AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. The Field, Farm and Garden. Wo solicit articles for this department. The name of the writer should accompany the letter or article, not necessarily for pub lication, but as au evidence of good faith. Manure and Grape Rot. Mr. W. C. Steele, of Switzerland, Fla., in Mb interesting communication to the Florida Dispatch, says that heavy manuring is very commonly, but very unjustly, believed to Iks n prolific cause of grape rot. Seventeen years r:f experience in grape growing aud observation of others’ vineyards convinces him that fertilizing has anything to do with the rot. At a time in Northern Indiana when vineyards were being abandoned on aocount of the ravages of this disease, those Which had not received an ounce of fertilizer of any kind for years, suffered quite as se verely ns those which had received heavy applications of slaughter-house manure. The feport of the Department of Agriculture on Fungus Diseases of the Grape does not charge that the true rot, the “black rot,” is due to over-fertilizing, but rather to warm, wet weather, and it is stated that its ravages are entirely stopped by a prolonged drouth. Bagging the bunches before the berries are half grown is found to be an almost certain specific for this disease. By the way, grape growers are becoming more and more unani mous in the opinion that bagging grapes pays. Heavy manuring with fresh stable manure is said to have a tendency to increase one form of grape mildew, this mildew destroys the fruit, though not a true rot. But so far as I know, no one recommends the use of fresh stable manure in large quantities. It should never be used, in the vineyard or garden, until thoroughly decomposed. It is doubtful if any quantity of bone meal and potash, which could be used safely, that is without endaugerlng the life of the vines, would injure the crop of fruit. The exces sive use of cotton seed meal or anything containing a large percentage of ammonia is not to be recommended on fruiting vines. A reasonable quantity of ammoniated fer tilizers is needed to maintain a vigorous growth while bearing large crops of fruit. Summer pruning is objectionable, espe cially in a hot climate. By all means thin out the hunches and do not allow the vines to overbear. If the grapes are bagged they do not need the shade of the leaves so much as those that are not thus protected, but the vines are not likely to have too many leaves for health, and if the sun can bo kept from shining upon the bags so much the better. Lime aud sulphate of copper has been found, when syringed over grapes, a perfect cure for mildew. The solution is thus pre pared: From thirty to fifty pounds of lime and sulphate; each is dissolved in a barrel containing about one hundred gallons of water. The operator dips a small heath broom in the liquid and walking backwards sprinkles the vines. About fourteen quarts to one thousand vines, the expense being a little over $5 an acre. About Weeds. A word about weeds may not be without interest at this season of the year. No one, says the New York Star, can afford, after having prepared his laud and made it rich with valuable manures, to then neglect it to such an extent as to allow the worthless weeds to get possession, or even to appro priate to their own support any considerable part of the outlay which has thus been made. It should at all times be borne in mind that whatever the weeds are allowed to appropriate to their own use may jfist as well be directed to the production of desira ble plants instead. We know from experi ence that it is a very easy matter to talk about the destruction of weeds. But there are times when the weather will not admit of their being so easily destroyed—the ground too wet to work, or if stirred the weeds will not be killed; and there are times, too, when other matters are waiting to be attended to as well ns the weeds. Yet the rule of action must be cleau culture, and it must be lived up to or to a certainty the weeds will get ahead. ‘‘Early aud often” should be the watchword from the start. It is far less work to kill the weeds while they are just starting to grow than to wait until they have become well rooted. In the corn fleld this work can nearly all be done with horse power, although the hand hoe may be profitably used occasionally in cleaning out the hills. But the horse and cultivator or double shovel must be relied on principally to do the work. With the rows straight and equi-distant both ways—as they always should be—the cultivator or double shovel can be adjusted as to run close up to the young plants, with no danger of covering any of them up. It is vastly cheaper and more expeditious to do the work in this way than with hoes. Nor need the cultivation he very deep if the land was properly pre pared, surface working being now what is moetly wanted, and killing the weeds the principal object, the time for deep working before the corn was planted. The cultivator or double shovel should be kept running, however, until the corn is large enough to shade the ground, when there need be no further