THE GARDEN.

(By Hortus.)

Calendar Operations, June sth, 1883.

Kitchbn Garden.—Operations in this department will almost be at a atandstill for the next few weeks. Keep weeds down whenever the state of the soil will allow. Hoo between the rows of vegetable', dig all pieces ot ground aB they become vacant, earth up all young crops as they re quire it. Celery will need frequent atten tion in earthing up. In favourable weather fork between tho rows of cabbage and cauli flower, and earth up. For a few weeks during the winter I shall only allude to matters occasionally, aB may bo required in this department. . Flower Garden.— During the winter months I shall only describe a few of the general favourites in this department. Continue planting out permanent flowering plants such as camellias, azaleas, heaths, bouvardms, „. When planting, pay particular attention to the height which the different plants attain, placing the tall-growing ones at the back, and the smallest at tho froot, and at such a distance apart that when full grown they will not interfere with one another. Make yourself acquainted with the different colours of tho flowers, arranging them in such a manner as to have a harmonious effect. All climbers should now receive attention- cut back or extend as may be required. Keep everything neat and clean. übeen House.-In this department all young growing plants will require to be kept as near the glass as possible. Give plenty of air in fine weather, Go over the plants occasionally, and remove all docayed or decaying leaves. Calceolarias, cinerarias, and primulas, repot when necessary. Syringe on fine bright sunny morninßS. Mignonette iv boxes, thin out. anel give plenty ef light and air, so as to prevent straggling growth. I intend in this department to deal with a few pot plants during tbe winter,

GARDEN FENCES.

This has always been a vexed question in some parts of New Zealand, particularly in the North. It U too expensive to build oither atone or brick walls, and wooden fencing not only does not last well, bnt ia costly and troublesome to keep in repair. Now, as to tho best kinds of plants tor a live fence : In the Middle Island the quick and privet do well, and the holly also makes a magnificent fence if properly kept in order. But in the North Island tho quick does not grow very well in some situotionß (only on deep alluvial soil) Where it does grow, the leech attacks it in the middle of the summer, stripping the leaves oil, and making it look an unsightly object, when it ought to be at its best; unless hellebore or lime is used for killing the pest when it appears, which always creates trouble and expense. The privet, not succeeding in the North as it docs in the South, it will not hde tbe quick'b nakedness in the winter, in Auckland we must therefore turn to sotuo other plants for a good, permanent live fence for the garden. And of all those whioh we at present possess, lhe _ycium Hovidum or African box thorn, is the best, It should be planted in well-trenched ground, with a good supply oi boues or other manure to give the piauts a good start, h. plant of thellroagnus Japonica, planted with the other at intervals of six feet, will enhance the appoaraneo and closeness of (he fence. The ordinary distanre apart for quicks ■will do for the above, abont nine inches apart in the lino of fence, seed of tho African box can easily be obtained from any seeds man or nurseryman. It will be better to obtain young plants of ihe o her from the nurserymen. These two hedge olants will require a good deal of cutting to keep them neat, trim, and in good order, but will make splendid cattle-proof fencing for either garden or paddock. Bat for orna mental purposos ihechorkee rose makes a vety beautifol fence. Iv good situations, in the woy of on orsamental fence, nothing in my estimation can come up to tho Bougainville Galahra. Its leaves havo a Sretty nice green appearance ; and when in ower, it displays a perfect mass of bright magenta blossom*, lasting some consider able time. It m nst be raised from cuttings, and they are difficult to strike without bottom heat. For small town lots, with from fifty to one hundred feet frontage or more to a street or roadway, it is beat to put down a good permanent fence ot con crete or brick, surmounted with a cast iron fence, pointed either da.k brown or dam green, tbe concrete portiou white. There ore some very nice designs iv iron fences already manufactured iv the colony. I wril odd a few details for those who plant live fences. The autumn betoro plant ing out the young plants, prepare a trench where the hedge is to be planted. As tbis work has to be done but one, do it well. Tbe trench can be made with a plough, and, if there is a bard subsoil, break it up. Make it eighteen inches deep at lea-t, and three feet wide. If the natural soil is rich and friable, nothiog may be needed, bur, as a rale, it 1« well to use something, and mack is excellent, or plenty of rough nones. Plants of a nearly uniform siz. should 06 selected. At least, this is tbe most satis factory way, as then wo have something like uniformity from tbe start. Bat if tbey oaanot be bad, take such as appear healthy and vigorous, without regard to size, and rely on future cutting back and training to bring uniformity. This is not at all difficult. If Ihe hedge hto bo planted on a straight line, make it veiy straight. A marking line should be used, and great care observed not to displace it—makes one almost sick to see a crooked, wabbling hedge, where it ought to be perfectly straight. An old place will sometimes have large trees near where the owner wants his hedge. If so, they should he removed if they can be spared. If that is not possible, extra care must used, or the bed go will be more or less a failure under and near largo trees. If they stand at such a distance that their roots reach the hedge site, and are not immediately against it, cut tho roots away and pat fn an extra <_uautity of manure, and keep them shortened in for some ye*rs if possible. Give the hedge extra care each season, by hoeing. In\ this way" R may succeed near or even up against a large tree, but trees are usually a eerio\as disadvantage. \ Cutting back is a very important matter* in hedge growing. Indeed, there is no success without is. This applies to all hedges, deciduous as well as evo.greon. a hedge is no hedgo unless it is thick at the bottom. Catting back will make it Bo thick that hardly a bird can pass through it, if the work is begun early. It is for tbis reason that the plants should bo small, as then they aro sure to be branched low down, or, if not, they should be re jcetod. If one is not branched quite low cnongb, and still has good limbs within two or three inches of the right place, set it deep enough to make it right. The first step in cutting back is to jnst snip tbe leaders. That leads to thickening -up. As to tho side branches, clip those jtbat project beyond the rest, when a '

