Central New York, looking after {
farm he has there. Having been a
a meeting of the Farmers Club, he
writes as follows
II attended a meeting of thu
Farmers Club, the other day, and
was much interested in the sugges-
tons offered. There is no formal
ity about these meetings, every one
being at liberty to present such
facts and suggestions as he pleases.
This being the planters season,
discussion naturally laid in that
direction. How to help worms
was a prominent theme. r. O.Hfn-
die, of Renson,- recommended
strongly that the seed corn be
strongly soakedin vermifuge, which
is said to be a good thing to drive
away worms.
Kurnel O'Korn Squaw Bush said
he usually stuffed the worms with
worm lozenges (of which they are
passionately fond) while the corn
is growing Common gratitude
keeps them from eating the corn
after that.
The grub-worm was taken up
and discussed. Some one -said
ashes would fix him, Luke Coan,
of Westmoreland, said the grubs on
his farm like ashes-got fat on them.
He said he put ashes on every hill
of his corn in ten acre field of it.
The grubs went at the ashes, and
deyoured it nearly as fast as they
could put it on, That night he
was awakened by aloud knocking
at the door, and hallooing. It was

Smiles be they false, till the sun is set.

Ever be dutiful,
Loving might gladden. their hearts alway
Under the beautiful moon there rest
Vicious and pure as the hours go on,
Souls that In love and life are blest,
Faces Of wTetchedness pale and wan;
