FARM AND HOUSEHOLD,

The war waged against insect enemies
St the farm is a never-ending one. When
the farmer has conquered one class of
feats another is liable to spring up;

.rale many crops are annually destroyed.
While there will be occasional inroads
the most cautious and watchful agricul
turist is powerloss to resist, as a rule care
and promptness will conquer the worst
•nemies. In a paper read before the
Ohio Horticultural Society, and incorpo
rated in a recent report, A. C. Barrows,
cf Kent, Ohio, related his experience in
resisting insect enemies, and expressed
“ ;fn "
himself in favor of the following insecti

Iceland owes its existence entirely to
volcnnic upheaval and has ever been one
of the most active volcnnic regions of the
globe. It is situated in tho North A t
lantic Ocoan, just south of the arctic
circle, which it touches, and goograph
ically belongs to tho Western Hemi
sphere, though the circumstances of its
discovery and tho political changes that
took place during the ousuing centuries
cast its lot with the Old World. In area
the island is about 40,000 square miles,
or somewhat similar to the States of
Maine and Ohio, but nine-tenths of this
is entirely uninhabited.
Tho farms nnd villages of Iceland are
all contained in a narrow belt that runs
around the island, nnd are situated in
tho valleys between tho mountain chains
that radiate from the high land of tho
interior nnd extend far into tho sea.
Within this inhabitable ring tho island
is one vast desert, a huge tableland that

Average eggs weigh eight to the

contains more nourishment than a pound

Some Mistakes About Snakes.
Mr. ltheem, who has charge of the
reptile spoeimens in the Smithsonian In-
etftc
nutate, contradicts much of tho popu
lar belief as to snakes. Some of the most
rethrum on cubbagc plants was attended
"with entire success. One pound of pv-
rethrum mixed with 150 gallons of water
killod every worm it came in contact,
with.
In order to keep the striped beetle
from the vinos the experiment was tried
of placing corn-cobs dipped in coal tar
near the nills. Whilo the practice did
not entirely prevent tho ravages of the
beetle, their numbers were largely dimin
ished.
As skimmed milk contains the ele
ments for producing bone and muscle
rather than flesh, it will bo found more
profitable to feed it to pigs, calves and
colts, than to animals which have ob
tained their growth, excepting hens, to
which it furnishes a large proportion of
egg-producing material.
Soapsuds applied to gooseberry or to
currant bushes will kill moss growing o\
them. The application may be mado at
any time, but better when no leaves aro
on. Several applications may bo re-
? uired, but as the suds is an excellent
ertilizer the trouble will bo more than
compensated for by tho increased
growth.
The old canes and branches of black
berries are very convenient to cover
strawberries in placos where other cover ■
ing would be scratched off by bens.
They do not blow off easily, and hens
will not disturb them. Potato-tops are
good covering for strawberries, as they
contain no weak seed, and they make a
very fertilizing mulch.
Eel Farming.
A newspaper correspondent at South
Yarmouth, Mass., has discovered a now
cutorprise, which ho describes as follows:
Two gentlcmon whoso experience war
rants them in trying tho experiment pur
chased a large freshwater pond,and into
this they put thirty barrels of salt water
eels of all Bizes. At a rough guess there
must be in the pond 20,000 cels at the
present time. These aro expected to in
crease in size or weight at least three
fold by the first of October, when they
will be taken out and shipped to the
Now York market, where there is always
a great demand for them. Hero on the
Bcacoast no one ever thinks of eating a
fresh-water eel; its flesh is soft and very
fat, but they are considered a great deli
cacy by city people, and the larger the
fish the better pricoB they bring. To
feed them 9,000 “horso feet” wore caught
aud kept iu a. pound in the river, and
twice a week 700 pounds are thrown into
the pond, and by this time the eels have
learned to know thoy aro fed, and the
water soon becomes alivo with these
squirm'ug specimens. The scheme has
not found much favor with the village
people generally, but perhaps when win
ter comes the gentlemen most interested
will be the ones to laugh.