pyramidal form is secured. Those at the bottom should always be tho longest. The first-year the growth may not exceed four or five inches, and if so, snip it again the second winter or spring, but aim to have a nearly uniform height, though exactness is not important yet. But by the third year out all back to say 30 inches or thereabouts. if any have failed to reach that height, let them alone, or merely clip the end. Each year add a few inches, say 1 foot, until the desired height is reached, which usually should not exceed five feet, unless for a screen. Merely as a border, and not as a fence, three feet is high enough. Have the greatest width at the bottom, and never attempt to hove the sides perpendicular and the top fiat. That is an unnatural suap», and sends most of the new growth to the top, where it is wanted the least. A hedge trained for long life and service will be nearly or quite six feet through at the bottom, and rounded up like a sugar loaf at the top. animals as well as men or boys, are less likely to attempt to pass it, 'he implement to use in pruning is hedge shears, with blades about one loot long. With these the work can be rapidly done, aud effectually. . ~v«SS r.3 ~Z^Z." if tbe owner desires to engraft a little " fancy work" in his hedge, that is easy enough. The man who with plenty of means thinka to expedite matters by buying large and costly plants, will notgainmuch in the end, it, indeed, anything at all. A hedge is the work of time and skill only. Money cunnot buy it and make it at ooce beauti ful, targe plant-, besides their cost, aie unwieldy, and cannot be shipped, handled, or planted with the success of small ones, Some die outright, and others die lingering deaths, leaving gaps that will require many years to fill. It is a kind of woik in which tho moat, speed will be made by going slowly and methodically. Money will build a new house in a year or so, out not a perfect hedge. That will require five or cix years at least. After that it will not need much care, except the annual shear ing. To make such a hedge impassable to man or bea-t, as soou as convenient after plant ing, stretch a barbed wire over it at ten or twelve inches from the ground, aud another later on at about thirty or tbiity-six inches. Place strong posts of wood, iroo, or stone at the ends, while midway wooden stakes will suffice at first. As the bedgo grows, •he wires will be enclosed, supported, and concealed, and no marauder, after one at temot to pass it, will be in a hurry to try it a second time. If the plants aro of them selves very stiff and strong, making a barrier when they have attained age which few will attempt' to pa-s, and when two barbed wires are enclosed, it will require tools to clear a passage. Even a fowl can not easily poss a well-grown hedge.

