President Angell's Reception.

University Hall was filled on the
evening after the arrival of President
Angel in Ann Arbor to witness OF par
ticipate in the formal reception. Act
ing President Frieze delivered the well
come home address in well chosen
words followed by Judge Hartman in
behalf Of the city, Board of Education,
etc. Prof. Adams read eul0gistic re-
solutions passed by the council. Presi-
dent Angel then arose and responded
in brief as follows:
PRESIDENT ANaELL's ADDRESS.
He spoke of the happiness he expert
enced in his return to his home; Of the
kindly messages which he had received
with much regularity during his re-
sidence in distant Pekin, and which had
brought him much joy during his tenn
porary exile. Hethanked the Regents,
his colleagues in the faculties and the
undergraduates in all the departments
for the manner in which they had CO.
operated to bring about the brilliant
success of the University during his
absence, which ne heard spoken of on
all sides, q record which added new
zest to the pleasure he experienced of
his return. President Angel spoke
feelingly on the death Of Profs. Watson
and Williams, and ex-Presidents Tap
pan and Haven whose faces he had ex-
pected to see again, and whom he would
sadly miss. He spoke briefly of the
work of the embassy and of the treaties
which were negotiated, more particular
ly in regard to the second treaty, which
prohibited the importation Of opinion
into China from this country; a treaty
which had already been the means OF
enabling China to secure similar treaties
with Russia and Brazil, and would
eventually. he hoped, secure ut least Il
modification of the treaty with Great
Britain. In all his long Journeys he
had seen many people, but no assem-
blage had given him more pleasure thar
the one which greeted him to-day, ant
no position, he believed, could be con
sidered - promotion above that of th'

Pasture For Hogs,

American Farmer Farmers in the great
hog producing sections of this country are
paying more attention to pasture for hogs
now than heretofore One who has given
the subject no little study and tried various
experiments in that behalf, says that there is
no question about green oats and peas being a
most appropriate food for pigs, and that it
comes at the very season when pasture is apt
to be short. Corn being the most universal
fattening food for hogs in the West after cold
weather arrives, it is very important that
the summer food Of pigs should be more nit
rogenous and better adapted to the develop
ment of muscle and bone than corn.
The pea is very rich in muscle and bone
building elements, and oats are also superior
to corn in this respect. The oats also assist
in holding up the pea vine, so as to prevent
early lodging, and thus cause it to retain its
succulence longer. The crop will be sown in
the proportion of two bushels of peas and
one of oats per acre and well covered. The
drill puts them in best. The united crop
should produe from 40 to 60 bushels of grain
to the acre Now the grain is. only part of
the crop. The succulent pea vine is admira-
bic food for pigs, and they should be turned
in when the pea is just passing out of the
milk. They will then devour the whole
plant, and it contains as much nutriment as
when fully ripe. The succulent stalk con-
tains from 40 to so per cent. as much nutri-
ment as the grain. A good crop ought to
produce growth in live weight on hogs of
500 to 700 pounds per acre.

The Cotton Worm.

EDITOR ADvERTIsER.-I see from the pa
pers of recent date, that the dreaded cotton
worms are making their appearance in diff
ferent parts of the State. 1t has always
been a mystery to me, that there was not
more concert Of action among cotton growers,
in regard to those pests. Now is the time,
in my judgment to commence the work OF
destroying this great enemy to the cotton
planter. Those spots where the worms are
found should be poisoned at once, and they
should be searched for day by day, by all
the planters in ever neighborhood where
there is any sign Of the worm. When they
web up make diligent search for the cocoon
and destroy them. When the second crop
of moths are seen flying about poison little
honey or molasses and dab it about on trees,
stumps, on the fence and every place where
the moths are seen. In this way, it does
seem to me that the generations could be so re-
duced, that but little harm could be done I'M
til 50 late in the fall that none would be done
But to be effective every farmer must do his
part. | am clearly of the opinion, that this
plan would involve much less expense and
trouble than to be driven to the necessity
of poisoning the whole crop. We have in
cur neighborhOod the grass worm, but 80 far
they have done but little harm. They have
eaten up few patches of late corn, but peas
or cotton have not been disturbed.
Respectfully,
A CORN GROWER.

AGRICULTURAL.

Too much drying impairs the feeding
quality OF the hay.
Observation shows that the majority o
persons who engage in the bee business lose

Those who raised beans last year found

To sugar-dry tomatoes the Fruit Recorder

about one inch in diameter.

only would be enough, but it is difficult to
make some new gardeners believe it.

How to Get Rid Of Reaches.

A writer in an exchange says: A few
years ago my house was infested with
reaches (or CLOCKS, as they are called here)
and l was recommended cucumber peeling
as a remedy. accordingly, Immediately
before bed time, strewed the floor of those
parts of the house most infested with the
vermin with green Peel, cut not very thin
from the cucumber. | sat up half an hour
later to watch the effect. Before the ex-
piration of that time the floor where the
peel lay was completely covered with reaches
so much so that the vegetable could not
be seen, so voraciously were they engaged in
sucking the poisonous mixture from it. l
adopted the same plan the following night,
but my visitors were not so numerous-I
should think not more than one-fourth of
the previous night. On the third night /
did not discover one, but anxious to aseer-
tain whether the house was quite clear of
them, Iexamined the peel after 1 had laid
down about half an hour and perceived
that it was covered with myTaids of minute
reaches about the size of flea. l there
fore allowed the peel to lie till morning, and
from that moment / have not seen roach
in the house

Hay Yield.

The average grass crop of the State is less
than one ton to the acre the reports to the
census bureau give only about 1900 pounds
to the acre this is an amount by far too
small. No farmer can afford to grow only
that amount. His land does not pay six
per cent. interest at that rate. He ought TO
grow an average of one and half tons, and
it is within the possibilities to produce twice
that quantity. We have seen nine-acre
field yield thirty-six tons, at two mowings,
and give room besides for two-story house,
large barn and wide door yard.
How shall this be done? BY cultivation
and manuring. The more manure, the more
grass; the more grass, the more cattle: the
more cattle, the more manure, and thus the
circle goes, with a constant increase. If
we can't grow grass, We can grow corn and
millet as a substitute To grow one or all
of these, in an abundance, is prime neces-
sity for every farmer. As the scythe swings
over the thinly clad fields this year, let the
owner mark the acres for the pillow, and put
them in condition for the future.
