Remedy for Insects.
The damage annually done by insects,
jays the Philadelphia Record, is so great
that farmers naturally welcome any remedy
that may be suggested as efficacious, and in
order to enlighten them Prof. Riley, Ento
mologist of the Department of Agriculture,
tested nearly all the remedies that had been
recommended by individuals or through the
newspapers. His results show that ice-water
is not reliable as a remedy against the cab
bage worm, while salt and water, and salt
petre and water also failod; One part car
bolic acid to 100 parts of water injured the
leaves and did not kill the worms under the
leaves. Pyrethrum, one part, and flour,
three parts, dusted on the plants, killed
three-fourths of the worms, while Wolf’s
soap, one ounce to a gallon of water, applied
at a temperature of 90* killed one-half.
Kerosene emulsion destroyed 80 per cent, of
all worms exposed to it, but buckwheat
flour, ammonia, powdered alum, copperas
water, earbolized lime, black pepper, tar
water and tomato water were failures. Cop
peras water (one ounce copperas to a quart
of water) had no effect, but when reduced
to half that quantity of water it killed all
the worms. Carbolato of lime drove them
away but did not kill them. With the
striped cucumber beetle Wolf’s soap did no
good, though carbolate of lime in the male
blossoms of squash vines killed the beetles.
Tar water and Wolf’s soap drove the mar
gined blister beetle from beets, but they re
turned. Copperas water and ammortia
water had no effect on them, but 1 part car
bolicaeid in 64 parts water drove them away
permanently. Kerosene emulsion destroyed
the yellow-neoked caterpillars, but potas
sium sulphide, Wolf’s soap, copperas water
and ammonia did not injuro them. Two
applications of a saturated solution of salt
killed the lice on lettuce, and so did Wolf’s
soap. The soap also killed the aphides on
green-house plants but damaged the foliage.
The woolly aphis on apple trees was de
stroyed by kerosene emulsion but uninjured
by tar water and other remedies. The re
sults show that kerosene emulsion is about
the best insecticide, but when used on cab
bage it imparts its odor. The difficulty is
to destroy insects without injuring the
plants.
Buckwheat.
Mr. George E. Walsh, writing to the Her
ald about buckwheat and its Successful pro
duction, says that if it is sown on rich land
it will, of course, yield better than when
sown in new land which has just been
scratched over with the plow or harrow,
and in proportion to the fertility and state
of cultivation of the soil will be the need of
more or less seed per acre. If the soil is
mellow and well worked a peck of seed to
the acre will give a good yield, while on a
piece of rich lowland meadow broken up for
reseeding a bushel of seed will be sufficient
for five acres. There is one advantage in
thin sowing which is not always appreciated.
It greatly encourages the branching of the
plant, and upon these branches the seed is
borne vefly thickly, while the grain is larger
and plumper than when sown thickly. On
new land the grain is sown thicker, owing
to the fact that a great deal of the seed will
fall upon spots where the ground has been
unbroken, or on stumps and roots, so that
about twenty per cent, of the seed put into
the ground will fail to come up. T.hq choice
of the seed also affects the growth of the
plants considerably, although the black and
the gray appeal - to grow almost equally well
on averagejsoils. Upon a thin, gravelly,
slate soil, which is in good condition, the
gray variety yields more and better flour
than the dark, thick-skinned kind. But
these conditions of soil are not always ob
tainable on a farm and, under other cir
cumstances, either variety will yield a good
harvest.
The question of fertilizers for buckwheat
is one to which little attention has been paid.
Why any fertilizer should be used may seem
strange to those who have been accustomed
to raise the grain on poor land, where it
seemed to flourish under the most unfavora
ble circumstances. On rich, well cultivated
land, tlien.it would seem that manure would
lie sheer waste. This is partly true, but if
the crop is to be raised in the most approved
manner, the same as the other grains, the
application of n little superphosphate of
lime would not bo money lost. Buckwheat
Is a great nitrogen gatherer, and in the hot
season when this crop is grown the produc
tion of nitrates in the soil is going on ac
tively, and the crop is naturally well sup
plied with nitrogen in any soil in which this
fertilizing agent can be developed in an ac
tive condition. The application of piaster
is also beneficial.
Something About Cut Worms.
Wo are so generally asked, says the Ame
rican Agriculturist , about the “cut worm”
that It is evidently the popular idea that
there is but one Insect deserving that name,
while in fact there are half a dozen or more,
all larvae of different species of moths.