Fruit Growing.

(Continued from Last Week)

Last week printers' errors occmred in a few of the names of the frnit trees. Apples: Cellinii, Reinette de Canada. Apricots: Peach. Peors : Dozenne ,d' Eto, Brown Benrre, B. Diel. Pruning.—The benefits to be derived from a systematic cou-se of pruning are not generally understood in New Zealand, and I iutend to give a eeriei of ortioles up»n thi« subject. I will first glance at a few of tho advantages to be gained by a proper use of the knife. The production of blossoms, and the matmi'V of truit they engender, is the usual object of sopping, pruning, and training —confessedly three of the practices requiring most judgment in the gardener's art—foi if the branches are too much reduced in length or number, or are unfavourably trained, tbe production of leaves is induced, and the production or blossoms proportionately prevented. Pi uu ing may be divided into three kinds - root pruning, winter or rest pruning, and sum mer or growth pruning, wo far as the scienco of gardening is concerned, it has to bepractiaedfor the following objects;—l. Tbe admission of more light; 2. Kelieving oppressed trees ; 3. Furnishing blanks ; 4. Inducing spars. Ist. Admission of light, That the removal of a portion of the shoots or branches of a tree will enable tbe remain ing portion to receive a greater degree of light, is self-evident A free andequal ad mission of light tends to produce an equality in lhe branches, and, by consequence, equality in tbe character and size of the fruit. For, ia trees totally onptuned, we may often see a few fins fruit just ot the extremity of the branches, whilst tbe re mainder, especially the interior, is crowded with produce different both in size and quality. 2nd. Helieviog oppressed trees. If, through overbearing, general debility, age, conker, or temporary loss of power, through removal or any adventitious cir cumstance,treesevince weakness,—pruning, judiciously performed, Is a certain relief, and very frequently a permanent one. 3rd. Furnishing blanks. 1 hia, indeed, with re gard to young trees especially, is one of the moat important ends of rest-pruning. The chief misfortune is that, in attempting to carry out neat systems of training, much sacrifice of wood, which would otherwise prove of fruitful character, is opt to be mode. Ihia, indeed, ia almost inseparable from a systematic coarse in the earlier stages of toe tree; atiU a judicious course oi summer stopping ond timely training will save a twig which otherwise falls before the band of tie rest*pruner. To be continued.

A Child Incubator.

A child incubator is tbe latest French invention. A Dr. Taveruier, noticing the immense success of the chicken incubators, resolved to make an experiment in the foundling hospital to which he was at tached. Tbe doctor constructed his child incubator on precisely tbe model of the ordinary chicken incubator. He then selected "a miserably made infant," who had come into the world at an inju iciously early period. The infant was placed, in tbo incubator, with a nursing-bottle, »ndkeptin a dark room. It ceased to cry on the second day, and, to the surprise of the doctor, though it had been a preternaturally sleep. loss child, it Bonk into a deep and quiet sleep. It remained eight weeks in the in cubator, during which time it never once cried and never remained awake except when taking nourishment, At tbe end of sixty days, when it was removed from tho incubator, it had the appearance of a healthy infant of at least a year old. He then tried a child of six months, addicted to the usual pains and colics. Ihis child conducted itself as its predecessor bad done, never cried, spent its whole time ia sleep, aud grew as if it had made up its mind to embrace the Vc.areer of a professional giant. It had doubled its weight in six weeks, resembled a cli :Ud of three years, and could actually walk by holding on to a convenient piece of furniture?. Xhrdoetor now has an incubator of the capacity of _!00 infante, and in it bas placed evory one of tihe 3GO infants, varying from eight days to t'levon months, who were in the hospital.

