NO. XI.—FARM GARDENS—SELECT LIST OF FRUITS. 
AgrEeahlv to my promise in a previous ar¬ 
ticle, I will make out a small, select list of the 
choicest varieties of such fruits as ought to 
find a place in every farmer’s garden. 
And first, by way of introduction, let me 
say that any deep soil—(not less than ten 
inches)—thoroughly enriched with well-rotted 
stable manure, if kept free from grass and 
weeds until the trees and plants get a good 
start, and also free from stagnant moisture, 
will answer a good purpose for any of the fol¬ 
lowing fruits. 
Strawberries. — Large. Early Scarlet, 
Iioveifa Seedling, and Genesee will prove good 
if not the very best, for general cultivation. 1 f l 
wished to cultivate only a single variety, I 
should select the Genesee in preference to ull 
others. It is a seedling, raised by Messrs. El- 
w anger and Barry, of Rochester, is very har¬ 
dy and productive, and of nearly first rate fla¬ 
vor. It is a hermaphrodite —that is, it pro¬ 
duces perfect flowers, and consequently needs 
no other kind for a Fertilizer. 1 would recom¬ 
mend spring planting, for the reason that far¬ 
mers generally have more time to attend to it 
then, and the plants are not as liable to winter¬ 
kill if neglected. 
The best time, no doubt, is in summer, but 
they need more attention to protect them 
from the drouth, and to prevent their winter- 
killing, than farmers can bestow at that season. 
To succeed well they should always be mulch¬ 
ed with clean straw, (where field mice are not 
troublesome.) or with fine litter, loaves or spent 
tun bark. Prom fifty to a hundred plants will 
do very well to begin with as they increase 
rapidly. The most convenient way to plant 
them is in beds, wide enough for three rows 
18 inches apart, and set the plants about 15 
inches from crch other in the rows. 
Cherries .—It is ajnatter of surprise that so 
few of the Heart and Biggareau cherries have 
found a place in farmers’ gardens. They are 
so much superior, in size, flavor and product¬ 
iveness, to the common red cherry, that I 
should suppose everybody would have some of 
them. Reader, if you have none of them 
growing, make up your mind at once that you 
must set some this fall. 
The best varieties for a small collection are, 
Bauman's May, Downer's I .ale Red, Belle 
Mngnijique and Yellow Spanish-, and if y^ou 
wish more juld Heine Hortcnse, Governor 
JVood and Ellon. 
Apricots .—This most delicious fruit, ripen¬ 
ing as it does in midsummer, when other 
fruits are scarce, deserves to be more generally 
introduced. The great obstacle to its success¬ 
ful cultivation is the ravages of the curculio, 
(mine have not been seriously injured by the 
frost during the past five years,) and now that 
Mr. Mathews’ remedy promises to be effectual 
in the destruction of that pest, (l hope arrange¬ 
ments may be made for its publication before 
the next curculio season,) every farmer ought 
to plant two or three trees at least 
The Early Golden, Moorpark, and Breda, 
are good varieties. It is usually worked on 
peach stocks, but such trees will rarely live 
more than four or five years. It succeeds 
much better on plum stocks—the fruit is larger 
and better, and the trees, although less vigor¬ 
ous, are more productive. If you would not 
be disappointed, set no trees except on plum 
stocks. The trees are much better worked on 
the hard-shelled almond than on the peach, 
but not as good as on the plum. 
Plums .—There is not much to encourage 
the cultivation of the plum at present, for, if 
the curculio can be “headed,’’ there seems to 
be no escape from the black knot. The free 
use of the knife whenever and wherever it ap¬ 
pears, will arrest its progress for a time, but iu 
the end it destroys the tree. 
There are many good varieties, but the 
Green Gage, Washington, Imperial Gage, 
and Lombard, are, all things considered, about 
the best. R. «• w.

HOUSE - PAINTING. 
