4 New Remedy for the imported Cab
bage Norm,

Professor c. V Riley says: "One
ofmy correspondents, Mr.. Charles H.
Erwin, of Painted Post, N. Y. has &C
cidentally hit upon SO simple and yet,
according to his ex )erience, so perfect
a remedy for the imported cabbage
worm that | wish to give his exper.
fence as much publicity as possible,
that it may be widely tested and, If
possible, verified the coming season.
1t is, to sum up an extended exper-
fence which he narrates, simply ice
cold water, or water but few degrees
warmer that ice water, sprinkled upon
the worms during the heat of the day.
MIR. Erwin found that such an applica-
ton in the hot sun caused them to
quickly let go their hold upon the
leaves, curl up, roll to the ground, and
die, while the cabbages suffered moth.
ing. but looked all the fresher for the
application.
Should this method prove as sue
cessful with others as If has with him,
1t is evident that we have here a
remedy of very general application,
and one which in cheapDess and SIM
plicity far transcends the PyIethrum
which, since discovered for the pur-
pose, in 1880, has been, on the whole.
our safest and most satisfactory reme-
dy against Piers rapae. Where ice is
readily obtainable, as in the more
Northern States, or where cold springs
obtain, Mr.. Erwin's discovery will
probably prove just as useful against
some OF the other cabbage worms -

CREAM ToAsT.-Drop a piece of
butter the size of an egg into the
saucepan, with a teacup or more of
boiling water. Salt it, and after the
bread is toasted golden brown on
each side, dip each slice into 1t and
lay them on a dish for the table.
Have ready some boiling milk, thick
ened with arrow-root, corn starch, OF
flour. and pour over - whole as it
goes TO the table. This a. great i'm
provement on ths old way OF making
cream toast.
BREAD PUDDINGs.-These may be
delicious or otherwise, just as they are
prepared. Usually they are too stiff
with bread. For a good-sized pudding
dish, two small cups of bread. crumbs
are sufficient. Sprinkle over them
bits of butter, and either raisin, cur.
ranls or chopped figs; fill the dish
with milk and lei il stand two or three
hours, then add three eggs beaten
very hight. and pinch of salt,
and bake only until the custard is
well set. If baked too long, it will be
be watery and spoiled

Home and Farm,
cultivation OF Oats

New varieties of oats are constantly
introduced. They have run of popu-
larity for few years, and some other
candidate takes their place. The truth
of the matter is: oats grown IN north
ern localities are better than those
grown farther south. The true plan,
no matter what variety you select, is
to get the oats from as far north as
convenient, and renew the seed every
two or three years. Oats differ from
barley in doing we'll on sod land-or
on almost any iand, from black muck
to the heaviest clay. Oats are grown
SO easily that they are not appreciated
They are profitable and useful crop.
The straw is good, and the grain al
ways in demand IN mark ct, and always
wanted at home. No far mer ever has
more oats than he knows what to do
with. r, ally good, heavy oats, how
ever, are scarce. Many of ouI oats
are disgrace to US. This is not be-
cause the variety In itself is poor
one. but because We grow it too long
with out change of seed, and have ia
ken no pains IN selecting and prepair-
ing the land for the crop. Late sowing
makes light oats. Early sowing, with
other things favorable, means heavy
oats and a good yield. We like to sow
oats on land plowed the fall previous.
Sow as early in the spring as the frost
IS out OF the ground, drilled or broad
casted as most convenient, not less
than two BUSHES of seed per acre. But
as We have said before, oats are fire.
quently sown on sod land plowed In
the spring and sown on the furrows.
An implement that will work the surf.
ace soil without disturbing the sod, Is
what is wanted to prepair the land and
cover the seed, if sown broadcast. If
drilled in, we like to follow with
fine-toothed harrow, and work the
surface OF the soil as thin as possible.
But do not delay Get in the seed and
work the land afterwards or not, as the
season and other work will permit
