"A writer in the Poultry Hard sug.
gests to owners of egg-eating fowls how
to get rid of the trouble. In the fall re

and salt, throw them in and let them
boil up once or twice, them take them
out and pour some melted butter over
them; add sugar and cinnamon; dish

Turkey Dressed with Oysters
For ten-pound turkey take two pints
of bread crumbs, half teacup of butter
cut in bits (not melted), one teaspoon
full of powdered thyme, or summer
savcry, pepper, salt, and mix thorough
ly. Rub the turkey well inside and oui
with salt and pepper, then fill with, first,
q spoonful of crumbs, then a few we'll
drained oysters; strain the oyster liquor
and use to baste the turkey. Cook the
giblets in the pan, and chop fine for the
gravy. A fowl of this size will require
three hours in q moderate oven.
"A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
advises farmers, instead of burying their
cabbages in the ground, thus running
the risk of freezing, damage by mice
and moles, or finding them half rotten
when wanted for use, to pull up the
heads, shake off the earth well, pull OF
a-few of the outside leaves and hang
them up in the cellar by twine tied to
the stems and nails driven into the
joists. The cellar, of course, must be
wen ventilated.
The clover-seed midge, Cecidomyo
trifolii, the insect which for few years
past has committed more or less dam
age in the clover fields of New York
has made its appearance along the lines
| of the Canada Southern Railway an6
elsewhere in the Dominion clover fields
doing considerable damage the pas
season. This pest is of the same family
as the Hessian fly, which it closely re
sembles. 1t lays its eggs in September
on the heads of clover, and the perfect
fly appears in June, lays its eggs, anc
the larv@ from these last are what cause
the damage. The Larvae are Of brigh
orange-red color and measure less THAI
an eighth of an inch in length. Tht
one remedy appears to be to stop grow
ing clover, though it is reported thai thu
cutting OF the first crop of clover some
what earlier than usual, about the time
the first heads are forming and then no
attempting to get seed crop, has haG
the effect of interrupting its ravages.
