Salting' Cabbnpo Plants.
O. W. T., liahway, N. J., considers salt
necessary to tho development of the cab
bage, especially in places far front the
coast, lie finds them more crisp, of bet
ter flavor, and to keep better when salt is
used, than without. lie uses it ns fol
lows :
"A few days after setting out t he
plants, and when they are damp, cither
after a rain or when the dew is on, I take
a small dish of fine salt and walk among
tho rows, sprinkling a little pinch of salt
on tho centre of each plant when the
leaves begin to grow. 1 repeat the salt
ing, and when the centre leaves begin to
form the head, I apply salt agaiu, scat
tering it over the leaves ; after this I
look them over occasionally, and if I find
any plants that do not head well or ap
pear diseased, I sprinkle the salt over
freely; this will save all such plants. A
quart of salt ia sufficient for 500 plants in
a season, although more can be used
with safety." American Agriculturist.
Hints for Gardeners.
For taking your cabbage plants from
the seed bed, a garden trowel, or a kitch
en case knife, or a small paddle of wood
nhould be used ; have a basin or piggin
at band to put them in, in which prepare
a mixture of mould, soot and Hour of
sulphur, reduced to the consistency of
cream with water. The plants should be
placed in this mixture, up to the leaves ;
make a hole with a dibble made of bard
wood large enough to receive the roots
easily, seize the opportunity of the first
rain to put them out, taking care to have
them firmly fixed in their places. The
plants should be moderately watered every
day or two, if a drought should inter
vene and a dusting of plaster or soot, sin
gle or combined, in the dew of the luorn
ing,has an excellent efl'eet on their growth.
Sow cabbage seed in a warm southern
border, early in April, to grow plants to
succeed the earlier kinds.
Bone Dust for Strawberries.
Bone dust may be sown broadcast over
strawberry beds in early spring or at any
time during the early summer. It is bet
ter to apply in rainy weather, as then the
soluble portions are immediately carried
down to the roots of tho plants. If the
strawberries arc cultivated in bills, thou
a handful of bone dust is sufficient. We
usually apply it on the surface and then
work it in with bye or cultivator. The
quantity to be applied per acre should be
varied according to tho richness of the
soil; if poor, a half ton, or even a ton,
will do no barm, but much good. AVe
consider bono a valuable fertilizer for all
kinds of soil, and there is little danger of
upplying too much, provided it is mixed
with the soil. Hearth and Home.
JCST-Tho German town Telegraph says
that gardens, and especially old ones,
should be limed about once in five years,
and salted about every other spring, ap
plying of lime at the rate of about thirty
bushels to the acre ; and of salt from
eight to ten. In applying salt keep it
from coming in contact with box edging
and all other evergreens, very small trees,
etc. Such a course will bring up your
old gardens in a surprising mauner.
Turnips, radishes, etc., will grow as well
as they ever did. and all other vegetables
be largely benefitted.
Potato Biscuit : Boil two common
iaed potatoes with thoso you cook for
dinner. Peel and mash them very smooth
and fine, add one quart of flour and a lit
tle salt to the hot potatoes, half a cup of
good yeast, mix with milk-warm water
and set in a pretty warm place. About
an hour before tea-time, mould up into
biscuit, put into a baking pan and set on
the stove hearth. When they begin to
rise well, put into a quick oven, and bake
to a delicate brown. They will bo found
light, sweet and moist.
To Believe Asthma. Soak some
blotting paper in a strong solution of salt
petre ; dry it : tako a piece about the
izo of your hand, and on going to bed,
light it, and lay it on a plate, in your bed
room. By so doing, persons afflicted with
the asthma, will find that they can sleep
almost as well aa when in health.
JBaF Two farmers in Kansas recontly
had a lawsuit about seven pounds of but
ter. When the jury retired, they took
with them the butter, procured some
orackers, ate them together, and returned
ayerdictof " no cauao for action."
BST A ball, one foot iu diameter, just
conceals tho moon's face when held be
fore it at the distance of one hundred
and twenty feet from tho eye. C( nse
quontly, a ball one mile in diameter, would
do the same thing at one hundred and
twenty miles ; a ball of one thousand
miles at one hundred and twenty
thousand miles; and a ball two thou
sand miles across, at one hundred and
forty thousand miles. But this is about
the moon's distance; consequently, the
moon's breadth must be about two thou
sand miles App! ttm'x Journal.
JfS55T Imperial Gingerbread: Hub six
ounces of butter into three-quarters of a
pound of flour ; then mix six ounces of
treacle with a pint of cream carefully,
lest it fhould turn the cream; mix in
a quarter of a pound of double refined
sugar,(half an ounce of powdered ginger,
and one ounce of carraway seeds ; stir
the whole well together into a paste, cut
it into shapes, and cut out candied orange
or leuiou peel on the top.
CUTTINO THK SKASON TlMllKlt. It is
often the cast that timber is wanted for
handles, shafts, etc., that must be thor
oughly seasoned without splitting or
warping. To elleet this when tho tree is
cut, strip off the bark, cut into pieces,
and bury in the ground to dry. If dryed
in the sun it is liable to become cheeked
or warped; but when covered with a
lighi soil in some dry place, the wood is
thoroughly seasoned and without a, flaw.
US? A correspondent of the Western
Farmer advises that no man enter the
" ranks of the agriculturalists, lured
thither by tho sole aim of amassing dol
lars and cents. Such an one is only a lit
recruit lor a corps of 1 land skinners,'
whose occupation consists in marring the
beauty in nature and the handiwork of
nature's God."
