It is good sign when the Democratic party
even in so hopeless district as the lid Con-
necticut, is driven to the nomination OF such
q man as Mr. Wells. Last year their candi-
date was the Hon. Lafayette 5. Foster, VINO,
like Mr.. Wells, was vastly above the average
of Democratic nominations. 1t is unfortunate
for the country that such nominations as these
are only made in the districts i'll which the
nartY has 80 little chance Of success.

The Greenback Convention at Syracuse Is
funny affair. Being opposed to honest payment
of the debts OF the nation, and desiring To put
itself on record accordingly, it finds the resolu-
tons of the Baltimore Convention very much
in its way. so it resolves them into tim space
10y declaring that Convention merely ra'liica-
ton meeting; and by announcing, as the last
genuine National Democratic Convention, the
one held at New-York in 1868. The green
back theorists deal with history with quite as
much candor and common sense as they apply
10 financial issues.

DR.. Wilbur's report upon the state manage
ment of the insane IS very suggestive. lie
finds that the construction account OF our
asylums will make The cost of each insane
patient six or seven times greater than Is the
ca Sc IN Massachusetts. A comparison With the
inmates of English asylums shows that our in
sane patients are inferior in apparent health,
and this is attributed to a neglect OF active
employment and outdoor exercise in our
treatment. The plan of putting the insane in
small cottages or otherwise subdividinS the
present accumulation in large asylums might
mitigate many of the evils referred to in the
report DR.. Wilbm's chief suggestion of i'm
prOyement is that the control be vested in a
board, with powers similar to those oil the
British Boards of Lunacy.

THE POTATO BUG.

The beetle hibernates either beneath
The ground or beneath any other shell
ter that it can obtain Early in Spring
it issues from its Winter quarters, and
may be seen flying about on sunny days,
long before there are any potato tops
for it to devour. In fight it presents a
very pretty appearance, its gauzy, rose
colored under-wings contrasting agreed
bly, with the striped yellow aud black
elytra or wing-covers. The sexes pair,
and as soon as the potato haulms push
out of the ground, these beetles break
their long Winter fast, sometimes even
working their way down toward the
sprout before it is fairly out of the earth.
The eggs, orange yellow, are laid in
small clusters on the under sides Of the
leaves, and the same female continues
thus to lay at short intervals for o pc
riod of over 40 days, until the number
laid by single specimen may aggregate
from 500 to over 1000 There are, in
the latitude of St. Louis, three broods
each year; but, from the fact that q
single female continues to deposit, as
above described, and from the irregu-
larity of larval development, the insect
may be found in all stages throughout
the Summer months. In from 80 to 40
days from the time the egg is deposited,
the insect Matching from it goes through
all its transformations and becomes q
beetle, the pupa state being assumed
under ground. The prolifcacy of the
species may be imagined when it is re-
membered that the progeny of a single
female may exceed a hundred millions
in the course of single season.

MOTHER.
Late Paper.

How my neart has been panied to
see the GOODNESS and Indifference which
is often manifested for an aged and
dependent mother
Age may waste q mothers beauty
and dim the lustre of her eye, her
strength may depart, her limbs refuse
to support her tottering frame, or she
may become as helpless as an infant,
but shall we love her less? Is she not
our mother still :? Has she not toiled
and watched over our helpless infancy?
And in youth, has she not tried to lead
US in the straight and narrow path
And in sickness she was our minstering
angel. Who but mother could be so
patient, so kind and affectionate, so
gentle and self sacrificing?
If we have been tempted into forbid
den paths, if we have followed in bad
counsels and gone astray, if we have
chosen evil companions and forgotten
the good counsels of our youth, who so
ready to encourage and lead us back to
honor and virtue as mother? She
is ready to forgive, to love and cherish
us still.
Who can fathom a mothers love?
She is our friend when all the world
forsakes US. She will ever cling to US
will die for us if necessary.
Hard indeed must be the heart that
can neglect and abuse a dear aged
mother
She should never feel that she is not
welcome, never feel that she is burden
to her children never should her sensi-
tive heart be panied by an unkind look
or word. How little do we appreciate
a mothers tenderness and love while
living-how little do we think of her
anxiety for US? But when she is gone,
and we see the old arm chair, the
vacant place at the table and hear no
more her sweet voice, then do We know
she is gone, never more to return, and
we call her back. She has gone; and
happy for us if we can say we have
been faithful and made her happy, and
can look forward to the meeting beyond
the grave.

