Portable sleeping quarters. He seem

that sidewalk farmer think OF the

Pevely, Jefferson county, Mo, which
was reported to the St. Louis Far

And if he thinks cholera is engen-

him study the statement following:
During the summer of 1876,
among the greatest sufferers by this
~rourge were the. brold-acred Area
dian farmers of the Sangamon river
and its branches. There, where
swine had blue grass, timothy and
clover pastures to Craze in, broad
stretches Of heavy timber which
offered shelter in storms and shade
in hot weather; where the water
was flowing comparatively pure and
abundant, and to which they had ac.
cess at pleasure, the hog cholera APP
peared and sustained for months its
most malignant force.
These are nuts To crack, by both
writer's who enjoy filings ut careless
ness OF farmers, as well as by careful
ami scientific farmers, who are striv
ing to solve this important question
of hog cholera.

Washes for Frait Trees.


The following wash for orchard
trees is used by Mr.. w. Saunders, Of
the government gardens ut Washing
ton:
Put J ID. of lime and 4 lbs. of
powdered sulphur in Il tight barrel
shaking the lime with hot water, the
mouth of the barrel being covered
with cloth; this is reduced to the
consistency of ordinary wlitewash,
and at the time of application J or.
OF carbolic acid is added to each gal
Ion OF the liquid. Apply to the trunk;
it will not Lurt the branches if APP
piled TO them also.
The above is usually applied IN
the spring, but Mr.. Saunders believes
it would be more ctfectual if used
later The only objection to thus is
that the foliage makes the operation
more difficult.
An experienced fruit-grower, the
owner of Il fine orchard in Western
New York, uses the following simple
method with eminent success: lie
takes lye from wood ashes, mixes Il
little grease with it, heats quite
warm, and with syringe, throws it
up into all parts ct the trees, branch
es and trunk. 1t will effeclually kill
all kinds of catepillars and all kinds
of worms that are either infesting
the tree III nests or running over the
bark. Trees treated in this manner
are exceedingly healthy, beautiful
and vigorous in appearance, with II
smooth glossy bark, and bore the
best apples in the country. The
remedy is simple and cheap. Com
mon potash will do rs well when
wood ashes are not obtainable.
For vines AMI peach trees, wash
well with soap and water, and when
they are dry paint them with two
parts of flower OF sulphcr, two parts
of sell, one part of soft soap, and
two parts of clay, reduced with water
to the consistency ofpaint.

Mixed Husbandry

The farmer who keeps too much of
his land in tilage finds the acreage
yield of his crops diminishing every
year, until finally the soil becomes
completely impoverished, and he
pulls up stakes, seeks some other 10
cation, and continues the process of
exhaustion. BY adopting Il system
of mixe,l hu>bandry, and keeping a
greater part of the farm in well man
aged grass, IA farmer can have dairy
products, beef, pork, mutton and
wool to depend on, inst :ad of wait
ing whole year for the proceeds OF
II crop of wheat and then finding out
that the yield is poor and the price
l,w While debts and demands are
gathering bulk by delay. y farmer
who keeps The greater portion OF his
Land IN grass of the best quality can