I am a painter by trade, and have been for 
twenty years experimenting to ascertain what 
mixtures of paints are the cheapest and most 
desirable, due regard being had to handsome 
appearance, and find for white paint, whether 
it be for old or new work—but if for old and 
bare wood the greater utility, as it will save 
a greater amount of stock—the following mode 
of procedure is excellent For the first coat 
take clean, French yellow, and one half good 
boiled oil, the other half raw, and cover the 
work well with it Let it stand to become 
hard and dry, and then put on two coats of 
the purest white lead paint when it will be 
found that just half the quantity will be suffi¬ 
cient, and make better surface than all clear 
white and last twice as long, with less expense. 
Fifty pounds of yellow will go as far in priming 
as three hundred of white lead. For a very 
old house where the paint is all off, take strong 
lime-water and mix with it one-half oil for the 
first coat, which will be found to fill up the 
pores and be just as durable as if primed with 
white lead, the second coat going on and 
working as flexibly as on new work, looking as 
well when done, and at half the expense. I 
painted an old-fashioned house the past season, 
that had not been painled for twenty-five years 
before. I took six gallons of oil and added 
to it eight gallons of lime-water, mixing with 
it about 35 pounds %f French yellow, aud 
painted the house through with it, and in four 
weeks after, I painted it again with white lead, 
taking sixty pounds of white lead to three and- 
a-half gallons of oil, when it made a perfectly 
beautiful surface, and excellent finish. I could 
give more examaples, but it is not necessary.—

Canopy Mosquito Nkt. —A rod is secured 
by a link and hook to each post of the bed¬ 
stead, and they extend upwards at au angle 
of 45°, and meet in the center above the bed, 
and are secured there altogether by an orna¬ 
mental cap. 
The parts are so constructed as to fit any 
kind of bedstead, and the net is so arranged 
that it will contract and expand by an India 
rubber braid, so as to fit snugly on every bed 
to which it is applied. It is portable, neat, 
and ornamental. By a cord, the net can be 
raised or lowered at pleasure by a person in 
the bed, and it can be taken down in half a 
minute and applied to another bed.— Scientijic

Washington Gordon, of Haverstaaw, N. 
Y., has taken measures to secure, a patent for 
an improvement in kilns for burning brick with 
anthracite or other coals as fuel. The fire 
chambers are constructed iu a peculiar manner, 
and blasts are used for the purpose of intensi¬ 
fying the heat, and regulating it as desired. 
Oil for Machinery. —Add one part of In¬ 
dia rubber to fifty parts of Rape oil, and boil 
till the rubber is nearly all dissolved. It is not 
only more unctions and less affected by friction 
than other oils, but remains liquid below the 
freezing point of water. In this respect it i» 
most valuable in cold winters. 
BREECH-LOADING CANNON. 
Our countrymen have a high reputation for 
inventing destruitive in-truments of war.— 
This is well known to the governments of Eu¬ 
rope, and is the reason why a commLsioii of 
officers, from England, is now in this country, 
in order that Uncle John may keep posted up 
with Brother Jonathan in shooting irons, 'l he 
race, however, will be a tough one, even if the 
present most improved of our instruments are 
adopted, for invention after invention succeed 
one another so rapidly, that no wonder Capt. 
McKinnan, R. N., was not unprepared for a 
proposal from an American to take the Caffre 
war (when it existed) on contract. Among the 
many new improvements in the battling line, 
we have to chronicle an application which has 
been made for a patent by H. H. Starr, Lieu¬ 
tenant U. S. A. (now residing ut Burlington, 
N. J.,) for a very ingenious improvement in 
breech-loading cannon. It is constructed with 
a receiver, constituting the breech and charge 
chamber. It is bored uniform with the bar¬ 
rel, and has its front part or neck made of a 
conical form, and turned to fit into a recess 
made to receive it, in the barrel. This cone 
has a broad shoulder at its back, fitting to the 
rear of the barrel. '1 lie outward form of the 
receiver is the same as that of the ordinary 
cannon, except it is furnished with trunnions, a 
ring and a band. The breech slides back and 
swings upward, so as to receive the charge, 
and then it is run forward into the barrel and 
clamped tight with an ingenious and quickly- 
acting band. The improvement is a good one, 
and has been so acknowledged by every person 
who has seen it.— Scientific American. 
