TO DESTROY INSECTS.

Prot. A j. Cook writes the following to
the american Agriculturist
The past season have tried u new rem
eay with gratifying success. This consists
of Il preparation OF carbolc acid. Tie ma
terial which ased was prepared as follows:
Two quarts of common soft soap was added
to one gallon OF water and all heated until
it commenced to BOIL when it was removed
from the stove, and while yet hot, one pint
OF crude carbolic acid was added, and all
thoroughly mixed This was then set away
III a close vessel. and was ready for use as
occasion might require. TO repel the in
sects in question, one part OF this mixture
was added to from fifty tc one hundred
parts Of water, and the new mixture was
sprinkled on the plants as soon as they were
up. and after that once every week In case
of the squash algerian. the first application
need not be applied earlier than the first of
June. This same preparation will serve to
repel the cabbage fly (autAomya byassicae)
But for the latter, my experiments go to
show that b.ulphide of carbon ia cheap, eff
ticient, aud does not simply drive the fly
away, but destroys the maggot. AS che
that fights and runs away may live to fight
another day" the bisulphide of carbon
remedy is, think to be preferred to the
carbolic acid mix ture for use against the
cabbage maggot. We sprinked the carbolic
acid preparation directly upon the radsh
plants, without injury to the latter, but if it
is found to injure the plants from too great
strength, it will serve as well to turn it in a
trench made close along beside the rows of
plants. The peculiar odor of the acid which
repels the flies as they come to deposit their
eggs, so far escapes that it is necessary to
apply the liquid as often rs once week to
insure perfect success. Caution is required
also that the preparation is not so strong as
to injure the plants when placed Immediately
upon them. From one seasons trial can
strongly recommend The above applications

putting on twenty five to thirty loads OF
manure to the acre, and then plow again
in the spring. The seed should be sown in
the spring AS early as possible. The "Yel-
low Danvers" is the best variety, and should
yield from 300 to 400 bushels per acre. Many
onions are lost in keeping. because they do
not get ripe enough; they require long

Wheat and oat lands should be plowed the
ed and leveled cross ways. A great deal
may be saved by little care in preparing
to put in grain Where The land is uneven
or very sloping, it should be plowed across
the hill, so that the furrows will carry water
without washing the soil. Plow the land
as above stated and harrow and drag the
same, which breaks the clods and levels up
the lower places. Then put in the seed
with drills, going parallel with the irrIgat-
inc bitches, so that the drill marks will
serve to lead the water in irrjgatln%, and
thereby savea largeamount OF work. When

GARDEN PLANTING FOR THIS MONTH

As a mere reminder to those having only
a small plot of ground for garden purposes
for the immediate family supply of what
the little garden produces, we mention the
following crops that must receive attention
in all this month, and are what we regard
as among the best 10 select, viz. Tomato
for late open culture; Long Scarlet and
white and red turnip-rooted ratIish; peas in
order; savory spinach; Large White Or
Boston Market Celery; early and long beets;
EARLY Horn or Long Orange carrot; Beans,
cabbage, watercress, sugar parsnips. cucum-
Der, leek, Dutch butter or curled Sesian
lettuce, okra, nastnrtions, satisfy or oyster
plant; the following herbs: Thyme, sage,
Sweet Marjoram, parsley. Also onion seed.
The onion sets and two first paintings OF
peas ought to have been sown the first of
the month";

lrrlgatlng turn on the water at the head OF
the land and be careful not to let in too
large a head. Ii will follow the drill marks
from onelourlh to halt a mile. Proceeding in
this manner. one man can irrigae with a
small head Of water twice as much land as
where it is sown broadcast or without pains
broadcast will find it very advantageous to
drag the land well, finishing it up in
shape SO that the wafer may be led
over it with ease and uniformity -.

AnSwer.-We have no knowledge of any

gest that it might be profitable to him to

praclicability OF growing that willow.
