A Remedy for Melon Bugs. Flea Beet
les, etc.

les, etc.
Prof. Riley, entomologist, says:
There is probably no more satisfactory
general remedy for the striped cncum-
Der beetle, and the different flea
beetles that so seriously affect cucur-
bitaceous plants, especially when they
are small, than that so successfully
employed by Mr. Quinn, the we'll
known pear, small fruit, and truck
grower of New jersey. he sprinkles
the vines with liquid made chiefly of
soaked tobacco stems and soft soap.
and then powders them with lime.
The following experience of Mr.. J. NJ.
Nicholson, of Godkinville, N. c., is,
however, well worthy of being put on
record as a most ingenious way of
perpetuating the effects of the solution.
Mr.. Nicholson writes in recent letter
as follows:
81 would mention a simple contriv-
ance which l have made and used
with perfect success in DISCRIMINATING
bugs on melon and cucumber vines.
took old oyster and fruit cans (tin)
and filled them with strong decoc-
ton of tobacco stems and water;
poured it on the stems hot and allowed
it to cool: l set one can on each hill
and placed therein a sDOO1e7s string
Tin thickness about the size of a
wheat straw thoroughly wet it, and
allowed it to hang down to the plants.
The string acts as siphon, and draws
the liquid out drop by drop, and keeps
the plants continually moistened with
the offensive liquid. thus driving all
insects away. It further assists in
the growth of the plants. by keeping
the roots moist; yet so continual and
gradual is the application that the sun
neither scalds nor balxes the earth.
merely mention this, as it may be
something new. and / assure you it is
worthy of trial, as it proved entirely
satisfactory to me this season.

and thorn. The ilat-headed borer
is half an inch long. more or less, Of
shining greenish black color. It very
common in the western and southwest
ern states, and is also found far north.
1t attacks the trunk of the trees from
the ground up to the limbs, and lays
its eggs. at the South late in May, and in
Canada in June and July. The eggs soon
hatch, and the worms bore through the
bark into the sapwood. It is much
shorter lived than the round-headed
borer. Sickly trees are more liable to
its attacks than strong and healthy
ones. The Larvae are easily found by
using the knife. and are destroyed; and
the eggs may be mostly excluded with
the soap and soda wash already men
toned. The insect attacks the oak,

In the first place, what kind of a
horse is best for the farm and road. for
we want one that will answer both
purposes equally well? We want a
horse with bright, intelligent face
and eyes; short, but not thick head;
short ears, neck small at the throat,
deep at the shoulders, with broad
chest; short on the back, ribbed up
close to the hips, with broad hips; 141
to Isl hands high, 1000 to 1000
pounds in weight. A horse that will
do the most work on the least food,
wear the longest and be the least apt
to become unsound. The horse de-
scribed will fill the requirements per-
fectly, providing the temperament is
good. His frame is built solidly to-
gether, and he will retain his form and
vigor, and will not become unsound in
lung or limb with proper use, even
when old. Such is the horse for far
mers who must use the same animal
for farm and road, for he is one that
can draw plough with ease, go to
church in good style, or for the doctor
in hurry, or in bad place can draw
you out.

A great number of remedies have
been proposed or used for this formid-
able insect, commonly known as the
green worm" Some of them have
obtained credit by using where the
worms were few in numbers. Pro-
fessor Lazenby says he has tried lime
water, tar water, copperas solution,
whale-oil soap, brine, powdered tansy,
tobacco water, and pyrethrum, the last
being the most effective, both as pow
der and in solution. In powder it
should be mixed with twenty parts of
-four, buck-wheat being best. and in
solution a tablespoonful in twelve
quarts of water. DR.. Sturtevant,
Prof. Cook. and others have success
fully used the kerosene emulsion,
made of one ounce of hard
soap, one pint of kerosene, and six
quarts Of water, well churned together
and constantly stirred during applica-
ton. 1t will destroy the worms if
they are thoroughly wet, and should
be used when they first make their APP
pearance. 1t should be thrown with
some force, using fountain pump.
Milk, sweet or sour, may be used in
place of the soap. On a small scale
an egg-beater may be used for mixing
the ingredients. More recently bran
and -four, and especially buckwheat
-four, have been recommended, and APP
pear to be effectual, if used when the
worms are quite young; when mature
they do not care a cent for it. A
small handful will be enough for a
cabbage head. 1t should be used
when the dew is on. Two or three
applications may be necessary. Hot
water. at a temperature of about $50
degrees, will destroy the young worms,
but some skill is required to adapt the
heat to its intended purpose without
injuring the plants. Boiling water
may be used if instantaneously applied,
the water partly cooling in the air as
it passes from the rose to the cabbages.

