Goodtdousekeeping.
Ordinarily In households this insect is not
a nuisance from the actual loss which it
causes by consuming food-products, but
from it's inordinate faculty of getting into
things. 1t is attracted by almost every
thing In the house, from sugar to shoe
polish, and from bath sponges to dead cock
reaches. 1t seems to breed with enormous
fecundity, and the incidental killing off of
a thousand or so has little effect upon the
apparent number. A house badly infested
with these creatures is almost uninhabit-
able. They form their nests in almost any
secluded spot-between the walls, or under
the floors, or behind the base-boards, or
among the trash in some old box or trunk,
or in the lawn or garden walk just outside
the door. In each of these nests several fe-
dreds of eggs, and attended by a ~retinue of
workers, caring for the Larvae, and starting
out from dawn till dark on foraging expe-
ditiOns in long single files like Indians on
the warpath.
Our first recommendation is to find the
point from which they all come. They
may have built the nest IN some accessible
spot, in which case a little kerosene will
end a large part if not all of the trouble.
If the nest is in the wall or under the floor
and taking up q board will not bring it
within reach. find the nearest accessible
point and devote your energies to killing
the ants off as they appear. Where the
nests are outside nothing is easier than to

kerosene or b~isulphide of carbon. The
nests are almost Away in the immediate
vicinity of the house. The ants are pecul-
iarfy susceptible to the action Of pyrethrum
in any form. be it Persian or Dalmatian
powder or Buhach. and a free and persist
emit use of this powder will accomplish
much. A great many remedies have been
proposed in the household columns of
various journals. but nearly all depend
upon the use of a mixture of some sort for
trapping the ants. and, at the best, are
slow and tedious means of warfare. The
best of those with which / have had any
experience consists in placing small bits Of
sponge, moistened with sweetened water,
in the spots where the ants most do con-
gregate, collecting the sponges once a day
or so, soaking them in hot water and then
replacing them. Small bits of bread and
poisoned molasses, or small vessels of lard
in which a few drops of oxalic acid have
been put. have also been recommended, as
we'll as the free use of bOraX. so often adj
yised for reaches. The people of the South
ern States suffer more from these pests than
we do at the North, and a Floridian of ex-
p~erience recommends a mixture of borax
and sugar, well mixed with boiling water,
and left here and there on bits of broken
crOckery.

Farm Notes.

An exchange says that mems and chickens
are the best remedy for the onion maggot.
One hen and brood will take care OF an
acre.
THE surroundings should be kept so neat
and attractive to the young members of the
family as to cultivate in them a desire to
remain on the farm" is the Springfield Re-
publican's prescription for heading off q
common tendency.
AS soon as melons have made growth
enough to be worked, broadcast around
them with wood ashes. Ashes are excel
lent for melons, but good, well-rotted
manure should also be used literally as
we'll. Keep the ground we'll worked until
they begin to run, then work before the
runners, not among them, and pull out the
weeds and grass by hand from among the
plants.
George C.. Hill, of Wisconsin. in a paper
on forestry read before the Fond du Lac
Institute, stated hat III planting trees for
a wind-break, of the trees which he'd their
leaves, the white or canoe birch is among
the best. a rapid, high grower and a top
filled with small limbs. which break the
wind. For a timber grove different kinds
which grow well together should be
planted.
To have pasture well-stocked with grass
the pasture should be divided into two sec
tions, which allows the grass to grow in one
while the cattle are grazing on the other.
When grass is kept too close. and constantly
trampied by the ANIMALS. 1t is liable to be
killed should a drought come. BY alternat-
ing stock on pastures the grass will grow
better and the animals secure more food
with less labor.
Last year it was demonstrated by those
who made special experiments to deter
mine the matter OF feeding for fat or lean,
that a steer or n hog can be made to attain
as heavy weight. with a fair proportion of
fat and lean, by feeding for lean as by the
former method of feeding TO secure weight
of fat only. The relative cost of each sys-
tenn of pIoduction is nearly the same, but
the qu2aty of the carcasses that were
evenly interspersed with both fat and lean
were far superior to the carcasses that
largely abounded in fat.

Trade Moderately Active and Fluctuations
in Values Few and Small
INDIANAPOLIS, June IL.
The volume of business thus far this week
has been An Improvement over that of last
week. still it is hardly up to expectations,
as the time has not been reached when
summer dizziness should prevail. In look
ing back over the spring business, however,
it is found that it exceeds in volume that
of the spring of 1855. Yet so much improve
ment has been looked for that the real in
crease is not appreciated. Taking groceries
for instance, there are two more active
wholesale houses in operation than there
were last year, yet all the older establish
ments report their trade as ahead of last
year. Dry goods men. as well, report the
aggregate of their sales as considerably in
excess of the spring of 1858. In prices
to-day there were few changes. Dry goods
of all descriptions carry a firm tone. Sugars
are still advancing in their tendency, while
coffees have stiffened up a little this week
in the Eastern markets. Little is doing In
canned goods or dried fruits. The stock
now held will most of it be carried over
and sold early next spring. There has been
no money In canned goods to any body the
last year, and the coming year does not
show much signs of an Improvement. The
canned goods men, however, for several
preceding years have had matters much
their own way, and that they should have
occasionally a bad year is not surprising.
Poultry, on larger arrivals, is weak at quo
tations. Butter and eggs are firm and Ill
good demand. Oranges are easy on a light
demand. Lemons are firm on a good de-
mand. Strawberries, black and red rasp-
berries and cherries are all in large supply
with prices ranging low. The provision
market Is quiet, with prices unsettled.
Other markets present no features calling
for comment.

