TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE

The Tomato Worm.

This insect is familiar to every farmers
boy, and is common depreda'or in the
garden. Its lifc-history is soon told :;
The large gray hawk-moth lknoWn TO
the entomologists as Ph!cgcthonthius
celeus) flies just at dusk, and lays Its
eggs on the tomato leaves. In short
time the eggs hatch into the common
green worms with spine on the hind
end of the back. In few weeks these
worms or caterpillars become full grown,
and going into the ground, pack the
earth smoothly about them, so as 70
make snug cavity, in which they change
to the quiescent chrysalid or the pnpa
state. In due time they again emerge
as large brown moths. HanI,picklnS
Of the worms is most effective remedy
for garden patches. AS their work IS
conspicuous, it is usually easy to find
the worms. An excellent method OF
killing the moths is to place mo'asses
mixed with stale beer, TO which has been
added little fly poison, on fiat boards IN
various parts of the garden. The moths
drink the liquid and are killed. .-P'a'r'6

Sheen Raising.

A farmer writes to the " isc0ns1n Igri-
cul'nr;st as follows: On cry farm where,
what we may term mixed farming is car,
red on, variety Of crops raised and
different kinds of stock kept with the
view of feeding, out upon the farm, as
much of toe products of the farm as
possible it is An item to keep few sheep.
Just how many should be or can be
kept, will of course drpcnd upon cir
cumstances. But many farmers will lind
that few can be made to increase the
profit, and in many cases will consume
what in most eases would otherwise 60
to waste. AS it is what we can and do
save thus adds to our wealth. Sheep can
be regarded as something that will aid
us to save. Their products, the wool,
and the lambs can, if desired, be mar
kcted in the spring at time when the
average farmer has usually but few pro-
ducts to market. A cheap shelter is all
that is needed during winter weather,
and if this is made reasonably warm,
and kept dry. very little grain will be
necessary. Like all other stock, it
pays to keep sheep in a good thrifty
condition. And during the winter
some grain will be found necessary: but
if p enty of hay or good fodder is sup
piled the amount of grain needed will be
found TO be small. II the hay or fodder
is run through a cutter and bran mixed
with it, there need be but little grain fed.
During the summer they need but very
little attention, if they can have the run
of a good pasture and have plenty OF
water convenient.
In many respects they consume what
the rest of the stock leave in the pas
lures, and during the winter they can be
kept on roughings, principally, rather
than gram. and by planning ahead q
large supply can be secured at small ex-
pense. A nice flock of sheep upon the
farm may be considered in much the same
light as the poultry. A great part OF their
living they will pick up, while what we
are oh! ;ged to feed them during the win
ter is small item as regards the per cent.
of profit that may be Secured.
Of course, even with them it pays to
use reasonable caution to keep them in
good condition economically; but q
good shelter and feeding hut can be
provided and the manure we can secure
will pay well for the trouble Of feeding.
are should I've t,'ken to keep reasonably
young stecis, and large proportion
should be ewes, so that in addition TO
their wool the increase may be secured.
With anything like ordinary care
either the wool or the increase should
be of sufficient value to pay for the
cost, leaving the other for proit.
In this way they can be made as prof
liable AS any other stock upon the farm
so that instead of selling the grain or
other products, they are fed out to stock,
not only increas ng the profit but also
aiding, very materially, to increase the
fertility of the soil.

this alone would Justify the necessary
ventilation. But tine dairyman, more
than the beef grower, loses by foul air IN

vcn:en and occasions an expense OF Ia
Dor. not to do SO; ana the foNl gases IN
the stable will begin the contamination

The absorptive power of milk is almost
surprising, and if exposed for ony a
shcrt time, to the matters that must exist
in an unventlatcd shelter, the best but
ter cannot bc made from it. The loss to
the daryman is generally more than he
inagines.
If the dairymau also rears his own
COWS there is further reason for Ventlla-
ton. The poisoned blood of the COW is
the blood of the f,rtus. The COW con-
fined in a foul shelter cannot drop
vigorous, thrifty calf.
For the same reason that he has an un-
usal inlere.t in ventilation, the dairyman
has an nnusal interest in light in the COW
stable. Light is as essential to the
health and thrift of COWS, as it Is to the
health and thrift of nearly every one OF
the higher animals. But. besides this,
sunlight is an important agent in purl-
fying the stable. Filth and foul gases
breed in darkness; sunlight is their foe.
The more light admitted into the stable
the less dampness and contamination.

What the Scientific World Wants te
Know.-A 100000 Offer.


