Cabbage Insects.
The cabbage is one of the most im
portant vegetables and its insect enemies
are numerous and destructive. The fol
lowing are probably the most prevalent
and mischievous of them. Cut-worms, or
Urvse of several species of insects, are
often very troublesome when cabbage
plants are first set oat. They work at
night, atd eat through the stem of the
plants at the surface of theground. Prof.
Riley has lured these creatures to ( their
death, and it can be done every time.
The method is to bait with poisoned
leaves, laying them over the surface of
the soil about ten to fifteen feet apart,
covering the whole plat or field a lew days
before planting. The leaves to be em
ployed are those of cabbage, turnip, let
tuce or clover; a tablespoonful of .Paris
green is mixed with a pail of water and
kept well stirred. In these the leaves are
dipped and then distributed over the
ground; or the leaves can be moistened
and then dusted with Paris green mixed
with flour, io the proportion of one part
of the poison to twenty of flour. Two
snob applications, three or four days apart,
- will clear the field ot cut-worms.
The 'cabbage worm, Pieris rspse, the
oommoQ green worm that feeds on the
leaves of the growing plants, can be
easily destroyed and at little cost by the
use of bnhacb, or Persian Insect Powder,
or a particular preparation of it which is
old in the trade under the name of Insect
Exterminator. This is applied in the dry
form, blown on with a bellows adapted to
the purpose.
The cabbage fly, Antbomyia brassicse,
which deposits its eggs on the stems of
the young cabbage plants, is often very
troublesome. The maggot when hatched
oat, work into and downwards through
the stem, or groove along the bark, until
they reach the root, upon which they
feed, when the plant dies. One of the
best remedies proposed is to scatter slaked
lime, ashes, or coal dust around the tiera
of eaoh plant, leaving a few plants here
And there through the field unprotected,
io order that the flies may visit tbem and
lay their eggs. These plants the flies will
eek out and leave the others untouched.
The plants that have been visited will
aoon show the effects of the insect, and
ean then be pulled up and burned.
Tick's Magazine.
Over Reaching of Horses.
The Germantown Telegraph gives the
following remedy for this defect in horses:
A sure way for removing this unpleas
ant failing in the movements of a horse, in
a majority of cases, is to shorten the toe
of the hind shoes. By this arrangement
the horse will pick up his fore feet quicker
and his hind feet slower, thus accomplish
ing just what it is wanted. If a quarter
of a second of time is thereby gained, the
fore foot will be clear out of the way of
the hind foot, with its elongated toe. We
owned a valuable horse once subject to
over-reaching. He was taken in hand by
several experienced sboers, and every one
adopted the common erroneous methods.
Being in the stable one day, we sat down
upon a chair after examining the shoes to
devise some way to cure the animal of
this detect, and the conclusion we arrived
at led to insisting upon the shoer follow
ing our instructions. The result of it was
a complete success. Now and then a new
shoer would not be aware of this over
reaching, and would shoe io the old way,
when the over-reaching was as bad as
ever till the first shoes were removed.
We had another horse cured in the same
way, as had at that time many other per
sons. Indeed we have never known this
method to fail when properly followed.
Profit in Rearing- Horsed.
Horses have always been the most
profitable farm stock. The increase in
railroads instead ot reducing the demand
for horse labor has always increased it,
and as the traffic of peace and the exigen
cies and wastes of war increase the de
mand for horses keeps pace with them or
runs ahead of them. It is so just now.
The threatening condition of European
politics has led to a large demand for
horses in America, and the value of horse
stock has risen considerably during the
last three or four months and promises to
rise still further. Farmers should take
-advantage of this favorable opportunity
for increasing their slock of horses. As
compared with beef cattle the profits are
fourfold. A 3-year-old steer weighing
1200 costs as much as a 3-year-old colt.
