of little pumps that it finds no diff
Guilty in supplying the leaves with
sufficient moisture to ccunteract
evaporation. The idea is to check
the growth and bring out these Sec
ondary roots while the plant is in the
hands of the grower and can be sur
rounded by proper conditions.
When such plants are pulled up the
earth adheres to the roots, and, how
ever hot the weather may be, they
can be kept for many days with no
care but an occasional sprinkling
with water. AS with corn plants
root-pruned by the cultivator, the
little seedlings of the hot-bed are
checked in their growth, the top is
kept back, while the feeding roots
are multiplied to very great degree,
thus producing stronger and more
productive plants.
Mr.. Day-What effect will that
have upon cabbages when you trans
plant them? g4i tf&f
Mr.. Cheever-The same effect, to
a somewhat less degree. The cab.
bage does not root so much upon
the stem as the tomato.

Homemade Bone and Dust.
From an Exchange.

From an Exchange
Take all the bones obtainable,
either whole or ground, and place
them in layers with three or four
times as much stable manure-frst, a
LAYER of manure, then one of bone and
so on. Mix the whole thoroughly
by shoveling, and cover with few
inches of fine loan to absorb any
ammonia that may possibly be set
free, and moisten occasionally with
water or with liquid manure. In
from six weeks to six months an ex-
cellent fertilizer will result, similar
in all essential particulars to CONNER
cial superphosphate, with the addi-
ton OF the dung, and may be used
with like effect and on the same crops,
reckoning. of course, on the quantity
of bone put into the combination,
not on the amount of the compost
itself. The time occupied by the
operation depends on the ineness OF
the material used ranging from
"ground bone" to whole skeleton
of an OK or horse-and on the care
taken in its management. The heap
should be torked over often enough
to prevent undue heating or fire
tanging," while the moisture keeps
up a rapid decomposition. The
coast of this will be the price paid
for the bones, if anything added
to the labor-in all not more than
one-half to two-thirds the cost Of
purchasing superphosphates. And in
the home made product, we have the
security of pure article. Of course
this method cannot replace entirely
the use of the phosphate Of the mar
ket, but for the saving of the waste
bones, dead animals, etc, about the
farm, it is worthy of trial by the
economical husbaudman.

Orange Parasites.
From the Sun and Press.

From the Sun and Press.
Our readers may remember that
we published few weeks ago, let
ter from J. H. Bostick, to the New
York Smn, on the subject of para
sites on the orange and lemon. Par
ties in California interviewed Mr..
Bostick and obtained specimens from
him, of the parasite in question,
which, upon examination, proved to
be what is known in Europe as the
orange scale, which attacks both tree
and fruit. Whether it differs from
the scale insect that afflicts the trees
IN Florida, we are unable to say, but
we have noticed the common scale
on the orange fruit in this State, and
presume it draws sustenance from
the leaves and bark of the tree, and
rind of the fruit. That there are sew
eral varieties of scale insects, is well
known, and our California neighbors
are just now a good deal excited
over the appearance Of the red-scale
bug, which is doing great deal Of
damage to both trees and fruit in the
San Gabriel Valley.
Itwon't do bit Of good to attempt
to disguise the fact that the scale
bugs have got possession Of our
orange trees, and our only source is
to wage an exterminating war on the
parasites. The best and cheapest
remedy we have found is strong soap
suds, applied with garden syringe
to the foliage and twigs, and with
scrubbing-brush to the bodies of
the trees. We are using this sea-
son strong solution Of whale-ol
soap, with the addition of half
pound of nuriate of potash to the
bucketful, and the mixture not only
seems to be a good insecticide, but
has tendency to make the trees
look green and thrifty, and the bark
lively and smooth. Kerosene oil is
used by many people to exterminate
scale, but our advice is to avoid the
application of all oily substances to
the foliage or bark of trees, unless
first converted into soap, which is
soluble in water.

Painting Walls.

