CUT-WoRMS AND CORN.

Put the seed corn into tight tub or bar
rel, and pour in enough water to keep it well
covered after it swells. For each bushcl of
corn add pound or pound and half of
coppcras, dissolved in warm water. Stir
well, and allow the corr to remain in the cop
peras-watcr twenty, -four or thirty hours. Stir
several times while soaking. When the corn
has remained in the water as directed, take
it out and sprinkle a small quantity Of land
plaster over it-enough to prevent the grain
from sticking togcther-and plant. Corn
treated in this manner will not be troubled by
cut-worms, and it will be out Of their reach
before the effect Of the copperas is destroyed.
This remedy has been tried by my father for
the last twelve years, and always with success.
He has tried it repeatedly, in the same field
with corn planted without any preparation,
and the result was that this corn required no
replanting, while in some instances the other
corn required replanting two or three times.
Other farmers in this portion Of the country
have tried this remedy, and always with sue
cess.-COr. COantry Gentleman.

WHAT IS HONEY q?

At the last session Of the North American
Bee-keepers' Association, held at Indianapo.
lis, Ind, in answer to the question, "What
is honeyr" MIR. Adair, Of Kentucky, said:
There is no distinct substance that can be
called honey. Bees gather anything that has
enough sugar in it to give it decided sweet
taste. Three kinds Of sugar are re ,ognizcd-
fruit sugar, grape sugar and cano sugar.
They arc all vegetable secretions, and differ
but slightly in their constituent elements
They only vary in the amount OF hydrogen
and oxygen (Which are the elements of water)
and arc convertible into each other. As Or
dinarily gathered from flowers, honey is a
mixture Of sugar and other secretions of
plants, and consequently differs widely in its
composition, depending on the source from
which it is obtained. The peculiar scent and
flavor of the honey is impaired to it in the
hive by the absorption Of the musky parti,
cles given off by evaporation from the bodies
Of the bees, scent that all bee.kcepers will
recognize who have opened hive or walked
among them on calm evening.

TRANSPLANTING IN WINDY
WEATHER.

havS always found it difficult matter
to make workmen understand the Importance
of protecting the roots Of plants that were
being transplanted in windy weather. Small,
delicate plants are soon destroyed if exposed
to the hot sun and drying winds. Large
trees will also be greatly injured if exposed
only for an hour, and many fine, healthy
specimen has been destroyed by exposure,
while hole was being dug for reception. l
have seen trees scattered about over field
in the morning, and there left exposed to
drying winds until planted, the same or the
following day. If the trees died, or failed to
make good growth, the nurseryman, soil, or
season was blamed, but never a word said
about carelessness at the time of transplant.
ing. One morning, last spring, l passed
gentleman's place where one Of our would-be-
great landscape gardeners was experimenting
the planting of choice lot Of evergreen and
other trees, which had just arrived from
well.known nursery. Not hole had been
dug, or other preparations for planting made,
but the trees were scattered over the place,
each specimen thrown down near where it
was to be planted, not o root covered, or even
sprinkled with water, although the wind was
blowing almost a hurricane at the time. Late
in the evening passed that way again the
larger portion Of the trees were still lying in
the same position, only very few having
been planted. l Ilearned, a few months later,
that the trees had died, and the purchaser
refused to pay for them, and believe the
case is still in the courts. This is but one
instance in hundreds that have come under
my rather limited experience in noticing what
my neighbors are doing consequently, do
not always feel like taking sides against the
nurserymen, even if they do sometimes make
mistakcs.-Cor. Rural New Yorker.

CHEAP PoULTRY-YARD.

Set posts firmly in the ground, six feet
high, eight feet apart. Take No, 8 wire,
stretch from post to post outside, fastening
with staples made OF wire driven into posts.
Place three wires one inch apart, one foot
from tho ground another three at three
feet ten inches from the ground another
three at top Of the posts. Take common
laths and weave in, leaving three inches space
between sides Of each. This makes the fence
four feet high. Take other laths, picket one
end, and chamfer the other like a chisel
blade, and interweave among the top wires ;
then shove the chamfered edge down beside
the top of the bottom lath, tapping under
wires two inches. This makes cheap, dur
able, pretty fence, that is seven feet and
ten inches high, and fowLtight. Wires
should be left somewhat slack, os interweav-
ing the laths will take it up. W. LANG,

SAVE THE BEST FOWLS FOR
BREEDING.

1t is the worst possible policy to kill all
the best and handsOmest fowls, and save on
ly the mean and scraggy ones to breed from.
This is precisely the way to run out your
stock for like tends to breed like, and the
result is, that by continually taking away
the best birds, and using the eggs OF the
poorest, your aOck will grow poorer and
poorer every succeeding year.
1t would seem as though this was too
plain to be insisted upon, but, in fact, "hne
upon line is needed. 1t is the crying want
of the poultry upon the farms the country
thrOugh,-this careful and intelligent selec-
tion Of the best for breeding.
Nothing is lost by little self.denial to
start with. The extra pound or two of pOul-
try flesh that you leave on its legs, instead
Of sending it to the market, is as good seed,
and will bring forth tenfold and tWenty-iold
in your future broods. Save your best stock
for breeding Poultry World.

