The Grub in strawberry Beds.


The season of 1869, we lost thousands
of plants of choice varieties of the
strawberry in a piece of new land, by
the white grub eating off the roots,
and in some instances the entire crown
of the plant The beds and rows were
gone through with by hand and the
earth dug up, and killed when found,
yet with all possible care, not more
than half were destroyed. Early the
past spring, there was an evident crop
OF the pests ready to destroy the plants
left and the runners made in the latter
part of thr season. This formidable
enemy of the strawberry, on
rather new or rich soils, had to
be destroyed, or the growing of the
plants discontinued. It was an expert
ment; [ might kill plants and all-but
determined to try. [ applied to the
beds In the month of April, at the rate
of one bushel and quarter of coarse
solt to the one-fourth acre of land, dis
tributed evenly over the same. A few
of the plants, where the salt rested i'm
mediately upon the leaves, were little
blackened, but not at all damaged to
prevent fruiting and vigorous growth.
But 10 the grub was not accustomed
to salt victuals-they all disappeared.
A few weeks later the same amount OF
salt was spread broadcast over piece
of land that was to receive the plants,
before they were set, and was equally
successful. Z olen1d71's Rural World

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Hints from a Housewife.

Hints from q housewife.
Perhaps some of your housekeeping
readers do not know Of certain econom-
zeal expedients in domestic management
that have somehow crept into our prac-
tice. Brooms are SO generally used and
abused that, their freshness worn off,
they are too soon discarded. When a
broom begins to succumb to wear and
tear, place it in pan of boiling water
for a few seconds, shaking it well, and
drying it quickly in the sun or near the
fire. IF the bottom edge Is wearing I'M
evenly, tie a string around it until it is
dry, and trim off the uneven edge care
fully. Whisk brooms should be treated
in the same way Clothes-pins boiled
a few moments, and quickly dried, once
or twice month, become more flexible
and durable. Clothes-lines will last
longer and keep in better order for
wash-day service if occasionally treated
In the same way. We have discovered
q frst-class homemade cement for fill
ing up cracks IN an old stove or range.
The ingredients are wood ashes and
salt, equal proportions in bulk of each
little less Of salt. Reduce to a soft
paste with cold water, and fill cracks
when the stove or range is cool. The
cement will soon become perfectly hard
We keep an iron spoon in an old tin pan
on hand, ready for duty whenevera crack
appears. Fire-clay, obtained at the
stove-dealers') viii sometimes answer,
but our homemade cement is always at
command. Never discard the old lids
of the WORKOUT cooking stove when the
irOn-TnOnoer takes il AWAY They can
be heated so quickly, and when wrap
ped in cloths and placed around or upon
the body in cases of severe pain will be
found invaluable. Many time have
we been able to sooth suffering by these
warm lids always being at hand. Flat
and light as they are, they can be easily
placed anywhere on the body. Keep
them in a convenient place, where they
can be mad at moments notice.

A Scene not on the Bills.

In Mexican Buchanan's performance
in Lexington, Kentucky, recently the
orchestra was composed of an addle-
headed veteran and a wheezy piano.
Just at the time when the murder of
Duncan was being meditated the piano
struck up yankee Doodle" The
curtain rose, and Banquo stepped to
the footlights Still the piano PLAYED
"Yankee Doodle - Banouo said.
" Stop" The veteran at the paino was
making SO much noise himself that he
didn't hear Banquo. Then Banquo
laughed, and the audience laughed and
cheered uproarously The Veteran,
thinking the cheers were for him, play
ed with still more vim "Yankee Doodle
come to town" Banquo walked up to
the piano and said, "Stop!" and re-
peated it several times, but without
effect, until he fairly screamed, "Stop
the music, the curtain is up!' and he
gave the piano kick. Then the
truth crept into the old gentleman's
head, and he left his seat amid cheers
and laughter, while Banquo stood
waiting to put in his speech, which he
did in approved style, barring slight
grin at the absurdity of the situation.

I am tired of striving seets, with their various
bigotry-
All, for me death holds no terror but the fear of
losing thee.
In a Heaven apart from thee, could by exiled soul
rejoice?
Could join the angels song, missing thence thy
tender voice?
What to me were gates of pearl if they parted thee
and me?
What the streets so and golden if walked them
seeking thee?
What to me would be the joys of that bright and
wondrous land,
If among them should lack evermore thy loving
hand?
What to me the pastures green where thy feet could
never be?
What the paths beside still waters if thou walkest
not with me?
All wherever after death my sill faithful soul NAV
dwell,
Saints may call it bliss or woe-they may name il
heaven or hell,
By thee only, oh, beloved, will my joy or pain be
wrought,
I shall find my heaven beside thee or nv hell where
thou art mott
