CURE FOR CABBAGE PEsTs.-A gentle
man in West Virginia believes that he has
discovered simple and efectual remedy
for that abominabIe pest, the cabbage worm;
1t is so simple, and easily obtained that IL
should be tried by all who are in any way
troubled with the creature, and, although
out of the season of growing cabbage, may
be noted down in the memorandum book
for reference at the proper time. The reme-
dy consists in procuring smart weed, or
pepper weed, as it is sometimes called, well
known to all farmers, growing in and about
farm yards, or sometimes by the roadside.
Take the weed green and dry it thoroughly,
so that it can be reduced to powder, which
sprinkle over the young plants, or when
the worms begin to appear; it will also
prevent injury from the little black f1eas
that sometimes infest the plant. Possibly,
if the smart weed was boiled in water, and
that sprinked on the plants, it would serve
the same purpose.

MANURE.-Whered does the manure do the
most good? This is very important ques-
ton for farmers. Fashions change in farm
practice as we'll as in other things. There
are always innovators and persons, like the
ancient people, who are always looking for
something new. Thus in regard to manure.
Some years ago farmers always ploWed it
under. They believed that the plants food
should be put as near to its mouths as posi-
BILE, seeing that the mouths could not 60 out
of the soil for their food. And SO they put
it down in the soil where the roots natural
ly seek to 60. But those who wanted some
new idea, for a change, said, I'VE will R9 Put
the manure on the surface" and they did,
and have reported wonderful success. But
some farmers, who are not apt to change
when they have good method, 60 on plow;,
ing in the manure for all sown or planted
crops, and get it as near to the seed as pos
sibie. For all grass lands or Fall sown
grain, in the Spring top dressing alone is
possible; but for all planted crops it seems
natural and reasonable that the manure
should be put just where the roots can find
it, and that is under the surface.-Ne'o Io*

YELLOW PINE.-Workers in ornamental
wood now assert that yellow pine, hard fin
ished in OIL is the rival in beauty of any
wood that grows, not excepting the costliest
of the hard species, it being susceptible of
receiving and maintaining as high degree
of polish as any known wood, while, when
impregnated with oil, itisalmost indestruc-
tibIe. In such condition it is almost i'm
pervious to even hot grease and other sub
stances that leave an ineffaceable stain upon
white pine, maple, and various other woods.

@~ The discussion of the Mexican pension
bill in the Senate brought out some queer
Statistics about the pensioners of the war
of 1872. That war ended nearly seventy
years ago, and the number of troops engaged
in it was not remarkably great, yet to-day
there are twenty-one thousand pensioners
on the rolls as widows of that war; They
drew last year 81, ,Ss2, 900, or five and half
times as much as the few thousand OLD SOL
diers surviving. Ofcourse, the explanation
is that some of these widows were married
to the veteran warriors half a century or SO
after the war was over, and they became en-
titled to their pensions in due time when
their husbands died. Thusit isnot lmprob-
able that in the twentieth century great
many of the twenty-one thousand widows
will still be drawing pensions on account OF
the war of 1912.

HORSE SENsE.-We talk of the intelli-
gence of the horse, and generally this noble
animal is credited with a considerable de-
gree of sense. Curiously enough, however,
little attention is paid to this in breaking
and training horses, and about as little by
the average horse dealer. If trainers were
careful to remember that the horse has an
acute faculty for understanding and inter.
preting the tone of voice they would act
differently in talking or speaking to horse.
If you talk confidently the animal acquires
confidence if your voice shows fear, he no.
tices it and is afraid. One should always
talk kindly to his horse, and be sure he un-
derstands the meaning of the tone if not the
words. If it becomes necessary to punish,
horse to teach him something he should
know, it should be done with gentle lev
el-headed firmness, which a well-bred horse
will appreciate, and understand almost as
we'll as child. twill always be safe to-
cognize the horse sense Of horse, and treat
him accordingly. 1t begets a confidence
and a mutual understanding between him
and his owner which greatly enhances his
value for all purposes.