DIFFERENCE IN BUTTER.

When a wholesale dealer is questioned as
to the proportion of really fine butter he re-
ceives in his consignments, he replies,fve per
cent A larger proportion than this comes
to market as grease. The grocer will tell
you that Of all his stock good butter is the
most difficult to procure, and costs him more
time and trouble to select We know there
is no good reason why this should be so.--
Here and there scattered widely apart
throughout the country we know farmers to
make excellent butter, which would be classed
first quality in the market, and next door to
those are neighbors who would make trash
unfit for food. On the counters Of country
stores may any day be seen rolls Of butter
most widely different in color favor aud text
ure. One farmer is careful aud ceanly, his
wife keeps her dairy sweet and her pals and
pans perfectly pure; another keeps foul
stable, milks in an uncleanly fashion, has
musty feed and foul water for his COWS. while
his wife is equally careless in her dairy
How can the butter in these two cases be
other than widely different in quality and
value Ohio Farmer. ... ...

others, revealed the fact that the bees car
ried with themselves this important building
material. The segments Of the abdomen Of
bees overlap from before backwards and
beneath the margins Of these segments are
two broad, smooth surfaces, which during
part Of the year maintain two thin whito,
and yearly transparent amin@, which are
actually composed Of wax. The wax Is Sc
creted by small glands within the abdomen,
and cxudcs through the soft material between
the segments. Tho theory is that all sugary
matters digested by the bee are, to great
extent, formed into wax, and that this wax
is secroted like fat.
After the wax is thus elaborated, il is
worked with the mouth and kneaded with
saliva, until it acquires the requisite degree
Of ductiity for the construction of comb. In
this work the bees unite in groups. Each
one seizes a small amella Of wax, kneads it
into round ball and attaches it to the top
Of tie hive. After a sufficient number have
been placed in position, the cells are hollow
cd out by workers and formed into regular
hoxagonal shape by pressure. This figure
combines the greatest economy of space and
material. 1t has been estimated that twen-
ty-fvs pounds of honey are consumed for the
production Of one pound Of wax. This is
doubted now by some writer's on agriculture,
but all agree that much time, labor and ma
terial are employed in its production. This
fact, when understood, accounts for the mar
volous quantities of honey obtained from sim
gle stocks during one season, since the intro
duction of the extractor.
Each comb in hive is composed Of two
ranges Of cells backed against each other, the
base, or partition between being formed Of
alternate pyramidal cavities, forming the bot
tom Of each cell. In every wel-flled hive
there is a series of these combs placed Just
far enough apart to allow the passage of the
bees back to back. A comb when first COM
plcted is of dull white color, and not very
strong.
The bee is classed among the highest order
Of insects, and in some respects their instinct
seems to dllf,r but little from reason ITSELF
This appears most striking in their architec-
ture. Unlike most lower animals, they do
not blindIy follow their natural instinct, but
accommodate themselves to circumstances.
Thus they will build straight or crooked, up
ward or downward, laterally or otherwise, as
tho occasion seems to demand.-IoDa Home

TURKEY RAISING.

Farmers who live in large and sparsely-
settled districts abouuding in large dry pas
lures can afford to give the time Of a faith
tul and intelligent lad, the whole summer
through, to be devoted exclusively to rear
ing turkeys. The young broods must be
watched as constantly as ever shepherd
watches sheep in a region infested by wolves.
Every night, or during the day on tho ap-
proach Of rain, they must be driven to n
roomy shed with tight roof. The mother
birds, aud tho young can be soon trained to
being driven as easily as COWS arc driven TO
pasture. Give good forage ground, and
keep out Of rain and dew, and success is al
most ccrtain.-Thc Poultry World

second fifty miles. After the rest given the
mare-from scvcn until nine O'Clock in the
evcning-all parties on tho ground saw that
she would make her 200 miles easily. She
pursued her even gait, and few minutes
past one O'Clock completed the race, making
her last mile in nine minutes and thirty-ono
seconds. Thus she won the wager, and in
three hours less than the time gwen her.
She trotted of the track seemingly uncon-
scious Of the marvel she had performed.
While she was on her last mile, Mr.. Dyer,
partner to Mr.. Delaney, her owner, offered
to wager $1,000 that she would make the
last mile of the 200 in five minutes the
wager not being accepted the mare was al
lowed to 60 as she pleased

TWO HUNDRED MILE TRoT.

