PLANTATION TOPICS.
THE SECRET OF GROWING CAULIFLOW
ERS-
( oniparatively few people, not pro
fessional gardeners, succeed well with
the cauliflower, and this delicious
vegetable is still a rare luxury.
But, certain essential conditions j
being assured, it is as easy to grow
as the cabbage. The grand secret
of its culture lies in two words —
manure and moisture. Given these,
in sufficient quantity—mark this
last condition—and the grand flower
head comes as a matter of course. If
you are accustomed to manure heavily
for cabbages, double the dose for your
cauliflowers. Plant four feet apart
each way, cultivate frequently, keeping
the soil loose and mellow. When the
plants are well grown and the time
approaches for them to commence to
bean, mulch around the plants, or,
better still, the whole bed to the depth
of two inches or more with stable
manure, watering the plants through
the mulch, if the weather be dry. In
this climate cauliflowers, like cabbages,
must be grown during the cool seasons
of fall and spring, making the plant
ing for fall crop in July, August, or
September, according to the latitude
and season, and for the spring crop,
from November to February, giving
those planted in the fall slight winter
protection.
THE WILD GOOSE PLUM AT THE NORTH.
The Country Gentleman says some
good words for this plum as follows:
“A few young trees on our grounds
fruited for the first time this year.
Although of quite moderate quality,
this plum, we think, is destined to be
come extensively planted. In appear
ance and texture it considerably resem
bles the old cherry plum, being bright
red, fibrous and juicy. The speci
mens generally measured an inch or
more in the shortest diameter, and
about an inch and a third of an inch
ami a half long. The time of ripen
ing was the first and second week in
August. Specimens picked while yet
hard, and with a light shade of red,
and placed in a drawer, ripened in a
few days into a brilliant red. From
this we infer that they would be ad
mirably adapted to distant conveyance
to market. Many of the plums were
stung by the curculio, but the thick
skin and character of the flesh pre
vented the larvae from doing much or
any harm, and the fruit was invaria
bly good and fair. We think this
plum might be extensively planted
for market, even in the north, as it
will grow vigorously on soils not
adapted to the common varieties of
the plum, and it is not affected by
the black knot, and we question if
the curculio, with a moderate amount
of attention, will ever do it much in
jury. It is hard to tell beforehand,
however, what these insects may un
dertake or accomplish.”
VALUE OF THE TAP-ROOT OF TREES.
Trees procured from nurseries will
be found to have had their tap-roots
cut off, and the nurserymen contend
that this is a benefit rather than a
damage. Be this as it may, we can
not well transplant trees with the tap
root entire and uninjured. To have
trees with perfect tap-roots,as nature
designed, they must be planted where
they are to grow, and grafted or
budded without removal. Some con
tend that this would give us healthy,
thrifty, long-lived orchards, such as
are seldom seen nowadays. Cultiva
tion, throughout, is an artificial pro
cess, and the argument from nature’s
methods is not always sound; but we
are inclined to think there may be
something in the suggestion we have
quoted, Experiment, however, is bet
ter than theory in such matters. Let
the plan of planting the seed where
the trees are to grow and grafting the
seedlings in their original position be
tried.
MEASURING CORN IN THE CRIB.
the Southern Rural Gentleman savs
that the following rules have often been
put to the most critical test by the most
thorough, as well as the most practical
mathematicians of the southwest, and
the people using them may rely upon
their being accurately correct.
If measured in feet:
Ist. Shucked Corn; measure the
length, width, and depth of the crib in
feet; multiply these three dimensions
together, and their product by eight,
then cut off two figures to the right;
those on the left will be so many bar
rels, and those cut off so many hun
dredths of a barrel.
2d. Unslmcked Corn; multiply
the three dimensions in feet, as in rule
first, and their product by five and two
thirds; cut offtwo figures to the right,
and the result will be barrels and
hundreths, as in rule first.
If measured in inches :
•hi. Shucked Corn; take the di
mensions in inches and miqtiply them
together; take one half of the product
and divide it by 2150, and you have
the bushels ofshelledcorn, which divide
by 3 to reduce to barrels.
4th. Unshucked Corn; multiple
the dimensions as in rule third, and
then take one-third of their product,
and divide it by 2150, the result will be
as in rule third.
MAKE THE FiRM ATTRACTIVE.
How to make life in the country
mo .™ attractive and pleasant to their
children, a correspondent of the Coun
f !- v gentleman says, is a subject that
should engage the attention of farmers
as a class. Yet how generally is this
thought left to village and city resi
dents, who make the country a summer
resort to escape the heat and dust of
the city for a brief portion of the year.
