JPIOB OP INTEREST RELATIVE r TO FARM AND GARDEN. CABBAGES THAT DO NOT HKAD. The defective cabbages in the fall are those that have been checked in growth during summer. To head properly a cabbage should grow without ceasing after it has recovered from the shock of transplanting. The shock is perhaps useful, as it supplies the plant with a new set of roots. If a dry time comes on, water liberally with water in which com umrHaK-fevtftnmrTHTtr been dissolved. No crop grown will prove better for this labor than cabbage. It may make the difference between a cabbage head and a mess of unsalable leaves.?Ihtton Cultivator. DniTTLENKo8 OK TI1E HOOK. A hard hoof is desirable rather than otherwise, as the foot will not wear so much when the horse goes unshod in the summer; but it tends to become brittle and break away under the strain of the shoe uails. If the hoof is brittle in this way it is an advantage rather thau otherwise, as the injury by breaking cun easily be prevented by keeping the hoofs dressed with a mixture of vnseline nnd glycerine. If the hoof, however, crumbles at the sole nnd around the walls into soft powder, this indicates disease of the horn induced by an inflamed condition of the foot, and often follows an attack of founder (laminitis or fever of the feet). This should be treated by the use of a cooling Inxativo, as a pound of epsoin salts and bran mashes for food for a time; the feet should be poulticed with linseed meal until all heat nlwutthcm is removed, and then dressed daily with the vnseline and glycerine mixture. This condition of the feet is frequently produced by the horse standing in soft manure, which rots the horu and causes the brittleucss complained of.?Xcu> York Timet.

If the breeder must, of necessity, limit the range, he must provide artificially the advantages which the country supplies. Insects he must replace with chopped meat, and lacking grass range, he must cut grass and clover daily. Shade must be provided during the summer, otherwise failure is sure. Poultry raising and fruit culture go hand in hand, and may be combined on the same ground. An orchard is much benefited by allowing fowls free range, as the crop of harmful insects is kept down. In the heat of summer the young chicks will grow and thrive in the shady orchards, and pick up much of their living in it. If the breeder lacks these advantages, and is compelled to raise his fowls in confinement, he may, by extra can;, raise fair birds; but even with tho best attention they will never equal in beauty of plumage and vigor of constitution and size tho couutry-reared chicks that have developed their muscles in many a foraging expedition.?Ncio Y^rk Witneu. IMPROVE THE PASTURES. One of the crreatest neglects in Amnri. can agriculture, is that of not properly cultivating pasture lauds. In England farmers pay almost ns much attention to these ns they do to their meadows; and there i9 very little dillerence between them in the annual yield of grigs. There are lands so stony or rough of surface that they cannot be prepared for improved pasturage except at too great expense. These must be left to their natural state and to yield such grass ns they can without cultivation. But when the aoil is moderately good, and not too hilly Or rocky, it should be put in.jine condition, and the grass thus made to come forth early in the spring, endure through the summer heat and last till late autumn?in fnot. t.Ho cum., no 1 ...V ?..>uv IU tuc J1ICUIC ows?so that large instead of scaut profits may be annually obtained. Greater attention should be paid when stocking the land by using a variety of seeds, and sowing twice or thrice the quantity generally nllowcd. There is gain instead of loss made by this, as a good, thick stand is secured the first season, instead of being obliged to wait the second or third year for the grass to spread fully, and fully cover the surface. By sowing a variety of seed, the sort best suited to the soil will gradually take precedence and become permanent. It cannot always be told, even by the most experienced farmers, which sort will triumph; it must be left for time to determine.?iVc'w York Tribune. TTIE POTATO HOT. Every year the farmers dread the no tttto rot, which has clone great damage in seasons past. The rot first appeared in Ireland in 1847 and was imported into this country but recently. It is a fungus which grows within the plant, filling the cells with white threads, which bear small balls or capsules containing black spores. It. is these black spores which discolor the potatoes and from which the new plants spring. If diseased potatoes are left in the ground they infect the land and propagate a pest for the next season's crop of potatoes. When the potatoes die and rot in the ground the small spores turn into dust and rise in the nir to be carried away to some oilier field. The disease spreads rapidly in this way. The best way to destroy the genu is to gather up all of the potatoes, small and large, and boil them for the fowl and swine. This will till fKo Otvoroe * 1.1-- - ..... ?uu jirevcuu iuu spread ot the disease. Never feed them to the animals before l>oiling them. The damaged jmtators should be kept from the sound ones after they are dug. It is well, then, to dust the sound ones with fresh, air-slaked lime, which will destroy any adhering spores. Keep the potatoes dry, too, as this will tend to keep the spores dormaut. In selecting seed potatoes never take one that shows any black places; then roll the cuttings in air-slaked lime. The potato rot is strictly contagious and it should be killed wherever it manifests itself. If every 1 '9~ * iniiuci wwulll lie IU> UireiUI III (ICAIlUg with his crop of potatoes the rot wouhl soon be exterminated and never heard from again in this country.?

