PENRITH HERALD and East Cumberland and Westmorland News. _____________________________________________ THE NIGHT WINDS. The night breeze may roam o'er the noble fell breast Or sigh on old Ligil'ls rough channel so bare, May touch up the heather on Hartside's crest, And lull into sleep the red grouse up there. But give me the night wind when sighing through woods, And rustling the hazels that grow in the vale, Or o'er the dark alders that grow by the floods, I love it more dearly than Cross Fell's rough gale Because when the night wind o'er the mountains blows wild, It reminds me of storms that rage rough on the fell, But a sigh thro' the woods speaks of autumn so mild, And a sweet shady nook in a romantic dell. How I love for to listen the stirring night breeze, Whether ranging the fells with a whistle & scream, Or sighing down Raven away to the trees, Where Eden receives our brawling fell stream. And in fancy to follow o'er yon meadows green, Where Cairn flows without either mountain or hill, Or o'er yon broad mosses where heather is seen, Or it roves through the quarries of Scott & old Bill. Yes I do love to hear it wherever it blows, Whether playing with heather or noble old trees, Whether speaking of fells or the sweet bower rose, A friend of my own is this evening breeze. Renwick, 1874 T. J. DRYDEN. =================================================

I have been receiving information on my Westmorland DOUGLASS family who came from the from the Ormside area. A couple of years ago I recieved an inquiry from some one in England who thought her grandmother was a daughter of William DOUGLASS and Elizabeth MATTINSON married in the early 1800's. The daughters name was Ann. Since then I have lost what I thought was well backed up. If she still is subscribed to this list I have more information on her siblings and would like to get in touch with her to give her infomation about John, Isabella, James, Margarett and Ann, the two daughters that did not emigreate to the United States. Is there an archive for the Westmorland list that I could search, too? Regards.................Jane Douglas Fidler (jgfidler@neo.rr.com)

Just wondered if their is a problem as I've not had a digest since Issue 33 on 5 February. Ruth Borrowdale

I have been informed by Gwen's daughter that Gwen Burrows sadly passed away on 12 January. Gwen lived in Buderim, Queensland. Gwen joined this list in February 2007 and was interested in finding out information about her great grandfather John Nicholson who emigrated to the Maitland NSW area to work on the Walka Waterworks sometime in the 1870's. I have passed on our condolences to her daughter Tracey. Kind regards, Dean List admin. ENG -Westmorland Mailing List

PENRITH HERALD and East Cumberland and Westmorland News. =============================================== GREENHOUSE. - Ericas require great care at this season, as over-much artificial heat is injurious, and damp and frost are not much less so. In mild weather, give air, and at all times be careful to avoid slopping water about amongst them, as such a course will end in their suffering from mildew, which is one of the worst enemies with which they have to contend. Pelargoniums of the show class must be encouraged with the aid of an increased temperature and as much air as weather will allow. It is common for them to be assailed with green-fly when the new growth of the season commences, but if the cultivator is on the look-out, and puts a stop to that pest in good time, it may be got rid of for two months to come. Keep as near the glass as possible, and of course avoid anything approaching a forcing process. Ventilate freely or mildew and damping will prevail, and many plants pushing their flowers will cast them unopened. But to give air, there must be a gentle fire, so that, for the next few weeks, keep the fire going steadily, whether the temperature be mild or severe; in the case of mild weather, give plenty of air, and have a look round to see if any plants are suffering from want of water. A high night temperature is most mischievous, and is the common failing everywhere, especially in small gardens. _______________________________________________ **This article and the three preceding articles are all from the "Gardener's Magazine".** _______________________________________________

PENRITH HERALD and East Cumberland and Westmorland News. =============================================== FRUIT GARDEN. - Dessert Fruits in Season: Apples - Adam's pearmain, golden pippin, Blenheim orange, king of pippins. Grapes: alicante, black prince, Lady Downes, muscat of Alexandria. Pears: Beurre d' Aremberg, Easter beurre, glou morceau. Fruit trees will soon be on the move, and every delay now in planting and pruning will be injurious. Let any arrears of this work take precedence as early as possible; but as the latter part of January is one of the most uncertain times of the whole year, the planter must be cautious, and avoid taking up more trees or making larger purchases than he can deal with quickly and completely, for in the midst of the work, may come hard frost, a deluge of rain, or long-continued snow. Better let the trees lay in by the heels a few weeks than plant them, unless the ground is really in a proper condition.

