Farm and Garden Notes.
Mr. Peter Hendersen, of New Yerk
state, states iu the Gardener's Monthly
that he has discovered that mulching
roses in pets te force flowers for the holi
days, in January last, with common mess
mixed with a geed portion of bone dust,
say one part bone dust te thirty of mess,
has a wonderful effect iu bringing forth
early roses. In two weeks after the mulch
was first applied a change was clearly te
be seen, and by the end of May the plants
had 'attained from four te six feet in
height, 'and though they had bloomed
profusely during a period of nearly six
months, were in the most perfect health
and vigor." All ether plants en which the
mulch had been tried showed marked ben
efits. AVe should be thankful for some reliable
information about the pink water lily,
which it is claimed will grew nowhere else
than in the neighborhood of Cape Ced.
Cannet some of our Bosten contempora
ries tell us something about it ? We have
heard a great deal about their exclusivencss
but wc don't believe it.
In England black walnut is in large de
mand, and lagents of English manufac
turers have lately been visiting Iowa Indi
ana and Missouri for the purpose of buy
ing all that they could obtain. About
twenty five years age this weed was se
little appreciated iu the Western states
that it was cut up with common weeds
into pests and rails for fencing purposes,
and much was thus used. There is but
little danger, however, of the supply be
coming exhausted, as there are vast forests
of it in some of the Southern states.
Seme horses possess an immense amount
of endurance. Ne denbt many of the ills
that hereseflcsh is heir te arc mere fre
quently produced by ever-feeding than
from an insufficiency of feed. An evidence
of long-continued service arc a pair of
horses-owned by Jeseph Fenstcnuachcr,
of Topton, Berks ceuuty, Pa., which have
been used in ere teams for eighteen years,
and are still serviceable.
An immense quantity of tomatoes and
ether vegetables has been canned in New
Jersey this season. At Campbell's can
ning establishment, Camden, as many as
300,000 cans of tomatoes and peas were
thus put up during the past three months.
Twe hundred hands were employed te de
the. work. The demand for these goods
is largely from the Seuth.
The crops from Canada arc reported this
year te be satisfactory. AVhilc -the yield
of wheat is net se heavy as last year, ether
crops particulary barley, eats, hay, roots
and fruit were heavy. The potato crop of
Prince Edward Island gives a generous re
turn, and altogether the farmers of the
Dominion are better situated pecuniarily
than they were a year or two age.
The hop crop of New Yerk state turns
out te be a very superior one, enough net
only te supply all ever our consumption,
but te have several thousand bales te spare.
This is geed news. Seme years the crop
is almost an entire failure, entailing great
less en the cultivators. Cooperstown seems
te be about the hcadquarteis of the crop
in New Yerk.
The Pacific llural Life says tiiat thor
oughbred stock iu considerable numbers
has been sent te Asia, the Sandwich
Islands and Mexico from California.
Shorthorns and Jerseys are favorite breeds
in that state, in raising horses much
progress is new being made, and many
superior animals have been had there with
in a few years.
Ne family in China is said te be tee peer

struts a pert cock and a few hungry hens,
which lead a precarious existence and never

The late arrival of two American steam
ers at Revel, Russia, created a decided
sensation in that country. Owing te the