Great Engineering Invention. —William 
IT. Brown, of Erie, Pa., went to Europe in the 
Pacific, which left here on the 5th inst., taking 
with him a model of an invention in engineer¬ 
ing (for which he has taken measures to secure 
a patent), which must strike the civil engineers 
of Europe—as it has many of our ablest—as 
one of the greatest improvements ever brought 
before the public, for the transporting of blocks 
of stone to piers in the course of erection in 
rivers; also lhe transporting of cannons and 
the baggage of armies over rivers. By this in¬ 
vention, the whole of the artillery of a large 
army could be carried across a broad river in a 
few hours, without a single boat being requir¬ 
ed. It is the very thing wanted on the Dan¬ 
ube.— Sci. American. 
Nature-Printing. —At a recent meeting of 
the Royal Ag. Society of England* “ Messrs. 
Bradbury & Evans, of Whitefriurs, London, 
presented to the Council a series of beautiful 
and striking specimens of their “ nature-print¬ 
ing," or process by which vegetable produc¬ 
tions may be printed off in their natural size 
and color in almost perfect fac-simile. The 
objects selected for the series consisted chiefly 
of common wild flowers, and well-known agri¬ 
cultural and other plants, of which both the 
strength and the delicacy of the deta'ls Micro 
given with daguerreotype exactness. These 
specimens were much admired by the members, 
and the value of such a proceas in an agricul¬ 
tural point of view fully recognized.” 
Iffmcstk drconoiniL 
Acorn Coffee. —There is in Berlin, Prussia 
a large establishment for the manufacture of 
coffee from acorns and chicory, the article be¬ 
ing made separately from each. The chicory 
is mixed with an equal weight of turnips to 
render it sweeter. The acorn coffee which is 
made from roasted and ground acorns, is sold 
in large quantities, aud frequently with rather 
a medicinal than an economical view, as it Ls 
thought to have a wholesome effect upon the 
blood, particularly of scrofulous persons. 
Acorn cofiee is, however, made and used in 
many parts of Germany for the sole purpose of 
adulterating genuine coffee, and has been im¬ 
ported into the United States for the same use, 
so that, no doubt, many persons, who would 
shrink from knowingly drinking acorn coffee, 
have actually drank it under another name.— 
II it be medicinal iu its nature, as is said, the 
use of it ought to be encouraged. And at 
any rate, as it is healthy in its nature, and can 
be made very cheaply from the superabundance 
ot acorns in our forests, it seems to recommend 
itself under certain circumstances as a sub¬ 
stitute for coffee, the price of which would 
thereby be much reduced. 
G keen Corn Pudding. —This is one of the 
numerous rural luxuries which the farmer has 
always the power to obtain at small expense. 
The following is the recipe for making it: 
Take of green corn, full in the milk, twelve 
ears, and grate it To this add one quart of 
sweet milk, one-fourth of a pound of fresh 
butter, four eggs, well beaten, pepper and salt 
as much as may be deemed necessary; stir the 
ingredients well together, and bake in a but¬ 
tered dish. Some add to the other ingredients 
a quarter of a pound of fine sugar, and eat 
with sauce. It is an excellent dish, cold or 
warm, with meat or sauce; but epicures of the 
most “ exquisite taste ” declare for it, we be¬ 
lieve, and with the first service. 
Batter Pudding without Eggs. —Mix six 
tea-spoonfuls of Hour with a little milk, a tea- 
spoonful of salt, two tea-spoonfuls of beaten 
ginger, and two of the tincture of saffron._ 
Mix it with nearly a quart of milk, and boil it 
an hour.— Hammond. 
Sweet-Apple Pudding. —Take one pint of 
! scalded milk, hall a pint of Indian meal, a tea- 
spoonful ot salt, and six sweet apples cut into 
small pieces, and buke not less than three 
hours, lhe apples will afford an excellent, 
rich jelly. 
Bust keeps good all the year round if chop¬ 
ped and packed in a stoue jar and covered by 
molasses.
