TIMELY SUGGESTIONS TO HUSBAND
MEN. Frem That Mem Reliable Authority, The
Uermantewn telegraph."
My way of planting field onions is as
fellows : As seen as the ground is in sui
table condition plow and barrow well,
then drag a leveler or an old deer ever
tbe patch ; then draw a line en one side
and draw your marker which ought te
mark three rows twelve inches apart at
one time along the line ; then when
coming back draw your marker in the -last
mark made, and se en until your patch is
marked out, using the line only the first
time ; then take your sets and sew them
broadcast ever the patch, net sewing them
tee thickly. A little experience and you
can tell the right quantity. The men get
en their knees, having a few sets in their
pockets, in case of net having been sewn
thick enough, for it takes longer ;te pick
up the sets if sewn tee . thickly than te
plant them. De net be afraid of getting
en the patch. If the ground is tee wet te
tread en, it is tee wet te plant.
L.oek te the "rult-Urep.
New is the time te increase your apple,
pear and peach orchards. The extent of
ground requited by these orchards is se
small as scarcely te be missed in a moder-ate-sized
farm, and will produce mere pro pre
tit for the land occupied thau perhaps
any ether crop with which it could be
substituted. Where your apples and pears
are net of tbe most productive and paying
varieties and the trees are net tee large,
graltiug should be resorted te. Seme
whole trees that are in geed health and
vigorous growers may have nearly the en
tile top grafted with superior kinds ; and
this should be always deue after it has
been discovered the fruit is net true te
name or fnHs te be productive. As te
peaches, they are almost uuiversally bud
ded,' and this is done most generally in
June and July.
Gardes Planting for this Menth.
As a mere reminder te these haviug only
a small plot of ground for garden pur
poses for the immediate family supply of
what tbe little garden produces, we men
tion the following crops that must receive
attention in all this month, and are what
we regard as among tbe best te select,
viz.: Tomate for late open culttite ; Leng
Scarlet and White aud Red turnip-rooted
Radish ; Peas in order ; Savery Spinach ;
Large White, or Bosten Mmket Celery ;
Early and Leng Beets ; Early Hern or
Leng Change Carret ; Beans ; Cabbage ;
Water-Cre.s ; Sugar Parsnips ; Cucum
bers ; Leek ; Dutch Butter, or Curled
SileM.m Lettuce ; Okra ; Nasturtiens ;
Salsify or Oyster Plant ; the following
herbs : Thyme, Sage. Sweet Marjoram,
Parslej. Alse, Onion seed. The Onion
sets aud twq first plantings of Peas ought
te have been sewn last month.
Fraelng tbe Ulackberry.
Persons having cultivated the black
bcriy are possessed of sufficient knowledge
te understand the fact that the longer
they allow tbe caucs te remain unpruned
the lateral branches are piopertionably
shorter and the fruit smaller. Te obtain
the largest size ben its and the largest
quantity tee, cut back the leading canes
te uet exceed four feet in length, and
shorten in also the lateral branches, if
they seem te need it. This will Ub found
te increase also the breadth of the steel,
affording mere bearing room, and gener
ally te result in gieatly improving the
crop. It can be deue any time up te the
20th of April. In July, the young weed,
which by that time has grown ever the
tops of the old bearing canes, should be
clipped, especially the lateral branches. It
will have tbe best effect upon the follow
ing year's crop, and will in that case re
quite but little pruning iu the spring, ex
cept se far as te go ever them and com
plete shertening-iu when necessary.
Geed Free Kesds.
