Destroying the Cabbage Butterfly.

+. Lewis Sturtevant, Of the n. Y.
Experimental Station, gives his exper-
fence with the cabbage worm, rs fol-
lows:
ave were troubled considerably by
the rsvages of the cabbage butter fly,
PieriS ropae, or rather by its Larvae. The
butterfly was seen flying about the
plants early in summer, aud In the
latter part of June the first brood OF
caterpillars appeared. These did less
destruction, however, than the second
brood, which came about the middle OF
August. In order to test the efficacy
of y few of the so-called remedies for
cabbage worm, we confined some of
the caterpillars in a bottle and noted
their behavior under various treat
ments. One Specimen confined for
three hours in q bottle partly filled
with black pepper crawled away dis
colored by the powder but apparently
unframed The second, repeatedly
immersed in a solution of salpeter
and third in Boracle acid exhibited
little indications of inconvenience. Bi
sulphide of carbon produced instant
death to the worm, though the fumes
were not etfectual. The fumes of ben.
zine as well as the liquid caused al
most instant death, but when applied
to the cabbages small whitish excre
SCIENCES appeared on the leaves. Hot
water applied to the cabbage destroy.
ed a portion of the worms, causing
also the leaves to turn yellow. One
ounce of salpeter and two pounds o.
common salt dissolved in three gallon:
of water formed an application which
was partially efficient. The most salts
factory remedy tested, however, con
sisted OF mixture of 10. each of hare
soap and Kerosene oil in three gallons
of water. This was applied August 20
an examination the following days
showed many, if not all, the worm
destroyed.
The growing cabbage presents such
2 mass of leaves in which the cater
pillars may be concealed that it is
hardly possible to reach all the worms
at one application. 1t is of importance
therefore, to repeat the use OF any
remedy at frequent intervals.

PrOperties of MIX.

DR.. Z. Lewis Sturtevant, of Geneva,
n. Y, writes to the Chicago Livestock
Journal giving an interesting analysis
of milk. We copy a portion:
This substance, the nourishment of
the young animal OF the class mann
malta, is so familiar to our senses, and
seems so essential to the convenience
of a civilized life, that we are apt to
forget that its abundance, as an Article
of food, and many of the peculiarites
of quality that it possesses, are de-
pendent on human art and caprice.
Its use, as drawn by the infant from
the mother, is as universal az the
mammalian life; and its use by man,
IS an article of luxury or necessity, is
co-existcnt with written history, and is
to be traced in the remains of prshis-
toric nations. The vessels used in the
manufacture of cheese have been found
along with the bones of oxen, sheep
and goats, in the lacustrine deposits of

Chicken Cholera.

Several experiments have been made
during the last five years by different
parties for the purpose Of preventing
the spread of chicken cholera by moe
ulation or vaccination. We have dur
ing the last two years vaccinated the
fowls in 10 difierent yards where the
cholera was prevailing badly and in
each yard we left some common fowl
not vaccinated and they all died. But
of the 2 600 vaccinated only IL died,
although they were in the same yard
with those not vaccinated that were
dying daily by the scores. We have
every reason to believe that this chick
en- vaccination is preventive to keep
chickens from cholera as vaccination
is in preventing smallpox among the
human family. Vaccinate a hen and
in ten days her system will be
thoroughly inocuated, then cut off her
head and catch all the blood in some
vessel, then pour the blood out on pa
per and let it dry; half drop of this
blood ls sufficient to vaccinate q hen,
and the blood OF one hen is enough to
vaccinate your whole flock. Catch the
fowl you wish to vacclnate, and with
pin or knife make little scrat, Ii on
the thigh, Gust enough to draw the
bloody then moisten little piece of the
paper with the dried blood on, and
stick it or the chickens leg where YOU
scratched it, and let the fowl run and
you need have no fear of chicken chol-
era. AS the result of my many ex-
periments | have now dried blood
enough, would suppose, to vaccinate
10000, for which have no use as / do
not sell patent medicines. If any of
your readers are enough interested in
poultry to try this preventive, by writ
ing to me | will send free of charge
enough blood to start with; all ask is
that they send Immediately before the
blood loses its strength and report the
result Of the experiment to yonr many
readers

