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. “Dan - Rice, the old showman, own* 850,000 acres of land in Texas and Netf Mexico. SCIENTIFIC AM) INDUSTRIAL. A priie of $l2O is offered for the best Work on electro-magnet s , by the Italian Electrical Society. An interesting ancient canoe, hol lowed out by means of red-hot stone 5 , has been found in South Central Nor way.

They attract lightning which would never have thought of striking but for them. On the I ehigh Valley Railroad, at Glen Onoko, I enn., there is a switch connection consisting of a pas pipe which extends 1255 feet from the point where it is operated. All the Jilejsasdng-statis-Bo on the At lantic Coast of Long Island are to be connected with each other by telephone, and those' isolated from the main laud are to be connected by telephone or. telegraph with the nearest village. Portable electric lights, arranged to hang on a button of one’s co it, and with a parabolic retie. tor to concentrate the light, with storage batteries weigh ing 1 j pounds each, are made to enable persons to read in railroad cars by night. A novel means of destroying caterpil lars and other animated pests of trees and shrubbery is the juice of the leaves and stems of tomato plants. Boil the leaves and stems of the tomato until the juice has been extracted and pour this upon the affiicted shrubs and trees. 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. The average watch is composed of 175 d ffereut pieces, comprising upwards of 2401 separate and distinct operations in its manufacture.

They call it pau-ln-papier, or paper powder, and it is said that a charge of 2£ grammes (34 grains) gives, 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 system. Coal has been reeommeuded as an earth connection for lightning rods, but Mr. J. E. Smith has ascerta ned by actual test with galvanometer that much depends upon the kind of coal that is Out of eight or ten pieces of bituminous coal only one was found to be a fair conductor. Anthracite coal proved to be of no value as a conductor; but coke, especially the grayish kind, such as is made iu coking ovens, was found to be an excellent conductor. Charoal, on the whoie, was found to be lacking in conductivity, although some specimens proved to be fair con ductors. 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. England Scared. At Spezzia, Italy, the whole Italian fleet (the finest in the world for its size), is to assemble for a two months’ exercise.
