A New Pest Tor Farmers.

The New jersey experimental agri-
cultural station at New Brunswick has
ately received sample of cloverseed
ffom Wilson Fitzgerald & Co., of Cam.
den, which contained numbers of the
Larvae of some insect. The seed came
from Kempton, Pa. Professor Cook
director of the station, submitted it to
A. S. Fuller, of Ridgeport, for microsco
PIC examination, and he reports that
the Larvae are, IN his opinion, those 4
the cedidomya tritollii of Lintner. and
closely allied to the Hessian fly and
wheat midge. Its females deposit the
egg in the seed while in the clover head
in the field. When the clover is ripe
and falls down in autumn the larva
crawl out, enter the ground and remain
there to finish or complete their trans
formation, coming forth as flies the fol-
lowisg season. But if the cloverseed is
gathered or the hay cut, the grubs or
pupm are also gathered, and while most
of them will be killed in hulling the
seed, still a few may escape destruction
Heating the seed or violently shaking it
in some kind of a mill would probably
be the most judcious way of destroying
the grubs or pupa. If the seed was
placed in tight barrels, with little gum
camphor or pure benzine, it would kill
the insects and not injure the germ OF
the seed. Farmers should look'to this
matter and see that all insects in their
cloverseed are destroyed before putting
it awav in the fall, or sending it to the
market

A Lost Lover.
Washinntnn L nilnI

The officers OF the Government receive
some very amusing letters now and
again. Gen. Walker, the superintendent
of the census, received doleful account
the other day of lost lover. The letter
was bona fide one and was from lady,
an unmarried lady, from one of the
Southern States.
She said her lover left her fifteen
wears ago, taking with him, as loan
from her, few hundred dollars that
her uncle had left her. She gave the
name of her lover as also her own, and
said her lover might possibly be dead.
She had certainly not heard from him
since he went away, although she had
taken great pains to discover his where
abouts. She had been waiting for the
names of the census to be published,
but she was getting tired Of waiting.
Therefore she begged that General
Walker would look over the names and
tell her where her truant lover could be
found, or if he was dead to tell her
where he was buried. She enclosed n
stamp for a reply. Gen. Walker has not
vet had time to go through the fifty
millions of names TO oblige this faithful
woman, but If he does it at all it will be
some rainy Sunday when he can't go to
church.

She Kent the Secret,

On one of the excursions which left
Staunton in October, 1876, for the Cen.
tennial were two passengers, one young
lady of Rockbridge, whose bright face as
VEL as her bright mind had made her
as popular in Staunton society as at home;
and another was young gentleman OF
Staunton, temporarily residing in Rock
bridge, who contemplated shortly
removing to the far West. They were
devoted lovers, and, as the sequel will
show, the gentleman took such precau-
ton against the lady changing Der mind
during his expected absence, as was
insurmountable. Stopping in Baltimore
a few hours the lady and gentleman,
after the latter had procured a license,
repaired to the residence of the Rev.
Mr.. Murkl land, the famous Presbyterian
minister (the yonng lady being a Pres
byteran), }, and were united il. .wedlock.
They then returned to their respective
homes and there the secret was confided
to two of the groom's family and a
relative in Richmond, the lady making a
contidant of one of her family and a
devoted married lady friend. The groom
went West to make his fortune, and will,
in few days, return to claim his wife,
who has all along retained her maiden
name. Though the marriage took place
nearly five years ago. and seven persons
knew it, not word has leaked out
about it until within the last week, a
fact that entirely disposes of the asser>
ton that "a woman can't keep secret"
and also fact that makes each gossip in
Staunton tear his or her hair that they
didn't find it out in that length Of
time.

Hungarian and Millet.
L.. g.


