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.” The Home Doctor. One ounce alcohol, two drachms cayenne pepper, one ounce kerosene oil; let it stand twenty-four hours after mixing. It cures the worst toothache ever known. 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. All who have heard of little Charlie Ross should read the beautiful new book, en titled “Cherry, the Singer,” published by Edward A. Samuels, 125 1 remont St., Boston. Possibly it may l§ad to the recovery of the stolen child, as tlfe character of the little he ro of the book is partially founded on his own life and abduction.

We often see a large stock of cattle which do not seem to thrive, and come out “spring poor,” all for want of something to start them in the right direction. One dol lar’s worth of Sheridan’s Cavalry Condition Powders, given to such a stock occasionally during the winter, would be worth more thaii an extra half ton of hay.

The great virtue of this medicine is that it ripens the matter and throws it out of the system, purifies the blood, and thus effects a cure. Sciienck’s Sea Weed Tonic, for the Cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Etc. The Tonic produces a healthy action of the stom ach, creating an appetite, forming chyle, and curing, the most obstinate cases of Indigestion. schenck’s Mandrake Pills, for the Cure of Liver Complaint, Etc. These Pills are alterative and produce a healthy action of the liver without the least danger, as they ate free from calomel and yet more efficacious in restoring a healthy action of the liver. These remedies are a certain cure for Consmuption, as the Pulmonic Syr tip ripens the matter afid purifies the blood. The Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, create a healthy bile, and remove all diseases of the liver, often a cause of Consumption. The Sea Weed Tonic gives tone and strength to the stomach, makes a good digestion, and enables the organs to form good blood ; and thus creates a healthy circulation of healthy blood. The combined action of these medi cines, as thus explained, will cure e\ T ery case of Consumption, if taken in time, and the lise of the medicines persevered in.
