EFFECT oF cAMpHoa on SEEDS.

Certain curious and all but forgotten ex
perlences OF much interest to agriculture
and gardening have been lately revived by a
German savant. Very many years ago it
was discovered and recorded that water SAT-
urated with camphor had remarkable in
Iuence ON the termination Of seeds. AS of
many other useful hints, the stupid world
took no notice of this intimation .buta a Rer

appears to have established the facts that d
solution OF camphor stimulates vegetables
as alcohol does animals. He took seeds Of
various sorts, some being three or four years
OLD, and possessing slight degree Of yitali-
ty, and placed them between sheets of blot
ting paper. Some OF these he wetted with
pure water, and others with camphorated
water. In many cases the seeds did not
swell at all under the influence Of the simple
moisture, but in every case they gerininated
where they were subjected to the camphor
solution. The experiment was extended to
different kinds Of garden seeds, old and new,
and always with the result Of showing o.
singular awakening of dormant vitalism and
wonderful quickening of growth. 1t also
appears from the professors researches that
the young plants thus stimulated continued
to increase with a vigor and vi1acity much
beyond that of those which were not so
treated. On the other hand, when pounded
camphor was mixed with the soil, it appear
ed to exercise a rather bad effect upon the
seeds. The dose in this latter case was pos
sibly too strong. At all events, this action
OF camphor is worthy of an examination by
seedsmen and gardeners, and even farmers
might determine how far wheat and barley
may be profited by the strange power this
drug appears to possess over the latent life
Of vegetable germs. -Horticultn,ist.

HARDY PLANTS.

We use this term with reservation, mas
much as the capabilities OF endurance pos
sessed by many novelties cannot at first be
ascertained, and we may include also some
subjects which are known to endure but a
slight degree of cold. Under this head we
place what we regard as the grand acquisi-
ton of 1S75-the splendid hybrid Lilium
P;rhlnalmi. The immense size and rich
color of this lily place it far above ever the
magnificent L. auratum, which was one of
its parents. Other dubious hardy plants of
merit are the Tulipa Eichleri, from Georgia,
with bright crimson flowers, and intermedi-
ate in character between L. suaveolens and
Il. oculis soils; Galanthus ElWesii, a snow
drop Of Asia Minor, related to G. plicatus; !;
and Crocus CreWei and G. veluchensis, both
Grecian, both spring-lowering- former
allied to G. biflorus, and having white flow
ing in color from purple to pale violet and
white.
Amongst hardy perennials Cypripedium
japonicum perhaps deserves the first men
ton, not only for its beauty, but for its sim
gularity of structure. Its two broad nearly
opposite rhombeo-ovate plated leaves give
it very distinct aspect, whilst its large
flowers, with the lip sutfused with pink, rem
der it at the same time ornamental This is
from Japan, and has been obtained for us
by the New Plant and Bulb Company. Cal

mended for the same purpose. The French
gardens have an Iris gigantea, said to be
from Central Asia, and which grows five
feet high or more, and bears white flowers
striped with brownisil-yellow near the base
of the outer segments. A choice plant of
garden origin, falling into this category, is

which rejoices in perennial dwarfness, and
has all the feathery beauty Of its more state

French garden variety, bears very large deep

Of the shrubbery series we have in Mr..
Jackman's Clematis alba magma gained
without doubt the finest of all the white
blossomed varieties of the noble and popu-
lar climber, the sepals being so broad that
any two meet together across the interyell-
ing one, and thus form more solid-lookinr

variety. Cytisus Laburnum aureus, ii sport

THE pLEAsyREs OF FARMING G,

Lit IS pleasure to an intelligent man to be
the owner Of good farm and to carry on
the business of farming, if done properly
No other pursuit is SO well adapted to afford
health and happiness. To have sweet milk
and fresh butter and eggs, and vegetables
and fruits from ones own garden and or
chard, and poultry, mutton and bacon of
ones own raising, to live upon-is very
agreeable. To see the pigs, lambs, calves
and colts increasing, the crops growing, the
stock improving in value, the fruit trees
bearing their scarlet and golden harvests,
and everything prospering as it generally
will under wise management-af affords any
good man pleasure.
But the farmer, to enjoy pleasure, must
manage his business well. He must plan
wisely and execute promptly. He must be
a sort of military man in this respect. He
must lay the plan of his campaign, at this
season of the year, and carry it out as thor
oughly as possible. To enjoy farming, one
wants the best of everything best cat
tie, horses, sheep and swine, and fruits and
crops. He should be ambitious to have the
best, and should strive for it constantly. His
crops should be put in in the best manner.
He should have the .neatest and best kept
meadows and pastures, the finest orchards
and gardens, and neat farm buildings, and
everything should show an air Of tidiness
and order dictated by an intelligent mind.
1t is not necessary to have expensive
buildings. Any, however cheap, if put in
the proper places, surrounded by neat fences,
and the grounds adorned by shade and for
est trees-will look well. The passcr-by
will be pleased at the outlook. He will see
there the evidences of happy home. The
house sits back few rods from the road, on
a little knoll, SO the water drains easily from
it. Shrubbery and shade trees are planted
in the yard. To the right or left Of the
house, and a little back of it, the barns and
stables are built with some system. The
garden and orchard are convenient to the
house, and everything is arranged in order.
The farmer has taken pleasure in forming
his plans, and now takes pleasure in seeing
how neatly everything looks. His wife and
sons and daughters and neighbors feel the
influence Of these admirable arrangements.
1t has cost no more, or but little more, than
to put up everything in slip-shod, hap-haz-
ard manner. 1t would sell for two or three
times as much. But homes should never be
sold. They are sacred places. They should
be made for ones children, and children's
children. How dear are all Of the associa-
tions OF our childhood days! Why break
them? Why let strangers intrude and desc
crate places that are the holiest on earth?
If farmers would exercise this care and
foresight and taste. in making their farms
and homes attractive. there would be 8
stronger love for country life. There is toe
much inclination among the young people
or the city, and yearly our cities are increas-

A NEW WAY TO KILL GRAssHoppERs.

