Books and "Wcmankinj."

From "I he Library 10y Andrew Lang
One enemy of books must be mention
ed with the delicacy that belts the topic.
Almost all women are the inveterate foes,
not of novels, of course, nor peerages and
popular volumes Of history, but of books
worthy of the name. 1t is true that Isa-
belle d'Este and Madame de Pompadour
and Madame de Nlaintcnon were collect
ors /; and doubtless there are other brili
liant exceptions to IL general rule. But
broadly speaking, women detcst the books
which the collector desires and admires
First, they don't understand them Sec
ond, they are jealous Of their mysterious
charms third, books cost money and it
really il a hard thing for lady to see
money expended on what seems n dingy
old binding, or yellow paper, scored with
Grabbed characters. Thus ln,iies wage n
skirmishing war against booksellers cat
alOgues, and history speaks of husbands
who have had to practice the guile of
smugglers when they conveyed new
purchase across their own frontier. Thus
many men are reduced to collecting Elze-
virs. which go readily into the pocket
for you cannot smuggie a folio volume
easily. This invctsratc dislike of books
often produces II very Leplorable result,
when an old collector dies. His woman
kind, as the antiqnary called them, soil
all his treasures to the nearest country
bookseller. Ii is a melancholy duty
which forces one to Introduce such topics
into volume on Art ut Home" But
the little work will not have been written
in vain if it persunIcs ladies' who inherit
books not to sell them hastily, without
taking good and disintrrested opinion RI
to their value. They often dispose of
treasures worth thousands for ten pound
note, and take pride in the bargain Here
let history mention with due honor the
paragon Of her sex and the pattern to all
wives Of book collecting men, en,-Madame

AGEICULTURALISMS.

A correspondent of the New York
ITtCHne says: II should like to tell my
fellow readers Of an experiment which L
have tried. 1t is protection against trunk
boring and root-sucking insects affected
by simply making little gutter round
the collar of the tree and pouring from a
gill to pint or more of gas-tar into it.
No Ill effects have followed i'll any known
case through several years use in several
distinct places even when applied, as it
usually has been, i'll the warm, growing
summer time, before insects deposit their
eggs. On the contrary, a deeper green
and greater vigor have followed the ap-
pllcation. showing that it probably bars
OH the germs of even more minute and
insidious devastators than the visible in
sects.
As good n way as any to utilize bone
dust, and have it prepared for immediate
plant food, is to mix it with barnyard
manure Heat is soon generated, and de-
composition Of the bone dust and the
manure takes place. Barnyard manure
generally lacks phosphoric acid, while
bones contain large quantity. A ton of
pure bone dust contains rs much nitrogen
as eight and a half tons of fresh stable
manure of an average quality. The
quantity of phosphoric acid contained in
the manure depends upon the kind of
food consumed by the animals, though
the ton of bone dust contains as much
phosphoric acid us 10 tons of stable
manure, but one ton of the latter contains
moro potash than five tons of bone dust
Farmers Adrocdtc.
A small maturing hog is much more
valuable than large one, as nomore food
will be required to raise two good quick
growing ones than it will for large but
slow all-lard hog.
The most successful fruit growers,
East and West, have decided that there is
no better remedy for codling moth than to
pa ture hogs in the orchard, to eat the
wormy apples and the worms therein. If
the orchards are too large for the number
of hogs kept. sheep are turned in.

THE ENGLISH SPARROW.

The West with all her beautiful wild
birds that sing So swectly III country,
town and village, is cursed with that little
nuisance, the English sparrow, that New
England imported from Europe. Many
of our would-be philauthropic citizens
have ignorantly introduced them TO our
Western towns and cities to destroy the
worms on the shade trees, while they ut
terly fail to destroy the worms as much as
the wild birds do, but they do enough
harm to cause them to be swept off the
face of the earth They drive away our
beautiful wild birds that sing so swcetly,
they destroy our fruit buds, eat up our
small fruit, and eat up field and garden
wherever they are. They rapidly increase
and spread fast from town to country.
They never sing, but have sad cry that
they keep continually chirping.
We gave the English our Colorado po-
tato bug for this sparrow, but they have
the best of the bargain We give the fol
lowing from the Rurdi Nctc Yorker:
I'VE have always felt great fondness
for animals, especially birds, which we
could never feel reconciled to see shot
upon our premises. We Were among
those, years ago, to praise the English
sparrow, and to advocate its protection
but we now warn farmers against tins
bird as formidable enemy. more formid-
able than the insects he is supposed tn
kill, by his staunchcst friends. We have
already remarked upon the serious dam
age which our wheat fields sustained by
its ravages and we have now to speak
of the injury it has done to corn. 1t Ii
found, upon careful examination of our
fields, that MS many as one ear i'll every
three has been damaged sometimes only
at the very tip. sometimes AS far rs SIX
inches down the ear, or MS far ~ the spar
row could separate the husk so as to eat
the kernel.
''Those farmers who are benevolent
enough to share their crops to tins extent
with this unruly, greedy bird. may do so,
of course, though it is hard to tell how
severely their benevolence may he tested
i'll few years, 80 rapidly does the spar
row increase i'll numbers. But We think
such kindness might more wisely be ex-
tended to many of our native song birds,
which seem to have been driven away to
other parts where the spnrrows yelp IL
not vet heard. - Western IgrtcUitariSt.

THE CABBAGE WORM.