The former will make very mean cheese, the latter will make the richest sort. Put two-thirds of the milk into a large tub, ami raise the temperature of the last third to that of Dew milk. The whole quantity is then whisked together, the rennet added, and the tub covered over; in this state it is allowed to stand until it is completely turned, when the curd is struck down several times with the skimming dish, after which it Is allowed to subside. The vat covered with cheese cloth is next placed over the tub and filled with curd by means of a skimmer; the curd is pressed down with the hands and more added as it sinks, until the curd rises above the edge of tho vat to bout two inches. Now ndd the proper quantity of salt, after which place a board over it and under it and apply pressure for "two or three hours. The cheese is next turned out and surrounded by a fresh chccse-cloth, and pressure again applied for eight or ten hours,when it is commonly removed from tho press, salted over again, and pressed again for twelve to twenty hours. Tho quality of the cheese depends on this part of the process to a great extent, ns if any of the whey is left in it, it will not keep. Further, the cheese must be washed in warm water, wiped dry, and placed in n cool place to ripen. This is a bare outline of tho process of making cheese. Experience will quickly teach more than wo could tell in a column. It is impor tant to havo a good rennet, which should never be taken from a calf that has not sucked, or that is not at least two days _j old.?Courier-Journal. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. It is a mistake to stop feeding young hk turkeys when grown. S A noted English agriculturist advises Y< farmers to try ensilaging instead of hay- ,,a making in securing the hay crop. The best and strongest chicks are hatched ?some will be raised two months hence, but they are not considered as good sin as the early birds. chl If too late to set out cabbage or celery where the early vegetables were grown, ha clear off the land and sow rye, it will be line to turn under this fall. llipo timothy hay is worth very little * more than straw for milk and butter, c while timothy cut when the grass is in J | early blossom is much more productive. t John Gould snys iu the Western llural, R that he sold $114 worth of inilk from one ' acre of ensilage, and $22 worth of bran ^ and clover. The milk brought $1.50 per jOI cwt. no' There is no more dismal sight than a sparsely painted farm liouso without the Ai sheltering shade of a small tree and with yo bare earth where luxuriant grass should abound. rw Have the fair in mind while at work tin about the garden, any fine specimens of jjjjj vegetables, crowd?exhibit at the fair We and then save the seed for next year's n? planting. jjjj According to Professor E.

Mr. Hoot's impressions of the Carniolaus thus far appear not very favor- an able. A correspondent of Garden and Forest nn thinks it a question whether it pays to soi stake tomatoes. In the home garden it is well to stop the growth of the viue by j pinching to encourage early fruit; but for $5; late fruit he lets them run at will.

