FOK THE FABM AND HOME. j
CnlUvation of Con,.
Modern experience tends to favor the
shallow and superficial culture of corn,
rather than deeper plowing. After the corn
has been planted a plow should not be
used iu the corn-field, but the cultivator
only. The surface alone needs to be
stirred, and the oftener it is mellowed
and loosened, the better for the crop.
The writer has grown several crops of
over 100 bushels of grain to the acre, anti
in every case in which this unusual pro¬
duct was reached, it was when the
ground was worked with the horse hoe
every week until the corn was iu tassel.
■When, unavoidably this frequent culti¬
vation was missed, the yield fell some¬
times as low as seventy of eighty bushels
per acre, showing—all other treatment
being the same—that the frequent work¬
ing of the soil has a most useful result
on the crop .—American Agriculturist.
Peas Will Not Mix. -
armers, many of them, believe that
die. srent varieties of peas will cross if
planted in close proximity. This is not
the case, for tho ovules of each flower
are fertilized by the pollen of the same
flower long before the buds unfold.
Therefore, in crossing peas, the anth¬
ers must be removed just as soon as the
petals show themselves in the bud. If
one waits beyond this period it will be
found on opening the bud that the anth¬
ers are ripe and have shaken their pol¬
len upon the stigma. It is impractic¬
able to unfold a bud so small and im¬
mature, and therefore many have con¬
cluded that peas could not be> crossed
even artificially. This difficulty is obvi¬
ated, however, by cutting off the tip of
the bud as soon as it opens, and slitting
down the flower a short distance; the
ten anthers are then easily removed,
leaving only the stigma, which may now
receive pollen of an other variety with
which it is desired to cross it.—iV. Y.

Polaons for Insects.
answer to occasional inquiries, we
£. . ^ briefly the following modes for ap¬
plying effective poisons:
Pyrethrum for Cabbages.—Use a table¬
spoonful to two or three galionsof water,
and if driven on these and other plants
with a syringe or force pump, it will de¬
stroy nearly all insects. The pyrethrum
must be fresh, as it loses by exposure.
Paris Green for Various Purposes.—
Mix it and keep stirring with about 700
times as much water. It is good for
canker worms, codling moths, potato
beetles, cucumber bugs, etc. It is only
a partial remedy for the curculio.
Paraffine.—Half a tcacupful to a gal¬
lon of water, constantly stirred, is good
for scale insects. It must be weaker on
young than on old, hard bark. Kero¬
sene emulsion is also good, and it is made
by putting a quart of soft soap in a gal¬
lon of water, which heat to boiling, aud
then while boiling, stir ia a pint of kero¬
sene. Another way is to stir keroseuo
with milk untii no oil is visible; then
dilute with twelve times as much water.
Paris green, driven briskly with a force
pump, has saved grapevines from rose
bugs.— Country Gentleman.
Trees In Cultivated Fields.
This is the time of year for farmers
who have cultivated crops to mark on
those fields tho area which the roots of
trees drain of moisture and fertility. If
they will do this with either corn or
potatoes, the revelation will be a surprise
to many. Under the shade of tlio tree
the crop will rarely pay cost of cultiva¬
tion and harvesting; but for ten and
often fifteen feet on either side it will be
diminished, varying according to the
season. In a very dry time we have
known a few trees in a field to make it
so unproductive that it gave no profit
from cultivation at present low prices,
very small under the most favorable cir¬
cumstances. Now as farming is a busi¬
ness, it is the fanner’s duty so far as in
him lies to make a business success of it.
If any one is farming for amusement
pleasure he can do as he chooses
retaining useless and positively detri¬
mental adjuncts to bis business,
in this case the greatest pleasure as well
as profit will generally be found in
ing the largest possible crops. For
great mass of farmers harassed by
and striving every way to make
ends meet losses of this kind are a
ous matter. They at least cannot
to waste time, labor or money over
mentalities. Scattering forest trees
often ornamental in lawns; but the
is not a lawn, and among growing
a large tree is often the most
kind of weed. This is an economic
gestion which many will appreciate
fully understand the need of obeying
apostolic injunction to “lay aside
weight” a3 the only means ot
success. — Cultivator.

have, but in the side yard, aud limit
them to our means. Tpo many gay things

first and last thing necessary is neatness.
Whatever is done should be well done.
A few roses nnd honeysuckles in some
nook or corner can be made a tiling of
beauty at little cost, the flower-garden

front from jjack yard, or the ornamental
from the business quarters. She had no
admiration for great attempts at flower
beds aid rockeries in conspicuous places
in the farmers’ dooryards. Neatness and
simplicity, and not attempt, are to be
aimed at in all the surroundings of the

The lawn-mower does not cost much,
and if the yard h not littered up with
too many thing*, the gras* can be cut
often and kept as a beautiful feature at

. Hairpins.
The business of hairpin-making seems
only just beginning to amount to any im
I ortauee as an industry in this country.
For years the English and French con¬
trolled their manufacture. ,
It seems that the machinery used is of
si delicate and intricate character, as the
l*rices at which pins are sold necessitate
the most rapid and cheapest process,
which can only be secured by automatic expressly! I
machines. The wire is made
for the purpose and put tip in large coils, !
which arc placed on reels, and the end of
the wire is placed in a clamp which car
ries it to the machine while straightening
it; from there it runs in another machine,
which cuts, bends, and, by a delicate and
instantaneous process, sharpens the
points, llunning at full speed hairpins these ma¬
chines will turn out 120 every
minute. To economize, it is necessary to
keep them working night and day. The
difficult part of the work is the enamel¬
ing, which is done by dipping in a prep¬
aration and baking in an oven. Here is
where the most constant and careful at¬
tention is required, as the pin must be
perfectly smooth and the enamel have a
perfect polish. The slightest and particles of
dust cause imperfections roughness,
which is objectionable.

of fuss for a little thing. But there is

as we drew up in line. During my four
years’ service 1 had seen some very close
quarters. But never had I seen 9,000
p orscraen drawn up in battle array, and
the sight was certainly a thrilling one. I
believe I am safe .n saying that since the
bat ‘ le of <*e fyramids in Egypt, modern
warfare had not s en the like. The
enemy were we n supported by the their
artillery, and as I looked across in
tervening space I could see the mouths
of the cannon. While we sat on our
horses waiting for orders, GeneraD
Pleasanton and Curtis came they riding passed down
between the lines As me
I heard Pleasanton say: “We must come
together now.” These words, and the

that a serious mom nt was at hand. I
had 8600 about me, and I put it into an
official envelope. 1 then directed it to my

the request to forward it in case of my
death, or as the boys were in the habit

At last the bugle Bounded the charge,

Again the bugle rang out on the still
air, anl again the lines wavered.
Then suddenly a rider on a white horse

A Quick Recovery.
It gives us great pleasure to slate that the
merchant who was reported to be at tho point
of death from an attack of Pneumonia, lias
entirely recovered by tbs usa of Du. W.u.
Hall’s Balsam for the Lungs. Naturally he
feels grateful for the binetits derived from
using this remedy for the lungs and throat: and
in giving publicity to this statement we are
actuated by motives of public benefaction,
trusting that others may be benefited in a
similar manner.
