HOW TO KILL oRAssHoPPERs. !.

The following method Of Destroying

Mountain Husband,ndn::, H.. 45y.... .......5
tits well known that the ordinary coal
oil IS one Of the surest means Of killing
graashoppers, and during the payment of
bounty in this county it was used quits
extensively to kill the insects before mar
keting And kerosene is the chief agent
Of Rieman's plan for killing grasshoppers.
He says that the smallest particle that will
adhere to ones finger, if touched upon
the body Of an insect, viii cause instant
death. BE takes piece Of cotton cloth,
a ayard wide, and twenty feet long, one side
Of which he fastens to arope, the ends Of
which extend over the CLOTH a foot OF two.
To the bottom Of tile cloth, say a foot
apart, he fastens lead sinkers, of sufficient
weight to keep the cloth firmly stretched.
The cloth is. then soaked in coal oil until
thoroughly saturated, and with man at
each end, this apparatus is slowly dragged
over the soil occupied by the insects Eve
~ one touched by the oil is instantly killed.
The cloth is soaked from time to time as
ones judgment dictates. Mr.. Rieman
says the first soaking consumes good
deal of oil, but afterward much leas is re-
quired, and he estimates one and half
gallons is all that is necessary to kill the
grasshoppers on eighty acres. The, pro-
cess is to be applied as soon after catching
as possible. when the grain is small
Where it touches the grass or weeds more
or less Oil adhere, and this kills such in
sects as come in contact with it. Mr..
Ricman tried the method last spring and
itiworked to his complete satisfaction, de-
stroying the grasslioppers upon his prem
ises, and what injuries were sustained by
his crops were traceable to insects that
came from other localities.

GRASS.

In an address recently delivered
before the Wisconsin State Board
of Agricultural, Mr.. Charles Sey-
mOur said:
Taking the farmers of Great Bri-
tain as our instructors, we may de
rive some valuable hints from their
experience. OF the fifty mi lions of
acres under cultivation in the United
Kingdom of Great Britain, less than
twelve millions of acres are devoted
to white crops or cereals, while over
twenty six millions are kept in per
manent pasterage; six millions of
acres under clover and rotation
grasses, and six millions ofacres de-
voted TO tnrnips and other vegeta-
bles. England, Wales, Scotland and
Ireland have about two and three
fourths millions of. horses, ten mil
lions cattle, and over tAirty millions
Of sheep. Repetition OF white or
grain crops is not permitted. In
stead of the old process of restoring
or resting land by keeping it tallow
every fourth year. which was eqniv
alent to the permanent withdrawal
of one quarter OF the tillable land
from cultivation, the turnip crop,
with its broad leaves that shield
the soil from the rays of the sun,
and with its nutritious roots that
are fed, before ripening, to cattle
and sheep, resorted to as the most
effectual.methOd of benefittir g both
land and stock, as biennial plants
derive their chief nonrisIlmeDt from
the air, and do not exhaust the soil
if used before they ripen.
Forty-two acres in every one hun
dred acres in England, aud sixty
four in every one hundred acres in
Ireland, are pastures. England i'm
ports only five per cent. of meats
consumed. The capacity of land
when kept mp to its utmost prodnc-
tiveness in densely populated coun-
tries OF Europe is demonstrated in
the ability Of many tillers of English
soil, besides paying heavy rents, to
support a large family on the pro
dacts Of six acres OF land; and in
Germany, two acres of land have
yielded similar amount of sub.
stance; while in France, where the
long and narrow ribbon-like farms
are cultivated almost as carefully as
gardens, the capacity OF land has
reached Western credulity.

The New York Herald thus
notices the Republican SANDER in
reference to Mr.. Tilden and his in.
come tax: 1.-THE brief dispatch from
Albany which we print elsewhere
makes a pertinent suggestion in
connection with the charge that Mr..
Tilden did not give a correct state
ment of his taxable income in 1862.
A lawyer may earn his fees in one
year but collect them in q subse
qnent year. His returns of income
will of course include not his
charges, but his receipts. This
very simple consideration may rec
oncile the apparent discrepancies
between Mr.. Tilden's statement of
his income in 1862 and his snbse.
quent statement respecting his legal
fees in that year. He could not re
turn his fees as income until they
had been paid, and the fact that
they were earned in one year and
paid in another seems a sufficient
answer to the accusation

which stock bears to Il higher and
more profitable agriculture than
that thus far practiced becomes
properly understood and appreci-
ated by the Southern farmer, then,
indeed, the North will be nowhere
by the side Of the South. In many
parts of this sunny and favored
land all the leading domestic ami
mails can find an abundant support
the whole year through in the open
field, because the grass never ceases
to grow, and there is a close APP
proach to perpetual summer. The
saving to be effected in this way
alone in necessarily very great, and
will enable, under IL good system
OF management, the planter on
Southern soil to undersell the farm
er in any other part OF the United
States.
In many portions of the South it
will require great care to naturalize
some kinds OF stock, and. where
such care is not bestowed, the result
will be disappointment and loss. 1t
is wise to begin in small way at
first, and as knowledge and expert
ence increase, the sphere of opera
tons may be enlarged. BY pro-
ceeding after this fashion soon the
undertaking will be under good
Roadway, and this, the highest and
most intellectual department Of agri-
culture, will prove as profitable as
it is fascinating for all who have
any talent for its prosecution
