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. copy the following articles e Sparta Ishmaelite: We from the If you want to raise “stunts" keep the calves in the patch with the pigs.

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.
