HUMOROUS. Making Garden. • 31. WAD RELATES 1115 EXPERIENCE fl TIIE WA OP DIGGING. -0-- Lait year my wife said it would be so nice if we could Only,have a little garden behind the house and raise our own veg etables. We lire in town, and our gar den spot is one rod wide by two rods long, surrounded by fences twelve feet high, and I felt dubious. However, wife said she should feel so proud to pull radishes, lettuce and peas from our own garden, and she was so enthusiastic over the idea that I consented to turn that waste of oyster caps; hoop-skirts, ash barrells and old axe handles into a smiling garden. I dreamed of planting beans, climbing cucumber vines and selling lettuce by the car-load, and next morning I gave a man five dollars to clear out and shape up the back yard. Then I bought a spade, hoe and rake and, proceeded to lay the ground off into beds and to make romantic walks between them wherein the children and their mother might wander at eventide. I was a week doing this. Some of the beds were square, three-cornered and some on the and the broad avenues and alley run ing between excited the jealousy of all the professional gardens in town. They couldn't lick me and so they called me names. One said I was an old fool, an other said I was an idiot, another thought I lied gone mad, and the rest of them called pirate and so forth. I should have been dtscouraged but for my wife. I planted fivs dollars worth of stuff— I slung in peas by the pint, exhausted the bean market, and scattered lettuce until the ground groaned, and then I rell back and waited for nature. While we were on an excursion down the river, Smith's hens came over and sat down on my delicate beds, dug holes in them, kicked the dirt around, and knocked the corners off the middle bed. I went for Smith, barked his nose, and was fined ,215, and then I spent a whole day repair ing the beds. The garden was doing finely, and I was contracting to supply a hotel with early vegetables, when Purdy's pig got out and made me a visit. When I got home and went out to wander in my garden, I threw down my hat, jumped on it, and swore that I'd roast Purdy at the stake. I went over and dared him to knock a chip off my shoulder, and was arrested for threats and fined fifteen dollars. It took a week to fix up my garden. I bought three dol lars worth of guano, and sat up all' nigh t watching with the early plants, and finally they got over it and began to smile again. The morning that I was able to point out to my family the,top of an early onion, and three or four green things where I had sowed lettuce, was a proud morning for me. There were tears in my wife's eyes and the children leaned against the woodshed and sobbed in exul tation. A week passed, the plants were just throwing dirt over the fence, when the chimney on the next house took fire, and the firemen came in on my garden.— When I got home and went out to wan der, I saw the smiling verdure of the morning turned into a lake, with a dead hen in the center for an island. The dear children were sailing corn starch boxes across the lake towards a dead cat in the corner, and as they saw me they cried out: "Oh, Father! ain't you glad We can now have a milldam. and be as big as Mr. Tripp's folks!" My wife is very quiet and meek now-i -days. She never says anything about early vegetables or smiling gaidens, and if I mention the subject myself, she re plies in the absent way: "Richard, isn't it strange that I don't get a letter from mother ?" Transftuslon or Blood. Max Adder writes to the Danbury News as follows : "A recent medical experiment has ex cited a considerable amount of interest in our village. My neighbor Simpson was nearly dead with consumption, and aDr. Hopkins, at last, in despair, conclud ed to try the effect of a transfusion of blood of which he had heard so much lately. As no human being was willing to shed his blood for Simpson, tha doctor bled Simpson's goat, and opening a vein in Simpson's arm he ejected about two quarts of the blood into the patients sys tem. Simpson immediately began to re vive; but, singular to relate, no sooner had his strength returned than he jumped out of bed and twitching his head about after the fashion of a goat, he made a savage attempt to butt the doctor. That medical gentleman, after having Simp son's head plunged against his stomach three or four times, took refuge in the closet ; whereupon Simpson banged his head - against the panel of thd door a cou ple of times, and would probably have broken it to splinters had not his moth er-in-law entered at that moment and di verted his attention. One well directed blowfrotn Simpson floored her, and then while she screamed for help, Simpson frolicked around over the floor, making assiduous efforts to nibble the green flow ers in the ingrain carpet. When they called the hired man in and tied him down on the bed, an effort was made to interview him, but the only answer be could give