THE STRIPED BUG.-A York State man
during quarter of century invariably
saved his cucumbers from the striped bug BY
scattering few kernels of buckwheat around
the hill at the time of putting in the seed.
The buckwhea comes up in advance of the
vines, throws protecting shade over them,
and should be rooted out when the cucum-
bers are large enough to be trusted alone.
Peter Henderson says that he has found the
pest in question to yield readily to few
applications of bone dust, which serves a
double purpose Of disturbing the insect and
encouraging the growth of the crop, be it
melons, cucumbers or squashes. Dustings
when the dew is on, of dry wood ashes, or
Paris green, or salt and lime or SCOT are al
50 recommended by different authorities.

USE OF CHARCOAL. this season of
tue year one desires to obtain some purifier.
and charcoal is of the greatest value for the
purpose. All kinds of utensils can be pu-
riGed from disagreeable odors by rinsing
them out with charcoal dust wet into soft
paste. Putrid water is Immediately de.
prived Of its smell by its use. When meat,
fish, etc., are liable to become spoiled from
long keeping, charcoal dust will keep them
sweet and if there is slight faint to meat
it can be taken out by putting three or four
pieces of it as large as an egg into the water
in which it is boiled. This will effectually
purify that which seems too far gone for
use.

PLEADING.

Give me thy faith, that, looking down
The misty vale of years,
I, too, may see our dear life's crown
Repaying present tears.
Give me thy faith so firm and strong,
Thy trust so large and free,
To feel the years that roll along
But bring me nearer thee.
Give me thy hope to charm away
My life's untold regret,
And whisper to my heart it may
Know loves own gladness yet.
Give me thy hope so warm, so dear,
So sunny and so sweet,
To teach my heart with olden cheer
And newborn life to beat
Give rue thy patience, dear, to wait
Till from Times hand hath flown
The GROWING hour designed by Fate
To blend our lives in one.
Give me thy patience, hope and faith

But am weary unto death

WHAT YOUNG LADY DID LAST YEAR.
The Delaware county (Pa } American
gives the following account of a young la
dy's success in poultry raising:
I'm Concord a farmers daughter. during
the past year, had the care of the poultry
yard. In the spring she commenced with
about sixty fowls, Of the common breed H.
GLIDING one Dominique rooster and several
hens OF that stock. She also had two roos-
tiers Of the Partrid ge-Cochin breed From
these she raised $50 chickens When they
were young,s h. fed them on cracked corn, but
when Fateening, gave them whole corn and
Indian meal During the season she sold
eggs to the amount of $50, and from Sep
TENDER Goth to January 18th, she got rea-
dy for market $50 rairs of chickens. which
she sold for $3.50, making IN all, $780,
She thinks the Dominiques much the best
for market, but they are not hardy when
young. She has some young hens of the
Partridge Cochin breed which weigh 6, T.
and pounds each It will be seen from
this statement what may be done by proper
attention to poultry, the profit being per
haps greater than almost any branch of farm
ing. 1t also shows that the business is one
in which females may engage with success.
The time occupied in caring for sixty or a
hundred hens doesn't average more than an
hour or two day The exercise is light
and pleasant. and the change from house
hold duties rather agreeable than otherwise

an occupation both profitable and interes