Lo's Appreciation of a Fine Scalp
At one of the agencies one Sunday the
Indians were gathered near tho officers'
quarters devoutly performing certain re
ligious dutleB. An officer induced a
young woman from one of the Eastern
cities, who waa possessed of a remarka
bly heavy bead of blonde hair, reaching
to tho ground, to allow it to flow loosely
and let the Indians admire. She at once
became the center of attraction, to the
utter neglect of the religious ceremonies.
They gathered about her in swarms and
manifested their pleasure at the sight by
jumping about, rubbing their hands and
gesticulating wildly. They pronouneed
it the finest scalp they had
and permitted to draw his yearly supply
of goods, consisting of ryemeal, flour,
coffoo, sugar, calico and lumber. Upon
tho farms the houses, with very lew
exceptions, aro clusters of low,
turf-covercd huts with gable ends,
doors nnd window frames of
wood, and, if seon from a dis
tance, aro not easily recognized by the
stranger. Sheep and even ponies are fre
quently soon upon the roofB in quest of
the grass that glows more luxuriantly
thoro than in tho pastures; but the in
terior of tho houses is often made very
comfortable by paneling nnd flooring
with wood, painted, and sometimes
nicely furnished. Not having much to
do nt any sonson, not caring to exert
himself beyond hia yearly necessities, the
Icelander finds much time for reading,
hie favorite occupation. One who can
not both road and write is not to be
found, and indeed, as a whole, they aro
ono of the best educated poople on the
globo. Well informed in history, geo
graphy, and literature, especially of their
owu country, tho traveler is often sur
prised to find these poople conversing
very intelligently about persons and
oveuts of all countrios and agos, though
they themselves may never havo been out
of sight of their own island. A faculty
for learning languages is certainly a
trait of these people, ns overy day one
meets persons who converse fluently in
Danish and English, and perhaps Ger
man or French or even Latin. This in
tho towns nnd villages where they como
in contact with people of othor nations.
Further inland no chance is afforded for
S ractico, but many of tho people read un-
erstaudinjrly languages which they do
not speak. There arc those on tho island
who havo traveled extensively in
other countries, and having studied
their institutions and learned of the peo‘-
ple, aro now trying to give their coun
trymen the benefit of that knowledge
and to gaiu from other people that recog
nition to which their native land is cer
tainly entitled. Two or three learned
■ocieties lead a flourishing existence
here; and after years of inactivity the
country is again bringing forth authors
and scholars who cannot but be recog
nized among thoso of other nations. At
several places on the island there are well
equipped printing offices. From these,
every year, are turned out books, the
workmanship of which, both in typo
graphy and binding, often surprises the
visitor. At Reykjayik, four modest, but

It was curious to notlco the difference
of opinion among the fishermen, who
have lived here all their lives, as to tho
pvramids.
“What do you think makes them?”
was asked of the intelligent man.
I don’t think anything about It,” ho
replied. “I know it’s muskrats.”
“But tho muskrats couldn’t get into
a pile of rocks and gravel, ” was sug
gested.
“That’s jest what puzzled n^e,” con
tinued the fisherman. “But I’ve seen a
muskrat under water on a heap and
killed it right there. No, I nover seo
one bringing rocks,but what was ho doin’
on tho mound if lie wan’t totin’ stone?
He might have had his mouth full and I
wouldn't have seen it.”
.•Why?”
“Because I’ve seon the big bass fool

many times. What would they be doin’

Utilizing tho Monkey.
Perhaps the only attempts which have
been mado to civilize the mouey is in
Malabar, India, says Dr. A. H. Ward.
A fine species indigenous in this quarter
is tho Neligherry langur. The natives
here havo fanning machines caijed the
punka. In, other days tho punka, which
consists of a . moveable frame covered
with canvass and suspended from the
ceiling, was kopt in motion by a slave
pulling a cord. An Enclish officer con
ceived tho idea of teaching the langur
to do the work. He took one of the
species and tied its hands to the cord,
while by means of another cord the ma
chine was kept in motion. The move
ment of the cord is up and down, nnd
of course, the monkey’s hands being tied
to it, went up and down, and the animal
saw tho machine move. Its master pat
ted its head and fed it with candy, and
the langur soon learned to think it fun
to work the machine. When I was in
Malabar socuring specimens of this
species, I saw thousands of them work

then the trouble is not over. On the
contrary, it is only just begun. If you
do not pin down tho sides, ten to one

tho more persistently does the pin refuse
topenetrate. You throw pin No. 1 down
with a casual remark, and take up pin
No 2. No 2 deceives you into believing
that it is an honest pin.. The point enters
the linen with a charming docility, but
whon you drive it home, it doubles up
into a fish hook, and, with more casual
remarks, you fling it after No. 1. You
catch with desperation a third pin, and,
giving it a savage push, drive it half way
up to the head into your thumb or

throbs through your lacerated digit, the
fact that your collar is besmeared with