to such questions as bow he felt and when he wanted his medicine was a 'ba-a,' precisely like that of the goat; and then he would strain himself in an effort to butt a hole in the head board. The condition of the patient was so alarming, cud airs. Simpson was so indignant, that Dr. Hopkins determined to undo the evil if possible. So he first bled Simpson freely, and then by heavi ly bribing Simpson's irishmim he procur ed fresh blood from him andinjected Simpson the second time. Simpson is now as well as ever, excepting that he shocks his old republican frienda by dis playing an irresistible tendency to vote the democratic ticket, and makes his mother-in-law mad by speaking with a strong bregne. But he has given up butting, and has never indulged in it since but once, and that was on Sunday, when one of the remaining corpuscles of goat's blood getting into his brain just as be was going into church, he butted the sexton half way up the aisle, and only recovered himself sufficiently to apologize just as the enraged official was about to floor him with a hymn book." A boarder at a hotel in Madison N. J., evaded the Payment of a month's bills on the ground that a printed list of prices was not, as the law requires, past ed in his room. Ho wiisenot so success fal,:howerer, in evading the boot of the • FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Agricultural Esperionce. Dr. E. M. Pendleton, Professor of Agg• ricultura in the Georgia Agricultural. Co llege, in a recent elaborate report coneern ing the results of experimental farming, epitomizes some valuable information as follows: That the application of soluble ma nures in a lipid form is better and more efficient than when applied in the dry state. That lime will pay on soils abound ing in org,antio matter; on other soils its applications is of doubtful utility. That subsoils do not germinate seeds, or grow plants, like surface soils. That early planted cotton will not nro duce as much as that planted later, when the ground becomes warm' and vig orous and healthy. That subsoiling cotton lands will pay for the extra labor on clay soils. That one stalk in the hill will produce more cotton than two or mom stalks. That topping cotton is rather detri ment than an advantage to the crop. That cotton planted in narrow rows two and a half feet wide and fertilized, on thin land, will produce more fruit than in wider rows, with a seasonable year. That five by three feet is the best dis tance to plant corn on medium land of a reasonable year. That pulling fodder does not seriously injure the core after it passes the milk stage. Fertilizers applied during the growth of the crop,to keep up a supply of nutrition to the rootlets, will not pay under ordi nary circumstances. That stable manure, either fresh or rot ted, applied with a high-graded super phosphate, makes a very efficient fertili zer for cotton. That cotton seed applied with the germ killed (or green, if put in deep,) in con junction with a good superphosphat, makes a powerful fertilizer. That large crops of turnips can be made on thin lands by the application of superphosphate of lime, and, inferen tially, sheep husbandry might be made profitable by feeding on turnips and fertilizing the soil, as well as for the wool and motton, and the consequent reduc tion of the amount of cotton by the divis ion of labor. That subsoiling land for corn will pay for the extra labor even if a seasonable year, much better of a dry year. • That a large amount of fertilizers(say half a ton per acre) will not pay with low-priced cotton. That with a good cultivation, good fertilizers will pay even at the lowest rates of cotton; but with a bad cultiyation, they will hardly pay at any price. That ashes treated with sulphuric acid will greatly improved their fertilizing qualities. That two hundred pounds of a good ammoniated superphosphate is about the quanity to be used on an acre of cotton. Preserving Green Fodder --o A method of preserving green fodder such as turnip-tops, or other succulent vegetables. has been in use for many years in Europe, by Which this green fodder is kept in good condition for six or twelve months. A trench two to four feet deep is dug in a dry spot in.the filled , and the tops of 'the roots, carefully gathered when free from rain or due, thrown into it.— They are very compactly pressed down, and when the pit is filed, some straw is laid upon the fodder and the earth is heaped over the whole. In this manner this product, which is generally wasted in great measure, is utilized.—On one oc casion, the writer saw one of these pits opened in the spring, which had been filled and covered up the fall previous.