FARM AM) GARDEN.
Ants in the Garden.
A writer in the bonntn / Gentlem m
eays: ror years my garden was the
stamping ground of an enormous army
of black ants, and though I fought them
in all sorts of ways I could not get rid of
them till Itr ed naphtha I made in
each ant hill a half dozen holes with an
iron bar, pushed a few pieces of straw or
hay to the bottom, poured in the holes
and on the g ound about them two
quarts of naphtha, and set it on the.
When the fire begins to die down it is a
good plan to throw two inches of earth
over the whole ant hill. I do not guess
this will clean out ants; I know it.
There are many things that will drive
ants from their nests, only to turn up
near by in a few days, but this prevent
ive cleans them out for good and all.
It also makes \our neighbor’s ants hate
you so that they will not set foot on
your ground.
Tile Care of Growing; Grafts.
Even before grafts open their buds,
says ‘-An Old Grafter” in the A'ew York
Trii.un', there will be found other shoots
issuing from the stock below the graft.
The rising sap enters these channels
more readily ihan in the somewhat
dried up cells of the graft, with the line
of separation left by the knife to be
bridged over; and if the volunteer
channels aie not suppressed or reduced
in time the graft may starve. I aually,
however, if in good sound condition and
well set, it gets some share of thp sap,
its buds open, and its amount ofgrowih
depends largely on its being protected
from its greedy competitors. In order
to secure its full growth and the proper
ripening of its wood, the wild shoots
should be rubbed off as soon as they hist
show themselves and befoie they are in
leaf. To let them grow to .some length
and then suddenly break them off is an
in jurious violence—a shoc k to circula
tion and growth which is very apt to
prevent the full ripening of the new
wood in time to safely endure the trials
of the next winter.
The Apple-Tree Borer.
The Country Gentleman gives this ad
vice to a subscriber who asks for a recipe
destroying the apple-tree borer:
‘•The apple-tree borer may be prevented
from entering the trees to a greater ex
tent by the u-e of alkaline washes. Soft
soap reduced to the consistence of thick
paint by the addition of a strong solu
tion of washing soda,applied to the bark
of the tree late in May or early in .!une,
and again in duly, will dry in "few hours
on a warm day, and will exclude the in
sect more or less frflni laying its eggs.
The. same effect will be produced by
making a mound of fresh manure around
the ba-e of the stem, eight or ten inches
high, or even of earth, but if done later
in the season these preventive remedies
will be of little use after the eugs are
deposite din the bark. After the insects
have obtained possession, and their pres
ence is shown by the sawdust-like cast
ings, clear their openings with the point
of a knite, and punch them to death
with a flexible wire or small slender
twig. After some experience, an active
hand will go over hundreds in a day.
The Sheen Tick.
The tick is a wingless, broad, p’ttrnp,
dark red insect, about a quarter of an
inch in length and covered with a very
tough and leathery integument. It is
known scientifically as Als/op/togu o - in >t<.
The legs ot the tick are short and stout,
and it adheres with great tena ity to the
wool. By means of a proboscis as long
is its head it pierces the skin and suck”
the blood of its victim to such an extent
that, when numerou-, they have been
known to almost entirely empty the
veins and deprive a lamb‘of li e.* The
irait upon the vitality of lambs infested
with ticks is very great, and sufficient to
arrest their growth altogether. To rid
the flock of these pests is, therefore, a
necessary labor in the spring or early
summer, and, if need be, again in the
autumn. The easiest way is to dip both
sheep and lambs as soon as the sheep
are shorn, and aga n in September, iu a
decoction of tobacco mixed with sul
phur. Coarse plug tobacco, or tobacco
stems, which are cheaper than the
leaves, and equally effective, are steeped
in water at a r.oiling heat, but not boiling
water, at the proportion of four pounds to
twenty gallons of water. One pound of
flowers of sulphur is then stirred into the
liquid, which is brought to a tempera
tuie of 120 degrees i ahr., and kept so
during the dipping by the addition of
fresh hot liquor. While dipping the
mixture is kept stirred to preveut the
sulphur from subsiding. The dip may
be conveniently placed in a trough or a
tub large enough to allow of the immer
sion of the sheep, which is taken by the
feet by two men aud plunged into the
bath at the temperature mentioned, where
■it is held for a minute or two until the
wool is thorougly saturated. The ani
mal is then put into a pea with a raised
|floor sloping on each side to a trough in
the middle, a'ong which the superabun
dant liquor escapes into a pail or tub
pla ed to receive it. This method of
dipping is calculated for almost any num
ber. If in their struggles a little of the
*hp should enter the nostrils of the sheep,
no harm will re-nit, but the hot tobacco
water is, on the contrary, often beneficial
to those sheep affected with catarrh or
grubs in the head. —New York World.
insect Bests Among the Squashes.
All the squash tribe of plants are in
fested by a large variety of insect pests.
Their extreme succu'cnce seems to
attract a host of sucking parasites which
bv their numbers often destroy ihe crop
and render the bc-t care of the culti
vator futile. The worst of these pests
are the squash bug, which cores into the
root near the ground and saps the
vitality of the plant at its source, aud
the small striped beetle, which in its
mature state devours the leaves, and in
>ts infancy, as a small white grub, sucks
the sap from the root and causes the
b-ciy an 1 deuith of the stem just below
me surface. These two pests are easily
kept at a safe distance by putting some
stems arcund the young plant
or by placing a few corncobs steeped in
kerosene near the stem, or by the appli
