Bribery In English Elections.

Bribery in English elections is very
common, and by many is regarded as a
legitimate way to make votes. There is
much less sensitiveness upon this point
there than in this country. The Gov
eminent has found the evil growing on
its hands so rapidly that it has made up
its mind that nothing but the most strin-
gent remedies will answer The At
torney Generals bill, so the cable has
informed us. contemplates DISTINGUISHING
wholly from the end of the present Par
lament, Gloucester, Macdesfield and
Sandwich. AT present the first and the
last each have one Liberal member. An
investigating committee has reported
that at the Sandwich election in May,
1880, there was not only great deal of
indirect and partly concealed corruption,
but much direct bribery-open, extern
sive and systematic. The other places
would have about as unsavory records.
In some cases individuals are to be per-
manently DISTINGUISHED. These measures
are harsh, but unless they are adopted
there seems to be no remedy, for public
opinion is yet to be created on the side
of purity. 1t sheds a little light on En-
glish electoral methods to learn that in
the recent special Parliamentary election
in the North Riding of Yorkshire, where
both parties put forth their best efforts,
only 1864 votes were cast, and the
known cost Of the election to the two
candidates was fl5,046, or almost five
collars per vote.

Destroying the Cabbage-w Worm.

My method of meeting this enemy has
been to begin in time, capturing the
white-winged butterfly that lays the
eggs. If the cabbage-grower is remote
from other plantations of cabbage, con-
siderable may be done in this way. But
as rule the butterfly will lay its eggs,
and the enemy must be met in its next
stage. Water heated to about 135 or
145 degrees will destroy the worm with
out injuring the plants; but this requires
more care and labor than will generally
be given. With little more heat the
plants may be injured, with less the
enemy may escape. have found white
hellebore, such rs is used for the currant-
worm, equally destructive to the cab
bage-depredator. My method is to boil
gallon of water and dissolve in it one
heaping tablespoonful of the powdered
hellebore. A very little sprinkled on the
plants will speedily finish the worms
The use of Paris Green or the equally
poisonous London Purple for this pur-
pose cannot be too severely discounte-
nanced. The white hellebore is, it is
true, slightly poisonous; but not all as
Paris Green is. only use the hellebore
in early stages of growth. After the
plants begin to head, use no more he'll
lebore, but content myself with pro-
noting vigorous growth by frequent hoe
ing, and if need be, watering the plants.
A pinch of common salt thrown on a cab
bage plant in August will destroy the
worm almost as well as the hellebore,
and will besides promote the tendency
to form solid, heavy head. Salt is in
fact one of the best special manures for
cabbage. Ny reason for not using it
from the first is because, while very
young, the leaves of the cabbage are ten
der and might be injured. Besides, If |
used salt from the first, the ground
might be oversalted and the crop injured
rather than benefited. Bran, lime and
other substances have been recommended
to destroy or drive away the worm after
the head is forming, but l am satisfied
that salt is the best at that season.-W
T. Fowler, in N. Y. Examiner.

Soaking Seed Against Smut.

Most good farmers have reported their
experience in favor of soaking seed corn
in weak brine before planting, as pre-
ventive of smut, though not always with
the sanction of what are known q sad
vanced agriculturists. They have not
been able to understand how anything
that can be done to seed will have any
effect on what is to happen to the grain
that is produced months afterwards.
However, those farmers who have tried
it have adhered to the practice, and we
suppose there is nothing more certain
than that these brine sleeps do prevent
the smut. Latterly, however, Professor
Brewer. of Yale college, not only admits
thatit is good practice, but shows us the
process by which the smut progresses
from its first establishment on the grain
to its final maturity in the head or ear.
1t appears that the seeds or spores of
the fungus adhere by a sticky coat to the
grain. As soon as the grainsprouts. the
fungus spore sprouts also, and sends its
filaments into the plant, growing rs the
plant grows. and continuing to grow
until the grain is about to reproduce it
self, when the fungus plant is also ready
to reproduce itself, which it does in the
form of smutas we see it; thesmut being
a nest of spores ready for reproduction.
The process is made very, clear. We
see how brine is useful. 1t destroys the
fungus spores, but not the grain. As
corn planting is now upon us it is the
easiest thing for farmers to give this a
trial At times the damage done by
smut isvery serious.--G ermantovn Tele-
graph.

Pigs narrowed in May win do better

set in.-DenUer Tribune.
