1t generally improves greatly the APP
pearance of steep earth banks TO clothe
them with verdure, but it often hap
pens that the grass that is used for tina /
purpose Is injured by hot, dry weather
or washed by floods from long or heavy
rains. There are two raining plants
that will hold their place and furnish
fine sheet of grass; these are the En-
glish ivy and the periwinkle The ivv
is tender at the North. and is occasion
ally killed by sharp winters when it is
exposed on walls and buildings. But in
contact with the surface OF the earth. or
only few inches above, it never suffers.
1t may be used for forming a close. COM
pact growth over the ground. The 9TH
er plant, the periwinkle, has a finer
green color, and adheres in its close
growth even more firmly than the ivy.
In some localities it interferes with cul-
tivauion- and is regarded as a weed.
Both will grow freely in the shade, and
may be easily planted in the form of
short cuttings of stems and roots

DAIRY DOTS.

MILK from cows in good health and
apparent contentment only should be
used.
WE give 4 summary of Professor Rob
ertson's excellent bulletin on Milk for
Cheese FactorieS:'
TIN pals only should be used.
ALI milk should be strained immedi-
ately after it is drawn.
Cows should be MIXED with dry hands
and only after the udders have been
washed or brushed clean.
PURE cold water should be allowed in
quantities limited only by the cows
capacity and desire to drink.
AN abundant supply of cheap, succu-
lem, easily digested, wholesome, nutri-
tious feed should be provided.
MILK is better for being kept over
night in small quantities. rather than in
a large quantity in one vessel.
ONLY pure, clean. honest milk should
be offered. Amy deviation from that
will not always be UNPUBLISHED.
IN warm weather, all milk should be
cooled to the temperature of the atmos-
phere after it has been aired but not be-
fore.
WILD leeks and other weeds common
in bush pastures give an offensive odor
and flavor to the milk of animals which
eat them.
MILK stands should be constructed to
shade from the sun the cans or vessels
containing milk, as we'll as to shelter
them from rains.
a BOX or trough containing salt, to
which the COWS have access every day,
is equisite Indispensable in the prof
liable keeping of cows.
Cows SHOULD be prohibited from
drinking stagnant, impure water. The
responsibility for the efficacy of that
beneficial prohibition rests wholly with
the individual farmer.
MILKING should be done. and milk
should be kept only in a place where
the surrounding air is pure. Other
wise the presence of the tainting
odors will not be neglected by the
milk.

BUFFALO TREE-HOPPER.

Description of the Pest by Prof C. NJ
Weed, of the Ohio Agricultural Expert
ment Station - Remedies - Ensiia sc
Against Dry Cured Grass.
In q recent bulletin of the Ohio Ex-
peri nent station, Mr.. Clarence NJ. Weed
reports that little insect, called the
buffalo tree-hopper has done much dam
age to fruit trees lately. The following
account of the pest is given:
The buffalo tree-hopper is small
greeuish or yellowish insect, about one
third of an inch long, which is general
" rather common during the late sum-
mer and early autumn months A fair
idea of its form, which has been com
pared to that of a beech-nut, may be OBJ
tanned from the illustration here given.
Its mouth consists of a sharp beak,
which it inserts in to the bark and sucks
the sap. The eggs are laid in the upper
part of the twigs of apple, pear, maple
and various other fruit and shade trees,
mostly during the late summer or early
autumn months. They hatch the fol-
lowing May into small, active, greenish
hoppers somewhat like the adults in
appearance, which insert their tiny
beaks in the tender bark and suck out
the sap. They become fQll-grown about

The Tallow Candle Still Reigns Supreme

The English are slow to adopt new
ideas. Strange as it may seem, the
people are still using tallow candles all
over the country. They didn't know
what kerosene was in Warwick ard
Blackwell. They had never used it. At
the Warwick Arms and Charing Cross
hotels in London we had to go to our
rooms with one tallow candle, and sit
with it. too, or pay sixpence for an extra
one. After writing by our splendid
kerosene lamps in America this trying
to write by the light of tallow candles
is something dreadful 1t is going back
to barbarism-

In London they are just beginning to
use .kerosence a little. They call it

time. They are now burning 1t in
small lamps without chimneys in many
instances. There is field for some
enterprising American to come over
here and introduce some good lamps.

HARD MAN TO CATCH.
The Counterfeiter Who Copies Uncle
SANS Notes with IA Pen.

