OUR GARDENING NOTES. [Stt Work on Vegetables and Flowers by Messrs. Sutton & Sons, Heading.] FEBRUARY. The work of this month is to be carried on as weather permits, but with greater activity and more confidence, for the winter is, we hope, pretty well gone. Earnest digging, liberal manuring, and scrupulous cleansing are the tasks that stand forward in the work of the month as of pre-eminent importance. Many weeds, ground- sel especially, will now be coming into flower, and if allowed to seed, will make enormous work to keep them down. It is well, however, to remem- ber-what few people do remember, because the fact has not been pressed upon their attention- that weeds of all kinds, so long as they are not in flower, are really useful as manure when dug into the soil. Therefore, a weedy patch is not of ne- cessity going to ruin but if the weeds are not stopped in time they spread by their seeds and mar the order and decency of the garden. Dig them in, and their decay will nourish the next crop. If you practice early sowing and aim at the earliest possible produce of everything, you must be always ready to protect by means of litter, spruce branches, mats, and such like, as circum- stances require. Let not the weather surprise you; the vigilant gardener is always armed at all points, knowing not what an hour may bring forth. Read the notes for January before pro- ceeding further and in respect of what remains undone, spare the necessity of reminders here. FRAME GROUND should be scrupulously clean and orderly. Many things will require liberal water now, but water must not be carelessly given, because damp is hurtful during frosty weather. Take care that the plants are not crowding and starving, or they will come to no good. BEANS may be sown for early and main crops now, and with but little risk of damage by spring frosts. The driest and warmest situation should be selected for the early sorts, and the strongest land for the late ones. Most of the longpod section are nearly as early as the smaller sorts, and far more:profitable. But the smaller sorts are prized for a certain elesrance on the table, and they occupy but little space to give a very fair return. If any were sown in frames last month, take care to harden them cautiously preparatory to planting out: for if caught by a sharp frost, every plant will perish. BRocoLI. -Sow Walcheren on a warm sheltered border, and a pinch in a frame. With such an important crop at this time of the year, you ought to have at least two strings to your bow. CABBAGE may be sown in pans or boxes placed in a frame, to be planted out in due time for summer use. Where plantations stand rather thick, draw as fast as possible from amongst them every alternate plant, to allow the remainder ample space for hearting. It is well to remember that the smallest and loosest hearts of immature cabbages make a more delicate dish than the most complete white heart ever known. For our own eating give us a small cabbage, green all through but when grown for market, there must be bulk and substance. Cabbages are wanted at all times and seasons to mend and patch, and to make stolen crops, and take the place of anything that fails past recovery. CAPSICUM AND CHILI should be sown now or in March on a hot-bed and be potted on until the plants are fit to be placed in the greenhouse or conservatory. CAULIFLOWER.—Another sowing should be made under glass to supply a succession of plants. CORN SALAD thrives well in any soil not par- ticularly heavy, the best being sandy or a fertile or a fertile loam. Sow in drills six inches apart; keep the hoe well at work, and when read) thin the plants out to six inches apart. They should be eaten young. ConvE TRONCHUDA produces two distinct dishes. The top forms a cabbage of the most delicate flavour and colour, and furnishes the best possible dish of greens in autumn and the mid- ribs of the largest leaves may be cooked in the manner oLsea. kale. and will be found excellent. Though tender, this delicious vegetable may be secured for summer and autumn and far on into the winter, by successive sowing* in February, March, and April; the first sowing to be assisted with heat. The plants should be put out as early as possible an rich soil at from two to three feet each way; they must have plenty of water in a dry summer. The season of Portugal cabbage may be prolonged by taking up what plants are left before severe frost occurs, and heeling them into a bank of dry earth in a shed or outhouse. GARLIC to be planted in rows, nine inches apart and two inches deep, in rich mellow soil. LETTUCE.—Sow again on warm border and in frames. Plant out in mild weather any that are fit from frames and hot-beds, making sure first that they are well hardened. MUSTARD.-It is easy work, with a frame, to have muftvrd at any time, and many small sowings are better than large ones, which only result in a feast and a fast, or rather in waste to- day and want to-morrow. PARSLEY to be sown in the latter part of the month it will soon be wanted in quantity. PARSNIPS should be sown as early as possible, on the deepest and best ground as regards tex- turei but it need not be on the richest, for if the roots can push down they will get what they want from the subsoil, and therefore it is of great im- i portance to put this crop on gronnd that was dug I twice in the autumn. I PEAS.