There is one duty wti h meg fermer owes to himself and his family which to very gemerstly more honored lit the breach than in the observance, and that is to make a garden. Probably nine out of ten farmers Have no garden at all. Of those that leve something of a garden it is only a little patoh a rod or so aquae° which is amatte by the wife and mother aided, may be, by her children, and done after the long and tire. 00in housework is all over. Suolh a garden evenis a decided advantage, but it is ascend. lug reproaoh to the man, husband, father and Owner, as he i8 that has done nothing to help in the work. There is a portion of garden work which women and children oan do better than men, and to it is light, easy, and interesting there le no good reason why that part ehould not bo done by them, but there is another part which no woman ehould be celled on or allowed to do, In the firetpinee the piece of land for the garden need not bo too Large, an aigile or even e. sixteenth part of an acre is plenty for the garden Dia farmer, simply to supply the household. The land should be well manuredand deeply ploughed, Two or four good wagon loads of manure with as little litter of straw in it as there can be found is enough for the above mentioned sires of garden. Then after ploughing the Menem should be all pinked clear off hh. If the land is a nice sandy loam with no' stones so much the better. In choosing a garden spot a piece of light warn soil is preferable provided it can be found Diose to the house. For many reasons it is important to have the garden close to the house. After clear. ing off any rubbish or atone on the land, give it a good harrowing to mellow the surface and render it level. We will suppose that, the piece of land chosen and thus prepared is four rods wide aid five rods long which gives 20 square rods or one-eighth of an acre. For convenience 1u oultivating and so that the man met do as inucll as possible of this work with a horse we will advise to lay off the garden in beds or parts running eaoh of them the whole length of the five rods. Then let us examine what we want to put in, first a couple of rows of early potatoes, two rows of sweet corn, a row of beets, one of carrots, one of parsnips. and a couple of turnips. These things will occupy six fent for the potatoes, six feet for the 00011 and one foot sac}: row of the roots making 17 feet in all or a little over one of the four rod's in width. Then about two rows of cabbages and cauliflowers will be wanted which will allow about six. try plants and will occupy about seven feet in width. Two rows of beans and two double rows of peas will give a fair supply and take about ten feet more of width or per. baps twelve. All these things can be put in rows in such a way that nearly all the cleaning can be done with e. small culti. vator and a horse. Probably in the middle of the summer the crops will get so spread over the ground that it will not be safe to put a horse through but in the early part of the season the horse can save a greet deal of hoeing by this plan. We still have nearly half our space for a few hills of cucumbers and squash each taking about six feet square, a small bed of lettuce and a patch of spinach a patch of straw. berry plants and a few currant and goose. berry bushes and an onion bed. It will be observed that no attempt is ¶nade to try difficult or unusual vegetables. If the farmer's wife has an ambition in that way and will sow some tomato seeds_in a box early in spring and take care of them in the house she can easily have a gond supply of these delicious vegetables by set. ting out some ten or fifteen plants after the late frosts. In the same way early and much larger onions can be obtained by sow. ing seed in a box and transplanting about 1st June. If the farmer himself wilt take the trouble and encourage one of the boys to do it, ibis still bettertomake a hotbed and raise one's own plants, tomato, cabbage, cauliflower, etc., but this is more trouble. some and requires a certain amount of skill, which most farmers have not got. What has been outlined above does not require much time, labor, or attention and no skill or knowledge beyond what every farmer must have, The return,however, is large, notperhens in money but in oomfort and -pleasure and one might say luxury. Vegetables are al- most a necessity to healthy livtug and are a most agreeable variety in the too mono. tonus bill of 1,ro of the ordinary farm table. Iu the country they cannot be boughb and so to secure them the farmer must raise them, and in no way oan he spend a day or two in the spring and an hour or two et intervals during the summer so profitably and well. Ensilage for Hoge. If ono is going to winter hogs oheaply and successfully he mush begin to prepare for it in the spring and summer preceding the winter. The farmer who treats to luck about having proper food for the hogs through the winter is pretty sure to make more failures than successes. The proper food for swine is winter depends no much upon the loonitty in which they are brought up that no general advice oan be given. In one section one food is cheaper than in an- other, and it would pay better to raise that for tite winter feeding than any other, But enail'age for Bogs cam generally be raised cheap enough anywhere, and this can be matin a very agreeable and good food for the hogs, If corn ensilage is used for hogs it ehould be beth sweet and well -eared, Sour corn ensilage le injurious to any animal, and it is as likely to set up internal distnrb- anoes`thab will lead into disease alit is to do them any good. Well -oared eneilage is quite essential because the nutriment con- tained in the ears is just what the hogs need for blood.making and fat -making In the Winter. Even snoh eueileg0, however, will bo pretty web for the hogs, and all along with it one will generally find it necessary to feed dry food. The proper enailage for logs is corn eneilage, properly prepared and gathered, The best Dorn for this purpose is the Landreth sugar Dorn and not the hard field oot'n which we have boon aooustom-. ed to raise for tho pigs. Good quality of sugar corn will keep bettor in the olio than hard field corn and the pigs as well me all other farm anhnals..Will pprefer it to any tithe. Tho sugar is very fattening, and while it makes the pigs grow, ib faebens tient readily for the market, Generally our pigs grow lean in cold weather, owing Dither to bhe poor food We give theme)/ to the excessive s6reie open their systems clamed by the winter weather.

