REMEDY FOR THE MAGeoT OF THE
CABBAGE F1y.-Mr. Il. N. Cowles,
Hartford Co., Ct., writes: I see
by an article in the Dec. number OF
the American Agriculturlst that
Biselphide of Carbon is recon-
mended for the Cabbage Fly. How
is it applied?' The use of Bisul-
phide of Carbon is not only to be
recommended for the cabbage
maggob but also for the squash
borer, and other subterranean in
sects. It would serve admirably to
destroy ants when we can find their
hills. To apply the liquid, we have
only to make small hole, by use
Of cane or other small rod, close
beside the plant to depth of two
or three inches, then pour into the
hole a half teaspoonful of the fluid.
and quickly cover the same by fill
ing the hole with earth, and press
ing it down with the foot. The
same operation in the middle of an
ant hill will quickly destroy the
ants if they are in the galleries Of
SShe hill. All should remember that
Bisulphide OF Carbon and also it's
vapor, are very infammable, and
should always be used with great
care.-American Agricalturist for
March,.

Observation, not chemistry, must
decide sick diet The reason why
jelly should be innutritious, and
beef tea nutritious to the sick is q
secret yet undiscovered, but clearly
shows that careful observation OF
the sick is the only clew to the
best dietary. Chemistry has, as
yet, afforded little insight into the
dieting of the sick. All that chem
istry can tell Us is the amount OF
Fcarboniferous' or heterogeneous ele-
ments discoYerable in different die
tetic articles. In the great ma
iority: Of cases, the stomach of the
patient is guided by other prin-
ciples OF selection than merely the
amount Of carbon or nitrogen in
the diet. No doubt, in this, as in
othes things, nature has very def
mite rules for her guidance, but
these rules can only be ascertained
by the most careful observation at
the bedside.

Prairie Farmer

Prairie Farmer
The subject of agricultural educa-
ton is attracting increased attention
abroad. There are now over 900 stu
dents attending Prof. Tanners new
series of lectures on the Princiles OF
Agriculture, In England. All these
students are persons preparing them
selves to introduce this particular sub
ject Of agriculture into the Science
Classes or the Elementary Schools Of
the country, In one or the other Of
which they are now teachers. Indeed
II seems that the teachers Of Great
Britain are fully aroused to the impor-
lance Of this new education. The
good work that they may do in this
direction Is beyond computation. Is
1t not a worthy suggestion that there
be introduced into the Normal Schools
of this country course Of lectures de-
voted to the imparting Of agricultural
and horticultural knowledge to the
teachers Of our common schools that
they may, in turn, instruct the youth
Of the land In the elementary princi-
piles underlying successful farm life {?
In this way the pupils Of the copmon
schools who desire to enter them may
become prepared for the universities
and colleges devoted to industrial ed
ucation, and those whom circumstan-
ces may deprive Of further school
years win be at least better fitted than
now for the business Of their lives.

ed that paper and has again the edito-
rial control of it. While we regret to
lose our young friend Mr.. J c. John
son, we welcome Mr.. Dement, back
into the fraternity. We judge from
his first issue that he Is a strong friend
of Captain Woods's and has no doubt
an intention Of converting the erratic
people of Scott and teaching them to
turn their eyes from the setting to the
rising sun. The people of this noble
old county are true to their friends
and are not easily seduced from their
first love. Well, we will not fall out
because we prefer different gentlemen
for Congress, and we wish our friend
abundant financial success In his new
enterprise.

To the Editor OF the Comet
1t is late at night and am in the

promise to give you an occasional
hasty letter. 1 have made three
towns to-day which is pretty good for
commercial tramp. Last evening I
left your own city on the mail train
and reached Morton near midnight.
We were conducted by porter to the
Bond House and given room so neat
and with such nice bed that sleep,
which really needed little coaxing,
came early and fingered on our eye
lids I'LL a late breakfast. Repairing
to the table we found it to comport
with the room-the breads and meats
were well cooked, and fresh butter
and milk and excellent coffee made
one feel that lie could desire no better
meal. We spent the day mostly with
the merchants securing, or attempt
ing to do so, their Gus tom. The stores
are all in one continuous row south of
the railroad and parallel with it.
These are the stores, Moore & Nc
Cough, Taylor & Son, Mccall & Son,

around the sides and near the top
while q building, which serves the
triple purpose of lodge, church and
school, crowns the summit of this
large hill right on the divide between
what Is called the prairles and the
sand lands. After dinner we took a
"wild cat" train to Forest. All day the
rain had been coming down a little
and at intervals. and increased
toward evening. About two miles
east Of morton the railroad has
switch running out to large bed of
gravel which the company is now
using to ballast the road. Reaching

communications from the aforesaid
county, MS often as any other veteran

several weeks, owing TO tho un-
certainty Of conveying mail TO and
IRON the steamers. My "Billet-
doux," as I said.beiore, does ~dmst
Of dissimilarity, yet it contained
somo of the "magnum bonum," and
that is some facts. I had the
perusal Of q letter this morning
in which very particularly noted
this statement "relata rcfero" the

the county has the distribution OF
the "proveader" to tho sufferers OF
tho county, and that those who
