east or the MISSISSIPPI The eggs are laid
on the Snder side of the leaves, and in
from five to eight days hatch little
green caterpillar a quarter of an inch in
length. This young caterpillar begins at
once to eat on the under side of the leaf,
but as it develops it cuts through and
generally takes its place on the upper
side of the leaf, or in and about the head
of the cabbage, where it does the most
mischief. When full grown it is about
an inch and quarter in length, and on
account of its likeness to the color of the
cabbage is somewhat difficult to find. In
the state of New Jersey, says Mr.. George
D. Hulst, entomologist of the New Jersey
station, from whose essay on the subject
much of the information here given is
derived, there are three, and sometimes
four, broods year.
The caterpillar of the cabbage butter
fly is easily destroyed if the remedy is
applied in time Among the ones proper
to be used is hot water from a fine spray
nozzle, and Of temperature not below
140 or above 100 degrees. Also kerosene
emulsion, compounded after the usual
formula and diluted enc part emulsion
to nine or even twelve parts of water.
A third remedy, recommended as safe
and thoroughly effective, is pyrethrum,
or Persian insect powder. OF this one
part of the DC WIDER to six or twelve parts
OF plaster, or fifteen to twenty Of lime,
should be busted on the plants, and will
kill all the caterpillars touched by it.
The powder may also be diluted with
water, one tablespoonful to six quarts,
and applied with sprinkler. Pyrethrum
and the emulsion are each effective de-
stroyers of plant lice and are recommen-
ded as among the best insecticides for
cabbage insects.
The cabbage plusia differs decidedly
from the cabbage butterfly. 1t belongs
to the moths and is nighs flyer, and for
that reason is seldom recognized as the
parent of a destructive caterpillar. Su-
perfcially the caterpillar somewhat re-
sembles that of the cabbage butterfly,
but on examination is seen to be quite
different. While of nearly the same
color, it is larger and longer, and in
creases in size towards the hinder part.
1t has only six pairs of legs instead of
eight pairs. 1t, therefore, in crawling
has looping motion, after the manner
of the measuring worms, and is almost
entirely without hair. The insect is
three brooded in New Jersey. These
caterpillars are more tenacious of life
than those of the cabbage butterfly, but
the remedies are the same.
CaterpilIars of other moths have been
found to injure cabbage by eating the
leaves, but in most instances without do
ing material injury. In all cases where
they live outside on the leaves they can
be destroyed by the remedies given.

Items in Plum Culture.

We CLEAN the following from Amer
lean Garden: A good strong clay loan is
best; sandy sub-soil not wanted. Wood
ashes and bone dust are good fertilizers
for plums The curculio can generally
be depended upon to do all the thinning
that is needed. Plum trees in poultry
yards are usually exempt from curculio.
Cultivation should be shallow just
enough to keep the weeds down. The
more food you give to the trees the bet
ter will be the fruit and the more there
will be of it. The Lombard is one Of
the hardest of all good plunls, and often
does well for twenty-five years, while
the tenderer Refine Claude hardly ever
lasts more than fifteen or twenty years
at most

Preserring Fence Posts.

Waldo F. Brown suggests in Farm
er's Review that the end posts, which
must bear the strain of stretching the
wires, be set with concrete. 1t will take
but few cents worth of cement to
post, and will make it perfectly firm at
the bottom, and also more durable than
if set in the clay. 1t is almost impossible
to set posts firm enough so that they will
not yield to the strain when the land is
wet and soft, but by digging a hole fif-
teen inches square and pounding it full
of coarse cement grout around the post
it will give base enough to the post to
keep it in place.

FIG. IA USEFUL CART.

In unloading earth, manure, etc, take
off the sideboards, and with chain
hitch the team to one of the wheels,
carry the chain square across the load
over the other wheel, start up the team
and tip the load over. AS the cart is the
same one side up as the other, it is al
ways right side up. Put in the side
boards, hitch to the front and drive off.
The cart is made alike on both sides;
hence you do not have to tip it back.
The sideboards are also alike, and fit on
either side. 1t may be used with or
without Il tongue. If you have much
backing to do, a tongue is handy. With
out a tongue the team is hitched to the
staple C, Fig. l, by a chain or large link.
A tongue is attached to this staple by a
hook, and half inch bolt is put through
the tongue and the front of the cart at
P. is bolt is left out when pulling.
In hauling rails and the like use stakes
instead Of the sideboards.

style of cart is great improvement over
the mud boat, which is so hard on a
team, and will answer many of the pur-
poses of four wheeled wagon, when
the load is properly adjusted. 1t is an
excellent vehicle for drawing manure,
being easy to load and unload. 1t is also
convenient where grading is to be done
or low places are to be filled with earth.

Salt as a Check to the Chinch Bug.

Professor Forbes, the Illinois state en-
tomoiogist, is credited with having said:
'I have no personal experience with the
use of salt as a check upon chinch bug
increase, but from what l know Of the
habits of that insect and the effect of
other fertilizers, should not expect any
important advantage, except in soils
where salt will specially stimulate the
growth of the grain. Sore experiments
with salt, made within my knowledge
by intelligent farmers of southern Hi
nois, were without noticeable effect"

FIGS, 2 AND ga USEFUL CART.
The wheels used in the model are from
an old moving machine, and % inches
high. The maker chiseled off the pro-
jections, broke off the cogs, and had the
holes reamed out to take in a 11-inch
axle The length of the boat is 10 feet;
width 8 feet inches, outside measure.
The bottom is made of good oak boards
1 inch thick, and feet 3 inches long,
and laid crosswise of the cart, The ends
of these boards are put between by 4
inch oak scantlings O.. The shaft or
axle is perfectly straight, without turn
ing or lathe work, but simply has a
inch hole through the ends for Inch
pins. This shaft is placed IL feet from
the hind end of the cart. A strip of band
iron (B) inches wide and 16 inches long
is put on each side and riveted on solid,
to hitch to. The staple works loosely
through this iron, to admit of hitching
lto either side. This staple is made of &
inch round iron, :! inches long, and 4
inches between the nuts on the ends. A
strip of iron 1 by inch is slipped over
these ends and nuts put on.
The staples (S) are made Of 1xg inch
iron, cut II inches long, the ends drawn
out and turned square edgewise, one end
one way and one the other, as shown in
Fig. 3. Bend fatwise to form the staple.
This makes the staple holes 2x3 inches.
These stapIesare putin place when build
ing the cart. The end projections COM
ing against the upper and lower scant-
Iings of the frame make it impossible to
pull them out. A three-eighth inch bolt
should be put through the scantlings be-
tween the staples and one close to the
axle. Nails or spikes can be used in
other places. The front ends of the side
scantlings should be beveled to an edge,
commencing back about fifteen inches
from the ends. Then put on the runners
(D), which should be Of the same length
as the beveled ends of the scantling.
You can iron these runners with band
iron, if you please, by putting on from
the hind end of one runner clear around
to the hind end of the other side. One
Of the sideboards is shown in Fig. 2.

serious as to be worthy OF care
full consideration AS il is, any
one who believes pensioner TO

better proposal than that OF opening the
rolls to public inspection is that of pub

on the pension Office no additional labor
