FARM AND GARDEN.



F.F. T., Hannibal, Mo-, writes the
Journal Of Agriculture about ap
plying salt to wheat ground. In
1858 he resided near Rochester,
New York, and sowed that fall
twelve acres of wheat. The ground
was badly infested with wire worms
which destroyed previously, on the
same ground, two crops OF wheat
and barley each. This time the
ground was summer-fallowed, the
wheat put in with drill, and six
barrels of Syracuse salt sown broad
cast on the twelve acres. The re-
suit was forty bushels of nice white
flint wheat to the acre, and the ex-
tinction, for the time being, of the
worm pest.

How to Drive Reaches Away.

One of our exchanges contains
the following:
Hundreds, nay thousands of our
citizens are greatly annoyed. by
reaches and erOton bugs, particular
ly those whose houses are located
on clay or sandy soil. All manner
of drugs and compounds have been
resorted to, and ingenious contri-
vances have been used with but lit
tie effect. The bugs will leave for a
time and then return TO annoy the
housekeeper as well as the cook.
A friend, who has been terribly an
noyed by them, and who now re-
joices in occupying a house from
which he drove them, gives us the
following recipe: ''Take powdered
borax, scatter it in your kitchen
along the wash-board, pour it into
the cracks and around the water
works and heaters. If they frequent
your parlors or bedrooms, scatter
it along the wash-board, into the
cracks. Do this three or four times
and you will drive them out of your
house"

Thee are several operations which
should be performed in connection with
the garden and orchard, before winter
sets in, well understood by practical
men. but often omitted through torgetlulr
ness, on which few brief hints may not

orchard Lad allowed his ground to be-
come sodded over, and when he banked
them up threw large pieces oil turi

swinc-Breeds and CharacteristIcs


The Rural World notices, in their
order, the Berkshire, Suffolk, Ches-
ter Whites, Yorkshire and Essex
varieties Of hogs, giving the general
characteristics Of each, and assigns
the post of honor to the Chester
Whites as the most desirable breed
of the present day. They arc thus
characterized Color white; frame
large and rangy,-with aptness to
fatten young, and yet attaining great
size when kept to the age Of eighteen
months or two years. The breed
has become well established, and re
tains its characteristics well. They
are held at high prices; but, foI
breeding purposes, are well worth
the moneys and every one raising
hogs to any extent, ought to have a
least one pair of pure Chester
Whites" Whatever the breed pre-
ferred, it is thought to be good poll
.cy to have pigs come about the frs
of April, and another lot about
harvest time, when they can rang
in the wheat field, and act as CLEAN
ers of the scattered grain, and thu
save so much which would otherwis
be lost to the farmer.

Wood Ashes and '.BIGterns'' for Fruit
Trees.

A correspondent asks the Rural
NeU Yorker if it will pay to apply
wood ashes, costing fifteen cents
per bushel, to pear and apple tress I;
also if refuse salt, called "bitterns, "
is of any value to fruit trees, to
which that paper replies: Wood
ashes are one of the most valuable
of all fertilizers to apply to fruit
trees On long cultivated soil they
are especially valuable, because they
are made of the ash or mineral ele-
ments of wood, and replace what
may have been extracted to an undue
extent by long continued cropping.
For ounce, pear and apple trees we
consider them cheap fertilizers at
ordinary price We should apply
a bushel to a square rod, having
for its center the stem of the tree,
and the dressing would need repeat
ing once in three or four years.
The "bitterns' are of less value.
On rich soil a dressing of salt oc-
casionally is doubtless conducive to
the health of trees, and it has some
effect in destroying insects.
