to be sown, and as a walk while sowing and covering by band. Of course, it is not used when a seed drill is employed, fhc secret of good gar dening is thorough tillage combined with clean culture and high manuring. This can uo. be it the soil is wet, and it can hardly be the first year, if the soil is very stiff clay, first brought under culture, but almost any other giound may sustain a fine garden if la bor and manure be ungtudgingly applied at first. The amount of labor is really no tax, if the garden only gets the odd minutes which might otherwise be lost. The women of the family, from tbe wife to Bridget or Dinah, will rejoice in an occasional opportunity to gather up their dimity and do a little weeding. Bridget and Katharina will probably show unusuat aptness at hoeing cabbages, cauli flowers, and Kale. Only take a little pride in starting the garden well, and the result will be favorable; for the excellence of its products, as soon as lettuce, early beets, green peas, aud little sweet carrots, make their appearance on the table, will supply a motive to diligent continuance in well doing. T he Hints about \\ ork in the Garden, on the third and fourth page of every number of the Agriculturist, are fresh every mouth, and constitute a safe guide for either the novice i or he experienced gardener.— American Ag riculturist.

With suitable im piemeuts nearly all the cultivation can be 1 done by horse power. The only occasion for the band hoe is in the first weeding and in thinning ont the plants bo make a good stand. Old ground is better than a fresh-turned sod, as the soil needs to be fiaely pulverized. We Lhave ali.avs.had the best results from deep Compost Or concentrated fartilizers should be used, one half plowed in and the other half sown broad cast and harrowed in. It is a help to soak beet, carrot, and parsnip seed for a day or two before sowing. Then mix them with superphosphate of lime, and sow with a drill. The young plants make their appearance be fore the weeds, and the rows are so strongly marked that they can be hoed out with very little labor. The cultivator should be started between Hie rcwa as soon as the plants are visible. Very much labor is saved, and larger crops are realized by timely and fre quent cultivation. Stir the ground between the rows every ten days until the plants get possession. Parsnips should be put in early in the spring. Carrots sown June Bth make a good crop in the latitude of New York and Rutabagas and White French turnips may be ; delayed until July Ist. It is easy to raise from 600 to 1000 bushels of roots tc the at re at an expense of not more than 15 cents a bushel. Try an acre, of roots.— American Agriculturist. PGUTWWTT*.

SOCIAL ANOMALIES —The more a woman [ undresses herself, the more she is supposed to be dressed. WHEN yon hear a man say, "Life is but a dream,'' tread on his corns and wake him up. Life is real. THE first evidence of a woman's interest in a man is her mending his gloves, and the last working h m a pair of slippers. 'WELL, my boy, do you know what 'syntax' means?' said a schoolmaster to a pupil. Yes, sir,' was the reply; 'the duty on spirits.' "Yot want nothing, do you?" said Pat. "Bedad, an" if its nothing you want, you'll find it in the jug where the whiskey was." "GRANDMA," said a sharp child, "do you want some candy?"

A WRITER dwelling upon the importance ot small things, says that "he always lakes note of a straw, especially if their happens to he a sherry cobbler at the one end of it."

RICHMOND negro, who draws his soup ra tions at the Bureau, was asked if he got a good article "Dotino. sar: we feeds it to our pig," was the response. A WESTERN merchant lately chalked on a big hogshead in front of his store, 'for sail.' A passing wag added, 'For freight or passage apply at the bunghole.' 'MY DEAR,' said a gentleman to a young lady whom he hoped to marry, do you intend to make a fool of me? 'No," replied the lady, 'nature has saved me the trouble.' A HEARTLESS old bachelor says that if the first month after wedlock is the boßeymoon of married life, the second month is pretty sure to be the lunar caustic of it. A TEACHER who, in a fit of vexation, call ed her pupils a set of young adders, on being reproved for her language apoligizcd by Bay ing that she was speaking to those just com mencing arithmetic. 'ARE you near-sighted, Miss?' said an im pudent fellow to a young lady who did not once choose to notice him. 'Yes: at this distance I can hardly tell whether you are a pig or a puppy.' "How much can you pay us? what can you offer in the pound?" demanded tbe creditors of a bankrupt farmer. "Alas! gentleman, all I really have is a donkey in the pound," replied the ruin agriculturist. A FOOLISH scholar, suffering from hunger, sold bis books and bought himself a dinner.

LECTURE ON THE ARCTIC REGIONS. —Hear- ' iog of a lecture that was to be delivered on Alaska and the Northern regions, we des patched our reporter in order to give the public the benefit of the lecturer's wisdom, j We regret that we have only room for a brief report. The north pole has never been seen; it is j not certain whether the bears climb it. Those who go there are protected from the - cold, although they go in bear skins. No negroes there—all white bear skins. Dr. Ilayes, a Yankee, went there in search : of a notion. You can see a haze when the northern . lights are visible. There is no corn raised in the northern re- < gions—yet when the E.-quimaux have break- ; fast it is an Indian meal. The principal amusement is old sledge— ' tho' sometimes tbey have a new one. The annexation of Alaska to the United States will not probably increase the poll tax. When the prodigal son went into a far country, be probably stopped in Alas ;a. The people there don't care for tbe turn of spring. Wben the rivers begin to run they say its snow matter. The territory is well defended against cav alry. There is a shiver de freeze all around it. It is a good place for orators. Even the whales spout. Horses are not very numerous, though i there are some fine bays on the coast. ; Education is very general. The whales go I in schools.