Its farming, most of the orops are planted or sown where they are expooted to grow and mature. This is partly owing to the nature of the °rope and partly because in field culture it would require toe much labor to transplant the plants. In horticul- ture, however, it is found advioable to transplant many kinds of vegetables and fruits. Those species requiring a tong sea- son to perfect their units, may be atarted in a hothouse or a hotbed, or in open bods in sheltered 10eation8, where they can be protected froni the cold, a long time before it is eafe to plant them fn the open air. It is also believed that many species fruit are better if tranoplanled, the tendency to run to plant growth Is ()hooked by transplanting and the tendency to form fruit encouraged, Ito this latitude the latter part of May and first few days of June aro the favored periods for transplanting. In our long ex- gerlen0e we have found that but little is pained by hurrying partially tender plants: into the open ground before the season of frosts and chilling winds are past. Such vegetables as tomatoes, for illuetration, may be badly stunted by transplanting before soil and atmosphere are in condition to push them into rapid growth. In transplanting, a warm, cloudy day is preferable. The plants should be well snaked with water a few hours before they are taken up. If but few are to be transplanted, and they are to be moved but a short distance, they had better be taken up with some soil adhering. Wheretlois is not oonvenient, the roots may he drawn out of the soft, soaked earth ale moat intact, and then had bettor be pud- dled—dipped into thin mud so that the roots shall be coated with mud, which will prevent rapid drying. Then, in setting them in their places make liberal holes so that the roots shall not be cramped, and press the soil very firstly about tine roots. this will exclude the air and prevent their drying nut. --- The Grape Tree of Ten Thensantd Clusters. The mammoth grape vine of Montecito, in Santa Barbera County, California, may undoubtedly be called the greatest rine the world ever saw. At a publio meeting of the citizens of Santa Barbara, held in Tel). bets hell, on Sep, 0th, 1875, revolutions of deep regretlat the death of this vine—which occurred that year—were unanimously adopted and published. Their grief was somewhat softened by the fact that a daughter vine was left them growing near the same spot, and which easily eclipses for size and produotiveness any single vine ie the world. The dead menar011 stood in the valley of the Monteoito, about an equal distance from the Pacific on the south and the Santa Inez Mountains on the north. Hyatt tells us that it was the largest and most productive grape vine the world ever produced. History furnishes us with some instances of very large vines :—for instance, the doors of the Cathedral of Ravenna were made of vine planks, 12 feet long and 15 inches wide. The Columns of Juno's tem- ple, Metapont, and the statue of Jupiter, for theotty of Apolloniunt were made of the wend of the vine ; and yet from what we oan learn none of these vine were equal in gigantic proportions to this great tree. In 1850 I visited the noted vine at Hampton Court, in England, which is grown under glass and said to be 200 years old, yet the diameter of this old world vine is not equal in size to one of the main branches of the Monteoito monster. The yield of the ling. lish vine has never in any year exoceded 2,000 lbs„ while the California tree has, on the best authority, yielded 20,000 olustere, averaging over five tone of grapes of excel- lent quality. Its trunk was immense, the circumference 8 feet from the ground was 5t feet and the branches covered over 12,• 000 square feet, so that 2,000 people could easily sit beneath its widespread branches. The old tree after Its death was carefully carried to the Centennial, at Philadelphia, where doubtless many have seen for them- selves this very interesting relic of Santa Barbara. There is a.very interesting story connected with this tree, called " The Legend of the Monteoito Grape' Gino," It is too long a story for this article, but the substance is this: " A grape cutting waspre- sented to a beautiful young Spanish lady by her lover, about a hundred years ago, as a Pro 10118 riding whip. She planted it on the spot where she supposed her lover was kill. ed, and so this memento of love developed into this greet vine and for aught wo know this romantic history may be true, The vine wee irrigated from hob springs, which contain sulphate of iron and other mineral substances, and soienbists attribute its great size to those agents.

