The Farm Garden.
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

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.

It will be observed that no attempt is

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

Transplanting.
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.

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

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.

For the past week or so tho papers have

It is not perhaps known in America that

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

In spite of the ominous shakings of head

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,

1\ E. VOUS IS A ES.
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.
