The COdling Moth.

1t appears from all the accounts
which we receive of the damage done
to the apples by the codling moth that
the evil is spreading rapidly. For some
years past many remedies have been ad-
vised as reliable, but still the evil
spreads SO that last year some parties
declared that more than half of their ap-
Piles were destroyed by that pest, the
codling moth. Wishing to make my
self more fully acquainted with the hab-
its of the codling moth, collected and
opened several crabs which were in
jured by the pupe of the moth. took
twelve of those and placed them in two
crabs; then burnt some earth in the
stove till knew all insect life was de-
stroyed in it: then 1 dampened it a little
and put about three inches of it into a
glass jar; on the top of the earth in the
Jar placed the crabs in which / had
put the pupe. then covered the top
of the jar with piece of paper which
pierced with a pin. They soon left the
crabs and went into the earth and we're
formed into chrysalis: in that state they
did not remain long, when they came
out the full grown moth. 1 then found
they were very partial to water sweet
ened with honey. In 1879 l placed a
gallon mustard jar in my orchard, in
which had some water sweetened with
honey, and in that caught large num-
bers of them, and also of many bee
moths. l found my apples and crabs
were not so much injured as they had
previously been. Last year l placed
jars so prepared again, and in two
nights / caught about hundred moths,
so that very little of my fruit was in
jured, and all who saw my orchard were
quite surprised to see my fine fruit, and
so free from the ravages of the moth. l
expect next year to completely eNter-
inmate the moths in my orchard.
Any vessel in which the honey and
water are placed should be such IS q
gallon mustard jar. SO that the moths
could have easy access to the sweetened
water, but could not easily get out.
Then the moths should be removed
every two or three days, for if there are
too many left in the water others will
light on them and be able to fly out. The
moths only fly at night.
Those who have bees should be care
full and remove the jars in the day,
otherwise many bees will be lost. l ell
ways in two or three days remove the
moths with piece of wire cloth fast
ened to the end of stick, and kill those
which are alive.-Cor. Canada Farmer.

Cleanliness In the Factory.

There is a little point about the man.
agement of factories to which we would
like to call attention. In visiting cheese
factories we have on many occasions,
and by far too many, noticed a strong,
pungent smell pervading the air in all
directions. In many instances we were
not at first able to solve the question in
our own minds as to what caused the
smell. Those who were at work in the
factory had gradually become SO accus-
toned to it they did not notice il, but,
as there was a great similarity to the
smell at different factories, we con-
cluded the trouble lay in some cause
common to them all. On diligent search
we discovered it came from whey that
had been allowed to escape from the vat
and leak through the cracks of the
floor. Whey is frequently rich with
butter globules that have escaped from
the milk, and as they are made of, or
are full of, oil or butter there is, of
course, matter subject to decay, and, in
q hot temperature, if not removed or
cleaned up, they soon take on highly
offensive smell. To prevent this the
floors of factories should be made of
planks tongued and grooved, and, if
necessary, either doubled, or better yet,
caulked like the deck of ship, until
water cannot pass through it. This
smell is, of course, highly detrimental
to the good quality of either butter or
cheese, and must have a depressing et-
feet upon buyers or other persons visit
ing the factory. Now is the time to
look after all these little matters before
active work begins in the SPRING
american Ddiryman.

The Parsees Of Bombay.

Seeing for the first time hosts of men

looks like a section of stovepipe glazed
and then dotted all over with infinitesi-
NAL gilt specks, said stovepipes minus
rim and the back bent down toward the
front as if intended to be used rs

impulse is to shout with laughter; and
it is only when this " shocking bad hat
is understood to be the badge of their
persecution. their cross, put upon them
in derision, which they have carried
gladly and proudly, despising the shame
for faith sake and so elevated to the
dignity of crown, we bend before il
in respectful reverence. The Parsees
are immensely rich and powerful, no
matter whether that wealth was &C.
quired by Inheritance, by frugality or
commerce. Splendid and luxurious
carriages drawn by two and not infre-
quently four full-blooded Arabian
horses, with a syce or footman running

THROUGH THE SNOW.

The cutter stopped before the gate
Out sprang her highness lightly;
Haif coy, half cool. this cruel Kate
And altogether slightly.
In mock distress exclaimed she: "Ohl
How far we must have riddenI
For. under this fast-falling snow,
The walks entirely hidden!"
Entirely hidden 1t was and more,
For. as the catch lifted,
Six inches deep, from gate to door,
saw the snow had drifted.
"Ughr" shuddered she. "You lead the way r.
Was her command next spoken.
10 hear, at once was to obey:
And. through the snow unbroken,
stalked with steady, ample feet;
With lifted skirts she followed,
Daintily stepping. while her neat
Footprints in mine were swallowed.
Back to her mirthful, puzzling face
looked across my shoulder,
And wondered IL she'd smile with grace
On me, should grow bolder.
!" Why may not you and t. said,
Through life thus walk toyether2
Sress Sreas sss ss, Tss s with happy tread
She did not answer me a word,
But one sweet glance permitted,
And then, before me, like bird,
Into the house she fitted
And through the snow and from the gloom
Her fairy footprints drew me
Into the cheerful. coy room,
Where love surrendered to me.
Ahi in our welded life since then
Snow-storms have broken o'er me;
But always, into light again,
It's she has walked before me-.