cation of the well-known kerosene
emulsion to the root. A spotted beetle
-much like a “ladybird”—greenish
fijjlow in color, with twelve black spots
n the wing covers, is destructive to the
eaves, and the too familiar cutworm is
1 serious enemy to the young plants.
which are cut off at the stem and wholly
destroyed.
A safe way to avoid several of these
pests is to make small cylinders of straw
board two or three inches in diameter,
and two inches long, and dip these in
common tar or crude petroleum, setting
them around the young plants as soon
as the first leaves appear. These are a
great protection, and where no more
than a score or two of plants are grown
these are a practicable security. In- 1 the
field the best device is the kerosene
emulsion, male as follows: A pou id of
common brown soap is dissolved in a
gallon of hot water, a pint of kerosene
is added, and thoroughly beaten up, or
shaken, to make a tine emulsion. This
is poured around the roots, a table
spoonful being sufficient for a small
plant, or quarter of a pint for a large
one, and being appl'ed so as to saturate
the soil and cover the stem and roots
with a film of it. This is an effective
remedy against these troublesome pests,
which will destroy a large number of
unprotected plants in a night without
any previous warning. The leaves are
found wilting aud hanging down on the
stalks as the first indication of the mis
chief.
The kerosene emulsion is the best
remedy for the plant lice, which intest
not only melons, but oabbagesand many
other garden crops, as well as plum and
other limit trees. It is eas ly applied by
means of a large syringe with a fine
spraying nozzle. We have found it to
destroy the slieilbark lice upon apple
trees and to be the most easily ap
plied, as the small twigs can be covered
with it very quickly. All these lice
multiply with wonderful rapidity, hence
they should be attended to as soon as the
first of them are seen. A few day’s de
lay will result in their spread from one
melon plant over a dozen or more, and
aber this the spread is still more rapid,
every infested plant being a centre from
which they spread to the ad joining ones.
There are so many of these insect pests
and the damage they may do is so .--eri
£>us that every farmer and -fruit grower
should be on the alert to discover their
first appearan e and to open war upon
them without delay and pursue them
without rest until they are utterly de
stroyed.—New York Times. ■
Farm andl Garden Notes.
Tar sheep’s noses to prevent the gad
fly. •
Feed the plant and the plant will feed
you.
Don't feed the pasture or mow the
lawn too close.
Peas and oats sown together is a crop
increasing in favor.
A little hellebore dusted on the cur
rant bushes keeps off the worm.
Some farmers are all brains and other!
all elbow-grease, and neither succeed.
Slowly and gently, in a fine spray, is
a good rule for watering garden plants.
Though the season be late nothing is
gained by planting in poorly prepared
ground.
No animal kept on the farm will pro
duce more fertility or be better for tha
feed than swine.
A number of successlul fruit-groweri
report in favor of thinning fruit on over
loaded trees while it is young.
A man who seeds correctly and intel
ligently will save from 10 to .30 per cent,
o i er a man who follows only a haphazard
method.
Garden soil for tomatoes is commonly
much too rich, according to American
Cultivator, which recommends only mod
erately fertile soil.
“As a rule rocky, hard-pan soil will
give a better keeping apple than a clay
soil or one tending to loam,” says a well
known orchardist.
Now is the season when butter taints
very quickly, and none more quickly than
the choicest article. It is a time for
special care in manufacture, and for the
earliest practicable consumption.
For breaking heifers to be milked,
patience and gentleness are the only
re uisiteu If the udder is handled oc
casionally from a calf up tc covvdom the
heiier is aire tdy broken. This course
works charmingly.
t o long as the milk is warmer than the
surrounding atmosphere it is throwing
off vapor and is thereby purified. It
will not then absorb odors, but the
germs of fungi and other microscopic life
may fall into it and do it in jury.
Corn and potatoes may often be top
dressed to advmtage after planting, pro
viding fine manure is used. The culti
vation of these crops during the season
will mix the manure with the soil much
more perfectly than it could be if plowed
under.
Persons who keep fowls and sift their
coal ashes, as many do, will not be
troubled with poultry lice if they will
do the sifting in the henhouse. The
coal dust will penetrate every crack and
crevice, and the vermin cannot live
among that.
It is generally acknowledged that win
ter dairying pays best, and for this rea
son farmers should give more attention
to this part of the business. To attempt
this next winter suitable feed mu t be
raised this season, and good warm
stabling provided.
A vigorous opponent of the practice oi
dehorning includes among its demerits 8
marked deterioration of the animal foi
breeding or butter purposes. The Illi
nois Mat • Vet.rrinar an is reported as re
garding dehorning as a cruel act,especial
ly when practiced on cattle over a hall
year old.
When spokes and felloes shrink and
the wagon tires become loose in conse
quence, it is the custom to have the tires
reset, at the usual expense of fifty cents
each. It is far cheaper and better for
the wheels to saturate the entire wood
work with hot liuseed oil. It can be
ayplied with a rag tied to a stick. This
fills the pores and causes the timber tc
swell and till the tire as when new.
With a coat of hot oil once in a year ot
two there will be no loose tires, and the
wheels will last very much longer.
Life has such hard conditions that
every dear and precious gift, every rare
virtue, every pleasant faculty, every
genial endowment, love, hope, joy, wit,
sprightliness, benevolence, must some
times be put into the crucible to distil
the one elixir —patience.

