The ti is noar nt hand when the housewife is thinking of jdant - in.' her kitchen garden ami the uardciicr is preparing his hot btds iu which to start tlm younjf and tender plants, that he may be tho iirst to till tho orders of customers ami reaj tho benefits of an early markot. As their time aijrals, tcarH of tho early frosts ari-o in many minds, and the Ucs(iou of "protection" bctome 0110 of equal moment to us, regard less of polities The 'common method of uing blankets to protect early eetables lunnn: tho cold map that is sure to follow the iirt line weather In the sspriug of the year, is at the best, a bunglosomo nud even a laborious operation; but it is the prevalent opinion, if Homethin of this kind in not done the gardens will show the neglect when the harvest time arrives. These early, aud seemingly un timely frosts are not only a source of danger in the spring but also in tho fall, for at this ae:;ou early and light frosts do even more damage than in the ppring. If there is any way aside from tho common, that these frosts may be averted even for a few days, great good may be se cured. The scientist knows of a method and its tiimpleness puts it in the reach of everyoue. lly a number of experiments at the "Agricultural College" gardens, it is shown that by watering tho plant quite freely, it escapes injury by frot. Tho reason for this is, that the water cvaporatos ami envelopes the plant in an atmosphere' saturated with watery vapor anJ this prevents the escape of radiant heat. That the best results may be obtained from tho watering method, the air needs be quiet, which is generally the state at night time. The following experiment was made by l'rof li. C ICtdzio of the Mich Agr,l Coll. The experiment was made with some plants known to be liable to injury by frost. A pot of coleus plants, and another of fuchsias and begonias, were watered with cold water about nine o'clock in the even ing. In the same yard were similar plants, but exempt from tho baptism The inoruing after the experiment tho watered plants were free from every trace of frost, while every re maining plant was ruined. Oilier experiments gave similar results. This is certainly a simple, easy and acceablo way of protecting tender vegetables. Very hard frosts would hardly bo averted in this way but as the "little foxes steal the grapes" the slight frosts do tho most damage. L. Avt:uv.

Thi3 can be, nnd should be avoided; our people are too careless about an -ordin iry cough or cold, and other symptoms of throat nnd lung affections that lead to this disease You should arrest it while it is iu the germ. T wo or three doses of Dr. Uo.sanko's Cough ami hueg Syrup will relieve an on'.imry cough or cold. It do-s not dry up a cough like many preparations on the market and leave liie disease behind it, but acts directly on the throat and bron chial tubes, removing nil the phlegm and morbid matter, that accumulates in the throat aud lungs. It allays all iriitation, aud renders the voice clear and distinct. Sold by F. A. Dakar nkv cooas ! Sara-ins 2Tor All- PRICES AWAY DOWN. Lower than the Lowest.