Owing te the heavy apple crop the ship

Receipt for Curing Meat.
Netc-t from the Ucrmuiitnwn Telegraph.
As the season has arrived when curing
meat is in enlcr, wc republish as of old,
our famous receipt for curing beef, perk,
mutton, hams, etc., as fellows :
Te one gallon of water,
Take 1 lbs, of salt,
lb sugar,
4 oz. saltpetre,
oz. potash.
In this ratio the pickle can be inurea'-cil
te any quantity desired. Let these be
boiled together itntil all the dirt from the
sugar rises te the top and is skimmed eii.
Then threw it into a tub te cool, and when
cold, pour it ever your beef or perk. The
meat must be well covered with pickle, and
should net be put down for at least two
days after killing, during which time it
should be slightly sprinkled with powdered
saltpetre, which removes all the surface surface
bleed, etc., leaving the meat fresh and
clean. Seme emit boiling the pickle, and
find it te answer well, though the opera
tion of boiling purities the pickle by
throwing oft' the dirt always te be found
in salt and sugar. If this receipt is
sttictly followed, it will require only a
single trial te prove its sujerierity ever
the common way. or most ways, of put
ting down meat, and will net seen be aban
doned for any ether. The meat is unsur
passed for sweetness, delicacy and fiesh
ness of color.
Omit the potash unieyeu can gettheptue
article. Druggists usually keep it.
Jtalky Derses.
As long as we can remember we have
read of lcmcdics for balky horses, and
they have been pretty much of the same
nature, te wit : Te examine the harness en
one side and then en the ether, then jump
into the wagon and drive off. Very nice,
but try it. Next, take the horse out of
the shafts and make him go round and
round until he is giddy, &c. Rather diffi
cult wc think te make a horse giddy. Next,
te place the hand ever the horse's nose
and held it there, preventing him from
breathing until he wants te go. Easy te
try. Next, take a couple of turns of stout
twine around the foreleg just below the
knee, tight enough for the horse te feel,
and tie in a bowknot. He will at once
start, and the string can be removed.
Next, take take the tail of the horse be
tween the hind legs and tie by a cord te
the saddle girth. Next, tie a string around
the horse's car close te his head.
There is another which we knew fre
quently answers, which is te catch up a
handful of dirt and forcing it into the
mouth of the animal.
But there is still another, the one we
have adopted in all cases, and have never
yet known it te fail. It is te pass a twine
around tht lower jaw, and of course below
the tongue, and tie it quite tight ever the
top of the head, leaving an end of two or
three feet, by which te pull at, walking in
front of the horse. This will be leund te
be a remedy in all cases i properly done.
A "ew Idea or Hedge Culture.
Germairten n Telegraph.
In one of our exchanges wc see it stated
that the Illinois farmers have discovered a
new principle of hedge culture. They
need te have discovered something ; for,
if reports of these who have traveled in the
West arc worth anything, a geed Osage
orange hedge is one of the rarest of
sights, and this though the Osage orange
has been grown for hedges by the hun
dreds of millions during the past feity
years.
The new idea is in regard te trimming.
It has been the doctrine te cut and slash
en all occasions. The young plant lias
scarcely made a growth before it is cut
back te thicken it; and as seen as it
sprouts again it is again cut, aud se ou is
it through life. But with all this cutting
back te thicken it would get naked below;
and then after all this it had te be
"plashed," as it is called, te make that
thick below which the previous trimming
has failed te de. This plashing is te cut
the stem half-way through near the
ground and then push the plant ever ; the
next plant treated in the same way, and
pushed ever the one already laid down,
and se en till the whole hedge is done,
leaving each plant lying en the ether, like
furrow slices in a plowed field. But this
has net resulted satisfactorily. It is found
that the continuous trimming has weak
ened the plant's held en life. Many of
the heads die, and the mass of dead stuff
as it disappears leaves a hole, which is net
a hedge, or anything that was designed te
be.
Se they have new discovered something
new ; and the novelty is te let the plant
grew as it will for three or four years and
then " plash " it. They find that the un
cut and untrimmed plant is healthier and
stronger every way than the plant cut and
slashed about in the old way ; and from
the base below the half-cut part, a mass of
strong sheets put up aud mak e their way
between the layered heads in a way never
dreamed of under the old plan.
But the interest for us in Pennsylvania
is that it is net a new plan left te the in
ventive genius et Illinois te find, but only
a Pennsylvania idea, alluded te frequently
in the reports of our fruit growers' and
horticultural meetings and noticed en
several occasions in these columns. AVe
have given it as our opiuien that through
Pennsylvania has never made much talk
about live hedges, as she yet has trees for
timber-tcncing in abundance, she has mere
geed Osage orange hedges than the whole
state of Illinois, and we suppose this is be
cause the principle of geed hedge culture
is better understood! Lancaster, Chester
and Columbia counties are full of geed
hedges, which it would de our AVestern
friends geed te sec.
The Illinois farmers, though wc cannot
give them credit for priority of the dis
covery, will, however, find that they have
hit en a geed plan in letting their young
plants grew, as they will for a few years,
bsfore allowing the trimming hook te
touch them ; but they will have te go far
ther than this, and abandon the plashing
system altogether before they will have a
real geed hedge that it would delight the
heart of a geed man te sec. Instead of
cutting half through, our progressive
hedgers cut entirely oil", close te the
ground, and the mass of thick, strong,
vigorous sheets that push out arc mould
ed into form, and make a geed hedge the
same year. As already said, the half
dead-alive sheets of the laid down part in
the plashed hedge generally die in time '
but beside this the young growth which
pushes up from below the place of bending
has te push through the mass of bent
branches and ate weakened in the strug-
Bcsidet all this there is the great beauty
or a hedge ea this plan ever the plashed
one. If wc let the plants grew three or
four years before they are plashed they
arc large, wide and without form, and
when bent down make a thick, ungainly
mass, occupying ground without use or
lx;auty ; but when the strong plants arc
clean cut away, the new growth has every
oppeitunity te develop itself healthfully,
and can be kept within any reasonable
bounds.
The Murder by an American Speaker.
The Little Reck (Ark.) Gazette of De
cember 5, 18e7, gave au account of the
murder en the previous day of Majer J. J.
Antheny by the speaker of the lower
house. Cel. Jehn AVilsen. It appears from
the particulars that this murderous outrage
took place en the fleer of the Heuse while
iu session, the speaker, in consequence of
some ellensive remark directed against
him by the unfortunate member, having
come down from his seat armed with a
bowie knife. The member, it is stated,
was similarly armed, but the rencentre
only lasted for a moments, the latter hav
ing been Iqft dead en the fleer, and the
speaker had one hand nearly cut oil and
the ether severely injured. AVilsen was
forthwith arrested by the civil authorities
and his name stricken from the roll of the
Heuse by nearly a unanimous vote. On
the leth of December, 18:)8, after an ex
amination, he was held te bail in 10,000
te answer the charge, and en May 14,
18US, he was,aftcr trial, found " net guilty
of murder, but cxcusable homicide."

