| A correspondent Of the Toledo Blado
recommends the method following to rid
the garden OF moies: Take q handful
| or yellow dent.corn aud soak it in bo,
wafer until the thin skin OF tho kernel
can be loosed then take each kcruai
and prick the skin over the spreut lust
enough TO admit some arsenic or Paris
green. / use OF the latter q mite "a big
as tho bead ola pin then let the skin
lie back over the hoe and dry. Second.
take small stick and push IL down in
the dirt directly over the hole (be sure
not to go deep then drop in a kernel
or two OF corn. The moles will discov-
er the corn and eat the sprout.

DESTROYING TIE CABBAGE woRN.-x
As the season for gardening il here.
] tho. question Of preserving cabbage
from destruction Ivy the Cabbage worm
Is Of especial interest. II is said on
I good authority, thai The most satisfac-
tory remedy yet tested, consists OF a
mixture OF bali pound each OF hard
soap aud kerosene oil in three gallons
OF water. Two or three applications
are generally sufficient. Tbs growing
cabbage presents such a mass Of leaves
IN which the worms may be concealed
that it ia hardly possible TO reach all
at one application. I, is OF Importance
tbercfore,to repeat the use OF any rem
coy A. frequent intervals.
FOE FEECR PosT5.-A writer in en-
exchange says: 4 discovered many
years ago. that wood could BIC made TO
last longer than iron in the ground, bat
thought the process 40 simple that IL
