BY AGRICULTURE WE LIVE. THE G ARDEN". To every farm a plat of land should be appropriated solely for a garden. To render a garden secure, it should be enclosed with a good fence, and to make it productive it must be dug deep and well manured, and the weeds destroyed, particularly in the early season of the year, till the vegetables have taken deep root, and by their vigorous growth covered the ground. A garden, well managed, is an ornament and a source of profit, but if neglected is a reproach and a loss to the owner. Though a garden affords neither bread or meat, yet it yields such a rich variety of sauce as renders less of each necessary, and at the same time gives a higher relish to both. A free use of the culinary vegetables, raised in a well improved garden, contributes much to the economy, support and health of a family but it is a subject of inquiry whether we do not consume more animal and less vegetable food than cur health or comfort requires. Vhoevc" refects on the products which cultivated garden' afford, will be satisfied that the profits of the lanu, as we., as the labor applied to them, are amply repaid for if our gardens have not been grossly neglected, they will afford us, early in the spring, before the frost of winter is dissolved, tresh parsnips of a rich saccharine nature. Later in the season, but as soon as vegetation will permit, our beds of as narap-us will yield a sunnly of one of the richest and most delicious pot herbs of preens, that our country affords and with due care will continue that supply for a considerable time. Early in the summer, and through the autumn, we may have a sufficiency of beets, carrots, peas and beans, and before mid-summer squashes and potatoes, and autumn will ripen the onions for use. A portion of these vegetables, as well as others not enumerated, should be preserved in the cellar for the use of the family in the winter. Though potatoes, strictly speaking, belong to the field, and should principally be raised there, yet a place is assigned them in the garden; but this is only done for the use of the family before those in the field are ripe. In a garden, the ground under fruit trees, if properly manured and carefull v managed, will yield potatoes, and so far from inju ring, will benefit the trees, by destroying the grass and weeds, and keeping the ground open and loose. Potatoes thus raised, afford an additional profit from the same land, and, what is of more importance, they save the time and labor of travelling to the field to gather them for daily use. The fruits that mav be raised frrm vines are convenient foi the family, and some of them ought to grow in every garden, such as cucumbers, melons and grapes. Melons are the richest fruit our climate yields, and grapes may be raised of a fine flavor, lhese vines may be cultivated wkh little labor and great success, and they require but small plats of land. Our ill success proceeds from not properly manuring our land, not keeping it clean, and suffering our vines to stand too near each other. The holes in which cucurnbers and melons are planted, should be three feet apart, and large and deep; they should be filled nearly full of manure frorn the hogstye, mixed with mould, and but few seeds put in each. The best cucumbers raised are from seeds planted the tirst ot June, but melons should be planted earlier. A portion of the garden should be appropriated to the growth of fruit trees, such as pears, quinces, peaches, and plums of various kinds. The pear and the plum tree is better suited to the cold, and suffers less from it than the peach. .The former should 1e placed to the north, and the latter' to the south; the hardiest tree would thn protect the tenderest against the mciemency ot the season. i It is important to select trees that will yield fruit ofa good quality and fine flavor. But fruit trees, as well as orchards, must be pruned, the ground manured and kept open, and the caterpillars and other insects destroyed. "It ought," says a late writer, at the same lime, to be recollected, that as .the improved and most delicious fruits have come of careful Cultivation, and are derived from originals of very ordinary character, so if the trees are treated with neglect, their fruit will degenerate, and in a. short time be ho longer cognizable as the same. The fruit which a o-ood trardpn will af ford is a luxury, of which everv farmer mav often partake, and that with small ex pense, li requires the labor and care of a tew hours only in the week during the season of vegetation. Such fruit of itself will make a better and more wholesome supper than roasted beef or poultry it will make a poor dinner rich. But there is another species of fruit, which has not been mentioned, which ought to be raised in every garden. Currant bushes may be raised with ease, and preserved with little labor for n long period They may be multiplied by dividing the roots, or what is much easier by simply set ting the slips into the ground. They ought to be set in rows, each bush from three to our feet from each other, so as to admit the sun, the air, and the hoe freely between them. And if the ground is kept open, well manured, and the grass and weeds destroyed, they will yield abundantly. Their fruit is wholesome, and a jelly may fee made from them that is not only pleasant and agreeable to the palate and stom

ach, but useful in inflamation of the throat. I 7 . n

