of soreheads and blockheads." Such a
saying was not uttered by Mr.. Weiss,
but when speaking of the solution of the
liquor question and the prohibition OF
the manufacture and sale of all intoXi-
cants, he said, that on account of the
existence of soreheads and blockheads
and extremists in the different political
parties, the work of eradicating the
evils OF intemperance would, instead OF
proving a success and bringing to pass
complete victory, simply retard the
progress Of the good work.

White. " They are both large and
handsomely formed. The latter we
have had in fruit for several years, and
we find no apple more acceptable to
visitors at this season. 1t is round
apple with whitish-green ground
color, shading to yellow, and striped on
one side with pale rosy-pink. The flesh
is fine-grained, soft, mild sub-acid in
flavor, very sprightly and delicate, yet
not wanting in richness. What we
never noticed in any other apple is that
the flesh is often tinged nearly to the
core with pink, and this not only or
chiefly on the colored side, but all
around.
The " Autumn Streaked " is an apple
of the government importation of 1870
(No. 964), but was supposed to be lost,
so that Mr.. Glib in his researches could
get no track of it, But we lately re-
ceived specimens from Mr.. A. w. Sias,
of Rochester, Mimi, an old Vermont
err, and valued friend. II is a large and
handsome fruit, nearly round, covered
with red stripping on yellowish ground,
and is, in quality, not inferior to the
Gravenstein. 1t has the appearance of
being a first-class market apple, and is
reported by Mr.. Sas as being highly
valued in his neighborhood. 1t took
first premium in its class at the recent
Minnesota state fair. 1t should be eX-
tensively propagated and distributed,
as fine late fall apples are quite desir-
able.

Worms in the Greenhouse.

A correspondent of the american
Florist writes: In number twenty
two of the Florist | gave some little ex-
perience which | have had with ma
nure grubs and their destructveness
AS | stated then we had filled the
benches with soil in one house, had
turned over the soil in the benches four
times, and picked out all the grubs we
could see each time, but they Matched
out so fast that we had to adopt another
plan, so we turned the soil again and
picked out all manure visible. In this
way we got the soil pretty clear ofgrubs,
for it was in the manure the eggs were
laid. Now, at this time, the soil had
been in the house about five weeks, and
had become so dry from being fire.
quently worked over that what grubs
were left began to die for want of
moisture. This drying out is very eff
fective, and can be accomplished in
much less time than it took us to dis
cover it. BY keeping the house closed
and turning the soil often | think they
can be killed out in about two weeks,
providing the weather is hot as it gen
orally is in June and July, the time we
are replanting our rosehouses. From
close observation | find that both soil
and manure that has been laying since
last summer, which at that time was
just alive with grubs, is now entirely
clear of them. Certainly both have
been turned several times and the vege-
table fiber decomposed, so that now
there is no food left for the grubs.
This decomposng of the vegetable fiber
in our soil and manure / consider a
very important point to be remembered
by those troubled with grubs."
Here is a gardener who seems to
know little more about his business
than the one employed by Mr.. Pierce,
referred to in our issue of September
9th. And yet he doesn't seem to know
half so much as he ought to. We pity
the employer whose gardener knows no
other way than to pick over the soil of
his benches several times for grubs,
and then to pick out " all the manure
visiblel" Strong fermentation, care
fully watched, will kill not only all grubs
and their eggs, but all weed seeds in
manure. Compost can be made, and is
made by all gardeners who are garden
ers, which will not bring grub or a
weed into the soil of the benches. The

Cheap Lightning Rods.

A little article which recently APP
peared in these columns seems to be
attracting good deal of attention and
criticism. In it the use of barbed wire
as an electric conductor for the pro-
lection of buildings was advised. A
writer from Cornell University thus
comments, in the Rural Nec Yorker:
con page five hundred forty-five |
notice a short clipping on lightning
rods, from the VERMONT WATCHMAN,
which, it appears to me, is likely to
lead people astray. Galvanized iron is
a very good conductor of electricity,
but four-ply of it will not furnish
enough metal to conduct even a small
charge, much less large one. Where
only a small amount of iron is used, the
resistance becomes so great that the rod
becomes either intensely hot or entirely
melts, which often endangers the build
ing more than if no rod had been upon
it, A wire cable of not less than five
eighths of an inch in diameter is as
small as can be used with safety. If
copper is used instead of iron, the cost
will be somewhat increased, though the
cable need not be over half the size of
an iron one. Our lightning rods run
directly through the hay NOW and we
consider it safe because the rod is large
enough to carry off the electricity with
out even warming the rod. 1t is stapled
to the roof and has ground connection
of old copper boilers deeply buried in
the earth.''
If this writer's remark that " four-ply
of galvanized iron will not furnish
enough metal to conduct even a small
charge, much less large one," is an
example of his scientific exactitude in
the use of language, we should be dis
posed to think very little of his criticism.
He no doubt means four-ply of fence
wire, and for buildings of any great
size he is probably right. The purpose
of the article was to show how cheaply
buildings may be protected, and we
only add that even with a conductor
containing eight or more plies of barbed
wire the cost would be but trifing,
compared with the usual charge. The
grounding of the wire deeply in moist
earth, in connection with large sur
face of metal, is also of great impor-
lance, and is easily secured by the use
of old copper boilers, as suggested
above

Household Hints.

A LITTLE vinegar in water will clean
lime off of paint.
A HOT strong lemonade, taken at bed
time, will break up a bad cold.
RUB the bottom of your saucepan in
which you boil milk, with little butter
to prevent the milk from sticking.
To remove the glossy appearance
from coat collars and elbows, rub with
a cloth dipped in warm water and borax.
If gilt frames, when new, are COW
cred with coat of white varnish, all
specks can be washed off with water
without harm.
If mating, counterpanes, or bed
spreads have oil spots on them, wet
with alcohol, rub with hard soap, and
then rinse with clear, cold water.
GoD created man and woman equal
in every respect, endowing each with
the same responsibility in the perpetual
ton of the human race and its eternal
salvation. No distinction of a social or
political nature is made in the divine
law, and no avenue through which the
world might be made better should ever
have been closed against woman.