These are excellent forage plants, ana
they possess some rare advantages for
farmers who desire to keep large
amount of stock on comparatively
small amount of land. They attain full
growth in a shorter time than any field
crop that con be raised. Being natives
of warm climates, 1t is best not to SOW
them till the last of June or the first of
July, as they delight in a warm soil and
air. Nothing is gained, and generally
considerable is lost, i'll sowing them early,
II sown as early as most grains, their
growth will be small, even though they
have the entire season TO mature in. II
a farmer sees that his crop Of grass is to
be small, he can make up for 1t bv SOW
ing quite largely of Hungarian and mil
let. In some cases good crops have been
raised on soil broken after Il crop of hay
had been taken off.
As these crops completely shade the
ground during several weeks, they leave
it in excellent condition in respect to
cleanliness. When first introduced many
reported unfavorable results from then
use. They were generally sown too early
to produce good crops, and cut too late
to leave the fodder in good condition for
stock. The quicker the growth the bet
ter is the quality of the fodder for all
kinds of stock. If not intended for seed
the harvesting should commence as soon
as the grain is formed and before 1t be-
gins TO harden. The crop should be cut
and secured without allowing it to be-
come wet. Injurious results sometimes
follow the use OF these crops on account
of the amount of dust they contain. To
obviate this the stalks should be cut sew
eral inches from the ground and gather
ed by the mandrake, as the teeth of a
horse-rake will raise and scatter large
amount of dust.

a cause of merriment and ridicule, but
in realitv il involves the serious question
as to whether it is good for man to
marry a woman who desires or will be

Is lifted from his back goes some of bis
self esteem, something of his sturdy in
dependence and his self>respect. His
pride in himself and his selfassurance
receive blow. We know there are
many worthless shirks whose unmanly
seliishness aud lack of pluck have
thrown the heavy burden of providing
for the home upon the slender shoulders
OF brave and patient wives. We know.
too, how nobly woman assumes such
duties when they arise before her, and
we know of her marvellous self-sacrifices
and endurance, but these are not the
money-earning wives we refer to. These
generally marry with all the pretty
dreams and hopes of wifehood that are
natural to young wives, and then, when
IT is too late, they discover that it is the
woman who must be strong and the wife
who must provide. Our original propo>
Htion is that a rightly proud man will do
any kind of work before he will let his
wife work for him. If bis wife has the
time and the fancy TO employ either her
brains or her fingers in tasks that will
bring remuneration, this money is hers
and not his, and when he begins TO look
forward to her earnings as part of his
income, he always begins to lose pride
in being the bread.winner and protector
Of his family. Another and very strong
moral reason why women whose hus.
bands can and do support them should
not seek paid work." is that they may
be taking work away from some woman
who really needs it..

fright at her cries, dropped the child and
fled to the mountains. Although severe

Travels of an Eye-stone.
Middletown Conn J Press.

MludletoWn lConn Press.
The following remarkable incident
has just come to our knowledge. 1t
would seem almost incredible were it
not for the absolute veracity of the
gentleman making the statement Mr..
Rufus Miller is well-known farmer of
this town, living at Mechanicstown.
Some five or six years ago, Just before
retiring, Mr.. Miller placed in his eye
what was known as an eyestone, for the
purpose of removing mote, as he had
frequently done before. For the benefit
of those OF our readers who nay not
know what an eye-stone is, We Will ex-
plain. 1t is a small, white, round she'll
about three-sixteenth OF an inch in
diameter. cencave on one side, convex
on the other and quite thin. 1t is taken
from the head of crab one being
found under each eye of that crustacean.
In the morning, when Mr.. Miller awoke
he could not find the stone. He made a
careful and thorough search, but all in
vain, and he made up his mind that it
was gone for good. A few weeks since
he felt a hard growth on the end of the
little finger of his right hand. He
showed it TO some friends, who conclud>
ed it was a warf and advised him to let
it alone. He did so until about week
since, when it began to be sore, and he
commenced picking at it. He soon found
out that seme hard substance was under
The skin and, digging away, he finally
took out his longlost eye-stone. He
examined it so carefully that there can
be no mistake. He now recollects that
at one time he experienced consider
able soreness in his wrist and supposed
at that period the stone was pressing in
that direction. How this bit of carbo-
paia of lime ever made that long journey
without being lost or absorbed is a
mystery. That it did so there can be no
doubt.