Practically they might be regarded ns one,
did not some of them ascend trees, shrubs
and other plnutspn their destructive work,
while most of them confine their operations
to the surface and wor k their mischief by
cutting off young and tender plants even
with the ground. Their work is done at
night, and as daylight approaches they liido
themselves in holes in tho ground. Cabbage,
when first set out, and lettuce and other
plants of tho garden, up to squashes and
other plants of tho farm, are attacked by
them. Growing muskmelous and water
melons for Northern markets is now an im
portant industry in the Southern States,
especially wjtliin easy reach of the shipping
ports, some hundreds of acres being occu
pied by watermelons alone. Tho grower of
melons, as well as of cabbages, etc., finds
that his greatest obstacle to success is in tho
attack of cut worms. Various devices have
been proposed to ward off their attacks, but
among these none appear to be so sensible
or so effective as that devised by Dr. A.
Oemler, author of “Truck Fanning for the
South.” Dr. Oemler kills off the cut worms
before the plants appear. Upon his water
melon fields he sets poison traps at about
fifteen feet apart each way. These “traps
are cabbage or turnip leaves, which have
been moistened on the concave side and then
dusted with a mixture of paris green with
twenty partsof flour. Those leaves are placed
over tho field, poisoned side down, at the dis
tances above stated,before the plants appear.
What follows? The doctor facetiously says:
“Two such applications, particularly in
cloudy weather, at intervals of three or four
days, will suffice to allow the cut worms to
make way with themselves, which they gen
erally do with perfect success."
Fruit Trees and Soil.
In writing about fruit trees Daniel Den
nett says that it is pretty certain that most
u nit trees in the South suffer severely from
poverty of soil, from lack of lime, potash
and humus in the soil, and are choked and
robbed by grass mid weeds. If one could
put around each tree half a peck or a peck of
imie and half a bushel of ashes, and then
Pile up half a cart load of rotten leaves and
i otten woods to be scratched down by chick
ens in search of bugs and worms, the trees
would be far more thrifty and would bear
more and better fruit.
Then, whatever others may think, we
ould prune peach and apple trees closely
immediately after the last fruit is gathered.
*\ e tn<xi this last season and it worked ad
mirably. It may not do well in all orchards
every year, but it certainly did well in our
orchard last year.
It is recommended to tie up a piece of
rosin soap in a rag and place it in the fork
of an apple or peach tree. The rains will
gradually wash the soap down in the fork
where the blight attacks in the apple tree
and it will do good at the roots of any fruit
tree when it gets there.
We believe in plowing an orchard with a
light good turning plow after the fruit is
taken off. If roots are broken or wounded
they will have time to heal and recuperate
before tho blossoming and fruit season.
Plow - in most of tho rotten leaves and rotten
w-ood applied in the winter and add another
hnlf cart load the next winter. The fruits
•will pay for such labor.
Utilizing - Feathers.
'I he Poultry World says that feathers,
properly saved, have a market value and it
pays to save them. But many people, upon
farms and in villages, scarcely deem the
small quantity they have worth the trouble
of saving for market. Feathers, however,
make a valuable fertilizer when properly
treated. Plowed under they may be of
some service mechanically, but of very little
in furnishing plant food for many years.
1 hey are rich in nitrogen, but the nitrogen
is in a form which is unavailable for plant
food. The nitrogen can be freed, however,
in the following simple way: Into a glazed
earthen vessel pour a quart or so of sul
phuric acid and then add the feathers. In
a few days those placed in the acid will be
dissolved and another lot may be added. A
quart of the acid will be sufficient for the
feathers of eight or ten fowls. When the
acjd will no longer dissolve the feathers pour
it upon the compost heap, or mix it with
any absorbent like dry earth, muck or ashes
and you will have a valuable fertilizer,
readily assimilated, in place of the unsightly
feathers blowing here and there.
Florida and California Oranges.
The well-known Entomologist, Prof.
Riley, of the Smithsonian Institute, who
has lately spent some time in California, on
being asked which State produced the best
fruit, Florida or California, said: “Com
parisons are odious. Conditions of climate,
treatment, marketing, etc., could not well
be more markedly different than between
the two sections. The Florida fruit is gene
rally marketed before the fruit of Southern
California is ready. As to quality I have
seen every degree, from the minimum dry,
pithy pulp surrounding closely packed seed,
and itself surrounded by a rhinoceros-thick
rind to the most delicious seedless fruit. As
a whole, the California fruit is thicker
skinned and more acidulous than the Florida
fruit. The former has consequently a bet
ter shipping quality, the latter is the most
delicious. Thajgis at least my opinion; but
you know tastes vary and the average Cali
fornian doubtless finds the Florida fruit in
sipid.”
How to Destroy-a Pest.
Many farmers have a great deal of trou
ble to get rid of lice which afflict their
chickens. The Home and Farm says that
before treating the chickens let the nests
they brood in, the coops and roosts be cleaned
out thoroughly—even the dust removed.
