CABBAGE WoRMs.-Hot water thrown
upon the plants will kill the cabbage
worm. Be careful that it is not hot
enough to scald the cabbages. A mar
ket gardener who grows cabbage on q
large scale recommends a mixture of
twenty parts of superph0sphate of lime,
one Part of carbolic powder and three
parts Of fresh air slaked lime, small
handful of which should be scattered
over each head.

"PIcKLED" SEED-CoRN.-It carnot
be too widely known that seed-corn
can be effectually 'pickled' without risk
to rocks and other birds, and with saw
ing to the farmer. The following is
the recipe: For sack of corn (four
bushels) take half a pint Of gas tar,
one pound of vitrol, and one gallon Of
hot water; pour the liquid we'll mixed,
over the seed with a common watering
pot twelve hours before sowing. If
seed-cOrn of any kind is thus treated
rocks will not touch it, for they, as well
as other birds, appear to have a great
dislike tU the tar. The expense Of crow
keepers is also by this plan avoided.

PASTURE IN SPRING. - Great care
should be exercised in making the
change from hay to grass diet. A good
plan is to turn cattle into home pas

three weeks, feeding also hay; they
will thus be prepared for living on
grass alone, and having become accus-
toned by moderate exercise TO walking,
they will drive more readily.

CULTURE OF CABBAGE.-Since the ad-
vent of the cabbage worm almost every
one has been at u loss to know what to
do 20 raise n few oabbages. SoLce have
tried one thing and some have tried
another, and mostly to no purpose.
Last year set about three hundred and
thirty-five plants, and picked OF the
worms by hand as they came, for about
two weeks which took some two hours
each day. This seemed to be too much
work, and as have q well of soft water
near by, took five-pail kettle, BET it
near the well, put into it pint of soft
soap and the same of salt, and then fill
ed it up with water. 4 let this stand
till the water was warmed by the sun,
and then after stirring it up we'll, l
took my waterproof and applied 1t at the
rate of about gallon TO forty heads,

every day and the result was l had the
incest and hardest cabbages that were

ten cents per head although cabbage
was very cheap here. Some make a
practice of buying their plants, but /

BARNYARD AND ARTIFICIAL FERTILE
ZERs.-ln u recent address in England
ON chemistry in its relations TO aXricul-
ture, Mr.. j. b Lawes submitted the
following general conclusions arrived
at by experiments. That u mineral
superphosphate of lime has given Il
considerable Increase in each crop of q
rotation, although used without any
other manure tor a period of thirty
years. That in consequence OF grains
containing large quantities OF nitrogen
and phosphoric acid and small quHnti-
ties OF potash, manures containing SOL
uble phosphoric acid and soluble nitro
gen. IA ammonia or nitro acid, are es-
pecially applicable to these crops. That
where crops containing large quantities
of potash, such as roots, potatoes, and
hay, are sold of the farm, manures
containing potash, such AS purchased
dungs, appear To be more suitable.
That although potash. phosphoI ic acid,
and nitrogen are the chiet manure in
gradients in farmyard dung, In the
manure from artificial foods, and in
artificial manures, still the differences
in form i'm which these substances are
met with greatly affect their value; the
present method of analyzing manure
does not properly recognize these dis
tincnons, and the valuations founded
upon these analyses are altogether false
and erroneous.

BEES AND HONEY PLANTs.-I had
two hundred colonies OF hybrid bees
last autumn, and have not lost more
than six. The winter having been
unusually cool, bees have not been out
as much as usual and consequently los
ses have been less. Our bee season
commences IN February and continues
TILL near December, giving Us u long
working season, when we take care to
keep succession of flowers for pastur-
age. In September we usually have
the greatest drought of the season and
nearly all our wild flowers are dried up.
During this dry season Ii nothing Is
prepared by cultivation for pasturage,
the bees get scarcely enough TO subsist
upou. Our lucerne meadows give great
help, but generally AS soon as the plants
get we'll in blossom, the mower Sp0llS
all the prospects of honey from that
source. In all my experience with
bees, l find MignOnette the most valua-
BILE for bee paSLurRge. This L Announ-
ced through the bee journals several
years ago, and continued experience
has strengthened that conclusion. That
plant blooms early and continues to
blossom till nipped by frost. have
not shade of doubt but that we'll
cultivated acre of this plant would give
abundant employment for 500 colonies.
Sweet clover comes next 70 Miguonettee
in value for bees. There is little doubt
but that this pant will yield honey
| faster than MiXnonette, but being u
| perennial, it costs double what the 9TH
| or does that blossoms annually and Is
self-seeding after having once been
| started. There Is still another very
valuable plant for bees, known as the
American bee plant" that was intro
duced into the east in 1858. Ii grows
