HOW TO DESTROY THISTLES

+. II. Gordon, of Jennings Forks, Ten
nessee, writes to the Southern Homestead,
thus :--''l hpve never seen the Canada
thistle in this State and hope l never shall.
1t is perennial plant, with deeply pene-
trating and rambling roots, which are so
tenacious of life that the ingenuity of far.
mers in Europe and the Eastern States
of the Union has failed to find cheap
and easy method Of exterminating them.
They are represented as great pests to
meadows, pastures and grain fields.
"The thistles of this section is q bien-
NAL plant, being easily destroyed, I will
give method of exterminating these
tbistles which I have tested and found eff
fectual, and cost nothing. 1t consists in
learning your hogs to eat the roots of the
plant. Tramp on the buds of goodly
number of the largest plants, in the spring
season, and place on each a taaspoonful
of salt. Then turn your hogs on them.
They will eat the roots of the salted plants
first, and will thus acquire fondness for
the roots, and will continue to ca: them
daily, as long as any can be found. II
one hog be educated in this way he will
soon teach the whole hertlso cat them, and
will soon exterminate all on your farm
have not found any difficulty in keeping
my farm clear of thistles since 1 hay ad.

twenty years ago.-uther varieties of this
tie may not be so easily managed; but

SUMMER MANAGEMENT OF BEES.

During the summer weeds and all veg
citation should be kept clear from the hive;
spider webs should also be cleared away,
and the hives protected from storms
This also is the time for moths, that is, du-
ring July and August, and if the apiarian
will occasionally at evening pass around
his hives with light he may destroy a
great many millcrs that are lurking about
the hives much more successfully than du.
ring the daytime.
These millers are light gray color,
and about half an inch in length, and
rather slim-and are as spry as weasel,
it is utterly useless to attempt to catch or
pick up one with the fingers, and the only
effeetual way to despatch them is, to put
on an old mittcn; with the fat of the hand
give them sly and sudden slap; in this
way person after little practice may
succeed in destroying them with tolcrable
success. They may often be seen during
the daytime about the outside of the hive,
or in the joints, or between boards. If a
dish of sweetened vinegar and water be
placed near the hives during the night, a
good many may be destroyed by this
means, as they will be attracted to it by
its flavor and fall into it, and will not bt
able to rise again. Many suppose thai
the miller will depositc her eggs in the
joints or cracks on the outside of the hivs
but this is mistake, unless there is wax o,
proprolis to deposite them in. The egg
requires some nourishment to mature it
and instinct teaches the miller this, ant
this accounts for her anxiety to gain al
entrance into the hive where she can hav,
access to the wax and combs. The best
and most effectual protection against tn
ravages of the insect are strong stocks
and hives that afford small amount o
unoccupied room.

To PRESERVE EGGs.-lt is said that
eggs have been successful preserved by
pouring boiling water on them, to stand
about one minute till the surface next the
shell is cooked, then pouring off and pack
ing, small end downward, in bran, and
having till wanted, any time within eight
or ten months.

Compound Extract Of SarSaparil!a,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every

in " impwity of the blood" is founded in truth,

without which sound health is impossible in

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, n corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiatcd,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pcrvatles the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any pext Of is, No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous tsint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing Tiees. and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, " I
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, that scrofulous constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which. although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter Of all our people are scrofulous I;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fcction, and their health is undermined by it..
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
