when the bugs began operations He
got nd of potatoes and bugs together at
one blow. Others have unintentionaily
done the same thing by over-large doses
of Paris green. If the poison is pure
very little of it is enough to burn the
vines as if fire had passed over them.
There is much difference in Paris green.
Some dealers seems to understand the
popular tendency of farmers to use it too
strong, and therefore they adulterate it
so as to guard against this danger, and
to add to their own profit.
The result altogether is that the
average of potatoes, between the bugs
and the poison used to destroy them,
Is not as good as it was before the bug
era. Possibly this is for the best. We
as people were perhaps learning to live
too much on potatoes for our good, just
as the Irish used to before the potato rot
and the famine. They are a farinaceous
food, and therefore not the best adapted
for giving strength and vigor. We use
a great many potatoes, poor as they
often are. If they were always mealy,
white and fine grained, should we not
use many more than we do2 Yet
possibly the poorer quality of potatoes,
being less farinaceous, must be really the
best food. There are occasionally per-
sons with taste SO perverse that they
prefer moist, soggy potato to one dry
and mealy. Still, according to the
general liking, the better foliage potato
has the better it's quality and greater its
yield. 1t is, therefore, likely that few or
none will purposely allow their potatoes
to become defoliated when it is possible
to prevent it.-Inter- Ocean.

Applying Manure in Winter.

II the soil Is properly prepared manure
may be applied to advantage at any time
of the year, so that it does not interfere
with other more pressing work. If land
is ploughed in the fall for corn, in no
way can manure be more advantageously
applied than by hauling it out in the
winter and scattering it over the
plOughed ground direct from the wagon,
the whole to remain so until the follow
ing spring, when, by running the har
row over it, it will not only thoroughly
intermiX the manure with the surface
soil "a matter of the greatest moment),
but place the latter in the best possible
condition for checking off preparatory to
planting. But the greltest advantage of
this mode of applying manure for corn is
that the fertilizing properties of the
manure become completely absorbed by
the surface soil, and is in its most solu-
BILE condition to be appropriated as soon
as needed by the feeder rootlets of the
young corn, giving it a most healthy and
rapid growth in the start. Not only SO,
but by scattering it direct from the
wagon the work is not only done quicker,
but the manure is more evenly distributed
over the field than if thrown in heaps to
be hand scattered in the spring. By
scattering it direct from the wagon the
work, too, is all done at once; whereas,
if thrown into heaps to remain so until
spring a considerable portion of its
properties is either washed away by rains
or sinks into the ground, leaving spots
where the heaps stood too highly
MANFRED for the balance of the field,
thereby occasioning loss in the general
yield of the crop.
Another thing, in hauling out manure
over ploughed ground in winter much
unnecessary labor to the horses, as well
as wear and tear Of the wagon, particu
larly when the ground is more or less
frozen, may be avoided by hauling it the
way the burrows run instead of across
them. Nor should it be attempted to
scatter the manure over too large sur
face. Like all other work on the farm,
what is worth doing at all is worth doing
we'll, and it is more profitable to manure
five acres we'll than to half manure ten
acres, the labor of cultivating the latter
being doubly that of the former and the
Weld about the same. The work of
making and applying manure is certainly
the most important that can engage the
attention of the farmer, and he should
see to it that in the application none of
it is lost, and that the land on which it
is applied is all benefited alike. And
then, with thoroughly prepared soil,
carefully selected seed and thorough
cultivation, he may rest easy about the
yield. Baltimore Sun.

Hints on Floral Culture.