A novel means of destroying caterpil

Extended observations at Paris and at
Munich indicate that the sanitary con
dition of a locality depends on the
amount of water contained in the
ground. The years in which there has
been a large quantity of ground water
present have invariably been the health
iest, while those in xvhich there has
been a smaller quantity have invariably
been the unhealthiest.

At the Royal Powder Factory of

in a rifle of small calibre, an initial ve
locity of 600 yards to the ball. This is
equal to, if it does not beat, the Lebel
powder. The additional advantages are
attributed to it of not smearing the bar
rel, of producing no smoke, and of caus
ing little recoil.
The use of saccharine as a substitute
for sugar is not considered safe from a
medical point of view. Dr. Worms
states that of several patients who made
use of saccharine by his advice, all but
one were soon compelled to give it up
on account of the occurrence of dyspep
tic symptoms, nausea, loss of appetite,
etc. It is usually not until after the sub
stance has been taken for from ten to fif
teen days that it manifests its evil in
fluence. It then appears to accumulate iD

The Useful Gorse Weed.
Gorse is a plant which grows in Eng-
Jand and f-cotland as a common weed.
i>| narrow, sharp-pointed, prickly linear
leases, and the twigs upon which they
are borne are quite nutritious and have
been long used for green fodder for
horses and cattle. The sharp, needle
like points render it necessary that the
leaves should be crushed or ground in a
sort of mill, after which they are eaten
without difficulty, and with much relish
by farm animals. Considerable attention
has been given of late in England to the
subject of cultivation of this plant for
the feeding of cattle as an accompani
ment for lmy or straw in the winter.
French farmers have grown it for many
years, sowing six pounds of seed per
acre in March, and using the crop late in
the fa’l and winter. The plant is known
as Flex Europous, or furze, whin and
gorse. It has been cultivated to some
extent in the Bouth of England, and
being easily grown upon poor land, it
has been a favorite crop with the poorer
farmers. No doubt it would be a great
acquisition in the Southern States as a
substitute for the wretched brown sedge,
and as a valuable perennial fodder lor
oxen, mules and cows, to be grown on
the frequent and unsightly old Helds.—
New York Times.
A Father’s Marvelous Feat.
In the forest of I sterel, France, a man
and woman were at work, recently, and
not far off a babe—an infant 6 months
old—was lying in its cradle, which had
been moved to the frout of their cottage
in order that the little cherub might in
hale the fresh air under the watchful
gaze of its foud parents. Suddenly a
noise was heard, and an enormous eagle,
swooping down from the cerulean sky,
sei ed the babe with beak and claws and
began to soar once more toward
the sun, when the distracted father,
lushing madly into his hut, took up a
gun. 'Without a moment's hesitation
the man pointed his weapon at the cruel
bird and tired. Ihe eagle dropped
earthward as dead as a door nail, and
its slayer now achieved another feat
which would have won him any amount
of applause at Lord’s. He held out his
hands and caught the child as it fell,
the little one escaping without so much
as a scratch, and returning from its
journey into mid-air as “bright as a
button.” — London Telegraph.
Lively Bees.
The owner of some homing pigeons at
Hamm bet that on a line day twelve of
his bees would beat a like number of
carrier pigeons in unking the distance
(one hour) between Hamm aud the town
of Rhyuern. Twelve pigeons and twelve
bees (four drones and eight working
bees, all powdered with flour) were taken
to Ilhynern, and simultaneously set free.
V white drone arrived home four seconds
in advance of the first pigeon; the re
maining three drones and the second
pigeon arrived together, and the eight
Aorkiug bees preceded the ten pigeons by
a length.
