oar Apples in England.

Nothing astonishes the English more
than our system Of barreling apples. In
that country the crop is placed thinly
on shelves, in lighthouses constructed
especially for the purpose, and no one
thinks of sending them long distances to
market. Our Rhode Island Greetings
and Baldwins, therefore, which now 60
there in immense quantities. surprise
them considerably. A good deal of this
is, perhaps, due to the varieties we send
there. A few years ago the Newton
Pippin was the great American apple in
the London market; but, since the fail
ure of that variety. those two named
have in a measure taken its place. 1t is
not, however, that those apples should
reach the English market in such excel
lent condition after being merely bar
relied up that so astonishes the English ;
the price is also wonder, for, after
being sent SO far, they can still be sold
at a price the English can hardly touch
with their own fruit. This fact speaks
we'll for the progress of American fruit
culture.-Phitadelphia Press.

An Enemy to the Grub Worm.

Prof. G. V. Riley, State Entomologist
has of late been receiving large mum
Der of letters from farmers In various
parts of the State, making inquiries
concerning a curious phenomenon. II
appears that the white grub-worm, 6
great destroyer of grass. corn, potatoes
and other vegetable products, has been
attacked by an enemy, which threatens
its determination. The Professor ha:
received numerous specimens, having
two sprouts of green vegetable growth
growing out of the head of the grub, one
on either side, resembling hogs tusk
in shape. The fang protubes through
the earth, and presents every appearance
of vegetable growth. The worms thus
attacked die, and the Professor is of the
opinion that the disease will materially
decrease the numbers of this green pest
of the husbandman, if it does not totally
eradicate it.-& Louis Times.

shine, nor keep them exposed to the sun
or wind. Do not collect them in large
bundles, or tie them together, as this
hastens their decay. Do not pull them.
but cut them clearly of the plant with a
sharp knife-not with scissors. When
taken indoors, place them in the shade,
and reduce them to the required length
of stalk with sharp knife, by which the
tubes, through which they draw up
water, is permitted to ascend freely ;
whereas, if the stems are bruised or lac
Grated, the pores are closed up. Use pure
water to set them in, or pure white sand
in a state of saturation, sticking the ends
of the stalks into it, but not in crowd
manner. If in water alone, it ought to
be changed daily; and thin slice
should be cut off the ends of the stalks
at every change of water.

Thoroughbred Hogs Pay.

Nothing can be more penny-wise than
the practice of many of our farmers OF
breeding from scrub or grade bears. To
the farmer who breeds ten or more sows,
thoroughbred boar is cheaper at $50
than grade for nothing, even if the
hogs are all to be fattened. A single
dollar on each pig would make up the
money and l Am confident that in many
cases I have seen . difference of five dol
lars each with the same care between
thoroughbred hogs and those that have
been bred hap-hazard. On hundreds of
farms to-day can be found stock hogs q
year old that will not weigh over eighty
pounds each, and that are not ten pounds
heavier than they were in December,
and if offered for sale now would not
bring more than five and half cents per
pound-and they have probably con-

sumed a. much grain As the breeds OF
hogs that at the same age weigh two
hundred pounds, and are worth seven
cents per pound.
Certainly if farmers would look at it
in the right light, they could not fail to
understand its importance. We should
look at our stock as so many machines
to be used in condensing our grain, 10
that it may be more easily taken to mar
ket, and at the same time increasing its
value. If the miller should return us
but thirty pounds of meal for bushel Of
corn delivered him to grind, the opera
ton would not be needed to be repeated
the second time to induce US to change
for another, although we were obliged to
60 a greater distance; but farmers will
go on year after year, breeding without
any plan or system, feeding bushel of
corn to receive in return what would
buy half bushel, and yet never sus-
pecting that by SO doing they are not
only keeping themselves poor, but also
showing great lack of wisdom. l read
an article lately that put the matter in
a plain light. 1t represented farmer A
as offering his neighbor, farmer B, ten
cents per bushel, less for his corn than
the regular market price. Farmer B
resents it, and asks if he takes him for a
fool. To which farmer A answers that
he supposed from the fact that he had
been doing this very thing for years, by
feeding such stock as he kept, that he
was indifferent as to the price he receiv-
ed. The man who is carefully breeding
pure stock is public benefactor, and
ought to be well paid for what he offers
to the public, for it is valuable. Such
men should be patronized and encour-
aged, for the farmer cannot afford to do
without them. Ii the good time coming
more attention will be paid to this mat
ter than at present. Not only should
this question be discussed in the grange,
but the members should cooperate and
purchase such animals as will improve
their stock.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Treatment Of Heifers.

