ANTS ENEMIES TO CATERPILLARs.-
The Belgian Official Journal, referring
to the ignorant conduct of those who de-
stroy all kinds of birds and insects in
discriminatory, insists on the necessity
of children in primary schools being
taught to distinguish between useful and
noxious insects, and thus to exercise
thsir destructive faculties against the
latter only. The writer proceeds to say
that the ant, which is very disagrecable
and announcement in many respects, does
excellent service in chasing and destroy
ing caterpillars, with relentless energy.
A farmer who had noticed this fact, and
had had his cabbages literally devoured
by caterpillars, at last hit upon the ex-
pedient of having an ant-hill, or rather
nest, such as abound in pine forests,
brought to his cabbage plot. A sack
ful Of the pine points, Astounding in
ants. was obtained, and its contents
strewn around the infested cabbage
plants. The ants lost no time, but i'm
medIately set to work they seized the
caterpillars by their heads. The next
day heaps Of dead caterpillars were
found, but not one alive. nor did thew
return to the cabbages. The value of
the ant is well known IN Germany. and
although their eggs are in great request
as food for young cartridges, pheasants,
and nightingaIes. there is a fine against
taking them from the forests. The ant
is interchangeable in hunting its prey; il
climbs to the very tops of ire IS, and de-
stroys an immense quantity of noxiOus
insects.

RAISING CALVES.

Levi Bartlett Of Warner, n. H., gives
the following statement Of the method of
raising calves at Shaker Village. n. H:
We take the calves from the cows
when six days old. and feed them on
two quarts Of new milk three times a
day, until they are four weeks old. The
fifth week We gradually reduce the guam
tity Of new milk and add skinned milk
increasing the quantity by the close of
the week to three quarts at feeding
All the new milk given to the calves
should be taken from their mother
From the time they arc five weeks un-
I'll they are three months old they are
fed on pOrridge prepared as follows:
Half pint Of oatmeal, one gill Of crack
ed wheat, boiled one hour in six quarts
Of water in cool weather q days allow
ance may be cooked at a time. To two
quarts Of this add two quarts of skim
med milk, making four quarts three
times day. The milk should be gen
tly warmed to about the temperature of
new milk, taking care not to scald it,
as it will produce collie. If calves in
cline to scour. one or two raw eggs beat
in their milk will generally effect
cure. We give four quarts of the mkt
ure at a feeding until they are ten weeks
old, then gradually diminish the quanti-
ty during the next two weeks. when they
are weaned and turned out to pasture
From the time they enter the feeding
pens until they leave for the pasture,
there Is constantly kept by them sup
ply Of roots-be cts or potatoes, cut into
long thin slices-we prefer beets, as
they prove most nutritious. When
grass cannot be procured, there should
be crib-cut or seed crop hay kept by
them. The pens should be kept clean
and dry; to do this, they must be clean
ed and new bedding put in every day.
The calves show the success Of our plan
Of feeding. When eleven weeks old,
their weight was two hundred and thir-
ty pounds.

THE CURSE OF DRINK.

The appetite for strong drink in man
has spoiled the life of more women-ru.
ined more hopes for them. scattered more
fortunes for them, brought more shame
and hardship. than any other evil that

hundreds Of thousands of women who
are widows to-day, and sit in hopeless
weeds, because their husbands have been
slain with strong drink. There are humid
reds of thousands of homes scattered
over the land in which women live lives
of torture, going through the changes of
suffering that lie between the extreme
Of grief and despair. because thuse whom
they love. love wine better than the wo-

has learned to reel under the influence
Of seductive poison. There are women

A correspondent has the following
novel remedy for lice on cattle, which we
insert for what it is worth. He saws
"For every one Of your cattle, take two
quarts Of water and eight middle-sized
potatoes cut in half. If you have ten

So. so The Eddy brothers delusion
Is likely to 90, with the rest. 1t seems
that they were indiscreet enough at some
time to teach a young man by the name
of Chaplin the art of calling spirits from
darkened cabinet Chaplin was taken
in charge, by devout Spiritualist,
named WestcOtt, at Fairhaven, and for
six weeks has been producing all the
marvels of the Spirit Vale farmhouse,
including the materialized forms. Per-
sons had seen and conversed with de-
ceased parents, brothers, sisters and
children, recognizing their features, and
all the rest of it. And yet somebody
bounced upon ghost at his "spook-
roOst, the other night, and caught Chap
lin himself. He made clean br east of
it, declaring the whole thing q fraud.
and has gone into the business of pub
licly exposing the Eddy brothers. Sure
ly, if there is anything in Spiritualism
besides fraud and delusion, it is high
time the true was separated from the
false, and honest believers should lend
their help to eliminate the impOsters.-
