A REMEDY FOR POTATO BUGS.

The Troy Press tells OF farmer who tried
a new remedy for potato bugs with success
He procured number of boards and placed
them here and there among his potatoes
and on these boards We're placed raw pota-
toes sliced. At noon on the first day of the
experiment he and bis hired men found
every piece of potato covered with bugs.
The men killed this crop, and at night an
otesr crop was killed, though not so large,
and in week not a bug could be seen, and
his trouble with bugs after this was COM
paratively small. In the spring, he says, is
the best time to attend to bugs. as a spring
bug. he understands. breeds from 200 to 300
during the potato season. He thinks it
would be good plan to dip the piece of
potato in Paris green, as it would save the
work of killing the bugs.

MONTANA APPLES.

Montana in the course of the next few
years will have a fair supply of apples from
its own orchards, which are showing a
healthy, thrifty growth in various parts of
the Territory. In Meagher county, on the
high table lands sheltered by the Belt range
of mountains and protected from early
frosts, experiments in horticulture show en-
couraging success. Mr. Pickering from that
locality, has for second time some beaut-
full apples of the Oldenourg variety on ex-
hibiton at the Fair. He has had the pres
ent year number of trees in bearing, and
some exceptionally fine fruit is exhibited,
including several kinds of crabs. Captain
Stafford, whose ranch is some miles nearer
Helena, has raised this yeal both apples and
cherries, and is confident of having an album
dance of fruit from his own orchards within
the next two or three years Montana ought
in the near future to supply good part of
the large amount of trnit annually consum-
ed by its peopIe.-Herald.

THE DIGNITY OF FARM LIFE.

No employment of mere earthly char
acer is so ennobling as that of the farmer.
Nothing that he touches but requires mind,
culture and capital muscle is important,
but it is the cheapest article ever used on
the farm.
1t requires muscle to forge the iron and
head the vivets of the steam engine, but that
is labor that the thousands could do. The
greatest power required in the construction
of the engine was the brain power, out OF
sight to the masses. So on the farm, mus
Gle is necessary, but the engineering, con-
trolling power is mind educated disciplin-
ed. Some men are educated by books, some
by observation, others by both books and
observation. Let not the one despise the
other. Books aid observation. He who has
become skilled in the products OF the soil,
or in rearing cattle, poultry, or the keeping
of bees. as many no doubt have, by their
observation, has made unspeakably better
progress. and might have stood forth emf
nent in any given line had he added the
combined observation of kindred powerful
minds to his own. 1t is said that the first
thousand dollars is the hardest thousand
thrt the millionaire ever accumulated. But
the discipline of getting that thousand help
ed in future accumulations.
YeR can learn more from books IN one
year, about keeping bees, poultry or raising
stock. from the lifelong observation record

NO MORE GATE SAGGING.

hnvr tried many similar experiments,
and mink the question settled, that if post
Is placed top etld down, 10 mCistare can as
cenu rum the bottom of the hole up the
post TO rot it !; but when the butt end is
down the moisture can ascend the pores
very rapidly if green and slowly if dry.
Seasoned posts are known to last much
longer, because the pores are more or less
filled within the seasoned wood. should
also infer that placing the top end down
would make more difference in green than
dry post. In pursuance of the fact that
the pores of green timber have been often
saturated with different solutions to pre-
serve it, by immersing the butt ends, freshly
cut, in the solution to be absorbed, it viii
be also noticed that burning or charrinr the
posts only closes the pores and prevents the
absorption of water.
