The Equal of the Best Boston Families.

A correspondent OF the Albany Journal
writes: A very bright young lady who has
been living in Boston several winters was in
Natural History rooms. All the Harvard
profe sors and scientific people were present,
ana after the GLACIERS" a paper on Paleo-
zoic insects was read by 5. II. Seudder, OF
Cambridge. Mr.. Scudder is an enthusiastic
entomologHst, and he rushed through long
list of scientific teehnicaties. describing the
difference between the Paieozoic insects and
the meets OF the present day. their gradual
evohlhons fEom period to period ana ended
by stating that cockroaches were the only in
seets which remained unchanged and as pr-
marlly created. In fact, they were the oldest
speeies Of insects known to man. When Mr..
Scudder soncluded Harvard professor
smllingly asked this young lady how she had
enjoyed the lecture. 80, very much" was
the response. II don't understand much about
bugs, but il Is very interesting to know that
cockroaches are almost as old as some Of our
best Boston families -

The decision Of Attorney General

savings banks Of that State cannot invest

no harm, nor will 1t be likely 10 injure Mr..
Wolfe, who purchased the whole issue
at 1-16 premium. As the decision will
hardly injure any one, aud slightly
pleases Henry Clews a. Co., there
is no reason TO make any great complaint
about IL. II is, perhaps, too much TO ex-
pect that all OF those who have never wit
messed the evils Of Republican rule in the
South to fully appreciate the circum-
stances under which the State refused 10

much difference whether the New

FOR rnHUARm An p.nUMH.



There wasssome excuse' when the
country was new and the first land
cleared was planted with fruit trees,
for training tree tops higla. 50 as to be
out ofthe way Of tile hors es in plough
ing or to grow crops UNDER them. But
we have long since learned that no
crops grown under trees. pay their
cost It would be better stiH if teams
could not get within ten feet Of the
trunks, and weeds or grass beneath
them were kept down by mulching.
Low tops are more convenient for
gathering fruit, and are less liable to
be blown off by severe winds. A low
top is easily kept in proper shape, as
it is not necessary to procure high lad
ders to do the required pruning. Low
tops also protect the trunk from in
jury by exposure to sudden variations
in temperature. They are peculiarly
valuable in regions Of severe frost, as
they protect the stem and branches
from the rays of the sun, which melt
the frost in the tree to suddenly.

Homogeneous Firm Arenuo,

The people who live side by side in
the pretentious avenue know each 9TH
er not says a New York letter.
Knickerbocker and parvenu, the
inheritor of wealth and the archi-
tect of his own fortune, the genuine
gentleman and the vulgar snob, reside
in the same block. One house is visi-
ted by the best and most distinguish
ed; the house adjoining by men who
talk loud in suicidal syntax, and women
who wear holly-hocks in their hair,
and yellow dresses with pink trim
mings. Here dwells an author whose
works give him large income; over
the way, fellow who has a genius for
money-getting, but who cannot solve
the mysteries of spelling. Some of the
most spacious and expensive mansions
on the avenue always have a deserted
look. Only the occupants and SER
wants appear on the high, carved
stoOps; only the carriages the masters
of the establishment owns stop before
the door. That family purchased a
house in the avenue, but society has
not accepted its members. They have
but a new fortune to recon-
mend them. They must bide their
time. The FIRST generation of the I'M
fares hard. The second is
and the third claims lineage
PIRATES of 'gentility" and frowns up
On what its grandparents were. To
get into the avenue and into its socie-
y are different things. They who
struggle to enter certain circles are

