We find the foBowing in the .Report of
the Committee on Vegetables made to the
Middlesex North Agricultural Society:
Fifteen or twenty years ago, it was com
parative fun to taisp cabbages; today, the
little destructives, where home is legion,
have nude a successful crop, other things
bciog equal, almost accidental.
First comes the little flee, who commen
ces on the just developed 1 avis aud often
finishes them; i.ext the maggot, who loves
the root:; Aftei tran-planting, the cat
worm presents hi< claim, generally no mod
est one; he makes clean work, cutting the
plant clean off. cither at or just below, the
surface. If you have successfully avoided
this little army ot marauders, your crop is'
still open to the attacks of lice aud the club
feet. - -
In raising plants ior re^etiiog, I select
an elevated, comparatively new, ard but
moderately rich, piece of ground; elevated
because the flea is less destructive, than on
low grounds; nearly new, t avoid cloob foot
and maggot, and not over rich, that the
plauts may he toughened by a slow growth;
upon re-settiu; into a richer soil they will
commence a rapid, vigorous develop
ment. '• -• t ji
As soon as the twin leaves show them
selves they should be ducted with lime ev
ery moruiog aud after rains. To secure
plants from a lew choice seeds, make
squaro frame with sides, six inches high,
and coxer with a mosquito cloth, I prefer
transplanting rather than sowing seed in
hills because then, if you lose your plants
itis generally too late to sow again, and
you arc obliged to uso whatever plants may
happen to come to hand. i
It is a habit with many farmers to set
plants upon a fresh upturned sod; it seems
to me the better way to plant potatoes first,
then follow with cabbages; the cut worm
is less troublesome, aud the laud is iu l et-
ter-couditioD. - . i s
With regard to manure, I 1 avc always
used night-soils and muck compost with
salt, exclusively, not attempting even a
small percentage of stable fertilizers, for
fear of club foot; I cannot ou my grounds
raise cabbage; on tho same ground oltiner
than ohse in four year.
A G. Swan.
.Bringing in Clover;—White clover
will not come iuto any soil by any process
whatever where the seed is not already
sown. Ou most old meadows and pastures
the seeding has been going ou for many
generations, and it is so abundant, that
when the land is down in grass, no white
clovei seed is sown with timothy and red-
top. It takes care of itself, and is seen iu
the hay afterward for several seasons, and
then disappears. It is highly esteemed for
hay, an 1 makes the Dairy feed. This very
desirable feed may be secured in many old
pastures by sowing plaster at tho rain of a
bushel or two to the acre.
The action, perhaps, has uever been sa*-
istactorily explained, hut it does act, aud
the dormant seeds sprout, and the field is
thickly strewn with clover blossoms the
next season. Iu many districts the pas
tures have been coinplete'y renovated, and
arc kept iu high condition by this cheap
fertilizer. Fecdiug with sheep on some
farms greatly Increases the growth ol white
clover. Spreading stable manure, compost
or ashes, secures the same result. Burning
over very old pastures, especially if infest
ed with brias and brush-heap-, helps the
growth of clover uud the grasse- - . Some
times scarifying an old moss-bound sod with
a harrow has au excellent effect, ana gives
a new start to the grass. Almost any pas-
t ire will improve by close feeding, if the
animals arc suffered to remain upon it at
uight—Anler. Agricultural.
Honey and Oueaui.— Hooey alone, says
omc lady, is ejusideted quite delicious
enough, hut With the addition of cream it
is almost heyoud do eri) lion, and, so far
IV-iii being made too rich, it car. be eateo
\,j many '.villi whom honey otherwise disa
grees.
IT'i.r.i no Hay.— Mr. Peter Welilellow,
the T.degraph and Messenger, uses the
lowing language: “It injures the land to
lmil oil il e hay. Il is often dangerous for
the slock to oat it. for it is uever cut, hut
always pulled up with dirt, and that after
the frost has sapped it of all su -stanee.”
