Farming Paragraphs.

A brick cistern will outlast the con-
crete cistern in sandy soils by score Of
years. Concrete walls in sandy soils are
very liable to crack by frost or Of pres
sure, and then leak, OF cave in, or both.
Use only best quality of water lime for
the mortar to lay up the brick and then
to plaster the inside. After the plaster
hardens give it a good coat Of white
wash made with water lime.
Red clover will produce the heaviest
crop of hay on suitable land that can be
grown. About four pounds of green
grass make one of hay. Orchard grass
produces pound of hay to less than
three pounds Of grass. Alsike clover
yields less than the red variety, but the
proportion of grass to hay is the SAME:
While it is advisable to secure as large
yield as possible, it is best to grow mix
ture in order to secure quality.
. A correspondent of the Country Gen.
stleman objects to the smokehouse for
smoking meats Every one knows that
this way of smoking befouls the outside
of the meat; that by the breaking of
string piece is often lost, and that not
infrequently the smokehouse furnishes
q confagration. But how else can meat
be smoked? This correspondent says to
thoroughly smoke the barrel inside
with maple or hickory chips or corn
cobs, pack the pieces closely and cover
with prepared pickle.
One good agency for keeping the air
of the cellar sweet and wholesome is
whitewash made of good white lime and
water only. The addition of glue or
Size Or anything of this class is only
damage by furnishing organic matter to
speedily purify. The use of lime in
whitewash is not only simply to give
white color, but it greatly promotes the
oxidation of effluvia in the cellar air.
Any vapors that contain combined nit
rogen in the unoxidized form contribute
powerfully to the development of dis
ease germs. =

Insects Injurious to Farm and Garden
Crops.

Cabbage fea-The first insect of im-
portance that appears is the small
black flea or jumping beetle that at
taoks the cabbage, radish, turnip, etc.
Busting with Paris green mixed with
one hundred times its weight of Plaster
has proved an effectual remedy. This
must be done when the plants are wet
and after every rain.
Cutwornl-The, cutowrm of which
there are several species, including the

and may be destroyed by the same rene
dy as the above. We would advise trial
Of pyrethrum powder mixed with five
times its bulk of plaster as being more
safe, although we have no positive proof
that it will be effectual.
Striped squash bug.-The striped
squash bug, which has been so abund-
ant for the past two seasons, IS best
in check by the use of plaster and Paris
green. For the family garden the
safest and most satisfactory way to over
come them is to make bottomless box
twelve inches square and six or eight
inches deep, and cover it with mosquito
netting. One of these boxes placed
over each hill until the plants have be-
come tough and hard is sure protec-
ton.
The potato beet1e-The potato beetle
has evidently become permanent resi-
dent among us. Paris green extended
with plaster, -four OF water, is the only
cheap and easily applied remedy known
at present, but great care must be OK
ercised in it's use, and especially in the
place where the package is kept, that
it may not get upon the food of animals.
Cabbage worm-The cabbage worm,
the larva of the common white butterfly,
may be easily destroyed in several ways.
That of hand picking, if begun before
the first brood has passed into it's per-
feet state, is effectual. We have also
found that pyrethrum powder mixed
with five times it's bulk of plaster and
busted into the centre of the leaves with
sulphur bellows, is certain destruction

ton of insecticides in liquids to the

inches in diameter. 49,. "a. : r 49, =
Currant worm.-The currant worm
should be destroyed, while small, with
the dust of heilebore or pyrethrum.
The latter, being perfectly harmless, is
to be more highly recommended.

far been the most difficult to overcome
