Remedy fur Potato Bugs.

Paris green is the standard remedy
and when thoroughly applied is always
effective. When applied in solution a
dessertspoonftl of tho poison to a pail
full of water is enough. Apply in as
fine spray as you can, and only as
often as the numbers of the insects make
it necessary. The poison has a tendency
to settle, which makes continual stirring
important, otherwise it is likely to be
unequally distributed and to injure the
foliage in spots For this reason many
prefer its dilution with plaster.
Among them is Mr.. E. S. Car
man, than whom there is no better
authority on the subject. He says, "a
dessertspoonf Il of the green thoroughly
mixed with two pailfuls of plaster will
prove just as effectual." and he consid-
cred this the preferable method of using
it on the potato vines

Manure for Potatoes.

A fertilizer suited to any soil cannot
be prescribed without knowing the par
ticular needs of whatever soil it is ap-
piled to. In most cases, the most certain
and reliable fertilizer is good barn
manure properly applied the previous
years. Superphosphates do not always
pay cost, but if they have proved de-
cidedly useful on any soil, few hun
dred pounds may be applied to the acre.
In other instances ground bone, mixed
with moderately heating barn manure,
has proved beneficial on some land.
Nitrate of soda has greatly aided growth
on some soils, with no appreciable ben
eft on others. An extensive manufact-
urer of potato fertilizers assured us that
he could not recommend any for certain
named soils. Such special fertilizers
have sometimes given the largest known
potato crops in the country, but in many
cases they have produced comparatively
small ones. Every owner therefore must
experiment variously on his own land to
determine what is needed and to select
the best.-Country Gentleman.

THE OLD SWEET APPLE TREE,


ny MARVIN l., PIPER,
The old sweet apple tree still stands,
Beside the garden wall,
And on the soft and verdant sward
Its snow white blossoms fail,
1t stlll bears large and luscious fruit
That tempts the rowing lad,
And DER the narrow winding way,
II casts welcome shade.
1t looks upon the dark green hills
That passing storms assail,
And listens to the tuneful rill
That laughs adown the vale.
The robin builds her nest among
Its branches old and gray,
And there the happy summer birds
Sing through the live-lOng day.
Long years ago when this old tree
Was young and fair 10 view,
A little boy with bright black eyes,
And cheeks Of rosy hue,
Played thro' the long bright summer days
Beneath its cooling shade,
And built lofty castles of blocks,
Or small stone mansions made.
He often called his sister there,
To see his castles tall,
And showed her all that he had made
Beside the garden wall.
With heart so light and full of joy,
He told her of his plays,
And wished that life might always be
Like those sweet childhood days.

From experiments made at the Wis
consin station to ascertain the compare
tive loss in corn fodder when preserved
in the silo or by the ordinary method of
curing in the field, the results of ten
trials during period of three years ap-
pear to be narrowed down to this: The
loss of food materials in either system is
very considerable. and shows that fod-
ders cannot be preserved by any method
now known without their deteriorating
in value.
In the fodder corn as it is cut in the
fall there is a certain quantity of food
elements that may be preserved in sue
culent state in the silo, or cured and fed
to cattle as dry fodder. In either case
an equal quantity of the food materials
is destroyed, on an average about one
fifth. This loss being equal in either
case, the question of which method of
preserving fodder corn to adopt becomes
one of convenience and economy of feed.
The value of these feeding stuffs was
about the same for milk and butter pro
duction, hence it is concluded the adop-
ton or non adoption of the silo must be
decided on the score Of convenience. In
some localities the conditions may be
more favorable to the field curing sys
tenn, while in others the uncertainty Of
weather, the cheapness of lumber or the
severity of winter may speak strongly il
favor of the system of ensiling the fod
der corn.

A Cheap Ice Cox.

Now that the warm weather is here, if
one has no refrigerator and can get ice
regularly it will pay to make cheap
ice box. To be sure it will be rough
one, but much better than none, and in
keeping qualities will compare well with
more costly ones, 1t can be made with
two second hand dry goods boxes. One
should be from three to four inches
smaller in diameter than the other. On
the bottom of the larger box sprinkle
sawdust, and set the smaller box on it.
Pack around between the two with saw
dust. Put tin spout through the bot
tom for drain pipe. Put shelves at
each end of the inner box, leaving a
space for ice in the middle. Fit tops
with hinges to each box and set the
whole on supports at each end, so that
pan can be set under to catch the drip.

