Senator Salisbury and the Back
Paw

The Commercial and other Radical paRers in
our State, on number of occasions referred to
Senator Salisbury in terms OF eensure, charging
him with 'pocketing the back pay &c. bnt
since they have learned that the Senator never
touched the "back pay" and refused to do SO un-
til by tho passage of the Senate bill through the
House, it reverted to the treasury again, they
have never had the fairness TO correct their mis-
statements.
Senator salisbury opposed and voted against
the passage.of the original bill. and never drew
the "back pay lie also advocated the repeal oi
tho bill and the reduction OF the salary 10 the old
rate. In addition hc advocated and voted for all
amendment TO reduce the salary OF the President
from $4,000 to $685. GOO. Thus MI Salisbury
record is just ssch as the people OF Delaware ap'
prove, and the Padical papers know this, and
hence they refuse TO correct the charges made
against him. This is unfair, but Il consisieHl

Useful Hints for the Home Circle.

To use a paperknife to cut open the
leaves of new book, keep your left hand
firmly pressed down upon the open page
while you hold your knife in the right.
This will prevent the edges of the leaves
from cutting rough and jagged. Cut
open the tops of the leaves before you
run the knife up the side edges, and cut
with short, quick, hard stroke The most
serviceable paper-knives are of ivory, and
without handle-the handles being very
apt to break.
Gold or silver embroidery may be
cleaned with sponge and warm alcohol
Dry, and rub it well with soft, new Canton
flannel.
The best thing for cleaning tin.ware is
common soda. Dampen cloth and dip
1t in the soda, and rub the ware briskly
after this wipe dry. Any blackened or
dirty tin-ware is thus made to look as
we'll as new.
1t is said that old and rancid butter
may be rendered palatable by washing it
in water to which a few drops of solu-
tion of chloride of lime have been added.
Those who have tried 1t say that moist.
en'ng the hands with glycerine at night,
and sleeping with oil-kid gloves on, will
whiten as well as soften the skin.
If very much heated do not wash your
face in cold water; use tepid water in.
stead, and in little while the redness of
the skin will disappear.
Vinegar and fruit stains upon knives
can be removed by rubbing the blades
with raw potato prior to cleaning them
for table use.
The best cordial for children is proper

ness; and the most eflicacious of all

AspAragus.

We advise all our friends who own a
garden or farm to plant bed of this most
delicious vegetable. There is no crop
more sure, and no vegetable more palata-
BILE at the same season of the year. Once
planted it continues to yield freely for
many years, and if well cared for will
produce large and fine stalks. There are
said to be several varieties; we think that
the soil and treatment make the difference
rather than the variety. Formerly the
one or two year old roots were set
quite deeply, say one foot deep in the
trenches; but within few years the prac-
tice has somewhat changed, as it cannot
be had so early by deep planting. We
should not advise planting it more than
four or six inches deep, preferring on
many soils four inches. The young
plants should not be covered more than
two inches deep when set, or they will be
likely to decay. The earth can be drawn
in gradually during the summer. The
rows may be three and half or four feet
apart, and the plants in the row about a
foot apart. Latterly some of the garden
ers have adopted the plan of planting in
stools some two feet apart, and treating
these stools as a stool or hill of rhubarb.
We doubt not larger stalks can be raised
in this way than by the old method. Salt
may be used to advantage on the beds.

The Plum CurculIO.

THIS insect belongs to the same family
as the Colorado potato beetle, but flies
much more readily; has the same way of
playing "possum" when you approach
or disturb him, and consequently is easily
caught by the thumb and finger on the
tree, or by jarring the tree, when
he falls to the ground like a dead
thing, but will soon crawl off or fly
away If undisturbed. The curculio is of
duh black or very dark brown color,
from one.half to three.quarters of an
inch ~ in length, The early morning IS
the best time to hunt him, as he does not
like to fly only IN hot, still weather, but
If they are any way plenty they should be
looked after three times day. | have
seen them fly from the woods to my trees,
mostly toward sundown of still, hot
day, so that one is not safe from them
even when none are propagated on his
own grounds.
There is not a particle of benefit TO be
derived from any wash or application of
any substance to the tree or ground on
which the trees grow, as the little Turk
"careth for none of these things"
In addition to killing all found on the
trees, pick up every plum that falls to the
ground and see that it is eaten or de-
stroyed, so as to leave no eggs to hatch or
larvs to crawl out into the ground or to
hybernate under the bark Of some tree to
start the breed next year. If one has a
large number Of trees it will pay him to
make curculio catcher, but will not
take room here to describe one. 1t may
be well to say here that the curculio
stings cherries and peaches almost as
readily as plums, and has been known to
sting the apple.
He must be looked after as soon as the
fruit sets, till the last of July, as in some
seasons there are two crops of the beetle,
but the greatest danger is when the fruit
Is about the size of pea. The cherry
does not fall, like the plum, when stung,
so that TO eradicate the beetle in one sea.

Birds and Animals Destroying Seed.

In the East, and in some of the wooded
portions of the West and South, crows are
regarded as great nuisance from their
propensity for pulling corn. In the
prairie regions the -blackbird is re-
garded as fully a match for the crow. In
all this but little account is taken oftheir
value TO the husbandman as the destroyer
of noxious insects which, but for these
and other larva-eating birds, would utter
ly destroy the hopes of the farmer. Va
rious remedies have been from time to
time advised to prevent birds from pull
ing corn after being planted, as tarring
and saturating with various nauseous sub.
stances. Unfortunately, in the West,
where nearly all the corn is planted by
machinery, this medicating sadly inter.
feres with the proper planting of the seed.
Where the plowing of land continues
through and beyond planting time but
little difficulty is experienced, for these
birds will not leave the pursuit of
larvm for corn. It is only when in
sects are scarce that they seek grain. One
of the easiest means we know to prevent
this pulling of corn, when birds seem
so inclined, is to scatter soaked corn in
the fields. This will be eaten by the
birds and the planted corn will be left.
Rolling the land over the corn is also
beneficial. Birds are often blamed for
the depredations of gophers, ground
squirrels and mice. These dig down and
take out the grain, birds only pull the
grain after it is up. The verminous ami
mails not only eat the grain before sprout-
ing but after 1t comes up, digging down
along the germ until they find the grain
After all, these little animals are of far
greater damage to our newly-planted
crops than birds, although these last, poor
things, have to bear the most OF the blame.
Moles, on the other hand, are not in
furious except in so far as they lift the
soil under growing plants in their search
for insects, since they are not herbivorous,
but mice often follow in their track and
eat tubers and roots, for which the poor
moles, like the birds, are often unjustly
blamed. Western Rural.
