PRECAUTIONS against insects of .all
| kinds should be adopted early in the sea-
son, because when they are allowed to be
| developed to maturity they propagate
eggs in such abundance that it is almost
| impossible to keep them under. The
| destruction of enc early moth is far
better preventive than killing hundred
| caterpillars.
Boil some small onions, changing the
water twice, and sailing it the last time
! When done, take the onions up with a
| skinner. Thicker the water, which
should be boiled away to about a pint,
with very little corn starch add but

toasted some thin slices of bread, lay
them in a dish, put the onions on the
slices, and pour the gravy over.

IN one OF the Pastor letters, written
in the sdays of Henry VI, the writer
gives this as the frugal fare supplied to
an earl and his countess for breakfast on
the day succeeding Ash Wednesday.
One large loaf IN trenchers, two man

a VALUABLE mixture to keep on hand
at this season, is one of coal ashes, sui
phur, and hellebore. The ashes should
be very fine. 1t is best after passing
them through the ordinary coal-ash sieve.
To one pailful of ashes thus siited, add
a quart each of -four of sulphur and
hellebore and mix together. For currant
worms, plant lice, cabbage feas, slugs on
pear trees, melon bugs, we found this 20
! efiectual last season, that we confidently
recommend it to our readers. 1t is
always best to use it in the cool oil
the morning while the dew is upon the
} leaf
PROBABLY the most uneXceptionable
explanation of the cause of the ascent OF
the sap in plants has been that advanced
by NJ. Joseph Boehm. Evaporation
having deprived the surface cells of &
plant of some of their moisture, the pres
sure OF the air forces them to contract.
But these cells are elastic, and have
therefore, tendency to return to their
original shape. In reassuming their
form they must absorb either air OF
water. Their moisture obstructs the
entrance OF air, and the greater moisture
OF the nearest cells is drawn upon. The
latter, by SIMILAR osmotic action, make
good their loss by q draught upon the
next series of cells, and this is continued
throughout the whole cellular structure
down to the roots.
