To Destroy Cut Worms.


The usual way Of protecting cabbage,
tomato and similar plants which are set
out singly, is to wrap the stem for about
an inch below the surface and the same
distance above, or perhaps a little more,
with any strong kind of paper, as the
ordinary cut worms will not go over, or
under these protectors. Of course, the
paper wrapper may be placed loosely
around the stem, and it is usual to cut
the strips 50 that when applied they
form funnel, opening upward, which
will catch the water falling il rains and
carry it direct to the roots. With a very
little practice these funnelshaped pro-
tectors can be applied very rapidly,
especially if put on when the plants are
set out
But when it comes to protecting mel
ons, corn, beans, and other plants which
come up from seed, the case is quite diff
ferent, and some other method of pro-
lection must be devised A hoop of
convenient size, say foot in diameter,
and three or four inches wide, the lower
edge pressed into the soil, Is an excellent
protector; and we think some Of our
cheese manufacturers might find a good
sale for such an article, and at the same
time use up q large amount of waste ma
terial in making them. Square boxes
made of thin stuff will answer the same
purpose, or even cut out of tin or sheet
iron. We have tried dalsting the soil
about the hills with lime, ashes and plas-
ter, without any apparent benefit, the
worms passing over these substances
without the least inconvenience; but
they do not appear to care about med
ding with sulphur, and light ring Of
this material around hill is a good and
cheap protector until hoeings or rains
distribute 1t through the soil.
It is always well, however, to kill al
the worms that one can find, for by
this means their numbers may be" de-
creased. For this purpose traps of vari-
OILS kinds have been employed, Hand
fuls of fresh cut grass laid about on the
surface Of the ground infested by cut
worms are attractive hiding places, and
dozens viii often crawl under heap in
stead of burrowing in the soil as usual
where no more convenient protection is
afforded. These traps should be visited
every morning, and all the worms found
under them killed. In rather stiff, firm
soils narrow, smooth, circular channel,
two or three inches deep, and one inch
wide at the top, made entirely around
the hill, viii form an excellent trap for
the worms; for, in trying to reach the
plant they fall into the ditch, and if the
sides are smooth they cannot get out,
and the next morning the same nipple
ment used IN making the channel should
be thrust into it again, thereby crushing
the worms. a circular instrument made
of iron with handle would be very CON
venient for making these ditch or chan
mel traps, but We do not know whether
any such has been manufactured.

Enemies of the Rattiesnake.

The deadliest foe Of the rattler is
the common blacksnake. He is public
benefactor, and ought to be protected by
the State Legislature, even If he does
pick up chicken or two occasionally
He grows very long, and, unlike his
northern compeer, never assails human
being. The RATHER fears and shuns him;
and well he may, for the blacksnake is as
agile and quick as the handspring of a
watch, and as full of figet as bulldog
Meeting his antagonist, he attacks with
out delay. After coiling and sounding
the alarm, the RATHER keenly watches his
assailant. At the first the blacksaake
slowly glides around its spiral enemy, as
though studying its weak points He
frequently Kisses, and increases his speed
with each cycle, ever keeping an eye on
the latter. The latter twists it's head
with every revolution of its assailant.
Swifter sweeps the blacksnake around
the circle. At the full bent of his speed
the RATHER grows dizzy. In twinkling
it is caught by the throat, and the coils
of the two snakes are intermingled. The
contest is decided by main strength. AS
they writhe in the grass the superior
proves of the blacksnake is manifest.
The RATHER is slowly strangled. Some
times its body is swallowed, but this
does not always follow The coach
whip, long, clean-cut snake, frequently
assists the blacksnake, and instances are
given in which a dozen coachwhips and
blacksnakes joined forces and killed a
small regiment of rattlers.

all else our hslf.developed country

are beginning to realize the. fact that

is just one dollar gone from US forever,
while the money paid to home facto-
ries comes back to them again. for it
is paid to the mechanic. who, in turn,
pays it back to the retailer who fur

Women i'm Time of Danger.

Miss Jennie Frost, of Council Bluffs,
Iowa, who had a marvellous escape from
the train that was wrecked recently on
the Rock Island railroad, relates that
one woman heroically rescued her six
children and then went to the aid of
other sufferers, while another lady was
terribly exercised over the loss of her
sachel, and could think of nothing else.
One lady, who was in agony from a
broken wrist and compound fracture
of one of her legs, would not consent to
have morphine injected into her arm
because she feared it might hurt her.
Another lady who was severely injured
was offered glass of brandy, but re-
fused to swallow it, stating that she was
a strict temperance woman, and meant
to stand by her principles, even if she
died in the attempt. A little child
chung to window-sill, and kept her
head above the surging waters until
she was saved. A little girl lay for four
hours with only her face out of water,
the corpse of man being stretched
across her little body. 1t was supposed
that she, too, was dead, but the man
who was chopping out the wounded
thought he saw the little ones lips
tremble. She was taken out covered
with blood, her little stockings as red
as if they had been dyed, and in a
few hours she was as lively as a
cricket, asking if anybody had seen
her doll.