— The fodder, which was leaves of sugar beets, was as fresh to all appearance as when gathered, and the cows to which it was fed ate it with avidity, Salt is generally sprinkled upon the fodder and aids in its preservation. It would be worth while when our root crops are be ing gathered to preserve the tops in this way as an experiment. It is not proba ble that there will be any difficulty on ac count of our colder climate in thus pre serviag for future use a very considerable amount of winter fodder. The princi pal requisites are to pick away the leaves when dry, to compress them as closely as possible, and to cover them so completely with earth that all access of air is preven ted. It is by the exclusion of air that they are kept from decay. Agricultural Philosophy —o— There is no great success in farming without hard work; but it is the good alone. It is uphill work to go against the judgment of all your neigh hors, but if you are sue you aro right, go abeam no matter what they say. The servant is not above his master in industry; the farmer must be able to lead in the field and know whether a man is doing good work, and the workman must know that he knows what a day's work is. I said forty years ago I would use plaster if it cost me 840 a ton; but clover and plas ter alone will not keep up the fertility of grain farms. When I see a man drain ing farm and carting out notable piles of well-rotted manure, I consider him safe. Ile can borrow money to make improve ments, and the Sheriff will not often tie up at his hitching-post. When the midge demands an early harvest, or the ground is so rich that the straw falls, I have al most saved a crop by sowing salt. Far mers miss it in giving up the old worm fence. It is the cheapest in the end. I wire stakes together and keep the bottom rail up. It is awkward looking, but I have sound rails that were not new forty years ago. I have burned good rails in my time, but I did not know as much then as I do now. Horticultural Irrigation. The Rural Rural Carolinian points out that the common method of watering ,planta and young trees is very unphilosphical, since it insures irrigation only for the mere surface, and not to the roots. In the case of young trees and large herbace -ous plants the best way is to carefully scrape away the soil around them to the depth of an inch or two, form:ng a shal low basin into which sufficient water should be poured to moisten well the ground as deeply and as widely as the roots extend. When the water has soak ed in, the dry earth should be returned, which will prevent a speedy evaporatidn. Among small plants, which cannot be treated in this way, make holes with iron rod or a sharpend stake several inches in death and fill the holis with water, which trlll time mach the deepest note.

Drugs and Medicines. a. ',‘ California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation. made chiefly from the native herbs found on tho lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal pro perties of which are extracted therefrom without tile use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, " What is the cansa of the unparalleled success of VESEO2IIt Brr- Tuns? " Onr answer is, that they remove the armee of disease, and the patient recov ers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of V.u.-sous Brrrsas in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or In flammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. If men will enjoy good health, let them nse Vryncisat llyrrEss as a medicine, and avoid the use of alcoholic stimulants in every form. No Person can lake these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their hones are not de stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Gratefu I Thousands proclaim 17r...-nosn BrrrEns the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. Bilious, Remittent, and Intermit tent Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of out great rivers throughout the United States, espeehdly those of the Mis sissippi, Ohio, liEssoari, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, lied, Colorado, Bra zos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah,Roanoke,Jaines,and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer nod Au tumn. and remarkably so during Reasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially nee frtnry. There is no cathartic for the purpose . dual to Do. ,T.

Sore Eyes, etc., etc. In these, as in all other constitu tional Diseases, WiLLars's Vmr.nes Brrricas have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys, and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases aro caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases. —Persona en. gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels.

Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurk ing in tho system of so manythoimands, aro effectually destroyed and removed. No sys tem of medicine, no vermifuges, no anthel minitics, will free the system from worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married orsingle, at the dawn of wom anhood or the turn oilife, these Tonic Bit ters display so decided au influence that improvement is soon perceptible.
