Farmers who have gardens to culfci
Tate, wiJl find it much easier to put
and keep thom in good order by having
good tools and appliance. A perfect
I implement may cost a dollar more thau
a poor one, and enable the gardener to
pay for his difference three times
week by the moro rapid work it will
do for the twenty weeks ci tho season,
or sixty times over in a year. It is
therefore well to examine the tools on
band, put thoao in perfect order that
require it} and procure new ones where
desirable. In making garden bade
and planting seed, we olteu see uiuc
needless labor expended in drawing
single drills in a slow tedious manner.
A courne rake, made specially for
Baking dulls, will greatly expedite
the woik. A simple and very useful
on* for this purpose, consists of a
•tout wooden head and handle and
half a dcien thick wooden teeth. The
head may be five feet long, ,d have
six teeth about 10 inches apart. For
crops requiring wider rows, a largor
rake may be made, placing the teeth
a foot or fifteen inches apart. Or the
teeth may bo seven inches apart for
smaller plants, and for large ones only
every alternate drill planted. Make
the first set of rows straight, by run
ning the outside tooth along the
stretched cord, and afterwards lot tho
same tooth successively iollow in th«
last previous drill. Two or three such
rakes, of different size would otten be
of great use.
In some gardens, in tho absence of
drilling machines, such small seed as
turnips, &c, may be dropped rapidly
along the drills without stooping, by
nailing or screwing a small tin cup to
the lower end of a stick about the size
of a walking cane, and making a hole
in the bottom just large enough to al
low the seed to escape Walk along
the side of the drill, shaking the tin
cup over it by means of etick haudle,
and it will drop fast and well. With a
proper siaad hole, peas may be drop
ped fast and uniformly. It is well to
make several holes, of different sizes,
and plug up all but tho one in use.—

After the Spring rains are over and
the hot days have come, the newly-
planted fruit and ornamental trees, as
well as flowering shrubs and small
fruits, feel tbe effects ot heat and
drouth. Though they may have made
good start in tbe Spring, tho growth
flags in theso cold days, and while
the well established plants do not mind
it much, those set this .season are cvi-
dently suffering. Only those who have
tried it know the benefits of mulching.
After cultivating cr otherwise stirring
the soil, put br und tbe trees or shrubs
a good covering of straw, bog, salt, hay
or any similar material. Not a hand
ful, but a good, genetous covering, to
extend as far or farther than the tree
01 shrub are likely to spread. This will
prevent evaporation, keep the soil mel
low and smother the weeds. Currant.-'
and gooseberries are, in particular, ben
efited by this treatment, end there is
scarcely any plant that will not flourish
all the better for it.
A I N A S A A S JUS.
In the garden for family purposes
new asparagus beds should be made
now without delay, though any time
this month will answer. The best plan
in making theso beds is to excavate the
earth, whether it is soil or not, to the
depth of from twenty to twenty-four
inches, remove all the dirt except tbe
toil, and commence to fill up with a
good Isyer of horse manure, press it
Well down, then a layer ol soil, and then
manure again, leaving the richest ma
nure for tbe last eight or ten inches.
Plant twc-year-old roots of the Colos
sal variety, three feet opart each way,
with tbe crown of the roots from six to
eight inches beneath the surface.
Keep the beds clear of all weeds,
grasB, etc. The plants will make con
siderable growth the first season, and
the third season there will bo some
more spires fit to cut. The fourth
season, three years after planting, the
bed may be considered in its full matu-
rity. No salt should applied until the
bed is fully established. While there
is no better fertiliser than salt for a
bed once fully produced a crop—to be
applied early in April and as soon af
ter the fall dressing of manure is fork-
ed in as may be convenient—it is
death to the young plants, Salt de-
stroyes the weeds and grass, and must
be kept from box edging and young
trees, or it will destroy them too.
EvsaoaaiNs.—I am often asked tho
question: Can evergreens be trimmed,
and if so, when is the best time? After
quite a number of yeaiV experience, 1
hSve found the best time for trimming
•pines is after they have made most of
their growth, that is the wuite pine, Aus
train, Scotch and Corsman.
Evergreens gvow in the first part, of the
Season, and after they are nearly done
growing, before tho wood becomes hard,
pinch the new wood off with the thumb
and finger, or cut it with a knife. This,
I think, is the best way to trim pines.
For Norway ppruce and ba'sam fir it is
best to trim early in the season, before
they oemmeneo growing, say from tbe
first of March to the last of April, The
balsam does not require much trimming
unless it is out off the side limbs, so as to
keep tho tree iu good shape. It the toped
is eut off, the growth will be retarded very
much, in some cases for two years or
more. But this is not the case with the
Norway spruce if the top is cut off, it wil
Stake a vigorous growth in the same sea
son. As the wood is hard, it is best to use
a Sharp knife, holding the knife, so as to
eut from the underside thea it will not
Show.
