meet these scourges will require our best
efforts. The science Of Entomology, by
which insects are classified and their nature
studied is becoming of national Importance
and we are sure that without its help little
will be done. The first step in every pursu"
is analysis, by which we separate Wnoie
into narts. upon each Of which attention Is
to be fixed. Here progress commences
One of the first results in this study Is to
m,ke distinction between insects that are
nseful and injurious, for unless this be done
one will be as likely to destroy his friends
as his enemies. At present this study is so
far from being popular, than the greater
part of educated men, called. are as ignor-
ant as the unlettered. 1t is manifest that
the elements of this science should be taught
in our common schools, if it is to become OF
much use for the transmission of learning
directly from the learned few to the common
people without the intervention OF a teacher,
is impossible In fitting teachers for their
duties, knowledge of this science should
be included among their qualifications as
much as ofarithmetic or grammar. 4.

To PRINT ON FRUITS. s.-When a hand
some fruit is intended to be shown at fair
or sent to friend, it will add something in
the way of novelty to have its name or that
of some person printed indelibly upon its
surface. This may be done in several ways
but the most common methods are as fol
lows: Just before the fruit has attained its
maturity, cut from tough, thin paper the
name proposed and paste this upon the side
of the specimen most fully exposed to the
sun. The portion Of the fruit covered by
the paper will assume different color from
the other and when ripe the paper is re-
moved, leaving the name distinctly visible.
Upon squashes and melons, names and fig
ures may be indelibly impressed by slightly
scratching the surface while they are grow
ing.

Sunfowers, were they new thing, would
be wonder of beauty, and profit to thous-
ands. They give food for fowls, and yield a
valuable OIL 1t is also claimed that when
planted between houses and stagant water
they ward off fever and ague IN America.
1t has recently been asserted by expert
menters in France and Holland, that sun
flowers planted on an expensive scale will
neutralize the deleterious effects of exhala-
tions from marshes. 1t is claimed that
intermittent fever disappears from districts
were sunfowers are cultivated. 1t is not
ascertained in what manner the effect Is
wrought whether the sunhower generates
oxygen like other plants of rapid growth,
or whether like the corn bearers it emits
ozone and destroys the animal and vegetable
germs of miasms producing fever.

FEEDING Too Much CoRN.-A cores
pondent of an Eastern paper. referring to
the fact that pork is sometimes found of
yellow color, says that it results from too
free use of corn for food. He says that
about the time hogs are finished off, farmers
often make mistake in feeding too much
unmixed grain. The result is bad digestion
and yellow fat. Mixed feed should be given
to the last-roots, pumpkins, apples with
corn. As rule, you can get them to eat
more and take on more flesh than by diet
of rich food only.

GRATING WAx.-Four parts of rosin,
three parts of beeswax and three of lard
melted together, make good wax. 1t takes
much less wax and is much handler to work
with, and will make a better job to coat
rags with wax. This can be done by tear
ing the rags into strips, from one and one
half to two inches wide, and dropping them
into the mixture while cooking. 1t should
be permitted to get cool enough before the
rags are taken out, so that sufficient wax
will stick to them to glaze nicely. y.-Cinciin

The ConstitutionaIIy Bilious.

No two parts of the human BODY more
strongly sympathize together than the
Stomach and Liver. When one Is deranged
the other is generally out of repair. And at
no other period of the year are they so haple
to become deranged as now, and thus lay the
foundation ofdisorders which will rob life OF
It's pleasures, and perhaps end in death
itself. The stomach now requires an anu
bilious tonic, the liver needs toning imme-
diately, and the blood ought to be cleansed
and purified. Perhaps you do not realize
the force of this statement; but, neVerthe-
less, the necessity for observing it does exist.
Be warned in time, and seek safety and ex-
emption from disease by using MlSHl1Ehe
HERB BITTERS every day, regularly IL

disordered stomach and liver, and rella-
BILE protection to all who are constitution
ally predisposed to bilious complaints.