Bright 8ngllainvonla ll Did. the Work Whirl. tial Exulted the Wonder and Admiration or All. For the past week or so tho papers have had much to say about the beautiful decor- ation of the new Cunard eteamship, the Campania. The following letter from Eng- land will give added interest to the details. It is not perhaps known in America that the magnificent new Cunarder which ar- rived in New York on Saturday on her maiden voyage, having matte the fastest initial trip on record, was entirely uphol. atered, decorated and fitted up by a woman ; and wet such is the case, Miss Charlotte Robinson, deoorator to tbo Queen—the first business woman to receive recognition from Her Majesty—holds a foremost place in her line to -day, which Was won by no "fair field or favor," but by determina- tion, capacity and perseverance, added to true artistic instincts, and a natural and hghly cultivated gift of deeigu. It is now eight years since a bright, am- bitious, self-confident girl, equipped with an excellent education, found herself con- fronted with the problem of earning iter own living, or, as she nye, "sitbiug idle, living on a little," She had received a thorough training in art, design and modeling. frith characteristic indepen- cleaoe she at once determined to strike out in a new direction, 80orning the well•worn way of governess or "companion." In spite of the ominous shakings of head and warnings from her Emil and friends she rented some rooms in her native city of Manchester, at £200, or 51,000 a year. She stocked tltom with artistes furniture. Some laughed at her " fad," others held up their hands in horror at her for not hiding her identity, but boldly putting iter name on her door, and she was reproached by all for the " degradation of 'serving in her own eltop." There ensued many days of trial and discouragement ; when no sales were made, when stook accumulated and became " out of date " on her hands, and when crafty dealers turned her inexperience to their own advantage; and when theintrepid, and, as yeb, not hopeless young dealer was everywhere greeted by her pessimistic friends with that most exasperating form- ula : " I told you so." Finally a few orders came in, anti were filled with such originals. ty and boldness of design, artistic work- manship and bitoroughness in execution, that gradually they multiplied, and many who had scoffed at this new and " unfemi- nine departure " Dame to entreat Miss Robinson's advice and assistance in the dec- oration of their homes. With the Menohestor exhibition came Miss Robinson's clime ; her stand of fur- niture and fittings, many of which were altogether novel, and had been made from her own graceful design, proved one of the most attractive in the building and drew the attention of royalty, with the result that the appointment of " Decorator to the Queen" was conferred upon her. etl,is0 Rob- inson's success was bow ensured, and her influence on the English standard of taste 111 the interior decoration became extended by her aoceptance of the post of adviser in such mabtere to the readers of the London Queen,and by the opening of a braneh of her business at 20 Brook street, London, and between which dainty depot of what might truly be called decorative "confections" and her establishment in Manchester, ]pias Robinson divides her weak. Mies Robinson does not confine herself merely to furnishing the abodes of the newly.married or replacing the common• place with the artistic in English homes, She revels in mammoth orders, Email as fit. ting up hotels, theatres, etc., and now her latest achievement is the superintending of all the interior fitting and decorations of the Campania, the largest and finest ship afloat, "It was such fun," site eve, In her bright way, "to lay my plans before the grave and reverend directors of the Cunard Company, before whom I was the Best woe+ an artist who had ever appeared."

It is not nearly so cold as many places in the United States.

Neither is the other extreme felt, of great heat, snob as these vory regions of North America endure. No Icelander knows what a temperature of a hundred in the shade is. There are no sudden Rummy, tions or great changes, The climate is remarkably equable: A variation of thirty degrees in a month is probably not 011 rec- ord in the island. The climate es due, of amuse, to the same cause that produces a similar effect in the British Isles, namely the Gulf Stream. Thi1 great ocean current mallet/ the southern and western shores of Iceland, and seethes it a mild winter and a balmy summer. There are glaciers in the island, of course, but they form no icebergs, The sea around the island Is never frozen, nor indeed is any floating ice, in floes or bergs, ever seen, save on rare occasions on the northern coast. Now and then, in sum• star, prolonged storms will carry floating toe across from the Greenland coast, and drive it upon the northern shore of Iceland, together with cold fog and rale. In this way polar bears are also sometimes landed on the island. On the other hand, the winters are so mild that thunderstorms often odour in them. In fact, most of the thunderstorms in Iceland are in the winter months. Agriculturally, however, the climate of Iceland is less favorable than that of Mani. toba. The summer is cooler, and vegeta- tion, therefore, matures less rapidly. For that reason it is impossible to grow any grain there, save a species of Date. Coro, wheat and rye are out of the question. The contents of the vegetable garden are also limited. Tomatoes and pumpkins, for ex- ample, cannot be grown; nor are fruit trees and grape vines to be seen. The chief garden products aro potatoes, cabbages, Garrote and turnips, all of which grow in greab luxuriance, and are of excellent quality. The only tree is the birch, which only reaches a height of ten or twelve fent. But the chief crop is grass. The moist climate favors its growth, and the Island is tints abundantly supplied with both pasture and meadow lands.

As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest •child or the oldest and most, delicate individual, Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges- tion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when tha- right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food floes not con- tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food bo supplied, This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous 'de- rangement.
