r. Giddings, of Illinois, saves the manure,
and adds to the comfort OF his stock by using
dry earth in the stables. To do this he fills a
stall OF large bin in his stable during dry
weather, with pulverized clay, road scrapings,
or common soil. With this he covers the floor
of each stall three inches deep, and then places
the litter for the animals bedding ON it: by
tins means all the urine will be absorbed. and
its wealth OF nitrogen saved, and such is the
absorbing power of dried earth, that one
three-inch flooring will not be SO thoroughly
saturated in long time as to require replsc-
ing. He says his experiment required but one
bin of pulveriZed earth to absorb the urine of
ten or twelve cattle during the stabing sea.
son {: and that two men with team filled the
bin in one day. One ton of saturated earth is
worth more than the same weight Of even
fresh.saved dung. The aggregate amount
Of plant food thus saved from the stalls is
fully double, and in much better condition for
use.

Mulch ~ q Manure.

An experienced farmer once found by ex.
pertinent, that where he mulched his whest
land with yetch, he had an increase of crop
of twelve bushels per acre and he invaribly
found that land which had been sheltered
during the previous winter, from the action Of
the atmosphere, frost, cold, etc., was always
more fertile than any portion ofhis adjoining
land, even under high state of cultivation
Our use of mulch upon small fruits, also con-
firms the above theory, for good mulch in.

The Cooling Moth.

The codling moth Is q small, obscure and
shy damsel, which IS rarely seen, though,
taking enc year with another she probably
causes more loss than any other insect in the
world. About the only time she is seen is on
the windows, in the month of May, having
come from the cellar or some other room
where apples have been stored The codling
moth as she stands with wings closed, meas
ures but about third of an inch in length.
The wings are of an sshen brown color, having,
when closely examined, wavy lustre like
watered silk, and at the end Of the wing IS
proportionally large shining copper colored
spot.-Prairie Farmer.

perfect humiliation OF the horticultural pest
known as curculio My attention, early last
spring, was called to the tact that IN the VI
cinity of the new railroad, which runs imme-
diately through my orchard the curculo was
being driven to the extreme end OF my or

that this enemy does its work at night. The

situated lust one mile from the depot in your
city, blows It's whistle in passing just after
nightfall, and again in the morning before
daylight / was led to the belief that the
noise Of the whistle, or jarrng, was the cause
of their disappearance from the vicinity of the
railroad. To satisfy myself l placed two
pounds of powder in the hollow of live oak
stump Immediately in the vicinity where they
promise the entire destruction of some plums,
peaches, &c. This powder was fired off one
calm night, and 1t not only destroyed every
curculiO, but every winged insect in my entire
orchard. My attention was called to the mar
vellous growth of my peach trees and vines on
the line of the railroad. | could in no way
account for this until discovered the wonder