On Saturday last we were visited by Mr..
Ferdinand Reimann, farmer of German
birth, living in the town of Butternut Valley,
who impaired to us a new, cheap, and we
believe effective means of killing grasshop-
pers, which though too late to be included
in the report of the grasshopper commits
sioners, is still Of sufficient Importance to be
entitled to the widest publicity.
It is well known that the ordinary coal oil
is one of the surest means of killing grass
hoppers, and during the payment of the
bounty in this country it was used quite ex-
tensively to kill the insects before market
ing them. And coal Oil is the chief of Mr..
Riemann's plan for killing the grasshoppers.
He says that the smallest particle that will
adhere to ones finger, if touched upon the
body of an insect will cause almost instant
death. He takes a piece OF cotton cloth a
yard wide, and about twenty feet long. One
side he fastens to rope, the ends of which
extend over the cloth a foot or two. 10 the
bottom Of the cloth he fastens, say one foot
apart, lead sinkers, of sufficient weight 10
keep the cloth firmly stretched. The cloth
is then soaked in coal oil until thoroughly
saturated, and with a man at each end this
apparatus is slowly dragged over the ground
occupied by the insects. Every grasshopper
touched by the oil is instantly killed. The
cloth is soaked from time to time, as ones
Judgment dictates. Mr.. Rienlann says the
first soaking consumes a good deal Of oil,
but afterwards much less is required and he
estimates that one and half to two gallons
is all that is necessary to kill the grasshop-
pers on eighty acres. The process is to be
applied as soon after Matching as possible,
when the grain is small. Where it touches
the grass or weeds more or less oil adheres,
and this kills such insects as come in contact
with it.
This process is very much preferable to
that of dragging a burning rope saturated
with oil over the grain, for it does compare
lively little damage to vegetation, while this
is the chief objection with us to the other
process.
Mr.. Reimann tried the method last spring,
and it worked to his complete satisfaction,
destroying the grasshoppers upon his prem
ises, and what injuries sustained by his crops
were tracable to insects that came upon him
from other localities. s.-Mankato Reuiew.
THERE is much uneasiness in many sec
tons lest the warm weather should prove
fatal to the fruit crop.

TENDER PLANTS THAT HAVE FROZEN.

|
The disastrous effects which tender plants,
which have become frozen, are subject to, is
generally known to cultivators; but how or
why freezing produces the effect it does upon
| plant life, is not so easily ascertained, and all
attempts heretofore made by scientific men
to solve the question, have been 1T most, only
partially successful. In practical experi-
ence it is found that the length of time and
the degree Of cold to which plants are ex-
posed, affect them in proportion to the dllra-
ton and intensity of these conditions, which
points therefore, to the speedy restoration of
suitable temperature, rs the best means of
restoring plants that have been unfortunate
ly exposed to frosts.
But the thaWing out should in all cases be
moderately gradual, and one of the best
things to do when plants have become froz-
en-, either in the dwelling, conservatory or
open air, is to sprinkle the foliage with cold
cistern or well water, as the temperature
turns to rise. In the dwelling or conserva-
tory, however, it will be necessary to start
the fire in the stove, furnace or flue the first
thing of all to give temperature an ascend
ancy, but it should for several hours not be
allowed to rise above an ordinary suitable
degree
Some advocate shading the plants from
the sun and light for some length of time,
but the policy Of so doing has never been
apparent to me, while have frequently had
proofs to the contrary and the SUMS rays
striking upon the plants with gradually in
creasing heat, in great measure aids in
their recovery.
There is great difference in plants as re-
CARDS their ability to resist cold, and while
some the slightest frost will injure beyond
cure, others will bear various degrees, and
even alternate freezing and thawing again
and again, with impunity. Avoid handling
plants in frozen condition as much as pos
sble, as the injury to them will be height
ened should the leaves become bent or be
roughly brushed over. 10 restore flowers
that have become frozen, place them in cold
water until they have thawed out.-Er.

Escaped from jail,

Yesterday afternoon James Brady
and a man named Harrison, prisoners
in New Castle Jail, quietly made their
escape from cell No. 90.
Their mode of escape seemed to be
as follows: They first cut some of the
bars from the grated or inner door Of
their cells. and crawled through TO the
outer door, which is secured by chain
but will open far enough to allow q
person to squeeze through. They
then came out into the corridor, slip
ped into the weaving room, and climb
ing out upon the roof, reached the
Jail yard wall and escaped to the
street. The escape was not discovered
until this morning. when the Warden
went to the cell to give them their
breakfast. They made good their
escape and left no tracks behind
them.
Brady was serving out sentence
for burglary, and was punished at the
the post during the last term Of Court.
Harrison was in for larceny.
