PARIS GREEN ON CABBAGE.

The cabbage worm is playing havoc
with the cabbage crops and threatens To
make q famine in sauerkraut. Black
pepper ground and applied so as to reach
this worm, will lay him in the cold en-
braces of death, but, as in the case of
putting salt on the birds tail, 1t is not
always easy to get the pepper and the
worm together. He burrles himself deep
in the head 0! the cabbage and to tear
the head open to search for the worm OF
course runs the cabbage Therefore, some
gsrdners have adopted the expedient
OF putting that dreadful poison, Paris
Green, upon this vegetable, in
hopes OF saving their crops from the raw
ages of the worm. No doubt this acts
like charm on the worm, and it may
act rs n dead shot on the person who
eats the cabbage Paris green is an in
soluble poison, and applied to cabbage is
Likely to remain there TO have like
effect upon its human and its worm con-
sumer. Buyers OF cabbage should be
careful to know what they are buying
whether it is all cabbage or partly poison.
THIS year, the first of the second CEN
tury of own Independence, will proba-
bly, be known during the next genera
ton, as the Y ear of Plenty. Every sec
ton of the country is equally blessed
with abundant crops, and every species OF
the earths valued productions have
grown IN great luxurlence. We have had
no killing frosts, no scorching drouths,
no summer freshets to diminish the
wonderful supply of good things. With
prices go moderate rs - place good
living" within the reach of the poorest,
such is the Weld of the broad acres as TO
return fair profit to the producer. This
abundant yield is the motive power
which will .et the wheels Of industry IN
motion agaiE. 1t will not Uring US the
flush times of the years Immediately sue
ceeding the war, but it will give us the
wnerewiLhsl to live we'll ~ carry on q
prosperous trade.