fear of the weeds. Effect of Clover on Soil., One of tho most remarkable studies in practical farming, says a well-known agri cultural writer, is the wonderful recupera tive and restorativooffects of clover on land. This effect can hardly be exaggerated. It is a mystery to many farmers how a crop grown on a soil can impart to it more than it takes from it. Perhaps it will help them to understand this to remind them but a small portion of the plant comes from tho soil. In a ton of dry clover buy chemists toll us there are but from 10b to 104 pounds of organic matter (by which they mean that which conies from the soil), and all the re mainder is inorganic or matter that line come from the atmosphere. Another fact which helps explain how green manuring helps the soil is that in most soils there is enough plant food to grow hundreds of crops (and often thousands), and much of this is in a condition in which it is not readily available for the plant. One of our best, modem writers on agricultural chemistry says: “So great is the wealth of fertility stored ip the soil that if the nitrogen, phos phoric acid and potash contained in the upper twelve inches of. a good soil were \ al lied at the prices charged for them in our commercial fertilizers, a farm of 100 acres would be worth about half a million dol lars.” This must be constantly borne in mind: The question we are aliout to solve in culti; vating our farms is not when will the soil become perfectly exhausted? but how can we manage it to get profitable crojis at the least expense now? Prof. Roberts, of the New York Experiment Station, found that a field of clover which yielded 3,'-JWS pounds of eui-ed hay had 4,503 pounds of dried roots, or nearly 1,600 pounds more of roots thau of top. Covering Seed. A writer in our Our Country Home, writing about the advantages of covering seed, says: My plan is to always cover seed of all kinds, whether large or small; of course very fine seed needs only a light <*ov ering, and the soil should be very fine, yet I always considered that I secured better plants by marking out a shallow furrow and sowing the see*! iu it and then covering lightly. Coarse, heavy seed need and re quire deeper covering than fine, light seed. While no rule can be given that under all circumstances and conditions may be con sidered the best, yet generally you can be safe if you will regulate the depth of plant ing and covering by the size of the seed. For fine seed like celery a shallow' mark is made and the seed sprinkled in it as evenly as possible, and then the soil sprinkled over the seed and lightly pressed Mown. When seed are planted very near the surface, as a rule, the surest' plan to secure a good ger mination is to press the soil down upon the seed after covering, and especially if the soil is warm and inclined to dry out. A certain degree of moisture and contact with the soil is essential to secure a good germination, and I find that these conditions cun be best secured by taking pains to cover lightly . Generally early planted seeds should bo cov ered lighter than if the same seeds were planted three or four weeks later, after the soil becomes warmer and often dryer; heat is almost as essential as moisture —that is, to a certain extent, and if planted too deep when the soil is wet and cold they will either lie there until the soil is sufficiently warm to induce germination or they will rot. I never could see any good economy in having the seed lie in the ground under unfavora ble conditions and failing to germinate, even though they do finally. 1 never considered that the plants were as vigorous as if an earlier germination had been secured. For this reason I find it the safest and best to make all the conditions as favorable for ger mination as possible. Rust on Pears. The rust on pears always shows itself early in the season. It first appears as small brownish spots and these gradually enlarge, and if numerous may nearly cover the sur face of the fruit. The rust sometimes reaches its maturity and partially or wholly dies be fore the fruit is fully grown; in such cases it is cast off, the spot becomes more or less perfectly healed and the appearance known as “scab” is the result. In either case the fruit is injured iu market value, and if the attack is severe is rendered almost worth less. The cause of the injury is a, fungus, Fusicladium pyrinum, which grows just beneath the skin and pushes its fruiting threads out into the air, producing myriads of spores for its further propagation. The rust on the leaves of the pear is due to the same fungus, and to keep it from the fruit, therefore, will necessitate keeping the foliage free also. The only preventive or remedy that seems feasible and economical is some application to the young leaves and fruit that will pre vent the fungus from getting a foothold. The fungicide in solution should be sprayed upon the trees several times from the burst ing of the bud* until June, especially just after rains. What is best to use yet remains to be determined. Mr. Goff, of the New York Experirrifcnt Station, found much benefit from