yA D A¢ C &4 §} J t M A We visited an enthuasiastic old friend, whose soil was profuse with weeds, and esâ€" pecially good solid purslane. These he had enrefully pulled and buried. We said to him : **Your rasberries are blistering. Your voung grapes are suffering from: drought. Your pear trees are dried and parched. â€" Your weeds would have served n capital parpose as a reulch about them, Indeed, among my berries I would rather hare creeping weeds growing than have the ground eracked with heat. Weeds can ulways be utilized by flinging an armful aâ€" bout the nearest tree. â€" Then spread them und â€" trumple. them down tightly, For summer they are one of the best possible mulehes. "Then drive to your wood shed or woodâ€" vile, or the nearest sawinill, and serape up a fow loads of rotting sawdust, and fineâ€"cnut chips. â€" Large chips serve as hidingâ€"places for evil disposed bugs and slugs, If this sawdust is fresh, run it through your stable as bedding. _ It bas the advantage of being free from seeds and is specially adapted to your evergreens, â€" Nothing is bettor for an nrbor vitis or hemlock hedge, or for a bed of Rhododendrons or kalmai, than a thick mulch of sawdust. It is almost equally good for pears and apples. The vaiue of ashes from anthracite cosl canmot be easily overestimated. They serve as mulch when no stimmlent is desired. They lighten the soil. They retain moisture on grassland. . But, above all, they are valuable about trees attacked by borers. The writer has seen thermo piled about ash trees which were ou the hizh read to desâ€" truction, but are now in restored vigor. | It is the best application, w.ll pressed down, about apple trees. It is eqaily valuable under goosberries and about rasberries. Baruyard manure should be used, like al rich composts, very spariugly about fruit trees, Cherries aud pears especially need to grow slowly to earefully ripen wood and prevent eracking of the bark. â€" Stimmilating manures roay be used ouly when the trce shows feeble vitiality or almost cossation of growta Straw, hay, and material that can be used in winter by mice suould, if used, be trodâ€" len closely, and, before colid weather, be eovered with soil or removed. As a temâ€" porary resort it is sometimes useful. It is especially well to gather up the wasto and trodden straw from yard or stock and use it among rasberries and strawherries. Fivally, a eapital muleh is providently furnished in auturan in the leaves that drift in corners and groves. Take them when damp and uso them for covering in winter and mulch jn spring. It is a crime to burn them. â€" They are intended to serve in summer for shade, in winter to protect the roots of trees. _ If run through the stable as bedding, they are vastly improved for alâ€" most all purposes. Poorly fed fowls give inferior eggs* jusi as cows on poor pastures yield styâ€"blue milk and little eream. _ Fowls never do betâ€" ter than when they have free range andneâ€" «ess to grass or roots, which they consume abundantly, together with inseets, seeds of weeds and grains.

Throw kim in ; rice can‘t burn; water shake him too much. Boil him quarter of an hour, or little more; rub one rice in thumb and fioger; if all rub away,him quite done. Put rice in cullender; hot water run away. | Pour wa‘er on him, put back rice in sauceâ€"pan, keep him eovered near the fire ; then rice all ready, Eat him up! A sheep‘s herd nicely cooked is a very palatable dish, and to cook it nicely here‘s a recipe :â€"Steep the head for two or three hours, then split it, take ont the brains and tongue, boil the head geutly for three hours with a few earrots, oniouns, a stick of celery, a bundle of sweet herbs, a few cloves, whole pepper, and salt to tasts, then brealâ€"crumb, und brown the head slightly in front of the fire. Mince the lights, eut the liver in slices, and fry them ; boil the brains in a piece of muslin. In dishing up, put the mince on a dish, then the head opened out,the tongue eut into slices, the brains divided into four, nnd the slices of liver ranged artistically all round; judicious seasoning is essential.

G. wood, *than in any other period of the year ; but there is one plan by which they may be bafiled. It is simple, but useful from its wery simplicity, and may be expressed in two wordsâ€"*brown paper.‘ There is no wuch protection againet the elothesâ€"moth as brown paper. Anuually thousands of valua« ble sealskin jackets and other furs are handed ovéer to the doalers for preservation @umig the summer, and nothing is done except wrapping them up in brown paper and letting them be until the dawning of autuman.. ‘There are <f â€"course, instances where furs and other gimilar articles must of necessity be k@l during the summer tims.

Red jasper and nmber are also proâ€" ductions of Cyprus. The slopes of the mountains are thickly clad with woods of oak, pine,cypress, beech, and elm, together with groves of olives,and plantations of mulâ€" berries. â€" Myrtles, various evergreens, and innumerable sweetâ€"scented flowers, adorn the northéern sides of the range and the narrow helt at its foot. Hyacinths, anâ€" emones, ranunculuses, the single and double flowered narcissus grow spontancously, and deck the hill slopes, valleys, and plains ; giving the country the appearance of an immense flowerâ€"garden, and regaling the senso of smeling with delightful odours. The vegetable productions are vines, olives, cotton, lemons, oranges, apricots, and others congenial to the climate and soil. Cyprus has always been famous for its wines, which are of two kinds, red and white, made from grapes superlatively rich and luscious, theirjace reserabling a consereated essence. _ These wines, however, are unpalâ€" atable to British taste, by their sickly sweetâ€" ness, which it requires almost a century to remove. _ They are strongly aperient, and must be drunk with caution. In colour, sweetness, and other properties, Cyprian wine strongly resembles Tokay wine. _ It is supposed to be perfect at forty years old, when kept in casks covered at the bungâ€" | hole with a thin sheet of lead. â€" Its qualities are then considered as truly balsamie Ail the valuable kinds are white, and the red is the comon wine. â€" Sugar canes wore anâ€" ciently very abundantly eultivated, till they were all burned by a Turkish packa. ‘The silk of Cyprus is of two kinds, yellow and white, but the former is preferred. The eotton is the finest in the Levant. Of the cerealia, wheat is the chicf, and of superior quality ; but there is little or no capital in the hands of the peasantry, and the exportâ€" ation of wheat is a monopoly, shared beâ€" | teen the rmoutsellim and the Greek archâ€" bishop, who export or retail at an advaced | price the whole aunual produce, which ‘ |they purchase at an arbritary valaation. & More than onee during the wart in Spain, the whole of the grain produce was purâ€" | chased of the persons above mentioned | by the merchauts of Malta, and exported, , | leaving the people without a morsel of bread. . | Game abouzds in this island,as partridges, , |quails woodeocks, and snipes ; but here , | are no wild animals, except foxes and haros, p‘ but many kinds of serpents, especially the ;| =Sp. whose bite is said to have caused the _| death of the infamous Cleopatra. â€" All kirds | of domestic anitaals and fowles are bred 1 | hore, where the nutives boast that the proâ€" , | duee of every land and every clime will no 1t|mI_v tlourish, but attsin even the highest :) point of perfeetion. â€" Cyprus is noted for its .E'n.u:ur;':u-nu‘- s of leather, printed eotions, | and the seeond for the permaneney of their | colours, which become brighter by washing. ii'lln‘ earpels are of excellent workrmaunship, * ‘ and though barely large evough foran Engâ€" | lish hearth, bring from 40 to 50 piastres a . | piece.â€"Spectator, Night of meeting, Tuesday on or before full moon of each mouth.
