Friendly Parasitic Insects; Ichncumon

The bees and wasps are not the only
beneficial insects in the highest order.
There are four large families of para
sites, whose praise, though rarely sung,
may we'll be in the mouth of evory tiller
of the soil. These insects are mostly
small, and, accordingly, are rarely seen
by those whom they benefit. They are

sect, and as the eggs hatch, the young
parasites feed away on their living VIC
tim, till they become fat and fulfilled,
and the host becomes mere shell, the
yet living home and diet of the larval
parasites. Often the host lives on till
its prosecutors are fully developed.
These latter not irfreq uently come
forth and spin their cocoon in ogg-like
masses on the back CT their victim.
Often the victim has enough strength
remaining to spin it's own cocoon, and
thus it prepares snug retreat for the
very enemies that have devoured it.

DAIRY DOTS.

The following notes are from the
Massachusetts Ploughman:
BOILED milk can be sealed up in cans
and kept quite long while in good con-
,lition, but when opened it must be used
ut once or it will spoil.
SORGHUM stands drouth better than
corn; hence 1t is better fitted for soil
ing or an ensilage crop Well cured it
makes good feed for sheep in winter.
HEAVY work or driving soon after eat
ing and drinking is as bad for a horse
as man. Rest should follow full
meal. or very moderate work, when
work can not be postponed long enough.
1T pays to be amiable to cows, for a
scolded, kicked and frightened cow
never does as we'll as when we'll treated.
And the same is true in domestic life,
though some people fail to appreciate
it,
BITTER milk comes from bad feed.
The rag weeds that follow crop of
rye always impart bitter taste to the
milk of cows pastured in such field.
Such milk is not popular even in the
producers family.

ATLANTIC DUST BELT.
IL Is Located In tho Vicinity of cape
Verde Islands.

IsOCateu tnc Oh saps
Verde Islands.
About the latitude of the Cape Verde
Islands, on the Atlantic, it is frequent
ly the experience of voyagers to observe
the falls of rcd dust and other queer
matter. The material of the dust mass
was examined microscopically many
years ago by Ehrenberg, and his opin-
ion was that small PARTICLES carried
aloft from all countries form trans
parent dust zone, from which they some
times sink down, and, in their whirling
movement, come to the surface. The
material upon which Ehrenberg made
his report was of a sandy nature. The
phenomenon has lately been the subject
of much study: Herr HOLMAN, examin-
ed the logs of /, 1oG ships that passed
through the region in question during
the years between 1864 and 1871; Prof.
Hcnkle, examined the logs OF over
5000 ships that have passed through
"thc Atlantic dust belt since the last
of tho observations taken by He'll
man. These two gentlemen deal with
tho case chiefly from meteorological
point of Wow, and the following are
some of the facts elected: Most of the
dust falls occur in the zone of the At
lantic, between degrees and 16 degrees
north. South of degrees north they
are extremely rare, and the far
thcst south noted by the observers was
. degrees So minutes north, 2G degrees
west. The two farthest falls to the west
were both in 3S degrees minutes west;
both about 800 miles from Cape Verde.
Dust-falls often occur simultaneously at
very different points on tho "Dunkle
Meer," or Dark Sea, rs Ehrcnberg calls
1t. In ono case simultaneous dust
showers were $50 miles apart Some
times the dust-showers continue for sew
cral days, as was the case in April, 1859,
when dust fell constantly for 10 days.
Henkle and IIcllman tell us that there
is 100. 900 square miles of the Atlantic
which may receive dense showers ofdust
at any time: there is also yearly period
in the frequency of the falls. 1t seems
that the nearer the African coast they
are the more likely they are to occur in
winter; further west, in early spring.
These learned men have come to the
conclusion that the dust, which in 40 in
stances out of ~ is of red color. comes
principally from Africa, especially
Western Sahara. The possibility of oc-
casional mixtures of particles from
South America is not excluded. st.

1t Should Come Pretty Near Being What
the Average Farmer wants.
AS will be seen by the illustration,
this plan will give good light and VEN
tilation and enable us to use the barn
floor for feed-room, and will bring the
siloes convenient to both stables. The
two silo pits arc each 20 feet square
with a depth Of "a feet, and when full
will hold over $4,000 cubic feet of ensi-
1uge, or enough to feed forty cows one
and half cubic feet each u day for $50
days. belicvc it is conceded that it is
best to feed some dry food with ensilage,
and that one cubic. foot day is enough
for COW, but even IL two feet per day

slices would hold enough for 240 days