It might bo auid to SuniI: "Who art thou that thou shouldst bo raid of a man that shall die, * * * and rgettest tho Lord thy Maker?" (Iso., 11., 12, ,) Had Samuel boon in full sympathy with e Lord, in tho caso of Saul he might not ,ve talked thus; I ufc whenever we are in the ist degreo out of tho fellowship with God ? are apt to say and do tuany foolish and iful things. The fear of tho Lord and conflnoein tho perfect love of God. is on elTect1 cure for all other fear. "And tho Lord id take an heifer with thee and sav, I am rue to sacrifice to the Lord." Sinful man n do nothing in the way of serving God art from socriflco and atonement; our liest actions, our very best service, cannot acceptable to God apart from tho merits our Lord Jesus Christ, but the weakest y or the feeblest service lis made acceptable rough Him. Sk "I will show thoo what thou shalt do; td thou shalt anoint unto Me hiin whom 1 me unto thee." Tho servant of the Lord a only to move forward calmly and in per ct confidence in his captain and he is ally* promised sure guidance. 4^ 'VAnd^ Samuel did that which tho Lord nko." This is now as it should bo, tho >rd of the Ijord prevails, and the servant is nply obedient aud comes to Bethlehem iving God to carry out His own plans and snage His own affairs in His own wise way. hen wo aro thus passive and also obedient His hands, all will bo well and His pureo unhiudcred. "The ciders of tho town ambled." Hero is another indication of lack fellowship with God, for if their hearts re right and their conduct right there mid have been rejoicing instead of tromIng at a visit from tho Lord's servant: but ol?ably they, too, were dinging to tho disodient king. 5. "I am come to sacrifice unto tho Lord." a uses the very words which ho wa? told to o (v. 2), and that is always tho right thing do. Jesus Himself said only what the ither told Him (John xii., 4!l); Jeremiah and sekiel were to speak only tho lord's words er. i., 7-0; Ksek. iil., 4,10, 11, 17); and hen wo as messengers of the Lord confine irsolves to tho Lom's message, rather than vo our thoughts about it, surely wo shall be ost pleasing to Hirfk. 6, 7. "The Lord lookcth on tho heart." As e first of Jesse's sous stood before Samuel, ere was something about him which caused unucl to think that he was tho Lord's an> in tod- but how solemn the word of tho >rd: "I have refused him." Lotus again peat tnat in tno matter or salvation the >rd refuses nono who come to Hiin; but is is a matter of special service, and it is it stature nor a fair oouut-onance He seeks, it ft heart right with Himself, "a man after b own heart (chap., xiii, 14). 8-10. "Jesse made seven of his sons to pass if ore Samuel; and Samuel said unto Jesse, 10 Lord hath not chosen theso." Hero, then, an apparent failure; the Lord hail said to unuol that Ho had provided a king from nong Jesse's sons, and yet here are all the ns whom Jesse had thi eght it necessary to 'ing; and for this special service, this place honor, all aro set aside, the right man has >t appeared. God's thoughts and ways aro i much higher than ours as heavon is higher an earth; and how few seem to know His oughts or understand His countenance. m. lv., 8, 9; Mic. lv., lift; but let men bo ind as they may, there is no failure with Dd. He has choeen His servant-, and will >t sot the man of His choice on the throne Israel and of tho whole world. Wait upon im and be patient. 11. "Send and fotch hiui, for we will not t down till he comes hither." So everyliag has to stand still till the slighted son brought. In reply to Samuel's question as i whether these seven were nil hL sons **n replied Mint the youngest was at home i *>ping the sheep, and it was for him tliat icy were now sending and waiting. 19. "And he sent, and brought him in, * * id the Lord said: Arise, anoint him- for this he." As we are thus for the first tinio j?erinally introduced to David, the son of Jesse, le history of whoso kindom, past and future, lis so much of Scripture, anil with whom we cpect to bo somewhat intimately associated hen Jesus, the son of David, who is also the lurch's Bridegroom, shall sit on David's irone, wo can only stand and gnze upon this iddy, good-looking young man and wonder i the grace of God in choosing a mortal man >r such a glorious immortal future; and ten turning to our own souls we would say: , my soul, see that thou dost never cease > adore, and cry aloud the praises of Him, hose grace has called yon, passing by so lany others, to be a king-priest unto God, ashing you in His own precious blood. 18. "Then Samuel took the horn of oil and nointed him in the midst of his brethren." ie was afterward, ?t Hebron, anointed ing over the house of Judah, and somohat later, at the same place, anointed king ver all Israel. (II 8am. ii.. 4: v.. 1-5.) Af sr Samuel anointed him that day there were >ng years of waiting and rejection and perKution ere he camo to the throne, so now Ithough Jesus, the Son of David, is God's tiosen and anointed King of Israel and of II nations, we are still living in the timo 'hen He is rejected and persecuted. "The uirit of the Lord came mightily upon David -om that day forward." (See R. V.) Hero i tho power by which alone we con suffer or jtvo or wait or in anv way glorify God. 'roin beginning to end of Scripture the power f tho Spirit of God is the only power reealed for effectual service, and whethor it is laying upon the harp or writing psalms, aubuing enemies or reigning over Israel, whntrer David did that was acceptable to God ros by the Holy Spirit. "So Samuel rose up and went to Ru in ah." or the second time he has anointed a Capdn over the Lord's inheritance, and now ho !tires to his own home, no doubt to connue in prayer for the Lord's pooplo and for toemittted.?Leaeon Helper.