Vi course, says the american
Builder, everybody knows, or ought
to know, that walls and ceilings are
finished with plaster: But every
body may not be aware that plaster
has the property of absorbing moist
ure. This, perhaps, will not take
place in rooms where a fire is kept
steadily; but in rooms left, as is Of
ten the case, for weeks without fire.
the walls will take up considerable
quantity of damp. The effect will
be injurious 20 the health of the
inmates. There are few persons
who have not suffered from a mystic
rious ld,caught they know not how,
though, perhaps, damp in the plaster
may have had something to do with
it. The extent to which damp is alb.
sorbed in plastered wall, may be
discovered by noticing what so often
takes place in rooms where the walls
are painted and have become chilled
by a season of cold weather. AS
soon as the temperature becomes
warmer, the atmosphere is condensed !,
on walls at times, in such quantities !
as to run off in streams. Now, had
it not been for the paint the greater
portion or this moisture would have
been absorbed by the plastered walls.
And as a consequence the quality of
the plaster would have been impaired
and the room made unwholesome.

Homestead Patents.

As many have been benefited by our
publication of the lists of land patents
granted, and many thus aided, as we
learn from the U. S. Land Office at
Gainesville, to obtain their patents. we
re-publish the last list sent us. Special
attention is called to the following para
graphs of Circular, April Is, 1879, late
ly issued by U. S. Land Commissioner,
J. A. Williamson:
"Any settler desiring to make final
proof must first file with the register of
the proper land Office, a written notice
of his intention to make final proof.
Such notice must describe the land
claimed, and the claimant must give the
names and residences of the witnesses
by whom the necessary facts as to settle
ment, resid cultivation, ETC., are to
be established"
The filing of such notice mast be
accompanied By deposit Of sufficient
money to pay the cost Of publishing the
notice to be given by the Register"

ROOt-Pruning the Young Tomato
Plant.

Mr.. Cheever, in the Connecticut
Board of Agriculture, said Some
one in the audience, l believe, in
quired if root-pruning or the check
ing Of growth had been practically
successful 1.-THE culture of other than
corn plants. l would say that the
same principal operates in the meth
DDS Of transplanting tomato plants as
adopted by those who grow these
plants for sale. / have in years past
grown hundreds of thousands of to-
mato plants for country and village
trade. l have drawn here upon the
blackboard a rough illustration
showing the appearance of a tomato
plant standing in the hot-bed prev
ious to transplanting. 1t represents
the plant with its seed leaves about
two inches above the surface of the
earth, and its inch or more of growth
above the seed leaves. The root, as
you will see, is as long or longer than
the stem, and nearly free from
branches. 1t is single tap root,
with very few fibrous roots attached.
Now, if this plant is allowed to re.
main in the seed-bed undisturbed,
this main root will extend itself a
long distance in the soil, perhaps sew
eral feet. Two or three other roots
of similar character will gradually ex-
tend themselves in as many direct
tions from the stem Of the pant, but
they will present the same general
appearance-long and slender, like
whip lashes. Such a plant is practi-
cally worthless for setting in the field
or garden. 1t has no roots through
which sufficient amount of moisture
can be taken from the soil to supply
the loss by evaporation when trans
planted; consequently the plant wits,
and perhaps dies. 1t will certainly
be severely checked in its growth.
Now, to grow good plant, such as
people who know good one will
buy, we take up this little slender
seeding when but two or three
inches above ground and transplant
it into new bed, setting the stem at
least an inch deeper than it grew be-
fore. This lifting breaks the end
from the one or more roots and
checks the plant in its growth; but
it is still in our hands, and if properly
treated may yet make good plant,
such as will delight the purchaser.
The soil and atmosphere Of the new
hot-bed or cold-frame, as the case
may be, being in the proper condi-
ton, the plant will in few days pre-
sent an entirely changed appearance.
The original long, slender roots re-
main with little change, but new
roots push out from the crown of the
plant, and even from the entire length
of that portion of the stem set below
the surface. Instead of the one, two
or three slender roots, the plant has
now scores of them. They are al
most as thick set as hair on an ami.
NAL, and if the plant is again trans.
planted, it has such great number
