The use of tobacco smoke in closed
rooms like forcing houses and conserva-
tories is too well-known, says the West
ern Rural, to need remark. That de-
coction is also very valuable is perhaps
not so well-known. For this purpose
even the stems, or refuse powder which
can be got very cheaply in tobacco
factories, will answer well. A pound
of the tobacco to two or three gallons of
water makes very effective decoction.
Turn the boiling water onto the tobacco,
and when cool strain out the tobacco,
and the decoction is ready for use. Last
summer Prof. Cook found this very ef-
fective against the striped flea beetle,
and the cucumber flea beetle, both of
which insects are often very trouble
some to the gardener. If further use
confirms this property of the tobacco
decoction, we have in it very valuable
insecticide, and may hope by further
experiment to greatly extend its use.
This too, is the best substance to use in
the destruction of lice on cattle, horses,
and for ticks on lambs. True, the ker-
osene emulsion will kill such lice, but
it does not destroy the lice so entirely,
and does not leave the hair of the
animal looking so well. In cold weather
after thoroughly washing the animal to
be treated, it should be warmly blank
eted, and kept in warm place until
dry.

INSECTICIDES.


somsthing About Their value and the
Best Means OF Applying.
The Western Rural gises the various
Insecticides in use and recommended
more or less earnestly. The Michigan
experiment station Is responsible for
the estimates of value that are given to
the insecticides named. 1t has issued
bulletin in which 1T gives its estimate
of the arsenites, carbolized plaster, ker.
osene emulsion. buhach or pyrethrum,
kerosene ointment and carbolic acid
emulsion. Prof. Cook says that as
London purple is much cheaper than
Paris green, costing only fifteen cents
per pound, and is just as effective in
practical use, it should always be used
when 1t can be had. unless on very ten
der foliage, like that of the peach, when
only Paris green should be made use of.
Ii Is still question If the arsenites
should be used on the peach. London
purple may be used either dry, mixed
with land plaster--one pound of the
poison to eighty or one hundred of the
plaster-or mixed with water-one
pound to two hundred gallons of water.
1t is not the strength of mixture, but
the force and thoroughness with which
it is applied that secures success. The
water mixture, which will usually be
most satisfactory. should be kept we'll
stirred, that tho heavy mineral poison
may not settle; should never be applied
to fruit trees till the blossoms fall from
the trees.
1t should be applied to the apple trees
but once, except in ca Sc of very heavy
rains, when it should bo repeated two
or three weeks after the first applica-
tion; should be used two or three times
at intervals of ten days or two weeks
on the plums, and after every heavy
rain; may be used to defend against the
potato beetle, and all leaf or bud d.eating
insects that defoliate our fruit trees
early in the season, and on our shade
trees for such insects at any time.
Force pumps are excellent to apply the
water mixture to potato vines and to
fruit and shade trees. BY use of bar
rel or tank mounted high on wagon,
we can treat potato vines and low
shrubs, ETC., by aid of gravity very easi-
ly and cheaply. 1t is too bad that our
fruit trees are so high that we can not
treat them in the same way. In the
apple orchard the use of London pur-
pie is so valuable that no one can afford
to neglect its practice. Used just after
the blossoms of the latest blooming
varieties, like the Northern Spy, have
fallen, this substance destroys the cod
ling moth, tent caterpillar, canker worm
and several minute leaf rollers; all of
which are serious pests, and often do
great damage. Here, then, is case
where the orchardists can kill several
birds with single stone.

Symptoms of scab.

The first sign of the existence of scab
is rubbing against any projecting body
within reach; as it extends, sheep bite
themselves, kick with their hind feet
their sides and shoulders. If one is
caught and the hand placed on the
mouth, while infected parts are
scratched, qualification is evinced by
nibbling at tho hand. and when the in
fection is severe or general this nib
bling is regarded as an infallible sign.
Examination will disclose spots on the
skin, white and hard, the center
marked with yellow points of exuda-
tion, which adheres to the wool, mat
ting the fibers together. The wool may
be firm on these spots, and no scabs are
seen at this stage. Then the yellow
moisture, evaporating, gives place to a
yellow scab, which adheres firmly to
the skin and wool. Raw places appear
at points which the animal can reach
with his teeth and hind feet The dis
ease is complicated in summer by the
presence of the larvae of the blow-ly,
the maggots burrowing under the scab.
The animal becomes nervous, excited to
wildness, and can not obtain properly
either food or rest, thus losing flesh and
becoming reduced to a skeleton, from
constant irritation and lack of nutri-
tion, only the strongest animals recover
ing If left without Observation-Disclosures

CHlNA.S GREAT WALL.
A Missionary Gives an Account OF III
Famous Structure.

n missionary Gives an Account OF This
Famous Structure.
Rev. William P. Sprague, of Kalgan,
North China, writes as follows to the
Missionary Herald:
'If any one doubts the existence OF
China's great wall let him come with
me to Kalgan, and sec for himself the
identical wall built by the first Emperor
Chin in 200 B. C.
Take the steamer across the Pacific
to Tientsen, then a native boat up to
tho Pei Ho river three days; then pack.
saddle or mule-little fve days more,
through mountains and plains to Kali
gan. Before you reach the city you see
dark line along the hill-tops just be-
yond the town, and by the time you
enter our compound you see the wall
stretching away over the mountains as
far as the eye can reach, both east and
west, with towers on all the prominent
elevations. As we pay it n visit for
closer inspection you find it windrow
or ridge of reddish-brown porphyry,
rock-broken, not cut, into irregular
blocks. These are so we'll fitted to each
other that the outer surface is tolerably
smooth, and has somewhat the appear
ance of crazy-patch work.
1t is about ten feet broad at the base
and fifteen feet high, the sides sloping
to sharp ridge like a steep-house roof.
You may follow this wall eastward to
the sea, and westward to Kansuh, the
northwestern province; and so doing you
will have traversed the entire northern
frontier of China, 1,5O0 miles Though
you find several hundred miles of adobe
sun-dried mud wall, yet other hundreds
of miles are Of good brick and higher
than at Kalgan. BY the time you have
traced its length you will be willing to
concede not only that China has great
wall, but also that ruler who could con-
quer SO vast a country, drive out the in
vading Tartars, and build fortifcation
1,500 miles long to keep them out, was
worthy to be called the First Emperor,
and to give his name (China) to the
country.
If any one laughs at the folly of spend
ing so much labor on such q useless de-
fense, let him remember that it was a
defense only against horseback riders,
armed with nothing but bows and ar
rows. A few guards on the watch tower
could, with their signal fires on the
mountain tops, easily arouse the vii
layers, far and near, to the defense of
their homes. And this wall accomplish
ed its purpose for over Thousand years,
when the great Ghenghis Khan with his
brave Mongol followers broke their way
through.
This section of the great wall becomes
for half mile the city wall of Kalgan.
A beautiful temple is built on this wall
to celebrate Ghcnghis Khan's victori-
Gus passage.
This 1000 year-old wall is little
known to the world at large, because
there is another wall much oftener
visited and described by visitors from
the western world. 1t is near PelSin and
far more imposing structure. This is
only an inner arm of the great wall, but
800 miles long, and not so old by 700
years. 1t is built of cut granite and
good brick, and is thirty-hve feet wide
at its base, and twenty five feet wide at
the top, and thirty feet high. 1t is a
fine sight as it winds over the highest
mountain tops.