Fer many years we have been discuss
ing the expediency of introducing hard
reads, frce for all, throughout the state,
te be in the hands of a separate state de
partment, which should be presided ever
by a general superintendent of highways,
under whom should be deputy superin
tendents of each county, who in turn
would have the immediate control of tbe
township supervisors. It is new proposed
that the state should appropriate a cer
tain sura annually te be divided pre rata
among the townships, and an equal sum
should be added by tbe separate town
ships themselves, the whole te be suffi
cient, iu the course of a few years, te
" turnpike " te a certain extent, the en
tire reads of the commonwealth. The
cost would be a little bigh for the first
few y--ars ; but wheu the reads bad once
passed through the improving process of
the new system the expense would be no
greater than new, and the result would
be hailed with rejoicing by every owner
of a horse or wagon, and especially by
farmers who use the reads mere than any
ether class of people, te whom the im
proved reads would prove invaluable, and
the cost, whatever it might be, would be
tbe most economically and profitably spent
money that ever left the purse of the tax
payer.
Cern Cnlture In Gardens.
In field culture corn is planted in hills.
Seme have tried growing it in lines or
drills, and have obtained mere corn.
There is net the same chance for three or
four plants feeding together in one hill
that there is for a single plant alone, and
with nothing nearer te it than a feet or se.
Three plants a feet apart will give mere
corn than three plants, in one bill three
feet from another hill.; This is net only
reasonable but has been verified by actual
facts. But the increased crops does net
pay. The horse-hoe cannot work but one
way when the corn is in drills, and then
tha horse has te be idle in the stable while
the driver takes tbe slew hand-hoe te clean
out the weeds in the row. But the field
practice, proper enough in the field, has
been carried te tbe garden, and sweet corn
for tbe table is treated just as if it were a
field crop. Iu gardens where hand labor
is exclusively used, theie is no reason
whatever for growing corn in hills. One
can have better sweet corn by sewing in
rows than in hills, while the labor is in no
wise any mere.
Te injure a constant supply of sweet
corn for tbe table, there should net be less
than seven different plantings through the
season. The first planting (of dry seed)
should be made net earlier than the 20th
of April ; the next planting ten days after,
and then fellow the live ether plantings
from ten te twelve days apart, the last
being toward tbe end of June.
Te Grew the Lima tfeaa Successfully.
The Lima bean is one of our most popu
lar and desirable vegetables ; but for one
reason or another many people have
trouble in getting them te de well, and
some people in gcttiug them at all. This
bean loves heat, dislikes cold moisture,
and delights in loose, rich soil. These
who wish te succeed have te be careful
that all the. conditions are fully insured.
In order te guard against damp the earth
is drawn into geed-sized bills, se that any
superabundant moisture can pass rapidly
a.wav. Tf t.hn anil Via hMTV a lnrcra nnrMnn
of readsand or even finely-sifted coal ceal
fashes should be mixed with the soil in
these hills, and if one can have access te a
cow-yard, well-decomposed manure from
such a locality is the perfection of feed te
the Lima bean. Then in planting,, they
ought te be set but just beneath the sur
face, or they will be very liable te ret iu
pushing their way through. It does no
harm either te push them in the ground
edgewise, as the sprouting germ comes up
the sooner.
But with even all these precautions for
dryness, feed and warmth, people often
plant tee seen ; a cold rain fellows and
the seed rots. Four sound looking beans
are-enough for each hill, -and if all grew
and de well one may be taken out. But
as a very sure we may say certain guar
antee against the seed retting greats with
tallow the beans before planting. We have
in fact never failed in our own crop, in
following out this method, unless through
a prolonged drought like that of last year,
and even then we had at least half a crop.
Fence Pests.
The time is at hand when new fences
are te be built and old ones repaired ; and
the most essential point is te have them
last as long as they can be made te, for it
is quite an item of cost te overhaul old or
build new fences every four or five years.
Te have a fence that will last we must
have geed pests,. for that is the part that
gives out first by retting off at the surface
of the soil. Then the fence has te come
down, new pests set, and the beards re
placed. Sixteen years age I experimented
with fences, and find seasoned oak pests
oiled aud then tarred with boiling coal tar
makes them last the longest. I took green
pests that were sawed five inches tquare
at one end and two by five inches at the
ether, and seven feet long. I tarred half
as many as would build my fence, and tbe
ether half I put iu the ground green with
nothing done te them. Iu five years after
the tarred pests were nothing but a sl.ell
under the ground, all the inside being de
cayed. Seme of the ether pests were rot ret
ted off, and some were about balf rotten.