hyposulphite of soda at the rate of one pound to ten gallons qf water. Sulphide of potassa will, no doubt, also prove valuable. If the trees are sprayed with Paris green the fungicide may be added and applied at the same time. A Bath for Fowls. Fowls are greatly troubled with lice and many poultry raisers furnish a dust bath for them, as it helps them to get rid of the pests. The best bath for fowls, however, and one which they should have free access to, is an ash bath. It far excels the dust bath, al though the dust bath is used by nearly all successful poulterers. Take an old dish pan, or some vessel that is wide and shallow, fill it with dry, fresh wood ashi>s, and the chicks will be in before you can get out of the poul try house. We have seen this used and have never found lice where it is used constantly. The ashes get mixed through the feathers and the lieo cannot long flourish in this con dition. The old way was to keep the ducks, hens, turkeys, geese and guineas together, when battles and combats were the result, the best quarters being an A-shapeil log house, but at the present dqy we separate them and treat them as so much stock on the farm, from which a certain amount of profit is expected, and the better the treat ment the larger the profit. Poultry houses should be whitewashed, inside and out, two or three times a year. Into the whitewash for the inside of the house put a little glue or a teacup of soft boiled rice to a pail of whitewash, and also add ten or twenty drops of crude carbolic acid as a safeguard against vermin. An Early Peach. Mr. James T. DePass, in a letter to the Florida Dispatch, speaks rather enthusias tically of anew peach which he has and which ripens in the latter part of May. He says that it is unlike either the Peen-to or the Honey peach. This is his description of it: Appearance, good; size, medium; shape, oblong; both ends somewhat flattened; color, dull red with occasional tinges of pule yellow; freestone; flesh, whitish green with flashes of red, coarse grained, fibrous, ten der and melting; sweet and rich; quality, good. The fruit had strong peach aroma wanting in the Peen-to and Honey, and bore no resemblance to either of these types. Although Mr. De Pass does not mention the name, it is evidently, says the Dispatch, a Freestone Indian Blood. It is better quality than is usual with this class, and if it prove as early every year, and adapted to this State it w ill be a decided acquisition. Household. Batter Pudding —Mix smoothly one tablespoon;' ’I each of flour and sugar, with a pint of milk and a pinch oi salt. Pour it into a well-buttered piedish and leave it in a slow oven till set. It must not boil. Pearl Barley Pudding.—Simmer a tablesjwonfulof pearl barley till thoroughly swellod, in milk. Lav it in a piedish, pour in the milk and a little sugar; place some tiny pieces of dripping (well clarified) on the top and bake. Amourettkn.— Steep some neatly shaped slices of bread, without crust,, in a custard of egg, milk and a little sugar, well Uiaten together. Pry a golden brown and serve very hot, with a squeeze of lemon and siftod sugar over them. Tapioca and Apples—Core the apples and stew them, well covered with water, either whole or in quarters, with sugar to taste, till tender. Boil three ounces or four ounces of tapioca till liquid, pour it on the apples and bake half an hour. Herve with a jug of milk. Cup Pudding.—Mix carefully on cup each of flour, ground rice, finely chopped suet, milk and raisin*, with a teaspoonlul of carbonate of soda, the same of ground gin ger (if liked), aud a tablespoouful of vine THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JUNE 20, 1887. gar. Boil four hours and serve with sweet sauce; but it is very good without. Peach Cobi.er.— Make a crust for bis cuit, line a pan or pudding dish with the crust; mix three tablespoon fills flour, two of sugar and sprinkle over thoerust; then peril sufficient peaches to fill your dish, leaving them whole; sprinkle over them one cup sugar; wet the edges with a little water and flour; put on the tipper crust, making two incisions in same; bake half an hour. To be eaten with sweet, sauce. Pumpkin Pie. —Take a largo sized pump kin, firm, of deep color, bon just as you would potatoes with skins on; when thor oughly cooked pass through a colauder sieve; take one cup brown sugar, one cup molasses; mix well together; beat the whites and the yolks of four eggs well aud mix with the pumpkin, then add the sugar and mo lasses, a pinch of salt, four teaspoonfuls good ginger, one tea-spoonful ground cinna mon; take one cup of milk; mix all together. This is for six good sized pies. For smaller pumpkins add less milk and spices. Bake in a deep plate lined with pastry. Squash pie is made the same way. Farm Notes. Currycomb and brush well applied are the best medicines to aid horses and cattle while they are shedding their coats. It is said that the milk of cows that are salted regularly churns much more easily than the milk of cows not salted. Intelligent and wide-awake farmers are more and more considering the importance of level culture