to this inquiry than we should have, were the 
circumstances reversed. We will state, how¬ 
ever, that were we to make the experiments 
indicated, we would select ground of a loamy 
texture, well exposed to the sun and invigorated 
by manure. When in proper tilth for planting, 
we wonhl sink pits at suitable distances deep 
enoogb to receive a barrel or other cask. This 
should he perforated with small holes and filled 
with a compost from the stable, pig stye and 
poultry house. This done we would plant the 
melon seeds in a circle, about the sunken cask, 
eighteen inches or two feet from it and furnish 
a trellis, of some kind, for the vines to climb 
upon. As soon as the plants are well out of the 
ground, the casks should receive a liberal supply 
of water in which rusty Iron and hones have 
been soaked for several days. This water Bliould 
he supplied at intervals during the growing sea¬ 
son, depending somewhat on the character of 
the weather. With this appliance, and suitable 
cultivation, we believe the “ earliest, largest and 
the best” quality of melons can be produced in 
Tennessee or elsewhere within the region suited 
to this product, “outside of the hot-house.” 
White Rhenish Muscatel, produce less than 
those named above, but they are better for wine 
purpose than the California grupe, or at least 
they are desirable for giving bouquet. — The

NEURALGIA, 
and ALU 
Chops in the vegetable garden should be re¬ 
moved and the soli spaded or plowed immedi¬ 
ately. Fanners rarely plow their gardens in the 
fall; they should do so for the purposes of early 
spring planting, putting the soil in good tilth, 
and destroying weeds. Manure also in the fall; 
if with coarse material plow it in ; if with tine, 
top dress. Take this time also to improve the 
garden by underdraining, if needed, subsoilhig, 
and grading the surface. Introduce system in 
your garden operations, and plan a rotation of 
crops, so you will have the results all the year 
round. It takes considerable thought and labor 
to manage a garden well, making it as produc¬ 
tive of the best fruits and vegetables as possible, 
hut it is an investment that pays in satisfaction 
and profit. Ton should have your garden well 
fenced, a suitable tool house in it, and a pit for 
storing some vegetables during the winter. The 
latter is of much importance and cuu be cheaply 
built if desirable. Dig into the ground a few 
feet, provide drainage from the bottom, stone 
or brick np the sides, and roof suitably. .Many 
garden vegetables will keep better In such a 
structure than in the house cellar, and vegeta¬ 
bles stored In the latter place have not always a 
healthy effect on the inmates of the dwelling. 
Cabbage may be safely stored for the winter 
in such a pit, or one may sink a large cask in 
the ground and bank up the earth around it, 
cover suitably, and store in that manner. Cab¬ 
bage may be kept very well by simply turning 
the roots uppermost and covering the headB 
with soil and then with coarse litter, and we 
have kept them in excellent condition until 
spring by simply pulling and inverting them, 
setting the heads on the fresh earth. The snow 
forms a good protection. 
Celery is usually packed in trenches by mar¬ 
ket gardeners for winter keeping, but for family 
use we should prefer to pull it, pack in 6and, 
and place in the cold pit or in a cool cellar. It 
is then accessible at all times, and not as liable 
to be injured by frost or water. All cellars for 
preserving roots and vegetables should be cool 
and moderately dry, and, If under the dwelling 
house, well ventilated. 
Roots of all kinds should he housed before 
frost affects their tluvor and keeping qualities. 
A bin of earth In the cellar is useful for packing 
roots to keep them fresh till late in the season. 
Turnips and beets are liable to shrivel unless 
covered with the soil. 
Asparagus beds may be cleaned with profit 
now, and covered over with stable manure. 
This can be raked oil’ In spring, and some that 
is finer put on and mixed with the soil. 
When gathering the apples, select, a few bar¬ 
rels of the fairest, and the best keeping varie¬ 
ties, handle them very careful, and pack away 
for use late next spring. 
Preparation for planting dwarf trees, vines, &c., 
should be made In the garden in the tall. Dig 
the holes and fill them with manure; in the 
spring throw out the manure aud plant the 
trees, eoveriug the roots with the frost amel¬ 
iorated soil. 
Make arrangements for the hot-bed in the 
way of preparing the soil for covering the ma¬ 
nure. Leaf mold and sharp sand make the best. 
Hardy vegetables—as peas, lettuce, cabbage 
and potatoes — that arc desirable to start ex¬ 
tremely early, may be sown in the fall, and 
protected by sufficient mulching until spring.

