ton that is, now. filed by General

THE CoRN GRUB.-The corn crop has
several formidable enemies to contend with,
and among them is the grub, which some
times literally destroys whole fields, or dam
ages the crop seriously. One of the best
and most convenient remedies perhaps tho
best ever suggested-is the application OF
salt as soon as the plant makes its appear
ancc above ground, prepared and used in
this way: Take one part common salt and
three parts plaster or gypsum, and apply
about tablespoonful around each hill. 1t
will be found to be e sure protection. The
mixture should not come in contact with
the young plants, as it may destroy them
This method has been tried over and over
again by some of the best farmers of Penn
sylyania, Delaware and Jersey, and when
properly applied has never failed to be per
fectly successful. We hope our farmers,
who have reason to fear the dcpredatious of
the grub, tho present season, will try this
mixture, leaving few alternate rows of corn
without the salt, and communicate to us the
result. Germantoirn Telegraph.

We find this spicy little sketch in the

illustrates the fact that 'tradc is little dull"
and also that that portion of the business
community known as "drummers," or CON-
mercial travellers, despite their almost mex
haustiblc resources and iHention, are often
obliged to yield to the pressure of these
stagnant times. The Bull6tin says:
"Onc of these gentleman, who has recent
ly returned from trip for Thistle, Bros. &
Co., of this city, did not show very large
exhibit of orders to balance the liberal ex-
pense account allowed him by the firm, and,

''That is my name" said Thistle, urbane-

himself of a neat speech, in professional
style.
"Vcry we'll, very WE'LL" said Thistle; 81

"Excusc me, Thistle" said Mr.. Rataplan
~ am afraid you do not understand the

"Certainly," said Thistle, and picking up
his hat stepped ont. Returning he found
Rataplan with his chair tilted bi ;k, hat
cooked fiercely over the right eye, heels

Thistle looked a little staggered, but
nevertheless, he continued

"Yes, he is" responded Rataplan blowing

knows that this is most destructive insect
among melon, cucumber and other young
vines, sometimes damaging the crop serious
ly. Many remedies have been suggested,
some of them no doubt good in their way
but troublesome. Now we have tried for
several years another which has proved with
us complete success. Instead of aiming
to drive away the insect by SCOT, ashes, &c,
we pet it, or rather furnish it with food bet
ter than the young melon and cucumber
plants. We SOW around each hill at the
time of each planting few radish seed, and
coming up about the same time, the tops

this little provision for it, the young radish
