WEEvILs IN GRANAR1Es.-Some years
since, accideut discovered to French
farmer very simple and efficient method
of preventing, or rather destroying, this
insidous pest in corn and grain houses.
Happening to deposit, in one corner Of
a building in which there was stored a
quantity of grain, few sheep skins from
which the wool had not been pulled, he
found, upon examining them few days
after, that they were literally covered
with dead wccvils. The experiment was
repeated, and always with the same re-
suit.
On stirring the corn, (wheat, probably }
he was surprised to find, that although
previously infested to degree that for
badc all hope of saving it from immedi-
ate destruction by this pertinacious foe,
not single insect was to be found among
it. The experiment is certainly worth
trying. Instead of the sheep skins, which
are quite valuable, we might substitute
those of the woodchuck, who is increas.
ing to an inconvenient and expensive ex-
tent. What killed the weevils, whether
the fatty matter on the skin, or something
else, we have not been able to learn. At
any rate, let us try the woodchuck skins.

SuoE1He HoRsEs That OvER-nEAcu.-
In the Mark Lane Express, a blacksmith
who has had much experience in the art
of shoeing, contends that in order to pre-
vent horses from over.reaching, they
should be shoe as follows: Make the toe
caulks very low, forward, standing little
under, and the shoe set as far back as
convenient, with heel.caulks, SO as to let
the foot roll over as quick as possible.
On the hind foot | have the heel-caulk low
and the toe-caulk high and projecting for
ward, thus giving time for the forward
foot 10 get out of way. If thus shod, the
horse will travel clean, without click,
and his speed will be increased on trot
fifteen or twenty seconds in mile. The
reverse of this rule is practised by black
smiths, generally, to overcome this diff.
Guilty. Which is the best method remains
to be decided.

AN INDEPENDENT FAM1Ly.-The Cam.

dependent upon Cuffee?
A friend of ours, with whom we spent
a couple Of nights few weeks ago, with
the aid Of his two sons, one scarcely large
enough to plough, made this year, three
bales of cotton, upwards of four hundred
bushels Of corn, one hrndAd bushels Of
peas, two hundred bushels of sweet pota.

and had thirteen hogs ready for the knife,
7hich would nett him 1000 to 1890
pounds of pork, with flour enough. to
serve him until harvesting his next crop
of wheat, of which he has planted largely.
His crop was all harvested and housed.
his lots and stables well filed with litter,
and the boys were taking holiday after

by evergreens, or by close planting with
other trees, have retained their fruit, as
rule, better than those exposed to the full
rays of the sun at all points, and the
whitening blasts of wind, no matter from
what quarter. Hortieulturists at the
West have for some time advocated hedge
screens as a protection to their orchards,
and we have no desire to undervalue
them, but would increase and extend
them, while at the same time we would
in planting an orchard of five hundred
trees, make one fifth the number ever
green's. Again: believing in closer plant
ing, we, q few years since, set one dwarf
pear orchard, four, by eight feet, and an
apple orchard of standards, twelve feet
apart. The pears are, it is true, growing
one way pretty closely together, yet they
are all healthy, and this season have re.
tained their fruit better than others which
were more widely separated.-Western

Eyergreens Among Orchard Trees.

Heretofore, planting evergreens among
orchards of fruit has been deemed incon.
gruous, and undeserving the attention Of
planters, or as presenting careless waste
of lsnd without system or order in ar.
rangement. From some observations we
have made this season, however, and from
records of several of our correspondents,
we predict that but few years will find
many orchards interspersed irregularly
with evergreen trees. Closer planting
than heretofore recommended, we have
no doubt will prevail, as our fruit-grow-
ers study the devastating effects Of too
great exposure Of the young trees to
wind and sun. In most sections this
year, while fruit bloomed and set abun.
dainty, gradually. little by little, it has
dropped, until many q grower who in
early Summer counted on bushels can
now count fruit only by the dozens. We
have watched this falling of the fruit pret.
ty carefully, and while we have no doubt
that too great an amount of bloom i'm
paired the vitality and was the first cause
Of failure, yet observation has taught US
that trees partially shsded and screened

DEEP PLouGHING.-We have oursclf
experience little in deep ploughing. Our
experience is that one good mule can
turn over the best of our land quite as
deep as it is judicious to turn l.; but let
a subsoil plough follow in The same fur.
row without turning up the earth. The
best crops we have ever made were by
this method, and we think we will be
backed by farmers generally that we are
correct in our experience and judgment.
A few Northern planters the past year
came South to teach the people how to
farm, but in the sequel they have found
out to their cost that what can be done
North, is not practicable South. They

RABBITS GInDL1SG TREEs-SuRE CURE
These animals are great pests of nur'
serymen, particularly in the West, where
they seem to abound, and q great many
persons have given remedies against their
depredations. The correspondent of THE
Prairie Farmer says that he saved 1900
apple trees scatheless at q cost of less
than one dollar. He procured four ounces
of asafntida, which he put into q quart
of warm water, keeping the bottle warm
and shaking it frequently for a week,
Then he mixed the contents with gallon
of fresh blood, and with that painted the
boles of the trees as high as he could
reach. The result was, not tree was
touched by rabbit during the Winter
In the Spring the trees were all painted
again, this time with soft soap, which
gives the trees clean, healthy appearance.

Therefore wisdom more di'play.

young cadets by the senior classes. Why this
has not been stopped by the faculty, we do not
know. A letter from Lexington published in
the Richmond Dispatch says: There has
been some excitement among the cadets grow
ing out of an effort to abolish the system Of
worrying new cadets Many Of the third class
men opposed the change on the ground that
they had just served their apprenticeship, and
it was not fair to deprive them Of the privilege
OF ipficting the same, but the first classmeD,
