The common pea-bug (Bruchus pisi) is
widely known through the country tor its
depreciation on the pea, the inside of which
it eats, leaving the germ Different expedi-
ents have been resorted to to destroy it. One
is to scald it 10 death in the pea, by pouring
on boiling water, but some skill is required
to prevent destroying he vitality of the pea,
and some practice needed to know just how
long to leave the hot water on to kill the bug
and not kill the pea This remedy is not
entirely efhcacious, for it does not save the
present crop, and if peas are common in the
neighborhoI ID, the crop will be visited by
insects from other farms. Another remedy
is to barrel up the peas soon alter they are
threshed, in alr-tight barrels, and the insects
will die for want of air. Corklng tight In
bottles, and placing them in dark place,
answers the same purpose. The best reme-
dy, perhaps, is to SOW the peas late, or the
first week in June, which will throw the
growth to time alter the insects have dis
appeared. The crop will not be 50 heavy,
but the peas will be sound. There is no pea
that will withstand the attacks OF this bug,
and some of the preceding remedies must be
adopted.-Country Gentleman.

INDIAN Corn FOR HORSE FEED possesses
all the elements of warmth aud nutrition,
and is we'll calculated to supply the wear and
tear of the system of the hardest worked
horse, and keep him in healthy condition,
without any assistance from oats but the
usual addition of hay should be allowed to
horses. whatever be the feed that is in use.
By reference to the anal sis of corn, ir will

woody fibre or other inert substances. 1t is

mod fed and corrected as feed. and not to
be added to by greater concentration of nu-
trtive matter; or, in other words, add to
tie corn materials that do not contain, or as
least but in a small degree, those powerful
constituents that characterize Indian corn :;
and for this purpose We will recommend that
the corn be in minute division, Or ground
into meal, to insure greater diffusion 10 the
stomach, and less concentration than would
result by feeding it whole, and not mixed
with extraneous matter, as cut hay, or chaf
and d little bran. The bran is to prevent, or
At least modify, the costive or binding and
heating effects of the corn; the Oh Il or cut
hay is to give sufficient bulk to feed, thereby
tpng the bowels moist and the meal from
contraction. At the same time the horse has
feed before him of which he can eat his fill
without producing cramp or collie, which OIL

and mixing such feel, that forms the CHIEF
argument OF some stable men against feeding
with corn, aud IN favor of oats. A carriage
or saddle horse used for shopping or alter
noon rides or drives, can be kept in excellent
condition with six pounds Of corn meal, three
pounds OF cut hay, two quartsot wheat bran,
aud teaspoontul of salt. mixed with warm
water IN winter and cold in summer, the

the mess aud not to make SOFT feed or slop,

him for exertion. The above-named mess is
to be divided into three feeds-tor morning,
noon and evening. An addition of six OF
eight pounds of hay must also be given 10 the
rack. These quantities, however, are mere
ly approx mate for the old horse and one of
harder work will, to keep BIN IN good con-
Iitlo0, require an addition, and young ami
mails OF less work will not require so much.
Draught and hard worked horses should be
ed more generously, say 10 or 10 pounds OF
meal, with SIX to eight pounds of cut hay,
halt a peck of bran, and an extra allowance
Of hay in the rack at night. This amount Ct

Our table is spread for two..to night
No guests our bounty share;
The damask cloth is snowy white,
The service elegant and bright,
Our china quaint and rare;
My little wife presides,
And perfeculove abides.
The bread is sponge, the butter gold,
The mullins nice and hot,
What though the winds without blow cold?
The walls little world unfold
And the storm is soon forgot
In the frelght's cheerful glow
Beams paradise below.
A tairer picture who hath seen?
Soft lights and shadows blent;
The central figure of the scene,
She sits, my wife, my love, my queen
Her head little bent;
And in her eyes of blue
read.my bliss anew.
watch her as she pours the tea,
With quiet, gentle grace;
With fingers def and movements free
She mixes in the cream for me.
A bright smile on her face;
And as she sends 1t up
Ipledge her in my cup.
Was ever man before so blessed?

The passing thought she must have guessed,
For now dear lips on mine are pressed,
An arm is round my neck,
Dear treasure of my life

Sixteen pounds of Paris white. half pound
of white transparent glue, prepared as fol-
lows: The glue is covered with cold water at
night, AMI in the morning is carefully heat
ed-without scorching-until dissolved. The
Paris white is stirred in with hot water to
give it the proper milky consistency for ap-
plying to walls; the dissolved glue is then
applied with brush like the common lime

How To Use a GRINDsToNE .-First.
Don't waste the stone by running it in wa
ter but if you do, don't allow 1t to stand IN
water when not in use, as this will cause a
soft place.
Second Wet the stone by dropping water
on it from rot suspended above the stone,
and stop off the water when not 10 use.
Third Don't allow the stone to get out OF
order, but keep it perfectly round oy use of
gas-pipe or hacker.
Fourth Clean off all greasy tools before
sharpening, as grease OF OIL destroys the grit.
Filth Ob,er.e: When you get stone
that suits your purpose, send a sample of the
grit to the dealer to select by; halt-ounce

in some instances the tubers were diseased
when taken out of the ground; dust over
the floor of the bin with lime and put in
about six or seven inches deep of potatoes
and dust with lime as before. Put IN six or
seven inches of potatoes and lime again; re-

The TEErH.-In infancy, the mother
should make it a part of the daily care of the
child to secure the per ect eanliness of it's
teeth. Becoming thus accustomed to it, the
child, when old enough to use the brush, will
find it impossible to feel comfortable after a
meal until the teeth have been cleaned as
carefully az the face and hands. Small, soft
tooth-brushes, end pleasant dentifrces, are
now manufactured exa, thy suited for the pur-
pose; the e, if the habit of use is early form
ed, will soon become necessity to the child s
comfort and the practice thus commenced
will be almost sure to be continued through
