busting Insect Powder on Dew.

1t is common to make the useful rec
ommendation, in applying any powder
to repel insects on plants, to perform the
busting in the morning while the dew is
on the plants. The only objection to
this recommendation is that plants are
not moistened with dew every morning,
or it is evaporated before the owner has
time to do the work, or it may be too hot
and dry for dew. The work is therefore
put off till the insects may have done
their mischief. A sure way, therefore,
says Country Gentleman, and adapted
to every morning, or to any time in each
day, is to procure watering pot with a
very fine rose, and with fine mist moist
en- the plants, and follow Immediately
with the busting. Without waiting for
a dewy morning, ashes. plaster, air
Stacked lime, hellebore or any Of the nu-
merous poisonous powders may be APP
piled at any time Of day.

White Glover as a Pasture Plant.

White clover is useful plant, relished
as it is by cattle and hunted by bees. 1t
is frequent constituent of the best
pastures in Great Britain and Ireland.
1t is also one of the leading species in
the pastures of North Germany. It is a
most excellent plant in low land pasture.
While it is true that it does not produce
SO much heritage as red clover, it is, on
the other hand, richer in nutritive in
gradients. 1t grows spontaneously In all
good pastures, and its presence is an in
dication of the good quality of the soil.
Where the soil is suitable good clover
spreads SO rapidly that comparatively
little seed is required.
In hard, thin soils tho plant is gener-
ally small, but in soil adapted to it,
white clover soon spreads and covers q
good deal of space. Its dwarf character
and the difficulty with which it Is cured,
causes white clover to be esteemed as O
pasture grass rather than for hay. AS a
pasture plant it endures more grazing
than the other clover.
White clover is often sown with some
of the finer glasses for lawns. 1t Is q
well known and highly priced bee plant,
although the season is often short one,
especially if hot, dry weather comes on
early. Almost the sole objection urged
to white clover is its effect on horses
during the maturing Of the seed. 1t
makes them slobber. The flower is ex-
cellent during most of the season and
cattle are very fond of it. White clover
furnishes large amount of highly nutri.
tive material. 1t has more protein and
more fat than red clover. This, together
with its property Of thriving under CLOSE
and continuous grazing, renders it, as
has already been stated, an excellent
pasture plant

Mr.. w. w. Winters, while sight
seeing among the. debris on Island
Park last Sunday, noticed something
that looked like baby's dress, under
a pile of driftwood. Upon cleaning
away the drift, he found that his eyes
had not deceived him, for there lay a
little flood sufferer half buried in the
mud and sand. Quickly STOPPING, Mr..
Winters lifted the inanimate object
before him, and carried it to grassy
spot in the sunshine, where he tend
erly laid it down. Upon examination,
he found that the baby was white
one, but that decomposition had so
far set in that Identification would
be impossible. Where it came from
is a question. 1t had evidently been
a very pretty little-rag baby.

Angle Worms and Plants.

Peter Henderson says that angle worms
are injurious to plants and gives the fol-
lowing remedy: Mix five pounds Of lump
lime with twenty gallons of water. stir
it until thoroughly mixed. then let it
settle, using only the clear water in
which sufficient OF the caustic quality of
the lime will remain to Kill the angle
worms. Use enough of it to reach the
bottom of the pot or the bench. Two
applications will usually be sufficient.
