Kitchen- Garden,

Almost all growth has come to a standstill, through the dry state of the soil, unless in Euch places as have an unlimited supply of water. It is to be hoped that a bountiful supply of rain will fall before this reaches my readers, as in the event of the dry weather continuing much longer, it will have a marked effect on' all late autumn crops. Clear away the debris of all early crops which are spenb, and have the ground bhey occuoied roughly dug, and leave ib exposed to tlie action of the sun and air till it is wanted for cropping. Tomatoes: Tie up and pinch back superfluous shoots. To gee good crops of the above, tho plants must be kept growing freely, and, to bring this about, the soil aboub bho roots should never be allowed to get dry. On light or poor soils, give liquid manure frequonbly. Celery : The early planted crops should now be growing freely. Attend to the tying"and earthing up as they require it. The later planted crop, water liborally with liquid manure. Prepare another trench for planting, in facb, a trench of this delightful vegetable should be planted at leasb every bhree weeks, so as always bo have a good supply of fresh, crisp planbs. Leeks : Give plenty oi water, so as to keep bhem growing vigorously. French and bhe running varieties of beans keep sowing for succes sion. Earth up the advancing crops and stake the running varieties. In a cold, damp, moist situation sow frequently mustard cress and radishes. These, while growing, must be supplied with plenty of water. Potatoes : All early potatoes which are properly ripened off and are required for seed should be lifted, dried for a day,and stored" past. If it should happen to como moist weather, those left in the ground would moab likely be started into growth, and this would greatly deteriorate them for next season. Cucum bers, pumpkins, melons, marrows, etc. : Pinch and regulate shoots. (Jive plenty of water, and occasionally liquid manure, so as to keep them growing. Rhubarb : Still keep this well watered, as the plants, if kept moist, will yet give good return ; chamber water mixed wibh soapsuds is tlie very best that can be used.
