MMHWRPimP ■P j^ARyvi J\ ND jjr ARDEN. I Coal Ashes anil Curculio. I have for several years saved inj plums irom the ravages of the curculio by the use of coal ashes. They become so completely disgusted with it that they leave for other panss^Just so soon ft* the blossoms fall I commence with my ashes. ■ I take a bucketful of the ashes under my arm, and with the other hand I das!, the ashes all over and through the trees, cov ering the plums completely with ashes, and go round every tew days and givt them another dose. It the raiu washes off, I renew the dose and keep at .it til. my plums ate ripe, when I am welt paid tor my trouble. I had, this year, eight bushels on seven small trees, which I solo lor thifty two dollars. I, .have Severn trees di the Belne Claude variety upo. which I did not use^the.ashes, because thv plums were scattering. I thought i ' would not pay, but there was one limb t i one of those trees that was close to tho»< I put the ashes on; it got its share ot thi ashes, and that limb ripened up all of its plums, but not a plum was there left 01 the other part of the tree or on any ol thi other trees of that variety. This was con clusive evidence to.jne that it was tin ashes that saved my plums. Vivien I firs' commenced using the ashes, my brothei told me that X would not succeed ; that hi made sure of saving his plums by placing a sheet uuder his trees and shaking th> little Turks off ot his trees, and eatcbni; them on the sheet and killing them. Bin when plums were ripe I had plenty mid in bad none.—Cor. Ohio Farmer. <J W.

Hungarian grass is becoming popular again, aud is now largely and geueraUi sown tor bay. The yield is very hcavi. several tons to an acre, aud if cut befoie the seeds form, it is one otthe best of uu.- ny foods for stock. The seeds are strong; ly diuretic, and if allowed to ripen ou tlif hay fed to‘stock, will injure them. Ii should be grown exclusively lbr setni when that is wanted. Xieiug an anuual, i sown late,, in Juue, alter other crops, ii may be pul in the ground when the crops ot timothy or other forage is known : have partially failed. Snvel Potatoes. We earnestly advise our farmsrs, and ii others who may have small tracts of land suitable for the purpose, to raise as many sweet potatoes as possible the [iresentcai We know ot no crop that requires as fit!! labor aud expense and yields so.great ; profit as sweet potatoes. After tbe cro] has been gathered, there remains in tli ground enough to tatten the shoats on tli place, or at least give them a fair start toward making good meat. Lands of moderate fertility, well, lu t ed and planted wiih vines or draws ;>s as July, will produce fine potatoes for tn ble use, aud always an abundance ol ‘ slips’ for next planting. Sweet potatoes noi ei sell for less than fifty cents per bushel in the Hawkinsvjllbluiuket, and as the pea- son advances they command seventy-lire eenjts, and in the spring, even one doiliu por bushel. Certainly there are many in ducements for all who can to plant iiota- toes not only for borne use. but lot sale.— llawkinsvillc Dispatch. Cull lire of Cabbage. A prominent tanner of New York State writes: Since tbe advent of the cabbage worm almost everyone has been at a loss to know wbat to do to raise a few cabbages. Some have tried one thing and some tried anoth er, aud mostly to no purpose. Last year 1 set about three hundred and thirty fine plauts aud picked off the worms by’ band as they came, for about two weeks, which took about two hours each day. This seem ing to be tou mueh work, and as 1 have well of soft water near by, I took a five- puil-kettle, setit near the well and put in to it a pint of suit soap and tho same of salt and then filled it up with water. I let this stand till the water was warmed by the sun, and then, alter strring it up well, I took my water pot and applied it at the rate ol about a gallon to tony heads, putting it in the center. I did this every day, and tbe result was l bad the nicest and hard est cabbage that ever were raised. I bad no trouble to get ten cents per bead, al though cabbage was very cheap here. Some make a practice of buying their plants but I would nutgivo one cent per hundred, unless X knew what I was getting. I use Comstock & Co’s Premium Flat Dutch. They are the best late eabbagos X can find. Keep Borax ill tlic IIous t. In the laundry it is economical, as it saves botb labor and soap, and, is really eheaper than the latter. For blankets and other large articles it .is especially valuable, and in all cases the use of a lit.- tle borax will save half the labor when the articles are much soiled. It is perfectly effectual in driving away red ants, cock roaches, etc., it sprinkled around on shelves, or put in tbe run-ways of the. in sects. Borax is also of great value lor toilet uses. For removing daudruif and cleausing the hair it is unequaled. It is also a good remedy tor rongli face and chapped hands.. Its application towouuds, sores, bruises, sprains, etc., prove?.my salutary, amfls often the 'only Teuiefiy re quired, even in severe eases. * • ...In a recent sermon a clergyman said that the path ol rectitude bad been travel ed so little ot late years that it bad grown to grass. ..“I am astonished, my dear young la dy, at your sentiments; you make me start.” “ Well, I have been wanting you to start for tbe last hour.” ...Avoid au argument with ladies.

While the boys crowded around the old flag at a recent reunion, Bill with an irrepressible humor, Culled out: “ Boys, I am uu speaker, but there’s a blamed sight more of you here than I ever saw in a fight.” This brought down the house. ...A photographer who can make a mole on a lady’s cheek appear as a dimple in her picture has achieved the highest stan dard of bis profession. ...An Eastern paper has for its motto: “ Tbe pen is mightier tbaj the sword, but tbe scissors are easier to handle.” Solo- mon did not get away with all the wis dom.—£x.
