al have Marshal Mel rose that is full of
young, green shoots, which will be destroyed
by the first frost, and / wish to know what /
can do to hasten the hardening of these
shoots. Mrs. c. r., Dover, Del. AnS The
main trouble in this case is that of late growths,
which will not mature before freezing weather,
and consequently they will be destroyed.
This rose is tender in Delaware, as it also is in
States even further south. There is no remedy
for this, at least of easy application. 1t would
be good experiment to pTune the roots in
August, and so prevent further growths after
that time; the shoots would then become hard,
and thus they would be better fitted to endure
cold.
"a correspondent" asks what he is to do
about the worms which destroy his peaches,
and desires to know if the borers at the roots
have anything to do with it. Ans: The worms
in the fruit are those Of the curculio, or plum
weevil, which is becoming alarmingly preva-
lent in the peach. The borers at the roots have
nothing to do with these worms in tho fruit
although these, if not removed, will eventually
Kill the tree. The curculios may be greatly
lessened by jarring the trees and collecting the
insects on sheets spread under them, or by the
many other methods which were noted some
time ago in The TRIBUNE.

NOTES AND EXTRACTS.
A Digest Of Information Collected From Various
Sources
'BUCKwHEAT AS FOOD.

BUCKwHEAT AS FOOD.
A French scientist who has investigated
buckwhcat, gives the following as the results
of his researches: Buckwheat cakes are equal
to pure white bread as regards the phosphates
or bone making material and heterogeneous prin-
ciples which they contain, and are superior to
bread in fatty matters. The general yield of
buckwheat when cooked is about three times
the weight of -four used, showing that such
flour will retain from forty to forty-one per
cent. of water. Between different patches of
ground bucl1wheat there is great dissimilarity
of composition, one batch containing nearly
seven times as much nitrogen, twenty-five
times the amount of phosphates and hundred
and fifteen times as much fatty matter as an
other. The bran is the richest portion of the
buckwheat, but cannot be digested by weak
stomachs. The finest qualities of buckwheat
-four and the white mill-dust especially, are
very suitable for children and persons in poor
health while the stronger varieties require a
strong stomach and much exercise for their
proper digestion.
HOMEMADE MANURE.
The Maine Farmer says: "NIr A. c. Emery
pulCHStoeu OHc uuHuICu pouHuS Vi gTOullu bone,
placed it in half-hOgshead tub, and applied
forty pounds Of sulphuric acid adding water as
desired. In five days time the whole mass
was reduced to a consistency of thick Jelly
Water was then added and three hundred
pounds of plaster used as a dryer, the whole
being worked and shoveled over until it could
be readily handled. The phosphate so made
was applied to one acre Of corn and one of po-
tatoes, both being MANFRED sufficiently, and a
small quantity was left, which was applied to
his wheat-tield and TO plat of grass ground,
just to see what it would do. The result of
this manure i'll the two latter instances was
most marked, while the corn was heavy, the
growth being dark-colored and stout the pota-
toes were good. The entire cost of the phos-
phate was $50, and Mr.. Emery thinks it the
best expenditure in the way of purchased
manurcS he ever made"

PORK OF THE GUINEA PIG.

1t IS stated that the guinea pig is extensively
used in Peru as an article of food, not merely
as a dclicacy by the higher classes, but mainly
by the poor, from its cheapnesS and abundance.
1t is entirely an herbivorous animal and
a clean feeder, eating clover, turnips, let
tuccs, cabbages and other green stuff-in
short, the same food as the rabbit, to which
it has many points of similarity. For cooking,
the guinea pig is not skinned, but the hair is
scaldcd of. when it presents the appearance
which rat might do if similarly treated
minus the tail. After being scalded it is split
open and cleaned, and is generally fried entire
in frying pan, or sometimes grilled over the
Goals. Thus prepared it is sayOry and delicate,

THE KITCHEN.