The one is worth $30, the other is worth
from $100 to $150 as it may be bred and
reared. It costs but a trifle more to breed
and rear a colt worth $150 than one
worth $100, hence it is advisable to secure
the service of the best sire that can be
procured. This is a timely consideration
just now as the season is coming on, and
while thinking over it let us add one more
remark, viz: that while a good sire is de
sirable a sound dam free from faults and
blemishes is equally so; for disease, un
soundness and even blemishes are in
herited and will almost certainly reappear
in the colt.
Gapes in Chickens.
In a recent conversation with an ex
perienced chicken raiser he informed us
that he had been very successful in con
quering that precarious disease in his
young fowls by the application of air
slacked lime. As soon as a manifestation
of gapes in his fowls appear, he confines
his chickens in a box, one at a time, suffi
ciently large to contain the bird, and
places a coarse piece of cotton or linen
cloth over the top. Upon this he places
the pulverized lime, and taps the screen
sufficiently to cause the lime to tall
through. This lime dust the fowl inhales,
and is made to sneeze, and in a short time
the cause of the gapes is thrown out in
the form of a slimy mass or masses of
worms, which had accumulated in the
windpipe and smaller air vessels. This
remedy he considers superior to any
remedy be ever tried, and he seldom fails
to effect a perfect cure. lie has abjured
all those mechanical means by which it fa
attempted to dislodge the entozoa with
instruments made of whalebone, hog's
bristle, horso hair, or fine wire, alleging
that people are quite as certain to push
the gape worms farther down the throat
of the fowls as to draw them up. Poultry
Nation.
t2T An Ohio farmer says that last
year he raised 300,000 cabbages and kept
the flea beetles away at a cost of a single
dollar. His method is to pour a gallon of
spirits of turpentine into a barrel of land
plaster, and when the plaster is dampened
all through, as it will be in a few days,
spread it broadcast over the field.. Ii is
better than lime or ashes, and may be
applied when the plants are wet with
Sain or dew.
Pruning in June.
We have tried pruning in almost all
months of the year, and on the whole pre
fer Jane. This being about the busiest
month of the year, there is usually little
lime for pruning, and so the favorite time
is early in spring, and many of our old
orchards, in their rotting Hmb9 and de
na rui trnnlra hear testimony to the mis
chief wrought by the ill-timed use of the
saw and axe. smau iimos, an iucu iu
t;tmat.ir hr less, can be taken off at any
time with comparative safety. But the
i a r i
thorough pruning cauea ior ioug
neglected orchard is best done in the early
summer. The sap is absorbed by the
fnrmntinn of wood leaves : the wood
laid bear in pruning large limbs soon be
comes seared, tne Dealing process arouuu
the edges of the wound begins im
mediately, and in a few years the wound
will be completely covered with new
wood and bark. There is no chance for
decay as when large limbs removed in the
urln anrinr There is far too little orun-
ingjdone in the farm orchard. A dead
limb should not be suffered upon tne lruit
tron ftnnd nrunincr leaves no stubs, but
cuts close to the trunk or branch bearing

turist. Cure for Hog Cholera.
A correspondent gives the Richmond
Dispatch the following simple remedy
which he says will cure hog cholera:
To one pint of kerosene put half pint of
spirits of turpentine and two ounces of
gum camphor. Shake ibis up together
until ihe camphor is dissolved. Then
pour the mixture over your shattered
oorn, stirring it up so that some will get
on all of it, then throw out to the hogs.
I found my hogs would eat this in prefer
ence to corn without it, and I have never
had a single case since I commenced this
remedy. I had several sick bogs with
cholera when I commenced giving them
the above, and all but one recovered in
less than a week. I had a very fine sow
sick at the time and gave her a dose by
making it into a ball of dough and shov
ing it down her throat, she being too sick
to eat. ; The next morning I gave my 6on
a ball of this dough and told bim to take
one of the bands and go down to where I
had left her the evening before, and if she
was alive io put it down her throa. He
.soon came back and said :
"Pa, if you want me to catch that old
sow I'll want more help than you gave
me; she is as wild as a buck." in a few
moments she came up in a trot and com
menced feeding with the other hog.