Italian Railways.

I think I mentioned in my last that the Carnival at Nice was to c ntinue for a week. Bat the fan and frolic of two days were quite sufficient for me. After the battle of the flowers, I made preparations to depart. Many were like-minded, as was evident from the crowd on the platform when I reached the station. The bustle and confusion were almost bewildering, especially to those who heard but could not understand the incessant chatter and iobbering of the employes. Here let me cay . a word or two that may be useful to tboae who travel in Italy. Take as little luggage as possible. Nothing is carried free except light hand-bags or packages that may be taken into the carriage. Fellow paseengera complain if they are incommoded by the Bize or number of tbe articles attempted to be introduced. I'be lugga.e department, however, is tolerably well orgauised. By taking care that your package* are correctly weighed and marked for delivery at tbe station you intend to stop at-for the officials are not immaculate—and obtaining a receipt ticket when you pay the amount charged, you are relieved irom further trouble. On arriving at your destination, give the ticket to the porter of the hotel to which you are going, who is in charge of tho omnibus belonging to tbe establishment, and ho wiU do all the rest. Owing to tho crowd, and tho tush towards tho carriages when the train drew up, it was not easy to find a seat. The employ.-, seem to think it no part of their business to help a traveller in such straits. But the porter who carries your valise, or whatever may Be intended for the carriage, from the waiting-room, may be utilised. He knows that the centimes will not be forthcoming til you are seated, and therefore he is as anxious rbout ihe matter as yourself. It waa by the intervention of one of these necessary, but otherwise importunate and troublesome hoi gers-on, that I got squeezed into a carriage that I had considered already full. However, aa tho distance to Moute Uarlo, my next atoge, was not great, the tempoiary inconvenience was of no great consequence. jsorth Italian Scenery. Soon alter leaving the station we passed through a tunnel, crossed the Paglione, and then tan along the valley of the stream and through another tunnel of considerable length to the village of Villatranca, A good many comfortable looking villas give character to this snug little place, which is surrounded by olive-crowned heights. One villa was pointed out to me by an en thusiastic native, travelling on the some carriage, as pre-eminently grand, Mentally I pronounced it pre-eminently vulgar and pretentious. A more prepoaterous example of grandeur I never be held. It was painted a glaring nd colour, .hough, larger than tho other villas, and different in style, being an attempt at the ■ riental, 1 considered it aa offence against good taste. I did not venture to express my opinion, however, but con tented myeelf by acknowledging, the •ucomiums of tho eothusiast by tbe conven tional " Si ci." We passed Be-ulieu, another viiia*e emtowored amisst olive (.roves ; some of tha trees were very large, and evidently of groat age. The peninsular of St. Jean forms tbe boundary on one side of the village, and on the .xireme point are tbe crumbling ruins of a ca.uo, dating back to the times of the Saracens, What revelations of revelry and rapine would be disclosed if those time-worn, moat-grown stones could apeak, and tell the history of those times 1 Louis XIV. had this stronghold diamonded, and ever since, tbe remains, so suggestive in their silent gtimness, hove stood looking down the verdant slope that stretches towards tbe sea, the dlstaui sky line scarcely to be dis tinguished from the deep blae water. Here one might spend many pleasant honr. musing, ond reviving iv imagination the stirring scenes of by-gone days. Eza was ihe next settlement that came : into view. It ia perched on a rooky emm- ' ence, and in days of yore was a favourite resort of the Saracen freebooters who infes ted the coast, aud mainly subsisted by plundering and levying block moil upon the peaoeful inhabitant* of the surrounding dis tricts. Alter leaving Eza, o provokiogly quick succession of tunnels sheet out the oountry from view. It was travelling in the dork, nod I but known, beforehand that I was to bo whirled along gloomy subterranean passages, l would have left the train at <■ zu and taken an ordinary vehicle to Monuoo. I wouM strongly advise those who may hereafter travel tbis route to act upon this eaggeation. By so doing they will not miss seeing some of the finest scenery in tbe Riviera.

