TOBACCO WoRMs.-The practice OF
utilizing turkeys to destroy tobacco
worms has been In use in this county
to limited extent for a number of
years. 1t has been sufficiently tested
TO demonstrate the tact that there Is
really more merit In it than is general
~ conceded. A gentleman of this coun-
~ put out seven acres of tobacco, and
as soon as 1t began to grow OIL he built
a coop In the center of the field, in
which he placed turkey hen with
thirty young ones. The hen was kept
confined In the coop, but the young
turkeys were allowed to run at large
through the field. The experiment sue
ceeded admirably. Scarcely worm
could be found In the field the entire
season Of the tobacco; the little turkeys
Kept them picked OIL as fast as they
made their appearance. We learn that
other parties have been equally as sue
cessful in protecting their tobacco
from worms by utilizing turkey labor.
1t would be well for our tobacco grow.

DESICCATKD APPLEs. - The new
method OF rapid des,ccati0n Of fruit
which Is now followed on large scale
In many parts Of the country, has led
to a great Improvement in the quality
of dried fruits, and particularly Of
dried apples. By selecting the apples
the product is exceedingly white in ap-
pearance, and while the flavor is not
quite equal to that Of tho fresh fruit,it
is far superior to that of dried apples
as usually prepared. 1t Is said that
when dried by the rapid process the
apples may be exposed to the sun for
hours without becoming discolored.
The process Of deslCcation is very sim
pie. The apples are peeled, cored and
properly sliced by machine, after
which they are placed upon trays in
the Cesiccating room. Here, by means
of mechanical arrangement, they are
carried up one. side and descend upon
the other, when they are taken out
ready for packing. AS soon as one tray
is removed another takes its place, so
that the operation is continuous. Dur
Ing the process the fumes of sulphur
are used to bleach the fruit, but these
are sc perfectly absorbed by the apples
that no OdOr OF sulphur can be detected
In the drying room. The dried fruit
can be packed III boxes, and it will keep
Tor long time, preserving all It's ex-
cellent qualities. In water 1t swells up
and forms a jelly in the course of Il few
hours. The rapidlty and cheapness
OF the process, and the character OF
the product, insure tor it still wi
der application than 1t has yet re-
ceiyed,

AGRICULTURE.

RIPEN1Na MELONS UNDERdRoUND.-
AS well known. there are many plants
which thrust their seed vessels into
the ground, where the seeds are sub
sequently matured. The peanut Is a
good example Of q plant which con
stant1y exhibits this phepomenons .
Others again develop flowers and seeds
entirely underground, while many
aquatic plants ripen their seeds under
water. The Persians, who are extern
siv4 cultlvators Of melons, have the
curious practice OF covering this fruit
with earth at q certain stage. Such a
method Is in vogue among Perslans
who live in the neighborhood Of II flis,
In the Caucasus. Only the choicest
and best keeping variety, the true Dut-
ma, is grown. It Is long smooth kind
which attains weight of fifteen to
twenty pounds, and will keep till
Christmas. The deeply titled ground
snrina, and the seeds sown In drill
along the center. Finally, the plants
are left at a great distance apart, and
irrigation is effected thu ough the chan
nels between the beds, so that no water
touches the plants. The fruit sets In
June. and only one or two are left on
each shoot. When the fruit has at
tanned the size Of a mans fist the earth
ia followed out, and the shoot with
the exception OF the tip), together with
its fruit, Is buried therein to a depth
of one to one and half inches, where
it remains until the fruit Is almost
riIe, Considerable practical expert
ence is necessary In order to be able to
determine the exact moment when the
melons should be unearthed. When
the cultivator thinks that the time has
arrived, he wlthdraws the shoot and
Its fruit from tho ground. This Is
done toward evening, and tho fruit Is
left on the surface OF the ground, at
rached to the shoot; but care Is taken
to cut the fruit the next morning be-
fore the sun can reach 1t. 1t Is then in
a cool, dark, dry place, until ready for
eating.
COAL lar -EAery dny adds to our
high appreciation of this wonderful
material for various farm men. Dry
lumber coated with It becomes almost
imperishable, but its most remarkable
effects are upon green lumber. The
increased value of wood seasoned In a
sheltered place, Or coated with, oil has
long been known. Timber for place
requiring the greatest strength and du-
Gu Ill IlilS way CPC-
ry one knows the worthless character
Of poplar dried In the open air; but po-
plar seasoned under shelter is valuble
wood. The effect Of coal tar Is bt tier
than housing and many conts Of oil; it
excludes air and water, and the wood
becomes like iron. A board Of green
cottonwood, well coated, lies as straight
as the best pine, and it Is as durable
ustd upon the siIls and floors of 1arms
and around the openings upon swine
houses and fences 1t would return to
the farmer IN durability ten fold cost.
Were 1t Eot for appearances we should
advice It's use upon the outside Of
barns. Its remarkable preservatlve
properties and its extreme cheapncss
arc in It's favor. One barrel costing
two or three dollars, will coat the posts
for more than one mile of fence, or
would cover nearly all tho out build
1ngs on common farm. For al cheap
buildings we commend coal tar and
whitewash.

Onion Culture

For success in onion culture the soil
must be rich, light, deep, and in a stu
alton we'll exposed to the sun. Onions
do best when grown on the same soil
for several years in succession. Fer
tilizers should be kept near the surface,
as onion roots reach only few inches
downward. The ground should be
made ready as soon in spring as it can
be fairly worked and rolled to firm the
surface. Ashes are as good fertilizer
for onions as anything. but are apt to
bring in clover to the detriment of
the crop, and make work in wedding,
etc; leached ashes are preferable, if
the ground has been previously made
rich through other crops. On new soil
more "scullions are likely to grow
than if previously cultivated to the
crop. Sow only good thoroughbred
seed. thinlv in drills fifteen to eighteen
inches apart. adapting the drills to the
desired depth, which should be about
one fourth of an inch, compressed,
fine soil. If the soil has been pre-
viously made rich, ashes or other fer
tilizer may be applied broadcast on the
surface after the seed is put in. Weed
ing is tedious, so that it will be seen
that good preparation of the soil and
early culture Of the crop are essential
to economy. Keep clean Of weeds,
and the soil loose and mellow about
the plants, without hauling earth up to
them more than to renew that dis
placed; the bulbs grow mainly above
the surface, and do not need to be COW
cred more than they grow naturally