Contrast any country district adjoin
ing or easily accessible to any of our
great cities with sections more remote,
and how great the difference! The
and is better tilled, the fences in better
condition, and all improvements which
enhance the value of the property, and
'omote the happiness of the inhabit
ants, are vastly superior. Some <f
those are doubtless due to superior
markets, and correspondingly higher
prices for the products of the soil," but
more to the enterprise and intelligence
of the owners of the soil. If prices
are higher near the city, so is labor.
Moreover, those improvements that
do most to increase the comfort and ren
der country life desirable, are not of the
most costly character, and are within
the reach of every enterprising farmer.
Costly ornaments may be left to those
who have the means to lavish on them.
But every country mansion should be
surrounded by shade trees to protect it,
or rather its inmates, from the cold
blasts of winter, as well as the intense
heat of summer. The trees are within
the reach of all, at a trifling expense,
and in many cases with no expense
save the planting, and yet how many
dwellings remain for years without a
single tree to shield them. The road
ways, too, could be lined with trees,
with little or no disadvantage to the ad
joining lands, and with great advantage
to the passer-by, including the owners,
and as, in most towns, cattle and all an
imals are properly excluded from a
vagabond life in the highways, these
shade and ornamental trees * may be
planted outside of the fences with
safety.
11 the Patrons of this country would
take hold of this important subject
once iii earnest, how easily they could
line the highways of the whole country
with beautiful ornamental trees, and
tax themselves but lightly in time or in
money.
Does any one doubt the desirability
of such improvement? Let such a
one drive along a public road where
even one farmer has by forethought
and a little enterprise, years before
such visit, planted such trees, and con
trast his impressions with those
awakened by a look at his own barren
highways, and then judge. The fact is,
such investments cost comparatively
little, and never fail to pay largely.
No one can pass such a property
without half wishing that he owned it,
and it he is ready and able to purchase,
he is willing to pay well for such im
provement. So it is with the more
substantial comforts of a country life.
They are within the reach of all, and
cost comparatively little. All that
is needed is forethought and a little
well-timed labor. Of such comforts
are the small fruits, which many
farmers never see in their own
dwellings. Grapevines are as easily
cultivated as corn. Strawberries,
raspberries, and blackberries should
occupy a few rods on every farm.
Most of the drudgery, monotony
and deprivation of farm life, result
from stupidity. It is commonly
thought by those who live along for
years on corn meal and potatoes, that
these luxuries are too costly for poor
farmers. This is all nonsense. No
class of people in the world can secure
them so easily and so certainly. City
people know little of these luxuries in
t heir perfection, as they rarely get them
fresh from the fields; and if the farmer
would only use his opportunities, his
family will seldom complain of their
situation.
HOW TO MODIFY OUR INSTRUCTIONS.
When we speak of planting peas in
November and December, our sugges
tions are good for our latitude, but we
expect readers in south Florida, or in
northern Virginia, and even in the
more distant parts of our own State, to
make the necessary allowances for
difference in climate. Our dates must
be considered movable, and may be
carried backward or forward, accord
ingly as the reader’s latitude may be
north or south of ours. From five
days to a week for each degree of lati
tude may be taken as a general rule in
measuring climatic differences, but to
this there will be many exceptions,
depending upon the distance from the
ocean, altitude, the physical conforma
tion of the country, and the character
of the soil. In the same latitude, too,
the time for performing many horticul
tural operations will vary considerably
with the varying seasons. The reader
is always supposed to have brains and
to use them, otherwise books and mag
azines will be of little use. —Rural Car
olinian for November.
A VICIOUS CIRCLE IN FARMING.
A correspondent of the Southern
Plantation is reminded of the anecdote
which the Professor of political econ
omy, in the University of Virginia,
used to tell:
A Pennsylvanian one day hearing a
Virginia gentlemen boasting of the
large crop of corn he expected to make
on a farm, remarked, “Colonel, you
must make a great deal of corn to sell.”
“ No, sir, I never sell corn. What we
don’t eat I give to my hogs.” “Oh! I
beg pardon, you’re a dealer in bacon.”
“No, sir, I don’t sell bacon, I give it
to my negroes.” “And pray, Colonel,
what do you do with your negroes?”
“ What do Ido with them? Why, sir,
they make my corn.” This is the
circle, only a smaller one, which most
ol our farmers pursue. They make
cotton to buy meat, mules, etc., and
they buy meat, mules, etc., to make
•cotton; and when the cotton is not
sufficient for this purpose, they buy on
credit, and mortgage their mules, land,
etc., for payment. But an industry
needsno be diversified in other respects.
