A New Insect Destroyer.

Charles L. Sirjacques Of New Orleans,
20 tho Picau1tne. has favored US with
go about new insect destroyer, and de-
Grover of worms and bugs that prey upon
arden vegetables, field crops and fruits,
Tybich he obtained from late number of
.ho Vienna Neue Presse, which he thinks
,viI, prove highly important to farmers and
borticulturists. He says:
"Tbe agricultural department of the
Vienna Neue PresSe brings nm extraordi-
,ori,v important article which treats of a
NOW highly efficient and cheap article for
+bo destruction of damaging insects.
should this cheap and convenient article,
The discovery of which, it seems, was purely
occidental, prove efficient, it would be a
,,reat and lasting blessing, especially to
American farmers.
According to the views of tho Vienna
scientisr. these new means to battle, even
AGAINST armies Of locusts, against which
human power 80 far has been without sue
cess, may prove efficient.
"Take ~ ounces sulphate Of copper, dis
solve in warm water, when dissolved pour
ca much cold water with it as will make 4
ouarts Then slack ounces of lime and
make this quarts; mix this together which
will make gallons of the mixture for de-
stroying insects and worms, barrel of
the mixture may be kept in the garden to be
used when needed. Use a garden sprinkler
in applying the mixture to cabbages, Gu
cunlber and melon vines, etc.
Its virtues in destroying garden insects
have not been thoroughly tested.
Director Mack, in San Michele, editor of
the Tyrolese agricultural journal, makes
the important remark that the sprinkling of
fruit trees with this mixture in San
Michele caused no damage to fruit or trees,
where it was used against fusci cladium
tsoot-dew, rust Of fruit trees with best sue
cess.
+. Boscarolli, the owner Of Castle
Rametz, near Meran I'm TyroD, reports in
the Tyrol agricultural sheet that his lands
were overrun this year by vast numbers of
rrasshoppers Of many kinds in so evil a
manner that his vineyards were in danger
of being destroyed. Ia Rametz they
gnawed not only the leaves, but also the
grapes, and imperiled the harvest. Over
night the grasshoppers remained near the
grape vine stakes. 200 or 800 on a single
stake, and when the stake was crowded
they crawled under the leaves. ALI the
stakes, leaves and vines were sprinkled at
night with the copperas-lime solution. On
the vines thus sprinkled and stakes all the
grass oppers the next morning were dead.
1t appears from the facts given in the
Vienna paper, that the solution has not yet
been thoroughly tested in garden orchard
and field as destroyer of all the insect and
crawling, creeping enemies of farm crops,
but the probabilities are that it is a good
thing for the farmer, and every farmer
should next season have barrel of this So
luton in his garden, and a garden
sprinkler, and see for himself what it will
do and what it will not do-try it particu-
larly on the cabbage worm, squash and Gu
cumber bug, and worms and bugs that prey
upon the roots of vegetables near the sur
faceOf the soil

Frosty Fits.

No one who has had to do with horses
when the mercury is considerably below the
freezing point, but has witnessed their
sometimes almost frantic efforts to escape
the pain that comes of putting on the bride,
says Our Dumb animals Misunderstood
ing it many times, the brutal hostler adds
blows, and forces the animal to take be-
tween its jaws a piece of iron that freezes
its tongue and sections of its mouth the
moment it touches them, causing not only
present pain, but often liberation, and al
most always sores. The preventive is a
leaUhern bit. If this is not easily procured,
a common iron one can be covered. To do
this, cover the bit with strips of common
bride leather, and as much of the cheek
piece as will be likely to touch the flesh,
winding them around the iron while wet,
and then carefully sewing the edges so as to
make the surface smooth as possible. A
real mouth-piece can be made by any har-
nessmaker at small cost, and would be alto
geiher preferable to the covered ones, as it
can be taken from the headstall and check
rein, and replaced by the iron when cold
weather is passed, and be kept in readiness
for another winter.

Now is the time for farmers to be active
and vigilant in their efforts to secure good
supply of those manures for the use on the
next years crops.
The order in which they may be clsssed
in respect TO quantity, says the Southern
Planter, may be stated as follows; Farm
yard, stable, hogpen, ashbauks and house
Stops and poultry house. If properly han
died, their merit in respect to fertilizing
properties will be reversed in the order
named. This is intended as g mere sugges-
tive note, and we hope will be- accepted as
such. The subject is one Of such import
ance that an attempt to elaborate it would
require more capacity than we claim and
more space than we can now command.
We may, however, venture to impress these
few facts:
Manure will compensate farmer for all
the labor and care he may devote to its nc.
cumulatlon. The manure bank, a.. has been

Tho Hnelish snarrow.

