A NEW PRINCIPLE IN PROTECTION FROM
INSECT ATTACK.-Such is the heading of an
article by J. A. Lintner in the Proceedings
OF the Western New York Horticultural
Society; this principle is to apply to the
plant or to the soil certain odorous sub
stances which are popularity believed to be
disagreeabIe to the insect, and therefore to
drive it away. Among these substances, he
states, may be mentioned, kerosins oil, coal
tar, naphthaline, carbolic acid, gas-lime, and
bisulphide of carbon. These views, he is
careful to remind us, are his own-original
so far as he knows, and have been but
recently conceived.
He mentions somc very interesting details
concerning the attractions which certain
odOrs have for insects, and arguing from this
may be disagreeable to them and by apply
ing these disagreeable odors to plants the
insects viii give them wide berth.
We do not perceive where he can claim
originality in this matter, for it cannot be
considered as a new idea that insects dis
IlkS CCTjdlIl UslOiS. IL HIS lUIisS DtCI hlioNH
that the plum weevil dislikes the smell of
coal-tar, and one Of the many remedies for
keeping this insect from plums is to sus-
pend tarred paper or rags on the trees.
Other instances OF similar character might
be mentioned. With regard TO the economic
value of tho idea, we do not place so much
confidence in ii rs the author of the article
under consideration. Insect attacks are
somewhat spasmOdic, and the substances
mentioned above as being disagreeable TO
insect life, are now used for destroying them
when they make their appearance, and
practically, it will be found that farmers
and gardeners viii not make remedial appli-
cations until they are assured of their
necessity.
We are not disposed to underrate the
efforts of entomolosists for if they have not
do1e much in the way Of discovering insect
remedies, they help TO promuIgate those
already III use and their studies in the life
history of insects oftentimes suggest to the
cultivator facts which he can render
profitable.

AMERICAN FOREST CoNVENTION-1n
a notice of the late meeting of the above
convention, the Gardeners Monthly has the
following: Sin view of the general beneficial
influence which will result, it will be, per-
haps, fair not to criticise too closely the char
acter of many of the papers read. To our
mind the forestry question is a very narrow
one. Everybody knows that timber is of
the first Importance to a community. Every
body wants trees planted, but everybody
wants somebody else to plant them.
"What we want to know is, will it pay in
dividuals to plant trees If so, where and
how? If it can be demonstrated that it will
not pay any individual without State aid,
what and how should this aid be granted?
In regard to existing forests, what should be
done to prevent forest fires?
$50 far as we can learn nothing was done
in this practical direction. How the springs
dry up; how the Chinese eat one another in,
punishment for cutting away forests; how
many hundred thousand millions of feet of
boards we may yet cut from our forests;
how many forest schools Europe has all
these and similar topics were deservedly
well ventilated. A memorial to Congress to
establish a forestry school near Minneapolis,
seems to be all the official result of the meet
ing. Another is to be held at Montreal in
August, week before the meeting of the
American Association, when it will probably
turn to more practical work" q.

plant will, before it sends up its flower stems
show a greater superficial area Of foliage
than the clover will at the same age, and if
the two crops are ploughed under at that
time the wheat will furnish more nutriment
to the land than the clover will do; but
when the clover is allowed TO grow for two
or more years, and thus increase in the size
and extent of its roots, and then plowed
under, it, as a matter OF course, furnishes
more organic matter than the annual plant
can be expected to furnish. But when COM
pared with the nutriment furnished by plow-
ing under full crop of cabbages or turnips,
even the clover would be left behind Com
pare clover with a crop of Hungarian grass,
under equal conditions as to soil and the
grass would be equally valuable; so also
with italian rye grass when grown on poor
soils for manurial purposes. AS a rapid
growing plant for plowing under we know
of no plant so valuable as the Italian rye
grass. 1t will grow well during winter III
the southern States, can be sown in fall
there, and a good manure crop plowed down,
upon which cotton can be planted.
Agricultural chemists have themselves to
blame if the practical farmer is slow to listen
to their promulgations. They attempt to
explain too much; they seem to look upon
it as their peculiar province to give reasons
for every natural phenomena they may hap
pen to meet, and this ambition leads to much
writing of opinions which are alphabetically
plausible but practically absurd.

PHYLLoXERA IN AUSTRALIA. - The
most strenuous efforts are now being made
by the Fictorisn authorities to stamp out
the grape root insect which is threatening
the ruin Of all the vineyards in the colony.
Every vineyard in the affected district has
been or is to be uprooted, and so completely
is the work being carried out that even the
vines trailing over verandahs round coun-
try house are ruthlcssly sacrificed. When
the work has been finished, the nearest
vineyard will be separated from the infected
districts by a belt of some thirty miles Of
country. This has been fittingly considered
a proper case for compensation, and the ad-
joining colonies have agreed to bear their
fair share of the cost. The value of the
vines destroyed has been appraised, and it is
estimated that the total sum to be paid to
the owners will amount to $250,000 dollars.

PEANUTs.-Dr. Briggs, Of Nansemond,
Va, is authority on the cultivation of the
peanut.
light sandy soil, he says with clay
subsoil, moderately rich with an abundance
OF lime, or mari, cOmposted with fresh soil
from the fence corners or wood, applied in
the drill or broadcast, produces the largest
yield of bright marketable peas. A rich,
dark, loamy soil, particularly when not well
drained, will give magnificent growth Of
vines yielding large quantity of hay, but
very few peas.
There are two kinds of peanuts grown
by our farmers-the bunch anu the spread
ing. The bunch is slightly the largest, may
be planted nearer together in the rows in
both directions, is easier to cultivate be-
cause Fits upright growth, and after curing
one-fourth more can be pulled off the vines
IN q day; but it yields One-third less hay
than the spreading pea.
Plant in May when the soil is dry enough
to crumble. Fallow the land several weeks
before planting. DR.. Briggs prefers plant

off lines two and half feet apart with
cotton marker, dropping single pea every
twelve inches and covering one inch deep.
Every fifth row drop two in each hill three
or four inches apart, to be used for resettings.
This will be found far preferable to replant-
ing, as the young plant can be easily re-
moved, even in the driest weather. without
lniuring the roots.
The first blowing is generally with a
small turn plow, running the Landslide close
to the plants on each side, so soon as they
can be seen, from one end of the row to the
other-similar to riding off corn-then, if
there be much grass the crop is gone
through with the hoes and replanted or reset
which dresses out the balks very nicely,
and throws the furrow made by the turn
plow back to the edge of the plant. The
second working is done by the shovel or
cotton plow after an interval of two or three
weeks, or as soon as the condition of the
crop seems to require it. The plow is run
once more on each side of the plants, fol-
lowed by the wedding hoe, which draws up
the earth very slightly around che plants
carefully pulling up all the sprigs of grass
from among the branches of the plants !;
again the cultivat0r harrow or cotton plOw
cleans the balls.
The third and last blowing is done in the
same way, and now the runners on which
the nuts are formed are seen entering the
earth. The shovel plow is run as close to
the plant as practicable, avoiding injury to
the runners, and the hoe hands are in
structed to draw the loose earth close up
around the plants, leaving a broad fiat hill
and the cotton plow or shovel, with its
wing, runs in the centre of the balk, leaving
the ground loose, with a broad fiat ridge, in
which the peanuts are developed. As soon
as the plants are seen "pigging" all work
ing must cease, crop should be laid by, as
corn should be before tasseling Of
Industry.