The longer the young COW, with her
first and second calf, can be made to
hold out, the more surely will this habit
be fixed upon her. Stop milking her
four months before the next calf, and it
will be difficult to make her hold out to
within four or six weeks of the time OF
calvins afterwards. Induce her, if pos
sible, by moist and succulent food and
by careful milking, to hold out even up
to the time of calving, if you desire to
milk her so long, and this habit will be
likely to be fixed upon her for life. But
do not expect to obtain the full yield of
a COW the first year after calving. Some
of the very best cows are slow to develop
their best qualities; and no COW reaches
her prime until the age of five or six
wears

The Care of Winter Clothing.

In few days the moth, so destructive
to furs and all wooden goods, will make
its appearance. So soon as furs and
heavy wooden goods are laid aside for
the season, they should be carefully
brushed, summed and then put where the
moth cannot get at them. Cedar chests
and closets are used by many people,
but those who do not possess these can
use bags of brown paper. The garments
are to be laid nicely in these, and then
the bags sealed up with paste. Moths
cannot get through paper. If sewed up
carefully in linen they are also secure.
1t is said by those who have tried it
that the very best way of securing WOOL
ems from moths is to put them in bar
rel from which alcohol has just been
emptied, and head the barrel up tightly.
Should moth egg have been deposited
in any fold of the garment thus put
away, the infant larva would be smoth-
cred in the first moments of its existence
by the fumes of alcohol. Careful sewing
up of woolens in linen bags or FASTING
them up in paper bags will give greater
security from the moth than camphor,
cayenne pepper or tobacco.
Housekeepers need to be careful dur
ing this month to remove all old WOOL
ems from the premises, either to work
them up into rugs and carpets, to sell
them or to bury them in the earth for
manure and thus leave no breeding
places for moths.

Cost Of Raising Horses.

The Agricultural Department having
made inquiries as to the cost of raising
horses, in each of the various states, re-
ports as follows:
In the middle states the maximum
cost of wintering horses, s4s per head, is
in New Jersey; next in order stands
Delaware, $43: New York, s37; and
Pennsylvania, $36. Delaware farmers
last year, received the highest average
price for hay, $40 per ton, and those Of
New York the lowest, $3.50. New
York received the maximum price OF
corn, SO cents per bushel. and Delaware
the minimum, 20 cents. The price OF
oats ranged from 81 cents in Delaware
to 60 in New Jersey. Averages Of east
ern states were as follows: Maine, $37
New Hampshire, S37; Vermont, $3s
Massachusetts,, SIS; Rhode Island, s4S
and Connecticut, SIS.
West of the Mississippi the average
cost of wintering ranges from 50 in Kan
sas, to s2S in Minnesota Iowa averaged
SIG; Missouri $12, aud Nebraska s13
Farm prices of hay vary from 1886 in
Kansas to $12.05 in Missouri. The
cheaper hay of Kansas ar l Nebraska is
mostly made from the wild grasses of the
prairies. Corn ranges from 43 cents per
bushel in Iowa to 81 in Kansas, and oats
from 80 cents per bushel in Iowa to So
cents ir Kansas.

Wool Growing Will Pay.