"Zelbee" asks through THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE for a recipe to can corn. Here is
good one: To every six quarts of corn take one
ounce of tartaric acid, dissolved in a half pint
of boiling water; cut the corn from the cob,
put in sufficient water to cook it; when boil
ing put in the acid, cook few minutes, seal
in air-tight glass jars; be sure to have water
cover the corn in can, or it will not keep well.
To prepare for table: Pour off the sour water
and save it; to every quart of corn add one
teaspoonful of soda; put in sufficient water to
cook, and let stand a few minutes before cook
ing; while cooking put in a teaspoonful of
white sugar. If the corn turns yellow, there is
too much soda in it; pour back some Of the

Taking Comfort as We Go.

Sooner or later, friends, the time
for folded hands will come to us all.
Whether or not we cease from hur-
ry and worry now, we shall one day
shut our eyes upon it, and lie still
untroubled by the stir and fret of
things about US. Why not take
comfort as we go?
You, proud mother of a beautiful,
active boy, of what use will it be
to you to remember how exquisitely
fine was his raiment, how daintily
spread his bed, and how profuse his
costly toys? What the child needs
is mothering, brooding, tender rest
in on your heart, and he needs it
every step of the way from baby
hood to manhood. The comfort
of your opportunities. Never mind
though the dress be coarse, and the
food plain, and the playthings few,
but answer the questions, tell the
stories, spare the halfhour at bed
time, and be merry and gay, con-
lluehClal ana sympathetlc with
your boy.
And you, whose graceful young
daughter is just blushing out into
the bloom and freshness of won
drously fair womanliness, do not be
so occupied with your ambition
for her and her advancement
in life, that you let her ways and
your own fall apart. Why are her
friends, her interests, and her en-
gagements so wholly distinct from
yours? Why does she visit here and
there and receive visitors from this
and that home, and you scarcely
know the people by sight? You
are losing precious hours, and the
comfort You ought to take is flying
fast away on those wings of time
that are never overtaken.

Why He Left.

At last . possible use has been
found for pet dogs that are carried
round by ladies. The Detroit Free
Peess says: A woman and a terrier
dog reached the Union Depot yes
terday half a hour before the time
of the Grand Trunk train for Buffa-
10, and while she sat down in the
waiting-room as the best thing she
could do, the dog made the tour of
the rooms several times, and then
curled up on seat beside the wo-
man to get a wink of sleep before
being turned over to the tender care
of the bagage-man.
Just then, a young man, with a
good deal of cane, and watch-chain,
and necktie, sauntered in and took
survey of the various females.
The one nearest the dog had a
young and pleasant face. After sat
isfying himself of this, the young
man advanced, made a graceful
bow, and inquired
"Beg pardon, but do you go
East ?"
She nodded.
"Ahl 1 thought SO. If you have
any baggage, l shall be most happy
-ah-shall be most happy to-
He had all the time been prepar-
ing to sit down beside her on the
dog-he had not noticed the ami
mal-and the sentence was not yet
finished when he sank gracefully
back.
Some dogs have been sat down
on so often that they don't mind it,
but this terrier had always been a
pampered pet, and had usually been
given proper time to shake off
sleep and get his legs under him.
When suddenly buried under one
hundred and forty pounds of mash
er, his ideas became terribly confus-
ed, but not for long. A clock could
not have licked over six times
when the young man began to rise
up and whoop, and he was scarcely
up when he made course for the
door, which upset every handbook
and satchel for width of ten feet.
AS he went out of the door a
black object let 60 of him and trot-
ted back, and it was only when the
dog began rubbing against the base
board to restore himself to his for
mer round shape, that any one was
able to discover why the frenzied
young man had left in such a hur-

A CORRESPONDENT informs us that
the Democrats were successful in Rich
field township in the April election,
and says she has solid organization
for the fight next October. This is
what every township in the county
should have. The election next fall
will be an important one, with bright
prospects for a complete Democratic
victory. 1t therefore behooves every
Democrat in the county to see that his
organization is thoroughly organized
in every school district, so that solid
column may confront the enemy in
October.
