The principal insects troubling house plants
are the green fly, the mealy bug, the scale
and the red spider. The most effectual rem
edy for the green fly is fumigation with to-
bacco. Some wooded plants, such as hello
tropes, salvias, etc., will not bear fumigation
without injury to the leaves, and for these
weak solution of tobacco is quite as effectual.
Steep some tobacco in water and sprinkle
the plant with the solution, and afterwards
syringe with clean water. Mealy bug is to
be searched for and destroyed. Frequent
spongings do much to keep down this pest.
Scale is to be treated in the same way. Warm
soap suds are peculiarly distasteful to this
creature. A little turpentine, diluted with
water Zone part to siXteen), will destroy the
mealy bug. Alcohol, applied with cameps
hair brush, will kill any insect it touches.
Plants treated with these remedies must be
syringed with clear water Immediately there
after. White hellebore (tobe obtained at the
drug store) is infallible. 1t can be put in wa.
ter and applied through watering pot, or
put in two or three thicknesses of gauze, and
shake the hellebore under and over the plants
while they are wet Red spider, which is
seldom found on house plants, is nourished
by adry, warm atmosphere. 1t is a very
small insect, first appearing on the under
side of the leaves. and, though difficult to see,
its effects are quickly noticeable by the
Drowned appearance ofthe leaves It yields
readily to moisture--water is certain death.
Keep the foliage syringed and atmosphere
moist, and you will have no red spider. To
kill white worms in flower pots take common
lime, dissolve it and pour the liquid on the
soil. 1t does not injure the plants at all.

Psalmus Vitae.
BY REV. n. A. PRINCE, TR.


THE following is a Latin transcript of Long
fellows famous Psalm of Life, rendered by the
Rev. n. A. Prince. Mr.. Prince has sent copy
to Mr.. Longfelow, and has received in return a
letter of thanks from the poet.
Die nihi non, m9stis sonis,
Vita est msomnium;
Nam qui dofmit exanmis,-
Eft res umba nubium
Vita vera, Vita ardensl
Sepultura non meta!
Pulvis ad terrain Iediens
Non dictus de animal
Non requies ct non uctus
Noster finis aut vial
Sed sic niu ut crastinus
bet hodie maiora!
AVS perstat, ct tempus fueit-
Et mentes, quamvis fortes,-
Velut tectum tympanum it -
Pulsant cantus tunebIes!
In mundi prelio magno,
In vigiliis vitae
Non similis gregi acto!
Este heros in lite!
Creole non future leto!
Peracto hument sua!
age in pr8senti vvO,-
Cor intra,-DeuS supra!
Omnes magni jubent nobis
Vitam sublinem ferre-
Et in temporis arenis
Vestigia hnquere.
Vestiga, que fors alter,
Arans solemne alum
Vit:e navifragus frater!
Videns, gaudebt rursum!
1gitur semper agamus
Cum corde casu omni!
Et sequentes, nos discamus
Et niti, ct morari.

Profits Of Sheen.

l.. NJ. Rees, of Morgan county, H.,
writes to the Western Rural the follow
ing account of his success with a si1all
flock of Cotswolds: ! usually have
about forty breeding ewes of the Cots
wolds, and have at weaving time from
is to 90 lambs, worth so per head, $3.50.
Ny sheep have Averaged y pounds of
wool for the last ten years; average price
for same time 80 cents per pound, tl6S.
The eve lambs; when they are yearlings
past turn III with breeding ewes and
Gull out as many of the oldest, thereby
keeping my uniform number. Those
culls | sch for mutton; they weigh from
175 to 2l0 pounds from s. to $3.50 per
cwt. feed the ewes some grain while
sucking their lambs. The latter are fed
literally the first winter, and afterwards
hay. They have grass through the sum-
mer, with plenty of salt and water. Our
sheep are healthy, and we rarely lose any,
except when occasionally stray dog gets
one; but little of the same carcass
medicated finishes him the next night,
and that is an end to him.
The advantage of having weeds de-
stroyed; and of the manure we consider
important items. These and nice NUT
ton occasionally pays for the keep, to
say nothing of the pleasure of raising
stock that is gentle to handle. We
change bucks every two years; buying
the best to be obtained, and fever using
a lamb until after it is a year old
