AN INFALLIBLE CURE FOR WORMS IN

raw boned, low -feshcd horse and tried to

70 KEEP INSECTS From Plum TREES

TO KEEP INSECTS From PLUM TREES.
1t is recommended, as remedy for the
ravagcs of the curculio, to grow plum trees
with the branches over a stream Of water.
The curculio do not sting those plums which
would fall in the water if separated from
thu limb. 1t is claimed by some that the
cunning insect is aware of the fact that the
plum would fall in the water, and there
fore their eggs, if depo sited in it, would be

PLANT PEAS DEEP.-The theory re-
Gently advocated of planting peas very
deeply in the earth, in order to prolong the
bearing capacity ofthe vines, has also been
well tested in Williamstown, and found to
be correct. A farmer told me that he
ploughed furrow beam deep; then scat
tered the seed peas at the bottom after
which he turned deep furrow upon them
with his plough, covering them, if possible,
to the depth of twelve or fourteen inches.
They pushed their way up through the
thick mass of earth very soon, and instead
of turning yellow at the bottom and dying
after the first gathering, they blossomed
and bore until he was tired of picking the
pods. If such result will uniformly, be
realized from the plan, pea-culture may be
made more profitable than hitherto.

How MANY HoRsEs.-According to
the new American Cyclopedia, the number
of horses in the world is estimated at fifty
seven millions, (57 ago ,OoO,) or one horse
for every twenty-one inhabitants, young
and old. In Europe there is one horse for
every eleven persons. Denmark has forty
five horses to every one hundred inhabi-
sants, or nearly horse for each two per-
sons. The United States are put down as
having 5000, 900; France, 100000 ;
Russia, $500, 900; Great Britain, inclu-
ding Ireland, $500, 900; Austria, not in

in cities, would 6nd this mode invaluable
The pot-plants are entirely under control,

crops from plants in pots, with no trouble

The plants are kept starving under glass

HoRsE RADIsn.-Growing horse-radish
is generally considered matter of very
little consequence, in regard to the manner
of cultivation; and the result Is, in most
cases, small roots which are inferior in fla
vor are raised.
1t is very easy to grow this plant with
roots as large as mans wrist. Select
rich, warm piece of ground, fully exposed
to the rays of the sun, and early in the
s eason dig it deep mark it or for rows
three feet apart, and haul the earth out OF
> he rows, so as to receive heaN" manur-
ing; then cover the manure with the dirt
taken from the rows, and ret tlh' roots
about eight inches apart, and keep them
free Of weeds. as you would every on her
crop, and she result will be growth OF
horse radish that is worth growing.

HINTS ON POOR FARMING.

lst. Invest all your capital in land, and
run in debt for more
I'd. Hire money to stock your farm.
Sd. Have no faith in your own business,
and be always ready to sell out.
4th. Buy mean cows, spawned horses,
poor oxen, and cheap tools.
9th. Feed bog hay and mouldy corn sto
Yer exclusively, in order to keep your stock
tame. Fiery cattle are terrible hard on
old, rickety wagons and plows.
9th. Use the oil of walnut freely when
ever your oxen need strength. It's cheap
er than hay or meal, keeps the hair lively,
and pounds out all the grubs.
eth, Select such calves for stock as the
butcher shuns beauties of runts, thin in
the hams, and pot-bellied, but be sure and
keep their blood thin with scanty herbage.
Animals are safest to breed from, that
haven't strength to herd
sth Be cautious in the manufacture of
manures. 1t makes the fields look black
and mournful about planting time; besides
it is great deal of work to haul it.
9th. Never waste time in setting out
fruit and shade trees. Fruit and leaves
rotting around place make it unhealthy.
The road to poor farming, though large
ly travelled, is not well understood, and
these landmarks are thrown up for the
common eGt.-Spri"gfeM Republican.
