The Distribution of Seeds.

Mr.. Darwin, says the Edinburgh ReUietU,
found that the small portions of earth at
taching to the feet Of migrating birds con-
tanned seed. Nine grains of earth on the
leg of woodcock contained a seed of the
toad rush. From six and half ounces of
earth rolled into ball and adhering to the
leg Of a wounded partridge he raised eighty
two separate plants of five species. Migrat-
ing birds often frequent the edges of ponds
ere their departure. and in six and three
quarter ounces Of such mud he raised under
glass 537 plants. Seeds furnished with
crown, hooks or prickles readily stick to the
plumage of birds, which all such birds, and
especially such wanderers as the albatross,
might carry long distances. Applying these
facts to the case of the Azorean, Mr.. Wal
lace found that most of the plants of the
Azorean fora are we'll adapted to be carried

Tar Water for Insects.

Insects seem to have their likes and dis
likes as we'll as human beings, says the Gin
cinnati Farmer, and substance or odor that
is agreeable to one species may be very
offensive and even destructive to another.
We have tried. says an exchange, varic u
insecticides for the common green cabbage
worm, but found none to work as we'll rs
tar water, and this does not in any way in
jure the cabbages, and all traces of the odor
of tar are washed away by the first shower
To make the tar water put quart or two of
common coal tar in an old tin or wooden
pail and set it on bottom of barrel OF
other tight vessel, then ill up with water.
Let it stand in the air for day or two, and
the water will become impregnated with the
odor of tar aud ready for use Apply in
the evening with q watering pot having a
fine rose, in order to distribute the LIQUID
over the entire head of the cabbage. When
the water has been used fill up the barrel
again, for two quarts of tar will last to
make number of barrels of tar water
strong enough to kill the cabbage worms.
As their are several breeds of this cabbage
pest you may have TO apply the tar water
as each appears, but III dry weather little
extra watering of the plants will prove very
beneficial.

Castor Bean Culture.

Would castor bean culture pay in Geor-
gia! We don't think the question can be
intelligently and satisfactorily answered,
says an exchange, because no one, so far as
we know, has ever tried it. However,
judging by the profits of the business in
other sections, where the conditions for the
cultivation of the plant are less favorable
than in Georgia, we unhesitatingly say that
our opinion is that the business could be
made to pay. In Georgia, the castor bean
plant partakes more of the nature of a
perennial than an annual, as our winter
seasons are so mild the plant often lives from
year to year. and in some cases attains i'm
mense size. In Missouri it is different, as
the bean must there be planted every year.
Notwithstanding this fact the BUSINESS
pays well there. Mr.. Robert Wilson, the
pioneer castor bean grower. Of Badger,
No., in a recent issue of the Vernon county
(Mo.) Null. says:
My experience and observation, both,
convince me that the best paying crop we
can cultivate IN my neighborhood in the
bean crop. The land is not impoverished as
by other crops; indeed it is enriched, and
then the actual profit is larger and surer.

away from the milk, which the analyst can
not find, there are inspectors of farms and
cows employed, and each COW has to be ex-
amined in her lungs and udder once fort

company pays the farmer high price for
this ''worriment.n When sickness breaks
out in the family of milkmaker or vend or
everybody is quarantined and the hired

Onions.

