Ny farm happened to be the dividing line be-
tween total and partial destruction in the disas-
trOus raid of 1875 out of 75 acres planted with
corn had Is acres left when the light footed
fee sailed away. They marched and counter
marched, advanced and retired, week after week,
with an increasing appetite and increasing num-
beers, with the utmost indifference to the future
contingencies of the owner. When the rOosting
period came they attacked the orchard of 800
trees, five years set and in the first twenty four
hours eat one-third of the leaves On the previ-
GUS Summer l had used white-wash and turpen-
tine for the borer in the body of the tree with
good results. | at once prepared a water pail
full of the mixture, one half pint of turpentine

sistency for house use. / supplied it on two
trees with brush, having first Jared and sIa-

ularly disliked the application. 1 watched the

trees that day, and again the next day, and on
the night of the second day not one hopper could
be found in the orchard. 1 fully recommend a
trial of this wash, either for the body borer, or
what is far worse, the grasshopper. When they
begin to climb and rOost on the trees, the foliage
will rapidly disappear, and unless at once check
ed, the trees will be as bare as in mid-Winter.

The largest quantity of fax should only be
sown when the lint exclusively is wanted, and
then only on exceedingly rich and mellow land.
Sweet potatoes, if in bills three feet each way,
will require per acre 4,S40 plants. If in ridges,
four feet apart by sixteen inches in the row, it
will take ,l66 plants. Beets, carrots and pars-
nips should not be planted in June, except foE
the purpose of getting small and tender roots
for family use. The greater number Of pounds
per acre is used only in field culture where many
plants are necessarily lost. The quantity of peas
is for sowing broadcast:-when drilled, from to

Potatoes should not be planted in June and

The Impending Crisis.

&C. Henry, the great wheat grower of Kan
sas, writes to the Abilene Chronicle as follows
81 have never said that the grasshopper eggs
were destroyed by the warm and cold spells Of
February aad March, reports in various news
papers to the contrary notwithstanding. 1 said
that the eggs were so far developed by the warm
aud moist weather of last Fall that few days of
favorable weather in March would hatch them
out, and that the cold rains and freezing wealth
or of early Spring would in all probability de-
stroy the young hoppers. am sure that large
percentage of the eggs are, however, destroyed
from various causes, which it is needless now to
name, and that they will therefore not mature.
The weather this month has been dry and cool
hence the eggs as rule have made scarcely any
advance toward Matching. The probabilities
now are that by the time they do batch, warm
settled weather favorable to their maturity will
prevail. am sure that the deposit of eggs is in
all cases confined to spots and places in particu-
lar fields, or on small and sheltered localities.
have 30 far found no such deposit but that can be
easily controlled by the owner of the farm. The
farmer can readily ascertain where these spots
are, and after the young hoppers are Matched, he
can apply some of the various means at hand to
their destruction-by driving them into the prai-
RE grass and burning it; by hauling straw and
driving them into it and then burning; by plow-
ing the eggs under, ditching, etc. Let every
farmer ascertain at once where the eggs are, de-
eide upon the means in advance that u s.ost
available for the object desired, and then carry
il out.

The Spring is about on us, and seed sowing in
the garden and on the farm will soon be here
As myriads of seeds are wasted every year, few
hints may be seasonable and servceable.
The most successful sower we ever knew lets
his garden ground get little dry before sowing
Then he stretches the line along where the seed
are to 60, sows the seeds on the surface, and
then walks sideways along the line, pressing the
seeds with his ''lat foot" He says he never had
seed to miss, and 50 sows them thinly Just
where every plant is to grow. There is not only
no waste of seed, but no waste in thinning.
There is no raking in of the seed, and the whole

er-gardener. Her mignonette and pLloxes al
ways grow, and q ten cent paper is enough for
the whole garden. She sows on the surface,
'pats" down, rs she says, the earth with the
back of her cast-steel trowel, puts the stick with
the name in the centre of the little patch, and
they sprout at once.
Now this is all reasonable enough, when we
think of it. There are lots of people who be-
lieve that ragweed and other rubbish will keep
seed fresh, for years, when but plowed down q
few inches. Whether this is so or not, deep SOW
ing Is known to be unfavorabe to termination
Seed like to be near the air, but near the mois-
ture, too, and all that is necessary to this is that
they be pressed firmly to the ground. There are
ways enough of covering seed properly with i'm

TINE FOE SOWING SEEDS.

A subscriber at Sarpy Centre, Nebraska, asks
MS to publish table to show the time required
for the ripening of the various farm crops from
the time Of sowing the seed, that farmers in the
grasshopper region may be enabled to get in
crops to succeed those destroyed by "the pest !"
Ii would be dificnlt to embody in tabular
form the information our correspondent requires,
since the time elapsing from the SOW ing 10 the
ripeuing of crop, depends upon the season in
which 1t is For instance, wheat sown in
February or March will ripen but little in adj.
vance of that sown in April, or even in May
Nevertheless, the rule should be with all seed to
SOW as early as the ground is in condition to re-
ceive the crop, the proper season being at hand.
The following table prepared by MS some years
since, and now revised, giving the weight per
bushel, time of sowing, and quantity sown per
acre, will be of value as showing not only the
earliest time for sowing in Nebraska and cores
ponding ATTITUDES, but also how late the crops
may be sown, and will give you the information
you require. The letter "an signifies the months
when they may be SOwn.
