an ingenious device for spelling strawberries,
but as we are probably in the minority, we

PROTECTION TosWALLs AND CHIxNEYs.-
The decay of marble fronts and other con-
structions of stone into which lime or mag
nesia enters as a component, and of the
mortar joints in brick chimneys and walls,
which in many cities has become so serious a
difficulty, is attributed to the continued evo-
luton of sulphurous and sulphuric acid by
the combustion Of coal-each ton of the coal
being capable of supplying about seventy
pounds of oil Of vitrial. In addition to the
chemical corrosion, a mechanical disintegra-
ton is supposed to be produced by the alter
mating solution Of the sulphate formed, and
their disqualification on the surface and in
the pores of the stone. 1t is stated that this
action can be almost entirely prevented by
applying 10 the clean surface an aqueous So
luton of superphosphate of lime, which,
acting on the carbonate of lime, produces the
uralterable disphosphate of lime. For mag
nesian limestones baryta may be added. The
cost of materials is but triHing, and one gal
Ion of solution will give two coats to three
hundred square feet of surface. The strength
of the stone and its resistance to absorption
of moisture are said TO be greatly increased
by the process, a matter of importance where
the freezing of water in the pores of the
stone is one cause of decay.-Harper' MagG-
zine.

tedious to specify them all. Good summer

pea ground, Immediately after the peas have
been harvested, if the ground is dry and
loose, plough the land two burrows deep, one
plough following the other then, as soon as
ploug hed, cultivate and harrow effectually,
and continue doing so, at intervals of few
days, as long as the land remains in tit
state to work. Manure on the suface, plough
again in spring, SOW with spring wheat or
barley, and seed with clover (ten or twelve
pounds to the acre, if more all the better,)

June, and as soon as the second crop is a
foot high, plough it under cultivate and
harrow as after the peas, and if properly
titled afterwards, you have done with Canada

ceased, as though each party had gained
certain amount of respect for the other, by
the experience gained during the midnight
battle.
In England we may often see combi-
nation formed by small birds, who chase
hawk or kestrel which has invaded their
domain the result usually is that the bird
of prey retreats, though it be powerful
enough to crush with its talons any one of
its pursuers.
Hence we see the practical result of
combination against foe, or difficulty,
when we note the habits of the animal
kingdom. and thus we may learn how much
may be accomplished by ourselves when
we combine hearts and hands for the gen.
eral good: families united for one purpose,
men working as brothers with one aim,
and a nation combined for nations good.
Whilst unity gives strength and power,
and deies foe, the house divided against
itself shall fall.

The CURRANT WoRh.-Mr Charles Blais-
dell, of Wellesley, Mass, informs us that be
has been successful in destroying the currant
worm and other plant insects By the use Of
Buchan's Carbolic Acid soap. The soap sold
for laundry or common washing purposes
contains much less carboline, the principal
destructive to insects, than the preparation
sold as Carbolic Plant Protector The for
mer was the kind we used in the experiment
we alluded to last week. The latter, which
we have since tried, we find to be fatal to
the worms when dissolved in water and
sprinkled upon them. We notice also a
statement by Rev. DR.. Marvin of the Bos-
ton Daily Nelos, that he found showering
applied to his bushes, cleared them of worms
I'D few minutes. A busting of White
Hellebore is also said to prove efectual, but
this is costly and somewhat dangerous
poison to use. The carbolic suds, it is claim
ed, is harmless to foliage and person.
AS this worm threatens the destruction of
our currant bushes, we hope this remedy
will ha ea-aG'lI " .-;.a - sLs-~ -~Als 49, ...-

SPARE THE WooDrKcKERs.-A writer in
the EnfomolOgist says that the small spotted
woodpecker (Picus pubescenes) has often
been observed to be particularly busy about
the lower part of the trunks of apple trees.
And it is here, under the bark, Just above
the surface of the ground that the round
headed borer commences its operations, and
passes the first year of its existence. DR..
Fitch, in bis first report upon the noxious
insects OF New York, after referring to these
facts, makes the interesting suggestion, that
owing to the proximity of the insect to the
surface of the earth, no insect-eating bird
could earth it with it's bill unless it had the
faculty of clinging to the bark of the tree
and working with its head downwards.
Now this is just what our friend, the wood
pecker, can do; and there is no doubt that
ne irequents this part of the tree for the
purpose OF capturing this identical and most
pernicious insect
Thus it would appear that no part of Ma
lures vast domain, no nook or corner, hole
Dr. crevIce In which insects can be found. es-
capeAt prying search of one or another of
he multifarious tribes of insect-eating birds.
However extensive may be the instrumental
ty OF parasitic insects, no one in his sound
mind, can question that birds enact a vast
ND essential part in controlling the inde6-
lite multiplication of insects

