PARIS GREEN.

In the use, OF Paris Green On cotton,
as a poison for the caterpillar, and prob
ably until tho picl>in season is over,
there is some danger from tho effects Of
the poison. We, therefore, publish the
following rules to be applied in such
eases:
When tho poison is used care should
be taken that no stock of any kind, OF
oven fowls have access to the fields nor
to the vessels used for mixing; tho party
mixing must take care not TO haVc amy
scratches on his hands, rs II minute
particle of tho Green will often cause
malignant sores; the nostrils and mouth
ought tohc protected rs much MS posi-
bic while mining OF applying, (particu-
larry when used dry.
Tho Galveston News says that if any
bad effects attend tho use ofParis Green
''thc free Use Of milk is recommended ~
a beverages, but VIC have found hydra.

SAVING PEA VINES.

Some ycars ago believe found in the
Southern Cnltivator, the fullwing plan
for saving pea vines:
Cut your vines whenever ready; let
them lie in the sun Just long enough to
begin to wilt; then begin to roll up
in bundles similar in size to Il bale of
cotton; when as large as you desire, cut
them ofand begin again, cut off or roll
i'll the cn,ls, to keep them from getting
incpnvcnicntly long. l tried this in tho
fall and succeeded admirably. About
half a dozen bales were in :; very hard
rain. 1t made no change in those from
thc othCrs. l would suggest if the
weather is good, to lot them remain
out several days; turn them over occa-
siOnally; store them away III II house.
do no not know that it is necessary,
but | think l laid rails between thC
bundles. The only reason l have never
tried it again is, mover since have
! raised vines enough to mako Il balr.-J

Ernm tho Advocate, Ih.i
UHtit tho date of our last isssttc the
crop Of our parish was in a most excel
lent condition. The rumor, of the APP
i,ctrancc Of the cotton worm we thought
by no means alarming. But now from
SUcl, Information rs VIC have obtained
by careful inquiry, we feel sure that the
danger is greater than VIC nj first &pprc-
hcntica. Yet by no mCanC SO serious;
is some suppose. From the fncinur:,n>
ia Of 4 tricnd-a farmer OF Vcracity and
OF ..3,nity--wc extract the following
items: Isi 1865 the first general appear
ancr of tlic cotton worm was on the :27tl,
Of July; III 1860, July 2Sth; i'll 1870, July
2Gth; in 1871, July 18th; in 1872, July
9Th; and in 1873, August End. IN 1857,
thc most disastrous years since tho war,
no record was 'laie--thc general oIin-
ion seems To he that the first crop OF
worms WIS noticed about the 9Th OF
July ot that year. In each of the years
above stated the worms did no damage
until about twenty or twenty-five days
after the date Of their appearance. IN
1867 this delay was just sufficient to en-
able th"m IT, totally destroy the corn.