The green larva or worm" generally
known as the cabbage-worm, is one of the
most troublesome pests with which the
market gardener has to contend. In some
localities, in the most favorable seasons
for their development, these worms have
destroyed the entire crop, involving a loss
of many thousands of dollars. As i'll
many other cases with injurious insects,
when this pest is most abundant, its natu-
raj enemies are much greater in number,
without the aid of which the cultivator
would be less able to succeed in his war
fare against them. The natural enemies
to the cabbage worm are other insects
which are parasitic. The perfect form of
the cabbage-worm is a butterfly of near
ly white color, and when they come in
abundance. they appear almost like a
white cloud over the cabbage field. If
the females can be killed at this time,
before they deposit their eggs, the most
destructive blow is struck, because every
female destroyed means the destruction of
host of eggs that would eventually de-
velop into destructive worms. The but
terhies may be caught by the use of an
ordinary insect net made of mosquito
netting, attached to hoop of iron and n
handle. Children may be employed i'll
this work, and in short time will be-
come very dexterous in capturing the but
teriiies.
If the insects are neglected, the eggs
are deposited AID the worms appear.
War must be waged upon them, or the
crop will suffer, and the earlier this work
is begun the better A number Of rene
dies have been tried 1t is not safe to
use Paris green and London purple, be-
cause the parts Of the plant to which they
are applied are the ones that are used for
food. Poisoning is therefore out of the
question, if perfect safety is to be pre-
served. The most successful remedy
thus far known is hot water. Ii should
be only hot enough to kill the worms and
do no harm to the plant a temperature
of 1602 is sufficient to have the desired
effect. The hot water can be best ap-
piled by means OF watering pot provid-
ed with II fine rose If the temperature
is somewhat above 1G0 ,, the sprinkler
can be held some distance above the
plants, and the water will be cooled by
falling in spray through the air. 1t Is
best TO have it of about the right temper
ature, and then hold the rose close to the
middle of the young head, where the
worms are usually to be found ut work.
Early and persistent attention in this di-
rection may make all the difference be-
tween failure of the crop and good re-
turns for ali the labor expended.

FAErBAuLT, MINI, June ., 1881

To the Editor of the Free Press AMI Times:
On the first day of June, | left the grand
old County of Chiltenden, Vermont, To be
absent for few days, and after Il few sleep
less nights and wearisome days, find myself
on the boundless prairie of Minnesota, and
among its numberlcss wheat fields The CON
tra.t in the manner of farming between the
farmers of Vermont and Minnesota will be
readily noticed, and is very suggestive.
Here the ordinary farmer has grown from
thirty to seventy-tive acres of wheat, and
from ten to twenty acres of corn, with
a considerable large sowing of barley and
oats and other grains, while in Vermont Il
farmer with the same sized farm will have
but two acres of wheat and four acres OF
corn with some barley and oats, and other
grains to correspond. The cold weather
that the farmers thus far in June have been
getting is very favorable to large and good
crop of wheat 20 there is no call for any
rise in flour here or at the East. The pco-
pie here represent that they have had a very
warm May, but now that it has been cold so
far this month they rejoice at the prospect for
a large crop of wheat Well they may he
snxious for favorable wheat weather rs the
wheat crop is the main dependence of the
farmer here.
In Vermont we are troubled with the po-
tato bug, but here the farmers begin Ia he

AGRICULTURAL.
HATCHISd CHICKENS.

/ am seldom troubled with sitting hens,
even of those breeds called the sitting
varieties. In my flock this rarely occurs
until May-never in the early season !;
thus l have to resort to various methods
to get early chickens Matched. Hereto
fore l have borrowed. purchased and
traded with neighbors, but this year |
provided myself with pullets from broods
which, for generations back, had been in
veterate sitters. They came into laying
early in the winter. Having a fine flock
of n dozen or more of Brown Leghorn
pullets, headed by magnificent cock, |
was desirous of rearing all the early
chicks that space and accommodations
would allow. The hens laid well, as my
hens always do, averaging from six to
eight per day My sitters looked well,
and took good care of my interest i'll the
market production of eggs, but gave no
intimation of being broody. Leghorn
and Dorking eggs accumulated, and not
hvn ie;nained on the nest longer than to
deposit an egg. An old customer came
AMI purchased two sittings of fifteen eggs
each-my first and best eggs. could
not use them, for not hen had any dis
position to sit. All my neighbors had
hens confined to break up this very pro-
pens;ty which was Just then SO desired by
ME.
At last l concluded to exchange my sit
ters that were laying for those actually
brooding, which l did tho first week in
May. l exchanged four of my sleek, fat,
clean hens even for four sitters, said TO
be three -fourths White Leghorns l knew
when took them in my hands that they
were lousy, and | concluded not to ex-
anime them for lice, which / knew by the
indications were there, for fear. if found,
the labor of determination would imme-
hately commence, and perhaps the brood
ing stop. They proved steady and per-
sistent sitters, and did very well until
the chicks began to peep i'll the shell and
come forth, when they appeared frantic,
and fairly danced on the eggs, crushing
the shells and killing the chicks. Then
came the dilemma in the affair The idea
of losing my fine chicks after all was too
much. Some means of saving them must
be invented. About bushel and half
of fermentilC stable manure was placed
in commodious box, and covered with a
sheep skin the wool side down. Under
meath this, and on the fermenting manure,
the unmatched and green chicks were
placed, where they came out and did well,
and to-day have forty chicks, smart and
strong, without the mother hen. The
sitters have been cleared of their vermin.
and some give fresh eggs, and two are
mothering chicks. Eighteen live in their
box and do we'll They sleep at night in
their manure box.-C'Or. country Gentle
