Insects ON Roses.

The Canada Globe gives the follow
ing remedy for the riddsnce Of insects
on rose plants and other shrubbery:
This remedy Is said to be good for
all plants, including cherry trees afflict-
ed with black apps. Into quantity
tof good strong domestic softsoap pour
q quantity of crude carbolic acid, stir
we'll together, and allow to stand for 2
few hours. Two or three tablespoon
fuls of the acid to quart of soap may
first be tined. Test the compound by
mixing little of it with soft water. If
too much acid has been added, only
particles of carbolic acid will be obsery-
ed floating on the surface, and more
soap should be added. Make it as
strong with acid as the soap will per-
fectlT cut The refined acid may be
used when the crude is not at hand
When prepared make a moderately
strong suds and apply with syringe or
sponge. In using on very delicate
plants, should any fear be felt for the
plants. they can be Iinsed off after a
few minutes. Not having home made
soap, dissolved nice bar soap andused
that, and applied the carbolic suds with

FACTS FOR THE FARMER.
Rye for Pasture

Henry Ives, in the New York Iri-
buRe, says: at has been a favorite
practice with me to SOW rye on every
available space unoccupied by regu-
lar farm crop, or as soon as such crop
Is taken from the ground, except where
wheat or grass was to follow instead.
This l do to either pre-occupy the
ground TO prevent its growing up to
weeds or TO raise a green crop to be
plowed under, or for pasturing, or for
crop, or for both the latter purposes.
think rye is preferable to any other
grain for the uses, being the most hardy
and reliable of them all. / have sown
it any time from July to and through
December, and had it do almost equally
well; having sown in corn at the last
cultiyating; pastured it all the fall after
the corn was taken of, and the next
May plowed under heavy green crop
to plant potatoes. Have sown in the
middle of August, then pastured all
the late fall and spring, then saved it
/ for good harvest crop. Have sown it
the first of September, and after ground
was frozen in; in winter it would fur
nish the stock quite an amount of
green feed
At other times | have sown rye Just
| before the winter set in, either Novem-
| Der or December. when it would come
up very early IN the spring and give a
| good crop. No weather or treatment
or insect seems to affect it much.
Have plowed heavy growth of it I'M
der in November and December when

rootlets of this hardy growing crop,
and such dense body Of it as to keep
the frost out, allowing it to be plowed
after other ground was frozen hard
Have plowed it under in May when it
was three and half feet high, using a
chain, and the hoed crop on that
ground would resist the drought, as the
land seemed to hold the moisture bet
ter than any other. 1t is sometimes
thought to be better, when designed for
a crop, to have rye pastured rather
close until, say, the 10th Of May, or
Whereabouts, after which it will grow
not quite so tall, hut even and thick
crop on the ground.
On this same principle l have heard
Of some moving the early growth off
before its heading, and after that Oh
tain fair harvest crop, but l would
not Recommend this on strong, rich
land. Some would not SOW rye on
their farm, for they say they never
would get rid of it, but it would come
up in the crops for years afterward;
but | pay no attention whatever to
such complaints, for in making them
such men acknowledge that they are
not masters Of their profession, and if
it was not rye they would let weeds, or
thistles. or some other foul growth
take more or less of the space and of
the plant-food which would have gone
to make good clean crop for the hus-
bandman. In growing rye for a crop.
the ground grain makes excellent feed,

as the hay

Hints TO Flax Growers.

The Minnesota Linseed Oil Company
has issued the following letter of advice
to its patrons respecting the cuttirg and
curing of flax:
As the season for cutting flax APP

word of advice and caution as To har-

First, cutting most of the
bolls and lower part Of the stalks have
turned yellow, and the leaves have
turned slightly brown, and the lower
leaves have dropped OIL it is ready to
harvest. At this stage it will cut as cas-
lily rs wheat. Be careful not to cut be-
fore ripe. Unripe seed cannot be prop
erly filed out, and must fall short in

Use smooth knife in your reaper.
Cut high-only low enough to get all

Second, shocking-set it up rs soon

The Boldest Robbery on Record
Kansas City Journal.