The Counterfeiter Who Copies Uncle
SANS Notes with IA Pen.
The most remarkable counterfeiter at
present living, SO a Washington Star
reporter was informed. has been keep
ing the United States Secret Service in
such a condition of evaporation for a
long time past that no trouble or eX-
penSe would be considered excessive for
the accomplishment of his capture.
And this. although he produces on an
average not more than two bogus notes
in year The remarkable thing about
these limitations are that they are
executed entirely with a pen. Once in
six months, almost as regularly as clock
work, one of them turns up at the treas
ury here. to the disgust of the Govern
ment detectives, whose utmost efforts
can not discover so much as q clew to
follow. The strangest point about the
matter is that the work of producing
the bills in this fashion, merely con-
sidered as a question of labor, remunera-
tive or otherwise, can not possibly pay.
They are always either ifties or TWEEN
ties, and to make one must require
pretty cons tant toll for quite half a
year. The last one, which was received
few days ago, was Il double y.
Funny enough thev come each time
from a different city, and the SUPPOSE
tion is that the forger leaves town for
another locality Immediately upon
passing one. He gets rid of the note he
has just completed, which may remain
in circulation for some time before
reaching a bank, and departs long be-
fore the police agents have a chance to
arrive upon the scene. The most
plausible theory seems TO be that he is a
monomaniac of means, who gratifes q
morbid taste IN this astonishing way.
His imitation bills are so perfectly done
that no one short of a professional ex-
pert would hesitate to take them for
good money. From the vignettes to
the signatures the work is performed
with an accuracy that bears
scrutiny with a powerful magnify
ing glass. In all likelihood the
reason why the notes are not made of
larger denominations is that they would
be proportionately more difficult to pass.
One can imagine that this eccentric
counterfeiter INDUCES in the employ
ment simply for the qualification Of his
vanity 1t is not improbable that he
himself has been shown the frame at
the treasury building in which two
specimens of his handiwork are shown
by polite attendants to visitors as the
most extraordinary samples OF forgerles
in the government collection. Anyway
he goes on turning out the bills at regu-
lar intervals of six months, thus occa-
sioning periodical Spasms of exaspera-
ton in the Secret-Service bureau.

The turning point

The turning point
in woman's life brings peculiar
weaknesses and ailments. DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription
brings relief and cure. 1t is a
powerful, invigorating, restorative
tonic and nervine. 1t imparts
strength to the whole system in
general, and to the uterine organs
and appendages in particular.
"Run-down," debilitated and deli
cate women need it. It's a legiti-
mate medicine = purely vegetable,
perfectly harmless. It's guaranteed
to give satisfaction in every case, or
money refunded. Nothing else does
as much. You only pay for the
good you get. Can you ask more ?
AS a regulator and promoter of
functional action, at that critical
period of change from girlhood to
womanhood, "Favorite Prescrip-
ton " is a perfectly safe remedial
agent, and can produce only good
results. It is equally efficacious and
valuable in its effects when taken
for those disorders and derange-
ments incident to that later and
most critical period, known as "Ihe

midsummer and feed, in both youns
and adult states, on great variety OF
plants.
The chief injury done by the buffalo
tree-hopper is that done in the process
of egg-deposition just described. On
old trees it is not likely to be very Sc
rious, but on young trees considerable
damage may be done. Prof. Popenoe,
in describing the work Of the insect in
young apple orchard in Kansas,
says:
The effect of these punctures in the
bark and wood was shown in the I'M
healthy and unsymmetrical appearance
of the twigs, and in the young apple
trees mentioned in the lack OF vigor of
the tree itself"
It is always more difficult to prevent
the niuries of an insect that feeds upon
q large variety Of plants, both wild and
cultivated, than one which is confined
for food to the single crop injured. As
a rule it is also more difficult to fight
those insects which get their food by
sucking than those which bite. The
buffalo trce-hopper ombines both of
these characteristics, so that from the
nature Of the case we may expect it to
be a difficult insect to overcome.
1t seems to me tn at the insects might
be successfully fought. just after hatch
ing from the eggs, by spraying with
kerosene emulsion. With this end in
view the infested trees should be care
fully watched during May. and as soon
as most of the eggs are Matched the
trees should be sprayed with 4 kerosene
emulsion. In those cases where the
trees are infested by bark lice, as we'll
as the present pest, the same spraying
may be made to kill both. BY destroy
ing the progeny of the eggs in this way,
the crop of egg-laying specimens will
be reduced, but it will not necessarily
prevent the hoppers which develop in
neigh boring localities from invading
the orchard to deposit eggs
The suggestion of Prof. Saunders of
frightening away the insects during
the season of egg deposition by fire.
quently shaking the trees, also seems
worthy of trial.

ONE of the most curious monstrosities
we have yet to record is a horned
rooster. 1t was bred last spring by a
Missouri farmer. 1t has horn growing
from each side CT its head, right above
the ear, extending downward and very
similar in appearance to the horns OF
the male sheep 1t is a thing very rare
" seen. The horns are about three
inches long. They are of hard sub
stance, growing out of the flesh, being
covered for the most part by red skin
The rooster has horns growing from its
legs also, circular and convoluted. a
quite uncommon circumstance. The
rooster weighs from eight to ten pounds.
