TIE WHEAT MIDGE.-At lecture upon
Agriculture, at Yale, DR.. FITCH gave the fol-
lowing history of the wheat nudge;
The wheat nudge has been long known in
England, and was imported thence. 1t was
there originally thought to be sort of mil
dew, but in 177l its true nature was discov-
cred and in 1877 Mr.. Kirby, searching for
the Hessian fly, found and traced out the
habits of this insect. 1t was first noticed in
our country in Northern Vermont in 1920,
but did no great injury there until nine years
later, when it also began to extend itself
over the Northern States, throughout Canada
and as far west as Indiana. There is a par.
asitic insect, the ichneumon-ay, which in Eu-
rope checks the spread of the nudge, but has
not yet been brought over here There are
two ways in which the wheat midge may be
destroyed in large numbers viz; l. BY kill
ing the fly itself; and 2, by destroying it
when but yet a4arva. If invested wheat
fields ate swept over for several successive
evenings with proper net, myriads may be
caught, and a good part of the wheat crop be
saved. The larvae deposited in the kernels
of grain are carried to the barn and resown
in Spring to fulfill their pemicious mission.
Now if district is greatly Infected the fields
should be plowed very deeply in Spring,
burying crop worms and all so as to prevent
the temperance of the insects; and espec-
tally careful should farmers be to destroy the
screenings from their threshing- machine and
fanning-mll, or, at any rate, feed them to
chicken, that the millions Of larvae of the
nudge contained in the heap may not be re-
stored TO the fields. They have wonderful
tenacity of life, these little ra calls DR..
Fitch has tried to drown them by keeping
them three months under water, but to no
avail.
The audience being invited to ask questions
on the subject OF the lecture availed them
selves of tho permission. DR.. Fitch in an
swer to sundry queries, said that neither sow.
ing lime on wheat when the dew was on, nor
sowing salt, nor using sulphur or salt in the
Granery, nor tobacco water sprinkled on the
field were specifics. If New York loses ff.
teen millions Of dollars year from the wheat
nudge, why wouldn't it be good investme nt
to send Dr. Fitch to Europe to procure the
great foe of the nudge, the ichneumon fly
This latter insyc ct sweeps the other from the
very face of the earth and half bushel Of
its eggs Matched on DR.. Fitch's place would
be worth it, weight in diamonds "of purcst

At meeting OF the Mass. Legislative Ag-
ricultural Society the following interesting
subjects were discussed:
Mr.. Demond, of Ware, asked what the
best mode of pruning fruit trees was, as also
the season to do it and the best wash for
young trees also saying that in his part Of
the State they were in the habit of getting
another crop from their orchards, and he
wished to know what was considered the
best crop.
Col. Stone said he trimmed his trees about
the last of June, as by that time the sap had
got into the leaves, and the cutting will not
do injury by allowing the rising sap to run
out and prevent healing. Inrelation to wash,
the gentleman said he discarded potash alto.
gether, as it never was intended to be applied
to fruit trees. He used one-third soft soap,
year or more old, and two. thirds water, and
washed twice year. OF this a sufficient
quantity remains on the bark for the alkali
to run down by the action Of the rain, and
thus keep off the borer. Abiding to under
CrOpSj NIL OJUuo bdlu tudU IOE bu6 uFSG o or
10 years he thought blowing would not hurt
the trees, and he would recommend tle rails
ing Of root crops so as to keep the ground
free of weeds.
A gentleman asked what should be done
to prevent SO many of our apples becoming
SO wormy, as he understood that three-fourths
of the crop in Worcester county had been
spoiled the past season by this trouble.
COL Wilder said that the best way to pre-
vent this was to prohibit the destruction of
birds, and he spoke of correspondent in
Belgium informing him that their fruit was
nearly ruined in consequence Of the destruc-
ton of birds for epicures. He said he was
informed that apples sold there, in conse-
quence Of this, for SO per sack, or Sc per
bushel, and this in the finest growing
country on the continent.

