LAYING OUT KITCHEN GARDENS. 
A great saving may be effected in the cost of culti¬ 
vating kitchen gardens by the use of the plow and cul¬ 
tivator, wherever they can be so laid out as to admit 
the labor of a horse. 
Fig 1 —Kitchen Garden 
for horse culture. 
Flg. 2 — Kitchen Garden 
laid out into quarters. 
In the above figure (Fig. 1) , we have endeavored to 
show an arrangement for this purpose, where dwarf 
• ruit trees, currant and gooseberry bushes, See., are 
planted in continuous rows across the garden ; the crops 
of vegetables being planted between, and the whole cul¬ 
tivated by a horse, which turns about at the ends on 
the spaces or alleys, a, a. The flower garden and or¬ 
namental part occupy a strip at the centre, on each 
side of the alley, b, b. If desired, this part maybe 
wholly omitted. Fig. 2, shows the more common way 
of laying out kitchen gardens into quarters, where, it 
will be observed, horse labor can not be introduced. 
There are a few of the smaller vegetables, as radishes, 
lettuce, &c., which can not well be worked with plow 
and cultivator. For such, it is best to have one single 
narrow bed extending across the garden. For many of 
the larger vegetables, the space allotted to the improved 
mode will give a better growth than the common way 
of planting them in thick beds. For example, aspara¬ 
gus, when Urns given plenty of space, will attain more 
than double the growth acquired with ordinary cultiva¬ 
tion. _ 
Grafting Grape Vines —The following is the mode 
practiced by the late Mr. Herbemont, of South Caro¬ 
lina: Take away the earth around the vine, to the 
depth of four or five inches-—saw it off about two or 
three inches below the surface of the ground. Split it 
with a knife or chisel, and having tapered the lower end 
of the scion in the shape of a wedge, insert it in the cleft 
stock, so as to make the bark of both coincide, (which 
perhaps is not necessary with the vine;) tie it with any 
kind of string merely to keep the scion in its place, so 
as to leave only one bud of the graft above the ground, 
and the other just below the surface, and it is done.” 
Relief of Choked Cattle.— The best method and 
easiest, is to take a lump of lard (cold,) about the size 
of a hen’s egg, and a spoonful of powder mixed with it, 
and haul out the tongue and throw it into the threat; 
let the tongue go back, and they are relieved in one 
minute.
