Troy's Press tells of a farmer who
has tried new remedy for potato
bugs with success. lie procured a
number Of boards and placed them
here and there among his potatoes
and on these boards were placed raw
potatoes sliced. At noon on the first
day Of the experiment he and his
hired men found every piece O. pota-
to covered with bugs. The men killed
this crop and at night another crop
was killed, though not 80 large, and in
a weeks time not bug could be seen
and bis trouble with bugs after this
was comparatively small. In the
spring he says, is the best time to at
tend to bugs, as spring bug he I'M
dorstands breeds from 800 to 500
during the potato season. He thinks
it would be a good plan to dip the
piece ofpotato in paris green, as it
would save the work Of killing them.

There is really but one way to save
the corn crop if the plants are once
attacked by cut worms-that is to dig
the worms out and kill them. 1t is
not difficult task, nor is it very
costly. We presume that fourth
part of the loss sustained would be
the full equivalent Of all the labor it
would cost to dig mp the cut worms
and kill them. The worm does the
mischief at night, and before morning
burrows in the ground near the spot
where its depredations have been
committed. A practiced eye readily
hiscerns the entrance into the hiding
place, a small round hole into which
the worm has passed and lies con-
cealed. The way to bring the pest
np is to thrust q pointed knife down
dhe hole and lift out the earth to the
depth of two or three inches, when
the mslefactor will lie exposed to
view and can be instantly destroyed
We have known of large fields
being cleared by this process at a
cost Of labor 80 slight as to bear no
comparison with the loss that would
have otherwise resulted.

House and Farm.

Many farmers do not raise sweet
corn in their fields or gardens for
fear that it wall mix with their stan
dard ccrn By neglecting to raise 1t
they deprive themselves Of a cheap
and very desirable luxury. If sweet
corn is planted few rods from the
field where common corn is raised,
and against the direction of the pre-
vailing wind, the danger Of mixing
is very slight Sweet corn is much
more desirable for cooking purposes
than the common varieties. 1t is also
more nutritious. If seed is planted
once a week from this time until mid
Summer a succession Of roasting ears
can be secured Sweet corn is a very
desirable crop to raise for cattle.
The stalks are small and the foliage
large. The stalks and leaves contain
almost as large proportion of sugar
MS the grains. Most kinds Of stock
will eat every portion of the plants
above the roots. Sweet corn is very
valuable for converting into ensilager.
It is also one Of the best kinds of fod.
der so raise milk cows. 1t should be
extensively produced by dairymen
for supplying food for COWS during the
time that feed is short in the Summer
or the early part Of the fall. If more
is raised than is wanted for this pur-
pose it can be cut up and placed in
shocks and used for feed in the win
ter. 1t is also Il desirable crop to
raise to feed hogs during the summer
and the early part of the Fall before
the common corn is ripe. They will
eat every portion Of it. The amount
of corn in the country is very small,
and there is great scarcity Of ali
kinds Of food for hogs. BY planting
sweet corn early supply Of food can
be obtained that will keep hogs in
GOOD condition till the common corn
ripens. For convenience in feeding
it should be raised near the pasture
or yard where the hogs are kept.

of an egg, beaten with a pint Of itch
cream and little white sugar. Whisk
it, and as the froth rises put it on the
lemon Juice. Do it the day before used.
TOMATO FR1rTERs. Tomato fritters

Of stewed tomatoes, one egg, one small
teaspoonful of soda; stir in flour
enough to make a batter like that for
griddle cakes. Have some lard very
hot on the stove; drop the batter in, a
spoonful at time, and fry.
VIRGINIA PoNE.-Virginia pone Is
made Of twelve tablespoonfuls Of corn
meal, piece of butter the size OF half
an egg, half teaspoonful of salt; pour
over this a little hot water, beat we'll