—Sow early sorts in quantity now, in accordance with probable requirements, but there will be a loss rather than a gain of time if they are ,-own on pasty ground, or during bad weather. We have now many grand sorts that are of moderate growth, and therefore occasion the least imaginable trouble in their management; but a few of the tallest are still in favour, because of their late bearing and high quality. However, there is time yet for sowing mid-season and late peas but the sooner some of the first earlies are in the better. It is customary to sow many rows in a plot rather close together, but it is better p a tice to put them sufficiently far apart to make room for two or three rows of early pototoes between every row of peas, and the latter are of great value to protect, the potatoes from those May frosts which often kill down the rising straws. A warm, dry, fertile soil is needed for first early peas. Those already up and in a bad plight should be dug in and the rows sown again. It is worthy of note that if peas are thoroughly pinched and starved by hard weather, they rarely pay for the ground they occupy so, if they go wrong, sacrifice them without hesitation and begin again. Where early rows are doing well take care of them, and put sticks to them at once, as the sticks afford considerable protection, and they may be rendered additionally protective by strewing on the windward side small hedge clippings and other such light dry stuff. POTATOES.—A small quantity foree-arly use should be planted when the ground is dry and the weather soft. If planted where frost or cold winds prevail, sets may become somewhat shrivelled before they are covered, and every care should be taken to maintain the initial vigour of the plant. The firsfc early sorts will necessarily have the chief attention nov and warm sheltered spots should be selected for them. And fairly good soil will produce a passable crop of potatoes, but to secure a first-class sample of any early sort, the ground should be made up with the aid, turfy soil and charrings of hedge clippings and other such light, warm, nourishing material. Strong manures are not to be desired, butamellow of kindly fertile soil is really necessary, and it will always pay well to take extra pains in its preparation, because all the light rubbish that accumulates in yards and such places can be turned into account with only a moderate amount of labour, and the result of I careful appropriation of such rubbish will be thoroughly satisfactory. Burn all the chips and sticks and other stubborn stuff, and lay the mix- ture in the trenches when planting, so that the roots may find it at their first start. Potato disease usually breaks out in autumn, and there- fore early planting is a safe panacea, for it insures early ripening of the crop, and consequently it is harvested before the time when disease generally appear. RADISHES, to be mild, tender, and handsome must be grown rapidly. If checked they become hot tough, and worthless. Much may be done to forward a crop by means of dry litter and mats* to protect from frost, removing the protection in favourable weather to give the crop the fullest jSossi ble benefit of air ana su nshine. Old worn -out frames which will scarcely hold together will pay tl?eir first cost over again with the aid of a little skill in growing radishes. In all cases, the long radishes are the best to sow early; th^turnip ana oval-shaped varieties are generally most ptized for late sowing. RHUBARB should be taken up and divided and planted again in rich moist soil, every separate piece to have only one good eye. Do not gather this season from the new plantation, but always- have a piece one year old to supply the kitchen. This method will insure sticks to be proud of, not only for size, but for colour and flavour. The small high-coloured sorts are the best for home use. SAVOYS are valued by some when small, and by others they are prized for size as much as for their excellent flavour when well frosted. Large savoys must have a long season of growth, therefore sow as soon as possible, either in a frame, or in a rich,, mellow seed bed, and be ready to prick them out. before they become crowded. SEAKALE.—The plantations reserved for latest supplies should not be covered until they begin to push naturally, and then the coverings must be put on to cause the sticks to rise white and tender. Open-ground seakale may be uncovered as soon as cut, but a little litter should be left about to give protection, and help the young shoots to rise, because the blanching and cutting of the sticks is a severe tax on the plant, and it now has to begin life afresh, and prepare for the work of the next season. SHALLOT. — It is not generally known that when well grown the clumps ar& bigger than a man's fist, and each separate bulb thicker than a walnut. To do. them well they must have time to plant early, on rich ground, in rows one foot apart and the bulbs six or nine inches asunder. Press them into- the earth enough to hold them firmly, but they are not to be quite buried. SPINACH.—Sow the round seed plentifully IF you overdo it the extra crop can be dug in as, manure, and in that way will pay. TOMATO.—In ordinary seasons and in the southern counties there is no difficulty in pro- ducing handsome tomatoes in the open borders j but to ripen the fruit with certainty it is impera- tive that an early variety be chosen. With the rise of latitude, however, the crop becomes. increasingly precarious, until in the north it is impossible to finish tomatoes without the aid of glass. For plants which are to ripen fruit into the open, a sowing should be made about the middle or end of this month, in the manner advised under January. TURNIP of a small white kind, such as snowball, may be sown on warm borders, but it is too early yet for large breadths in open quarters.

