FARM AND HOME.
Practical SuggestIons.

If a little lime is dissolved in the wa
ter applied to- the soil, nearly every
species of worm that is found will be
killed, and the plants not injured.
Tobacco will also destroy most kinds of
worms but lime is preferable, because
it aids in dissolv;ng the plant-food in
the soil. thereby stimulating growth.
Watering the plants with lime-water,
once a week, will be sufficient to kill
the worms in tue soil and stimulate
growth.
BEETs may be transplanted success
fully. The proper time to transplant is
when the root is an inch or more in di-
ameter, which will be in this month or
next. The tap-root should be cut off
and the leaves at the top. This will in
sure growth. The leaves, if left upon
the root, would draw all the moisture
from it, and the plant would die.
When the leaves are cut off half an inch
above the crown the evaporation cannot
take place, and the growth of root and
new leaves is simultaneous.
A NEATLY-KEPT cellar is a pretty good
guarantee OF health of the family whose
members are breathing the air from it
day and night. Everybody believes in
having pure air to breathe hut We are
sorry to tell the truth, that thousands
are breathing impure air on account of
foul cellars. What are the essentials of
a good cellar? 1t must be dry; it must
have stone walls outside and division
walls of either stone or brick; the floor
of cement, upon a foundation of cobble
stones previously imbedded into the
earth by means of heavy maui, handled
by twomen ;plastered ceiling and walls;
complete ventilation by al of large
windows. If these points are secured,
the cellar becomes the most important
room in the house.
THE simplest and surest remedy for
scours in a sucking colt is to give the
dam an ounce of prepared chalk once a
day in her feed. If the colt can be |
made to drink, half a pint of rice water
sweetened with crushed sugar may be |
given to it. The rice water is made by
a teaspoeaful of rice in a pint
Of water until it has become reduced
one-half. 1t shouldbe given warm. If
the colt will ottake it, four times the
quantity shoHld be given to the dam
once a day with the chalk. Possibly
the colt may be induced to eat some
boiled rice sweetened or sailed if so,
would be useful ; or it may be in
duced to lick some chalk mixed with
sugar or salt. Any of these methods
may be tried with probable success.
Mr.. POTTER WARREN, of New Hamp-
shire, at a recent agricultural conven-

method of reducing bones. If the

find a collection at the end of the wear
that will prove a valuable adjunct to

large kettle, mixed with ashes, and

In twenty-four hours all the bones,

softened as to be easily pulverized by

excellent form to mix with muck, loan.
or ashes. By boiling the shin-bones
ten or twelve hours longer, they will
also become soft.

sends US what he recommends as the
best cure for hog cholera known. The
recipe was first published in the Prai-

hog each time. This is the recipe

he has tried the above on a lot of fifty
hogs, and cured all that were able to

Prof. J. B. Turner also published the
following preventive in the same paper
in 1864, which correspondent says
he has seen used with perfect satisfac-

The North British Agricultural, in
an article OIL vermin on cattle, gives
some suggestions as how to treat the
pest. 1t would take time by the fore
top, and on the slightest indication of
their presence, make a prompt examina-
ton, and if lice are detected apply a
remedy. 1t is senseless, it says, to
wait until the unfortunate wretch has
removed the hair from his own skin and
spread his t~ormentors among his
fellows. The pediculi or lice, of which
every animal has its own peculiar
species, are not difficult to kill. A
good scrubbing with soft soap and
water will remove them. Linseed, OF
any other oil, prevents their migrating
and destroys them but the efficacy OF
the oil is increased when to every pint
is added an ounce of impure carbolic
acid, or of Burnett's zinc chloride solu-
ton. Decoctions of tobacco andstaves-
acre also poison the vermin, an onnce to
the pint of water being generally used.
Where the animals have been much in
a second dressing should take
place about a week after the first, and
brushing, cleanliness, and usually a
more liberal dietry, also enjoyed.

