Rue for Pasture.

A correspondent Of the EImira IN. Y =,
Farmers Club writes as follows "Far.
mers who are in want Of frst-class pasture
at least expense, for this season, should
prepare 4 lot for the purpose and sow the
same to winter rye: and they will soon
have pasture for sheep, calves, poultry,
in fact any kind of stock and for young
lambs it cannot be excelled. Heavy stock
will trample it into the ground, to some
extent, if put on early in the season, but
later they can be kept on it at a profit.
Winter rye sown in the spring will not
head out till the second year, but will
stool out so as to cover the ground, pro-
ducing a luxuriant mass of feed that will
pay every experimental trial. 1t can be
cut for soiling purposes the second year
for grown up stock, or it can be raised
for pasture, as stated before, or it can be
allowed to attain its growth and mature
a crop to harvest. 1t will also stand
drouth very well, and enrich the land.
From one and half to two bushels per
acre should be sown, according to the
wealth of the land"

Sat for Cabbn1e.

A New Jersey gardener considers salt
necessary TO the development of cabbage,
especially in places far from the coast.
dc hnds them more crisp, of better flavor,
and TO keep better when salt is used than
without. He uses it as follows IA
few days after setting out the plants, and
when they are damp, either after a rain
or when the dew is on, l take a small
dish Of fine salt and walking among the
rows sprinkle little pinch of salt on the
center of each plant when the leaves
begin to grow. l repeat the sailing, and
when the center of the leaves begin to
form the head, apply salt again, scat
tering it over the leaves after this |
look them over occasionally, and if l find
plants that do not head well and appear
diseased, | sprinkle the salt over freely /;
this will save all such plants. A quart
of salt is sufficient for FIVE hundred plants
In season, although more can be used
with safety"

.Ipple Tree BOrer.

We have followed this insect with q

there is any better remedy for the creature

We have not discovered it. With a sharp
pointed knife and bit Of wire 4 few
inches long it Is not very difficult task
to dislOdge the enemy lie should be
attacked as soon as he makes his appear
ance. Young apple trees should be ex-
amlned at least twice 4 year. The soon
er the borers are destroyed The smaller
the wounds that will be made around the
collar Of the tree. Generally the worm
can be reached with the point of the
knife If this cannot be done follow him
with wire. As a preventive, We have
found oil cloth, or stiff thick paper to
answer 4 good purpose. Remove the
earth an inch or two around the collar,
then bind on the cloth or paper with a
string. We have seen fine, thrifty young
apple trees, worth five dollars apiece, de-
stroyed for the want of halfhour' at en-