Is the season in which bad or poisoned blood is
most apt to show itself Nature, at this juncture,
needs something to assist it in throwing off the
impurities which have collected by the sluggish
circulation of the blood during the cold winter
months Swift's Specific is natures great helper,
as it is purely vegetable Alternative and tonic.
Rev. L. B. Paine, Macon, Ga, writes "We
have been using Swifts Specific at the orphans
home as a remedy for blood complaints, and as
general health tonic, and have had remarkable
results from it's use on the children and employ
ees of the institution. It is such an excellent
tonic, and keeps the blood so pure, that the sys-
tenn is less liable to disease. 1t has cured some
of our children Of Scrofula"

Mg~ The Supreme Courtof Massachusetts, in
the case Of Charles Cowley VS.. r. NJ. Pulsi-
fer and others, proprietors of the Boston
Herald, has just rendered decision which
will be of interest to the public generally,
and to publishers of newspapers particular
ly. A petition for the removal of Cowley
from membership of the bar was filed in the
Clerks office of the Supreme Court, and the
same being published in the Herald, Cow
lev began a suit for libel. The case came
up in the Superior Court, and the presiding
Judge concurring in the views of counsel for
defendant, that as the petition had been
filed in court it was privileged communi-
cation, ruled that plaintiff could not main
tain his action and directed verdict for
defendant. Cowley took exceptions to the
Supreme Court, which have been sustain
tained, and the Court holds that it was not
a privileged communication, and to justify
a Verdict for defendant it should have been
shown that the charges in the petition
against COWley were true. The full Court
lays down the rule that newspapers in re-
porting cases actually on trial in any Court
are protected from libel suits, but that they
cannot set up privileges as defense in
libel suit after publishing an ec pdrfe state
ment of a case taken from papers on file IN
the office of the Clerk of Court. 1t is also
held that papers on file in the Clerks office
are not open to public inspection, and that
only the written record Of the case disposed
of is open to such inspection.

RAISING CHICKENs.-DO not be In a hur-
ry to invest in incubators, if you are far
mer, and have anything else to do besides
looking after the poultry yard. The wooden
incubators are we'll enough for men who
have plenty of money, and make the rails
ing Of eggs and chickens q speciality. A
good many things about incubators are not
yet proved, and farmer who has his bread
to earn, can afford to wait little longer,
and use the original method for Matching
and raising chickens. The hen is good for a
dozen eggs, and, if she be left to her own
selection of nest, is pretty sure to hatch
them, if they are fertilized. You may pro-
tect her against vermin, but she covets pri-
vacy, and desires to be be left alone. When
her brood is off she needs little help, a
coop for shelter, and regular feeding with
mixed diet of animal and vegetable food,
and water or milk to drink-the latter if
you can get it. Nothing is better than
milk for the fowls. The young chicks will
help, rather than hinder in the garden,
until they are month or six weeks old.
They will destroy multitude of insects,
and then thrive on them. The early hatch
ed chickens are best for layers, but late sum-
mer is quite as good for broilers. They
never come amiss at any time on the farm.
SAUER-KRAUT.-This is the way sauer-
kraut is made in Strasburg, Germany. They
slice very white and firm cabbages in fine
shreds with machine made for the purpose.
At the bottom of a small barrel they place a
layer of coarse salt and alternately layers
of cabbage and salt, being careful to have
one of salt on top. AS each layer of cab
bage is added, it must be pressed down by
large and heavy pestle, and fresh layers
are added as soon as the juice floats on the
surface. The cabbage must be seasoned
with a few grains of coriander, juniper
berries, etc. When the barrel is full it must
be put in dry cellar, covered with cloth,
under plank, and on this heavy weights
are placed. At the end ola few days it will
begin to ferment, during which time the
LIQUOR must be drawn off and replaced by
fresh until the liquor becomes clear. This
should be done every day. Renew the
cloth and wash the cover, put the weight
back and let it stand for a month. BY that
time the sauer-kraut will be ready for use.
Care must be taken to let the least air posi-
BILE enter the sauer-kraut, and to have the
cover perfectly clean. Each time the bar
rel has to be opened it must be properly
closed again. These precautions must not
be neglected.