The Goosebery is a native ot Europe. The bush is propogated by cuttings or suckers, but the former way is preferable, as the roots are less likely to shoot out suckers. Straight shoots should be selected, about 8 inches long, and planted about half the length, in good mould or light earth. The best time for planting them is in the autumn, just before leaves begin to fall. It is desirable to sow the seeds of ripe gooseberries, as by this means you have the chance of new varieties, and the bushes generally grow in a better shape than either by cuttings or suckers. In pruning these bushes, observe to keen the stem nuite free from shoots, at least that from ten or twelve inches from the around, there be but one regular stem They may be trained on trellis work, where the fruit has grown ana npeneu eu ; and it is a most desirable method for small gardens, as they have a neat appearance, take but little room, and form a good back ground to flower-borders. Gooseberries are preserved in the green state with little trouble or expense, so as to retain their natural flavor for tarts or cream, &c, and, when ripe, they make ex cellent jam, and a delicious and ornamental sweat-meat. To procure Gooseberries large tor the table, it is desirable to cut off with a pair of scissors all the small berries, which are equally good for the purpose of tarts. Tennessee Farmer. MAKING CHEESE, As practised in one of the most eminent Dairies in Nete England. Add the night's milk with the morning's, and heat it gentle over a fire until well warm, then put in a tub or vat with sufficient prepared annatto to give it a handsome yellow color. Put rennet sufficient to make it curd in 25 minutes; when curded take a wooden knife or sword and chequer it all into squares to the bottom; let it stand from 15 to 20 minutes, or until the whey appears above the curd; break it up carefully with the hands in such a manner as not to bruise or break the pieces of curd; next put a clean strainer on top of the curd so as the whey may anse on top, and lade it off with a dish or dipper; then put a cheese strainer in a cheese basket over a tub, and carefully re move the curd and remaining whey into it, and cut it into slices with a thin skimmer until the whey has mostly drained out; then bring the corners of the strainer to gether and twist them, so as to bring the curd in a solid mass, and put the twisted corners down in the basket, and a clean board about 1 foot square on the top of it, on which put about twenty weight, in order to press out the whey. After remaining about 15 minutes, the curd is to be cut in pieces about one inch square, and put back again with the weight on, and remain from 10 to 15 minutes, and then cut as last stated, and put back again, and so repeated from 6 to 10 times; or until the hey Kb entirely done dripping from it; alter which take it out and cut it in pieces of about two inches square, put it in a wooden bowl and chop with a chopping knife until the pieces are the size of Indian corn. The next is scalding the curd, which is done by putting it in a strainer and putting in the kittle of whey heated to blood warmth, for if the whey is too hot it will ruin the cheese, and make it dry and hard ; while in the whey it must be stirred with the hand until the whole is equally heated; then it is taken out and put in a cheese basket over a tub and clean fine salt thoroughly mixed, to give it a high salt flavor, and let it stand until hardly bloodwarm, then the corners of the strainer are twisted together as before, and put in the hoop and pressed, in this instance, with a weight of 100 lbs. to every 10 of cheese, to remain about half an hour, taken out and turned and re-placed in the press and add about one third to the weight then let it remain 3 hours. Then take it out and put it in a fine clean linen cloth, perfectly smooth, and no wrinkles in it; put it again in the press and press 48 hurs, being taken out and turned once during the time. At this pressing about one third additional weight must be added. It must then be taken out, oiled, and put on the shelf, where it must be turned, rubbed and oiled at least every 24 hours. From long experience, I have found it the best method of making cheese. Tennessee Farmer. LICE ON CATTI.E. I have found that a stronsr decoction of loDacco washed over a beast infected will generally drive them away; it sometimes makes the beast very sick a short time. But a better way is to mix plenty of strong scotcn snutt in train oil. and rub the back and neck of the creature with it, which will effectually kill ordrivc away all vermin from a quadruped. Mr. John Lane Boylston, in a commu nication published in the N. E. Farmer, vol. viii. p. 19, recommends white wash ing the interior of bams, stables, &c, as a remedy for lice on cattle; and likewise advises shearing the cars, and between the horns in the fall before they are put up to hay. He says in white washing no must be used, as is usual on the outside of ouuoings, lest the cattle should lick it off. Wc also have been informad by a gentleman who has, for many years, kept a large stock of cattle, that" firm nrv snnH scattered on the back, neck, and sides of me animals, is an effectual remedy against lice on cattle. He collects dry sand, and puts it in a box or tub in the barn, and occasionally applies it during the winter, by sifting or strewing it over the body of the creature, with complete success in ridding it of its troublesome gucsts.-.V.