On the last dav of the Kansas City
Exposition in 1872. the James and
Younger brothers committed a robbery
which for boldness and startling origi-
nallty discounted the efforts of any
robbers before or since. At 3 O'Clock
IN the afternoon, after Mr.. Hall, the
treasurer of the association, now of the
Chicago Jockey Club, had been around
to the various entrances 10 collect the
money, six ordinary appearing men
rode up to the office ut the principal
gate, and one of them looking through
the window, said to Mr.. Hall, as if from
curiosity:
"How much money is there in that
box"
To which the accommodating treas
urer replied that there was in the
neighborhood of $4,000. Then said
the inquisitive stranger:
Suppose Jesse James should come
along here and tell you to give that up,
what would you do?'
Il should refuse" said Mr.. Hall,
laughingly.
"Well, | am Jesse James," said the
questoner, leaning half way through
the window, and holding a cooked navy
under the treasurer's nose, land |
reckon you better pass that money
over"
Mr.. Hall thought so too and acted
accordingly. The money was placed
i'll a sack carried by one of the party,
and they rode calmly down Twelfth
street IN full view of the populace.
The cheek displayed can only be
appreciated when the fact is taken
into consideration that there were at
least calculation 10000 people on the
ground, and men were passing in and
out the gate every minute.
That evening party of men rode
up IN front of a newspaper office on
Fourth street and called loudly 10y

came down stairs and was presented
with an elegant gold watch and chain

TWO MILES OF SPERM WHALES
Seven Hundred of Them Going on a

Coffee.

The culture of coffee in Mexico is
becoming a more extensive and profit
able industry than is generally known.
There are now many large coffee plan
tations in the country, and the amount
of capital and labor invested increases
largely with every year. The land can
be purchased for about 80 per acre,
and the work required to clear and pre-
pare it for the coffee plant is slight in
most localities. The plants, from six
months to a year old, are set in rows
from eight to ten feet apart, and about
SIX feet apart in the row. Coffee is Of
ten produced two years from the plant
ing of the seed, but profitable bearing
begins only when the plant is -four or
five years old. At the end of seven
years the field will be sufficient to re-
pay the owner for all previous outlay
and labor, and the land does notrequire
replanting for r.any years. Another
advantage in favor Of coffee culture is
that the raising OF many other varieties
Of tropical fruit can be combined with
it by planting between the rows. The
coffee tree, when left alone, will grow
to height Of fifteen or twenty feet, but
it Is usually nipped about six feet fir m
the ground, thus giving more vigor to
the branches and stock. The berries
while growing are Of grassy green,
but when ripe turn TO 4 bright led.
Though the plant Is continuously flow
ering and developing fruit, the actual
harvest season is from November to
April. The berries when gathered are
spread to dry in the sun, after which
they are hulIed and stored away Cot

Mr.. John Massey, well-to-do far
mer, near Bridgeton, in St. Louis coun-
", is quite bee fancier Among other
animals upon his well-stocked farm was
a blind horse, and an excellent animal
he was, barring the loss Of sight. A
few days ago the horse was turned into
q small pasture, and adjoining this was
a lot containing twenty-seven stands OF
bees. An open gate gave the animal
access to both Enclosures, and his famil-
iarity with the premises was such that
he passed from one to the other. nip
ping grass, as though possessed OF two
good eyes. The poor blind horse at last
lost his bearings, stumbled in among
the beehiyes ard upset several stands.
Out poured the bees from their honey
comb, in thousands, TO punish the de-
spoiler of their sweet homes. How
long they were IN recognizing the horse
as their foe Is not known, for IT was on
ly learned by his groans and neighs OF
pain that anything unusual had hap
pened. No one could do thing to re-
lieve the suffering beast, for the bees
were mad. Left unmolested tie bees
spent their whole fury upon the horse,
covering every inch of his hide from
head to foot and singing him to death
In about twenty minutes.