OAK HALL, PHILADELPHIA-
Werth
Knewing.
There is a place in Philadelphia
where a stranger may buy his clothes,
and fare as well as if he knew the
whole city by heart ; ami if knows
nothing about the value of cloths,
or of clothes, he is as well oil" as
if he were a geed judge of both.
The reason Is that everything te
be found there is made there
made and sold under a system
which rarely allows mistakss te
occur, and which corrects them if
they de occur.
Oak Hall is the place; and its
practice may be summed up in a
few words. If you get there what
you don't want te keep at the
price, you return it, and get your
money back.
This means a great deal mere
than appears en the surface. It
means that you arc net going te
get what you will net want te keep
at the price, if the merchant can
help it. It means that the clothes
you get there will be of honest cloths,
honestly made ; and that they will
cost you less than as geed clothes
can be get for elsewhere. It means
that they will be every way better
worth your money than you can get
elsewhere for the same money.
If it means anything less than these
things if it means peer cloths, trim
mings, cutting, sewing, or in any way
dishonest or illiberal dealing; the
return of his goods will plague the
merchant, injure his credit and dis
sipate his trade.
If it means these things if it means
liberal and honorable dealing, valu
able and trusty clothing, ease and
safety in getting it, Oak Hall js the
place for you te go te, or te send
te; and it is worth your while
te knew hew you can send, if it is
inconvenient te go.
Write; sav what your occupation
is ; say what sort of use you intend
te make of the clothes you want;
whether for everyday wear or other
wise ; what color you prefer, or whal
color te avoid ; say about what you
want te pay; say everything that
you think may aid a stranger in
cheesing for you. Yeu will get in
reply samples of cloths and prices of
whatever yen want made from these
cloths. Yeu will get also the means
of having your measure taken by an
unskilled person.
There is only one difliculty left.
Somebody has get te take the risks
of the dealing ; for there are risks.
Send your money along with your
order. That covers the risk as te
your geed faith. We risk everything
else; the fit aud your satisfaction
every way.
Our trade by mail amounts te half
a million dollars a year; there's no
reason why it shouldn't amount te
five millions.