In the language of Mr. Jefferson, “we
must now place the manufacturer by
the side of the agriculturist.”
HOLDING BACK THE COTTON.
Worthy Master D. Wyatt Aiken
has published a letter addressed to the
planters of the South, in which he
urges them to hold back their cotton
for better prices. Sound advice, we
think, if it were possible for the plant
ers generally to follow it, and the fact
that they cannot is a sad commentary
on their impoverished condition, and
on their method of doing business. To
those who have given liens on their
crops, he says: Pursue the same course
that the merchant docs when he cannot
meet his obligations.without sacrificing
his stock—ask a renewal. “Move
forward just enough cotton to pay a
tithe; ask sixty days’ indulgence; ‘ re
new,’ that’s the word, If refused, then
philosophize upon the servitude of the
cotton planter and the sincerity of
commercial friendships, If granted
the renewal, leave your cotton in the
seed, and instead of punishing your
dumb brutes by that Continued travel
ing in a circle under your dusty gin
houses, go to work and sow down five
acres of red oats to the mule, and one
acre of wheat to every member of your
family. Fertilize the land well and
prepare properly; or what is better,
sow the grain in your cotton lands and
sweep in with three furrows. On the
Ist of November move forward another
tithe of your cotton and renew again,
and repeat the operation in February
and April of 1876. Pursue this pol
icy for but a single season, and the
next crop will indeed be yours.”

One ounce alcohol, two drachms
cayenne pepper, one ounce kerosene

Depression of HBirits.— Sal Vol
atile, combined with camphor, is more
efficacious than most remedies in
affording relief in depression of spirits,
heartburn, spasms, palpitations, etc.
A simple remedy for neuralgia is
horseradish. Grate and mix it in vin
egar, the same as for table purposes,
and apply to the temple when the face
or head is affected, or the wrist when
the pain is in the arm or shoulder.
A French physician expresses his
preference for lemon juice, as a local
application in diptheria, to chlorate of
potash, nitrate of silver, perchloride of
lime water. He uses it by dipping a
little plug of cottonwood, twisted
around a wire, in the juice, and press
ing it against the diseased surface four
or five times daily.
Bees for New Zealand.--Two
nests of English bumble-bees have been
sent to New Zealand by Mr. Frank
Buckland for the Canterbury Acclim
atization Society. These insects are
specially desired in New Zealand for
the purpose of fertilizing the common
clover; the proboscis of the common
bee is not sufficiently long to reach
down to the pollen of the clover flow
er, while the bumble-bee is enabled to
do so. In this way the insect is ex
pected to do great service to the agri
culturist by largely extending the
growth of the clover. The bees were
packed in their own nests in two box
es, and will be under the charge of a
member of the New Zealand Council,
who is provided with every necessary
for their welfare during the voyage.
They are expected to arrive about the
middle of January—midsummer at
the antipodes.
A Suicide in Character. —At Vil
liers-sur-Oise the other day an English
actress, known as Mme. Reene —atone
time popular in London —committed
suicide in the role of Ophelia. She
was sixty-five years of age, anti had
lived in the above-named little village
for the past ten years. She was very
sad, but always very kind and good to
everybody. Nobody thought of rid
iculing her oclcl appearance and ways,
for it was well known that she had
carried a dead love in her heart for
nearly half a century. She had left
London years before because her af
fianced married another woman. The
last part she had played on the London
stage with him was Ophelia to his
Hamlet, and what news had come to
her of him no one knew; but she was
found floating under the surface of the
river, her gray head decked out with
flowers.
Photography in Medical Diag
nosis.—The useful applications of pho
tography are numerous and varied,
and their number is constantly on the
increase. In a paper recently read be
fore the Medical Society of Lower
Austria, Dr. Ultzman mentioned, on
the authority of Dr. Vogel, that an
eruption of small-pox had been made
evident by photography twenty-four
hours before it actually came out. Al
though no one could as yet observe
anything on the face of the patient,
the negative plate showed stains on the
face which perfectly resembled the
variolus exanthem, and twenty-four
hours afterwards the eruption became
cleariy evident.
Emperor William of Germany is
living a vigorous old age. He was in
the saddle during the whole of both
days of the recent anniversary, and
galloped up and down the field at the
head of his staff as briskly as ever.
Employment is essential to happiness,
and so generally is this recognized that
there are times when 'even the laziest
man feels inclined to thank his creator
for having provided him with a mous
tache to twirl.