mt to mere fashion are in request; for
lot to seek, socially, is usually to be

We are asked the value of butter
milk for swine and calves, and why it
is not considered as safe to feed with
out any additional food, as SKINNED
milk. Buttermilk, if in good condi-
tiiOn, has a value very similar to
skinned milk. 1t is slightly richer in
fat, having l per cent, and slightly
less albuminoid matter. 1t is figured
at twenty-five cents per 100 pounds.
It will produce a rapid growth on
calves and pigs, if it does not derange
the stomach. But buttermilk is apt
to be in a strong condition of fermen-
tation. This very soon produces a bad
form of scours, which, unless taken
quickly, may end fatally, It is hardly
safe to feed buttermilk without mix
ing one-half pound of finished mid
dlings (what farmers call "canel'') per
gallon of buttermilk. If it is quite
sour it should be boiled with the mid
dlings. The heat will neutralize the
acidity, but it will not be as valuable
as before fermentation has eaten up
some of the food elements. We often
recommend keeping a little hax-seed
on hand for use in checking scours,
and it will be most useful here. Boil
one quart Of flax-seed in six quarts of
water. This will become like jelly.
Stir little of this boiled hax.seed into |
the ration of each calf, or into that for
several calves or pigs. The emollient
effect of this is very soothing to the
stomach. Feeders should not consider
a few bushels of flax-seed as adding to
for It is worth all it costs,
fed in small quantities, as promoting
rapid growth. We always use this
instead of linseed oil, for there is dam
ger Of getting impure oil, but the seed
can be relied upon.-Nationa5 Lice

The value Of Orchard ,iress.

Orchard grass, or cocks-foot, is one
of the most valuable Of grasses for
many farms. Hiram Sibley, Roches-
ter, N. Y, in his "Grain and Farm
Manual" says:
"1f it were better understood we
think it would be more frequently
sown. The seed is usually sOwn in
the chat, and it costs considerable to
sow an acre. Two bushels to the acre
is usually sown if used alone. 1t is
very sensitive to good or bad treat
ment. 1t is emphatically a grass for
strong, rich land, where it yields a
heavy crop. The grass comes up we'll
and early, makes a good, strong plant
which grows in tufts or punches. 1t
looks triae coarse, but is tender and
palatable. 1t will not spread and
makes a handsome turf. 1t is one of
the very first to make good 'bite' in
spring, or after it has been closely fed
OF moved OIL. The plants flower quite
early-abOut the same time as red
clover. If cut while in flower or very
soon after, it makes frst-rate hay. It
suffers as much by going beyond this
period as any grass with which we are
acquainted. Ripe orchard grass makes
a very poor hay. We think here is
where many fail in its management.
They are not ready to cut it as soon as
it should be cut Orchard grass makes
excellent permanent pasture in many |
places. In other places it is soon
out by June grass or other
grasses. 1t is not a troublesome grass
to kill by ploughing, as is often the
case with June grass or .Quack grass.
It IS by all means worth trying by ev-
cry farmer in the Northern states. It
in the dry climate of Kansas,
sndures drought and yields abundant
y; it succeeds in New England and
IN the highlands of the South"

Kerosens as an InseetlcIde.

Kerosene and crude petroleum are
gaining favor among fruit growers as
excellent and cheap insecticides. Ell
ther the crude or the refined oil may
be used, but in all cases it should be
employed in an emulsion made with
soap and water. The proper proper
ton of the material is: Kerosene, two
gallons; common soap.sOne-half pound,
and water, one gallon: The soap and
water should be boiling hot and the
kerosene added; then churn the mix
ture until it forms an emulsion of
about the consistency of cream.
When it is applied to the infested
plants, dilute with cold water, varying
the strength according to the species
of insects tO'be destroyed. The soft
skinned species, like the mealy bugs
and aphides, will be destroyed by us
ing one part of the emulsion to TWEEN
ty or thirty parts Of water; but when
it is applied to the bark lice or scale
insect, it may be diluted about ten to
fifteen times. kerosene emulsions are
the best known insecticides for the
various minute pests Affecting the or
ange and lemon.-Nes0 York Sun.

His Horse was Tired.

The experience of the sunstroke SOL
diers of the Second Brigade a week ago
reminds a reader of his experience as a
raw volunteer at the breaking out of the
war. With a number Of three months
men his regiment had been marching
under so hot a sun, over so dusty roads
and for so many hours, that even the
toughest veterans might have been ex-
cused for growing. At last, when it
seemed as if endurance was positively at
an end, the commanding officer cantered
gayly up on a milk-white steed and said
Colonel, think we might halt and 90
into camp as soon as we reach a suitable
spot. My horse is tired!" After that,
when it seemed to the boys that their
commander was marching them I'M
reasonably hard and long, there was
sure to come voice from somewhere in
the ranks, asking: isn't that horse
getting tired?" This officer was gen
tleman and humane and a kind-hearted
man, but he had had no experience in
the ranks, and he didn't think"
