AGRICULTURAL ITEMS.

BARON Won TsCHUDI, the we'll known
Swiss naturalist, says: Without birds
successful agriculture is impossible; they
annihilate in o. few months greater
number of insects than human hands can
accomplish in years.
IT has been discovered that when the
locusts prevail i'm any section they infest
two seasons; they fly over the first sea-
son and drop eggs, which develop into
choppers" the next season, which fly of
to another section.
LEMONS in California reach the weight
Of fourteen ounces, so that the amount of
rum required to make punch of them
accounts fully for the remarkable snake
stories occasionally told in the Pacific
press.
HORSES that are kept in the stable
during summer should be given daily
the luxury of roll on the earth. Roll
ing is the means given by nature for the
animal to rid itself of vermin and skin
disease, and it tends to make the animal
healthy.
OUT in Iowa and Nebraska the farmers
are sailing their fence posts before they
set them. The plan is to bore an auger
hole in the post at about the point that
will be at the surface of the ground and
put in handful of salt, then to plug it
with piece of wood. Some say that
oak posts treated in this way last as long
as cedar ones.
AMONG the dairymen of Somerset
shire, England, where the famous Ched-
dar cheese is made, nearly every herd
contains few pure-bred Jerseys or Jer-
sey grades, for the purpose of improving
the milk, and such sprinkling of Jersey
blood in the herd is considered not only
profitable but essential in giving better
character to the cheese.
ALL experience confirms the selection
of high, hilly ground for fruit growing.
The temperature in winter is always
warmer on the top of the hill than in
the valley, and in summer the air on the
hill is drier and less liable to create in
sect diseases. In clay lands, set the
trees on top of the ground and plow up
to them, leaving drainage and the dead
furrow in the center.
THERE is q French tool called a thistle
puller. 1t is made of wood, and looks
very much like pair of blacksmiths'
tongs. The handles are something more
than four feet long. Five or six old
women, armed with this instrument, can
clear foul acre in an incredibly short
space of time and with hardly more
bending of the body than a housemaid
displays while sweeping carpet. This
tool might be adopted by our farmers
with benefit.
If the leaves of plants turn reddish or
yellow, or if they curl up, close inspec-
ton will generally disclose that they are
infested with very small green insect,
or else with the red spider, either of
which must be destroyed. For this pur-
pose, scald some common tobacco with
water until the latter is colored to a vel
low, and, when cold, sprinkle the leaves
of the plants with it; but better plan
is to pass the stem and leaves of the
plants between the fingers, and to then
shake the plant and well water the bed
Immediately afterward. This operation
destroys large proportion of the insects
shaken from the plant. This method is
the only sure one.

The Hull Story.

"Is this the hull of you ?" asked his
honor as Lewis Hull stood on the mark.
The prisoner looked around to see if
one of his arms or legs had dropped of,
and made no reply.
"Now, then, how about shaking your
fist under your neighbor's nose, whOOp-
ing, yelling, and being seven-eighths
drunkY'
GAIL on account of my wife," replied
Mr.. Hull. "Her blab is allus going, and
she makes my house perfect pandymor-
monum. l believe she's the wickedest,
meanest old red-headed buzzard in the
great NorthwestW
slew Hull, you lie, and you know It'll"
screamed a sharp female voice from over
the rope.
"Siience w cried his Honor.
"That's her." continued the prisoner.
"Pve heard that old hen-hawk scream
of hers every day for eleven years, and
Pm worn outp
"Can't you agree p
"Pve tried to, Judge. I've bought
her rings and breastpins; I've brought
her home ice cream and lottery tickets
she's had button-boots and hat that
turns up in front, and now, rlght THIS
moment, she's got on the biggest kind OF
fashionable bustle!'
"Lew Hull, I--W

And now," continued Hull, "send
me up-boost me for six months! If
don't go to the House of Correction I'll
go to the bottom of the riverp
"Pll do it, Mr.. Hull; I'll make it six
months, and if she comes up there and
bothers you, I'll have her sawed in twop'
"This is yawl" announced Bijah, and
the prisoners band escorted Mrs. Hull
to the corner, singing:

IT is estimated that Western New York
probably produces one-half Of all the
apples raised in the United States. The
annual product of several counties ag-
gregates half million barrels. The town
of Lyons, Wayne county, last fall sent
10000 barrels to market, made into cider
over 10000 bushels, and dried two thou
sand bushels. This amount, with those
retained for home use, made the crop for
that place last year $4,000 barrels. Ap-
Piles were cheap last year, but when the
amount of labor bestowed upon the crop
is taken into account they were fully as
profitable as wheat. The principal mar
ket varieties of Western New York are
the Baldwin, Greening, and Roxbury
Russet

ny HESTER A. BENEDICT.

