The ROAD POLL TAx.-The Olympia
Courier says the late legislature have sins
enough to bear without being accused wrong
fully. The statement made that they re-
pealed the provision for the levy of the poll
road tax, was incorrect, as, while it was
left out of the revenue law, it was incorpor-
ated in the road law, which directs the
county commissioners to levy such tax.

TIE QUESTION OF Morus.-The COM
mon clothes moth was formerly the only
one that troubled housekepers, but of late
years the" buffalo" or /" carpet moth 4"
has in many localities come to plague
them. To keep woolons and furs from
moths,two things are to be observed-lst,
to sec that none are in tho articles when
they are put away, and I'd, to put them
whore the parent moth cannot enter. Tin
cases sodered tight, barrels headed so
that not even liquid can get in or out,
have been used TO keep out moths. A
piece OF strong brown paper, with not a
hole through which even a large pin can
enter, is Just as good. Put the articles in
n close box, and cover every Joint with
paper, or resort to whatever will be COM
plete covering. A wrapper of common
cotton cloth, SO put around and secured,
is often used. Wherever knitting needle
will pass the parent moth can enter ;carc.
fully exclude the insect, aud the articles
will DO safe. AS to the buffalo or carpet
moth, this fortunately exists in but a
few localities. No better remedy than
that we gave year or two ago has been
offered. Wet folded sheet or other cloth
lay it over the place near the edge of the
carpet, and use several hot llat.irons,
moving them about from time TO time so
as to send the steam down through the
carpet and into all the cracks of the floor
and II will kill the moths. Where prop.
erly tried 1t has been effective American

We heartily concur with the above
sentiment. We have never had better or
rs good results in feeding meal as when
we have mixed it with cut hay, straw Or
corn stalks. The fine particles of tho
meal. are thus moro equally distributed
through the great mass of food taken into
the stomach, and is subjected to rc.masti-

COrTON SEED vs.. LINSEED MEAL
How long must it be before the true char
acler of cotton seed meal rs food for cattle
can be clearly aud definitely understood by
farmers who make q practical use of il in
feeding ? Chemists aScribe to it very
high value, both on account of its nutritivo
qualities and for richness Of the manure
made from animals fed upon it, and many
farmers have fed it quito freely, even to
tho amount Of four quarts or moro per day
to an animal, without experiencing any i'll
effects whatever, while others who have
used it quite sparingly have believed that
it injured their COWS, causing icvers, gar
get, abortion, etc.
Mr. Leauder Mowry, 4 near nei9hbor of
tho writer and very successful feeder of
dairy cattle, has for many years fed four
quarts Of cotton seed meal per day. with a
like quantity of corn meal, to each Of his
mature cows, with the most satisfactory
results. and great many milk producers
in Rhode Island where cotton seed meal
first became u common article of cattle
food, are of the opinion that nothing else
is equal TO it for producing a large flow of
rich milk. On the other hand the Sturte-
want brothers at their farm in South Fran
ingham, fed it in an experimental way for
Il considerable period, but abandoned it
because of troubles that arose in their herd,
which they could account for in no other
way, and which left when the cotton seed
was discontinued from the daily ration.
Mr.. +. f. Fisk, our correspondent ut
Mast Yard n. H., stated in one of his re-
cent contributions, that he had expert
mentcd with cotton seed meal by feeding
it to milch COWS, and that they did we'll
upon it, but that calves which were fed
the milk were exceedingly subject to
scours, and that the difficulty only ceased
when the cotton seed meal was withheld.
lie has since then informed us that he has
been feeding the "new process" liRseed
meal with no such unfayorable effects. He
feeds at the rate of four quarts per day
with the best of satisfaction, the COWS and
calves all doing well upon it. He has also
fed it to considerable extent to horses
and poultry with equal satisfaction, the
egg harvest seeming to be perceptibly in
creased thereby. 1t is not likely that u
question of this kind can ever be settled
50 that the general result will apply to
every individual animal, but it would seem
that if u few hundred dollars could be de-
voted to the subject, herd might be fed
with rations of cotton seed till tho cows
through cases of garget, good health Or
death, might be able to indicate beyond
question what is the truth in this matter
As few individuals feel like risking their
property in such trials, 1t seems to devolve
upon some of our public experiment sta
lions to undertake the work. What farm
ers want to know is, how much cotton
seed meal will it take to kill or spoil an
average dairy COW P-New. England Farm

EECUPERGTING PAsTURES.-ln England
the pastures of the great county of
Cheshire became so exhausted as to cease
to be valuable for the purposes for which
they had before been used. With the
other sections of England bone dust was
introduced and used particularly as a Top
dressing upon their grass lands, and the
old pastures have increased in feeding
stock from thirty to fifty per cont; and we
believe that in this country equally bene-
fetal results arc being experienced by the
same means, and wherever it has been
tried tho farmer will he induced to extend
the plan in the future. 1t not only gives
the pastures fresh start, but it is dress.
ing that will last quite number of years
besides, the properties Of the bone enter
the grass, thus giving the cattle in the
natural way what they very much need,
and saves giving them bono meal in their