for the corn plant. A South Carolina fanner says he cured hog cholera by giving the animals a liberal supply of Bicarbonate of soda and salt mixed in equal proportions. The character of manure is largely deter mined by the food. That from hogs and poultry is always rich, because these kinds of stock are giving grain and concentrated food. In vegetable growing deep, rich soil, now so generally condemned for fruit gardens, is of the first importance. Soil cannot be too rich or too deep-if we would have good vegetables. Soapsuds make a special fertilizer for cel ery, and where only a small space can be de voted to that crop, as iu a garden, all the soapsuds of the house should be saved and applied thereon. Prof. Johnson, of the Michigan Agricul tural College, thinks it is better to have sev eral small silos than one that is large. He estimates that three tons of ensilage is equal to one ton of hay. At this season it is best to ship poultry to market alive, as the warm weather is not favorable to the keeping of dressed car casses ; hence they must be sold immediately or decomposition may result. It is estimated that the expense of sup porting the dogs in this country amounts to over $80,000,000 a year, and this does not include the loss occasioned by the dogs, such as destroying sheep and birds. A French paper says that petroleum de stroyes all insects, and banishes rats and mice, aud that water slightly impregnated with petroleum applied to plants infected with ltssects will destroy them. Toads will eat bees; hence they should be Guarded against when locating the hive. I very bee that falls to the ground when overloaded with pollen will be seized by a toad if the latter be under the hives. Lands that are overstocked not only yield loss food, but the animals pastured upon them make a less yield in beef or milk than when the stock is in proportion to the capa city of the lands for producing food. A solution of saltpetre sprinkled on cab bages is said to be effective in driving off the cabbage-fly. It is harmless, and also an excellent fertilizer. It should be ap plied twice a week, however, and used plentifully. New land, or clover sod plowed under, is excellent for turnips. Superphosphate is one of the best fertilizers for turnips, and in putting in the crop use plenty of seed in order to escape the fly, which is very de structive during some seasons. What we need is not more acres of grain, but more bushels to the acre; not more acres of meadow, but more tons of hay to the acre. Fifteen acres of wheat at fifteen bushels to the acre, at present prices, means a loss; but ten acres at thirty bushels per acre insures a nice profit. Salt will not kill out. worms, as is sup posed, though it is fatal to the white grub. The only sure way of getting rid of cut worms is to plow late in the fall or early in the spring, so as to nllow the frost to destroy them, as they cannot get back into the ground after being thrown up by the plow. If the beets, carrots and parsnip* have not made good growth so far apply 100 pounds of saltpetre per acre. Scatter it evenly, and the rains will dissolve and carry it to the roots of the plants. A few days after a rain, should the saltjjetrn be applied the plants will take a deeper color and grow ing these crops is the long time required for the seeds to germinate, and hence a uniform field is something unusual. Popular Science. Turpentine, in doses of twenty or thirty minims, will not only remove headache, but produce, in a wonderful manner, a soothing influence. A San Francisco concern is making hand some pressed bricks out of coal asnes and cinders. These bricks have stood the sever est tests for strength, and are made without baking or burning. M. Peyraud considers one of the best means of determining the death of an in dividual to 1* cauterization by Vienna paste. If tho eschar forms slowly and is of a yellow color, or transparent, death may be positively declared, while if it be red, brown or biaek life still exists. Mildew spots may bo removed by a mix ture of soft soap, boiled starch, salt and lemon juice. Apply to the spots and bleach in tlie sun four hours. If the spots be old enough to resist tuis treatment rub yellow soap on both sides of the article, then apply thick starch made with cold wafer and hang out in the sun. Dr. C. C. iStockard, of Columbus, Miss., referring to a communication of Dr. Boyd concerning the insolubility of gelatine coated quinine pills ji.c-s trorn the bowels undigested, even where there was no gastric inflammation. He has never known this to occur with freshly tilled gelatine capsules, nor with gelatine-coated pills, ex cept those of quinine. The latter ho re gards as so unreliable that he never pre scribes them.

Very few persons need to die from even a very large dose of opium if seen in time to apply the requisite pam to coun teract it. At a recent meeting of the Medical Society of Berlin Dr. Dewin made a com munication on the physiological effects of a resinous extract prepared from kava (Piper iitelli’i/xlicum), to which he attributes a local action similar to that of cocaine.
