HOME. FARM AND GARDEN.

The farmer and his family are the
seed corn of the Nation. The best is
selected every year for planting in the
cities and towns.
There is whitish grub, with six
legs near the fore part OF the body.
which preys upon rose bushes. Re.
move the earth around the roots and
kill the grub.
Lettuce for late use may be sown
every month. The plants will not be
as thrifty as the earlier crops, but
will give continuous supply with but
little cost. Sow the seed in rows or
broadcast.
Many seem to think that by in
stinct alone man may perform the
duties required on the farm, while the
fact is it requires the brightest talents
to become a thrifty and progressive
farmer Rural New Yorker.
1t is the expulsion of the air that
keeps the fruit, not the sugar. The
cans may be filled with plain fruit and
sugar added when their contents are
used. Very often too much sugar lie
used in canning-almost enough to
preserve the fruit without canning.

which they had often seen from distance.
1t had once been handsome property, but
was sadly gone to the bad. The mistress,
broken-down woman almost insane, having
lost her all In the war, had sunk to the level
OF those who had served her, and lived with
her two daughters in painful poverty upon
the ruin of her old splendor. Auntie and
the young ladies picked berries, worked in
the felds-did every thing possible to feed
her and themselves.
The girls did not appear at this time to
be present, though the horsemen strained
their eyes looking for them.
1t was with Abrum that the surveyors
became first acquainted. Like the imp of
darkness that he was, he smoked, chewed,
sang, danced, swore, and was happy. He
followed the Northerners about like pet

favor.

the Territory of Dakota is well Illustrated
by the following incident which occurred
some time ago. eos
A postmaster in the northwestern portion
ofthe Territory forwarded his resignation to
the Postmaster-General, and it was appro-
priately filed with Mr.. Henry A. Drury,
the appointment clerk for that section. He
showed the paper to Hon. George A. Ma
thews. Delegate to Congress from Dakota,
and asked him to recommend a suitable
person to appoint. for the position. Mr..
Mathews replied:
''What are your opportunities for know
ing the best men in the vicinity of Boston
or Springfield, Mass, for appointment as
postmasters in the little towns of that
Statea"
Mr.. Drury replied that he had absolutely
no acquaintance in that part of the country
and was without means of knowing the
good, bad or Indifferent men there.
swell, you live as near those points and
know as much about the people there" said
Delegate Mathews, "as / do concerning the
people of Northwestern Dakota. 1t isabout
time that the Territory was divided into two
States, so that four Senators and three
Representatives may look after the offices
and interests which are at present confided
to but one man."
Think of it, A man in Washington City
lives as near the people of Boston, and
knows as much about them, as does the

The latest plan with ensilage is to cut the