We find the following item in the st. Paul
papers
Tho Driving Park, at St. Paul, Mimi,
was, on the l4th and 18th of May, made the
scene Of an extraordinary trot, Mr.. Martin
Delaney matching his sorrel mare, a small
full-booded Morgan, to trot 200 miles in
forty-eight hours, for stake of 5000.
There is something, certainly, in man being
able to make 5000 in two days but when
the risk is considered Of damaging, forever,
a really valuable horse, worth at least TWEEN.
ty times this pitiful sum, the speculation
cannot be regarded as either wisev profit
able one, leaving the humane aspect out Of
the question.
The trot was commenced on the l4th inst,
at twenty minutes past four A. NJ, Mr.. j.
Cummings holding the ribbons. The mare
started out at rate of more than ten miles
an hour for the first two hours, and was
gradually slowed to about an average of ten
miles an hour. At five minutes past ten she
had completed the first fifty miles, making it
in some fvo hours and forty.fve minutes
She was then given rest Of three hours and
half, and was started at little past half
past one on the second fifty miles. At half
past seven she had completed it, having made
the first hundred miles in fifteen hours, which
left thirty-three hours for the completion of
the other hundred. She made the last mile
of her first hundred on the 18th inst, the
fastest Of any-6ve and one-half minutes.
The mare showed no sign of fatigue, never
swea.ed hair, and trotted off to the stable
TO feed at the end Of her days labor as brisk
ly as though she had just como from the
barn.
On Thursday morning, when taken out of
the barn at five o'clock to complete the trot,
she seemed little sore at first, but soon
warmed up, and commenced her days work
with wonderful ease At ten o'clock she
had completed thirty-ono miles, and was
withdrawn until four minutes past twelve p.
M. After this rest, in which she manifested
no signs Of weariness, she made her next
seven miles in one hour and two minutes,
No pains were taken to keep regular ac-
count Of her rate Of speed, but in general
terms ii averaged, through the day, about
six minutes and fvo and one.halP seconds pCr

HOW TO. MAKE CUCUMBER
PICKLES.

Put your pickles as soon as gathered in
salt, using about four or six quarts for each
bushel of pickles, and no water, as the salt
will draw brine from the pickles enough to
cover them. Put up in this way they will
keep for years. When you wish to make
them up for use, soak in warm water until
they are freshened then take one part vim
egar and two parts rain water, and add a
teaspooniul Of alum for each gallon put
them in brass kettle and lot thom come to
a boil, stirring occasionally; then skim out
and put in tho vessel they are to be kept in,
and cover them with good vinegar. In
about two days they will be ready for use
If you wish them spic0d, add spices when
you scald. Pickles made in this way will be
very nico, but the vinegar, acting on the
brass kettle, makes them somewhat poison,
GUS. If done in porcelain lined kettle
they will have no copper in them, but will
not be of SO lovely color. You can take
your choice. A few grape leaves in the
kettle, if the latter method is used, will help
the color

CARE OF FOWLS IN TRANS
PORTATION.

Among the many instances Of cruelty to
tho lower animals, we have occasion to mark
the incxcusablo negligence Of breeders in
sending fowls away on long journeys lily pro-
yidcd, or not all, with food aud drink. The
negligence is culpabe and, moreover, foolish,
for thereby the greatest damage is done to
the fowls themselves, and if the fact that
the animals will suffer painfully has no in
auencc upon tho owner, it would seem us if
tho selfish wish to avoid loss would have
some weight; for prolonged abstinence in
an animal feeding SO frequently as the do
nestle fowl, and subject to such extensive
draughts on the system, is olen followed by.
irromediublc injury to tho Constitution. We
would avoid breeding from bird that we
Ehdw had been thus treated, just as we would
avoid ono that had any great defect, such as
q bad form, producing weakly chicks, and
the like. Tho evils Of all undorfeeding arc
well enough understood; in this case, how
over, tho difficulty is increased by the sud-
denuess Of the shock, the fowl not having
time to accustom itself to it. What is said
of feeding is also true Of the supply of wa
ter. A healthy fowl will drink fifteen to
twenty times per day, in close coop, or in
hot weather still oftener. Therefore all pos
siblc pains should be taken to properly fast
en- water-cupS in the travelling cages.
If, however, fowl comes to hand-for
VIC will do the reader the honor Of suppos-
ing that he would not be guilty Of such an
offense-that has been deprived Of food and
drink for a long time we must remember
that the powers Of the system are lowered
that the ability to digest is diminished, to.
gcther with the general nervous power, and
that from the lack of material the amount
Of gastric juice is also lessoned. We must
therefore, for time, limit the supply of both
solids and liquids, and the food first given
should be quite wet. "Soppcd bread " is
recommended, and this is probably as goOd
as anything else. We would also endorse
the recommendation to soften the bread il
ale, if there appears to be unusual dopres
sion. This care ought to be extended dur
ing, at least, a couple OF days.-7He POnl

At the rear of our parlor, says DR.. Dio
Lewis, 1t was not very dark. Indeed wo
could sec to read small newspaper print at
the least lighted point, At that point we
put bracket against the wall, and trans
ferred to it plant from the window; in four
days it looked sick; in two weeks it was
yellow in five weeks it was apparently dead.
Another plant was placed on the center table,
which was about half way from the front
windows to the position of the first plant.
At the end of five weeks that had lost its
green, and was evidently failing, The girls
in our parlor, who were out not more than
an hour a day on an average, except they
went to places Of amusement in the evening,
were as pale, yellow and siokly as the plants,
and We think for the same reason--a lack Of
full, strong light,
