I From the western RuraIist !

@a Our valued correspondent, Ken
lucky Farmer" inquiries whether. or
chard grass sown IN the Fall will do
we'll. Also, what is the proper time
for sowing In answer we state that
we have had a good deal of expert
ence in the cultivation of orchard
grass, and are Of the opinion that Fall
sowing does very well provided the
operation is perforned in time to give
the young plants the benefit of the
genial Fall rains. The delicate fibres
By which the young plants are fed lie
very near the surface, and both au
tumn and Spring sowing is liable to
injury. In autumn sowing, if the
plants be not stout enough to form a
sod and prevent the swelling and sink
ing of the surface by frosts. the plants
will be thrown out during Winter and
perish as soon as the heat of the sun
begins to be felt again In Spring. if,
the sowing is delayed too long. so
that the surface stratum in which the
ibres of the young plants lie has been
robbed of moisture by the evaporatiye
force OF intense heat, the plants will
be parehed to DEATH For Fall sow
ing wef would prefer August. and
March or April for Spring sowing.

commenced cutting early, and of
course we had hay eutinz all its lvarl-

most of the seed fell, and it was raked
up and put in the stack as fast as it

AGRICULTURAL.
Insects Hurfful to the Rose.


Rose culturists are frequently dis
appointed in the. result. of their Ia
bors,p by seeing the foliage and flowers
of their, favorite plants. eaten by in
sects which appear to battle all at
tempts to destroy them, One of the
most destructive insects, the rose
slug, is the larva of saw-fy (Se-
landrio rosa, which so closely resem-
.bles the slug-worm saw-f1y as not to
be easily distinguished from it. These
saw-hies come out of the ground at
various times between the 10th of
May and the middle of June, and i'm
mediately pair and lay their eggs, by
thrusting their saws obliqueIy into
the skin of the leaf and depositing an
egg In each incision. -sr- =
When the young slugs are produced
from the eggs, they eat the upper sur
face of the leaf In irregular patches,
leaving the veins and skin skeleton
lied. They cast their skins several
times, and finally drop to the ground,
and burrow into the soil to the depth
of an inch or more, forming little
oval cells, cemented with little
gummy silk. Having performed their
transformation and become perfect
flies. they emerge from the ground
early in August and lay their eggs
for second brood. These enter the
ground late in the Fall, and remain
in their cells until the ensuing Spring
or Summer. alid diItt" s ),
After numerous experiments with
various mixtures, solution of whale
oil soap, in the proportion of two
pounds of soap to fifteen gallons of
water. has been found the most certain
remedy, not only for the rose slug, put
also for plant lice, red spiders, canker
worms, vine -fretters and other pests
of the garden. .of il..'e.I s.ss
A common sprinkler will answer
for applying this mixture to the upper
side of the leaf, but in order to reach
the under side garden syringe will
be necessary. This mixture does no
damage to the leaves, and on this ac-
count is preferable to all others that
are recommended for similar pur-
pose.-- Western Rural.
STRAW AS FooD.-Be careful of
the straw. 1t is not very long since
straw was regarded as worthless upon
half the farmsssiu the country. Of
late years a different opinion has pre-
vailed, and it is now generally recog-
nized as an important assistant in the
gwintering of stock. Mr.. Horsfall, a
great authority on agricultural mat
tiers, says: - [ am satisfied that the
most economical use of food rich in
albuminous matter is to feed it with
straw or other materials which are
deficient in this element" Mr.. Me-
chi, another great authority, says: II
have long since adopted straw as TODD,
and should consider myself foolishly
Improbable to waste it uselessly 10
Rural Wor. d says: "Straw, when
early cut and properly cured. not
dried, has somewhat the quality of
clover. But, oh, how neglectful are
we about the curing of straw, when it
is one of the finest employments
There is fragrance about such straw,
and pale green tint, which makes il
valuable and most pleasant fodder
Straw may be fed with advantage to
all kinds of stock. 1t is excellent to
mix with meal or feed with carrots,
beets or turnips. If straw was prop
erly economical, hay would be much
cheaper.

