Autumn Work in the Garden.

No SEASON is so favorable as autumn
for making general improvements in the
garden. Our Indian summer weather, the
mellow haze of autumn, is not equaled by
! anything we ever experienced in any part
! of the world Our springs are short and
unpleasant; cold, rain and mud, with an
occasional fine day to remind us of what
spring might be, is our usual fare All
important changes in the garden should,
therefore, be made in the dry, pleasant
weather of autumn, as work can then be
done better and cheaper than at any other
time. Dig up and put IN order every va
cant bed, as it will not only facilitate
spring work but do the soil good and give
the garden neat and tidy appearance.
Early autumn is the best possible time
for rearranging beds of herbaceous plants,
such as hollyhocks, delphiniums, paonies,
etc. Roots can be divided without injury
and generally with great benefit to the
health of the plants. Lilies and all hardy
bulbs can also be removed and replanted
as soon as the leaves begin to ripen. All
beds of hardy bulbs, such as hyacinths,
tulips, etc., should be made as early as
the bulbs can be procured, which is gen
orally about the latter part of September.
Plants that are tender in the North, such
as trltomas, pampas grass, and anything
not quite hardy that it would be desirable
to save over the winter may be secured in
pits dug in the soil, say three feet deep,
and covered with sash. A great portion

The Intelligence OF Ants.

NJ. AUGUSTA FoREL, a gentleman who
spends his life in studying ants and their
habits, and who tells some astounding
tales about them, has just received the
Thore prize from the Paris Academy Of
Sciences. In his report upon these in
sccts NJ. Forcl first examines the different
species and their pccuIiarities and treats
Of their distinctive features as regards
their capabilities for labor or war. He
then treats them anatomically, and then
speaks of their wonderful instincts. If
all that he says be true the word instinct
would be too feeble by half, and all should
believe in the intelligence of sDts.
"Ihey render each other mutual services
when an ant has got besmcarcd with mud
its companions set about cleaning it most
methOdiCally. NJ. Forel had, by way of
experiment, dirtied and dclormed some of
the silken cocOons that contain the ants
nymphs; on the following day he found
them all perfectly clean, dressed and
brought in shape again. What has been
said by Huber as to the precision with
which an eXpeditOnary column Of Anna
zones tpolyerqpS rlTeSceHS) proceeds on its
march IS only partially true, for when the
insects are laden with heavy cOcOons they
cannot mind any order, but 70 on as they
can. Under such circumstances many
lose their way, but when they get into the
right track again they evince the greatest
selt,contidence by their steady step; they
consequently are endowed with memory.
The battles of ants have been often de
sCribed, but even here NJ. Forel has some
thing new to say. Some species are timid
and Cowardly, and always seek safety in
flight; others are exceedingly brave and
seem to enjoy fight above all things.
But then there are others whose courage
requires exciting; they hesitate at first,
but gradually become holder, and ulti-
mately display foolhardiness-in a parox-
ysm Of rage they will let themselves be
uselessly killed. When an ant thus loses
its self-cOmmand its companions will try
and keep it back by its feet until it has re
turned to its senses. The architecture of
the nests has received much attention
from the author, and he shows that the
same species will build in different ways
The locality, the season, the extent of the
population-all these circumstances re-
quire special arrangements. The ants
will quarrel among each other about con.
structions that are not equally convenient
to all. When ants find habitation unoc-
cupied, or have driven the inmates from
it, they will retain the old arrangements,
making only slight Improvements in
Them,

Kindness to Mich Cows.

ONE of the greatest errors in OverCOm.
ing cows that are unquiet while being
MIXED is to whip, beat and brawl al
them. This is generally done; and the
COW becomes afraid and angry, and, in
stead of becoming better, gets worse. They
dislike to be MIXED for they know that
loud words and hard blows always attend
-I,~ ~r~-"tivLl. Tiny uIUuu SEE Tit
mixer as the little urchin breads to see
the birchen rod in the hand of an angry
pedagogue, when he expects to have it ap.
piled to his person. A COW mildly and
properly treated is pleased to see the
mixer, gladly awaits his or her approach
and submits with pleasure to the operation
of being MIXED
Every one having experience with cows
is aware of this fact. But the COW is OPP
posed to a change of mixers; she soon be.
comes attached TO one person who per,
forms the operation, and does not willing
ly and freely give down her milk to an.
other person; therefore, have one mixer
to certain cows, and bear in mind if you
change mixers it is at the expense of a
loss of milk and of inj ury to the COW.
All animals appreciate kind treatment
and resent abuse. See that those who
handle them control themselves, govern
their passions, talk low and quietly under
almost any provocation, and soon the
COWS will learn that they are not going to
be abused, and will submit to the opera,

About Bananas.

