How to Destroy TObaccO-WOrms.

The tobacco-worm, says the Rural

which its name is derived, but is very
destructive to the potato and tomato plant.

known to those who cultivate the plant,
but our market gardeners and others sell

worms, but suffer them to prey upon their

used to destroy house-tlies, may be en-
ployed to kill the large moth or miller, the
parent of the potato or tobacco worm.
One of these female insects called horn
blowers" will lay several hundred eggs,
each becoming a destructive worm, and
the whole of this army tof voracious and
repulsive-looking insects may be prevented
by killing the parent. These large mill

Preparing Ground for Wheat.

August is a good time to kill briars,
bushes, weeds and grass, and clean land
thoroughly for seeding to wheat. Wheat
ground receives less attention in close and
careful blowing, narrowing, grubbing,
picking up and burning all brush, than
the importance of the crop demands. If
the plants were cultivated like corn and
cotton, after they are up and while grow
ing, less harm would result from defective
preparations OF. the soil before seeding but
no after tillage of any kind comes to the
assistance of feeble wheat plants, when
partly starved and partly shaded by grass,
weeds, or bushes. Not only should all en-
emies of this character be put out of the
way, but the earth should be deeply and
finely pulveriZed to develop the maximum
of food for the benefit of the expected
grain. The harvest cannot well exceed
the pains taken to produce it. Early plow-
ing has many advantages.
1t gives time for important chemical
changes to take place, and renders agricul-
tural salts available to support the crop
that would come too late, or not at all If
the ground be broken month or six weeks
later. At the North, wheat land is broken
in June, rarely so late as July, unless in
clever kept for moving or pasture, We
notice many foul wheat fields from bad
management. No one should raise cookie,
cheat, garlic, or weeds of any kind in a
crop of wheat, oats or barley. Have clean
land and perfectly pure seed, washed in
strong brine to kill smut germs, and one
can then harvest clean wheat. If all the
farmers in a county would agree to make a
common cause against all weeds, and sub.
stitute clover for weeds when grown for
the improvement of land, the yield of
wheat might be largely increased, while
the labor of subduing weeds would be re-
duced. Neat, tidy farming pays the best
and looks the best. Never sow a seed of
cookie, cheat or rye with wheat.

FIELD AND FARM.
Rich Russian Emigrants.

The arrival in this country of the Rus
sian Mennonites has created quite an eX-
element among the officers of those rail-
road companies that have lands to sell in
the far West. This immigration GER
tainly is most remarkable one, no set of
men ever having arrived here before so
well supplied with fundsas these Russians.
Hence their movements are destined to af-
feet to a considerable extent the territory
which they may elect to settle in. The
richest man among those who arrived by
the steamer Hammonia, from Hamburg,
ON Friday last, is q Mr.. Peter Isaacb, who
brings his wife and four children. This
gentleman brought with him Sl4O,OOO in
gold. and was the only one who came in
the first cabin. Another gentleman had
with him SCI, 900 in gold, while all the
rest brought from S4,0O0jto 5000, each
family averaging about 600. As there
were some twenty families in the steerage
this would make an aggregate of 10000,
which, with the money of Mr.. Isaack,
would give a total of $4,000 brought by
twenty families. The result of so rich an
immigration can hardly be over-estimated.
Another fact is worthy of note-the large
families of these Mennonites. One family
consists of twelve, one of eleven, one of
nine, two of eight, one of seven. three of
six, one of five, three of four, five of three,
and five unmarried persons-making to-
tai of siXty-n1ne children ana tOrty-one
adults. Their destination is some point
in Dakota though many, influenced by
the representations of Tom Scott himself
and his European agents, will settle on
the line of the Texas Pacific Railroad.
Tom Scott, now in Europe negotiating the
bonds of the Texas Prcific has not had,
however, such q success with the Russians
as he anticipated, most of them being I'M
willing to listen to the glowing representa-
lions made to them by all sorts Of rail-
road agents, very sensibly preferring to
examine for themselves the lands they are
TO settle, and to study the country they are
to inhabit. They are quiet, moral, inof-
fensive people, self-denying and economi-
cal, and although they do not bring with
them much in the way of talent or educa-
ton, in fact, none of the latter, they will, by
their united action, make whatever points
they colonize thrifty, and rapidly build
up the country around them.-NctO York

Chicken Canes.

A number of agricultural and other pc
riodicals have been describing a way of Ia
king the gape-worms out of chicks with a
horse-hair. 1 tried that years ago, but
could not get them out clean. tried diff
ferent remedies, but none gave me entire
satisfaction. Now, for the last two years,
I have used timothy head. / get the
chick between my knees, and hold it there.
then, with my left hand, get hold of its
lower mandible, and stretch the neck up
straight, and, by so doing, I can see the
worms working in the windpipe; then
insert the grass stem with my right hand,
between my thumb and forefnger, rolling
it round steadily until it is down below the
worms pulling it out then, have all the
worms sticking fast, or have them all
loose, so the chick will sneeze them out
and give immediate relief 1 do not lose
one out of a hundred with the gapes. You
will find, inclosed, grass-head that I have
used on over fifty chickens this summer
and have not lost one.-Erchunge.

Bones.

A writer in the HorticultlriSt buys bones
of q butcher at a dollar the hundred
pounds, and considers them the cheapest
fertilizers he can obtain. He transforms
them into meal by the following process :
81 have q large water-tight hogshead
standing out doors, near the kitchen. In
the Spring L cover the bottom about six
inches deep with dry soil. On this L put
layer of bones about the same depth,
and cover them entirely with unleached
ashes On these another layer of bones,
then ashes, and so on until the hogshead
is full. l leave it then exposed to sun
and rain all Summer and Winter, and
until the next Spring. Then, on remov-
ing the contents of the hogshead, l find
nearly all the bones so soft that they will
crumble to powder under very slight
pressure, and they give very nice little
pile of most valuable manure, ready for
immediate use. Any of the bones not
sufficiently subdued, 1 return to the hogs
head again for another twelve mouths
slumber.

Distemper In Horses.

The proper treatment for distemper or
strangles is, upon the first symptoms, TO
keep the animal warmly clothed, ana the
water given it should have the chill taken
off; thin cruel also should be allowed, 10
keep the bowels open.
AS the glands (pOrOtidi beneath the ear
swell, and tumOrs form, "a poultice of Slip
perry elm, linseed, lobelia, and poplar bark,
equal parts, moistened with vinegar and
water, should be used.
This may be placed between cloths and
bound around the throat, applying it to as
large q surface as possible. Relief may
also be given 10 the passages of the head by
pouring four ounces of tincture of lobelia
and pint of vinegar slowly upon a a red
hot brick or flat stone, and causing the an
imal to inhale the steam, As the disease
progresses there will be more or less dis
charge from the nostrils the saliva will
How from the mouth, and the poor brute
will sometimes suffer great agony.
If the bowels become inactive, relief may
be obtained from an injection composed of
four drachms powdered aloes one drachm
common salt, and two quarts of hot rain
water.
When the tumOTs are ripe. which may
known by their having soft place where
the matter is formed, they should be
lanced, and relief will generally follow. In
using the knife, do so fearIessly. taking
care not to cut too deep. If the animal
has refused food before. he will now usual
ly drink Cruel, which may be freely given.
The discharge of pus may be increased by
bandaging the tumors moderately tight.
The parts should not be sponged with a
cold Infusion of bayberry bark. AS the
patient begins TO improve, Use the follow
ing embrocation One pint meats foot oil,
four ounces spirits camphor and three
ounces pyroligneOus acid, TO be applied "a
