The London Journsl Of Horticulture
tells how to destroy weeds by dropping
on them single drop of sulphuric acid
from notched wooden stick. Where 8
few scattered weeds occur in lawns this
may answer; but spud would be sim
pier, easier and safer. For all cult
vated ground the modern improved mode
of killing them by wholesale before they
come up-by the use of a steel rake in
gardens and two.horse harrow in fields
is thousand times better.

I'm the cultivation of e-plants
if the earth in which they are to b,
placed be thoroughly baked in the over
of the stove little by little each day
there will be nothing to fear either from
insect Larvae or their eggs. The earth a
baked should be placed in some SAT,
place, and if possible where it will re
absorb moisture, and become aeratet
gradually before being used. Before i
is wanted for use, it should be so moist
ened that it is just friable. This is don,
by adding water from time to time a
needed from fine vase watering-pot.

Bee Feeders.-T. B. Miner says, in
the Country Gentleman, that what bee
keepers now need is feeder that can bt
placed directly in front of the entrance
of hive; admit the bees freely to it a
any season of the year when they fly out
not obstruct their passage in and out a
all, and not attract the bees of othel
hives in the apiary to the feed. Such ;
feeder would save great deal of labo
in opening hives, lifting of their roofs
etc., besides enabling one to feed thei
bees in the winter season, in milo
weather, if standing out, which coulC
not be done in the supers, as they woulC
Tor should) be covered by some winte
protection. .-.
&C. NJ. Hovey says that of all his by
brids and crosses of the strawberry
only one proved sterile. This was wheI
number of plants were hybridized witt
the Hautbois. None of the seedling
produced fruit. He cites many instances
among ornamentals, showing that the
opinion, sometimes held, that hybrid
are sterile is not supported by facts
RhOdodendrOn Cdtaf06ieneSe and Il. Gr6o
reum, fertilized with each other, produces
fertile seedlings; also several species o
the azalea, with like results. The sam,
result took place with different specie
of the lily and peony, and of severa
other plants on which the experimen
was performed.
