A Remarkable " Flnd.v

A singular revelation has lately been made
in the excavation of the buried city of Pom
peii. A correspondent of the London Times
tells the story briefly, but with much positive
ness, He says that painting lately found
evidently represents judgment OF Solo
mon. 1t has been placed in the Museum at
Naples, and the writer of the letter in the
Times gave it careful study there. lie has
no doubt that it is a representation of the
celebrated scene in the court of Solomon,
though the figures are pigmies. 1t is poor
work of art, but il is well preserved, and the
colors are fresh. The writer says; "The
king is represented as leaning over the
front of the dsis towards woman in a
green robe, who kueels before him with di-
sheveled hair and outstretched hands. In
the center of the court is three-legged
table, like butchers block, upon which
lies an infant who is held in recumbent
position, in spite of his struggles, by a wo-
man wearing helmet with long red
plume, holds the legs of the infant, and is
about to ceave it IN two with his falchion.
A group of spectators completes the pic
ture, which contains in all nineteen figures"
The picture is of special interest, because
up TO this time nothing has been discovered
in the ruins of Pompeii which indicated
any knowledge either of Judaism or Chris
tianity. Now the old familiar story of jew
ish life is found TO have been well known 10
the dwellers in the pagan city which was
buried for so many centuries. byierian.

Cabbage.

Not half the farmers of New England
raise cabbage enough for home use upon
their tables, and very few raise any for sale
or for feed. Cabbage is not hard crop to
raise. They will thrive on any good corn
land. The stronger the soil and the richer
its condition, the better they will yield, and
the larger and more solid their heads The
cabbage should be kept rapidly growing.
Rapid growth is great aid in protection
from the worm that of late has preyed upon
the leaf, and of the maggot that sometimes
troubles the roots. Slow growth invites at
tack. The seed should be sown in sunny
location in boxes of rich earth, or where a
pile of brush has been burned, or along the
south border of fence or wall as soon as
the ground will permit. These plants thus
raised will be fit TO transplant the last of
May. Good results are often had by sowing
the seed in hills where they are to grow.

To Destroy Insects.

Professor A. j. Cook of the New Jersey
Agricultural College writes to the american
A Aqriculiurist: The past season l have
tried new remedy with gratifying success.
This consists of a preparation OF carbolic
acid. Ihe material wnIcn 1 USED was pre-
pared 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 in close vessel,
and was ready for use as occasion might re-
quire. To repel the insects in question,
one part of this mixture was added to from
fifty to 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 ogeridn,
the first application need not be applied ear
lier than the 1st of June. The same prep
aration will serve to repel the cabbage fly.
But for the latter, my experiment goes to
show that bisulphide of carbon is cheap,
efficient, and does not simply drive the fly
away, but destroys the maggot. As he
who fights and runs away may live to fight
another day. the bisulphde of carbon rem
edy is, think, to be preferred to the car
bolic acid mixture for use against the cab.
bage maggot We sprinkled the carbolic
acid preparation directly upon the radish
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 osss, so far escapes that it is necessary
to apply the liquid as often an e~oa a week
to ensure perfect success. Caution is re-
quired 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
application

Awards at Fairs.

writer in an exchange voices general
complaint among farmers who exhibit their
stock and products at the annual fairs when
he says; I" 1t is to be regretted that there is
often an entire lack Of justice and dscrimina-
tion in the committees which sit in judg-
ment on the products of industry, will and
thought. Men get elected on boards OF
trustcoc that they may nominate committee
men who will give premiums to them or to
their relatives, whether merited or not.
Sometimes combinations are made to carry
out this infamous favoritism, and the prin-
ciple of tickle me and I'll scratch you is
carried out. 1t thus happens that neither
the best cattle, nor the best plowing, nor
the best vegetables, nor the best fruits, re-
ceives the highest prizes, but they are given
to the man who, as trustee, nominates the
committee, or to his sisters, his cousins
and his aunts.'" But this complaint has been
made for many years, and no effective rem
edy has ever been applied at any fair in
New England, so far as we are informed. In
Canada there is no such complaint, because
there is no chance for it. The committees
of award are taken from a distance, being
engaged in advance and their expenses paid
by the society, and their awards are all
made and the exhibits ticketed before the
fair opens, the exhibitors being excluded
while the committees are at work. Every
way this is preferable to our own slip-slod

Land Poor.

"A man travelling in New Hampshire
and seeing laborer at work in field, said,
rather pityingly, to him; You must have
hard time of it, this land is so rocky and
barren p And the laborer replied Yes,
stranger, it is poor land. But don't think
I'm so poor as I seem, don't own any of
it."-Fumny Paper. Yes, and it is said, on
the authority of the Secretary OF the New
Hampshire State Board of Agriculture, that
over 1000 farms in that state have been de
serted by their owners because they did not
make living upon them. Those men were
land poor. Yet there are other thousands of
farmers in New Hampshire and other New
England States who make good living, and
some get rich at farming on that same sort
of land. The trouble with the deserters
was that they spread themselves over too
much land they tried to make the scant
"help," few teams and little manure cover
so many acres that the result was small
crops and failure. The successful farmer
in New England to-day is he who farms in
tensely; selecting those crops for culture
which sell best in eastern markets, attempt
ing no competition with western prairie
crops, cultivating few acres thoroughly
until he can till many acres in the same
way. Fruit growing, gardening, grass farm
ing, sheep and fancy cattle breeding, and
dairying, are the branches upon which the
eastern farmer depends for profit, and all
conducted on no larger scale than his means
permit of doing well.