Few people who see bananas hanging in
fruit stores think of them as more than a
tropical luxury. In fact they are a staple
article of food in some parts of the world,
and, according to Humboldt, an acre in
bananas will produce as much food for
mau as twenty-five acres of wheat. 1t is
the ease with which bananas are grown
which is the great obstacle TO civilization
il some tropical countries. 1t is so easy
to get living without work that no effort
will ever be made, and the men become
lazy and tOlerably shiftIess. All that is
needed is to stick cutting in the
ground. twill ripen its fruit in twelve
or thirteen months, without further care,
each plant having seventyfive to one hun,
bred and twenty-five bananas, and when
that dies down after fruiting new shoots
spring up to take its place. In regions
where no frost ever reaches bananas are
found in all stages of growth, ripening
their fruit every month and every dav in
the year Col Whitner, near Silver Lake,
Fla, has probably the largest banana
plantation in the United States, contain
ing fully 10000 plants in bearing. Some
of these are large trees, which do not die
after bearing their fruit, but the majority
are Of the dwarf species, which are re-
newed every year. Slips are planted
about eight feet apart, and rapidly push
up leaves, disclosing six or eight small
bananas behind this protection. Some
plants will have sixteen or twenty leaves
and branches Of fruit, bending over as it
ripens, forming most beautiful sight
The culture of bananas is very profitable,
and with the unlimited capacity of Flor
ida and the West India Islands for pro-
ducing it there should always be a sup
ply equal to any possible demand.-Rural

Facts Worth Remembering,

IT is worth while for all farmers, every
where, to remember that thorough culture
is better than three mortgages on theil
farms.
That an offensive war against weeds is
five times less expensive than defensive
one.
That good fences always pay better than
lawsuits with neighbors
That hay is a good deal cheaper made
In summer than purchased in winter.
That more stock perish from famine
than founder
That horse who lays his ears back and
looks lightning when anyone approaches
him is vicious. Don't buy him.
That scrimping the feed of fatting hogs
is waste of grain.
That over-ted fowls won't lay eggs.
That educating children properly is
money lent at 100 per cent.
That one evening spent at home in study
Is more profitable than ten lounging about
country taverns.
That COWS should always be MIXED req
ularly and clean.
That it is the duty of every man to take
good, reliable, entertaining paper, and
pay for it promptly, of course.-Erch auge

Judging Horses.

The purchasers ofhorses for the French
army always endeavor to obtain first

and in the stable; noting if the animal
supports itself equally well on all its legs.
and if one seems to yield to especially ex
anime it. Attention is then directed to
the largeness of the pupil of the eve,
which ought to be more exposed to full
light. After the animal has been led out
of the stable the eye ought to be again
examined; observe, has the pupil con.
tracted-if not, the sight is feeble. 9th.

The Wheat WeeyiI.

THERE is wrong impression as to the
character of this insect (Calandra Gran
arta), and especially in reference 10 the
| time Of lite rhinf DOR - 1850 S"i'N
| early in the spring, while wheat was not
yet in blossom, reports came from some
| interior counties that the wcevil was thus
early committing extensive depredations.
From many other localities we heard sim
liar reports, but little later in the season.
These were founded in misconception, for
the truth is the weevil properly preys only
upon the grain, commencing its ravages
about the time of its ripening and c0ntin-
uing them long after it is gathered into
the granary-hencc the name Of grain or
granary weevil. The grain-weevil in its
perfect state is dark or pitchy red
winged beetle, or bug, about one-eighth of
an inch long. 1t has a slender proboscis
or snout, curving a little downward. The
thorax, or chest, constitutes about one
half Of its body, and is nearly as large as
the abdomen, or belly, lying back of the
middle ring. The thorax is punctured
with large number Of holes, giving it
rough appearance. Over the abdomen
are delicate wings, which are shielded by
wing-covers, having lines or burrows upon
their upper surface running parallel
with their length. The wings do not
entirely cover the tip of the abdomen.
The female punCtures the ripening or
ripened grain with her beak or rostrum,
and deposits one, and sometimes two,
eggs. From the egg is Matched a grub.
or worm, which eats its way into the grain,
closing up the aperture behind it with ex
crement so that it lies perfectly shielded
from external injury. No mechanical ac-
ton short of crushing the kernel can dis
turb the destroyer. They are effectually
destroyed by kiln-drying the grain. This
worm, or grub, grows to about one-twelfth
of an inch in length; its body is white and
soft, with nine rings around it. The head
is small, round, yellow-colored and pro-
videa with cutting instruments. Arriving
at maturity, which is not till after the
flour portion of the wheat kernel has been
principally devoured, this worm, or lar
vac, assumes nymph Or chrysalis state
Qike that between the worm and the but
tertly), and within two weeks after the per-
feet weevil is formed, which eats its way
out through the shell and goes forth to de-
post its eggs, in turn, upon other sound
Kernels They are very productive, a
single pair often multiplying 5000 or
5000 in a single year. Both the perfect
insect and the grub feed upon the grain