For junipers, arbor vitse and red cedar
the best tool to trim with, unless large
limbs are out, is a pair of sheep shears.
Persons wishing their trees trimmed
Will find this way very good, and resulting
from experience. A very little time spent
will keep any tree in good shape,—Cor.

JAPANESB MARRIAGES.
How They Ar© Conducted.
From Bayard Taylor's new book about Japan in Our
day.
It is difficult for tho strnuger in Japan
to share to any extent in tho domestio life
of tho people, and heuoe almost impossible
to witness ihair family festivals and cer
emonies. In all the couutries of the ex
treme East, the marriago of a girl is char
acterized only by tho festivties which are
held in the house of the bridgroom. But
while the Chinaman is proud to invite for
eign guests to the wedding of his daughter
in order to impress tbe former with the dis
play, the Japanese, ou the contrary, sur
rounds the ceremcuies of the occasion with
tie most direct reserve. He considers it
too serious to be witnessed by any other
than tho nearest relations and friends of
the two parties.
Most of the Japanese marriages are the
result of a family arrangement, prepared a
long time iu advanoe, and usually charao
teriied by that practical good sense which
is one of their natural traits. The bride has
no dowry, but she receives a very rich
troussctu. liui it is necessary that the
should have a spotless reputation, a gentle
and amiable character, a proper education,
and skill to couuuet a household. Pecuni
ary considerations are of secondary im
portance, and they rarely take the form
of money. When a father who has no male
chill gives his only or oldest daughter in
marriage, her husband is called the adopted
son of the family, lakes the same name,
and inherits the trade or business of his
father in-law.
Marriage is preceded by ceremony a of be
trothal, al which all tho principal members
of the two fa.iiilies are present. It often
happens th»t the parties concerned then
for the first time are informed of the ia
teLtions of their parents with regard to
hem. From this time they are allowed
every possible opportunity of seeing each
other and ascertaining the wisdom of the
choice wherein they were not consulted.
Visits, invitations, presents, preparations
for furnishing their future home, succeed
each other, and the betrothed are soon
satisfied with their approaching destiny.
The wedding generally takes place when
the bridegroom has attained his 20th year
and the bride is in her Kith. Early on the
morning of tbe appointed day the trotseau
of the bride is carried to the bridegroom's
house and tastefully arranged in the rooms
prepared for the festival. The images of
the gods aud the patron saints of the two
families are also suspended there before a
domestic altar adorned with flowers and
heaped with offerings. Lacquered tables
support dwarf cedars and figures represent
ing the Japanese Adam and Eve, accom
panied by their venerable attributes, the
centenary crane and tortoise. Finally, to
complete tbe tableau by a lesson in morals
and patriotism, there are always to be
found among presents a lew packages
of edible seaweed and dried fish, which
suggest to the young couple tho primitive
nourishment and au.'ieut simplicity of
thetablespoonful
Japanese people.
Toward noon a splendid procession en
ters the halls thu? prepared the youug
wife, clothed and veiled in white, adraneas
e3corteJ by two bridesmaids and followed
by a crowd of relations, neighbors and
friends, in festal costumes glittering wih
brocade, scarlet, gauze and embridery.
The two bridesmaids perform the honors of
the house, arrange the guest?, order the
courses of the collation, and flutter from
one group to auoiher to see that all are
served. They are called tbe male and
female butterfly, which insects they are ex
pected to represent in th.3 siyle and orna
ment of their garments.
With the exception of certain Buddhist
sects, which admit a nuptial benediction
among their rites, a priest never takos any
part in the celebration of a Japanese mar
riage. There is nothing similar to a pub
lication of the bans, but the police officer
who ha given permission for a naptial
festival in tbe quarter under his guardian
ship inscribe another couple on his list.
The public kno*l.-ige of the act, there
fore, is as complete as possible.
In place of ur sacrametal Yes, they
have recourse !o an expressive symbol.
Among the objects displayed in the middle
of the circlo of guests there is a metal vase,
shaped like a basin, and furnished with
two spouts. This utensil is elegantly
adorned with bands of colored paper. At
a certain signal one of tho ladies of honor
fills it with saki the other takes it by the
handle, lifts it as high as the lips of the
kneeling bride and bridegro* iu, and causes
them to drink from it alternately, each
from tho spout on his or her side, until the
liquor is exhausted. It is thus that, as
husband aud wife, they must together
dram tbo cup of conjugal life, each drink
ing from one side, but both tasting the
-ame ambrosia or the samo wormwood.