Europe's Great Gambling Centre*

But the disagreeable portion of the jour ney come to an, and at lost, ond we emerged out of the murky region into the brightness and beauty of tbe precinct* of Monaco. This township gave the name to a Prin cipality of about five or six Bquare mhos of territory, c.t out, as it were, from ihs kingdom of Franco. The reigning Prince -barles exercises sovereign jurisdiction over his vast empire, and derives a large, if not the largest, part of bis revenue from tbe gaming tables of the Casino at Monte Carlo. These tables ore now in the hands of a company, who pay the Prince a large annual subsidy, and, in addition, defray the expenses of his house hold. The net profits of tbe roulette and roue tt voir tables that aro constantly going at tbe Casino must be enormous, to make it worth while for tho oompany tp pay bo high a price for tbe privilege. So long aa these arrangements last, there ia no probability of tho pernicious practice being suppressed, although many of the respectable inhabit ants of Monte Carlo consider the gaming tables a curse rather than an advantage te tbe place. If Prince Charles is a thoughtful man, I should ima gine he must at times feel degraded and ashamed of himself when ho contrasts his position and source of income with the character maintained by hia ancestors, the former sovereigns of Principality, who were renowned for their public spirit and naval exploits. Bat the love of money is a debasing passion, and Princes, when they come under its influence, are no better thau other men. The Attractiveness of Monte Carlo. The scenery about Monaco is moun tainous and picturesque. Monte Carlo can scarcely bo described as a separate settle ment. It is but a mile, or rather more, dis tant from the capital which gives the entire principality its designation, and it ia almost connected with it by straggling villa residences. 1 took up my quarters at the Hotel dcs Anglais, withiu a few minutes' walk of tbe Casino, and close to the public gardens. Monte Carlo is a lovely spot; perhap unrivalled for natural beauty and artistic

embellishment in tbo whole of Riviera. The company creasing the Casino spare no expense m devising and maintaining local attractions. Beautiful gardens, adorned with statues, grottoes, ond fountains are laid out with exquisites taste, and extend over a considerable area. The interior of the Casino is gorgeously decorated. The conceit-room, or Theatre (for it answers both purposes), in particular, is indescribably grand and ornate. The chandelier that hangs in the centre from the lofty ceiling is -the most superb rhiog of the kind I ever saw. An orchestra of nearly a hundred performers, oil of them musicians of high repute, entertain visitors every morning and evening. No charge ia made for admission. Anyone who chooses may hear the productions of Moa»rt, Auber, Handel, Donizetti, Oounod, Boarini, and other great masters of harmony, rendered by a band that is said to be the best in Europe. No wonder thai fa.hionable idlers, aud lovers ot pleasure and play, flock to Monte Carlo. The proprietors ot ihe gaming-tables have done thesir utmost t» add to the natural beauties of the place such artistic attractions aa are calculated to allure and bring victims within the c'tcle ot the fascinating bnt *oo often ruinous influences that surround the tapis vert

AWFUL EXPERIENCE.

In a skiff with a Mad Dog.

