DECEMBER WORK
PEAS.—The principal crop of peas
should be planted in this month, and the
earlier the better. The Dwarf Itlarrowfat
and Green Imperial are generally prefer
red. Knight's Dwarf Marrnwfat are high
ly spoken of. At the same time we should
recommend some of the early varieties to
he planted, such as the Early Frame, Ear
ly Charleston, Bishop's dwarf,
These will come into bearing earlier than
the first mentioned. The tall varieties
should be planted in rows five feet apart—
the Frame and Charleston. four feet, and
the Dwarf varieties, front eighteen inches
to three feet. They should be hoed fre
quently, which will materially assist their
growth, and as soon as they aro high e
nough, say about six inches, they should
be stuck. If planted in single broad rows,
one row of sticks will be sufficiet* In
cutting them out of the woods, let all the
twigs and stnull branches remain their full
length, and when using them, stick them
obliquely, and not more than one-half will
be required, of what would have been nec
essary, if they had been stuck straight, as
the branches will act as conductors for the
young peas to climb on. Peas should not
be highly manured ; it causes them to grow
too much to vines, and they do not produce
as well as when only moderately =floret].
SPENAGE.-YOU will continue sowing
crops of this vegetable—either the round or
prickly will succeed and in fact I have
never discovered any difference in this re
spect betwen them. We prefer, however,
the new variety called the Flanders Spin
age. It is far superior to the old varieties.
ONIONS.-W here small sets can be ob
tained, or where they have been, from seeds
sown in the summer, this will be an excel
lent time for planting them out. Form
small beds, four feet wide, manure it with
rotten manure, and plant the sets in rows
pine inches apart
CARROTS, BRIMS, SALSIFY AND PARNS-
Nies.--Should either of the above be want
ed, a small quantity should be sown, but
the chance of success will be small, unless
great care he taken of them, and protection
alrordeil theM whenever the weather is se
vere. They will paticularly require pro
tection when they are coming up, and
whilst young.
Csansos.-11 it has been neglected, this
will be a very good time to sow cabbage
seeds for spring use. The early York and
Emperor are to be preferred. The Sugar
Loaf and Battersea will succeed these.—
Sow on a seed bed, and make a shelter over
them with pine boughs or straw. Let the
covering be from two to three feet above
them.
RADtsuEs.—lf the weather should prove
mild, a small quantity may be sown in
someprotected spot, or they may be protec
ted in cold weather by a little straw thrown
over them, which, however, must not re
main long on them, but should be removed
as early as practicable.
IRISH POTATOES.—It is not usual to
plant Irish potatoes until February or
March ; Yet for an early crop, we would
recommend some to be planted in this
month,, let them be buried deep and be
well manured. They lie x long while in
the ground, and will not come up before
February, unless the winter is very mild.
They will, in all probability, have their
tops killed several times ; but if they have
not advanced so far - air to form tubers, this
will be of no consequence, as the tops will
be killed only to the first joints below the
surface, and new shoots will spring up,
while the lower part will be sending out
roots, anidestablishing itself, and will, if it
escape entiredestruction, poduce earlier tu
bers than those planted so late as not to be
injured at all by the frosts. Should, how
vier, tubers, ever so small, be formed on
the shouts, and a frost occur afterwards,
the plants will be killed in nine eases out
of ten, to the very routs. Some risk is to
be °immolated, and we recommend, on
thititcrount, a few to be planted now.
W Y OMING HORSES.—Tiltse should be
well fed, wordily •hedded, cleanly bedded
and curried and rubbed down twice a day.
The it food should be given them thrice a
a day, and they should be watered
as often ; they should receive salt or a mix

writers—to open a field for young Writers of
merit—and, in tine, to cultivate a Natio:oil Pe
riodical Literature, which shall command re
spect at home and abroad.
"%Virile all the other monthly periodicals are
crumbling to decay, and resorting to every ex

"Graham" pursues the oven tenor of its way,
proudly at the head of the periodical literature
of the day—with its 50,000 readers, gradually
widening its influence, and extending its circit

of giving the best, both in Literature and .Irt,
