HOUSE PLANTS IN WINTER
The great obstacle to the health and
beauty of house plants kept in living
rooms in Winter is the dryness and heat
of the atmosphere of such rooms. This
is a difficult matter to provide for. Many
who love to beautify their dwellings with
these cheerful pots cannot afford the ex
pense of Wardian cases and other elah
orate devices for providing a separate at
mosphere for their plants. A good sub
stitute is made by settuag 'the pots into a
broad,. shallffw box, and filling the space
between the pots with moss. Then lay
over all a smooth coat of muss, covering
everything but the earth immediately
around the plants lu the pots. The moss
should then be kept moderately damp.
This arrangement not only adds much to
the appearance of the plants,-giving the
effect of their growing directly from the
bed- of bright green moss—but the con
tinual evaporation from the moss will im
part a considerable degree of humidity to
the air immediately surrounding the
plants. If the bOx is lined with zinc it
adds. very much to its durability. In ad
dition to any such arrangement the leaves
of the
_plants shell' be frequently washed
or syringed.
To protect plant from freezing nights
nothing is more si plc and effectual than
newspapers folded around them. A sin
gle thickness of a newspaper folded around
a tender plant is sufficient protection_
against a moderate degree of frost. The
most convenient form for the paper is that
of a conical cap. It is quickly slipped on
at night and off in the morning.—Buffado
Express.
STRAWBERRIES IN THE FALL.
Mr. J. G. Mask Moosefield, Wesi4Vir
fimia, Geniis to the Country Gentleman
the following . acconnt of strawberry cul
ture as practiced by Mr. S.A. McMechan,
. of the same place, who had very fireiand
large berries (sobae measuring over three
inches in circumference) about the 20th
of October:
The strawberry which has borne this
fall crop is the Agriculturist, and the. se
cret.of its tuns• bearing out of season is
only the result of good ruttare; any one
who desires to have fine strawberries in
. October can have them (barring very un
favorable seasons) by following his mode
of managing the plants. In the first place
- it must be borne in mind that the straw
berry planted in August will make crowns
of &tilt buds the following summer, for
bearing the text year and under ordinary
cultivation as-commonly practiced, will
not bear after the fruit has been gathered
from its original buds, until the second
year after planting. In the above case
the strongest young runners were plant
ed out in August in a square in a friend's
private garden, which had been made
' very, fine and rich. The young plants
were well put-in and well attended to un
til well rooted, and were then kept clean,
and before the weather set in coil were
well mulched with tan. They we:.e thus
well protected through the winter, and
after a nice cleaning and running over
in the spring, the same mulch vas re
turned, and the young 'runners wee care
fully kept off during the whole season.
After the crop had been removed, the bed
was well cleaned, all dead leaves, stems,
etc., picked off, and a good shallow work
._ ing given, the mulch of course beirg, con
tinued. By this course of treatment and
a propitious season, the newly brmed
- crowns or Vida which were formel, and
which would not have borne fruit under
ordinary treatment until the following
summer, were stimulated or forcel into
maturity the present season, and sore a
very fine crop -of perfectly ripened ber
ries, of the very largest size which the
Agriculturist is capable of attaining—
many specimens measuring over-an inch
an diameter.
Present success' has determined the
owner to try the same course the coming .
season on a more extended scale, and up
on other varieties. It is my opinion that
'in this, or some such course of treatment,
a crop of this fruit might be produced in
September and October as certaitly as
in June, in out-door culture. These I
plants were cultivated in hills or bunches
two feet apart each way. -
PROFAGATENG vrs. - Es BY ETES
When the proper time arrives for prun
ing, preserve the prunings by sticking
them in the ground, or in a flower pot
filled with rather moist, but not very wet
soil, In January,. or early in. February,
. you may prepare the eyes by malting on
the bull of the shoot, opposite the eye, a
-cut with a sharp knife, bringing the knife
out almost three quarters of au inch below
the eye. The same proceeding is to be
repeated, bringing the knife out above the
. eye, and you have an eye with a portion
of wood aboie and below it, and slanting
from the back to. the side on which the
eye is situated. The eyes, when prepared,
are to be inserted-in pots or pans filled to
within an inch with turfy, light loam;
the eyes being placed either horizontally
or vertically, about an inch and a half
apart, and covered with half an, inch of
fine soil: They should be placed in a
house or frame ?where there is a hot-bed,.
in which . they'-sliould be plunged; the
temperature being not more than 00 deg.,
nor less than 75 deg: Tire top heat may
be from GO deg. to 65 leg. at night, and
75 deg. by day, and 80 or J 35 deg. with nI
sun heat. The soil ought •to be kept
moist, but not wet, until the eyes have
begun to grow; then keep it moist, afford
ing a light syringing morning and even
ing. When the eyea . hare pushed a few
inches, they may • be, taken up carefully,
and potted off singly; and it' kept in
hot-bed, and a moist atmosphere is pre
served Tor a time, they will grow freely.