I HAD scarcely delivered my seoond barrel when my attention -was attracted to the dog, and was so arrested that, in half-a second, I thought ot nothing else. The animal had arisen, and stood within three feet of me, whining hideously. His eyes glared upon me with a wild and unnatural expression, his tongue loUed out, and saliva fell copiously from his lips. The dog was mad, I knew the symptoms web. It was hydrophobia of the most dangeioas charac ter. Fear, quick and sudden, came over me. Fear is a tame word; hoiror I should call it. I knew myself to be in a situation of extreme peril, and 1 saw not the way out of it. Death- death, painful and horrid appeared to be nigh, appeared to confront me, glaring from out the eyes of the hideous brute. . Instinct caused me to put myself in an attitude of defence. I raised my gun with tbe design of cocking it, having forgotten in my terror that 1 had just scattered ihe con tents of both barrels in the tea, I thought of reloading, but a movement of the dog towards me showed that it would be a dangerous experiment, bo I turned tbe piece ia my hand to defend myself, if neces-, sary, with the butt. I had retreated backward until I stood m the stern of the skiff. The dog had hitherto lain close up to tne bew, but after the shots he had spruog up aud token a position nearer the centre of the boat. In fact, be had been within biting distance before 1 had noticed hia madness. Anyone who bas ever rowed an American skiff will remember that even to stand upright in thorn iequires careful balanc ing, but to fight a mad dog in one without being bitten would require tbe skill and adroitness oi an acrobat. Should the dog spring at me, 1 knew thot ony exertion to fend bim off would eithur ciuse me to be thrown into the water, or would upsat the boat, a still more dreadful alter- j native. Tbe dog still held a threatening attitude, bi« forepaws res.ing on one of the seats, while his eyon continued to glare upon me with a wild and uncertain ex pression. .... I remained for some moments io fearful suspense. I was half-paralysed with terror, and uncertain how to act. Any movement might make the fierce animal spring upon me. The shore was neotly half a-rnile, I could never reach it cambered with toy clothes, and even if I could, might not tho dog follow and seize me in the wa'er ? A horrible thought, I now abandoned all hope of escape, I could do nothing to save myself. Impressed with this idea, I remained motionleee as a ' statue. I moved neither hand nor foot 1 I scarcely permitted myself to breathe, bo much did I droad attracting the further attention of my terrible companion, The dog still stood up with his forepaws raised upon the bench; in this position he remained gazing wildly ia my face. Several times I thought he was about to spring up on me, and, to add to my -mbarrossinent, I sow that 1 waa drifting seaward, to a line of breakers at less than a mile's distance, , A fearful alternative no w presented itself; I must either drive the dog from the oars or be ewamped among the breakeis. The lot ; ter would be certain death, the former offered a chance of lite. I immediately 1 set about loading my sun. I kept my eyes fixed neon the animal, and felt the powder, the wadding, and the shot into the nao__e. Tbe dog remained still until I had both, barrels loaded, capped and decked. 1 had. no (time to spore; tha breakers were nigh; a minute more and the little skiff would be dancing among them like a obeli, or sunk for ever. Not a moment waa to be loat, and yet I dared not raise tbe jiun to my shoulder. _ I dared, not glance along the barrel.-, lhe manoeuvre might rouse the dangerous brute. I held tbe piece low, slanting along my thighs, and leeliug the direction to be true I fired, and the dog rolled over, kicking violently; bur, to make sure, I raised the gun to my shoulder aod sept tbe contents of the second barrel through the-ribs of the miserable brute. His kicking ended, and i was saved from a dealt in its most painful and horrible abape.

The Last Plot Against the Czar.

The latest plot to kill tbe Czar was dis covered in the beginning of last month. A student of fine arts attempted to commit suicide in a bath, bnt was discovered in time to prevent his purpose. On being questioned aa to bis motive for the act, he confessed that it was owing to his connec tion with the Nihilists. He had been com manded by thot body to kill the, Czar and had taken measures to do so, bnt his courage failed at the critical moment, and, knowing what would be his fate from the Nihilists, he preferred suicide. The attempt on the Czar's life was to have been made at the time when the regimental fete of the Finland Begiment was celebrated, the Czar having been present at tbe banquet on that occa sion. The student managed to be present in the guise of a waiter, and. was armed with a pocket revolver, intending when he found himself face to face with the Czar to fire, Tbis opportunity soon arrived, but at the critical moment his courage failed, and in the confusion he hurried from the room and ran straight to the bath, where he made the attempt on his own life. The'information which the police obtained from him enabled them to make some arrests. This latest discovery is said to have made a profound impression on the Czar. M. Tolstoi re quested the Czar to exercise greater precau tions and to expose himself as little as possible, to which his Majesty replied : " It is all the same to me, and I am now pre pared for anything. I have escaped by the merest chance and you and I were alike ignorant of the danger I was in."