Mr Peter Wellfollow disapproves of rais-
iug hay. \Ye should rather think he would
if he had to pull it It would be better
i to pull fodder We teally did no:
suppose that there was a spot 10 Georgia
ii which they “pulled hay.” Rut it seems
there arrsueh spots and in them they dis
approve of auy attention to hay. VY1 at
would such persons think of ten acres of
smooth meadow tut down by a horse mower
iu a day, spread and raked by horse power,
pitched into the wagon aud then lifted into
the barn, without being once touched by
baud, from the first stroke of the mower
until it has found its resting place. We
advise M r. Wclfellow to travel.
Hog Manure KitLiNn Api-le Turn's
—A writer id the Cincinnati Gaz“tte says
that two years agn he wheeled out fresh
ling manure mixed with the corn cobs,.and
put a wheelfiarrowful around each you, _
apple tree, which had been set oat "about
five or six years years' previously, resulting
iu the loss of several nice young trees; the
bark of the trees seemed burned or scald
ed just above the ground.
To Make Hanging Baskets.—Hav-
inj coaxed father nr some of the boys to
fo<;m your basket for you of wire f-which
they can readily do with a pair of piuccrs)
proceed to wrap it ro"nd with yarn, or, as
I prefer, with candle wick. Then take the
yarn and go all over it, tying good hi;
knots—letting the cuds hang down’from
each knot about half an inch. If “you have
no one to make a wire basket for yon, take
old hoops with the bark on and tic your
knots and ends over it tue sauc. way. Then
to make the .wax take me pound of bees
wax, three ounces rosin, one ounce olive
oil, and place them in a vessel over the fire.
Let them bail some time.
Green Basket —Take one ounce of
verdigris powdered, or. if yon wish the col
or very bright, use crystals of verdigris. Iu
trying these receipts, if the colors are not
deep enough to suit', add more of the col
oring-i.at’er aud dip again. Be careful lo
stir the mixture thoroughly aud keep turn
ipg the basket so as to give it an even coat
ing.
Blue Basket. —Take ono ounce of vei-
digris, powdered, and one onuce of smalt
well powdered. For a light blue verditcr
may he used, or, with more advantage, :i
mixture of both.
Purple Basket.—Take half the quan
tity of Vermillion for an equal or greater
proportion of smalt, according as pnrple is
derired—bluer or redder.
Home Love.—Home love has a sweet
poetry of its own, created out of the sim
plest materials, and haunting, more or less,
tho secret recesses of every humau heart:
or rather it is divided into a thousand sep
arated poems, full of individual interest, and
littlo quiet touches of feeling,'aud golden
recollections interwoven with our very bc-
inr; common things hallowed and made
beautiful by the spell of memory aDd asso
ciation, and owing all the glory to the hat-
low of a fond affection. The eye of a stran
ger rests oddly on 3uch revclatioos; their
simple pathos is hard to be understood, and
persons smile oft eutimes at the quaintness
of those passages which make others waep.
With the beantifnl instinct of true affec
tion, home love retains only the good.—
There were clouds theu„even as now, dark
ening the horizon of every day life, and
brraking in tears or wild storms above onr
beads; but we remember noihiog save the
sunshine, and fancy somehow that it has
never shown so brightly since.
Cleaning Floor Cloths.—These may
be cleaned with a mixture of magnesia on
ly milk warm, followed by warm water, iu
the same manner that carpets are cleansed.
They should be rubbed with dry flannel un
til nearly dry, then wet over with aspooge
dipped io milk, and immediately dried and
rubbed with a flannel till the polish is re
stored. This is a process much to be pre
ferred to that ofrubbiug tho cloth with wax
which leaves it sticky and liable to retain
dust and dirt for a long time. Very hot
water should Dcver be used iu clcauiug floor
cloths, as it brings off the paint.
Angel’s Food.—This is made ol orsag-
cs peeled, cut in slices and between each
layer sprinkle with desicatcd cocoauut and
sugar, let it stand au hour or tw > and thcD
cat with cream. In all case) orange and
lemon seeds must be carefully removed, as
they destroy everything by their bitter fla
vor.
