The New Route "a 81. Jo..nh uo

The through line from Chicago to st. Joseph No.
over the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific railway was
opened to public use on May %. The extension west
from AltamOnt from which point the main line d.
yerges from St. Joseph has been constructed with the
utmost care, aud 10 all respects compares favorably
with any Of the older portions Of the Rock Island sy
TEN. Through express trains run follows: Leave
Chlcago l2lO Pm and ii p. NJ. arrive in St. Joseph
o.l5 a. N. and 1855 p. NJ, respectively. Returning
leave st. Joseph 80 P. NJ. aud 755 4. NJ, arriving IN
Chicago at 2.35 P. NJ. aud 6,25 A. N. The passenger
equipment of these trains consisting Of day coaches
Pullman paror and sleeping cars, reclining chair cars
and dining cars, will be characterized by the same
comfort, luxury and splendor which have made the
Kansas City route Of the Rock Island so universally
popular. The new line opens upa new and indepen-

A Tollsnd county farmer suggests that We
remind farmers of the value of tarred corn
as safeguard against crows. He has used
to separate the kernels. and has never had
occasion to put up scarecrow though living
in region where the black thieves are par.
ticularly numerous. The remedy is an old
one, entirely safe and unobjsctionable, but
our correspondent assures US that he has met
many farmers who were ignorant of it. and

Prof, Maynard of the Massachusetts agri-
cultural college says that within two or three
years the attempt to prevent the female can.
ker worm moth from ascending the trees,
has been abandoned in many places. He
recommends the use of Pyrethrum or Per
sian insect powder to destroy the young lar
vac at this season of the year. 1t should be
mixed with water aud the trees thoroughly
sprayed with the mixture. 1t is as effective
as Paris green and perfectly harmless to man
and animals. The more mature Larvae will
attempt to crawl back to the tree, but a
single application of the band of ink is suf-
icient to capture and destroy them.

A correspondent Of the American Cultiva-
tor, writing upon the cause and cure Of the
potato rot, says
"There is little doubt that the theory that
the mischief arises from the insect or spores
which microscopic examination has shown to
exists on the leaves and stems Of the plant
and which in a wet time descends to the sur
face of the tubers and affects them, is the
true solution OF the difficulty, and 1t is claim
ed that by heaping the earth over the tubers
to depth of four inches or over, they are
not liable to the disease II this is so, all
we have to do is to plant in rows instead
of hills, and when the time approaches that
the earth should be heaped over them, COW
err to a depth of four inches or more.
The remedy suggested is easy of applica-
ton, and we hope that some Of our Windham
county farmers will experiment in the matter
this season and report results