Then whitewash, using a wash strongly re
inforced by ten to twenty per cent, of kero
sene, everything, high and low, and sprin
kle the ground or earth floor, and the fowls’
runways, with a solution of copperas—one
pound to the gallon of water. Procure
three or four ounces of mercurial ointment,
extend it in three times its bulk of lard, and,
with it, annoint lightly the parts where the
insects gather and burrow, and also touch
the mother hen under the wings and on the
breast with the same. But be careful and!
not use too much of the ointment; an ex
cess will kill the chickens. It will be well, •
too, to improve the diet of the chickens by
the addition of fresh meat and onions
chopped up together and fed once or twice
a week. ._
The Dust Bath.
Our domestic fowls, says the Southern
Farmer , go to their dust bath with eager
ness, and it either makes them “feel good,”
or it prevents them feeling bad, for to all
appearance they enjoy it exceedingly. A
louse will stand considerable water without
being suffocated, but very fine, dry dust is
death to vermin, for the reason that it closes
tne small spiracles by which air is admitted
for breathing, and thus they are suffocated.
This is tho means provided by nature by
which the fowls may rid themselves of a
torment. They seem also to take a positive
pleasure while wallowing among clean dirt.
Fowls running at large in sufnmer can help
themselves.
Household.
To make plain jelly put tfce fruit on, eover
well with water and lot simmer till soft.
Take off, strain, and to one cup of juice put
one of sugar. Test by dipping out a little
and cooling quickly. Be careful to keep it
boiling steadily until dono.
To make sponge cake use tho following re
cipe; Twelve eggs, beaten separately, three
cups of sugar (not too full); flavor with
lemon. Tea rako: Six eggs, two cups of
lard four cups of sugar, one and ono half
of buttermilk, one teaspoonful of soda, as
much flour as this will make up; flavor to
taste.
For pickled peaches the following recipe
is recommended: After tho peaches are
neeled allow one-hall” of sugar to each pound
of fruit With as little water us possible
make a syrup of the sugar; when the syrup
is quite clear just scald tho peaches in it and
then place them carefully into medium sized
glazed stone jars; sprinkle plenty of stick
cirtnamon and a few cloves lietween the fruit.
Let the syrup boil for live minutes longer,
sufficient to give a pleasant sun-acid taste,
let it boil up again and at once porn - over
the poaches. When cold tie up well and
store in a dark, cold place.
To make ice cream take one gallon fresh
sweet milk, boat the yelks of two eggs well
and stir into tho milk for coloring, sweeten
and flavor to taste, then place it on your
stove and let it come to a hot simmer but
not boiling If you have no freezer use a
tin buckef iMide of a water bucket, with
alternate lnvc*K of Ice and salt around the
tin bucket, filling the spaceport ween the tin
and wooden vessel, until about an inch of
the top of the former; the layers erf ice

bucket half-way arouhd in one direction,
then half-way around in the opposite direc
tion. Be pareful to have a close fitting top
to your tin vessel and let no salt water or
ice into the milk or cream. After turning
a few minutes open and cut the frozen cream
which adheres to the side of the tin bucket
from it; replace the top and turn as before.
Continue on in this way until the whole is
frozen through.
Farm Notes.
There is no necessity for using elaborately
designed poultry-houses. One with a good
tight root, and the walls lined with tarred
felt, will be warm and comfortable in
winter, and, if well ventilated, will answer
for summer.
Drab grass springs up after every rain. It
should be eradicated when very yduny, and
on dry, warm days. If cleaned out in its
first stages the work will be easy, but if it lie
allowed to root well and make growth it will
entail a vast amount of labor.
It is well settled that nothing is added to
manurial strength by fermentation. The
only thing that can ever be gained by any
degree of the process would be to soften the
fibrous matters so that tbev could be more
readily taken up as plant-food—i. e., to act
more quickly.
Since wool declined there has been a
steady demand for sheep of the mutton
breeds, and many farmers have come to the
conclusion that they can make larger profits
from mutton and lamb than from wool.
The future will witness a much better
quality of mutton in our markets.
Give to the cows none but the best and
purest food. With no other stock is tins so
essential, for the reason that, it has been
fully demonstrated by competent author
ties that the milk is a very prolific source
of transmiting disease germs from
impure food, and especially from impure
water.
Of the varieties of tomatoes the Living
ston Favorite is one of the best. It is very
smooth, a beautiful red in color, not so
liable to rot as the Acme, and ripens as
early as the standard kinds. It is also
large in size and ripens well around the
stem, which is not the case with the
Trophy.
Prof. Henry, of lowa, is very positive in
some of his statements respecting the best
silos and the best and cheapest way to se
cure silage. He condemns tho old silo made
of stones for seemingly good reasons. He
advocates using scantlings—2x _ boarded
on both sides over building paper, giving a
dead air space.