The poor classes—one may say, the mas
ses of the population—are generally free
from the social vices which are enoouraged
among the higher classes by the license al
lowed to them. The households of the
shopkeepers, artisans, laborers, and culti
vators of the soil, exact the constant care
and toil of tho fatlier and mother, the un
ion of their efforts, in order to provide for
the needs of their families. There are wed
ded couples who labor and serve heroical
ly for years, in order to pay the expenses
of their marriage festival.
There is one rather amusing oustom,
however, whereby this excuse may be avoid
ed. A coaple of respeclale people have a
daughter, who is acquainted with a good
young fellow who would be an excellent
husband for her, except that he lacks the
necessary means to give her that custo
mary wed.ling presents and keep a free
table for a week for the two famlics. The
parents, coming homo from the bath ono
flue evening, do not find their daughter at
home. They enquire iu the neighborhood
nobody has seen her, but nil tho neighbors
offer their services in assisting tofindher.
The parents accept, the offer, and the pro
cession, constantly increasing in numbers,
passes from street to street, until it reach
es the dwelling of the lover. The latte
protected bv his closed screens, in vain
pretends to be dead he is at last obliged
to yield to tho demand of tho crowd. lie
opens the door and tbe lost daughter, in
tears, thrj\?s herself at the feet of her pa
rents, who threaten her with their male
diction.
Then the tender-hearted neighbors, mov
by tho scene, intercede the mother re
lents, the father remains haughty and inex
orable, the intercession of the neighbors
increase iu eloquence, and the young man
onuses to be the most faithful of sons-in
...w. Finally, tho resistance of the father
is overcome, he pardons his daughter, par
dons the lover and calls the latter his son.
All at once, as it by magic, cups of saki
circulate among the crowd, everyone takes
his or her place on the matting of the
room, the two outlaws are seated in the
midst of the circle, drink their bowls of
saki together, the marriage is proclaimed
in the presence of a sufficient number of
witnesses, and the polioe enters it upon his
list the next rn Tiling.
Bridal trips are unknown in Japan. In
stead of leaving tho newly-wedded pair to
themselves, every pretext is employed to
overwhelm them with visits and invitations,
always accompanied with feasts and pro
longed libations.

The Lehigh Valley (Pa Gazette pub
lishes this: A wealthy Williamsport gen
tloman became so much attached to a cler
gyman of that city, that he asked him to
preach his funeral sermon no matter where
he might be. The pastor promised that
ne matter what the distance that separated
them, of the difficulties that might be plac
ed between, he would, when informed of
the death of his old friend, drop all else,
and hasten to the spot that was to bo the
resting place of his mortal remains. The
pastor afterward removed from that vicin
ity, and a short time ago received the sad
announcement that his friend was dead.
Instead of keeping his promise, he replied
that he was unabie to be present, as he
cnnld not olose his church, etc. Tbe fu
neral took place in due season, but thetest
pastor was cot there te perform the last
sad rites over the body of bis departed
friend. The ceremonies, however, were per
formed by another, and afterwards, when
he will was opened, it ipptared that the
old man had been faithful in death as he
had in life, and bequeathe! $1,000 to his
old friend, prov.ded he preached his fu
oral sermon. His feelings c»n better be
imagiued than described, we suppose.
Aiolalitet Cake.—Four a cup of boiling
water on a cup of molasses, with a table
eoonpful of any shortening you may wish
10 this put a tablesroiuful of vinegar, a
teaspoonful of ginger or ground cinnamon
a teaspoonful of soda, and flour sufficient
to make a stiff batter. This makes one
loaf.
Soft Gingerbread.—Six^ caps of flour,
three cups of molasses, one cup of butter,
or suet well tried out mixed with a litlte
lard, one teasooontul ot ginger, one tea
spponful of soda and a little salt if butter
is not used.
Rice Soup.— Let the liquor in which
beef has been boiled stand over night,
then remove all the grease from the top,
put in a half teacup of rice, and let it boil
gently, a half hour. Season with salt,
pepper and butter, and thicken with a
couple spoonfulls of flour and water, stir
red together.
For Vegetable Soup, instead of (he rice,
put in the same liquor, add to it a quarter
of ahead of cabbage, chopped fine, a tur
nip, a couple of onions, if you relish them,
a half dozen potatos, all chopped fine sea
Ben to your taste. Put ia some of your
cold beef, hashed up. This makes excel
lent soup. Never be guilty of throwing
away the liquor in which you have boiled
fresh beef,
Apple Dumplings.—One quart flour, one
teaspoonful baking powder, one do- butter
mix baking powder well through the flour
and then the butter. Take sweet milk
enough to mix the same as for buiscuit.—
One apple to each dumpling, peeled and
cored wrap around it and then steam or
bike.