A MASSACHUSETTS APPLE ORCHARD 
Tiie Boston Cultivator gives an account of 
a visit recently paid to the apple orchard of 
Georoe Pierce in the town of Arlington. It 
consists of about two hundred trees and bears 
bountifully every year. The Baldwin apple is 
the most prolific. One tree was noticed the cir¬ 
cuit of whose limbs measured, by pacing about 
them, about one hundred paces or nearly two 
hundred and fifty feet. Fruit men, on the 
ground, accustomed to judge of the qnantlty on 
a tree, rated this its high as 25 barrels. The trunk 
was but five and a half feet in circumference. 
Mr. Pierce being inquired of how he man¬ 
aged to raise apples while others around him, 
failed, said :—“I prepare and till my ground 
well, keep off and destroy caterpillars, canker- 
worms, web-worms, prime my trees myself, *&c. 
It is no matter what I am doing, if web-worms 
or caterpiLlars are manifested from tent or web, 
I go and destroy them forthwith; in brief, I 
comply with all the conditions, so far as I know 
them, of a good apple crop, and I get one an¬ 
nually, while my neighbors, failing to do 60 , 
have become discouraged, and are and have 
been digging up their trees.” Is he not right, 
reader? Is It not just, as Impossible for apple 
trees to make fruit without suitable culture and 
plant food, as it is for a cow to make a good 
mess of milk without plenty of good and suita¬ 
ble feed?

The remedies for the cureulio the present 
season are more numerous than usual. There 
are seldom any of them worthy of attention. 
The last one appears in a Williamsport paper, 
from a gardener, who says it is a sure preventive. 
It is this: — “ Take a quantity of corn cobs with 
a wire, around terminating in a hook at the end 
of the cobs; then dip them into gas tar until 
they arc well saturated. Hang a dozen or more 
on the tree, in different parts, and no cureulio 
will disturb the tree.” We heurd of this “rem¬ 
edy ” six or eight years ago, tried It thoroughly, 
and it had about as much effect upon the eur- 
oulio as if the cobs or rags had been dipped in 
molasses. We mounted one of the trees and 
saw the insect at work upon a plum within 
three inches of the tar. We do not believe that 
a single one was disturbed by it. Wo once 
syringed a tree with a mixture of everything 
supposed to be offensive to an Insect. The trees 
and fruit had a complete coating of it, yet we 
saw the cureulio attacking an encrusted plum 
and lay Its egg* in it. Not a single plum in 
either ease escaped .—German town Telegraph..

IRON AND VEGETABLES, 
THE WINE BUSINESS OF CALIFORNIA, 
A curious discovery, says the American 
Farmer, Baltimore, has been made in France 
regarding the influence of iron on vegeta¬ 
bles. On the chalky shores, where there is 
an absence of iron, vegetation is sere and 
withered in appearance, which, it appears, is 
removed by the application of a solution of the 
Sulphate of iron. Harricot beans, watered with 
this substance, acquired an additional of sixty 
pfflr cent. Mulberries, peaches, pears, grape 
vines and wheat, derive advantages from the 
same treatment. In the cultivation of clover, 
wonderful advantages have been gained by the 
application of the sulphate of iron on soils 
where it is desired to produce au early crop. 
In view of these faets the Farmer asks :—“ What 
becomes of all the scales which fall from the 
anvils of our laud?” 
Pickle for Vegetables. —Six quarts of the 
very best vinegar, one pound of salt, a quarter of 
a pound of ginger, one ounce of mace, half a 
pouud of shalots, one tablespoonful of cayenne 
popper, two ounces of white peppercorns, and 
two ounces mustard seed. Boil all these ingre¬ 
dients well together, and when cold, put into u 
jar. You rimy add what green vegetables or fruit 
you like, provided they are fresh. They may be 
merely wiped to free them from dnst.