PENRITH HERALD and East Cumberland and Westmorland News. =============================================== FLOWER GARDEN. - Herbaceous calceolarias are among the most gorgeous of all the herbaceous plants we possess for the decoration of the conservatory and greenhouse during summer. Plants in store pots to be shifted, and the compost to be chiefly turfy loam, with not more than a fourth part of peat and leaf mould added. It is a good precaution against the possibility of damping at the collar to use a very sandy mixture at the top of the pots, about an inch in depth. Dahlias may be started in a gentle heat for cuttings. Lay the tubers on the soil over a tank in a propagating house, or on a bed of warm hops or dung, and when the shoots are two inches long, take them off and strike them. Evergreen shrubs should not be transplanted or in any way disturbed for a few weeks hence. Hollyhocks in cutting pots to have a shift to 48-sized pots and the soil to be chiefly loam. Keep them in the greenhouse or warm pit for a week after shifting, then they may go to a cold frame. Strong plants in pots may be planted out. Layering of hardy shrubs may be practised now for increase of stock. Draw down a suitable branch and peg it to the ground, to mark where the tongue should be cut. Then enter the knife on the underside and make an incision half through the wood, and turn the knife towards the top of the shoot, and cut a slit an inch or an inch and a half long; peg it down firm, and cover the tongue with an inch or two of soil. Roses to be planted as soon as possible. In light soils, standards will thrive better if some clay is dug in with the manure. Roses on their own roots need a lighter soil than briars. Roses will not thrive unless the ground is effectually drained, deeply stirred, and liberally manured.

PENRITH HERALD and East Cumberland and Westmorland News. =============================================== KITCHEN GARDEN. - Vegetables in Season: Asparagus, beet, Brussels sprouts tops of buds, Jerusalem, and green curled kales, carrots, celery, coleworts, endive, French beans, Jerusalem artichokes, lettuce, mushrooms, onions, parsnips, rhubarb, seakale, salsify, savoy, shallots, turnips. Stumps of coleworts, and other greens should at once be cleared off quarters that must be prepared for summer crops, and if there is a likelihood of the supply of green stuff being short during the spring, they may be laid in by their heels rather close together in a vacant quarter, with a view of obtaining a few dishes of tender greens from them hereafter. Peas and beans pushing through the ground need some protection both against frost and vermin. If the weather is mild and open, sprinkle them slightly with soot, or plentifully with wood ashes. This will keep off slugs and snails. If the weather is cold, and likely to be severe, strew over them any light, dry, warm material that may be handy, such as chaff, waste hay, or even dry fine earth. In places exposed to the wind, branches of spruce thrust in aslant, so as to overhang the rows, will be of considerable service, and may save many a promising piece of plant from destruction. Cabbage occupying plots of ground which will be required shortly for some other crop, may be taken up and laid in by the heels in some out-of-the-way place till wanted for the kitchen. If any likelihood of requiring early supplies of summer cabbage, sow now a few of the early-hearting kinds in boxes or pans, and start in a gentle heat. Cauliflowers: Sow in pans or shallow boxes, and treat as advised for cabbage, remembering that these are more tender in constitution, and will require a little more nursing. Celery to be shown for very early supply. A small pan of seed will suffice. Let the soil be rich and fine, the seed to be very lightly covered. To prevent evaporation, lay a square of glass over the pan after sowing the seeds, but remove it when the plants appear above the surface of the soil. Kitchen crops of every kind required for spring sowing may be sown in very small breadths, and with the exercise of judgment as to the prospects of the weather. Warm sheltered situations should be selected. Lettuce: Sow a pinch both of cabbage and cauliflower. Rhubarb in the open quarters to have six inches of rotten dung heaped over the crown of each plant, for it is impossible to grow good crops without the aid of liberal dressings of manure. The roots may be planted now, and old stools divided.