Pot Pie.—One quart flour, one'egg, ono
baking powder, a little salt.
Stir very stiff, and drop a large spoonful
in the meat when boiling. Serve as soon
as done.
—Farm accounts are of the greatest im
portance. No farmer can have any defi
nite knowledge of the profits or losses in his
tu-iness unless he keeps an account with
crops, stock, etc. The first of the year is
a good time to commence keeping such ac
counts.
A FIXED FACT.—Farmers if they want
to sell will find that they can get a thou
sand dollars moie tor their farms if shade,
fruit and ornamental trees are set out
aro md their premises, especially arouud
the buildings. Think of this, you farmers
of the Northwest. The expense is so small
iu sotting out shade trees, and so inconsid
erable in setting out ornamental and fruit
trees, that all can take advantage without
praying out but little money.—Farmer* Un
tin.
OLD CREAM.—It is settled beyond
all controversy that old cream will not
make butter. Churn orten. This is
an important item to the dairy makers
of the Northwest. Skim early, churn
early and sell early, is the true way for
our dairy folks.
—A New York farmer laughed when
his prudent wife advised him not to
smoke on a load of hay. He footed it
home that night, with his hair
singed, most of his garments a prey to
tho devouring elements, and the iron
work of the wairon in a potato sack
and then his wife laughed.
—A lady in Des Moines proposed to
a fascinating dry goods clerk. He
said, "Ask ma," reversing tho natural
order ot things to suit the year. "Ma"
was a keen observer, and she saw more
fashion than housekeeping in the young
lady. She answered "no," and the
young lady left disconsolate.
—At a masquerade ball recently
given in Scotland, an officer of inland
revenue managed to obtain admission,
disguised as one of the waiters, and
took a list of the names of all who ap
peared in powdered wigs. He has since
assessed them for double tax :or wear-
ing powder without a license, there be
ing a tax of five dollars per annum for
the privilege of wearing powder on the
head in Great Britain.
—It costs nothing to record a mort
gage iu Russia, one dollar in Germany,
tnree dollars in Italy. In Turkey no
property owner can give a mortgage
on his real estate. When he loans
money on it he has to obtain a perm
from magistrates of his city or town,
and they sec to it that he pays his cred
itor at the appointed time. A Russian
emancipated serf cannot sell his prop-
erty except when the whole of the tax
payers in the community allow him to
do no.
—In a little village in Vermont
there lived a farmer named Ransom.
They were uot pious people—rather on
the reprobate order in fact—and they
never went to church. Once, however,
duting a revival, the family were pre-
vailed upon to atteud preaching.—
When they made their reluctant and
tardy appearance the services had be
r.uu, and they had scarcely taken their
scats when the preacher gave out the
first hymn, reading it somewhat thus
"Return, ye ransom' sinners home."—
"All right!" cried tho head of the
R'in«ooas, getting up in a rage and
clapping his hat on hi? head. "Come
along ole woman and gals, we'll go
home ft st enough, and everybody in
this ole church knows we didn't want
to come.—Hearth and Home.
FOXHUNTING INTERFERED WITH.
Eu61ish farmers have lonjr protested
in vain against the destruction of har
vests entailev by iox hunting. Allien
their oouploiots wore di4reyarded, they
tried to build higher fences, but this
was expensive, aud a rough-rider was
npt to wreck yards of fencing by ore
bold leap. Eow, hiwcver, it is said
that f-'oy have devised a plan which,
if generally introduced, will almost en
tirely stop tho great English sport.
They have bcs un to place wires about
their knees at such a height that a
horse can leap neither above or below
them, and have si put an afiectual
quietus on following the hounds. In a
case brought before the courts, the
right of tenants to prevent their land-
lords from hunting over their leate
hold was triumphantly established.—
Reynard will probably lead afar quiet
er life in England than hcretofo:e.
—An Illinois paper thus details hf.W
an insane prisoner was treuted in the Il
linois penitentiary A conviot who be-
came insane was accused ot hypocrisy,
and was stripped, covered with crotou
oil, cupped in the back, alcohol poured
down his back till it was blistered, aud
then band and foot-cuffed and com
pelled to lio on the blister on a straw
bed. Two or three buckets of cold
water at a time would be thrown on
him in cold weather in bed and he
left chained down in this condition.—
This was continued a month or so. The
case, was reported by tho nurse that took
care of him.