The.young vines thus produced must be
repotted as often as the pots become filled
with roots. Give them their last shift
about June.—Journal of Horticulture,
HOW TO FATTHN H/CICRNS.
We make the followin extract from an
_article on this subject in the London
Cottage Gardener:
"It is hopeless to attem t to fatten them
while they are at liberty: They - must be
put in a proper coop; and this, like moat
all appurtenances, 'need not be expensive.
To fatten twelve fowls, a coop may be
three feet. Mug, eighteen inches high and
eighteen inches (Jeep, made entirely of
bars. ' No part of it solid—neither top,
•eides nor bottom. Discretion must be
used according to the sizes of the chickens
put up. They do not want room, indeed,
.the closer they are the better—provided
they can: all stand up at the same time.
Care must Le taken to put up such as
have been accustomed lo be together, or
they will fight. If one is quarrelsome, It
_
is better to remove it at once, as, like
otherbatUvx4ripkw;iLsoorilinds-im.ita4:
tors. A dpeased chicken should not i.e
put up.
"The food should be ground oats, and
may either he put in a trough or on a flat
hoard running along the front of the
coop. Irmay be mixed with water or
milk, the latter is better. It should be
well soaked, forming a pulp as loose as
can be, provided it does not run off the
board. They must be well fed three or
four times per day—the first time as SeIMI
after daybreak as may be possible or con
venient, and' then at intervals of four
hours. Each meal he as much
and no more than they can eat up clean.
When they hate done feeding the , board
should be wiped, .and some gravel may
be spread. causes them to feed and
thrive.
After a fortnight•of this treatment you
will have good fat fowls. It', however,
there are but four or six to be fatted, they
Must not have as much room as though
there were twelve. Nothing is 'easier
than to allot them the proper space; as it
is only necessary to have two or three
pieces of wood to put between the bars,
- fdrm a partition. This may also
strve When fowls are up at different de
grees of fatness. This: requires atten
tion, or fowls will not keep fat and
healthy,
As soon as the •fowl is sufficiently fat
ted it must be killed; otherwise it will
still get fat, but it kiln lose flesh. If fowls
are intended for the market, of course
they are, or may be, all fatted at once; but
if for home consumption it is better to
put them up at such intervals as will suit
the time when they will be required for
the table.
When the, time arrives for killing,
whether - they are meant for market or
otherwise, they should be fasted without
food or water for twelve or fifteen hours.
This enables them to be kept for some
time after being killed even lu hot
weather."
A GOOD ROT BED
An exchange says : One of the first
things to which we would call yt ur at
tention is that of the early preparation of
hot-beds; and, although very simple, and
generally understood, it may be well to
give our plan and . views in reference to
their structure, etc. After saeciing the
position, which should be entirely ex
posed to the sun, make a frame the size
you want the bed, one side as muchlower
than the opposite one as to cause the wa
ter to run off rapidly, when a cover of
glass or boards is put on. It is best to
sink the frame several inches, digging out
the earth the full size. Place it so as to_
slope towards the South, and then, being
ready for manure, put it in to the depth of
six or eight inches, fresh from the horse
stable. The next thing to be done is to
cover With dirt several inches deep, and
wait for the heating process. The tem-'
perature can be regulated by putting on
more or less dirt; and this we regard as
the most difficult point to determine, as
some seeds require, or can stand snore
heat than others. Great pains should he
taken just before sowing the seed. Every
clod should be broken and thoroughly
pulverized, and after the seed is sown,
roll or slightly pack, the surface. _
To successfully manage a hot-bed and a
variety of plants,
one must' have been
schooled to the business. Nothing re
quires more care and attention . , and to
point out in detail every particular nec
essary to be done, would require more
time and space, perhaps, than our readers
would justify.
CURING POLL EY/L.—l had a horse
that was pronounced incurable of the
poll-evil, as the horse doctor had given
him up to die. I thought I would try an
experiment. T. laid open — the swelling
with a knife and forced it to riin• ' after it
had run twenty-four hours I wasllecr, out
the incision with soap and wattr, and
sprinkled quick lime into the cavity. This
process of washing out and liming I re
peated every twenty•four hours for about
two weeks, as.the end of which time the
Swelling had gone down and the sore
healed over. This I did two years ago
last November, and there is no sign of
the return of the poll-evil. I would ad
vise a trial.