Dispute it who may, no place is fin
ished without its border of trees and
shrubs, whether in their spring bloom
and beauty, or as in the evergreens, lux
uriant in their perennial verdure. BY
their employment we can, not only have
beaut full surroundings, but shut out an
unpleasant feature in thu landscape or
extend desirable view.
A great many careful gardeners under
the impression that the hardy Holland
bulbs need winter protection, put on
heavy mulch in autumn and remove
early in spring when the tender shoots
which are then springing up need it
most. If any mulch is applied let it be
thin coat of we'll rotted manure that
can be allowed to remain.
Study your plants. Notice their drink
ing habits. You Will soon find out
which needs the most water. You will
find they will take but very little if the
day is dark; if it is pleasant they will
require more. Especially the first part
are short and often cloudy. The plants
have not filled the pots with roots,
therefore it is better to be on the safe
side and not give too much water.
In window gardening it should be re-
nembered that we have all degrees of
temperature at command, from freezing
to torrid. Shelves or brackets at differ
ent heights should be provided to meet
the requirements of heat needed by diff
ferent plants Coe US on the window
sill will drop its leaves and 60 to pieces:
on the top shelf it makes luxuriant
growth Other instances might be given,
but care, watchfulness and a little ex-
perimenting will soon show the window
gardener where each specimen does best.

Poultry Notes.

For lice, dust Persian insect powder
freely in every crack and crevice, and on
the bodies of the hens, in among the
feathers.
For digestion give the birds plenty of
sharp gravel, and also teaspoonful of
fenugreek, in the soft food, for every ten
hens.
About one-third of the weight of an
egg is solid nutriment. This is more
than can be said OF meat. There are no
bones and tough places that have to be
laid aside
Turn eggs twice week if they are to
be kept for future use. Eggs for hatch
ing will keep two or three weeks if turned
half over daily. They should be in a
place of moderate temperature, where
they will not freeze or be too warm.
Those who live on land where there is
no gravel or sand should haul load and
spread it about the poultry yards. The
fowls will enjoy it as much as though it
was something good to eat, and in most
cases it will do them more good. Don't
forget this, as the chickens can't talk and
don't know how to ask for what they
want.
Do not place one roost higher than the
other. When so arranged the hens Will
all crowd to the highest, leaving the low
est ones unoccupied. The better plan is
to place them all on a level of the same
height and very low. If too high the
heavy fowls will be injured in getting
on or off, as many cases of 'bumble FOOT
occur from high roosts. There is no
necessity for having the roost any higher
than simply to allow space under them
for the free circulation of air, which is
most essential to the well doing of the
flock

Potato Foliage.

Not every farmer knows that whatever
Injuries the foliage of the potato is a
direct injury to the crop. The leaves of
the vine are the feeders of the root, and
are so essential to the growth of the
tuber that whenever they are injured

harm by her own recuperative forces.

Improving the Orchard.

A correspondent who is anxious to
know how TO improve his orchard is an
swered as follows by the AmertcGn Guilt
Gator: The orchard in question, as
stated by our correspondent, is some
what run down in fertility, and he wishes
to know the best manurial elements to
use in reviving it. He believes with
proper treatment that, although now only
fairly productive, it can be made doubly
50 without injury to trees.
Our correspondent ia Is to state
whether the orchard in question is an
apple, peach or pear orchard, or whether
the trees are far enough apart to Guilt
vate between the rows. If an apple
orchard, and the trees are large, it will
not be best to run plough very near
them; but if the trees are from two to
three rods apart, a strip may be ploughed
between each row and planted to some
hoed crop, which should be heavily
dressed with compost, made largely of
good stable manure.
The space immediately around the
trees not touched by the plough should
be literally top dressed with well rotted
manure and unleached wood ashes.
There is probably nothing better for
orchards of any kind of fruit than hard
wood ashes. They should be spread
broadcast beneath the trees over a space
extending several feet from the trunk of
the tree, instead of placing them directly
around the base, as is sometimes done.
If it is not desirable or convenient to
cultivate any portion Of the orchard it
can be renovated by liberal top dress
ing of we'll rOtted stable manure. A
mulch of refuse hay placed around the
bodies Of the trees will be found bene
fetal, provided they are so large and the
bark so thick that mice will not girdle
them. Pasturing orchards with hogs is
an excellent method of improving their
fertility There is another advantage in
pasturing with hogs, as in addition to
enriching the soil they pick up the wind
falls and destroy the worms, which cause
a great loss of fruit every year.