Know.-A 100000 Offer.
We have published in our columns from
time to time different advertisements In re-
gard to Bright's Disease and its cures.
What Is this terrible disease3
We have taken the trouble to make an In
vestigation from the hest sources, and We
give the results to our readers.
What astonishes us Is the general lndlifer'
once given to kidney disorders. The kidneys
do not sound the alarm Of their diseased coH-
dition, OWING to the fact that they have very
few nerves, hence few suspect that there ls
any disease in them. Irritation, infanna-
tion liberation set in. and then the little
tubes, Of which the kidneys are full, are de-
stroyed and thrown off, and from this fact
are called tube casts.
Assoon as this begins to take place 1t is only
a question of how fast decomposition goes on
before the disease results fatally. II the
proper remedies are taken before final de-
composition or waste Of these tubes COM
mences or becomes too far advanced, that Is
the only and last chance for relief. 1t is at this
point or before that Warmers safe cure
proves 10 beneficial, and may cure or stop the
wasting away Of the kidneys II 1t has not ad-
vanced too far
The most remarkable thing of all our in
vestigation is the fact that the patient with
Brights disease has no exclusive symptoms,
but has the symptoms OF every common
disease.
First he may possibly feel . dull pain in
his back, generally upon one side, which does
not debar him from his usual business rou.
tine After time he may begin to feel
neuralgia palms, or have a slight attack OF
what he may call rheumatism, or headache,
with high or dark colored urine, with an un-
pleasant sensation in its passage, and after
standing showing an unnatural condition.
Later on, come tired feelings, loss of ambi-
tion or vigor, or loss Of or failing eyesght,
which Is very common, with distressed con-
dition Of the stomach. ANY one OF these
symptoms is liable to occur
This no doubt explains why the proprietors
of Warmers safe cure are curing so many dis
cases. By regulating and building up the
kidneys, symptoms of general ill-health dis
appear. They justly accuse the medical pro-
fession OF treating the effects and not the
cause. Finally il this disorder is neglected
the patient either dies Of appoplexy, pneu-
nnonia, heart disease, blood poisoning. con-
sumption, or any other disease that the sys-
tenn is most subject to.
There appears to be some ono cause for
nearly every other ailment of the human
system, but up to the present time no one has
been able to fully account for this terrible
malady. We understand that the people Of
Germany have become aware Of its fearful
fatality, and have offered 100000 marks

explain the cause.

Mana cement of Fruit Trees.

The careful management of young fruit
trees is now matter for consideration.
Newly planted trees should be made firm
by treading down the unsettled soil
about the stems, stalking them if ncces'
sary, and, above all things, by protecting
them from damage by mice, rabbits, and
by sunsrald. there are several Ways OF
thus protecting young trees; but, after
several years trials of many methods, we
have settled down to the plan of wrap
ping newspaper about the stem from
the ground upward and tying in four or
five places with twine. This reHeis yer
min, reflects the suns hrat, and protects
from intense fro,t, following warm
midday hour. Ii left remaining through
the Summer it protects the trees from
borers, keeps the bark clean and smooth
and healthy. The oId-fashloned way OF
whitewashing fruit trees had its valuable
uses in these several ways, and was quite
effective. But it was ridiculed and
laughed down by the aesthetic philoso-
pliers and their disciples as an ignorant
New England fashion, and many an Or
ehard has gone to ruin in consequence.
It is good practice which might be re-
vived, as it is protection against the
above evils, and several Others TO which

Horse Shoeing,


William H. Yeomans says in the Mn
yor aud Fumer 1t is an old and fully
acknowledged saying, that, mo feet.
no horsess' or as it might be stated in
other language, no matter how perfect OF
sound horse may be in other respects,
# he is defect We or unsound in the feet
he is practically valuee<s.
In this connection there is another
matter to be considered, and that is, that
feet that are sound upon horse may be
rendered unsound not by the rclcss-
ness and ne elect of the owner or keeper
wholly, but by improper and detective
shoeing. If thctrulh could be arrived
at in the matterthere is little doubt but
that large proportion Of those who at
tend to the shoeing Of horses really do
not know very much about the actual
bony structure OF the foot, or TO su h
degree as to be able to remedy listing
or threatening troubles 10 it. 1t is rarely
the case that country smith upon whom
dependence is placed for shoeing under
stands anything about the anatomy of
the horses foot. Because OF this lack OF
knowledge The shoeing may be so done
ss to create Iamencss, and from continu-
ance of the cause disease of the foot may
be produced and ultimately the horse is
ruined. But if the foot is fully under
stood, for trivial lamcncss the shoe, by
being properly set. may relieve it and
finally cuIe The trouble.
We have frequently heard it claimed
that family action in the horse could be
to a great extent corrected, but we never
realized the same to the cAteut We have
since reading that valuable work by Pro
fessor George +. Rich entitled artistic
Horse -shoeing." The author began TO
shoe horses when eleven years old, and
having been in constant practice since
then, has formed mo. than fifty different
kinds of shoes, all for Specihc purpose,
adapted 10 different conditions OF the
foot, curing some diseases or ing
some faults of the gait. He succeeds N
accomplishing, in treating horses injured
BY bad shoe'ng, what ordinary black
smiths regard as wonders. For the good
of these patient and faithful animals
shoers should instruct themselves in the
matter of setting shoes scientifically as
we'll as artIstically, so that the noble
horse may not be injured or ruined.
