KEROSENE AND SOAP AS 1NsECT1rUDEs

Experiments have heen carried on at the
Agricultural Department grounds at Wash
ington for some time, with kerosene oil for
destroying Insects that nfest trees and
plants. Formerly kerosene was made into
an emulsion with skinned milk by churn-
ing the two together for a time, when the
mixture could be diluted with clear water
tor application. More recent experiments
have shown that common bar soap, and
whale oil soap, may be used for making the
kerosene emulsion, and the following form
MIA is given for the benefit of orchardists
and gardeners: Kerosene, two gallons
common soap, or whale oil soap, half pound;
water. one gallon. Heat the solution OF
SOAP, and add it boiling hot to the kerosene.

with a spoonful of fine white sugar, flavor
if you like, spread over the tops, and brown
slightly.
A breakfast DiSh-ls made by broilino
some very thin slices of ham. Butter some
thin slices of toast and lay the ham on them;
then pour over it a sort of omelet made by
beating eight eggs with about one cup of
sweet milk; add pepper and salt, and fry
this in saucepan in which you have put a
lump of butter and allowed it to melt.
Serve at once and while very hot.
Lemon Pie, H.-Grate the yellow part of
the rind of one lemon, and squeeze the Juice
into it. Make smooth in cold water one
tablespoonful of cornstarch, and add to the
lemon then add the yolks of three eggs,
well-beaten, one cupful of sugar, and lastly
one cuptul of boiling water. Set this on
the top of the stove; stir, and cook it till it
thickens. Bake the crust, and when it is a
little cool, pour in the above mixture. Beat
the whites to a stiff froth with one spoonful
OF frosting sugar; spread over the tops of
the pies, and brown slightly in the oven.
Stuffed Cabbage.-Cut out the heart of
large fresh cabbage; ill the vacancy with
cooked chicken or veal copped very fine,

Editor Husbandman:
have read in the past twclV" months
several articles in your valuable paper in
regard to - Scabby potatoes. have @ar-
dcned tor a number of years and have had
good chance to study all kinds of vegeta
bes, and will endeaVor to explain the only
cause Of sCabby potatoes. 1t is too much
water. Your items on the subject that it
is best to plant on new land are correct.
have grown potatoes on all kinds of land.
and find our crop of vegetables never scab
on the bench lands, but will scab in the low
lands. Scabby potatoes are seldom seen in
the market here. This is because we grow
them an the right kind OF land. In 1873, in
your valley, we had in a large crop of pota-
toes and they dried out early. The land
was nidding low. we irrigated. and there
come weeks rain and left the ground in
what You might call >luSh. and our whole
crop was thereby ruined. do not ask tn,
farmers to take my word for this, but try il
as we have. Plant few on low land and
give them plenty of water so as to keep
them in muddy condition, and see if scab
is not the result. | have made a study of
vegetable life, as anyone must to succeed
and congratulate myself upon raising as
good a variety OF vegetables as anyone. It
is not only potatoes that will Scab, brt any

allow lher fields to suffer by giving 100
much credit TO lhe good of The showers
We seldom havc enough rain to avert the
necessity ut the usual courses OF irrigatlng.
yet it i pleasing to have the showers come,
for they help the crops and sustain our
ranges. There was Il fair amount OF moist
ure in the ground at the opening of Spring,
and the grass got pretty good start but
the late dry weather has had great effect
on the ranges. However, should the show
ers continue the grass crop and range will
be as promising as usual

omt-halt pounds OF potatoes are rtquil ed to
supply the amount OF carbon contained in
one pound OF bread: and three and oue-halt

potatoes should cost less than one haltpen-

NV own observations in Ireland have full
lv convinced me of the wisdom OF William
Cobbett's denuncation of the potato as a
staple article of food. The bulk that has to
life, converts the potato-teeder into mere
assimilating machine during a large part Of
the day. and render. him unfit for any kind
of vigorous mental or bodily eXertiOn. If |
step toward the regeneration of the Irish
people would be the introduction, acclama-
tizing, and dissemination of the Colorado
beetle, in order TO produce complete and
permanent potato-famine. The effect of
potato-feeding may b, studied by watching
the work of a potato-ted Irish mower or
| reaper who comes across to work upon an
English farm where the harvest men are
fed in the farmhouse and where beer is not
excessive. The improvement of his work
| ing powers after two or three weeks OF
English feeding is comparable to that of a

THERE is money in the poultry business
it rightly managed.
Eggs at forty cents per dozen are cheaper
food than beef at 25 cents per pound.
MONTANA poultry growers should raise
their own feed.
Do NOT t, ed the male fowls too highly if
fertile eggs are wanted.
KEEP chicks in cleanly quarters and feed
them several times per day.
CUT straw is excellent for the nests of
sitting hens; the seeds in hay attract mice.
PRICES for poultry and eggs may decline
a little this season owing to the stringency
of the times, but these products at prices
equal with other articles of food in the Ter
ritory, will pay we'll for production.

As we jog on towards election day it
is well enough to remember occasionally
that Chairman Jones was the original
introducer in this country of European
contract labor.
1t is not the majority SO much as the
number of Republican votes in Vermont
that will test the strength of Mr.. Blaine.
His party should have polled more votes
this time than in 1880, if the New En-.
gland statesman is strong at home. Why
has there been a falling off?
Drawing contumely and persecution,
hundreds of colored men in Ohio are
breaking away from their old party
affiliations. 1t is a second emancipation.
Although Mr.. Edmunds is against
Cleveland and declines to come out for
Blaine his closest friends do not suspect
him of any sympathy with the Prohibi.
ton movement.
"Blaine's growing strength" is the
caption of an article floating through the
Republican press. 1t is growing
small by degrees and beautifully less.
OF ten 81 German papers published in
Iowa only one is advocating Blaine.
OF course Mr.. Blaine walked right up
to the ballot-box, last Monday. and put
in his vote for the Prohibition amend
ment
