Great Yield of Cucumbers.

Daniel Morse, of Lockport, N. Y.
writes to the Southern Farmer as follows Il
For the benefit Of your readers, I give
you the production of eight hills of cucum-
bers, planted in my garden last spring.
The manner Of planting was taken from
one of the agricultural journals.
Having fully prepared good garden
soil by repeated spadings, placed barrels
at distance each way of eight feet, and
about six inches in the ground. The bar
rels were then filed with barnyard manure,
and seeds previously soaked for 81 hours
planted around, and about four inches
from the barrels. After the plants made
their appearance, and when there had been
no rain during the day, two pals of water
were put on the manure in each barrel
every night, which found its way through
holes bored in the lower head. About
four plants were left to each of the eight
barrels The end of each vine was pinched
off just before frui;ing. Now for the re-
suit and number of each picking.

How to Prevent Weevil.

We are informed by Mr. Chamberlain,
of the City Mill, that the farmers of Ver-
mont are in the habit Of heading the move
ments of the wecvil, by a simple process.
The next season after it makes its appear
anee, they 20 through their wheat fields,
about the time the wheat is heading, i'm
mediately after shower or while the dew
is on it, aud scatter newly Stacked lime
broad cast, SO that it will adhere to tho
heads and stems of the grain. They use
about bushel to the acre. Good lime
should be secured, and Stacked by sprink-
ling q little water over it so as to retain
all its strength. A paddle may be used
in scattering it. The remedy has, it is
said, been so efectually tried, as to leave
no doubt of the result Strips in largo
wheat fields left untouched by the liue,
for experiment, have been entirely des-
troyed by the wcevil, while the grain on
each side was all saved.
Since this intelligence was received, Mr..
Jesse Allen, of the Centre Mill, has re-
ceived corroborating information from a
Muskingum county farmer, vino had seen
the same practice and the same results
there.-Akron Beacon.

Usage Orange Trees.

[H. p. Byram, Of the Louisville Jour
nal, writes to that paper from Dayton,
Ohio, under date Of September 9, 1854 i
In the vicinity of this city l saw some
Of the most perfect specimens of the Osago
Orange that | have ever before met with
moro perfect, indeed, than l supposed
nature could produce, even with all tho
aid that art and industry could lend her.
The plants seemed to withstand the blight
ing effects of this unusually dry season,
better than any other species vegetation
The leaves still present the most glossy
green that characterizes this plant in our
most favorable seasons.
From somewhat extensive acquain-
tance with the character Of the Usage
Orange plant, | have often pronounced it
the hedge plant Of America, but had no
idea of the degree of perfection to which
| find it susceptible of being trained in tho
hedge. The Oldest of the hedges here
now is about four years. 1t is four feet
high, and three feet broad a. the base, and
as dense, compact and uniform from the
ground to the top, as if it had been moul-
ded by hand from some plastic material.
My attendant remarked that it was " so
close at the bottom that snake could not
find its way through it." There were
several other specimens in the same vicin-
ity, from one to two years old, all present.

The great and only secret in producing
this living American prairie fence is, clean

poring shearing, from the period of set
ting the plants to the end of four years.

A Test of Christianity,

A Christian gentleman had occasion to
travel through new and thinly settled
part of the Western country; his compan-
ion was man of intelligence but Of inf
del principles, who was fond Of discussion
and tried to beguile the way by urging
arguments against the truths Of the Chris
tian religion. The thinly psopled section
of the country through which they were
passing was inhabited by people of bad
reputation, and it had been rumored that
travellers had suffered fatal violence from
them when they were withiE their power
As taverns were unknown, our travellers
were compelled to trust to the hospitality
Of those Of whom they could not but en-
tertain q serious fear On one occasion as
the evening closed in, they sought lodg-
ing place in a log cabin, far remote from
other habitations. They anticipated but
little comfort, and we're induced to believe
that it would be measure of safety to
watch alternately through the night.
As they were about to retire to their
bed, their host, whose exterior had excited
their distrust, proceeded to a shelf, took
down an old and much worn Bible, and
informing his visitors that it was his Gus
tom to worship God in his family, he read
and prayed in SO simple a manner as to
secure the esteem of the travellers. They
retired to rest, slept soundly, and thought
no more of alternate watching.
In the morning the Christian requested
his infdel companion to say whether the
religious exercises of the preceding eve
ming had not dispelled every particle of
distrust of their hosts character, and had
not enabled him to close his eyes in the
most confident security.
He was evidently embarrassed by the
question; but at last he candidly acknowl-
edged that the sight of the Bible had se-
cured him sound nights rest. Here was
a testimony extorted from an inidel, in
favor of the influence of the religion
which he skeptically assailed.
He could not harbor fear of violence
from one who was in the habit Of daily
bending his knee before God. The very
creation Of the family altar rendered tho
house secure asylum. Who would not
be Christian ? Who can be an Infdel

To DESTROY Red Ants.

A correspondent of the Southern Guilt
vator contributes the following method Tor
destroying the above named insect
Procure large sponge, wash it well :;
press it very dry by so doing it will
leave the small cells opon-lay it on the
shelf where they are most troublesome,
sprinkle some fine white sugar on the
sponge (lightly over iD; two or three
times a day, take bucket of hot water
to where the sponge is, carefully drop the
sponge in the scalding water, and you will
slay them by the thousands, and soon rid
the house Of these troublesome insects.
When you squeeze the sponge, you will

Old Hickory on Prohibition.

The opponents Of the Prohibitory Law
should remember that, in 1884, General
Andrew Jackson "took the responsibility"
of signing an act of Congress, by which
"any person was authorized "to take
and destroy any spirituous liquors or wines
they may find in the Indian Territory
and not only did the dealer lose his liquors,
but (if trader he forfeited all his "goods,
boats, packages or peltries," and was fined
from three to five hundred dollars-and
any superintendent of Indian affairs, Indian
agent, or commandant of military affairs,
who had "reason to suspect" or was /" in
formed" that any person was "about to
introduce" such liquors, was authorised
without warrant) to search for and seize
the same.
If the law was good for an half-civilizcd
country, is it not also good for civilized
country? If nothing but prohibition will
check drunkenness among Indians, why not
try it on the whites also?

NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE.-To procure
the early transmission of foreign steamers
news, the associated press" have an
agent for the arrival Of New York stea-
mers at the Sandy Hook. lighthouse. He
has fifty carrier pigeons which are trained
for the purpose of conveying news from
the steamships to the shore. A man in
an open boat, in all kinds Of weather,
drops alongside of the steamer as she bears
directly upon Sandy Hook. The news is
thrown over in water-tight can, and the
news being taken out, a single sheet is
affixed to birds leg. The man gives the
signal to the bird, which raises his wings
and away he goes, with all his powers of
locomotion,i in straight line for the office,
going a distance of three or four miles in
as many minutes; and popping in at the
window, is received by the agent, who
transmits the intelligence over the wires
to New York, Boston and Philadelphia,
and thence to St. Louis, New Orleans, and
all parts of the country, SO that the news
is frequently received over large part of
the United States, and published before
the steamer leaves the quarantine.
