AGRIOULMRADZ FORWARDING MELois.-All our inelon. squashes and other plants of that family come from tropical or warm countries, ano in order to yield the best returns in ou northern gardens, need every advantag we can give them. Every one may no find it convenient to stait his cucumber melon, and similar seeds, on pieces of sod or in pots, in a hot bed or frame, but hi may greatly hasten, or forward the name ii the open ground. All the expense o trouble required is, to make a lot of frames one for each "bill," of six or eight Inc] boards, and a foot square. It may be mor convenient to get boxes from the store, a little or no cost. It makes no difference 1 the boxes are somewhat larger than the siz< named, the object is to get a box withou top or bottom. Over such a box frame tack a piece of thin muslin or cotton cloth, and the thing-is ready. Sow the seeds It the usual way, and every afternoon, whei the day begins to be cool-soon after I o'clock usually-turn these frames over tho "hills." This will hasten the germinatioe of the seeds, and when the plants eome up continue to protect them in this manner If a cold windy day occurs, it will be bet ter to leave these covers on than to expos4 the plants to the weather. This use of tho covers or frames may be continued unti the plants get too large for them. Nol only will plants thkus treated be much aheat Sof those without such protection, but the3 will also be largely preserved from the at tacks of the "striped bug" so injurious tc melons, cucumbers, and related plants, cs pecially when young. FAnMERs lRlEEl9iNo i'AsT STOCK. Therc is a good deal said by the agricultural jour. nals about this question, anu there is a pre valling opinion that farmers should not breed fast stock. We can hardly arrive at such a conclusion. If there is more money hi breeding thoroughbreds than there is in common horses, we say breed the thorough breds. It is clained that fast horses meavs idleness, race-tracks, gambling, whisky drinking and swindling. hat may be so, but no one ever objects to the farmer raising barley corn, rye and hops, because Much products are rcquired for the ianuiacturing of whiskey and malt liquors. There is as much propriety in one as there is in the other. We believe that horse-racing is pernicious in its tendencies. We have the same opnion in regard to drinking liquors, unless used for medicinal purposes, but that Is no reason that barley, rye, corn and hops should not be cultivateLI. The faric can breed fast horses and yet not patronize the race-tracks, unless he chooses to do so. If -he can raise i horse that is worth-when four or livO years old-live hundred dollars, is It not his privilege, and is it not better than to grow a plug, or a dung-hill, tihpt is only worth seventy live or a hundred dol lars at that age? We say let the farierm make all the money they cinl off of their farms in a legitimate way. The more they make the better it is for all of us. PATIENK wiin Roiss.-If the new roses you have set out do not bud and bloom satisfactorily at 1irs, do not be discouraged. Give them time. First blooms are frequently single and iperlfet, and deficient in color and fragrance, because tho roots are not sufficiently established to furnish the full amount of nourishment required. Other causes will also produce like-elfects, as for Instance poor ground, shade, and insutfil cient light, too much or too little moisture, too close proximity to biuildings or largei plants, trees, &c. Anything that interferce with the growth of tile plant will lessen tle beauty and color of the flower. All rosei do best when planited in open1 ground iii summer. Give them a chance and they will repay all care and1( trouble. OLn tan .barkc makes a cool aind delightful walk under the shade of trees.

DOMRSTIO. MILK FOR THE BioK.--Milk is a perfect food and the only perfect food that exists, it contaips all the ele r ments that enter into the human body. 3 Should a man attempt to live on bread alone, or flesh alone, or fat, or vegetables, he would sooner or later starve, through lack iv these articles-of diet of sone one 3 or more of the properties that are necessary 1 to the nutriment of the human body. But r on milk alone most persons can livethrive and grow. Milk has a value, beyond the 1 period of infancy, inuch greater than Is 3 generally thought. The old notion and practice was to starve a fever. The re sult was that the patient was starved, and 3 had no strength to rally when the fever was subdued. Fever patients are now carefully fed, advantage being taken of the daily "remissions'-that is, the hours of low temperature-and the digestive power of the stomach being aided by pepsin. The bland and nourishing properties of milk make it the main food for such pa tients, It is equally the bost food in many cases where the digestion has been im paired through overtaxing of the nervous system. 8oane patients, however, have 'found that it produced "biliousness," as they expressed it. But this has been largely due to using it as a drink between meals, instead Of as the pr-incipal part of the food alt meals. it has thus only in creased the stoniach's burden. Still, very weal stomachs have been unable to bear it even as ai article of food, especially in winter. The dilliculty is that tile cold temperature of the ilk has still further reduced the impaired vitality of the stomach. In such cases, let the person use it warm-sipping it ashot as it caln bo borne. This heat furnisles just tile stiiu lus needed for the process of digestion. An exclusively milk diet, with bread or boiled rice, for a few days, will ofteaa help a iper son speedily through a cold, or enmble im to rally IrOln a temporary attack of indi gestion. 11 EAi'ii o I imREN.-One of the si plest and best remedies to be given to children if they are troubled with worms is poplar bark. A well known physician has used this for years with inat ked suc c,s. It can be bought at any drug store, and a little paper costing five cents will often prevent sickness and possibly save a largo doctor's bill. If a child looks white around tHie llouth, with flushed cheeks and bad breath, it is safe to infer that lie is aiflicted with worms. I take a little pinch of bark, about as much as one would naturally take ip on the point of a penknife, aIl give it before breaklast; it hal1s a clean, bitter taste, and there is no difficulty in getting a chil to take it if you explain 'what it is for. A good way to regulate a child's stomach and bowels is to give him a little bowl of 0atnical- and milk every day, for breakfmat or dinner; see that, it is well salted, as salt pronotes di gestion. The aiilnents Of a chili always proceed fron the stoiach, and1(1 mutcl maiiy be dono for our children by paying sonic attention to their diet and so avoid giving medicine as imich ats possible.

"Wuy do \vomen so often wander ain lossly in the murky solitudes of the dead past, brooding over the days that are for. ever gone I" asked a young lady of her practical lover, who is a widower.