Only Woman, shriveled and old,
The play of the winds and the prey Of the cold
Checks that are shrunken,
Eyes that are sunken,
Lips that were never oerbold.
only woman forsaken and poor,
Asking an aims at the bronze church door.
Hark to the organ roll upon roll
The waves OF the music 20 over her soul
Silks rustic past her
Thicker and faster;
The great bell ceases its toll.
Fain would she enter, but not for the poor
Swingeth wide open the bronze church door.
Only a woman-waiting alone,
Icily cold, ON an ice-cold throne.
What do they care for her?
Mumbling prayer for her,
Giving not bread but a stone.
Under old laces their naughty hearts beat,
Mocking the woes OF their kin in the street.
Only woman In the old days
Hope caroled TO her her happiest lays;
Somebody missed her,
Somebody kissed her,
Somebody crowned her with praise;
Somebody faced up the battles of life
Strong for her sake, who was mother or wife.
Somebody lays with tress Of her hair
Light ON his heart where the death shadows are
Somebody waits for her,
opening the gates for her,
Giving delight for despair.
only woman-nevermore poor
Dead In the snow at the bronze church door.

The Columbus Enquirer tells of two
families in Stewart county whose lives
were saved by a gentleman obeying a
presentiment he could not resist. He
had foreboding that storm would visit
that section, and that his house would
be in its path. He told others of 1t, but
they only laughed at him, saying he was
frightened from reading-and hearing
the accounts of the late cyclones. He
gave credence to the thought, which
would not go down at the bidding, and
dug a hole near the house. He had no
sooner finished it than the storm did
come, and barely had he and his family
sought refuge therein than the tornado
tore his house in pieces. All in the hole
in the ground escaped. The people in
the storm region, and many who are not,
are preparing places of refuge to avoid
the next cyclone.

PROFESSOR CRANE, of Cornell Uni
versity, was made the victim of practi-
cal joke the other evening. Being an
ardent admirer of Nature in all her
works, he had procured the transporta-
tion of huge bowlder from enc of the
hills near Ithaca and given it COM
manding position in his garden, intend
ing to have il overrun with vines. Some
mischievous person, probably student,
embraced an early opportunity to adorn
the surface of the rock with large letters,
in staring print, advertising "Crane's
Condition Powders"

BALLooNIsTs say that after certain
height is reached an aeronaut is actually
"seizcd with an almost irresistible de-
sire TO 60 higher, and is sometimes seized
with an almost uncomfortable desire TO
indulge in a fit of laughter" That Is
merely an illustration OF the well-known
scientific fact that in proportion as bodies
recede from the earth, they lose their
gravity.

MEMORY.

The murmur Of a waterfall
A mile away,
The rustic when robin lights
Upon q spray,
The tapping Of a lowland stream
On dipping boughs,
The sound 0i grazing from herd
OF gentle cows,
The echo from wooded hill
OF cuckoo's call,
The quiver through the meadow gras
At evening fall
Such music Is not understood
BY any school;
And when the brain Is overwrought
IL hath spell
Beyond all human skill and power
To make II well.
The memory OF kindly word
Far long gone by
Sent lovingly,
The cleaning Of a sudden smile
Or sudden tear,
The warmer pressure Of the hand,
The tone OF cheer,
The hush that means al can not speak,
But have heard 7"
The note that only bears verse
From Gods own word;
Such tiny things we hardly count
As. ministrY;
That givers deeming they have shown
Scant sympathy;
But when the heart Is overweight,
Oh, who can tell
The power Of such tiny things
To make II well?

A MAN may conceal his name, his age,
the circumstances of his life, but not his
character. This is his moral atmosphere,
and is as inseparablc from him as the
fragrance of the rose from the rose itself
In the glance of the eye, in the tones of
the voice, in mien and gesture, character
discloses itself.

Agricultural returns for October
show the wheat crop Of the present
year to he short one, and there is a
marked deterioration in quality. The
average is about so per cent. of lust
years production. If this indicates a
total depreciation, it amounts to near
Iy $1,000, 900 bushels, and gives the
crop at 246,OO0,G00 Bushels. In
quality, the crop averages II per cent
below sound condition. The condition
of the corn cropis exceptionally high.
The produce reported this year falls
short of 1874, about 4 per cent. Oats
product 5 per cent greater than last
year. Potatoes promise to be cxtraor-
binary. both in yield and quality. T.
bacco 2 per cent. above the average.
Barley Is 81 per cent of last years
crop, and buckwheat not far from the
the average.