James Hogg, horticultural authority,
writes in Delaware Farm and Home in
favor Of the English sparrow. He says that
having excellent opportunities for observa-
ton he is quite certain that they do not de-
stroy the buds of trees In winter as they
have been accused Of doing. The charge
that they kill or drive away our native
song birds he considers equally baseless. IL
is the featherless sparrows-the gunners--
who are constantly popping at the small
birds. He says the Germans are the prln-
cipal offenders, and Sunday the principal
day; tho woods and fields Of Long island,
for example, are overrun on that day with
q horde Of gunners At Central Park In
New York city, where sparrows are numer-
GUS, 1870 species Of native brds-land and
water-are unmolested by the sparrows.
Mr. Hogg quotes at length from the late
Seth Green, who was careful and accurate
observer Writing TO the Rochester Herald
in answer TO a communication from Prof.
Fish, Mr.. Green SAYS III Prof. Fish or
any one else who believes as he does will
spend a day with me in my yard in the
summer will guarantee that l will show
him that the English sparrow does not
drive away ether birds, and that be lives

cred the secret Of artidcially petrifying
wood, by which means be believes edihces

per cubic inch, so that the discovery does
not promise an immediate revolution in

A new candle has been brought out which
extinguishes itself In an hour. This it does
by means Of tiny extinguisher Of tin
which is fastened In the wax by wires, and
which effectually performs its task. 1t is
only necessary to remove this diminutive
extinguisher when its work is done, and the
candle is again ready TO burn another hour.
An automatic gas extinguiSher has lately
been patented by Joseph Heroux Of Yama-

not entirely, to take the place of brush for
peas. A pretty stout stake is wanted at
each end of the row. Tomatoes can be
supported by pair of wires stretched
along the row, one on each side This
must be done early before the vines begin TO
spread at the top. An old barrel hoop may
be fastened to the wires SO that the plant
comes up through it. In the pocket Of the
buggy and the farm wagon-in fact, in
every carriage on the place-there should
be small roll of wire, as well as ball of
stout string. In the event of breakdown
all sorts of meuding can be done with great
ease. A broken strap, thill, or even a tug,
can be made whole, and accidents which
are usually seriously vexatious become mere
incidents,
Wire wound tightly about the end Of
stick, and the ends carefully tucked in, or
the last turn secured with tack, makes a
good and substantial ferrule. Tolearn how
this should be done one has only to study
the winding of wire upon a broom. This
broom wire is Of about the rignt size for all
the smaller jobs. There are places and
times when a couple of turns Of wire around
the mouth of a bag are much better than
string. A wire staple or band will hold
Tapping strap, and without showing like
string A stretched wire will keep flower
pots from blowing off g. bench or snalf in
summer. A split knife-handle may be
wound with wire and made to do good
work. 1t must not be forgotten that han
die tightly wound with copper wire affords
a very firm grip. Lastly, wAan your sus-
penders break, and needles and thread are q
mile away, don't forget the copper wire.

Raising Mules.

The editor Of the South is Of the opinion
that among all the stock industries now
engaging the attention of southern people
thsre is meme that will give better results
than mule raising. The mule is peculiarly
adapted to our climate, not only in its sue
cessful raising but its uee in all the work Of
farm and road. AS a source Of profit for
the race course it would probably be fail
ure; and it may be said that one end of it
is but seldom tanned. But for profit to the
raiser and good work in all the
varied industries of local commerce-trans-
portation and farm work the mule is supe-
rior to every other domestic animal, and
will give better results for the amount in
vested.
In some localities Of the south far-seeing
citizens with capital are arranging to enter
largely into the business Of embarrassing. It
will pay largely, our contemporary pro-
fesses to feel sure; of course proper manage
ment is pre-supposed. In Missouri more
money has been made by raising mules, for
many years, than by raising any other
character of farm stock.
Before the war the mule was the grand
motive power of all agricultural industries
n the south. 1t is being demonstrated
every day that the south can raise the mule
cheaper and as fine as the grain states Of
the Mississippi valley. There is no kind Of
stock raising that has so little risk from
disease The per cent. Of loss from any ard
every source will not reach per cent of
capital invested. The only reason that
mule raising on large scale is not more
general in tho south is that it requires con-
siderable capital, and this will always oper-
ate to prevent too much competition.
