GARDENING.

VEGETABLES.

Cbopmno the Garoen — Now that we are enjoying a comparatively leisure time, and especially »9 a considerable part of the vegetable garden is lying vaoaiit, a good opportunity occurs for arranging the dis position of the various crops for next season. Some system of a rotation of crops ia adopted by all good gardeners, something of the kind being now (and very properly) regarded as abaolu*ely essential to a satisfactory result. But though the import&nco of the principle it acknowledged on all hands, it might m rery m »ny instances b« muoh more carefully studied with the greatest advantage, so that a few words on the subject may not be out of place here. It ia hardly within our province to go into the why and therefoi c of the necessity for a frequent change of crops, or what oomes to precisely the same thing— ohange of soil ; suffice it to say that it if siojply a matter of chemistry db a rule, and that it wises from the fact of atmoat every olass of plant requiring and extracting from the soil— «o long as it is to be had a different or at any sato differently propor tioned set of principles or chemical consti tuents. Thus some plants need a larger tupply of lime than others, or than anything else, others more soda, phosphoric ftoid, potMh, or silica, and If these are not present m the soil m ■offioiont quantities, the plant* suffer for want of them ; or, to use a familiar phrase, the ground becomes « tired "of that particular orop, which, oorieqqently, no longer succeeds as it ought and us«d to do. The only way of meeting this difficulty without changing the position "" of crop is to~ continue" to supply the required prinoiplesasthey become exhausted, with almost the regularity and exactness of a chemist's prescription, only, of course, on a much larger scale, but though practicable, this is by no meana an easy matter to carry out m practice, and the alternative of pro viding each crop with "fresh fields and pastures new," if not yearly yet as frequently as possible, is therefore very properly pre ferred Here, as a. rule, the fresh crtp Una's abundance of the substances for which it craves, and which the previous occupants, only requiring these m very small quantities, If at all, have consequently left almost an diminished. The correct system of the rotation of Vegetable crops m a very simple matter, if looked at from a common-sense poiot of view, and the first principles clearly under stood. The first and main axiom to be followed is that crops of a like nature i.e., that belong to the same natural order, must not follow each other; and the second, that the more widely succeeding crops on the same ground differ m character the better. Thus, no member of the Brassica fami y should be allowed to follow another, much lees a crop of any one kind, such as cabbage or broccoli, be taken from the same piece of ground twice m succession. Any descrip tion of root crop, such as turnips, parsnips, carrots, beet, salsafy, onions, eto , may, however, advantageously succeed the above, and vice versa. Or any kind of leguminous vsgetftble, such as peas, beans, or lentils, may succeed any of the Braassica tribe, or may follow any root crop, vice versa. Also, what are known as unbelliferous plants, which includes celery, parsley, and parsnips, should neither proceed nor follow any description of rooti Spinnach stands almost alone, and may precede or succeed any crop except beet. Beans should never follow peas, nor peas beans, both belonging to the same natural order of leguminacce ; m like manner no two of the alliaceous plants, which include onions, leeks, Bhallots, garlic, etc , should be taken successively from the same plot, and so on. Further, whenever possible it is desirable that a fruit crop, such as strawberries or raspberries, should follow any kind of vegetables ; and, again, anything that re mains for some years m the same ground, as either of the above, rhubarb, or anything of that kind, should as far as possible be succeeded by a short-lived crop, as let'uee or some other salid plant, cabbage, and so forth. Plants grown for seed should also not be grown on the same ground twice m succession.

sJerioujs Railway ' Accident, — ' '• ~ • Sydney, Jnne 15 A serious accident occurred on the Oooma railway early this morning. The p scene of the accident was near Ooul- ] burn, aboutl3s miles S.S.W.of Sydney, ~^ It was pitch dark m the early morning when ft mixed train, consisting of a large number of trucks, and two L carriages containing twenty passengers, S became partially derailed. The loco- motive and several of the trucks rolled over a shallow embankment, but fortu- nately the rear portion of the train, r which included the passenger carriages, remained on the track. The driver, tl McGregor, was badly scalded along the back by the escaping steam. The , fireman, Morris, bad a most miraculous escape, is he was imprisoned by the overturned trucks, and the debris had to be cast away before he could be ( released. He did not, however, escape se&thelesß, as he received a slight scald- ing and a few bruises. Although the 1 passengers sustained a shook, none were seriously injured, but there was con- siderable injury to the rolling stock. Any one who has children will rejoioe with L. B.
