Protecting Horses from Flies.

A French pharmaceutical chemist has
discovered woy to protect horses from
tie attacks of flies. His invention con-
sists in rubbing the horses, especially
on the parts most subject to attack,
with little concentrated oil of laurel.
There is not the slightest danger in its
use, and the cost is said to be very
small. Another repellant, suggested
by the same person, is solution OF %

avoirdupois) of asafetida in two glasses
of water and one of vinegar. If horses
be we'd washed with this, not fly will
settle upon them, as the strong odor of
the asafetida drives the flies away.
This drug has ~ deleterious qualities
as an external application, and may be
used unhesitatingly by horsemen.

How the Farmer should Wage War
Against the Chinch Bugs.

Against the Chineh Bugs.
A Kansas exchange says "On the
subject of the chinch bug we solicit In
formation for publication. This insect
is even worse than weevil, the Hessian
fly and the rust combined. 1t Is oneOf
those prolific breeders that produces
devastation by actual force of numbers.
A little observation Will teach any one
that they are to certain extent local.
The farm that is Oyerrun this spring
and summer with the nuisance must,
in the very nature of things, prove the
larva bed of the future chinch bug crop.
Under this phase of the case what
should be done? Is it necessary that
the farmer should cease to till his
ground, and thereby starve the bug
out Z? or would it not be more sensible
to inaugurate war on the insect, even
if it should prove to be an inch deep
over the farm? 1t is one of the most
permanent pests that attack all new
countries, and for twenty years waged
war on the farmers of Illinois. A sys-
tematic process of cremation In that
State reduced the insect to subsection.
Trenching between crops, and covering
the bottom of the trench with combust-
ible matter, hay or old dry grass, and
catching the crop on the migration from
field to field, will destroy them by the
bushel. The more yen destroy on the
farm The less Larvae you have for the
next crop, and In their passing from
wheat TO oats and from oats to corn, q
careful system of trap-trenching be
tween fields will leave the bug at YOU
mercy.
eve simply throw these thoughts
out as ideas we have gathered from
reading on the subject, and looking a
it from a common-sense standpoint
We want our readers to think and &C
on the subject of chinch bugs, and de
clare systematic war on them. Th'
army worm was circumvented by tn
trench, and after burning tine stubbl

The farmers of Douglas county ar
now making war on the chinch bug
Mr.. Ray digs trench as is recommends
above, perpendicular on the side of tn
field to be attacked. The upper edg
of the trench is rounded off and tar
spread upon it. The chinch bugs, in
migrating from the opposite field, al
thrown back by the tar into the trenc
where they accumulate and are d.
stroyed every morning. This remove
the bug effectively.
The following shows a method high

FARM AND HOME.
The II aral Lie.

The farmer who, in days OF old,
From house TO house his produce sold,
Well-ripened fruit and sheaves Of gold,
Seemed to ms children Of the town,
A trifie coarse and wOndrous brown.
We wondered how his ample.hand
Became so horny AMI so tanned,
And deemed his heavy SHOES would III
Befit the lieht-heeled dancers skill;
But they who meath his roof should try
The test Of hospitality,
His honesty without flaw,
His love OF liberty and law,
Would find. howe'er concealed from view,
The roughen'd diamond pure and true.
He need not mark with anxious eye,
The fiuctuant markets usury-
Nor had he need to watch or wall
The hChtness of the bakers scale
His own sweet leaves from ovens NAV,
Shall careful wife or daughter drew,
Well-pleased the household board 20 see
Crowned by her active ministry,
His fields of grain tbs richly spread,
His towering maize, with tasselet head;
His lowing herds that freshly pou.
The creamy nectar's balmy store;
The poultry roaming proudly blest,
The ivory treasures of their nest;
The bees that hoard in cone-lil e bower
The honeyed essence of the 10 ger;
Inc garden TOOlS that blOC bA1tlA tAAAics
The fruits that fall, the vines that climb;
A plenteous aliment supply,
Which even Partisan luxury,

Ard lustroas leaf surcharged with dew;
Its fbrOus stem the wheel shall stir

Aniwel such useful labors cheer

For she from home and distaff drew

But strength TO bear and will to do,
That kept neuralgia pains aloof.

Gained muscle firm by action free:
While buxom health and cheerful thought,
The priceless gifts of industry,
Inspired the vigor that sustains
The mystic nerves and flowing veius;
Lends to the cheek n rudy glow,
And keeps the forehead fair,
Even though chill age hath sifted snow

Corn Field.

