Killing POTATO Bugs.

A correspondent Of the Prairie Farmer
gives his experience with potato bugs as
follows.
10 the year 1860, in passing through my
patch Of three-quarters of an acre one day
in July, I found about quart of bugs. 1
took club and killed the last one, so I
thought perhaps that would be the last for
that season. But behold, in a week there
came about a bushel. stood and looked
on IN amazement for a few minutes, as I
studied up the following successful plan

the hay and piled 1t in the midst of the
bugs, between two rows. then got bush
and drove the bugs into the hay and set the
bugs and hay on fire. This settled the
hash with them for that year and saved the
potatoes.
In 1868 I repeated the same process US

Cor as a Forage PLANT.

Our farmers would act wisely if they
would SOW a considerable amount OF corn
to be cut for hay. It is pronounced much
better than any grass that can be grown
Dr.. Lee, Of Knox county. Tenn, an expert
enced agriculturalist and dairyman says in
a communication to the Southern Cultiya-
tor
By cultivating the early sixty and ninety
day Northern corn in the cotton States, two
good crops may be raised for hay in a year

profitable. AS long aud large experien ce

Sailing Stock.

$50 far as 1 know" writes retired far
mer, but an attentive reader Of our paper,
"the stock growers are very generally fol-
lowing in the footsteps of their foreiathers,
by occasionally giving a stinted quantity
of salt to their stock In the summer they
often throw it on the ground in the pasture,
and being so starved for salt, the stock will
often eat the ground because of its being
impreguated with salt One of the greatest
errors now practiced by our stock growers
is the neglect to give the stock requisite
amount of salt. I should as soon think of
stinting my stock with water as salt
My mode Of sailing for number of years
has been to keep a sufficient quantity of
salt in a trough in my pastures and yards,
50 that my stock may have free access to
it, and eat of it as often as they wish, and
as much as they wish, always keeping up
the supply. 1 think our stock know bet
ter than we do when they want salt and how
much they need They know as we'll when
they want salt as they d o when they want
water, and when they have eaten all they
crave they will eat no more. When they
have grass in the summer they will eat
salt every day. From my own experience,
l am sure that cows will give more and bet
ter milk by having free access to salt than
when deprived of it. From my own ex-
perienoe and observation I have no doubt
that great share of the diseases among
stock, is in consequence Of their being stint
ed with salt Should any Of your readers
be disposed TO give attention to this sub
jeet, would caution them not to give free
access to salt at once. but increase the guam
tity by degrees for about two weeks, other
wise they may be starved for salt and eat

Frnit for Distant Market.

COlman's Rural World protests against
sending unripe fruit to market, even when
it is transported long distance. This ad
vice will be apt to mislead the inexpeTieno-
ed. Strawberries should not be shipped
over one hundred miles when fully ripe,
but if picked a little in advance, they may
be sent in good condition seven or eight
hundred miles. They should be picked
very clean when the market is far of, else
after few days the multitude of dead-ripe
berries will spoil the whole lot by being
mashed and by souring. Peaches for long
shipment should be picked so soon as they
are ripe enough TO mellow up within two
or three days and not wither. No peach
that can be easily indented on any part OF
it should be put into box for long voy-
age. Picked right and packed with care,
this fruit may go / 800 miles in good con-
dition. The chief difficulty arises from the
ignorance of experienced growers. It re-
quires a full acquaintance with the COM
plexion Of each variety of peach to know
just when to pick it for distant railway
transportation.

There's a wailing in the forest
That never heard before

As they fret upon the shore;
There are FveiTed shapes az midnight,
Like ghostly car avian,
And they whisper from the shadows

There's a Tustling 'mong the hillOeks,
W here the brave were laid to rest,
In full many lonely valley,
And DER many mountain breast
And a voice from out the trenches,
Where blood of heroes ran,
Seems to marshal into action
All the coming kUkluX Kan
There's pause amid the revel
Of he banqueters ofsin;
There's CHASTITY moon of sorrow
In their Bacchanaiian din;
And the spoilers of a nation,
Drink as deeply as they can,
Cannot drink away their visions

The PIGGERY.-It is great waste OF
food, time and talent to keep poor hogs.
Good economy, in our humble opinion, and
our experience comedies. is only to be in
sured by keeping hogs in good growing
condition at least. a poor SOW with a half
dozen or more little grunters working for
pork, is very much like manure made from
a horse fed in winter on broomsedge, or but
ter made from milk taken from a cow whose
food is broomsedge, rather poor show for
the pork barrel. or to make corn, or to
grease cake. A fat sow, we'll fed. can
raise fat pigs. and when they are ten and
twelve weeks old they can be weaned off,
and pretty certain prospect that in six
months from the previous farrowing there
will bsp8other. But the poor SOW, after
req l3t Of poorgpigs, is not in cOndi-
forth another lot until she has
Z. Thus good economy teaches
to rear good pigs and to have
5pped twice year. The penny
think SOW thin in flesh has the
s1gst pigs, and that it is bad policy TO keep
sows too fat. We ara inclined to admit
both. and we ask such breeders if the SOW
in good condition. almost pork fat. though
her pigs may not be SO large asthose ofau-
other somewhat thin, has she not in a few
weeks much the finest pigs Of course,
the nursing quality taken into the count.
A poor SOW cannot give as much or as rich
milk for the pigs as if she was in fine con
dilion. If a SOW be too fat to breed of
course it is an evil. We always object to
fat sows, if fattened on corn, but we never
saw one too fat when on pasture. Some of
the finest pigs We ever had when three
months old were from SOW fat enough for
pork-as No. pasture of clover could
make her. When sows are getting too old
to bread they often fatten fast.
