FRUIT.-The fruit crop of England APP,
pears from latest reports to be u failure !;
Il fact to which we call the attention Of our
own fruit growers as affecting them some
what in the same way us the RuSso-Turk-
ish war is expected to affect the grain
growers. Even apples are a fair crop in
but few places, while pears and plums
are utter failures. All this is accounted
for in part by an unfavorable spring, but
chiefly by the sunless autumn of last year,
which was unfavorable to the ripening of
the wood. The London Garden says-
" Although immense quantities of apples
may be expected from America, the prices
will probably be very high" Tomatoes,
it seems are received in large quantities
from America quite as early as English
cutivators can supply them. notwithstapd-

ing, which, good.sized fruits bring at re-
tall eight cents each and smaller size
from thirty to forty cents per dozen. 1t is
true as Miss Maple remards under DomeS-

tomato so readily, it would sell for an as
tonishingly high price. Respecting the
tomato, as respecting many other things, a
foreign estimate Of its merits is needed to
wake us up to an appreciation OF the fact
that next to the apple and pare it is intrn-
sically the most valuable fruit we have

CABBAGE WORM-PIERIS RAPE.
BY DR.. HIRAM A. CUTTING,

CABBAGE WORM-PIERIS RAPE.
BY DIR. HIRAM A, CUTTING,
This worm, the product of the Rape
Butterfly, is the great pest of the cabbage
grower, and doubtless the worst of all our
imported insects. 1t was imported from
England to Quebec in 1857, as it is sup
posed, with quantity of cabbages, but it
was so sparse that none were seen until
1859, but so rapid was its increase that in
1864 it had extended at least forty miles il
every direction from Quebec, and it was
estimated that it caused loss of the cab
bage crop that would have sold, at least,
for two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars.
In England and Europe it is The butter
fly everywhere common; its larvae is the
dread of every cook, as she expects to cook
several with every cabbage, notwithstand-
ing her utmost care. Its chrysalis is so
abundant in the winter time that they seem
present upon everything that affords them
the least protection; even upon the doors
of dwellings in constant use several may
often be found. America had two native
species, which sometimes appeared upon
the cabbage, but they were content with
the outside leaves; but while this import
ed species riddle the outside leaves, they
secrete themselves in the head also, and
renderit necessary to pull the same to
pieces before cooking, and then you are
not sure, for many times they appear
cooked with the leaf. Their color is so
near that of the leaf upon which they feed
that they are ever liable to appear as un-
welcome vistants. The use of the cab.
bage among al is rapidly decreasing from
this cause. 1t has already spread over
large sections of this country, being taken
in Vermont in 1866; in Maine in 1868, and
around New York and Boston in 1870. 1t
is now almost as widespread as the cab
bage is cultivated.
The butterflies have their bodies black
above, with wings white, as may be seen
in the cuts.

low to green, will not be likely to much
confuse.
This butterfly deposits its eggs upon the
leaves of the cabbage, usually upon the
under side. They are exceedingly beauti-
full when magnified, having a delicate tint,
variable MS in the butterfly, and seemingly
etched with beautiful network of lines.

SoUTHDowN SHERIFF. Mr.. William
Cisco, White RiUer, Kings Co., Washington
Territory In reply to your query about
Southdown sheep-it is certain the pure
breeds are the best mutton in the world
without any exception, and the other Down
sheep, which have been produced by
crosses with other breeds, are also valuA-
BILE, but they are one or two degrees re-
moved from the peculiar flavor of the
Sonthdown, which good Judges among
mutton. eating communities pronounce to
be unrivaled. Probably all this exquisite
taste and incompatible flavor is lost on II
population not accustomed to having their
meat cooked in the same way rs those do
who so highly appreciate pure Southdown
mutton. The Lincolns, Cotswods and
Leicesters are all much larger sheep and
shear much heavier fleeces, and in this
country, where the prmest meat is not
paid for in proportion to its fine quality,
the meat from these heavier frames is
thought by great many to be equal to
any other. -Rurdt NeW KOrkGr.

