GARDENING always pays, and that

In planting red cedar seed it should
be remembered that but comparatively
few of the seed terminate, and that
metimes the seed will lie in the
ground a long time before it will germ
mate.
The value Of fax as crop is about
three times that of hemp. Both crops
guire preparation before marketing,
and for that reason are not as extern
sively cultivated as they would be but
for the extra labor required after the
crops are harvested. s~
PLowINe and preparing the ground

the frost to pulverize the clods.
PLANT food in the soil is that which
san be utilized by the growing plants,
and the more soluble and available the
plant food the more rapid the growth Of
the plants. But the soil may contain
unavailable plant food, which may be
rendered available by cultivation and
the application Of fertilizers that assist
in changing the combinations Of mat

should be credited with the value Of

EATING BEETLE LARvlE.

When Roasted in Ashes They Taste Better
F=-- Than European omefette.
One night we spent in cave near the
brook, says book entitled among
Cannibals." The cave was not large,
and was low, cold and damp, and thus
not very inviting. We had but it's naked
stones for couch, for there was of
course no grass to be found in the scrub.
A big fire was kindled; outside it was
pitch dark. My blacks had found in
large fallen tree some larvae of beetles
(coleoptera) on which we feasted There
are several varieties of these edible
Larvae, -and-al- have a-diHefeHt taste.
The best one is glistening white, of the
thickness OF finger. and is found in
the acacia trees others live In
the scrubs, and are smaller and not
equal to the former in flavor The
blacks are so fond Of them that they
even eat them alive, while they pick
them out of the decayed trunk Of
tree-a not very attractive spectacle.
The larvae were usually collected in
baskets and so taken to the camp.lThe
Australian does not as rule eat raw
animal food, the only exception know
of being these coleoptera larv@. The
large fire cracked Justify in the cave,
while we sat around it preparing the
larvae, We simply placed them in the
red-hot ashes, where they at once be-
came brown and crisp, and the fat fairly
bubbled in them while they were being
thus prepared After being turned once
or twice they were thrown out from the
ashes with stick and were ready to be
eaten Strange to say these larvae were
the best food the natives were able to
offer me. and the only kind which l
really enjoyed. = II such larvae is
broken in two it will be found to consist
of yellow and tolerably compact mass
rather like an omelette. In taste it re-
sembles an egg, but it seemed to me
that the best kind namely the acacia
Larvae, which has the flavor of nuts,
TASTED even better than European ON
elette. The natives always consumed
the entire larvae, while usually bit off
the head and threw aside the skin, but
my men always consumed my leavings
with great gusto. They also ate the
beetles as greedily as the larvae, simply
removing the hard wings before roast

and out at four small tubes in
the pan, so that the air will get warmed
before it comes in contact with the
eggs. The yentilator tubes Il, II are 2
inches in diameter and ~ inches long.
Any lamp that burns coal oil will do,
and make the heater to suit. If the
lamp takes 3-inch chimney, make
the heater SO that S-inch tin
chimney will slide inside of it, and run
plaster of Paris around it to keep the
cold air from chilling it down. The air
chamber under the egg chamber is .
inches deep, and extends the whole
length and width of the machine. The
tube 8, one at each corner Of
the machine, acts as draught,
and If too much, close one
up, and If not enough, make paper
tube and add it to 8. so as to make
it longer. The tank is 6 inches
deep, As inches long, 1915 inches
wide, and the two ventilator tubes
make good brace for the tank
and they a little from the
center, so as to allow the hot air tube
to pass through the center Of tank.

tank, SO as to allow the water to be
drained off when the incubator is not
wanted. Ohio Farmer.

A Word Applied BY the Ancients to Every

The word cist was common term en-

designate every species Of basket or box

vegetables or fruits; like our own affairs
of this sort twas sometimes round and
sometimes square. From this limited
use the word came to apply to boxes and
easkets OF all sorts. We find them
represented very commonly on medals
and coins and in pictures; they hold the
money of a private person or of society,
they were used for carrying manuscripts
or papyri, votes were deposited in them:
they were the precursors in the sacred
mysteries OF the pyx or box which
guards the wafer on me altar OF the
homan Ghnrcs.. but their most usual
s.yment was domestic one; they
l'neld the toys of children and small
articles of the toilet.
There have been found in them all
those objects which made up what the
ancients called the woman's world

combs, perfume bottles, sponges, ponade

uncommon to find ivory dice in these
boxes, and indeed the miscellaneous
