10 Drive Away Koaches and Ants

These troublesome pests were never
so plentiful as this season; tropical
weather generates tropical annoy
ances. We give our readers South
American remedy for cockrOaches which
has been tried in Philadelphia with per-
feet success. Kitchens, pantries and
waterclosets were rid of these disgusting
visitors. Take powered borax and scat
ter wherever the cockroaches most frOS
quent, and they will disappear directly.
A safe and efficacious remedy for a most
annoying vermin. Ants can be driven
out of cupboards if Jumps Of camphor
are scattered about them. Ants object
to strong scents, and in tropical climates
are prevented from entering rooms by
powerfully scented oils and gums. A
sponge can be sprinkled with sugar and
laid upon shelves when ants are numer'
Gus; the next morning plunge quickly
into boiling water, and most Of the intru
ders will be destroyed. Then scatter
camph1r and you will have no trouble.

them. Let them simmer for about two
hours; then strain the liquor and put it
back into the kettle, and put in it as many
ounces as the liquor will cover; boil
them until they are tender, take them
out and put them on a fiat dish to

then put the sugar in, and let it boil until
it becomes a syrup; then put in as many

heIerfIn- Chniee see,Is

The finest and best varieties of the
cereals have generally been originated by
the selection Of the largest and best
filled ears at harvest time and propaga-
ting from them until large quantities Of
seed were obtained and disseminated.
The potato cat which has been so long
celebrated Tor its great weight and pre-
ductiveness was propagated from single
plant Of extraordinary size which gen
tlsmen found growing in his field in CuT-
berlsnd, England Every farmer should
endeavor to obtain a new variety of
seed TO refresh or renew an old one by
selecting the best heads Of wheat, oats,
barley or rye at the time of harvesting
and carefully propagating frsm them,
until, in the course of time, enough will
be obtained to supply himself and his
neighbors with all they may need. II
this were done we would not hear SC
80 much about the deterioration Of the
cereal crops.
The falling off in the agreeable yield of
the wheat crop IS partly occasioned by
the use Of WORKOUT seed, and partly by
superficial tillage. It is vain to expec. a
good crop of any kind from deteriOrated
seed sOwn on impoverished soil. When
to these evils are added shallow blowing
and the want of draining, manuring, and
rotation of crops, the wonder is, not
that the crops are light, but that they
are not still lighter. In preparing land
for wheat, stagnant water should be goi
rid Of, grass and weeds eradicated, and i
the soil is not possessed Of the necessary
ingredients, they should be supplied By
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-08-06
Improved Varieties of Whao,

Whether it is desirable to cultivate
many or few varieties Of wheat at the
same time on a farm may be regarded
differently by different persons. We
think three or four varieties sufficient, as
rendering partial success more certain
and total failure less probable. The pro>
ductiyenesS Of any one variety of wheat
differs from year to year, owing to differ
ent conditions of climate, season and
soil, during the active period of the
plants growth, and while ore variety
fails another may succeed. Thus 10 q
very dry season the long straw varieties
are the most productive, while in a wet
season, the plant growing very luxurious
ly, the shorter varieties succeed best.
BY reason Of these irregularities it is
both prudent and necessary to success to
cultivate several varieties at the same
time on farm. Every farmer should
ascertain by experiment for himself what
varieties are best suited to his particular
soils and Circumstances. But a blind
preference for any kind of wheat, be-
cause it has been successfully cultivated
for long time in ones neighbOrhOod,
without testing It's worth with other va
rieties, is to be deprecated and condemns
ed as much as constant shifting year
after year from one new kind to another,
in the vain hope of finding variety that
will cast all others in the shade.

CRAB APPLE.


Leave the stem on. Weigh a pound
Of sugar to pound of the fruit. Pierce
the apples with large needle. Make q
syrup Of the sugar; when clear put in
the apples, and boil them thirty or forty
minutes. Take them out very carefully
and lay them singly on dish 70 cool;
when cold put them into the jars and
strain the hot syrup over them.
WINE THAT WILL NOT INToxICATE.
The juice of any sound, ripe fruit may
be canned, or put in jugs, and sealed up
alright, while it is scalding hot, just as
we put up canned fruit, and may be kept
any length of time if properly put up.
A small bottle of such juice may be
opened at any time, and mixed with
water and sugar, making pleasant
drink, or wine that is not intoxicating.
Or better still, such juices are excellent
to use over vegetables instead of vinegar,
or with bread, when fruit is scarce; chill
dren would often prefer fruit juices, even
without sugar, to molasses or milk.
Much good fruit might be used in this
way that is now left to rot because it is
too small to pick over. Any fruit worth
gathering, if ripe and good, may be
washed and pressed, or scalded, and the
juice drained of, then the juice must be
made boiling hot and put into jugs, or
bottles, and property sealed.