SUMNER DIET.-There is a great deal
said in praise of French cookery, but the
demands of the intense life Americans
lead cannot be met by mere flavors and
simulated dishes. Our palates may be
cheated by the cuisiner, but he cannot
cheat our stomachs. Food we must have
food that on anal ysis gives fibrin and
gluten and albumen, and puts such rest
lessness into our muscles and our brains
that we cannot choose but work and
think. The hearty worker is invariably
the hearty feeder. While it is right and
proper to utilize everything edible, and
wrong to waste what may serve useful
purpose, there is no economy so unwiso
us that which leads us to defraud our
blood by filling the stomach with what
seems to be food bnt is lacking in the
essential elements of food. In the sum-
mer time fruits and vegetables naturally
form Il large part of our diet. When
neither under ripe or over ripe, nothing
can be more wholesome than fruit. But
there are no articles of food more derang-
ing to the system than unripe fruit, or
that verging on decay, in which the fer
mentations Of decomposition have begun.
So far rs is possible, fruit should be eaten
without sugar. Sugar is carbon in a sac
charine garb, and carbon is heat Curds
are very delightful articles of food For
breakfast on II sultry morning in June or
July nothing can exceed a cream cheese
for delicacy and satisfaction. The habit
once formed of eating cold dishes in sum-
mer, and the American idea that every
meal must taste of the fire being discar-
ded, large comfort ensues to the cook, and
the eater no less. Cold tea and cold cof-
fee, if rightly made and cooled, are as
refreshing and stimulating as the same
beverages ut PIP degrees Fahrenheit
Cold meats are as nutritious as warm
meats, and many vegetables are as pala-
table when they have been half day from
the fire rs when first cooked Salads of all
kinds are specially grateful in warm
weather, and should form part of every
meal. Golden Rule.

State Boards and Things.

We have generally been pretty well sat
isfcd, considering the cost, with the guam
tity and quality of the work of our State
Board of Agriculture, and think the true
way was found, in having numbers of
meetings in various parts of the state, rath-
er than one monster one, rs was customary
in Massachusetts and which some in our
state have advocated.
One, and the great object gained by this
system of general meetings is the getting
at the greater number of farmers, which
may be computed in general way by
multiplying the attendance at one meeting
by the number of meetings held; for far
mers do attend the meetings in their own
immediate vicinity and would not attend IL
general meeting; some because they could
not, and many, perhaps, because they
wouldn't care enough to take the trouble,
which are the very ones where The most
good could be done.
Considering that some have thought our
Board poor investment, and its way of
work poor one, and that the yearly
meeting" was the true plan, we think
the following article from the american
Culticator may be found interesting read
ing in spite of its length, and SO we print
it.not for IFS comment on the Massachusetts
Board, but as n kind of guide board for
our own path, and to show how some, at
least, in other states look on the work done
in ours:

SENSATIONALISM IN RELIGION. We
raise the qnestion-rather give voice to a
question already raised whether the I'D.
parent attempt in some quarters to bring
scnsationalism into the service of the dis.
trict camp meetings will tend to conserve
their power for good. Shall we regard
the employment of tar-famed female evan
geiists, or of noted preachers who ale less
powerful to attract only because they are
not female, as indicating necessityP Is
the vitality of the camp meeting so low
that it can not be put on its feet without
the aid of such stimulants? If so, will
this treatment restore its strength? Must
a score of pastors personally and deeply
interested in the spirituality of the people
gathered ut the meeting stand aside, and
spiritually make the most humilatinp con-
fession OF their own weakness and inefIi-
cheney by consenting TO the employment
of means which have nothing special to
commend them except their novelty? viii

nowned Mr.-?" 1t may be said that
the employment of celebrities because thew
are such is no worse at II camp meeting
than elsewhere, 1t may, indeed. be NO
worse, and yet he fatal. Without reflection
upon evangelists either male or female

be said that reliance on sensational meth.

ence has so proven. The incidental bene-
hits which come from the popularity and
celebrity of the ministers and workers lie.

benefits for which the Church NAV be
thankful, but the business STYLE is n
damaging confession of the Church's weak.

RAIN ON TIE ROOF.

RAIN IN TIE iUOF'
When the humid showers hover
Over all the starry spheres,
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in rainy tears
What bliss to press the pillow
OF cottage. chamber bed,
And to listen 10 the patter
OF the soft RAIN overhead
Every tinkle on the shingles
Has an echo in the heat;
And thousand dreamy flncies
Into busy being start,
And thousand recOllections
Weave their airthreads into wool,
As listen to the patter
Of the rain upon the roof.
Now in memory comes my mother,
AS she used, long years agOne,
To regard the darling lreamers
Ere she left them till the dawn.
Ohl see her leaning DER me,
As list to this refrain
Which is played upon the shingles
by the palter of the rain
Then my little seraph sister,
With her wings and waving hair.
And her star.eged Churub brother
serene angelic pair-
Glide around my wakeful pillow,
With their praise or mill reproOf,
As listen to the murmur
or the sOl rain GU the roof.
And another comes TO thrillme
With her eyes delicious blue;
And mind not musing on her,
That her heart was all untrue;
remember but to love her,
With passion kin to pain,
And my hearts quick pulses vibrate
To the patter of the rain.
Art hath not of tone or cadence
That can work with such spell
In the souls mysterious fountains,
Whence the tears of rapture swell,
As the melody Of Nature,
That sublued, subduing strain,
Which is played upon the shingles
BY the patler Of the rain.
