House plants suffer from three evils;
Ovcr-watcring, want of water, and vGr-
min. One other evil is the dryness OF
the air and the gases from stoves and
heaters, but when plants are healthy
and free from vermin, they will resist a
good deal of bad air Overwhelming
causes the leaves and blossoms to fall
off, and produces wet, spindling
growth. Plants in dry rooms require
a good deal of water, but yet the wa.
terng may be overdone without really
supplying the needs of the plants.
Want of water causes the leaves to be-
come yellow, and the growth stops.
When plants are thus diseased they
seem to be the especial prey of vermin,
of which the green lice are the worst.
These, however, are easily got rid Of
70 water a plant properly the soil
should be saturated, but no more,
twice week. Water should be given
until some of it appears in the drain
ing saucer; this, however, will soon be
absorbed by the soil. If it is not, too
much has been given. When water is
given in small quantities every day,
only the surface is moistened and the
lower soil will be dry and baked.
The green lice must be removed from
the plants. They gather on the young
shoots and leaves and suck the sap.
To remove them tobacco water is used.
A small quantity of tobacco is stepped
in hot water, and the liquor poured
into bottle. A small, stiff brush,
such as is used in mucilage bottles, is
to be dipped in this liquor, and the
parts infested with the lice brushed over
with it. The lice may be removed in
this way and by washing the brush in
hot water. A little sulphur added to
the liquor will make il more effective.
1t will be necessary to repeat the oper-
alton until all the lice are destroyed.
and then little watching only is re-
quired to keep them in subsection,
The lice reproduce themselves with
wonderful rapidity, and it is necessary
to continue repressive measures until
the last one disappears.

The census tables of 1870 showed
that the real workers of the country
then produced wealth to the amount of
about $500 for each pair of hands.
The census tables of 1880 show that
the average wages paid to- all mechani-
cal and mill hands was S347 per year;
and the wages of farm workers in 1880
were still less. Probably an average
wage of $500 per year for all our work

Notwithstanding its acknowledged
importance, says the Maine Farmer,
how many farmers there are who do
not keep debt and credit with the farm.
With the beginning of the new year is
good time to begin an accurate aC-
count of receipts and expenditures, if it
has not already been begun. A book
suitable for the purpose costs but little,
and the time required tomako the prop
per entries'is u very small matter COM
pared with the benefits to be derived.
The left hand page may be used rs the
debtor column, where the farm is to be
charged, with everything expended up
on it, including dressing, labor of all
kinds, whether man or animal, taxes,
insurance and interest on its cash val
ne, etc. The right hand page will be
the credit column, where the farm is to
be given credit for everything il pro.
duceS, whether it be used on the farm
or sold. When page is filed the col
umns OF figures should be carefully adj
ded and the amount carried to the top
of the column of the same side. This
is n very simple method of keeping
accounts, but it will answer every
purpose, and will show at the end of
the year whether the farmer has made
or lost by his business. Accounts
with special crops can be kept in
essentially the same way, if desired.
Farmers should also keep n cash
book. Every intelligent man engaged
in trade. keeps cash book, which is
carefully balanced up every night, and
the footings compared with the cash on
hand, and person engaged in retail
trade would find it very difficult to get
credit of the wholesale or iobbing
house if it were known that he did not
keep cash account. On one page
put down everything sold and the
amount received for it. On the other
put down all the expenditures; then by
adding up the two columns, the differ
ence should represent the cash on hand.
If there is any disagreement, be sure
there is some error in making the en-
tries, or there isa "holein the pocket"
A farmer keeping book of this kind
knows his "latitude and longitude,
as well as the captain of ship, and is
less likely to run on the shoals, or 90
among the breakers, than his more
negligent neighbor. The habit of keep
ing accounts also affects the farmer in
other directions, in rendering him more
methodical in all his farm operations.
