AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Applying Paris Green.


grew 900 baskets of egg plants last
season on a trife over an acre of ground.
Notwithstanding the bugs We're very bad,
destroying, down to the stump, some of
my neighbor's plants. I saved mine by
five or six applications of dry Paris green,
mixed with two or three times its weight
of dry -four, and applied with one of our
Paris green dusters.' I have found
dry applications best, and bellows the
most satisfactory means; dew supplying
water without labor; -four making the
Paris green adhere firmly, and any de-
sired strength obtainable by varying the
quantity of -four.
| was quite afraid to Use it, until |
found something must be done, or We
would lose our whole crop, and until af-
ter trying a few rows, and watching the
effect and making calculations of the
chance of poisoning.
We used from three to five pounds of
the green on about 1000 plants-only
about two pounds, or 10000 grains, of
which were used after the fruit was fair
" set, or about four grains to hill. Each
hill averaged about six marketable egg
plants. In a healthy patch it is nearly
impossible to get powder by this means
on the fruit itself, as ii grows from six to
eighteen inches below a thick mass of
nearly fat leaves, through which not
over one-sixth would be likely to pene-
trate, or say one grain to a hill. An
average plant should have five or six
square feet area of leaf surface; the six
egg plants themselves about one foot
area, 50 that of the one grain that went
through, one-fitth of grain only could
lodge on the fruit; but the fruit is not
of full size the whole season of two
months, but perfects in about ten days,
dividing the amount by six, or to one
thirtieth of a grain on six fruits, or one
Observation-Disclosures grain on one.
This may be again divided by four, as
not one-quarter of the fruit grows be-
yond the green calyx; this is again re-
duced by rain, growth, handling in cut
ting, in marketing in baskets, carrying
from the stall and shop, in washing, and
last, but not least, by pairing off the skin.
Then, if hungry man eats half of five
inch egg, he might eat, if everybody was
carful all the way through, about the
one-ffty -thousandth part of grain, and,
if everybody was careless, the one-tenth-
thousandth part; two grains being re-
CURED to kill man. This poison should
be used with extreme care, but a little
thought or calculation will show the fol-
" of being utterly afraid of it, or unwill-
ing to try it carefully.-S. l.. Allen IN

Time for Sowing Seeds.

\ subscriber at Sarpey Centre, Ne
braska asks us to publish a table to show
the time required for the ripening of the
various farm crops from the time of SOW
ing the seed, that farmers in the grass
hopper region may be enabled to get in
crops to succeed those destroyed by the
pest"
1t would be difficult to embody in
tabular form the information our CORE
spondent requires, since the time elapsing
from the sowing to the ripening of a
crop, depends upon the season in which
it is sown For instance, wheat sow-n in
February or March will ri pen but little
in advance of that sownin April, or even
in May Nevertheless, the rule should
be with all seed to SOW as early as the
ground is in condition to receive the
crop, the proper season being at hand.
The following table prepared by lis
some years since, and now revised. giving
the weight per bushel, time of sowing,
and the quantity sown per acre, will be
of value, as showing not only the earliest
time for sowing in Nebraska and CORE,
spending ATTITUDES, but also how late the
crops may be sown, and will give you
the information You require. The letter
"a" signifies the months when they may
I be Sown.

These will usually produce excellent
crops after the nights become cool in the
fall. 1t is better to plant any potatoes
in March and April than in May-except
in very high ATTITUDES. OF potatoes eight
bushels will plant an acre in hills, three
feet apart each way-two pieces in each
hill-if cut small, but fifteen bushels will
be used in drills three feet apart, by about
fifteen inches in the drill, if cut to two
or three eyes.
As a rule, the earlier We seasonably
plant our crops in the west, the better
the crops will be, except turnips, buck
wheat, etc, which require cool weather
to mature in. The later these are sown.

Buffer Makina

Now comes spring time, with fresh
COWS on the farm, and the annual butter
fever is again revived, to be melted out
with the heat of July. But why not
this year properly prepare for making
good butter, as almost every farmer this
year has or ought to h9ye, plenty of ice,
and if once properly prepared for max
ing good butter, it will be found to pay
as well as any department of the farm,
all things considered.
With plenty of milk, good butter can
be made, if properly handled. We give
the following method of churning from
a practical aaticle by J. T. Ellsworth, in
the Scientific Farmer:
Churning cream to make good butter
is not 50 simple process as some may
think. 1t must be churned at the
proper time and at the proper tempera-
ture, and the churn should be stopped as
soon as the cream has broken, but before
the butter has gathered in large balls
In warm weather it is of great import
ance TO watch the process closely, and to
notice just drhen the change is to take
place. At this time add enough cold
water (not ice) 10 reduce the tempera-
kuit vi lllC lllslNN w 1joul to vi 40 bt-
grees and then complete the churning,
which Will be as soon as the butter is in
granuated form, with PARTICLES about
the size of peas. Then draw off the but
termilk and dash in cold water, repeat
ing the dashing until the water drawn
off appears clear. Now take out LAYER
of butter into the tray, and sprinkle on
finely sifted salt; at the rate of about an
ounce of salt to the pound (more or less
as consumers may wish). Then take out
another layer Of butter and salt as be-
fore. After the butter is sailed, set it
away for about three hours for it to
"take salt and 'harden the grain. )"
Now work it little with a wooden
paddle, and set it away again until next
day, when it will need but little work
ing before preparing it for market. By
handling in this way you will get a
clean, bright article, with a perfect or
unbroken grain, which will keep sweet
whether consumed Immediately or pack
ed down for future marketing
If the butter is soft and white, it is
from lack of proper cooling before
churning, and it may be hardened by
putting in it about three times the usual
amount of salt, and working it a little
for two or three mornings.

This is nation of enlightened free
men. Education is the cornerstone and
foundation of our government. The people
are free to think and act for themselves and
that they may act wisely it is necessary that
they be well informed. Every individual

accomplishment OF every purpose; while
sickness thwarts the best intentions and
loftiest aims. Unto us are committed i'm
portant health trusts, which we hold not
merely in our own behalf but for the benefit
of others. In order that we may be able to dis
charge the obligation of our trusteeship and
thus prove verify of cur generous commits
sion, it is necessary that We study the art of
preserving health and prolongng life. 1t is
OF paramount Importance to every person
not only to understand thS~Iaeufss for the
preservation of health, but also to know
what remedies should be employed for the
alienation of the common ailments of life
not that We would advise every man under
. all circumstances to attempt to be his own
physician, but we entreat him to acquire
sufficient knowledge of his system and the
laws that govern it, that he may be prepared
to take care OF himself properly, and thereby
prevent sickness and prolong life. In no
