with every family while the united testimony of
Physicians has placed their healthfulness beyond

ANOTHER PLuM ENEMY.-We know
81 othing ..about technology, and therefore
can state, only, that few days ago we
found the bark ola plum tree, four feet
from the ground diseased, and began scra-
ping at 1t with "a knife to discover the
cause. For about fifteen inches we found
under theIbarkG layer of worm, dust sew
en.eighths of an inch in thickness, and
underathat several narrow, perpendicular
openings made'by the insect into the trunk.
Next day the beetle showed his head in
one ofthem, and was secured To us it
is unfamiliar. 1t is about fvc-eighths of
an inch in length, very fiat and thin, cor
responding exactly to the apertures in the
tree; back deep bottle green, belly and
wings a bright copper color. What do

FALL TURNlPS.

The chiefpoints 10 be observed arc these:
The ground should be deeply plowed and
made perfectly light--a sandy lean is
better adapted to the growth of the turnip.
1t should be made quite rich, and for the
main fall crop should be seeded not later
than the first week. in August--perhaps a
week earlier would be better still--at all
events the soil should be frable and rich
If the drill SYSTEM is used, and it is by far
the best, the drills should be laid off about
two feet or two and half feet apart, the
best barn yard or stable manure deposited
in the burrows, which should then be COW
cred as potatoes are covered by two bouts
Of the plcw- The crests of the ridges
should then be fattened and the seed drilled
along the centre of the fattened ridge
Where manure is deficient an excellent
substitute will be found in Manipulated
Guano, because the latter contains more
phosphates than the pure Peruvian. In
broadcast seeding the manure or guano
should be plowed under, or in the absence
of either bone dust finely ground may be
used. The after culture consists in keep
ing the ground light and loose, and in
cleaning it of all weeds either by the hand
or with the hoe. The turnips should be
thined out to not less than eight inche s
apart, whether in the drills or broadcast.

BUcKwHEAT AS AN EXTERMINAToR.- -
Buckwbeat, when sown on rich ground,
will kill grass effectually. 1t must be sown
as soon as the ground is ploughed. In
such case, few crops will even extcrminate
Quack. Ruckwheat seems to be poison to
other plants; and it is even known to de-
strOy insects. 1t does this probably by
by destroying the roots of the grasses aud
herbs on which the insect feed. No insect
touches buckwheat in the ground.

HAavEsrING.-The chef point to be
remembered in harvesting grain is that it
should be cut before it becomes fully ripe,
or in other words, just as soon as the berry
has passed from the milky state into that
resembling tough dough when pressed be-
tween the fnge.s. All grasses, in which
of course We include clover, should also be
cut when the flowers are partially faded,
and before the seed forms, as the exhaus-
ton Of the soil will be lessened thereby,
whilst tho quality of the hay will be i'm.
