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. World. 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. Hover outlie Farm. A writer in the Prairie T1 . . Farmer „ J __ No other , thing the . farm on so oughly marks the progress of as the tapidiy increasing use of clover. ■ », The two-fold benefits ^ of , , are so obviously , . manifest to every , that the increase in its ttse is not prising. Its wonderful yield as a crop make&jt one of tho most to raise, whether to be fed green or in the shape of rowen. So rapidly it grow that it is no uncommon thing cut three crops during a single and no farmer ever expects to cu t than two crop?. Should the choose to turn the stock on the field seems almost to replace the day’s by its growth at n it. The better is to cut aud feed it iu the rack, and given amount of ground will feed twice as many cattle as when allowed roam over it. A very important v uo of clov r sists, however, in its great efficiency as means of recuperating the land; here ia the main evidence that its ia- creased use shows an advanced stage is. science of agriculture. First, the of a fertilizer of any kind is a con¬ that the land is not as good as it in the power of man to make; and, nest, the use of clover as a means of en¬ the ground shows that farmers are studying economic management of the r 1 lands. It is claimed by somo that no farmer can afford to plow under a good crop of clover as a fertilizer, but that it should be fed to cattle and the manure from ti;e cattle put r back on the land, with the growth ., of , those cattle, ... are together . of f more value than the crop of green ma¬ nure.

The first and last thing necessary is neatness. Whatever is done should be well done.

She had no admiration for great attempts at flower beds aid rockeries in conspicuous places in the farmers’ dooryards.

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 all times.

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. One would think this was a great deal of fuss for a little thing. But there is no one article of a lady’s toilet more im¬ portant to her comfort and convenience.

I was C aptain of Comp ,ny II, Tenth Mis s.uiri t avalry; Cel. Dentine, commander, and General I lcasanton, Brigade Com¬ mander. My position was on the lelt, 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 orainoU3 i 0C jp S 0 f the cannon, assured me that a serious mom nt was at hand.