There are large farms in West Vir-
ginis, partly lying idle which could be
made to pay by keeping sheep. Mr.. c.
H. Beall, of Brooke county, one of the
largest wool growers in the State, owns
5000 head of sheep. In the summer he
will rent pasture all around him for
miles, letting his own grow up for win
ter pasture. His wool last year brought
him the little sum of $1,000. By allow
ing his pasture to rest during the sum-
mer, his sheep do not require more than
two-thirds as much feed during the win
ter, and his sheep always look we'll. He
is breeding the present fall about 1850
ewes. have seen $50 ewes in one field,
with 1O3 lambs belonging to them. He
does this by paying attention to his
ewes. suppose his income by his sheep
would amount to $4,000. give the
above facts and figures to show ovr
farmers who have four or five or proba-
bly, one thousand acres, partly grown up
in pine bushes, with eight or ten head of
cattle running over nearly the whole
farm, that instead of letting the land
run wild, it would pay better to have
four or five hundred head of sheep,
bringing an income of two or three thou
sand dollars per year. Good grade ewes
could be bought from three to six dol
lars per head-lambs are worth two or
three dollars per head-and they can be
improved yearly by using a thorough
bred ram.-COr american Farmer.

Looking back hundred years,
And comparing the now and then,
1t seems to me that in spite of fears
The country has earnest men.
As willing to draw the sword for the right,
As ready to WELD the pen.
1t seems to me that in faithful hearts
The currents yet ebb and flow,
With constant motion that still imparts
As steady and clear y glow
Of zeal for freedoms glorious arts,
As q hundred years ago.
1t seems to me that in field and forge,

In fertile plain and mountain gorge,
In city and hamlet still,
They live as they did in the days fixing Georgs
OF Concord snd Bunker Hill.

Or the brain unused to plan;
That the tongue delays the truth to speak,
Or the foot to march i'm the van;
But know full well that we need not seek
In vain for Minute Man.
There are men to-day who would stand alone
On the bridge Horatius kept;
There are men who would fight Marathon,
Who would battle with Stark at Remington
When flashing from sabre and flint-lock gun
The fires of freedom leapt.
1t is well to look back with pride and boast,
1t is better to look ahead;

The future is life instead;

Lime Water for Burns.

Lime water and linseed oil, equal
parts mixed together, make one of the
best applications for burns and scalds.
It effectually excludes air from the in
jured parts, and allays the inflammation
almost instantly. If the burn is very
severe, the wound should be washed
with warm milk and water three times a
day, and the oil dressing renewed each
time. This remedy leaves no hard coat
to dry on the sores, but soften the parts
and aids nature to repair the injury in
the readiest and most expeditions man.

able it may be prepared in five minutes

be kept in the house and will be as good
when six months old as when first made.

The best method of easing cough is
to resist it with all the force of will pos
sible, until the accumulation of phlegm
becomes greater; then there is some
thing to cough against, and it comes up
very much easier and with half the
coughing. A great deal of hacking and
hemming and coughing in invalids is
purely nervous, or the result of mere
habit, as is shown by the frequency with
which it occurs while the patient is
thinking about it, and its comparative
rarity when he is so much engaged that
there is no time to think or when the
attention is impelled in another direc-
ti0n.

The following is recipe for making
hard soap. which is said to be excellent
and economical. Nearly every family
accumulates through the winter drip
pings from from beef and mutton. These
can be utilized for the grease by boiling
in water, allowing it to cool, then re-
moving from the water and boiling till
all the water Is expelled. Of course the
whittier the grease the nicer the soap.
Take six pounds of sal soda, six pounds
of grease, three and half pounds new
stone lime, four gallons soft water, hall
pound borax. Put soda, lime and water
into an iron boiler; boil till all is dis
solved. When we'll settled pour off the
clear I've, wash out the kettle, and put
in the clear I've, grease and borax; boil
till it comes to soap, pour into tub to
cool, and when sufficiently hard cut into
bars and put on boards to dry.

Unlike the heron of the swamps Of
Florida, its neck is stretched to its full
length while watching its prey. 1t is
generally found standing alone in the
field, as if it had deserted its kind, and
its thought and mission was to act the
solitary sentinel of the meadow.
Its bill is sharp, and as the gopher
with its feet and head pushing the soil,
comes to the surface. it is sent through
him like a dirk-knife, and he is brought
out as if on q skewer. 1t seldom misses
its mark; when it does, as it disguised