COMMON MIsTAKES.-What a COM
mon mistake it is, amongst even some
of our most intelligent men, to select a
low, sheltered, warm place, if possible,
whereon to lay out their orchards, quite
forgetful of the fact that by SO doing
they are laying their fruit and other
trees all the more liable to the ravages
of the frost. This may seem paradox
cal, but let us examine the philosophy
of it. On hills, where the wind blows
freely, it tends to restore to plants the
heat lost by radiation, which is the rea-
son that hills are not so liable to sharp
frosts as are still valleys. When the
air. is cooled it becomes heavier, and
rolling down the sides of the valleys,
forms lake, so to speak, of cold air
at the bottom; this adds to the liability
of frosts. in low places. The GOODNESS
is frequently still further increased by
the dark <hd porous nature of the soil
in low pisces, radiating heat faster to
the clear sky than the more compact
upland. a knowledge of these pro-
perties, therefore, teaches us the import.
ance of selecting more elevated locali-
ties for fruit trees and all crops liable
to be cut off by frost; and it also ex-
plains the reason why the muck and
peat of drained swamps is more subject
to frosts than any other soils on the
same level. Therefore. corn and other
tender creps1ppon such porous soils
must be ofsthe earliest ripening kinds,
so as to escape the frosts of spring by
late planting. end those of autumn by
early maturity.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1876-03-25

MELONS GROWN WITHOUT A Hot
BED.-Dig as many holes as you wish
hills, about eighteen inches deep and a
foot square, leaving the earth banked
up at the Sides Fill the hole to within
six inches of the top with cow manure,
and above that with good rich loan to
about the level of the ground Now
take large flowerpot and press the
bottom of it into the soft loan, banking
the earth up around the outside to the
upper edge. Next remove the pot, and
in the hole thus made plant your seeds.
And now fill the hole with fine grass or
hay. Water this well and put pane
of glass across the top. After the seed
come up take away the grass and,
during the heat Of the day, remove the
glass, removing it altogether as soon
as the weather will allow.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1876-03-25

ORCHARD GRAss-Says q correspon-
: dent; l have had some FIVE or six
years, experience with orchard grass,
and look upon it as one of the best
pasture grasses, if not the very best, in
this region at least. 1t is as tenacious
as and much more abundant in the
field than, the blue grass. AS hay
crop l don't, as yet, think much of it,
but my experience in this respect has
been small. 1t would probably pay
pretty well as hay crop for home con
sumption, if cut when the bloom first
begins to show, and then again in the
middle or later part of September The
stems are too coarse and hard if left to
the seed. Always sow in the spring,
about the same time of sowing oats,
and always pillow as for any spring crop
and harrow in thoroughly 1t is just
as necessary that it should be thor
oughly covered with soil. | always
sow thirty-five pounds per acre when
sowing alone; twenty to twenty-five
pounds when sowing with clover.

IMPROVEMENT OF PoTAToEs--A Ger
man writer remarks that the first ear
ly potatoes contain proportionally a
great deal afswater and but little mealv
mattefswhich renders them less palata-
BILE than when ripe. He mentions,
however, that by more careful treat
ment during boiling they can be con-
siderably improved. This may be
accomplished by heating second kettle
of water at the same time with that
containing the potatoes, SO that, after
the latter have been boiled for some
time, the water is to be poured off, and
that from the other kettle substituted,
and the cooking completed. A great
improvement in the potatoes will be
found to be the result. Indeed, it is
not early potatoes alone that are bene-
fitted by this process, but those of any
age, and whether peeled or not.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1876-03-25

MULE BREEDING.-The risk of in
juring small mare or other animal in
breeding her to large-sized mule is
greatly over-estimated. The risk lies
more in choosing a large male with a
large head and coarse limbs, and small
female, with light, narrow hind-quar-
ters; with well-formed animals there is
no extra risk. When a young mare
produces a mule, very often, but not
always, her future colts by horse will
have mulish ears, but they will not be
mules.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1876-03-25

FAILURE TO BREED.-When a heifer
has grown to be six years old without
breeding, it may be concluded that there
is some physical defect in her, which
prevents it, and her case may be con-
sidered hopeless There are no drugs
that can avail in such case; reducing
the condition by bleeding is sometimes
practiced, but this is only effective with
fat or plethoric animals.