Washing Fluid.—We have lately tried’
wash ng fluid which has proved very suc
cessful in extracting the dirt from cotton
aud iiuu'-u, and the proportions are such
that they cauuol injure the clothe :
Fivepouudsol sal soda,
Oue pound of borax.
Half a pound of fresh uoslackcd lime.
Four ounces salts of tartar.
Three ounces liquid uminoo'a.
Dissolve the soda aud borax io one gal
lon of boiling water; when well mixed, pour
in tlic liquid ammonia aud salts of tartar.
Boil the half pound of lime for Eve minutes
in one gallon of water; set it aside to settle,
and when clear, pour it off carefully, uot
allowing auy sediuicnt to mingle with it.
Pour tho two gallons of solution together,
and luru upon them eight gallons -of cold
water. Put into a cask or jug.
The night before washing, take six table-
spoonfuls to a tub filled with elotbes, mix
ing it with four pails of warm water. Soak
them over night; next moruiog add hot wa
ter enough to wash the clothes with good
soap suds. Boil tho claths. Wash out
aut another tub full of cloths iu the samo
water used for the firrt boiler.
One trial of this fluid will show its good
oficci. _ •
An exc- llent soft soap can be maufaetur-
ed from this compouad. Take one quart
of the fluid; slice into it three pounds of
yellow bar soap, and add to it two pound*
of ail snda. Boil it iu three gallons -of
water for ten minutes, aud it will make four
gallons of soft soap which will prove une
qualled tor all purposes wherein soap is
needed.
In using these receipts for washiog, the
cloths do not need to boil more than half
an hour, au I iu many cases persons prefer
to pour boiling water upon them, and let'
them Bland until it is cool enough to wring
out. By thus doing, it is thought the
clothes arc whiter.
These recipes have been sold through the
country at high prices, and a good deal of
money has been made from their manufac-
facture.— Comity Gentleman.
There was a pedlar in this city, not' lung
since, selling the above receipt for $1, and
wo understand, sold a good many. If is
said to be a-good receipt.
Sugar Jumbles.—Six cups of wheat
fleur sifted; two cups of sugar ditto; oue
cop of butter wanned; one of sour milk;
one teaspoon of saleratus seirred into milk;
roll out with flour enough to make tliiu; cut
a hole iu the center, aud sift sugar all ovor
the •‘•akes. Bade ou flat tins from twenty
minutes to half a-i hour.
Soaking Meet Seed.
Whenever beet seeds are sown late in
the season, their germination may he has
tened by snakinn them a few : ours in
warm water. If a seed drill is used, rol
ling in dry plaster, ashes or. some similar
substance will be uececssivy to absorb the
moisture on the surface and allow them to
readily separate.

How to Bore Holes is Glai
hard steel tool will cut glass with
cility when kept freely wet with
dissolved in turpentine. A drill bow may
be used, or even the hand alone. A hole
bored may bo readily enlarged by a round
file. The ragged cd^cs of glass vessels
may alio be thus easily smoothed by a flat
file. Flat window -glass can readily he saw
ed bv a watch spring saw by the aid of this
solution. In short, the most brittle glass
can be wrought almost as easy as brass by
the use ot cutting tools kept c -ustaatly
moist with camphorizcd oil of turpentine.

Mess as J. A. S. Cones A Co:—Dear Sirs:—I have given
the 16 inch Mill (Coloman*s) bought of yon, a thorough test,
and can best express myself perfectly satisfied,
The Potver applied was tie running gear of my Gin,
which, although in very bad order, was sufficient to grind
ONE BUSIIEL of Gum, (by the watch), in ELEVEN
MINUTES.
I find it no trouble ti> do all my grinding before breakfast.
Several of my neighbors were present at ia«s time, and all
were perfectly satisfied with tho result, and astonished at
tLe quality of meal produced in so short a time. I prefer
tho meal fo any Steam Mill meal. i-.i
Respectfully yours,
