Remedies for Insects.

David Landreth & Sons, of Phila
delphia, give detailed accounts of
remedies for SOME of the Insects which
prove troublesome or destructive in
gardens, and more particularly cab
bages, the substance Of which we
condense: |. The greenish black
jumping beetle, a tenth of an inch
long, feeding on both cabbages and
turnips while young, is kept in check
by busting with sulphur aud plaster,
or by applying slightly a solution Of
whale oil, soap or tobacco water.
Sowing thickly and repeatedly may
secure a crop, or by selecting differ
ent localities. 2. The insect which
causes the club.foot in cabbage may
be repelled by lime and wood ashes,
but change to fresh land is better.
). Wire worm, cut worms and grub
worms may be killed by the slow
process Of digging around the injur-
ed plant; but the best way is TO give
clean land, we'll cultivated and en-
ricbed with frequent waterings to
stimulate growth, which will insure
against underground enemies. A.
Tho green worms are best cleared
from cabbage BY hand. picking. 5.
Plant-lice are driven off by whale
oil, soap, sulphur, plaster, tobacco
water, ETC., if applied early, so as
not toinjure tho taste of the cabbages.
As rule for guarding against insects
generally, make the ground rich
keep it clean and mellow, cultivate
often and water freely.

It IS the Government.
fCity Item

lCltv lCem.
And in speaking of Gen. Buffers
late speech on the silver bill the
Graphic says:
"But when lie left the solid ground
of history and experience and wan
dered off into speculation, his ingenu-
lty got the better of his common sense
and he committed himself to a scheme
which would result IN the abolition Of
the money of the whole lpast Of the
human race by substituting in place
of tho dollar of the CONSTITUTIONS
material thing made INTERCHANGEABLE
ont of gold or silver-a piece of pa.
per printed by the government and
called.a dollar"
Now we do not propose to sustain
any financial scheme or join any pc.
litical party, but to make apparent
when we can the pitiful fallacies BY
which men are carried away. We
have repeatedly, in overhauling the
financial wisdom Of our esteemed
neighbor, the Pic, pointed out the
absurdity of rating the silver dollar at
ninety. one cents because such was its
value while demonetized. The same
raw-boned Rozinante, that has been
in such universal request, is the horse
the kuight-errant of the Graphic rides.
The trouble is that these logicians do
not take into consideration, and can
not be made to consider the power,
stability, resources and authority of
the government whose dolla, is in
question. Every thing held by the
hard money, or against the greenback
contestants, might be true in any 9th
er nation.
The first inquiry is whether the
United States are SO, commercially or
Other wise, dependant on Europe or
any other nation or people as to COM
pel US to harmonic with them or any
of them, in our money standards. 1t
is not necessary that paper dollar
should be exchangeable into gold or
silver, but that it should have the IA
Guilty Of buying in the markets of the
country or the world everything that
has value. 1t is not meant that the
paper dollar is to be so changed at
ary time into gold or silver, but sim
ply that there is to be gold aud silver
behind it. Now, suppose that instead
Of gold or silver there be 4 powerful
government behind it that stamps it
as money for all commercial and other
uses among its people and lthey re-
ceive it as suchY

Handling Colts.

It is a general practice among
farmers who raise colts to pay little
or no attention to handling or break
ing them until they are large enough
to put into harness. 1t is a long and
heavy task to master them when they
have been thus neglected. If tho
colt is of a nigh and nervous temper
ament, it is often year a more be.
fore the work is eftectually done, and
perhaps not then, so as to render
them safe and reliable. Much trou-
bic would be saved and much would
be added to the value of the horse in
greater docility and trustiness, were
the work of training to commence
early in life. The horse is eminently
a domestic animal, and, when kind
ness is shown him, his attachment to
his master becomes strong and last
ing. 1t is very easy to gain the af-
lection of the young colt. When ho
understands that you are his friend
he becomes gentle and docile. Every
farmer who raises colts should COM
mence training them when they are
young. He should accustom them to
be handled and petted, and should
break them to wear the halter, to
stand tied with or without the mother.
If at first they are inclined to be
fractions, gentleness and tirmness
will soon conquer. Care must be ia
ken to have the halter easy and SO
cure, and to tie as first only little
while at a time. Tie in such a man
ner as to prevent their becoming
entangled and thrown. Handle then,
gently, and they will soon learn that
you are both friend and master; and
your will-power over them will be
stronger and more complete at the
tender age than you can possibly &C.
quire where the breaking is put of
to a later period, and is based on
force. Many fail in their manage
ment of colts by showing petulance
and irrilability. A rough kick, OF
blow with the hand or whip, given in
a pet, generally excites the same ir.
ritability in the colt, and if continued
has very injurious effect on his dis
position. Most of the tricks and bad
habits of our horses are originated
and confirmed in them by misman-
agement or i'll treatment.
Another advantage in this early
training of colts is the greater east
with which they can be taken care of
Wild colts are full of viciousness
and they usually meet with hare
treatment. When they are broker
to tile halter young, they are muct
more quiet and gentle, and being
brought more under the eye of TIL
owner, they receive that care ant
attention that is necessary to thei
proper development and training. l
the training has been what it ough
to be the trouble of bringing him t,
the work, when the colt has reached
the age when he can be put into tn
harness, will be greatly lessened, ant
his usefulness and consequent valu'
will be increased. Hence fit you
colts for their life's work as you woult
a child, by early training.

AMONG the FARMERS.
Raising Irish Potatoes.

The Clinton, Lii. Democrat publish
es the following timely letter from a
practical farmer:
AS it will soon he time to plaut
Irish potatoes, | will give you my
mode Of planting and cultlvating. AS
early in January as the weather Will
permit, pillow your land deep and
pulverize well. Lay your rows Off
say three feet wide, and ridge up as
YOU would for cotton. Then with a
small pillow, open the ridge six or eight
inches deep, throwing turrow each
way, thus cleaning the same thor
ouchly. Lay your potatoes down,
with eyes up, from six to eight inches
apart, and cover the same with COT
ton seed that have been killed, from
four to six inches; aud then cover
with just enough dirt to hide the
seed. When your potatoes are up
to good stand, bar them off close,
but not so as to interfere with the
seed; pillow the dirt back to the po-
tatoes, hill up we'll with the hoe, and
then yonr crop is made. They will
not need any more work.
have tried all kinds of manure
COW pen, stable, leaves and wood
dirt, but | find that cotton seed is
| superior to all for Irish potatoes. The
seed keeps them warm and acts very
fast as a fertilizer. Irish potatoes
require damp aud cool weather tt
make a good crop; therefore it is
very important that they may have
an opportunity to make before the
dry and hot weather arrives. If there
is very cold weather after the pota
toes come up, it will be necessary tt
cover the same with a small layer 0
dirt, which can be done by running
pillow in the water furrow, they vii
soon come out again.
! have followed this plan Of plant
ing since 1880, and have failed bu
once, aud that was in 1855, when W
had rain from December to the Is
of June.