I have.great faith in this simple remedy
and advise my brother farmers to try it.
It costs but a trifle.
t3? A correspondent ol the Ohio
Farmer states that he kept a plum tree
from curculios by sprinkling the ground
under the tree with corn meal. This in
duced the chickens to scratch and starch.
The meal was strewn every morning from
the time the trees blossomed nntil the
fruit was large enough to be out of dan
ger. The consequence was that the fowls
picked up the curculios with the meal,
and the tree being saved from the pres
ence of the insects was wonderfully
fruitful.
Idtf Producing good crops goes far to
ward making a successful farmer, but
there are other qualifications required
beside that of being able to produce good
cropB. The successful farmer must be a
good business man, as well as a good
grower of crops. He must know how to
market a crop after he has raised it.

Or rilack Leprosy. Is a disease which Is considered
incurable, but it has yielded to the curative proper
tips of kwirT"s Si'rciric now know n all over the
world as S. S R. Mrs. Bailey, of Vct Somerrilte,
II ass., nciir Boston, was attacked several year ago
with this hirieou black eruption, and was treated by
the best medical talent, who ccu'.U only say that tlx
disease wad a species of ...
-LEPROSY-
and consequently incurable. It is impossible to de
scribe her sufferings. Her body from the crown ol
her bead to t ho soles of her feet was a mass of decay,
masses of flesh rotting oil and leavmsr great cavities.
Her finders festered and three or four nails dropped
aff at one tune. Her limbs contracted by the fearful
ulceration, and for several years ehe did not leave
her bed. Her weight was reduced from 125 to 60 lbs.
. Perhaps some faint ides of her condition can bt
Cleaned from the fact that three pounds of Cosmo
line or ointment were used per week in dressing her
sores. F-ully the physicians acknowledged theit
defeat by this Black Wolf, and commended the suf
ferer to her all-wice Creator.
Her husband hearing wonderful reports of the ns
. of Swift's Specific (S. 8. S.), prevailed on her to
try it as a last resort. She began its use nndcr pro
test, but soon found that her system was being re
lieved of t'.ie poison, as the sores assumed a redand
healthy color, as though the blood, was becoming
pure and active. Mrs. Bailey continued the S. S. S.
nntil last February; every sore was healed; eho dis
carded chair and crutches, and was for the first time
in twelve years a well woman. Her husband, Mr.
C. A. Bailey, is in bn siness at 17 Blackstone Street,
Boston, and will tcke pleasure in giving the detaili
of this wonderful cure. Send to ns for Treatise or.

A Creaking Hinge
Is dry and turns hard, until oil is applied,
after which it mores easily. When the
joints, or hinges, of the body are stiffened
and inflamed by Rheumatism, they can
not be moved without causing the most
excruciating pains. Ayer's Sarsnparilla,
by its action on the blood, relieves this
condition, and restores the joints to good
working order.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla has effected, in our
city, many most remarkable cures, a num
ber of which baffled the efforts of the
most experienced physicians. Were it
necessary, I could give'the names of many
individuals who have been cured by taking
this medicine. In my own case it "has cer
tainly worked wonders, relieving me of
Rheumatism,
a.rtcr being troubled with it for years. In
this, and all other diseases arising from
impure blood, there is no remedy with
which I am acquainted, that affords such
relief as Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It. II.
Lawrence, M. D., Baltimore, Md.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla cured me of Gout
and Rheumatism, when nothing else
would. It has eradicated everv trace of
disease from my system. R. "II. Short,
Manager Hotel Belmont, Lowell, Mass.
I was, during many months, a sufferer
from chronic Rheumatism. The disease
afflicted me grievously, in spite of all the
remedies I could find, until I commenced
using Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I took several
bottles of this preparation, and was speed
ily restored to health. J. Frcam, Inde
