ROSE INsECTs.-The insects most
harmful to roses are the green fly, red
spider, Isl hopper or thrips, and the
rose bug and the black slug. Now,
though combating these insects involves
some little troubles, yet success will at
tend all persistent efforts. The green
fly, the tIirips and the black slug can
al be kept under by Swinging the
plants with a solution of whale oil soap.
One pound of soap is sufficient for eight
gallons of soap. Throw the water in a
fine spray on the under as well as the
upper sides of the leaves. A syringe
with a bent nozzle is the best instru-
ment with which to apply the liquid to
the lower sides of the leaves. The red
spider can be held in check by Swinging
the leaves with clear water: in dry
times this should be done every day. If
the rose bug (Melolontha subspinosa)
makes its appearance, which is not very
often, it can be destroyed by the insect
exterminator.

UTILIZING DROPPED MANURE
An Ohio farmer says that a good way
to utilize dropped manure in lanes lead
ing from barnyard to fields is to plough
and scrape them where the surface is
such that this can he done. Many lanes
of this kind contain an undisturbed &C
emulation of years. Build n per
manent fence in the middle of a strip
wide enough for two lanes, say sixty
feet, then build a portable fence out on
either side Of the lane. When it be-
comes desirable to plough, remove the
portable fence over to the other side for
n lane there.

REMEDY FOR ScoURs.-As many
domestic animals are liable to scours il
Is well to be prepared to give proper
treatment. An authority says that
when an animal has the scours itindi-
Gates indigestion in some form. 1t is
not desirable to attempt to give medi-
cine unless you know the cause of the
difficulty, and the safest remedy is to
diet the animal. A warm mash Of
bran twice a day, with M other food,
will sometimes effect a cure. If the
animals ere not thrifty, with the coats
rough, the allowance Of q pint Of lin
seed meal once a day will often i'm
prove them rapidly.

FARM NOTES.

GEESE ON THE FARM.-Any farmer
who lives on a farm situated oue-quar'
ter of a mile or more from neighborsD
may keep a flock of geese with pront.
If blessed with too neal neighbois, the
geese might trespass on their gardens
or get into their bean patches or fields
Of grain when least expected. Geese
are taught with little trouble where
they must stay, and they Will run IN a
pasture where there is plenty OF water
and grass growing rapidly without other
food. The goslIngs will do better II
fed a little corn meal, mixed in dough
and sailed, every night and morning
until fully feathered. After this they
| will get their own living.
Geese may be picked once in six
weeks, beginning the first of May.
They should not be picked later than
October. Goslings usually sell at 81 a
head alive when three months old. If
kept until fall they will bring 81 and
leave the farmer the feathers, which
will sell for about fifty cents per pound.
This is the estimate where no extra
feed is used. If fed night and morning
for a few weeks before killing them for
market, the geese would, of course,
| weigh more and sell ut an advanced
price. Many women make a business
of raising geese for market, they get
! their money much more rapidly and
| with less trouble than by keeping hens.
A POINT FOR WHEAT GROWERS
A gratifying effect of strewing straw
thinly over the wheat plants on a very
| poor spot of land after the ground had
frozen has teen reported by Mr.. Terry,
of Ohio. The wheat was benefited,
but the remarkable advantage lay in
| the good catch and good growth of
clover sown in the spring, which ex-
| tended exactly to the limit Of the straw
mulch-one load 10 the acre. So says
a writer In the Weekly Tribune, who
| adds that he once owned two fields in
which there were spots of the finest and
cleanest of loan, on which clover seed
always failed because Of the surface
running together into a compact glaze
| after the spring frosts, and he could
think of no remedy. The straw seems
to have prevented the rains from so
packing the surface in Mr.. Terry's
valuable experience, and clover, If it
can be made to grow with Ger. ainty,
will soon amend the texture of the soil.
Farmers who have poor spots in their
wheat field would do well to try the
straw cure, not only to benefit the
crop sown, but as a preparation for
clover.

HOUSEHOLD.

PAINTING UPog GLAss-The best
and prettiest way to ornament windows
Is to engrave scenes or figures on the
glass. The method of doing this is be-
gun by laying the glass fat, and giving
1t q coat of brunswick black. When
dry, scrape on q picture with a needle
fixed in a handle of wood or cork. Put
q ridge Of wax or tallow around the
glass, and pour on fluoric acid. When
It Is on for half an hour, pour back into
the rubber bottle for future use. Then
wash Of the black with turpentine.
Very effective work can be produced by
gliding on the engraved side Of the
glass; which Is done by thoroughly
cleaning it, licking with the tongue, and
putting on gold leaf. Press the gold
well into the engraving, and the en-
graved lines appear embossed and
rough, while the smooth part looks
Furnished. OF course, the picture and
gold are on the back Of the glass. But
the best method Of all, is to engrave on
the red side Of ruby glass, by doing
which, all the lines come out white. If
the design is properly drawn, this plan
is decidedly superior to any possible
painting an amateur can do, both for
clieapness and effect. Moreover, it is
permanent,
