A correspondent OF the Husbands
man says that sulphur is a preven-
tive of potato rot. and this is confirm
ed by the experience of q Vermont
farmer, who rolled his cut potatoes in
fineI sulphur at planting and busted
the plants as they appeared above the
ground. Neither rot. worm nor insect
touched them. though potatoes on
'neighboring farms were badly dam.

and the crop yielded we'll.
30 much has be- u esid and written
about the caterpillar worms and com.
paratively 80 little has been done
some persons being utterly Indifferent
about the situation-that 80 far the
destructive pests hsve had pretty
much their own way, in destroying
the foliage OF our city orchards.
There, however. remains one more
opportunity to successfully battle
with tee enemy, before the germs OF
next years army Of invaders are
deposited away, and that ia to en-.
deavor to destroy the moths that they
will shortly turn into. II each
orchard owner will at once obtain one
or more old barrels. minus the heads,
and Rave on band quantity of fresh
gas-tsr wherewith to smear the inside
OF the empty barrels, when the proper
time arrives he can set them at mig bit
time in the orchard and place light

by renewing the smesring OF tar
wherever necessary. How many will
do this? Prevention is better than
cure.
Two weeks ago we briefly mention.
ed some OF the advantages etc.. Of
bathing in fresh and salt water. Now
We will refer to another kind of bath
which ia equally as important and
beneficial in lts results on the human
system. We refer to the sun.bath.
Its potent influences were we'll under
stood and taken advantage OF by the
Romans and other nations of sntiqui
~. History records this information
and incidentally tell us that Pliny "a
short time previous to the destruction
of Pompeil) chad just returned from
taking the benefit of the sun, and after
q cold bath, and slight repast. had
retired to his study" In ancient
Rome suitable apartments were pro.
vijed, where persons could anoint
themselves, and lie or walk in the
apartments, with their naked bodies
to the direct rays of the sun.
That sunlight has great influence on
life, ia easily demonstrated. it being
only necessary to think of and OBJ
serve its action on plants and animals.
What would become of our beautiful
flora il Invested of the direct rays of
the sun? Have you not observed the
domestic cat or dog, and other
familiar animals, regularly take their
sun-bath? The action of soIsr light
not only tans the skin, but also makes
it thicker and better able to resist ex-
posture. The complexion may be
injured, but the gain in health more
than compensates for the loss OF
beauty. Modern usages are directly
to this. The women are the
greatest sufferers from the civilized
ideas ~ OF present socie.y. Many
women are martyrs. and yet they do
not know it. They shut the sunshine
out OF their houses and their hearts,
they wear veiis, they carry parasols.
they do all possible to keep off the
subtlest and yet the most potent inv
duence which is intended to give
them strength and beauty and cheer
fulness. How many ailing and sick-
ly humans. of both sexes are suffer-
Ing from the lack of ability to sleep
sonndly and therefore cannot obtain
that refreshing rest 80 necessary to
continued health and happiness.

poor sleepers should pass as many
hours as possible in the sunshine,
and as few as possible in the shade.
