Active brains and brown hands sci.

There is large class in favor oil

There have been 7,272 hotels de.

Eight cars, or 1890 pounds, OF

This is the heaviest butter shipment
ever known.
"A liberal education" said Edward
Everett, consists in being able to

write correctly spelled letter." And
yet that would not meet the notions of
the advocates of civil service rules.
Nature regulates the quantity of salt

extortion is defended on the ground
that it is right to reward genius.

Notes on Insecticides.
BY CLARENCE NJ. WEED.

BY CLARENCE NJ. WEED.
At the recent NEE ing of the Mich.
gan Horticultural Society, the follow
ing notes Oh insects and insecticides
we're cleaned for the readers of the
Prairie Farmer:
CURRANT WoRMs.-Several men,
bers stated that they had subdued this
insect by spriakling hellebore IN the
lower part Of the bush in May. soon
after the eggs are laid. The operation
is repeated few weeks later for the
second brood. This kills them before
they do any appreciable damage. Py-
rethrum will also kill. but it must be
applied Immediately on the worms.
Picking the lower leaves which have
the young worms on them, was also
recommended.
STRIPED BEETLEs.-Prof. w. w.
Tracy said that he had kept these pests
at bay BY busting ground tobacco
stems over and around the young
plants although the beetles were moi
wholly driven of, there were no,
enough left to do any serious damage.
The stems can be obtained very cheap.
ly at the large tobacco factories, and
act as fertilizer besides preventing
insect depredations.
WIRE WoRMs.-Prof. Tracy also
stated that he had successfully Tough,
these pests by the potato remedy SC
much used in England. Potatoe:
we're buried a few feet apart and few
inches deep in tine infested melon and
cucumber patches, and when examin.
ed often contained a dozen of the
worms. They were usually only par
way IN the potato, so that they could
be easily removed and destroyed. bu
occasionally they were in so far as tc
necessltate cutting out with knife
Potatoes used as bait in this way soor
rotted, probably because of the acces!
of air through the holes bored by TIT
worms.
CABBAGE FLIEs.-Secretary Garfield
stated that this pest had almost ruinet
cabbage production in the vicinity o
Grand Rapids, as also, according t.
Prot. Tracy. was the case about De
troit. In the latter instance the esti
mated loss was $4,000. Bisulphid
of carbon is said not to destoy thes
pests on clay ground. Kerosene an,
soap mixtures have been successful
used In several cases. although tn
kind of soil has not been reported.
CABBAGE WokMs.-Prof. Cook re
commended the kerosene emulsion 70
these insects. In recent papers no
water has been frequently advocated t
destroy cabbage worms, but Pro-
Forbes has found that water cannot b
applied hot enough to kill the worm
without at the same time injunng tn
plants. A neighbor of the writer's
who has large field of cabbage, ha
sent his hired boy out with a butterf
net for about an hour each day t
catch the white butterflies since the,
have appeared. At first fifty O
sixty were caught each day, bu
later they became much scarcer. Thi
combined with occasional picking {
the worms, has kept the cabbage
nearly free from their ravages.-

Mushroom Growing.

tits not little singular that some of
our vegetable-growers do not 60 INTO
the culture of the mushroom on an ex-
tended scale for market. With a con.
slant supply which would NOT be very
difficult to bring about, the hotels and
private families would be found regular
customers, at remunerative prices. To
make this sure the supply should be
abundant. 1t is always more difficult
to find market for small quantity
of any thing of this sort, than where
the supply is sure and large. There
would be no necessity to build places
on purpose, as mushrooms may be
grown under the stage of greenhouses,
in cellars, and, at certain times of the
year, in out-houses. sheds, etc. We
once knew an amateur in this city to
grow them in his barn and in a shed,
out of doors, in old tin cans. In short
they may be grown in all sorts of
places-the principal thing is to start
right.
The material to use is horse drop
pings. Collect and save in a dry place
until enough is obtained for the pur.
pose. Let it lie long enough to fer.
ment so as to take off the rankness.
Then spread sufficient of it to form a
bed one foot to fifteen inches deep.
This Is to be patted down so as to be
quite solid, using enough water, if the
droppings are dry, to moisten thor
oughly When the temperature has
begun to rise, which may be found by
inserting a trying stick, the bed is
ready for spawning"
AS some may not understand this
term. We may say that the bed is i'm
pregnated with an article In which the
spawn is dormant. This may some
times be obtained from an old mush.
room-bed, but is more often from an
article called mushroom spawn" sold
by seedsmen and in the form of bricks.
These bricks are broken into pieces,
about an inch in diameter, and the
bed regularly set with them, about
nine inches apart. A couple of inches
ofloamy SOIL Is put on the bed, we'll
watered and patted down firm with the
spade. Nothing further is necessary
than to spread over covering of hay
thinly, to prevent drying too fast, and
to water ifdryness of soil is indicated.
In short time the spawn viii run all
through the bed, and in a month or
six weeks, if the spaxn is good, the
crop will begin to make its appearance.