ExPLANATIoN.-Figure one represents
a wheat field that the chinch bugs have
destroyed, and they start for the corn
field Gig. 81. The farmer has taken
the precautior to lay train of coal tar,
as represented at Fig. in the diagram.
At a distance of thirty or forty feet
apart in this train holes are dug. The
bugs will reach the tar but will attempt
to pass around it, and in doing SO will
fall into the holes, where they will ac-
cumulate to the depth of five or si1
inches, and can be destroyed.

PIC MIC AT THE BIG SPRING.

Few, indeed, are the occasions, where
pure and innocent pleasures are found
to as great degree as at social Pic
Me, where friends take stroll together
in the country, and comlninge with
each other in intimate companionship.
What is more delightful, What more in
sympathy with our social natures, we
have never been able TO realize.
1t was our good fortune to be one OF
the happy throng, who on Friday after
noon of last week, wendell their way to
the Big Spring, to pass the evening
hours in walk to that delightful and
beautiful place, and to wander alongthe
Potomacs murmurng waters. The
party, consisting Of mere than twenty
young ladies and gentlemen, left town
about 3 o'clock, p. NJ, and soon arrived
at the Spring, where under the 'shady
shadows of the venerable trees, all
conventionaltes were laid aside, and
the entire party,-a very sociable one,
indeed entered into the enjoyment Of
themselves with such happy spirits, that
more agreeable time, We venture 10
say. has never been had at that old
pleasure grouud, in all the years Of the
past. Amusements Of various kinds
were INDUCED in,-some engaging IN
cro1uet, others in the innocent plays
common at such parties, while others
rambled along the banks Of the river,
all enjoying themselves in. the highest
degree.
As the sun was declining behind the
hills, the party assembled around a ia
bic, spread upon the green grass near
the Spring. laden with dainties and del
icacies OF all kinds, such as ice-cream,
cake, candies, lemonade, DC, Of which
abundance all partook with approaching
appetiles to the full satisfaction Of the
inner man.
After the refreshments amusements
were again resumed and continued, I'M
til twilight came, when the party re-
traced their steps, up the rugged cliffs,
thence to town, weary and tired, but
expressing entire satisfaction with the
success of the occasion as a truly happy
time. Nothing occurred 10 mar our
pleasure or sadden our hfarts,-but the
the nclancholyreflcction, that around the
same old spring in by-gone days, we
gathered with companions, whose happy
faces and cheerful voices, are seen and
heard no more.
All of our party willnever likely meet
there again, on such q pleasant occa-
sion, and if such should prove oar fate
however wide we may drift apart on the
sea of life,-fond memory will often
look back to the pleasures OF that day,
and recall with JOY our rambles and
reveries in the shady groves Of the Big
Spring, on the bank of the then not
"aH quiet along the Potomac,

Persons who have suffered for many years al

PRAYING WOMEN WASHED OUT.-A
special dispatch to the st. Louis Globe
dated Carthage, Missouri, June 20, says:
a deplorable affair occurred i'll this
city about nine o'clock last evening.
Ever since few weeks before the
last April municipal election the anti
license element of this city have kept
up what they call daily evening tenn
perance prayer meeting. Five weeks
ago in augurated the crusade. which
has been kept up ever since. For some
weeks the crusaders have been urgsd
by their masculine leaders to take in
Mr.. Griswolds establishment on their
daily evening round, but on account OF
his outspoken opposition to such a
course on their part. and fear of trouble,
they have left his premises unubStructed.
When it was known that they would
sing and pray, &c, in front OF his es;ab-
lishment without any difference, and
followed by such Of their hackers as
could muster courage to follow them,
when they knew beforehand it would
breed trouble. the ladies' came in double
file from Harper's saloon and ranged
themselves two aud three deep on the
outer edge of the sidewalk, under the
awning in front, and began TO sing
When he stepped to the door he called
to his clerks to bring him the hose, that
he was going TO sprinkle the awning
and the sidewalk, and when the nozzle
was turned upwards to the awning the
water fell back upon the crusaders, who
continued to sing for Il few moments
under the shower, when some men
went for the hose, and in twink!lng
was cut and several lively set-tos oc-
CURED. The ladies stopped singing and
commenced screaming, while the men
cursed and fought, and for few min
ntcs bloody riot seemed inevitable,
but owing to the interference OF the
marshal and mayor, and the forbearance
OF the majority OF the vast crowd OF
looKers-on, the tumultuous assemblage
dispersed without any serious injury to
any one more than few black eyes
and bruises. The ladies got out of
the muss they had stirred up s. quickly
as possible, so thoroughly frightened
that majority went home, while the
balance marched to the next saloon
and commenced singing.
