Lining Hay.

Preserving hay when put into the
NOW in q greener state than has been
heretofore Thought prudent, by the use
of air-slacked lime, is gaining favor
among farmers every year. We have
never used lime for this purpose, but
have conversed with many farmers
npon the subject, who have, and there
appears to be unity of opinion in re-
gard to its value. They claim that the
hay is entirely preserved from must, oil
mould, and comes ont bright and green
and that all kinds of stock eat il with
great avidity.
When the hay is thrown from the
NOV, most of the lime falls off, so that
these opposed to giving that material
to animals could raise no serious obiee-
ton to using lime for keeping or pre-
serving hay. Some writers have advo-
Gated the theory that the lime dust
will cause heaves in well horses, and
aggravate the disorder in those having
it; others, who have given the matter
fair trial, claim it to he a preventive OF
heaves, and that it will stop the cough
of a horse.
1t will be we'll for farmers while put
ting up their present stock OF grass, to
test its efficiency by busting with lime
q portion of their hay. The trouble OIL
expense will amount to but little, and
il the use of it is as profitable as advo-
Gated by those who have used it, ali
should know the fact, and get the ben
eft of it. The amount Of lime common
ly used is one peck per ton.-ohio Farm

Getting Rid OF Potato Bugs

Various are the modes adopted to kill
or drive away this pest. and some are
quite effectual. The principal thing
required ppears to be diligent work
fighting them. They are not very coura-
geous creatures, aud continued annoy
ance for o short time will canse re-
treat to other quarters. Some one has
recommended throwing infested ant
hills into the potato field, and claimed
that ants will drive ont the bugs. II
this be trne it is certainly q profitable
way of using one evil tn destroy an
other.
The best means we ever use is TO whip
the vines with bush, and ut the time
stir the soil actively with the feet, Civ
ing the bugs q good busting. Twice
going through field in the above man
ner will generally suffice to clear them
all ont, although but comparatively
few are killed. T9hmake death to them
certain, take old bay or stlaw, and
string it along quite plentifully upon
one side of the field clear from the
vines; drive the bugs in the direction
of the straw, and they will run into 1t
fer safety; fire the row, and if potato
vines are troubled again it will be by
the migration OF another lot of bugs.
Assaults should be made as soon as
the bugs appear; proper attention at
this time will secure the vines from Sc
rious injury.
The following remedies, which have
been tried are pronounced highly snc-
cessful:
Take half a bushel of saw dust and a
pint of coal oil; mix well, and SOW
broadcast over the potato hills. Re
peat the dose if the bugs make their APP
pearance at any subsequent period.
Make q weak brine of common salt
water; sprinkle the brine on the vines
after sunset; but take care not to put OF
too much. or the tops will wilt.-oh'o

From Washington

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The greatest
interest prevails in this city concerning
the National Democratic Convention,
and inquiries are everywhere made fer
the latest reports of the prospects of
those who have severally been named
as candidates before that body. Private
kilograms are being sent here in large
numbers, giving the state of affairs.
A letter received here from the Gin
meron's gold mines, on MaXwell's
Grant, in Colorado, speaks of recent
discovery of an astonishing rich gold
lode. The writer says people are flock
ing there in crowds; that new bitches
are nearly finished in other localities;
that new towns are started and new
gold discoveries made daily, and that
the old California excitement prevails
in southwestern Colorado. The pro.
duct of gold and silver this year in Col
orado will reach sixty million dollars
more than California produces.