A Daring Burglary.
Jack Sheppard Outdone.
Is Berth in Town?
CONTINUED

If some enterprising genius would start a
Newgate calendar in New Orleans, we think
the gangs of thieves who inlest it would fur
nish ample matter, of such varied character,
as to completely over-shadow the great origi-
nal. Wednesday night, about 2, one Of the
petrated at the corner of Felicity and Pry
tania streets, in the grocery store of Mr.
Albert G.. Phelps, and as usual the police
were not on hand.
The entrance was effected by skilfully
cutting out panel of one of the back doors
and then forcing open an inner one leading
into the store proper.
After they bad succeeded in obtaining en-
trance, the burglars set to work on the safe
with cold chisel and drill, and at last the
lock succumbed.
The style Of the work, to speak. in police
terms, was excellent, and shows that only
experts could have had hand in it. Not
hole was drilled except such as was abso-
lutely necessary, aud every blow of the
sledge hammer was accurately directed.
The contents of the cafe was then thorough
~ examined, and the following securities
taken:
10 shares Mechanics and Traders Bank stock.
10 shares Mechanics and Traders Insurance COM
pany stock.
10 SD res Mechanics and Agricultural Fair Assoca-
ton.
share American M atallic Barrel Company.
100 shares ordinary Louisiana Levee stock.
Not satisfied with the haul from the safe,
the thieves ransacked every drawer tor
more, but failed to be rewarded, except
with an old pistol
When their work was ended, they re-
solved to have a quiet, good time; and
while the echoing raps of the policemen's
baton sounded on the outside, they opened
curacao and wine, and INDUCED in good
things generally to their hearts content.
When the lunch was ended they wrote the
following caustic inscription on the floor, in
blue chalk:
"Phelps-Offer reward for these papers,
"YOurs, BADGER"
There is something in this that smacks
of the old Jack Sheppard style Of doing
business, and plainly indicates in how much
contempt they held the police. When they
became sufficiently invigorated and refresh
ed after their labors, they quietly withdrew,
leaving every thing in confu sion.
This daring act, following SO closely as it
does the call for citizens police, speaks
louder than any argument in favor Of such
an organization.
Those wealthy citizens who refused to
come forward and share in the expense and
duties of an efficient police will in due time
by such acts be convinced.

Mr.. Beck, in the House Of Representatives
has introduced bill which, if it becomes a
law, will produce great change in the pre-
sent method of internal revenue collections.
The bill provides that any person charged
with having incurred fine, penalty, or for
fixture for alleged violation of the internal
revenue laws may go before the United
States Judge for his district, and plead that
the alleged violation was not committed
through willful negligence or with fraudu-
lent intentions. If he is able to prove this
to the satisfaction of the judge or of any
United States Commissioner or Internal
Revenue Collector to whom the Judge may
delegate the investigation, the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue shall have power to
remit the penalty which now attaches alike
to honest and fraudulent violators of the
revenue laws.

A SugGesliOn

We were pleased to receive from an old
resident Of the Third District, some new
ideas relative to the further improvement OF
running out Elysian Fields street to the
GENTLY road would be a great convenience
to large number of people, and there is no
doubt but what it is only a question of
time. .
The road bed of the double track of the
Pontchartrain line would afford an easy
grade, and the enhancement of the property
on the ridge ought to be SUI fcient to bring
capital. We wish the new project success.

BYRON AND VENICE. The Italians are
about to erect statue to Lord Byron in
Venice. This Wondering city by tue sea is
celebrated in many Of his songs, aud was the
place of his residence in Italy until the
charms Of the Countess Guiccilo attracted
him to Ravenna 1t is fitting that Italy
should render this recognition to poet who
has celebrated her in verses among the most
beautiful of the tributes which the poets of
all ages have laid ut her feet as mother of
nations and civilization, of law and language,
religion and art. Italy was a second mother
land to Lord Byron. She took him up when
he was east out by his native country. Al
though an Englshrlan to the core, the SEN
>uous and poetical Italian atmosphere was
far more congenial to his disposition than
English air, and Italy is much more asso-
ciated with his life and works than is his
native country.