THE DAIRY.

New York dealers prefer to buy
butter packed in ash tubs and Boston
men that in spruce, each claiming to
represent the wishes of England. West
ern men claim white oak is the best.
Laws requiring the marking of all
packages of oleomargarine with letters
Of a certain size, have been passed in
New York, Massachusetts,, Illinois and
Iowa One is being framed for Penn
sylvania.
The necessity for a large variety of
grasses and clovers, in order to secure
the best flavor and aroma for butter, is
now recognized by the best dairymen.
Some farmers still go on stupidity, SOW
ing only timothy and one kind of clover.
Feed for Cows in Winter.-There
Is no better food than clover hay or well
cured corn fodder, cut and well mixed
with corn, oats and wheat or rye bran
ground together in equal parts. -Four
to six quarts day of this ground feed
may be given to a COW that is milking
well. II the labor of cutting and pre-
pairing the food is more than the extra
milk is worth the feed may be given
dry. But the cut and moist feed will
add at least one-third to the quantity of
milk and one-third less hay or fodder
will be used.
The new method of gathering cream
instead of milk was discussed with favor
at the National Butter, Cheese and Egg
Convention in Cedar Rapids, Ia. 1t was
thought unfair to compare a long es-
tablished system with one in its infancy,
but the burden of testimony went to
show that if farmers could be taught to
set their milk properly and to skim it in
the best way. the gathering of cream
would be success. 1t is being quite
generally adopted by Iowa farmers. 1t
is paid for by the inch in most cases.
One owner of several creameries said
his patrons have received only twenty
five cents q hundred pounds more under
the old system than the new, and they
had their skinned milk and had not
had to send wagon to the creamery or
cheese factory.

UnderclOthing.

Now that the spring winds have be-
gun to blow, the time of influenza re-
turns. and whyp We discussed the
matter in the sitting-room the other
day, and this is the way Aunt Helen
expressed herself: Itruly believe that
more than one-half the colds caught,
and iniiuenzas from which the women
of farmers families suffer so much, are
traceable directly to an insufficiency of
underclothing. Nothing like the use
that City people make ot flannel is COM
mon in the country. Many neglect the
matter from mistaken supposition that
such things are all a matter of habit,
and that to 90 somewhat thinly clad
hardens the constitution know wives
and daughters of farmers in good cir
cumstances who make almost no change
in their clothing from summer to win
ter. II they add to their calico or de-
laine dresses q cotton underwaist and
baste some cotton lining into the
sleeves, it is considered sufficient. Oc-
casionally q canton flannel underskirt is
indulged in, but real flannels are es-
chewed; a vague notion being enter
tanned that they are heavy and burden
some to carry about. Underwrappers,
to be most serviceable, should be made
of light and soft, but not thin flannel,
and should be moderately close fitting.
There is nothing better for jackets than
soft, flexible red flannel, even though
its old-fashioned claims rs q specific for
rheumatism be disallowed. The draw
ers should reach to the ankles, and the
skirts gored to avoid too much weight.
The union of warmth with lightness is
the most desirable thing to secure.
Thus protected and with feet we'll shod,

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

-Kedgeree.-Boilt two tablespoonfuls
of rice and drain it as dry as possible.
Have ready some previously-oooked
fish, pulled with forks into nice small
pieces, and free from AL bones and
skin; add it to the rice and make it hot
over the fire. Just before serving beat
up two eggs and stir we'll into the rice
and fish. Add little cayenne and salt
to taste.
Pie Plant Pie.-Slice very thin into
an earthen dish. Allow a large coffee
cupful of pie-plant to a large teacup-
full of white sugar and two teaspoon
fuls of flour. Stir together, let stand
while making the crust.
An inexpensive boiled fruit pud-
ding may be made by mixing one cup
full Of sugar. two cupfuls of sweet milk,
one egg, a little salt, half nutmeg.
two cupfuls of dried currants, chopped
raisins or sliced sweet apples, enough
flour for stiff batter and two tea
spoonfuls of baking-powder. Pour the
batter into a buttered mold, tin pail
or a Toured pudding-cloth and let it
boil for about three hours in plenty of
water.

During the past season the Kansas
State Agricultural College has kept an
exact account of the cost of raising
corn, winter wheat, andoats. Corn,
twenty-five and one-half acres, forty
seven bushels per acre, costing four
teen cents per bushel. Wheat,
seventeen acres, seventeen bushels per
acre, costing fifty-four cents per bushel.
Oats, sixteen acres, yielding twenty
bushels per acre, costing twenty
eight cents per bushel The ac-
count includes the cost OF seeds,
planting, cultivating. harvesting and
marketing, the item of labor being
charged at the average price. The
amount of wheat per acre was very
light.
Some flower seeds cannot be placed
in the soil too early in spring, provided
they have a good mellow bed of fine
earth. Others would rot and never
grow. The former are the hardy sorts;
the latter the tender ones. Without GO
ing into q long list of either, they may
be known by observing which has been
most quickly, and which least affected
by annual frosts. Verbenas, for in
stance, are hardy, and cannot be sown
too early. The morning glory, cypress
vine, ETC., must be left till the soil and
weather becomes warm. The same rule
will apply to vegetables; peas are to be
sown early. beans several weeks after
wards. The first endure moderate
frost, the latter are killed by it.