One of the healthiest vegetable, if not the
healthiest one grown, says the american
CuLtiU0tOr, Is the onion, yet, strange to
say, but few people use it as literally as
they should. Boiled onions used frequently
in family of children will ward off many
of the diseases to which the little ones are
subject. The principal objection to the
promiscuous use of this vegetable is that of
the odor exhaled after eating is so offensive.
A cup of strong coffee taken Immediately
after eating is claimed to be excellent in
counteractlng this effect Although for day
or so after eating onions the breath may
have dlsagreeable odor, but after this time
it will be much sweet er than before.
For Group onion poultices are used with
success, providing the child is kept out of
drafts, and a sudden chill avoided. The
poultices are made by warming the onions
in goose oil until soft, then putting them on
the child's feet and chest as hot as they can
be borne. Unless in very obstinate cases,
when taken in time, the Group readily
yields to the onion. This, although an old
fashioned remedy, is a good one, as any
mother who has brought up a family of
children can attest
Onions are excellent blood purifiers, and
for Graduating bois or any of the blood
humors that are very effiacious. They are
good for the complexion and friend who
has wonderfully clear, fine complexion
attributes 1T to the liberal USE Of onions as
food
People suffering from nervous troubles
are much benefited by using these vegeta-
bles frequently, either cooked or raw When
troubled with hard cough, if a raw onion is
eaten, the phlegm will loosen almost imme-
diately, and can be removed with very little
effort. A raw onion is made much more
palatable, if when eating, a little salt or
pepper is used as a seasoning. Those
troubled with wakefulness may insure
good nights sleep often, if just before retir-
ing they eat a raw onion.
There are few aches to which children are
subject as hard to bear and as painful as
earache. One of the best remedies We
know is to take out the heart of an onion
Ia red onion is the. best if it can be had, al
though lacking this kind any other can be
used and roast it. When soft, so it can be
handled without mushing, put it into the
affected ear as hot as can be borne. Unless
the cause is deeper than ordinarily, the pain
will cease in very short time and will not
return.
A cough syrup in which onions form an
important part is made by taking one cup
of vinegar, one cup of molasses and one-half
cup of cut-up onions. Put on the stove and
simmer about half an hour, or until the
onions are soft Then remove and strain.
Take a teaspoonful of this frequently. when
troubled with a cough, and unless very deep
seated, the cough will not last long.

Currant bushes should be hoed, which not

THE soUTH's PoET-PRIRsT.
The Rev. Father Ryan's Service to tn
Confederacy.

The Rev. Father Ryan's Service to the
Confederacy.
From the Chicago Tribune.
The confederacy as we'll as the union had
singers of Irish blood. The most notable,
perhaps, besides Theodore O'Hara, was the
Rev. Abram J. Ryan. OF Father Ryan,
the 'poet-priest," as he was called, it is not
certainly known wether he was born in Ire
land or in the South, but certain it is that
he was more southern than the southerners
themselves. He was chaplain during the
war in the confederate army. His poems are
partly hymns suitable to book of devo-
tions, and partly martial lyrics celebrating
the confederate cause. 1.-The sword of
Robert Lee" is by many thought to be his
finest effort. One stanza is taken from it
as an example of concentrated power of ex-
preston:
Out of its scabbardl Never hand
Waved sword from stain as free;
Nor purer sword led drawer band,
Nor Drawer bled for brighter land,
Nor brighter land had cause so graa6
Nor cause chief like Leel
Father Ryan was of a highly sensitive
nature, and it was fortunate for him that
he had theme as stern as war and another
as severe as religion. His religious poems,
indeed, have a sensuousness like that of
painting OF luCSUS0 III n church,. n ROOQ
example of his richness of imagery is his
Song of the Mystic" of which the latter
part is here given:
In the hush of the Valley of Silence
l dream all the songs that sing;
And the music floats down the dim valley
Till each finds word for q wing,
That to hearts, like the dove of the deuge,
A message of peace they may bring.
But far in the deep there are pillows
That never shall break on the beach;
And have heard songs in the Silence
That never snail float into speech;
And have had dreams in the valley
Too lofty for language to reach.
And have seen Thoughts in the Valley
All, me! how my spirit was stirredl
And they wear holy wells on their faces,
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard
They pass through the Valley like virgins
Too pure for the touch of world.
Do you ask me the place of the Valley,
Ye hearts that are narrowed by Care?
1t lieth afar between mountains,
Ard God and bis angels are there:
And one is the dark mount of Sorrow,
And one the bright mountain of Prayer.
Father Ryan was pastor of st. Marys
church at Mobile, Ala, from 1870 until 1888.
He died at the Franciscan monastery at