FELON o THE FINGER.—ThiS Often
gives the greatest distress and pain. To
cause it to break, construct a leather
thimble, fill it with soap and lime mixed
together, then thrust into the tnimble the
finger or thumb that may be affected.
After the felon breaks, -dress it with a
poultice made from the pulp of a roasted
scoke root, the effect of which will be
most soothing and delightful. A cure
soon follows. In some parts of the coun
try this plant goes by the name of "poke"
instead of scoke, the true name. It bears
numerour clusters of berries, which pig
eons and other oirds are very fond of.
To LOOSEN NUTS ON BOLTS.—Place
the head of an ax, iron wedge, or other
solid substance on one side of the nut,
and give a few smart blows with a ham
mer on the other. Wetting with spirits
of turpentine or coal oil will also be a
benefit.
lIISCELLAI`.;£OIIS
A MAINE MAN gives his method of
treating baulky horses as follows: "Let
me inform humane men and hostlers, and
all who hold the rein, that the way. to
cure baulky horses is to take them from
the carriage and whirl them rapidly
round till they are giddy. It requires
two men to accomplish this—one at the
horse's tail. Don't let him step out.
liold him to the smallest possible circle.
One dose will often cure him; two doses
generally will; three doses are final with
the worst horse that ever refused to stir."
SOUTRERN VIRGINIA and upper. North
Carolina furnish the principal supply of
peanuts for the United States. Fifty
bushels to the acre are easily raised, and
find a ready market at $2,50 per bushel.
They do best in a thin, poor soil, and re
quire lime only as a specific fertilizer.
During the war peanuts were converted
into oil for lamps in this section. The
demand for them is constantly on the in
crease, and the varied uses to which they
are put render them a very profitable
crop; Farmers in this region frequently
plant as much as fifty acres of peanuts
and grow them in hills about the same
distance apart as sweet potatoes.
IF old hay is well stacked, or in the
barn, it is worth about as much the sec
ond year as the first. It is a good plan to
keep over a few stacks to meet the emer
gency-of a short hay crop. It is a poor
plan to buy hay when it bears the highest
price. The most thrifty farmershave hay
to sell in years of short grass crops, and
the extra price pays very well for keep
ing.
NESIDENT &MIR, of the Alton Horti
cultural Society says to prepare new oak
barrels for wine or cider; use one pound
of alum and four or five pounds of salt, to
four bucketsfull of wat7 ; heat boiling
hot an i put one bucket at a time in a bar-

LIME water is most beneficial for an oc
casional drink to fowls. It is a preven
tive of many diseases, and assists the for
mation of bone and ezas. It should he
prepared as follows: Pour over (pita:-
lime some warm water, and when the
lime has slacked and settled, draw the
clear water rff, which cm be kept for a
considerable time. The lime will he use
ful for whitewashing.
A FARMERAVIIO has bad largr, expel
ence _in feeding cabbage and turnips to
coiv§, says his practice is to feed immedi
ately after milking—never before—and he
has -never been troubled with the milk
being flavored. He also says he feeds
turnips whole, with the tops on, as there
is no danger from choking when fed in
this way.
WE know of-no good reason why peas
should not be more generally raised in
the Northern States. They are a very
common crop in Canada, and from thirty
to forty bushels are grown to the acre, on
good soil. They are much used in 1 feed
ing swine and sh ep, and make pork and
mutton of the bet quality;
MANY an unsi htiy slough-hole in the
fields, if sodded; and seeded with young
willows, to catch and keep the rainfalls,
would make a capital resorvoir of water
for the use of stock. •It is frequently
done in England.
.141k.tiv value mules more than horses.
They live longer, are tougher, require
less food and a smaller harness, and can
jump higher. - i
WREN the millenium of farming is
reached, white clover will be valued
equally with red clover.
An Inbhie Look at
Things are in terrible shape here. ,For
ty or tiny Congressinel going out for
good next March, and only anxious to go
out with full pockets. The lobby is here
with a million of dollars, which is' eing
paid out with perfect reeklessness. .All
the subsidy schemes are in combination,
and nothing in earth or heaven but Ulyss
es S. Grant could save the country from
robbery to the• extent of two hundred
millions between now and March. Grant
is making a regular campaign of it; talks
of nothing else; lobbies as persistently as
"the other fellows;" declares that no man
need expect anything from his—adminis
tratiOn, who takes any part in the rascAl
lv schemes of the lobby, and apparently
will just be able to pull through. Noth
ing can save us if he does not. Andrew
Johnson's administration is going out
in a flood of corruption, The only hope
is to stave off action on any anti every
subject, until we have An honest man in
the White House.