Twe years after I built another fence
with seasoned oak pests, same size as the
first, giving them all a geed coat of oil,
and in a few days after tarred them as I
did before with coal tar, heated iu a can
made for the purpose, four feet deep and
large enough te held four pests set en
end ; lett them in the boiling tar about ten
minutes then took them out and sanded
them. And new after fourteen years net
one in ten need'replaeiug. I shall never
build a fence for myself requiring pests
without fiist thoroughly seasoning, then
oiling and then tarriug them. If they are
tarred when green the tar does net pene
trate the weed, and in a short time will all
scale off., vv hen tbe weed is seasoned the
oil penetrates the weed, aud theceatinrr
of coal tar keeps out the meistute, therel y
preserving the weed from decay.
Tbe Culture of Cauteleupes.
Regarding a perfect canteleupe te be
among the very highest grades of fruit
grown in the world, we cannot refrain
when the season comes round te mention
hew they' may be raised with success.
Almest every person having a garden of
any size should try his hand at it, as it can
be deue with almost as much ceitainty as
raising a crop of corn. The ground should
have a warm exposure aud be friable
clay mould uet being adapted. The hill
should be dug our eight or ten
inches, two feet in diameter, and filled
with well-retted manure, rich soil
aud sand turnpike dirt is excellent
as a substitute for the latter. Fhe
or six seeds should be placed at equal dis
tances about an inch in depth, and the
hill" should be even with the ether soil,
except the season premises te be wet
wheu they should be raised. They should
be about six feet apart each way, and the
plants when they have passed all danger,
should be thinned out te two or three in a
hill. The beds must be kept clear of all
weeds aud grass, and wheu the vines com
mence running they should net be disturb
ed, as the rootlets connected with the vine
and by which it is largely supplied with
nourishment will be broken. The ground,
as the viues begin te extend, should be
gene eyer with au iron rake, especially
after a heavy shower, te loosen it and give
these rootlets a chance te take held. The
seed should be plauted at the time of corn
planting.
Sewiug round the hill, a few inches dis
tant, early radish seed, will generally
protect the young plants from the bugs,
and always will be mere or less beneficial.
Should bugs appear, a sprinkle of weak
whale-oil soap and water, or ofjearbelio
acid soap .and water, will seen seud them
adrift.
The best variety of canteleupe te plant
in his section is the " Citren," tbe
Jenny Lind," the " White Japan " and
the " Casaba." The Nutmeg is tee late
for us.
There is no reason why all our farmers
should net have a patch of cantele'upes for
family use. A plot of ground 40 by 40
feet would be enough for a moderate
sized family, and if it is net te spare .iu
the garden, select a suitable place en the
farm land. They can raise far superior
fruit te any found in the city markets.

GEM. SICKLES' GAS BIIX.
JL Mew Yerk Judge Who lees net ISellcve
that Gas Meteis are Infallible.
A suit was begun in the New Yerk su
preme court several months age by Gen.
Daniel E. Sickles against the Manhattan
gas light company, with the object of
restraining the qefendant corporation from
cutting off the supply of gas from tbe
plaintiff's apartments at Ne. 14 Fifth ave
nue, New Yerk, and from removing the
meter from the house. Wheu the action
was begun a temporary injunction was
obtained by Oen. Sickles. At the hearing
upon a motion te continue this injunction
affidavits were presented en behalf of
Gen. Sickles averring that the defendant
corporation had sent him bills for gas
which the meter was alleged te show ta
have been consumed in his apartments
between January 18, 1881, and may 0,
within almost all of which period he was
in Europe, and his apartments were lock
ed up and the gas was eut off. The affi
davits also contained statements that un
true bills had been sent toether persons in
the same house, and that the meters de net
register correctly. Affidavit in opposition
te the motion recited that the meter in
Gen. Sickles' apartment had been tested
after the dispute concerning the cor
rectness of the bill arese.and bad been feui d
te register te the disadvantage of the de
fendant and in favor of the plaintiff. It
was urged by Mr. Henry A. Andersen, for
the Manhattan gas-light company, that as
Gen, Sickles bad refused te pay the bill
presented te him the company had a right
te take away his meter and deprive him of
gas. Messrs. Jehn Graham and M. B.