DAILY, SUNDAY And WEEKLY.
The Most Complete Newspaper
in all Departments in the
State of Indiana.

No newspaper in the West is moro
widely or more favorably known than
the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL. By the
display of enterprise and strict attention
to the wants of the reading public, dur
ing the great campaign of 1855, it has
taken a leading position among the most
prominent journals of the country, and
is certainly among the best. Among the
newspapers of the State it is pre-emi-
nently the best, and Indiana readers can
nowhere else find what they want in the
way of State and local news. 1t circu.
lates largely in every county in Indiana,
and has correspondents in every town
and village of Importance. Its market
report are prepared with the greatest
care possible, and no pains or expense
are spared to make them accurate and
absolutely reliable. tits the only news
paper IN the State owning and publish
ing all the news furnished by the two
great press associations (the Western
Associated Press and the United Press,
in addition to which it furnishes an
abundance of special service from all
the principal cities of the country. 1t
has been, and will in future be, the aim
of the publishers to make the INpIANAP
OILS JOURNAL a perfect and complete
newspaper, deficient in no department.
or particular. The paper challenges
comparison with any of its contempo-
raries.
No Indiana reader, certainly no In
diana Republican, should be without the
Journal. While it is thoroughly and
soundly Republican in politics, devoted
to the interest of the Republican party
the JOURNAL will not allow its news to
be collored by partisan bias, but will
give the news Of the day without fear or
favor.
Owing to the prominence Of Indiana
in the next administration, the JOURNAL
will give particular attention to Wash
ngton news, which will be given far
more completely than ever before. For
this reason, if for no other, no Indiana
reader can afford to be without it for the
next four years.
In addition to its new features, the
JOURNAL regales its readers with the
productions of some of the best known
literary men and women of the day.
Many of the most celebrated magazine
writer's and authors are contributors to
its literary columns, making it apaper for
the household and home circle. Special
arrangements have been made for feat
ures of this character, which will appear
in the JOURNAL during the coming year.
These appear most largely in the
SUNDAY JOURNAL, which is a special
edition, and can be subscribed for and
received exclusive of the DAILY
JOURNAL.

After two or three years of its experiment
tai stage, the trust as a scheme for regulat-
Ing and conducting the business Of produc-
ton is so flourishing that its securities now
come forward to monopolize large share of
attention on the exchanges. The shares Of
the industrial trusts" as they are called,
have taken their place with the stocks Of
railways, canals, mines and other corpora
tons; and have even eclpsed these latter,
temporarily at least, in the attention of in
vestors. Those trust stocks in which there
are public dealings like Cotton Seed Oil,
Sugar. Lead, and Standard Oil, have shown
large advances within quarter of year !;
and are recommending themselves to invest
ors by the apparent great success of the new
method of combining capital. These facts
suggest considerations of Interest to the
citizen and the business man. Does this
prominence of the shares of the industrial
trusts" indicate that they are to become es-
tablished institutions of the business utter
ests of this country? Today trust stocks
are promising from six to twelve per cent. in
dividends, an indication of which the natu-
raj Interpretation is that the 'industlial
trusts" are very successful In breaking down
competition and securing large share Of
profit for their managers and owners. SO
far all has apparently gone well with the
trusts, and the tendency naturally resulting
will no doubt be to multiply them until
many more. perhaps nearly all branches of
production shall be included. Such pros
pect is startling and revolutionary. Compe-
titior has been the life of trade, and the joy
of the purchaser and consumer for centuries !;
and the elimination of it is step of the nigh
est Interest, whether its results may be OBJ
ruslye or unobtrusiye. 1t is conceivable
that the trusts may continue to succeed and
make their profits while the prices of their
products shall at the same time be lessened,
as in the case of the Standard Oil Trust. In

The assertion made at the meeting of the
American Missionary Association by DR..
Kincaid that parts of New England were
spiritually barren as rock, and that Names
missionary fields were calling loudly for
workers, has already been commented upon
as a statement that need not be taken with
great allowance. Rev. A. G. Fitz, OF South
Paris, writes to the Oxford Democrat this
week an interesting letter upon the condi-
tlon Of the missionary field in Oxford coun-
ty. Mr.. Fitz writes this letter to show, as
he says, shat mission work Is needed right
here at our own DOORS" Ten years ago 1t
was found that there were people in Oxford
county, who had never been to any
kind Of religious meeting. some who did
not know what Sunday school was, and
many who had never heard a church bell
ring. The Congregational churches of the
county put a missionary into the field with
commendable promptness. and work has
been carried on for 10 years In that county.
But the field is too large for one missionary,
and today there are found, Mr.. Fitz writes,
people who never hearda sermon preached,
or heard the voice of prayer" 'chldren who
have never been to Sunday school," and
''sck people who have not seen the face OF a
minister for many years" The missionary
has wide circuit to travel which consumes
six weeks, and there are at least 1000 people
who, but for his infrequent calls, would en-
joy no religious privileges at all. There is
nothing sensational about these facts. They
have been brought up often. in addresses OF
the missionary societies and in conferences,
If not in discussions in the secular news pa
pers. But they cannot become too well un-
derstood, for they are facts that have a
broad bearing upon society and manners in
this State for the future.
