Surgery IS Applied 70 Squash Vines.

In August of 1872, ] noticed, when
walking through the field where nv
squash vines were growing, that some
of them were whitening and others quite
dead. Wishing TO learn the cause of
this, ! examined the vines closely TO de-
tect, if possible, the point where the
mischief began to work. Just where
the vine in branching from the root
makes an angle, | found slight knot or
prOtnberance. With my pocket knife |
cut the vine longitudinallv for a couple
o: inches above aud below this knot,
and gently turned the vine at this OPEN
ing nearly inside out, and found at once
the cause of the mischief 4 borer with
a black head and about three-quarters
of an inch long dropped from the open
ing upon the ground. Gently closing
the vine together, l wrapped a bit of
muslin about the cut, tied it up with d
wpolen thread, killed the borer. and
satisfied that this little creature was at
the root OF the growing mischief, l went
carefully over all my vines, applying
the knife and bandage to every vine on
which the little knot appeared. A few
days after i examined my squashes
again, and found tina. many Of the vines
that had begun to wither were fully
restored, and the wounds l made had
healed. In the fall harvested a large
number of fully ripe squashes, having a
larger yield from that field than usual.
The past season my vines were entirely
free from the ravages of this no1ious ill.,
sect. l find this borer described in
"Harris on Insects page 331. 1t seems
"that after devouring the interior of tn
stem the worm enters the soil, forms
cocoon of a gummy substance covered
with particles of earth, changes to a
chrysalis. and comes forth the next sum-
mer q winged insect. This is conspicu-
GUS for its orsnge-coiored body, spotted
with black, and ITS hind legs fringed
with long orange-colored and black
hairs. The hind wings only are trans
parent, and the fore wings expand from
one inch to one inch and half. 1t de.
posts its eggs on the vine close to the
roots, and may be seen flying about the
plants from the 10th of July till the mid
die of August" The name of this in
sect is .Egeria Cusurbita, and it at
tscks other cururbitaceous vines than
the squash. In the hope that this bit OF
in rural surgery may be OF
profit TO your readers, have devoted q
mart of this rainy day in writing it out
for you.-L. Z. L., Queens Co., l.. H.,

harvesting Grain.

Men differ az to the pest and proper
time TO cut wheat. Many say ii shsuld
stand unit, the gram ) quite hard, and
then cut aud put INFO the barn almost
Immediately sGler. Others cut earlier,
and ".;en put it into the barn or sack
before it has had time TO cure. have
no doubt, if the wheat is intended for
seed, though the sample Will be quite
rough and will not look so nice, il is
better TO let Il get quite hard previous
10 cutting, but for grinding, and to make
sure of fine sample for sale, this is a
mistake. When secured in this hard
state, and through being so long exposed
TO the sun before cutting, it is impossi-
bic for the miller to separate the bran
from the flour so thoroughly; conse-
quently the -four is coarse and brown.
Also, when cut so iate, if there is much
TO handle, considerable will he lost be-
fore the whole is secured
For several reasons il is desirable to
cut while in 4 soft state If the berry is
past the milky state. and when like soft
dough it is as good time as can be.
have known large wheat raisers to cut
IL very green. The color is brighter,
the berry more plump, the quality
nicer, the straw softer and tougher-not
80 liable 10 break up when threshed-
all OF which is very desirable 1t is
settled question that more and better
flour car be made from this wheat. or
course, to cut in this green or soft state
more time is required 50 cure before
hauling. Many object to this on account
OF rains, and are anxious TO barn the
grain Immediately after cutting. We
know t i not pleasant to have rain Cay
after day on wheat if not properly set
up III shock.
My custom is TO cut when H. the
doughy state, make good sized bundles,
set them up well-six bands upright and
two to cap with, making eight altogeth-
er let them stand till the wheat is hard
enough 10 grind. The wheat will not
be injured by moderate rains, and the
heads not being mach exposed to the
sun will not be injured by driving too
quickly. ! am in no hurry to haul the
wheat if other work is pressing. have
found all through % years experience
that it is best to cut early and give sui
fcient field room. Most of the musty
wheat is caused by being put together
too soon after cutting, even if the wheat
and straw seem quite dry. As so many
Of our farmers raise green weeds with
their crops, and these, getting mixed
up with the wheat, cause it to heat and
mould in the NOW or stack.-Ohi0

tic medicine that can be employed cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter Of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstrIc-
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
Isafcst and best physic for children. BY
their apcrient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infiamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted TO all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any delcterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody Their
! sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while,
being purely vegetable, no harm can arisel

Healthy Dwelling Houses.

In a recent noteworthy and very elab-
crate paper on the proper mode Of build
ing houses so as 10 insure health, read
by DIR. Hayward before the Liverpool
Architectural Society, he enumerated
various conditions essential to that pur
pose. the more important of which ar
due cNp '>urc Ia fresh air and sunlight,
positive freedom from damp, a large
cubic >uace for air, aud abundant means
iur the escape of foul and the admission
oi fresh air. Or. Harvard ar"uc~ that
it j. essential that the ali should be
warmed previous TO admission, and that
ventilation is the great aud main meces-
sity OF house building: that " hateyer be
leit undone this should be especially al
tended to. Ina regard to the te.npera-
turc of the admitted ali, he SAYS that
bedrooms are often very improperly
constructed and arranged. so that in
Winter the sick occupant has TO be in "a
current OF air passing between the door
grces temperature-while that of his
body is nearly 100. To these bedrooms,
says DIR. hayward, very many eases of
consumption, bronchitis, and asthma
NAV be traced: furthermore, in fever
cases much fresh air is required, aud
sometimes endeavor is made 10 obtain il
even by opening the doors and WIN
dows, 50 that many tvphus fever pa
tients die of pneumonia. aud many rheu-
matte fever cases also are prolonged aud
complicated. Drafts are equally per-
nicious in sitting-rooms, were persons
may be roasted on one side aud frozen
on the other, resulting in neuralgia,
rheum stism, colds, coughs. asthma, con-
sumption, and long train of similar
ailments-the chilly lobby contributing
materially to these results. DIR. Hay
ward urges the importance of a thorough
reform in architectural construction in
order to avoid these and other obiec-
tions.-N. Y. Tribune.

WATERING GARDENS. = When the
warm, sunny days come, and our gar
dens look dry and parched, we are so
strongly tempted TO use the watering
pot that we frequently yield, and so in
jure the plants that We are striving TO
benefit. If we attempt 10 water our
flower beds at all, We must do it thor
oughly. Wait until after sunset, and
then pour on water until it seems ready
to run of. Let this soak into the ground
and then water again. Finally, spread
freshly cut grass over the beds; this
covering will tend to keep the ground
soft and moist. The usual method of
sprinkiing the flower beds slightly only
tends to make the surface OF the ground