There isa proverb which says, "Ligh,
come, light co." signifying that the
things We acquire without effort do stand
by us, have a faculty OF slipping through
our fingers. The windfalls in the orch
ard are always the speckled fruit, which
has spot too mellow for health about
it, or worm at the heart, and the an
alogy holds good in most cases where
windfalls are concerned. The money
which lottery ticket brings in is apt 10
burn hole in the pocket of its owner I;
it come SO easily that he spends il more
lavishly than il he had burned the mid
night oil, or used muscle and nerve to
spin his straw into gold. Perhaps, for
the same reason, it so often happens
that money which generations have
amassed by years Of self.denial, by the
sweat of the brow and the throes OF the
brain, is squandered by the heirs in the
twinkling of an eye, who would think
twice before spending their own earn
ings. An unexpected legacy tempts us
into extravagancics which our regular
income would never countenance We
grow easily into the habit of prodigal
expenditure, the legacy becomes exhaust
ed, but the habit remains. The Persian
rug which we drew at the charity fair
for fifty cents cost us in the end more
than fifty Persian rugs, so to speak and
the horse which our neighbor loaned us
for the winter not only ate more bank
bills than would have bought a-four-in-
hand, but gave our neighbor mortgage
on our gratitude on which we cannot
even expect to pay the interest. We'd
ding gifts seem at the time like so many
windfalls, but though the credit is long,
the bill always falls due, sooner or later.
In fact, rather than be on the watch for
windfalls, il were wiser to stand from
under, and dodge them il need be-
Though they may serve in an emergency,
they too often prove a snare and de-
lusion, and their mischievous effects are
shown when we get to look for them to
help us out Of difficulty-get to rely
on some possible miraculous interference
rather than upon our own mother vii
and exertions. BY growing to depend
upon them, they demoralize us; IL We
have a windfall to-day, why not to-mor'
row, and the day afterl Let us fold oul
hands, then, and wait for windfalls. Ir
this view il is often better, as a matter
Of charity, perhaps, to give work ant
wages rather than money and gifts

cuRIosrTIEs OF TASTE AND SMELL
From Al as Year Around.

From Al the Year around.
Hunger, which is usually associated
with the "mouth watering" and Other
palatal indications, is really located in
the stomach, and can only be appeased
by the presence of solid matter there. -
Some tribes Of Indians show their recog.
milton Of this fact by swallowing earth
when debarred from food; in the South
ern States hunters take with them pills
made of calcined oyster she'll, for use in
case their provisions become exhausted
while crossing the prairies the trapper
of the far West mixes hair (Which is
wholly incapable of digestion) with his
pcmmican on similar principle, super
stitiously insisting that it must be the
fur Of the very animal from the flesh OF
which the compound has been made, to
impart its peculiar virtue Kamschat-
dales stir up sawdust TO give body TO
their train-oil when they are reduced to
live on that:exhilarating beverage; and
the Cingalhese Veddahs mix pounded
wood-fiber with honey when they can
get nothing else. Thirst, again, really
belongs to the stomach, in spite Of the
dryness Of the mouth and throat which
calls our attention TO it, this being en-
gendered by the lack of due fluid pro.
portion in the contents of the blood
vessels. Both human beings and ami.
mails have been seen to drink until they
could drink no longer, without shaking
their thirst, when the throat was cut and
allowed the fluid TO escape. Many ami
mails never drink, but absorb sufficient
moisture for their tissues from the air or
from their food /; there is parrot in
the geological gardens in Regents park
which has lived there fifty-two years
without drop Of water. Snakes will
go year or two withou, food or water,
apparently suffering no inconvenience,
and beetle has lived three years with
out either.
The taste and smell Of many things
are identical, so to speak so that eithrr
sense would Immediately recognize them,
if they had only been exhibited to the
other previously. This is especially the
case with violet, rose, orange, lemon
and most vegetable essential oils. If We
take one long "snff" a, the musk plant.
we cannot detect any odor in it at all
on a second inspiration; and there
would seem to be something peculiar
about the scent of swectbriar, since il
eludeS many peoples olfactory nerves
altogether. The idiosyncracies Of in
dividuals with regard to these two senses
are numberless and entirely inexplica.

10 utter adherence OF certain ordinary
foods has been known TO be hereditary
in families. The reflex action of men
tai association may account for this in
some instances, but certainly not in all.
Heat favors the acuteness OF both senses,
and cold blunts it, it being notorious
that the delicate flavor and bouqet OF
choice wines arc destroyed by overicing
them.
