Gardening.
The time has arrived to turn our
thoughts to early gardening. From
the tenth to the fifteenth of this month
those who want early vegetables may
risk planting a vaiietyof seeds which
can bear a good deal of cold. There
may be porar rink with those who are
not prepared to give the young plants
some covering, but the loss would be
small, while if successful it is a great
pleasure to have early vegetables
with the ordinary food. Some have
cabbages and 16ng collards which
came thus far through the winter.—
Cabbage seed on a moderate scale
may be sown now, or if plants of the
right kind can be obtained, they may
be safely set out. There are none bet
ter than Bidets Large York,. Flat
Dutch and Drumhead. Sow peas of
different kinds, such as the Marrow
fat, the Champion of England and
the Little Gem, Collards, spinach,
parsnips, lettuce; set out onions sets,
and drill some of Blasts early flat
turnips. Sow carrots, parsnips, beets,
radishes, and plant a row or two of
shallots and leeks. We do not mean
to plant or sow heavily. All these are
hardy and can stand a good deal of
cold. Should some be killed plant
again. We suggest sowing and plant
ing these now to have an early sup
ply for the table. A good large square
well spaded tip and manured, will an
swer for all of them for the present.
In two weeks more, plant others of
the same kind, or such as may be pre
ferred. Some of all kinds that arc
preferred, of those mentioned, should
be sown or planted every two weeks
until the season for full planting may
come. Many persons wait until April
and are thus deprived of early vege
tables. The ground must be broken
up well and if too dry should be wa
tered. All of the vegetables referred
to are hardy and can staud pretty
cold weather.

TREATMENT OF AN ORCHARD.:
Country Gentleman.
The following successful treatment
of an orchard on a small farm in a
good fruit growing region, may afford
some useful suggestions to others.
The owner kept horses and cattle,
but ho was so situated that he could
not keep sheep, and his swine were
eon tinea within a smaller compass
than nil orchard. He could not there
fore avail himself of the advantages
of sheep and swine for destroying
noxious insects, a mode found souseful
by qthers.
It is hardly neccessarv to remark
that during a few of the first years of
his orchard, nml while the trees were
young, it was cultivated with hoed
crops,of which corn was found to be
one of the best—better than most low
howl crops where the treatment of the
roots was not so favorable to the
trees. They grew vigorously, mak
ing annual shoots about two feet long
while young. The cultivation whs
mostly continued till the tree came
fairly into bearing, the manure ap
plied to corn having its Influence. As
the corn could not be continued every
year, it was alternated with corn fod
der sown so thickly in the furrows as
to bear no ears of exhausting grain.
An occasional crop of clover was
plowed in between.
The land was next seeded to orchard
grass and clover, trees having become
so large as to shade materially most
other crops, it was intended to give
a moderate top dressing of manure
every autumn, but the supply did not
permit it oftener than biennially. If
sheep could have been turned in, they
would have grazed short the grass
through the season, but as they
could not he had, or the owner
did not wish to cut the grass for
hay, lie did the best he could with his
cattle and horses. The orchard grass
and clover gave very early pasturage
for these animals, and by the time
th^apples were the size of peas or
small cherries, they had enjoyed some
weeks of good past tire. They were then
excluded, and the trees sprayed three
times with Paris green. The animals
were kept out till about the first of Octo
ber, when Ylie fruit was all gathered;
and the grass has made as luxuriant a
growth as the shade of the trees
would permit. The animals then had
this line feed for the rest of the au
tumn, and late in November.
This treatment has been sometimes
varied by turning in the cattle and
horses, when two or three good show
ers had well washed the poison from
the grass after the spraying, wldch
kept the grass younger and fresher,
the only objection to which was that
these animals soon learned to reach
up for the young apples which had
grown an inch more in diameter.
The result of this treatment was
quite successful, and the orchard was
known as one of the best in the coun
try, with smooth and handsome fruit,
ami plenty of it.
The requisites for success were cul
tivation with crops well manured,
while the trees were young; the bien
nial top dressing; an occasional crop
of clover plowed in when the trees
were older; and the spraying with
Paris green when the fruit was as
large as cherries, to destroy the cod
ling worms and other insects.
Needed More Than One-
“John, do you remember when we
used to swing on my father's front
gate?”
"Yes, Maria, I do.”
“And the moon used to look so
beautiful, John.”
“It did, Maria.”
“And the stars were so bright.”
“They were.”
“I wonder if the moon is so beauti
ful and the stars just as bright now
as thay were then, John?”
“I presume they are, Maria.”
“Then why can’t we swing on the
front gate now and look at the moon
and the stars and the blue night skies,
with their fleecy clouds, as we used to
do then?”
“We can, Maria, if we want to.”
“Then, John, let ns go out to the
front gate for awhile, and see if it will
seem anything like it used to.” •
“All right, Maria. You go out and
try it awhile, and if you like it maybe
I'll take a turn at it.''
But Maria thought him too much
of a brute to do anything of the
kind.
Courtship in Georgia.
When a Georgia fanner found out that
his son John was sparking a certain farm
er’s 'laughter for a yoar or more without
settling any question, he colled him out be
hind i he stack and said to him: “John, do
von love Susan Tucker?” "I guess I do,
dad.” "And does she love you?" That’s
what I dunno, and I am afraid to ask her,”
"Well, you’d better throw out a few hints
to-night and find out. It’s no use wearing
out hoot leather unless you are going to
marry her." That night at 10 o’clock John
came home a wreck. His face was all
scratched up, Ids ear was bleeding, his hat
was gone, and his back was covered with
mud.
‘‘John! John! what on eartli Is the mat
ter?" exelamed the old man, laying down
the paper, "Bln over to Tucker's,” was
the reply. “And—and—and I threw out
a few hints to Susan.” "What kind o’
hints?” "Why, I told tier I’d been hoofing
It two miles four nights of a week for the
last two years to sit up with tier while she
chewed gum and sung through hei nose,
and now I reckoned it was time for her to
brush her teeth and burn her stockings,
cure the bile on her chin and tell the people
we’re engaged.” “And her father bounced
you?” “No dad, no; theie’s where I’m
consoled. It took tiie whole family, in
cluding Susan, two hired men and throe
dogs, and then I wasn’t mor’u half licked,
l guess wo moved on ’em too soon dad,— I
guess it wasn’t quite time to throw out
hints.”
“It is a curious world,” my barber
said yesterday: “nobody ain't satisfied.
The'last man but one in my chair
made me brush and grease his curly
hair till it was straight, and the next
man to him made me curl his straight
hair.”- San Francisco Argonaut.
The entire town of Yilona, in
Faulkner county Ark., was burned
on the 21st of Dec. every business
house being simultaneously set on
lire. The total loss is about ’$100,000.
