TO KILL FLOWER INSECTS

An excellent fumiSating deviceis made
of stout copper in the form of an
ordinary clay pipe, but with the addition
OF movable cap in which is inserted a
tube for mouthpiece. The ends of this
pipe should be timed where it is nut into
the mouth. In its use one has onlv to
get little ordinary smoking tobrcco: re-
move the cap off the bowl of the nine
f1ll the latter with the tobacco, light it
IN the usual way, replace the cap on the
bowl, then, inserting the end of the nine
connected with the cap in the mouth,
give it gentle, continuous blow and
you produce dense cloud of smoke
which can be directed to anv part of +ho
plant infected with the insects. The
fumes cause the insects to dislodge them
selves at once, even in the most remote
part of the sheaths of the leaves or
flowers.
As Wherever it has been tried ON variety
OF plants it mas been found to answer ex-
ceedingly well. For instance, on many
orchids experimental on there were
thrips far down in the sheaths of the
leaves which no insectitude would reach
without injuring the plant, but after a

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
SOWING WITH BOTH lands.

We have known many. farmers who
have learned to use both right and left
hands alternately in sowing grain or grass
seed. In this case wider path across
the field is seeded and when there is no
wind the seed may be distributed more
evenly than it can with the use Of only
one hand. The motion of the arms keeps
time with the legs in walking. The
sowing of grain by hand is now not com
mon, as it is generally believed that it
can be distributed more evenly and COW
cred to uniform depths by drilling. There
are also grass seed sowels that throw
FARTHER and distribute much more evenly
than it is possible for the best soWer by
hand to do.-Bost0e CultirGt0r.

A HORSES SENSE OF SMELL.

A horse will leave musty hay untouched
in his bin, however hungry. He will
not drink of water Objectionable to his
questioning sniff, or from bucket which
some odor makes offensive, however
thirsty. His intelligent nostril will
widen, culver and query over the
daintiest bit offered by the fairest of
hands with coaxings that would make
mortal shut his eyes and swallow
nauseous mouthful at a gulp. A mare
Is never satisfied by either sight or
whinny that her colt is really her own
until she has a certified nasal certificate
to the fact. A blind horse now living,
will not allow the approach Of any
stranger without showing signs Of anger
not safely to be disregarded. The us
tinction is evidently made by his sense
of smell, and at a considerable distance.
Blind horses, as rule, will gallop wildly
about pasture without striking the sur
rounding fence. The sense of smell in
forms them of its proximity. Others
will, when loosened from the stable, 90
direct to the gate or bars opened to
their accustomed feeding grounds, and
when desiring to return, after hours of
careless wandering, will distinguish one
outlet and patiently await its opening.
The odor of that particular part of the
fence is their pilot to it..-Turf, Field

There are three classes of lard-prime
steam lard, pure kettle-rendered and re-
fined Lard. Prime steam lard is the leaf
fat of hogs and the selected fat trim
mings cooked in close tank, by wet
steam, at pressure of from thirty five to
forty pounds, for from twelve to sixteen
hours, after which the tank Is allowed to
settle and the lard is drawn off. Pure
kettle-rendered lard consists of the fat
backs and other trimmings of hogs, rem
dered in an open kettle, and agitated
while cooking to prevent burning. Re-
fined lard is a compound production. 1t
includes, besides a certain proportion of
the higher grades of hog fats, the lard
stearin left in the extracting of lard oil
from the leaf lard, the settings and scrap
ings from the kettles from which the
neural lard is made, and all available fat
tissues Of the hog, to which are added
the beef stearin obtained in the manu-
facture of oleo oil and a certain quantity
of a double refined cotton-seed salad
oil. The preparation of this product in
wolves the employment of somewhat
complicated arrangement of steam
jackets, hot air agitators, settling ket-
ties, filters and other machinery. The
first two grades are inspected by the
Board of Trade, and branded with a GER
tiicate Of their purity before being put
upon the market.-NeW Orleans Times

WATER FOR FOWLS.

Did ycu ever notice how often hen
will go to a vessel Of water to get
drink, if it be convenient, in course Ct
an hour2 If you put a fresh lot of water
before fowls, did you ever watch the
eagerness manifested to get there first2
When such need of drink is so plainly
seen, does it not seem cruel thing to
let hours, days, or even weeks pass with
out furnishing the necessary supplya It
is stated that three-fourth of the compo-
sition of the egg is water. When the
hen is not conveniently supplied with the
necessary article do you suppose she can
derive enough moisture from what she
can gather about the yard to manufacture
an egg every day, or even every other
day? All who are interested in the COM
fort and welfare of the creatures around
them will do what they can to alleviate
the suffering that may result from thirst.
Those who have not the time to supply
fresh water every day or two can con-
struct fountain in some shaded place
which will furnish a supply until the
water is exhausted. Take a n-gallOn
key with small auger so that a row of
them may be close to the bottom. Con-
struct a cover to this, the rim of which
may be an inch and half larger in di-
ameter than the head of the key, and
deep enough to cover the holes. Fill
the key with water from the perforated
end, place the water-tight cover on it,
AID the water will rise in the extra width
of the cover until the holes are covered,
and there it will stand, three-quarter
inch trough all around the key, foun-
tain which will keep fresh in the shade,
and into which the fowls cannot step,
and thus befoul the water with their feet.