Field argued that the correctness of the
disputed bill mns be proved, and could
net be sustained by the mere statement
of the defendant, and that until it was
proved the defendant should be restrained
from interfering with tbe plaintiff.
Judge Lawrence decided yesterday te
continue the injunction until the determi
nation of the suit. In his opinion he says:
"I de net understand that the statute has
made the gas company the sole judge of
the question Whether any, and if se what,
amount of rent or remuneration is due te
it, nor that such company's determina
tion is necessarily binding and conclusive
upon the consumer nor that by anything
in the section contained his right te resort
te the courts te have the question whether
a case has arisen iu which the company is
justified in cutting off his supply of gas
ascertained and settled has been taken
away. Courts of equity have frequently in
terfered by injunction in cases of a sim
ilar or analogous character.
In Meray against the Metropolitan gas
light company (38 superior court reports,
page 185), it was held that the i-ight of a
gas company under the section of the act
te which I have just referred te shut off
the gas from the premises of a person who
is a customer, and who has made the de
posit required, depends wholly upon the
fact as te whether or net that person is in
arrears for gas furnished by tbe company.
and that is a question of fact te be deter
mined by evidence and net by the will or
the conclusion of the company. The prin
ciple there asserted is applicable, in my
opinion, te this case. It is be
yond a doubt that the plaintiff left this
country en the 29th of January, 1881, and
remained away until the 6th day of May of
that year. The last -bill which was ren
dered prier te his departure, according te
the schedule annexed te the affidavit of
v ice jrresiaenr, uarpenier, snowed a con
sumption of 3,60.' cubic feet be
tween that date ari the date of
tbe rendition of tfff 'immediately pre-
ceaing Din, te wit, the leth of December.
The bill preceding that of December 18
was rendered November 17, 1880, and be
tween luese two aates tne piaintux is
stated te have consumed 4,200 cubic fret
of gas. A bill was rendered also
en the lGth of February, 18 days
after the plaintiff had left the country,
which showed the consumption of 2.100
cubic feet -between that date and the 18th
of January. If thft bill was correct the
plaintiff consumed 2,100 cubic feet of gas
between the 18th of January and the 29th
of January, the date en which he lefc and
en which the gas was cut off, or in eleven
days. The next bill which was rendered
is dated tbe 18th of May, and shows a
consumption between tbe leth of Febru
ary, 1881, and that date of 1,000 feet of
gas. At that time the plaintiff had been
home 12 days. The plaintiff contends that
en the face of these bills it is apparent that
he has been chareed for gas consumed
during his absence, when the gas was cut
off, and when none was or could have been
consumed by him. The bills rendered be
fore his departure show that the plaintiff
at times consumed between 115 and 133
cubic feet of gas per night, while the bill
rendered en the 10th of February, which
showed the amount of gas consumed by
-him between Jan. 18 and Jan. 29 a period
of eleven days 2,100 cubic feet, or of
nearly 200 feet per night. I think that the
inference strongly arises from this state
ment that the meter did net register cor
rectly, and that the plaintiff, before sub
mitting te the annoyance and vexation
of having his gas cut off is entitled te
have tbe question tested as te the correct
ness of the bills presented te him. It is
true that the defendant showed that the
meter in questieu had been properly
tested and proved by the proper officers,
aud it is proper te state in this connection
that everything appears te have beeu
done which could bave been done by it te
secure accuracy and correctness in the
meter, but the fact remains that in addi
tion te the alleged case of the plaintiff
ether parties occupying rooms iu the same
house received bills for gas indicated by
ether meters as having been consumed by
these parties when they were confessedly
absent from the city and the gas had been
shut off. This evidence tends strongly
te show that gas meters are net infalli
