The Chicago Times discusses the oleomar-
garine question. over which the butter trade
is Just now much agitated taking issue with
those who assert the EMBELLISHMENTS of the
new compound, and says that it is simply
beef suet deprived of the inclosing cellular
tissue and large proportion of It's stearine.
1t believes the farmers who oppose its intro
ductiOn are mistaken in believing that it will
ultimately injure them, inasmuch as the
manufacture of oleomargarine renders the
hard fat of beeves a very important article of
commerce, and enables every farmer to OBJ
tain more for the cattle he sends to market.
The animals slaughtered for the New York
market average about 30 pounds of fresh caul
fat per head from which - pounds of oleo-
margarine oil is extracted, having a CONNER
cial value of between L. and 20 cents per
pound Last year about lon, OOO, 600 pounds
Of oleomargarine Were manufactured in this
country, having commercial value of ut
least Tl7, 900, 900. large proportion of
this money went into the hands of farmers
as the result of the invention of a foreign
chemist. Suet, from which oleOmargarne is
extracted, is aS much farm product as milk
from which butter is made. The manufac-
ture of oleomargarine can but result the
Times argues. in increasing the price of beef
cattle. 1t is rather singular that those who
make the greatest cutlery against oleOmarga-
rine are the very ones who use it most ex-
tensively. They are the proPrietors of COM
hined butter and cheese factories. Many of
them, it says, skim their milk till it is entire

ufaotured mlO gilt-edged creamery butter
and disposed OF at fancy prices The skim
milk, pure and undefled," is converted into
curd, mixed with oleomargarine, colored with
annatto, and put on the market as Fall

products defend this practice or keep the
public in ignorance in respect to it. They
have nothing to say against oleomargarine
cheese, but are loud in denouncing the man
ufacture. of and trade in oleomargarine but

British Agriculture and a n,eriCan Com

James Card, authority in agricultural mat
tiers in Great Britain, writes as follows, &C
cording to Il cable dispatch from London,
May IL
There has been nothing like the present
depression in the agricultural interest since
the repeal of the corn laws. In nine years
there have been seven defective wheat har
vests. Inf England, where the bulk Of tie
wheat crop is grown, there have been lost in
these years one-fourth more than the whole
years wheat crop, a loss to growers Of more
than c3O, 600, 900 sterling, with no compcnsa-
ton in higher prices. The introduction of
foreign meat and cereals is of immense bene-
fit to the consuming class Of Europe. 1t must
be met by the production of articles which
will not bear long storage or carriage such
as milk, fresh butter early meat, vegetables,
hay, straw, potatoes and sugar beet. Grass
farms, darying and market gardening aud all
interests in the land, whether owner, occu-
pier or laborer, must be dsinthralled. The
control of dead land must be removed. and
the sale of land must be simplitied and cheap
ened. Encountered and upwieldly estates
will then be broken up and subdvided to
form numerous small properties The drain
of agricultural labor and capital to the United
States and Canada will alter existing coudi-
tions Of agricultural property in England
Our agriculture must adapt itself to the
change, freely accepting the good it brings
and skillfully using the advantages which
greater proximity to the best market must al
ways command.

There is scarcely any land free from the
wire worm, or any crop that IS not subject to
their voracity. They occur wherever grass
will grow, being particularly harbored among
clover roots, and are always prevalent in
meadow and pasture lands, seeming TO thrive
best in the vicinity of swamps and woods.
Young oats, wheat, rye and barley suffer
much from being partially or entirely cut off
below the surface, cabbages and many root
crops are also injured; turnips, perhaps,
more than any other, as they are cut of when
young, and have the roots badly eaten into
when larger. In gardens they are very de
structive. II appears that Indian corn is the
greatest sufferer, especially when it is the
first crop planted in new land. or when the
season is cold, wet and late. Upward of thir-
ty have been found in a single HILL and near
ly the whole of the seed planted is sometimes
destroyed
One of the most successful remedies on a
large scale is a mixture consisting of two
parts of quick lime, three parts of SCOT, and
one part of coarse or refuse salt. This is
used as top dressing, being applied imme-
diately after compromising, and should be
well rolled in. 1t has the advantage of being
perfectly harmless to the crops. Indeed, it
is a most excellent and powerful fertilizer as
well as a destroyer of all kinds of insects and
many weeds. Refuse from gas works, nitrate
of soda, rape cake and chloride of lime, mix
ed and spread with manure, are highly rec
commended, and the sowing of soda ash or
guano broadcast when planting. A previous
crop of white mustard is claimed TO clear the
land of them, presumably by starving out
for the roots of the mustard are extremely
acrid and occupy the soil to the exclusion of
any more nutritious ones. close grazing
with sheep seems beneficial when pastures
are badly infested. The same result is also
obtained by compacting the surface with
heavy rollers - ETchdHge.

1t is All easy matter to train IA heifer to

but it is easier to train them to jump, kick,

there is naught to hinder wild heifer from
