The corn crop has several formidable
enemies to contend with, and among
them is what is commonly called the
white grub, which damages the crop se-
riously. The Germantown Telegraph
says one of the best and most judicious
remedies, perhaps the very best ever
suggested, is the application of salt as
soon as the plant makes its appearance
above the ground Take one part COM
mon salt and three parts plaster or
gypsum, and apply about a full table
spoonful around each hill, and it will be
found to be a sure protection. The mix.
ture should not come in contact with the
sprouts, as it may destroy them. This
method has been tried over and over
again by some Of the best farmers of
Pennsylvania, Delaware and Jersey, and
when properly applied has never failed
to be perfectly successful We hope our
farmers, who have reason 10 fear the dep
rotations Of the grub this season, will
try this mixture, leaving few alternate
rows Of corn without the salt, and cons
municate to us the result We are aware
some writer's say salt has no effect upon
vermin, but we speak in this matter on
the best authority.

The following article from the Ruu
World is seasonable aud 70 the point:
There is no substitute for English hay
equal 10 the common millet, on farms
where a sufficient extent Of meadow is not
already established. Indeed, we believe il
is already admitted by intelligent farmers
that for horses and working oxen, good
millet hay is more nutritious and better
liked by them than timothy hay. Millet
Is a rapid growing crop, requiring but a
few weeks TO mature in, and when sown on
light, warm, we'll prepared soil, will
yield more hay per acre than the best
timothy meadows. Ii may be sown during
any leisure spell from She middle Of May
20 the last of June, though probably the
best time 20 SOW the seed is the first good.
moist season that occurs after the middle OF
May. No crop pays better for well pre-
pared, mellow soil. One bushel Of seed is
sufficient for two or three acres. according
10 the strength Of the soil No attempt
should be made 90 secure from the same
crop both seed and hay. When il is de
sired 10 raise seed, half or two-thirds Of
the above quantity Of seed is sufficient TO
SOW. When seed is the object, IL is much
better 10 grow il in drills.
For hay, il should be harvested while the
seeds are soft and before but a small por-
ton of the stems have turned yellow. In
curing, it should be exposed TO the sun
only 30 long as is necessary for il to wilt
and expel the external moisture il should
then be put up in cocks until cured, Shich,
in good weather, will require but short
time.

with 4 little corn meal or wheat shorts,

be given them-they not only thrive on it,

The CanIscr Worm.

Joseph Frazier writes to the IoOl
Homestead that he has been successful
in saving his apple trees from the cankei
worm, by putting bandages Of cotton bat
ting around the trunks before the wing.
less female moths commenced running
Alter having bandaged all the trees, he
visited them every morning for the pur-
pose of destroying such moths as were
caught in the batting. Sometimes he
found as many as twenty-eight moths on
one bandage When the moths had
ceased running, the bandages were taken
off and scalded, and the trunk washed
with soap-suds lie found some few eggs
deposited in the forks of the large limbs
these were washed off with sOap.suds.
by these means the females and their
eggs were SO cleaned out that there were
not worms enough for the birds Mr..
Frazier says that he was well repaid for
his labor and expense, for while he had
plenty Of fruit many of his neighbors,
who trusted to chance, had none. II cots
ton suited for bandages cannot be had,
wool may be used, but it is not so good.
lie has tried a ring of molasses around
the trunk, and this has caught the
moths In every locality infested by the
eanker worm, orchardists should be up
and doing. Bandages, tree protectors,
and plans and precautions Of every kind
should be put into practice before the
warm weather of spring causes the moth
to come out Of the ground for the pur-
pose of dePositing their eggs on the
trees

8. Their home-like domestic qualities
qualify them for confinement in small
yards, which with little or no disposition
to roam, make them a desirable fowl for
cities or villages.
T. Their superior quality Cor the table
cannot be denied. Kill and pick one and
you will have something that will do for
meal for fair sized family. One will
weigh as much as two common fowls and
oftentimes more.
5. Their chickens are hardy, easily
raised, and grow rapidly, and last of ali,
they are iine, handsome looking fowls, such
as man can take pride in showing to his
friends.
These expressions will doubtless conflict
with those Of some others whose favorite
fowls have different appellation, but there
IS consolation in knowing that there is
room for them to put in plea for their
fayorites
A correspondent Of the Country Gentle
man gives his experience as follows:
In the spring Of 1867, / first had my at
tention called to the Brahma fowls. | have
kept fowls many wears, and those | had
were mixed bloods-highly mixed with
Black Spanish. They laid very well, but
| for the table were not 80 good as / desired.
In four years an average flock Of seventy
five hens produced 2S,040 eggs, or about
ninety-four eggs per annum 10 each hen.
! ! sent East 500 miles, and procured six
dozen Brahma eggs-and from them |
raised twenty-five, Of which seventeen we're
pullets. These pullets commenced laying in
December last, just seven months from the
day they were Matched, and they got fairly
at work about the first Of January, and
during that month, jest passed, have laid
227 eggs. have fifty of my mixed bloods,
and they laid during the came month l42
eggs. SO far the Brahmas are ahead Of
any winter layers know Of and in size
they are nearly twice as large as my others.
Besides, they are very hardy and easily
raised, more quiet, and / think a great ac-
| QUESTION to the country.

FARM AND GARDEN
The Colorado Potato Bug

The Prairie Farmer says the dreaded
Colorado potato bug, the ten-lined spear
man, is now held in check by two
methods, one Of which is blowing under
the tops with diamond pillow, the other
consists in an application of white
hellcbore, in the same manner as it is APP
piled in killing the current worm, viz
with dredging box with very fine holes
attached to the end Of broomhandle, to
prevent the operator from inhaling the
dust 1t is used while the dew is upon
the plants, and before night every beetle
and larva will be found dead

Poultry rive Years Experience

A correspondent Of the Io'oa Home
stead having devoted FIVE years to the
business Of poultry raising, arrives Of the
following conclusions in reference to the
Brahma fowl:
!. The knowledge that these fowls are
unequaled as winter LAYERS.
2. That their eggs average larger and
richer than those Of any other breed.
