The Cabbage Pest.

4 writer in the Prairie Farmer saws he &C
cideuially rid himself Of the cabbage worm
last year. lie tells the story as follows
Like many others We are afflicted with
the cabbage pest OF pests, there being two
varieties Of the worm, agreeing in one re-
spect-their fondness for cabbage. We had
the usual number Of plants Sc, in our gar
den. We had also a large bed Of carrots, in
which the failure Of seed left occasional va
cancies. These we're filed up with cabbage
plants. In the garden the worms were
picked several times, besides treating them
to sal, and pepper and such condiments,
but TO no avail. The worms took the cab
bage. In the carrot bed the worms were
picked once while the carrots we're small
after that the cabbage grew without moles
tation and ripened without sign Of a worm
upon them. Just outside the carrots were
q few oabbages which were entirely de-
stroyed by worms. while among the carrots
not leaf was punc,ured. These are the
facts. and We have no carrot seed to sell.
We raised fine crop Of carrots, which We
appreciated for spring feeding, and saved
our cabbages. We shall try it again thu,
year as an experiment; last year it was an
accident. which gave such good results that
We have confidence in it. Our theory is
that the strong odor Of the carrots is efen.

Water in Cisterns.

The Boston Journal If Chemistry has
some very practical hints upon the purity
OF water in cis;erns. II saws:
We have received frequent inquire, re-
garding the use Of cisteru water for drink
ing purposes. No general reply can be
given that viii hold good in all cases.
Under certain oondit N. cistern water is
found TO be very pure, and excepting for
the fiat, insiNil taste, : preferable TO most
well water First, then, in considering
whether cistcrn water is fl to drink. We
ask whether the roof on which it falls is Of
tin, wood or slate. Are any injurious
metals employed for cutters or leaders? Is
the house surrounded by overhanging trees,
from which the leaves collect in the CUTTERS
ami are washed into the oisiern? Do
pigeons or fowls frequent the roof and
soil it' For these and other reasons it is
not advisable to permit the first wsshings
Of the roof TO enter the oistern.
The cistern itself should he w,ll-made,
carefully cemented. and thoroughly
clcansed at least every two years. /; should
have free access Of pure air, no, the air Of
cellar, and the pump-pipe should not
reach too near the bottom so as to star up
the sediment. It Is well 10 throw into the
cisiern from time 10 time peck Of freshly
burned charcoal. One corner Of the
c.s,ern may be- walled off with porous
brick, 50 as to strain the water that passes
through. and the pump-ripe NAV be placed
within this little cell
Lead pipe must lr..g no circumstances
be placed in a c.stern. because lead is at
tackled by soil water and here both exterior
and interior are exposed to Its action. Iron
IS less Objectionable. but i, is preferable TO
have il coated within and without with
asphalt varni.h, or better yet, with india
rubber. When cistcrn water acquires
bad smell, stop using It. except for cooking
or making tea. II It Is during the dr.,

Slow Trot the Safest.

The action Of the hinder legs of horses
reminds US Of one useful hint to those who
have to use their horses on long journeys
If we follow a weil-formed horse, with the
free use Of his limbs, on a road upon which
his footsteps are imprinted, We shall find
that the hinder foot oversteps the fore foot
in the walk, but falls behind it in the SLOW
trot. Exclusive Of relief to the msuoles by
change of action, then, it is safer to vary
the pace from a walk to a slow trot on a
journey, as causing less fatigue to the hook
joint, by which curbs and spavins are fire.
quently thrown out. Add to this. the SLOW
trot is the safest pace horse goes, because
his steps shortest.-Prairie Farmer.

Work so be Resumed on the Trench
Mine

The Eureka Sentinel learns from
John McGrath. who is there at present
in the interest of The Trench Mining
Company, that steps are being taken
To resume work on the old Trench
mine, and oilers belonging tn that
company on White Pine Mountain,
near Hamilton. Some seven or eight
tons OF ore from these mines will be
brought over to the Ge'ldes x Ber-
tranl reduction works to determine
whether they can be reduced by the
teaching process in use there. If so,
teaching vats will be pul up at the
old Monte Christie mill. and work lie
started directly. That the ores can
be so reduced is confidently expected.
We are told by Mr.. MeGrath that in
addition to the nigh grade ON hand in
the mines there Is a verv large guam
tity OF los grade ore, ranging from
$50 Il $40 per ton. already miHed and
ready to he redncel. The resump-
ton ar work on White Pine Mountain
is important and is another indica-
tion that that district may yet regain
its lost prestige.