h POLLY." AWES rERN ^ROVER'S STORY. My name is Anthony Hunt. I am a drover, and I live miles and miles away, upon the Western prairie. There wasn't a house in sight when we moved out there, my wife and I, and now we haven't many neighbours, though those we have are good ones. One day, about ten years ago, I went away from home to sell some fifty head of cattle, as fine creatures as I ever saw. I was to buy some dry goods and groceries before I came back, and, above all, a doll for Polly, our- youngest child. She had never had a store doll of her own, only the rag babies her mother had made her. Polly could talk of nothing else, and went down to the very gate to call after me To buy a big one." Nobody but a parent can under-" stand how full my mind was of that toy, and how,, when the cattle were sold, the first thing I hurried off to buy was Polly's doll. I found a large one, with eyes that would open and shut when you pulled a wire. I had it wrapped in paper and tucked it under my arm, while I had the parcels ~of calieo and deliine^-tea. -wWd isugar. Then, late as it was, I started for home. It might have been more prudent to stay until morning, but I felt anxious to get back, and eager to hear Polly's prattle about her doll. I was mounted on a steady-going old horse of mine, and pretty well- loaded. Night set in before I was a mile from town, and settled down as dark as pitch while I was in the middle of the wildest bit of road I know of. I could have felt my way though. I remembered it so well, and it had almost come to that when the storm that had been brewing, lr )ke, and pelted the rain in torrents. I was then five miles, or may be six, from home. I rode on as fast as I could, but all of a sudden I heard a little cry like a child's voice. I stopped short and listened. I heard it again. I called, and it answered me. I couldn't see a thing all was dark as pitch. I got down and felt about in the grass. Called again, and again wa? answered. I began to wonder. I'm not timid, but being- known, as a drover, to have money about me, it might be a trap to rob and murder me. I am not superstitious, not very, but how could a real child be out in the prairie in such a nigbt at such an hour ? It might be more than human. The bit of a coward that hides itself in most men showed itself to me then, and I was half inclined to run away, but once more I heard that cry, and, saidi I, "If any man's child is hereabouts Anthony Hunt is not the man to let it die." I searched again. At last I bethought me of a hollow under the hill, and groped that way. Sure enough I found a little thing that moaned and sobbed as I took it in my arms. I called my horse and the beast came to me and I mounted and tucked the little soaked thing under my coat as well as I could, promising to take it home to mammy. It seemed tired to death, and pretty soon cried itself to sleep on my bosom. It had slept there over an hour when I saw my own windows. There were lights in them, atii I supposed my wife had lit I; them for my sake, but when I got into the yard I saw something was the matter, and stood still with a dead fear at my heart five minutes before I could lift the latch. At last I did it, and saw the room full of neighbours, and my wife amidst them weeping. When she saw me she hid her face. 0, don't tell him," she said, it will kill him.* What is it, neighbours, I cried, and one said Nothing now, I hope. What's that in your arms?"

That's Polly yonder with her in the meadow, a girl worth saving—(but I'm her father, and partial, maybe)- I think she is the prettiest and swetest thing this, side of the A St. Hilary.

MAN'S DOMINION. That man is great, and he alone, Who serves a. greatness not his own,. For neither praise nor pelf, Content to know and be unknown, Whole in himself. Strong is that man, he only strong, To whose well-ordered will belong, For service and delight, All powers that, in the face of wrong, Establish light. And free is he, and only he, Who from his tyrant passions free, By fortune undismayed, Hath power upon himself to be By himself obeyed. The merely great are, all in all, No more than what the merely small Esteem them man's opinion > Neither conferred, nor can recall THat man's dominion. THE LATB EARL LYTTON.