= USEFULNESS OF ToADs IN GARDENS.
? AT recent meeting of the Brooklyn
Horticultural Society, the subject of
toads in gardens was under discussion,
when Mr.. Burgess. an " old country
.-nHi''0c- of long experience, stated
tnar thirty years observation had CON
vinced him that it was the snail, and not
the toad, which devoured strawber-
ries and their vines" Most people at
tributed the destruction. to toads, but
he was certain that they were harm
less. In gardens he considered them
of great use. and all gardeners should
look upon them as their best friends.
Mr.. Fuller endorsed all that had been
said upon the subject, and he was glad
to hear it. He believed the toad a
most valuable auxiliary to the gar
dener. They were worth five dollars
apiece, as they keep the ground clear
of insects entirely. Besides, they can
be domesticated This was not gem
orally known; nevertheless it was
true Those in his garden knew him,
and would follow him in order to get
the insects, caterpillars,. etc. Their
preservation ought TO be attended to.
Mr.. Burgess was of the opinion that
there should be a fine for killing them.

There is project on foot in financial cir

Bank in that city, with branches in all the
commercial cities in the world. The bank
proposed is to have a capital Of one hun
bred millions sterling. 1t will be bank
of discount and a bank of deposit Its
sight drafts or checks on its branches
in New York, in San Francisco, Aus
tralia, China, st. Petersburg, Amster-
dam, Antwerp, and Paris, will duplicate
the currency of the world. The branches
will also issue checks on the mother bank,
and all will pass through the universal
clearing house in London. This is an out
line of the proposed institution
The friends of the contemplated bank
claim that it will be both an accommoGa-
ton and an economy to the business com
munity. They argue in illustration that
an English merchant starting for some
remote country to purchase goods, makes
his deposit in London, and takes a check
payable to his own order on the branch To-
Gated in the distant city to which he is
bound. If he loosea the check, or is robbed
of it, before endorsing it, he su7tains no
loss, and on presenting il for payment SUI

THE WILD AND REVOLUTIONARY
SCHEMES OF THE RADICALS.

Our telegraphic dispatches this morn
ing state that Mr. Thad. Stevens will on
Monday offer a resolution in the House Of
Representatives instructing the Judi
ciary Committee to prepare a bill, if
found expedient declaring the Rebel dis
tricts in a state Of seige, suspending the
writ Of habeas corpus, and establishing
military governments until the States are
regularly admitted" Under ordinary
circumstances such a proposition would
be treated with the contempt which
would satisfy the author of the estima-
ton in which he is held, but unfortunate.
" the present Congress is not composed
of such material 1t may not adopt Mr.
Stevens resolution, if it shall be offered,
and If adopted the committee may not
find Il expedient to report such q
bill as is indicated, but the fact that the
leader Of she majority in the House of
Representatives entertains an idea of in
Producing such a proposition shows how
sadly our statesmen have been de
moraHzed, and how dangerous it is to
entrust the destinics Of great nation to
such men. Lock at the facts connected
with this matter. The war wasdeclaredby

by the Executive Department peace was

the authority of the government was

Southern States IN a state of seige, when
there has not been a single act Of rebel
lion on the part of the people Of these
States since the surrender of the Conied
crate armies, nearly two years ago Only
in July last the present Congress passed
an act in regard to the Supreme Court
and arranging the United States Circuit

were treated as States in the Union now

the Secretary Of the Treasury, that we
should gradually feel our way to specie
payment.
Mr.. Spahlding made some further re-
marks, defending the policy Of the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury.
Mr.. Stevens replied that he believed
three-fourths OF the loyal States only were
necessary to amend the constitution, and
this being true, the doctrine Of Mr.. Spaul-
ding would food Congress with uncon-
yerted Rebels as soon as the loyal States
adopted the amendment.
Mr.. Spaulding would inquire Of the
gentleman If the amendment 10 the con-
stitution had any reference to reconstrGc-
ton?
Mr.. Stevens-Not a particle, except when
we may hereafter chose to admit the
Southern States. They may be controlled
by negro votes, but not by Rebels. At
present we deny that they have any gov

Mr.. Spaulding asked whether Mr.. Ste
vens' reconstruction plan did not recognize

Mr.. Stevens-No. Congress proposes 10
say to the people of those States You

your governments; go on and form such
governments as Congress orders you to
form.
