Pickles.

Pickles grow well upon almost any
land that is in good heart; they like a
freshly plowed sod and land that is a
little moist or damp, but not wet.
Fresh horse manure suits them as well
as any dressing, but it must be well
mixed with the SOIL The seed may be
put in from June 20 to July 8, in rows
five or six feet apart. Those planted at
the earlier date usually bear the heavier
crop, but It is not always convenient to
get them in early. They are frequent
ly grown as second crop after peas or
early cut grass, and are very handy
crop for breaking up greensward. Flat
turnips may be sown among them at
the last hoeing and make fair crop
after the frost has killed the vines.
The pickles are preserved for winter
and spring sale by sailing; molasses
hogsheads answer very well for one
year, but the wooden hoops soon break.
Linseed oil casks are better, but more
expensive, and | know one large cstab-
lishment where the pickles are all sailed
in cisterns underground, built of brick
and cement. The brine for sailing
pickles must be strong enough TO float
harm, but if too strong it viii wilt the,
pickles and injure them. They must be
kept carefully under the brine, and the
brine should be drawn off and poured
over them two or three times within the
first week after they are sailed, 9TH
erwise they get too fresh on top and
spoil. The brine will ferment slight,
ly, but this does no harm. Watch
them often to make sure the brine
covers them all, and keep little salt on
the cover for the first week. Peppers,
beans, cauliflowers. ETC., are sailed in the!
same manner, for mixed pickles. When
wanted for sale, the pickles are scooped
out of the brine with common fish,
erman's dip net, placed in fresh water,
which must be changed two or three
times day till the pickles are quite
fresh; if stream of fresh water can be
made to flow through them, all the bet
ter; when quite fresh they are taken
out of the water and placed directly in
vinegar, which may be spieed with
picked peppers, or with West India
peppers or allspice, or with anything else
the trade demands. With vinegar at
fifteen cents per gallon pickles ought to

whisky vinegar, mostly used for the
purpose, costs about twenty to twenty
five cents per gallon.
1t was formerly the custom to scald
pickles in copper boiler in order to
give them the green color of verdigris
from the kettle; this custom has gone
quite out of fashion of late and the de-
mand is now almost entirely for the So
called English pickles, prepared as
above described, and having a dirty
yellowish green color. Pickles are at
best rather indigestible; the copper
certainly does not make them less SO,
though it probably does not make them
poisonous, at least never heard of
case of copper poisoning from eating
pickles. and the amount of copper alb
sorbed is extremely small.-Cor. NeD

The ErSsian ElY.

There are two broods of the Hessian
fly (Cecidomyia dcsfroct0r,) one in the
spring, and the second in the autumn.
The fall brood appears in August or Sep
tember, and each female deposits about
thirty eggs on the leaves of the young
winter wheat. The eggs hatch in four
days, and the Larvae or maggots make
their way down to the base of the leaf,
and remain between the leaf and stem,
where they feed upon the juices of the
plant, and cause it to turn yellow. In
about month after the eggs are laid,
the '.fiaxsseed" state is assumed, in
which the larvae remains until tire warm
days of spring, when it, passes into the
pupa, and afterwards energies as the
mature fly, at the end of April. The
eggs laid by these flies soon hatch, and
the maggots, after few weeks, go into
the little, brown, oval form of the flax
seed state, and produce flies in au,
tumn, thus completing the cycle in the
life of this destructive pest of the
farmer.
As a precaution, ii Is recommended to
SOW part Of the wheat early, and if
afflicted by the fly, plow and sow the
rest late III the season. If the pest is not
abundant, the crop may be saved by
The use OF addIllonai manure, OF Dy Gull
tivation. Pasturing the infested wheat
field with sheep in late autumn, will
destroy many of the eggs and young
insects The same good results are OBJ
tanned by rolling the crop. Only the
hardy, and more vigorous varieties of
wheat should be sown in infested local
tiles. There are a number of natural
enemies of the Hessian fly, such as the
Ichneumon parasites, whose combined
efforts destroy nearly nine-tenths of all
the flies that are hatched. The burning
of stubbe is therefore not recommended,
as it will destroy the useful parasites in
large numbers, as well as the pest upon
which they prey.-Amcricdn AgricW

"Milk and cereals, bread, oatmeal,

they are only two or three years old.
That is simply frightful. "
"Are not veal and pork almost equal

are by far more nutritious and easily ai-

green apples are to be avoided; they

When to Apply Manure.

The common practice is to cart tie
manure from the barn yard once year,
usually in the spring. In this way the
hauling is done when other work is
pressing and while the ground is soft
1t is better to draw out the manure ex-
posed in open yards as ii accumulates
and drop it into heaps in the fields where
it is to be used. With the best facilities
for keeping the manure-that is with a
barn-cellar there is less loss in keeping
it under cover, and when well rotted APP
ply it to the ground just at the time
when it will be of the most benefit to the
crop. Manure is considered as so much
capital used in growing the crop, and
bears interest only as it is used by the
plants. If beets or turnips need the most
manure in midsummer it is economy to
apply it then, provided there is the
proper facility for making, storing and
turning out this valuable fertilizer every
month in the year Grass lands can
make use of manure at nearly all times,
and upon these it may be spread in win
ter with economy of labor and excellent
results.