A crop of carrots should be grown on all
farms. It is too late in the season now for
such a crop, but a piece of ground should be
plowed and kept clean until next spring in
order to destroy the weeds before the next
season. The great difficulty in growing car
rots is slow germination of the seed, thus
allowing the weeds to get ahead.
Dragging a harrow over the plowed
ground is one of the hardest tasks that
hofses have to do in farm work, and teams
are often imposed upon while doing it. The
walking is hard for Doth driver and horses,
and the former is often tempted to ride
either on the harrow or on one of the horses,
not thinking or caring what the conse
quences really are.
Oxford Down sheep attain to very heavy
weights, the rams at 3 years of age reach
ing as high as 400 pounds and ewes 300.
They are the largest of the mutton breeds,
and yield a fleece of medium wool weighing
20 pounds. These weights are for special
individuals that have iieen on exhibition,
but 300 pounds is not an unusual weight for
rams over 2 years old.
It is not so much the little red mites in
the hen-bouse that do the damage to poultry
as it is the large gray body lice, which work
on the heads and necks. Look closely for
them, as they do not leave the body of tho
fowls. The sleepy disease in chicks, droop
ing spirits of the bens and failure to lay,
though well-fed and in apparent health, may
be traced to the large lice on hens.
A farmer informs the Department of
Agriculture that he has evidence leading
him to believe that the crows spread hog
cholera. Unless all carcasses be destroyed
by fire the crows carry fragments of flesh
to distant points. Ho states that ho has
found pieces of swine flesh in his fields
apparently dropped there by crows, which
congregate in large numbers in his sec
tion.
The Indiana man who carefully blanketed
his cows while being milked, so the flies
would not bite them and cause them to kick
over pail and milker, might have obtained
really humane, and, at the same time, last
ing comfort to the cows by allowing them
to rest in a darkened shed. The idea may
really be carried, with profit to providing
such refuge in pasture where biting flies are
numerous. The subject is especially directed
to dairymen.
Popular Science.
Gelatine is the latest adulterant of butter.
By adding gelatine, which absorbs ten times
its weight of water, the consistency (of the
butter is retained and the water adultera
tion is not noticeable.
Steam and gas fitters have just learned
that graphite properly prepared is superior
to red lead for making joints and connec
tions. It is said that this article will not
“set” under any conditions,, but that it
makes a perfect joint and preserves the iron
from rust.
The manufacture of real Russia iron in
this country is an assured fact, and a plant
will shortly be started in Cleveland, Ohio,
with natural gas for fuel. An American
manufacturer has possessed himself of the
secret process in use in Russia for making
this variety of iron, after journeying-to
Siberia to obtain it. Some specimens of the
improved imitation iron have been shown
which apparently possess all the good quali
ties of the genuine article.
With a view to overcoming the difficulties
in spreading borax and other fluxing ma
terials over the heated surface in making
welds, a Frenchman has invented plates,
usually consisting of n very pliable wire
gauze, on both sidesof which the flux, being
highly vitrified, is evenly spread. Paper
may be also used as a support. In cases of
small surfaces it is often sufficient to form a
sheet ot the flux and metal filings agglome
rated together. The plates are simply
placed between the surface in place of the
powder being sprinkled on, the wire gauze
being welded iu between the surfaces.
Anew idea is a bed-spring which shall
serve as a fire-escape in time of danger. It
consists of four sots of springs, 7 feet long
and just wide enough when laid together
to sit in a bed-frame. is attached
to the adjoining one by u<lbnip, which
unites iron appendages fasti to the end
of the springs. These add to
the length of the to make
it about 30 feet long while nut of
tho window. One of each is
fitted with rungs made of Af’^pPß-iron, the
only part of the contrivance not of steel.
These rungs, w hich are on the outside when
the springs depend from the window, and
about 15 inches apart, form a pretty strong
ladder, which may be made use or for de
scent.
Prof. Scribner of the Department of Agri
culture, Washington, in a paper on fungi,
says that while sulphate of copper and lime,
applied separately, had very little if any
effect in preventing mildew in vines, the
combination of tho two had entirely pre
vented it. A go<xl formula was to dissolve
one pouned sulphate of copjier in two gal
ions of water. Slake two pounds of good
lime in the same quantity of water and then
mix the solutions, when the mixture should
be thoroughly applied to vine and foliage.
Another method of application is to ilissoive
sixteen and a half pound* of sulphate ill the
smallest quantity of water possible; also to
have it, when slaked, in the liquid form.
Mix these thoroughly and dr}-. When dry
crush and powder. The powder can be
blown over foliage, fruit and vine.
Phillips' Digestible Cocoa.
Unlike other cocoas or chocolates, it is not
greasy, and though containing all tbe nutriment
of tbe richest cocoa bean, it is so prepared that
it will not disturb digestion, and makes a deli