GREEN FODDER BILL OF FARE.

Twenty five years ago fed fourteen
COWS all summer on the produce of
eleven acres of green fodder, and had
enough put away dry to carry them half
through the winter, writes Pennsylvania
farmer. And was only beginning the
practice of soiling then. By this way OF
feeding land can be cropped twice, or
even three times. To begin, one should
have winter rye to cut the first; clover
or orchard grass to follow; early sweet
corn to follow these; and the last will
carry the stock through the whole sum-
mer, although it is desirable to have
some change, and oats and peas mixed
and sown together serve excellently in
this way. This is the programme, which
can be followed whole or in part. The
rye is ready for cutting in May or June.
AS soon as a strip of it is cut through the
field ten or twelve feet wide the soil is
turned with a swivel plow and planted
with Narragansett sweet corn, which will
be ready for use, in roasting ear stage,
in sixty days. When another strip is
ready this is plowed, joining burrows to
the first strip Cthe value of the swivel
pillow now appears). And so on. After
the rye the clover or orchard grass, or
both, which are best grown separately,
come in and last until the first corn is
ready. as soon as this is cut off in
strips new paintings are made. By-and-
by second cutting of clover and grass
will be ready, or the oats az bushels)
and peas a. bushels) sown together. All
that is needed is to have enough, which
is more than can be fed, and the surplus
is cured and put into the barn for win
ter. With a crop of mangels for winter
the system is complete-and no silo
needed. -Ne1o York Tribune.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Mulch the strawberries.
Resolve to make good corn crop.
Feed the potato beetles paris green.
What as to corn fodder and ensilage2
''Snow-white" gladiolus is favorite.
In favorable season a second crop of
orchard grass and of clover can be read
lily secured.
Your team as we'll as you gets tired.
Remember it is doing the heavier work.
Give it rest.
If you stake your trees be sure that
the stake stands firmly. A loose post
does more harm than good.
Hungarian or millet make good hay,
but they need a good, rich soil, we'll pre-
pared, to secure a good yield.
In transplanting trees more loss is oc-
casioned by exposure of the roots than by
their mutilation. Avoid both.
If you grow Japanese buckwheat, do
not grow it by the side of the common
varieties, if you want it to keep pure.
Good onion seed will sink in water,
while that which floats either does not
grow at all or produces only solutions.
Some object to cutting hay early be-
cause the stock will eat so much more of
it. This ought to be good reason for
early cutting.
Orchard grass if first to ripen, then
clover, followed by timothy and then
red top. If properly cured, all make a
good quality of hay.
Wheat or oats are grown for the grain
or seed, but grass for the straw or hay,
and each must be cut at the proper stage
to secure the best results.
The form of the animal and the quail
ity of the meat depend mainly upon the
breed, but the growth and development
depend mainly on the feed.

A VERY OLD NEWSPAPER.

Eow Lloyd's List Was Started Two Hun.
dred Years Ago.
The Oldest paper published in the En-
glish language, except The London Ga
zette, is Lloyd's List, which made its
first appearance in a dingy little Londor
coffee house in 1892. There is no news
paper more generally read by shippers
and marine merchants than Lloyd's, and
yet few of its readers know its very re-
markable history, or hat of the great
commercial business that has grown up
with it
About 1875 there was a coffee house in
Tower street, London, kept by n Ed
ward Lloyd, where a knot Of merchants
gathered at noon to discuss business and
gossip over the threatening Romanism
of James IL. From this small beginning
has grown up one of the greatest and
most powerful commercial organizations
in the world, not the least important
feature of which is an intelligence de-
partment, which for Wilderness Of range
and efficient working has no parallel in
the history of private enterprise.
As early as 1858 The London Gazette
contained a fattering notice of Lloyd's
shop, and four years later the proprietor,
who seems to have been a rousing good
business man, moved his establishment
to Lombard street. then the center of
London's wealthy and influential mer-
chant populace. The astute coffee house
proprietor at this time began the publ
cation of his News. a weekly paper filed
with commercial and shipping informa-
ton, and it became very popular with
those Seventeenth century men of trade.

At night, all along the banks of the
Zuni river, l saw Indian men and women
throwing handfuls of meal into the wa
ter and gesticulating with their hands.
They mumbled prayers necessarily, and
waved from left to right the Icing Aeecy
plumes or flowers called by them the
prayer plume. A little later, at the
church yard, the corpse was brought
forth from a house adjoining the piazza
and deposited in the grave. 1t was car
ned in a blanket by three men, and the
wall that went up at the grave from the
members of the dead one's family was
pitiful in the extreme. -New York