How TO BUILD A MILK-RooM. Sons
three years since it became necessary to
build IL new dairy room. And in order to
have it handy and right, it must be next to
our coOk,room, There being a rise of
ground and an orchard Of apple trees where
it was destined to be, there was not room
enough to set level with the rest of the build.
ings, therefore it was decided to set it three
and half feet higher than the cook-room.-
1t is divided into two rooms-one for sum-
mer milk.room with blinds, ventiator and
milkracks to set the pans upon, which gives
a circulation of air around the pans. And
plenty of cool air is what We want to make
the cream rise well
The room next to the cook.room is the
winter milk-room. We neither scald tho
milk, nor put in carrots to make yellow but
ter, but simply strain the milk and set in on
the milk rack. The room being higher, the
heat rises, and the temperature is just right
to give a beautiful yellow cream that is
what makes yellow butter. Churn the cream
in the thermometer churn made by Nourse,
Mason & Co., Boston and Worcester, and
you will have butter worth as much as Mr..

Have you Rhubarb or Pie Plant. !

There is q great lack in the Spring. of
good vegetables and fruits for the table
BeetS, turnips, potatoes, cabbages, and an.
PIES if not entirely used up, get old aud will.
ted, and lose nearly all their freshness The
stomach longs, bankers is just the word
here,) for something new and green. What
can be got9 Something. Perhaps few
parsneps or vegetable oysters were left in the
garden over the Winter. IF so, make tri.
al OF them. They are fine appetizer. To
most palates, they are sweeter and tenderer
than those wintered in sand in the collar.
But it these do not suffice, try the Rhu-
barb or Pie Plant This Is not as old.fash-
Toned vegetable as asparagus. Twenty
years ago, hardly dollars worth could be
found in our markets now, many thousand
dollars worth are annually sold. 1t is good
for pies, tarts, jclles, and is preserved in air
tight jars for use in Winter.
CULTURE.-The simplest but not the quick.
est method is to raise it from seed, which
can be bought at any seed-store. Early in
Spring, prepare a patch Of light, rich soil,
sow in drills an inch deep, and a foot apart.
The plants will be up in about month";
During the Summer, keep down the weeds,
stir the soil often, and water if necessary
A few radshes sown between the rows, will
be out Of the way before the rhubarb has
made much growth. The plants should be
thinned out until they stand about one foot
apart In the Fall, prepare permanent beds
for them. Choose moderately moist land,
yet not stiff and cold. Give a deep over
turning, working 10 at the same time lot
of old manure. Set the plants three Or four
feet asunder, to allow for extension of leaves
and roots. The crowns should be set three
inches below the surface, then cover with sew
eral inches of old leaves or strawy manure,
for the Winter
This plant is native of Tartary, and is as
hardy as burdock, and will bear hard usage,
yet none responds better to good treatment.
10 get the best returns from it, keep the
soil light and clean around the plants through
the Summer, and cover them with several
inches OF leaves, or muck, or manure, for the
Winter. This will give them strong and
early start in the Spring. Some gardeners
scatter gypsum on the leaves when they are
wet with dew, to give them new inn pulse.
The manure is to be worked in around the
plants every Spring. For several years, the
writer managed his plants thus, and though
they were only the commonest sorts picked
up at neighboriug nursery, our visitors uni
tormly lifted up their hands in establishment
at our mammoth-leaved plants, exclaiming
What new variety is this In answer, we
pointed to the manure-heap.
For those who do not wish to raise rhu.
barb from seed, it can be propagatod by d.
visions OF the roots obtained from dealers,
making plant from every eye. Wherever
the improved varieties, such as the Linn@us,
can be purchased, it is better to do so, than
to attempt to raise plants from seed, for you
not only save time, but are more certain Of
having good kind.

GRAND Crops OF WHEAT.-Mr. Lyman
Houghton, Of Cabot, raised "a bushels Of
nice wheat upon one acre the past season,
which will compare with any western wheat.
He used western seed, and is entirely satisfied
from this and previous experiments, that
western wheat can be proftaby produced
here.-Mr. Richard Kimbal, of the same
place, also raised good crop of excellent
wheat, aud agrees with Mr.. HOughton, that
it is decidedly the most profitable crop Of the
season.