face blazing. Peabody dared not look
at her. Mrs. Randolph was SO angry
that she felt absolutely i'll. She said
abruptly, that she couldnot go boating;
they mus. go without her; and turned
back.
Peabody and Molly walked along in
profound silence. To this day, Molly
can see distinctly the landing, aud the
very plank on which they stood whilst
looking around for the boatman; and
where, as the wind began to blow fresh
er, her companion insisted on putting
over her her knit shawl. 1t was about
II o'clock. The sun was beating holly
down upon the planks, which sent out
a faint odor of tar-to this day Molly
hates tar.
Peabody left her, to signal to one of
the little birch canoes bobbing lazily up
and down in the water. Across the
waters, Harvard men were singing col
| lege songs, and their voices came float
ing to her. Something, she didn't
know what, made the tears rise to her
eyes. How dreadful it all was. How
could she ever speak to Mr.. Peabody
AGAIN. Just then Mr.. Peabody came
towards her. This way, Miss Molly
he said, in just his usual voice. "Our
canoe is here"
AS he helped her into the canoe he
caught sight of her quivering lip, her
fearful eyes. "Don't," he whispered
"My darling, if you do, l shall most
certainly kiss you; and think how dis
graceful that would be-"
Molly ought to have been very angry
but she wasn't-not Il bit. Splash went
the paddle. Peabody's ideas of the
view must have been vague in the last
extreme; for Molly heartlessly inter.
posed her scarlet unit rella between her
self and him, leaving him to occupy
himself with all kinds of futile conjec-
lures as to how she was looking and
what she was doing behind it,
Thump, bang, and they ran up the
little pebbly beach. At one side was a
steep hill, thickly wooded with pine
trees, whose aromatic fragrance came
waited down to them on the crisp
morning air. On the other was jag
ged pile of stern gray rocks, with
hooks and crevices of delightful
shadow.
With the quickness of long practice,
Peabody at once selects the most COM
Portable and most accessible spot. AS
Mo ~ was handed to the shore she had
a desperate feeling come over her.
Escape she must. But how? She
stopped and looked back at the canoe.
Peabody comprehended what was in
her mind. Without moments hest
tation he stretched out his arms and
drew her towards him.
molly, dearest" he said tenderly,
don't you know what have to tell
your"
| Half resisting, half yielding, she
stammers out a confused "No."
"Molly, Molly" he went on, "don't
say no. It's yes you're going to say
to me. Tell me dearest is it?'
Molly raised her happy, confused
face from his shoulder. 'If l could
only be sure" she whispered, "that
you weren't simply doing this to spite
Mrs. Crosby, and tnat-and that-you
didn't think me one OF the grasshop-
pers-"
Peabody, in spite of all, roars with
laughter. Finally he sobers down.
"Tell me" he said, ''do you think
me supercilious peacock now?'

Organ Grinders.

Street organs in Berlin are evidently
not appreciated by the music-loving
Teutoas, for the police are trying to
abolish the poor organ-grinders alto
gether, and have strictly limited their
number. Yet formerly orgau-playing
was allowed ut Court, and during the
reign of Emperor Williams father,
King William III, several organs
played regularly every night under the
Kings bedroom window, being reward
ed with sevenpence halfpenny apiece.
Even when the King was i'll he would
not allow them to be sent away, and
the organ men continued their nightly
concerts till his death, in 1910.

Music, and triumph, and glow,

Kentucky Crops.

Henderson, Ky, 11.-This county
harvested the largest whea: crop it mas
ever known. Much OF it was threshed
early and sold for 81 per busheI. a great
deal. however, is not yet threshed, and
IN many Instances has been greatly in
juTed oY wet weather. II many places
it Is sproutioR il the stack. Buyers are
now paying 9Oc. for coed article. The
tobacco crop, which has bean poor all
the season, has now suffered very serious
injury from heavy rains OF the past two
weeks, while barley IS suffering more
than other varieties. The corn crop is
good. There is little or no old corn, and
farmers think the pricess must continue
good with q good crop.
