ENEMIES OF CABBAGE.

The caterpillars of the cabbage moth
do great mischief by eating the hearts of
cabbages and caulihowers, rendering
them totally unfit for use. ud-pick-
ing and busting the plants with newly
Stacked lime are the best means by which
these destructive insects can be kept ia
check. Another insect injurious to the
leaves, and especially so to cabbage and
broccoli, is a minute fly. It is very
abundant from midsummer to the end of
autumn, and from going through all its
changes in less than month, its num-
bers increase with alarming rapidity.
Cutting oil and burning tho infected
leaves is the only way of arrestng pro-
gress. There are several ether kinds of
caterpillars besides the above which at
tack the cabbage tribe, all of which may
be kept in check by judicious hand
picking. Snails and slugs attack all the
varieties of cabbage, aud frequently prove
very destructive. The best mode OF de-
stroying them consists in dusting the
plants and ground about them with
newly Stacked lime or fresh sawdust.
The formation of protubrauceS on the
roots, usually termed clubbing, is the
most destructive disease to which the
cabbage tribe is subject. 1t is ascribed
to one or more species Of insect, may

cles. Lime, wood ashes, SCOT, nitrate of
soda, and common salt are considered to
be useful applications to the soil in
which cabbages, etc, are to be grown,
and mari unquestionably is so. 1t is
also good plan to dip the roots of
plants about to be planted in mixture

Starving Japanese Living OIL Straw

John B. Hall, an English barrister who
has been in Japan nearly year, stopped
at the Richelieu for few hours while on
his way from San Francisco to New York.
He predicts serious trouble as the out
come of the famine in certain parts of
Japan and cites one incident rs an illus
tration.
1.-THE high price of rice and consequent
starvation" said he, "affect the greater
part of Japan. In some localities the
natives have for a long time been living
on straw. The people in the cities are
so busy with Improvements and new en-
terprisss that they don't hear the cries of
the sufferers. 1t is certain that this con-
tinued destitution will result in blood.
shed. The natives are planning to do
something desperate to better their con-
dition.
"At Tcttori-Ken one day about the
middle Of April, twenty Shizaku marched
with drawn swords to the house of Ki.
mura Sahei, rich rice merchant, and
demanded that he assist the poor. They
charged the merchant with monopolizing
the rice crop to the detriment of the peo-
pie and declared that they would behead
him unless he stopped exporting the food
until after the wants of the sufferers had
been relieved.
During the menacing demonstration
, the police arrived and arrested the dis
turbers." Chicago Tribune.

CARE OF THE CARRIAGE.

Five dollars per annum and proper
care will keep farmers pleasure-wagon
looking as well as that of the million
nire. Apply paint once year and var
nish twice. These can be purchased
ready mixed for use, and the farmer can
put them on himself. AS soon as the
vehicle returns home muddy, wash the
mud off by throwing water upon it, and
then use a sponge softly. One who
washes carriage with a cloth always
scratches and mars the varnish. Mud
suffered TO dry on acts as a sponge and
absorbs the oil from the varnish, leav-
ing the vehicle spotted aud dingy. Some
wash carriages with soapy or hot water.
These have about the same effect. Keep
the wagon under cover and away from
escaping ammonia; kept in a stable or
near manure pile ammonia will destroy
the varnish; it has been known to do
this in one night. Standing in the fierce
rays of the sun when no breeze is stir
ring is always bad. A feather-duster is
necessary adjunct to the carriage house,
and should be used very time the vehicle
returns from dusty drive. Dust allowed
to remain on the varnish soon adheres
and makes it look gray. A canvas cover
will keep off dust and filth and scratches
of fowls.-NelO York. Tribune.

TIE WAGES OF FARM LABOR.

Notwithstanding the general depres-
sion in agriculture and the low prices
ruling for farm products the wages of
farm employees seem to be woll maintained
and not to have been much affected as
yet by low prices. According to the re-
port of the Government statistician, COW
ering investigations made during the past
two years, there is everywhere q pressure
of competition with farm labor, with
drawing laborers from rural engagements
and thus leaving to the remainder fair
wages. In New England farm wages are
slightly higher than two years ago. There
is complaint of the scarcity of intelli-
gent labor, and where foreign labor is
abundant much of it is untrustworthy,
beside requiring instruction and super
vision. Farmers in New York and in
many other States as we'll, are trying to
do their own work to avoid the expense
OF skilled labor and the annoyance of IN
skilled.
The demand for labor in other pursuits
with better compensation and the desire
for living in cities and towns are the
chief causes of the scarcity of intelligent
farm labor wherever it exists. In the
cotton States very few laborers are en-
ployed through the year at given rates in
money, this class mostly preferring to
work at shares of the produce. The ex-
cessive wages formerly demanded by har-
vesters in the great wheat regions have
bsen reduced along with the introduction
OF improved machinery for doing har-

CLOVER ENsIIAGr.

The great losses Of clover.hay oc-
casioned by rains last year ought to dis
pose farmers favorably to the silo. The
reaper can be put in the cl yer as soon
as the dew is off, and the clover put in
the silo almost as soon as it is cut.
Hence, the silo makes the clover-grower
independent of rain. Expensive cutters
and powers, and the labor of cutting, are
not needed for clover. Clover.ensilage,
with grain and meal, is an excellent
winter feed. Glover for cnsilage should
not bo cut until it is mature. In the
early days of the silo, clover was cut
while too youug, and the result was a
very poor quality of ensilage. The amount
OF moisture in the cnsilage is an impor-
tant factor, as it always has a marked cf-
feet on its fermentation. Glover cut too
early has an excess of moisture. This NAV
be responsible for the poor quality of
the ensilage; and it Is certain that ma
ture clover makes the better tnsilage, as
well as the greater quantity. Aud, as
we can make clovcr-ensilage while the
sun shines, and also when If does not,
there is no need of hurrying the mower
into the field.-Americaa Igricvuurist.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
rArrrNrNe GEESE IN FRANCE.


In France the fattening of geese for
market is tho business Of men who do
nothing else. They contract with the
dealers to get their stock in marketable
condition at a certain time for a price
agreed upon. France is considered the
largest poultry market in the world, the
keeping of poultry being done in a man
ner that makes it pay. Il is not uu-
common to see the French peasant driv-
ing into market a flock of several hun
dred geese, selling them as we would so
many sheep or hogs. There are also
many who go among the farmers, pluck
the geese feathers and market them on
percentage; this gives employment aud a
living to many poor people.-4mericda