Apple Tree Borer.

The apple tree borer, known as the
round-headed borer, in its perfect state
is beetle three-fourths of an inch
long, with two broad whitish stripes
running the whole length of its back,
with rather long and curved horn-like
antenna This beetle lays its eggs in
the bark of the tree near the ground
early in summer, and on till midsum-
mer. These soon hatch, and the young
Larvae begin to gnaw their way in
wards, cutting gradually into the solid
wood. They are about three years in
reaching maturity, when they come
out in the form of the beetle already
described Their presence in the tree
may be readily detected by the fine
sawdust like castings from the holes.
They are easily reached and killed
by clearing away the openings of
the holes with the point of knife, and
then punching them with . flexible
wire or small twig. We have never
found anything better than . small
flexible twig from which the bark has
been stripped to make it small enough
to enter the holes. The operator
knows when he reaches them by the
peculiar touch. It is better to examine
the trees often enough to find the
Larvae when they are young, and be-
fore they have penetrated far ito the
solid wood. 4 partial remedy Tor pre-

PubIIc Suicides in china.

The most barbarous OF ssIl the death
rites which have been observed in
China was that of immolating human
beings at the tombs Of Che departed
great. AS high as one hundred and
seventy-seven men have been buried
alive in the tomb of singie indiyid-
ual. This horrible custom does not
prevail at all now, OF course, but the
same false and inadequate notions OF
the sacredness Of human life do pre-
vail universally. But Of all Chinese
customs the most remarkable has been
the prevalent. public, Fashionable sui
cides, conducted in public with every
show of pomp. and sometimes actually
under the general direction of a man.
DARN. A gay procession would be
formed, and delighted throng would
follow the prospective victim TO a
scaffold which had been erected with
great care. The seats commanding
the best view of the sacrifice would be
sold, and there would be grand turn
out of the suiciding party's friends, as
well as of the public at large. Per-
haps it would be a young widow, who
had resolved to end her miserable
existence on account of the death of
her husband, widow not being
privileged to remarry in China The
occasion would be treated rs a regular
holiday by the natives. For time
the woman would chat pleasantly with
her friends, partaking of bountiful
feast with them on the gallcws. Then,
having caressed q little child that was
placed upon the table before her. and
adorned it with necklace. she would
take basket of flowers and scatter
the blossoms gayly among the crowd,
after which she would cheerfully place
her head in the moose and swing off
into eternity. As rule. suicides are
now performed without such publicity
but they are very common:

The BEST weIxhs for marlkst PIGS.
The style of market zig has under
gone a great change vi hin . few
years The large 400 or 500 pound
hog is. now seldom found. The
overgrown hog is no longer sought
after, and pig feeding has been more
carefully studied of late years. Shrewd
feeders have found that the older the
hog the more It's carcass costs per
pound. 1t is also found that the flesh
of the large hog is coarser and strong
er. and not as sweet and fine-havored
as ten or twelve months pig. It is
true, the older the over fattened hog
yields more lard, but this does not
carry profit with 1t, as lard often
brings no higher price than the side
pork. The inducement, therefore, TO
grow these large hogs no longer exists,
and the 300-pound pig has displaced
the 500-pound hog. - Lice Stock