To MAKE TEA.--There is very little skill
required in making tea, and yet very few
have it well prepared 1t is important that
the water should be boiling-not simply
scalding-if it is not, the tea will be worth
less. For English breakfast tea it is best to
allow two heaped teaspoOnfuls for each per-
son. Either put the tea into perfectly dry
pot, and set it on the corner of the range,
heated through, before adding the water, or
fill the teapot with boiling water, and let
it stand till thoroughly hot and then
empty it out and put in the tea This done,
pour on two cups of. boiling. bubbling hot
water, set it on the range or a trivet over
spirit lamp and let it boil two minutes then
add a teacup of boiling water for every per-
son, and let it boil again for three or four
minutes. Put into the teacups, sugar and
milk according to the taste of those who are
to use the tea, and fill up with the boiling
tea. When the cups are once filed, put
more boiling water in the tea in the same
proportion, and again set the teapot on the
trivet to boil three or four minutes. The
last will be nearly if not quite as good as the
first drawing-some prefer it but in no
case fail to have really boiling water. In
making Oolong or green teas, less. tea is
needed, and much less boiling.

tried all means to check this petty dishones-
ty on the part of his customers, but as yet
without success. Another serious loss to
him arises from the fact that two-thirds of
the money which he receives from his Gus
toners is paid in copper cents. These he
has = sell to the pawnbrokers, who charge
him purchasing commission of from two to
three per cent, and this often on as much as
$500 or $1,000 day. There is one note
worthy fact in connection with the pie bust
ness-the higher the prices of general food,
the greater is the sale of pies. The price of
pies is never raised, and it often happens
that the poor can buy pies as cheap or
cheaper than they can make them for them
selves. 1t is but the quantity which pays !;
for the profit on each pie does not much ex-
coed cent.

Hoping and Waiting.
Br AMY BATTLES.

To-day sweet hopes within my bosom linger,
The sweet pure hopes, born of unfaltering trust
Though joys be led, or scattered in the dust,
read the lesson written by Gods finger,
Not upon stony tablets, of old,
When on the moultain top, mid smoke and flame
The word of Goo unto his children came;
But In my heat the precious boon 1 hold,
The daily wisdomf for tie daily round.
For trusting, waiting souls God loves 10 teach,
The needed lessor gives He unto each
As to the Hebrews mama on the ground,
So to the spirit asking daily food,
He sends it daily, iresb, and sweet, and good.
And we can well AFFORD to wait a season,
Till all that now isiatk shall be made bright,
If not with earthly, then with heavenly light,
And we shall come at las to know the reason
OF all the toll, the seeming loss, the pain,
The silent vanishing of s"pie dear face,
= The weary gazing at the rlscant place.
All this and more shall in Gods time come plain.
Hope then, my soul, and let thy trust abound,
HIS mercies fail not. Every morning new
They come to thee as TO the flowers the dew.
On in all cares and sorrows, thou hast found
Ills grace sufficient for thee, hitherto;
1t will be to the end, if thou art true.

To DESTROY WoEHs AND BUGs.-As a pre-
tentative against these depredators, Mr..
Richard Drop communicates to the Rome,
\. Y, Sentinel, the result of his observation
and experience for some years. He says
nothing is so efectual in keeping worms and
bugs from all kinds of trees, shrubs and
bushes, as green cedar brush, cut in small
pieces and sprinkled under the currant and
other bushes and TO keep bugs and worms
from fruit trees, he recommends fruit grow
ers to tie cedar brush around the trunks of
the trees, There is something offensive about
cedar to all bugs and worms, and they do
not approach it. He remarks that he has
never yet discovered worms nest on cedar
brush. and that cedar brush is also effectual

SALT FOR TIE Corn GRUB.-The German
town Telegraph, good authority on agricul-
tural questions, says The corn crop has sever
al formidable enemies to contend with, and
among them is the grub, which sometimes
literally destroys whole fields, or damages
the crop seriously. One of the best and
most convenient renedies-perhaps the best
ever suggested-is the application of salt as
soon as the plant makes its appearance above
ground, prepared and used in this way
Take one part common salt and three parts
plaster or gypsum, and apply about table
spoonful around each hill 1t will be found
to be sure protection. The mixture should
not come in contact with the young plants
as it may destroy them. This method has
been tried over and over again by some of
the best farmers Of Pennsylvania, Delaware
and New Jersey, and when properly applied
has never failed to be perfectly successful
We hope our farmers, who have reason to
fear the depredations of the grub, tie present
SC a,on, will try this mixture, leaving a few
alternate rows of corn without the salt, and
communicate to US the result.

A METHOD OF GETTING HARM these
high prices for farm labor, and low prices for
the products of the farm, any way of pro-
ducing desired result by less expensive
process than the usual one is adopted by the
progressive farmer without hesitation.
A process of curing hay has been adoptei
and followed by several farmers of my &C
quaintance, which, as far as l can learn, has
proved very satisfactory, for several years.
1t may te that this process has been fol-
lowed very much more extensively than |
know of. If SO l would like to hear the
opinions of persons who have tried it.

One man who has practiced this several
years, is justly considered one of the best
farmers in town. His stock looks well, and
produces as much as any. His farm improves
yearly; his buildings are in the best of re-
pair, and he makes an annual investment
every year, outside. He considers his hs
to be better than when cured the old fash
Toned way, and it certainly looks and smells
as well as any l ever saw
The hay crop Of New England is one of
vast Importance. More than apy other. IL
lies at the basis of all farming. According
to its increase or decrease, the increase or
decrease of the manure, and of the -conse-
quent productiveness or sterility of the soil,
may be reckoned. And it is plain that any
improvement in the manner of securing the
crop will increase the amount produced.
The method of curing with salt and lime,
which attracted so much attention two years
ago, although not very satisfactory for the
curing of fodder, has saved me good deal