A Tornado Experience.

IL its account of the recent tornado in
Peoria and Knox Counties, the Peoria
Qll.) Transcript relates the following in
cident:
AT the time the storm struck the cross
road, near Epperson's, Mr.. John Cham
bers, living quarter of mile north, was
going home with an empty hay-wagon, on
which were himself, two boys. aged four,
Cloud. 1t was nearly dark, but Mr.. Cham
berS saw the storm coming, drew up to
the hedge and, giving the lines to the ED
est boy, told him to hold tight while he
leaped off and took the animals by the
head. No sooner had he touched the
ground than he was whirled into the hedge
and held helpless. The horses went on.
Presently he saw them coming back.
There was lull, andh managed to speak
to them and then take them by the heads,
Just then came terrible gust, lifting him
self, horses and wagon into the air. The
off horse was thrown over on his back
the near one was thrown on him and Mr.
Chambers between them. The wagon was
turned bottom-side up. One boy and
Cloud were blown away into the hedge
while the other the elder, was caught and
pinned by the wagon to the ground. L
was intensely dark, except at intervals o.
lightning, during which Mr. Chambers
took in the situation For a time neither
Mr.. Chambers nor the horses could getup
Finally the animals got to their feet ant
went off, dragging the overturned hay-car
with the boy beneath it. As soon as Mr.
Chambers could make Roadway he crawleC
! after his team, and soon came upon hi
! insensble son thrown into ditch, hi
face lying in the water and he, TO all ap
pearances dead. He got down into thu
ditch, all the time fighting the wind
and pulled him out. Water and mud raj
/ out of the boys mouth, but he gave NJ

I others, but in the turmoil of the element

one he had left in the road lying in scvera
inches of water now flowing along tn

success. As the little fellow came to hi

Interesting Town.

a CORRESPONDENCE of the Boston Journal
writes: A few miles away from Shelter
Island, on the eastern end of Long Island
lies the ancient town of East Hampton.
1t consists of one long street, on which
were formerly the houses, the old church
and two burying grounds, one at each end
of the town, laid out in the form of a
coffin. The people were buried in the
middle Of the street, with their faces to-
ward the west. But one tombstone faces
the east, and that is over the grave of the
old minister. Rev Mr.. James He or
dered his friends to bury him in that posi-
ton that he might face his congregation in
the resurrection. This fact is recorded on
his tombstone. The Old Beecher man
sion remains as 1t did in the early years of
| Lyman BeeCher's ministry. 1t is large
sized, two-story mansion, end TO the street,
the sides covered with shingles after the
old manner. But internally it is entirely
! changed. The door is in the center of the
house, and the right-hand lower room was
DR.. Beechcr's study. a huge forest tree
rises in stately proportions above the
dwelling evidently older than the minis
try of Dr. Beecher Near this house is
the dwelling of J. Howard Paine who
wrote " Home Sweet Home" He was
born in the town, educated in the academy
and wrote his celebrated lines in the
dwelling which still remains. 1t is an
old-fashioned wooden building, the walls
of the parIor being ceiled, and an ancient
buffet, carved, occupies a corner of the
room. Nobody seems TO know anything
about Mr.. Paine, what room he wrote in,
or anything of the circumstances connect
ed with his early or later years. Had he
ka%Hr'wUuId not have been any more a
stranger 10 his native place than he is now.
/ Talmage has his summer residence in this
town. 1t is a plain cottage in sight of the
| ocean, without a shade-trce or shrub any,
where around it. The house was built by
his brOther-in-law. The ocean view is a
fine one from the house, but the deserts of
Sahara are scarcely more desolate.
