Treuch and rough dig every vacant spot, clear away all decaying vegetable mutter by oommitting it to the soil as the process of digging goes oa. The prunings of trees aad shrubs, hedge trimmings, and clearing from plantations should be charred, and the ashea used aa top dressing. Le6 the winter supply of manure Ws wheeled or carted close to where it is wanted ; it should be laid. up in compost heaps, and covers with a few inches of soil to prevent the escape of fertilising gases. Seakale and rhn bach may now be covered up for fclaachi^g. Greenhouse f From this month until August, which period forms the winter and ordinary reiting-'season of nearly all the plants In this department, there are various routine matters that require occasional attention; thus eveiy two or three weeks the roil may be stirred up with adtf&ntftge to the plants s a little of the old being "sometimes removed, and new added in its place j dead and dflng loaves abould be removed daily.

Continue the operation of pruning and transplanting evergreen and deci dous trees and shrubpi The beds and borders which are now denuded of their summer covering should be deeply dug, and the soil thrown up ia as rough a manner as possible, so that the frost and air may penetrate freely through it. Ojrchabd and Fruit Garden, Id pruning gooseberry and currant bushes, all superfluous and cross wood should be cleared from the centre of fih« plants, so as to admifc plenty of air and sunshine*. Black currants should have a portion of the old branches cut away, la order to give plenty of room for young wood. Red currants fruit on what are called ' spurs,' Out back the yoißg wood close to those spurs, and leave about six inches oi last season's growth on the main branches, The side shootg of gooseberries should be cut back to one or two buds from the main branch, and the tips oi the main branches shortened, so as to give the head of the plant a uniform and regalar appearance.

Proof.

Th« experience given below by this well known citizen of Ashbnrton is easily proven. The proof she offers for her convictions can safely be left with the reader. It is a difficult) matter to des cribe an aoblng back or anjr of tha ilia caused by disordered kidneys. How to mi® the trouble la or rasch more impor tance, and the moat exacting resident of Ashbarton cannot; &sk for any better authority on this point than that given by Mra -Lockhard of Oox Street, this town,. who wya s *There is no doubt bab that Doan'g Backache Kidney Pills are splendid* For a number of yeans I have been In ne-.d of such a medicine for pains In the small of my back and giddiness and headaches. The pains were so bad that I could Eoarcoly turn la Hay,, bed and every move ment made me cry out. It was when I laid down I felt worse. Tha doctors said it was caused by Indigestion and I took pargative medicines bat with na good results. When I saw Doan's Backache Kidney Pills advertised I noticed that they wsre said to cure such cases of mine, so 1 got a box at the Ashburton Drug Oompaoy's shop. After using them & while I found them a cure for my troubles. They acted mildly and as a ionic making me feel energetic besides giving me freedom from pain. People use purgatives which weaken and im poverish the blood ; they should get Doan's Backache Kidney Pills which strengthen the system while they cure.' Do nofc be satisfied with any Imita tions of Dona's Pills. Remember it was Doan's Backache Kidney Pills which helped Mrs Lockhard, and if you Buffer the same aa she did you wanb the same remedy Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekespers aft 3a per box (six boxes 16s 6d), or will be posted on receipt of price by the proprietors, Foster, MeLsllan Co., 78 Pitfc Street, Sydney, N,S.W.

Then continue the Cherry Pectoral a -few days until your throat and lungs have completely healed and all danger of future trouble is past. Another grand thing about Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is that it cures hard coughs, the hardest kind of old coughs, even after ail other remedies have failed. Put up in large and small bottles. When it hurts your lungs to cough, then apply one of Ayer's Cherry Pec toral Plasters directly over the painful lung. It will quiet the pain, remove all congestion, and greatly strengthen. ] Prepared by or. J. C. Ayer Co., Lowell, Mass., U. S.