It was in 1881 that devised the first
street car, or omnibus, as it was then
called This car was composed of an ex-
tension to a coach body, with seats
lengthwise instead of crosswise. On the
outside of the vehicle was printed ''Om-
nibus," in large letters. People would
stand and look at this word and wonder
what it meant. who is Mr.. Omnibus?"
many of them would inquire. | had a
shop of my own at this time, and there
built the first horse car. TWAS run for
the first time in 1882, from Prince street,

This car had three compartments of ten

sides. On the top there were also three
rows of seats, facing back and front,
seating thirty persons.-John Stephen

salvation Army and the Crusades.


1t is obvious that if we would find any
analogy for the growth and force of this
movement of the Salvation Army, We
must go back to the enthusiasm exerted
by the preaching of the Crusades, to the
work of Francis and Dominic in founding
the mendicant orders, to the Protestant
Reformation, to the preaching of George
Fox, or to the growth of Wesleyanism
at the close of the last century. Further
no attentive student of early church
history can fail to see many striking
points of analogy between the methods
adopted and the results achieved by the
Salvation Army and those which aston.
ished and Disguised the pagan world in
the rapid success attained by the early
missionaries of the Christian church.

Many times bees light high, or on
fruit or ornamental trees that we do not
wish to injure by cutting the limb off.
In such a case some kind Of a swarming
apparatus is very convenient. The one
here reproduced from Ohio Farmer is
made from long forked stick. Bend the
forks together in the shape of hoop,
and just large enough to go in a large
coffee sack Tor other open material that
will not smother the bees), then fasten it
in the mouth of the sack. Bend the stick
near the fork For convenience cut the
stick in two near the fork, and fasten the
two parts together again, so they can be
easily taken apart. This makes very
good swarming arrangement. 1t is very
cheap, light and convenient, says the au-
thority quoted.
Shake the bees from the limb into the
sack, turn it over, and no bees can es-
cape; carry them to the hive; take the
cover OF and gently lay the sack on top
of the frames, so the bees can crawl out
of the sack down into the hive. Some
| times swarm will leave their new home.
To make sure thing Of their staying,
give them comb containing brood and
honey from the parent hive. | have never
had swarm to leave when thus treated.
In hiving a swarm on empty frames
we do not mean that they are strictly
empty, but frames that have a ''starter"
in them, which is narrow strip of founda-
ton about an inch wide, fastened in the
center of the underside of the top bar,
and on the same principle that founda-
| ton is fastened in sec ion boxes. This
serves as a comb gIlidc, and we get the
combs built just where we want them.

HIS Maiden Effort,


The big family of railroad men, brok-
ers and lawmakers who take their even
ing relaxation at the Windsor hotel are
enjoying a story from General Schuyler
Hamilton. 1t comes from the legisla-
tive halls of a western state, where an
ambitious member attempted his maiden
speech He had written out his remarks,
which began, "TheTe is one thing | can
not see," and reached the Capitol on the
eventful day set for its delivery, conf
dent that the manuscript reposed safely
in an inside pocket.
Getting the speakers eye, the new
member began. "There is one thing, Mr..
Speaker, that cannot see" meanwhile
! diving into his coat for the speech. II
was not where he expected to find it,
but fearing to lose his chance, and still
confident that it would turn up, his
hands flew around to the pockets of his
coat tails, and he continued, 81 say, Mr.
Speaker, that there is one thing I cannot
see." The precious paper was still elu
sive and the member began to plunge
through his pockets in a desperate hunt
for the speech His associates saw his
plight and became interested.
II repeat, Mr.. Speaker" he clustered
"that there is one thing l cannot see.
By this time the assembly was smoker
ing. The speech could not be found ant
the speaker was stumped. He took hi
seat, red and perspiring, with genera
outlaw to add to his discomfort. Thel
rose the wag of the assembly.
"Mr. Speaker" he said, ''the honora
BILE gentleman from Winona informs m
that there is one thing he cannot see
There is also one thing ! cannot see, bu
which every other member can see, an
that is the back of my neck"
The member from Winona mas indef
nitely postponed his maiden effort

Necessity Of Changing seed.

Farmers should never forget the great
necessity of changing seed once in three
years. Seed from an adjoining farm is
good, from another county is better.
Last year Michigan farmer got dozen
bushels of potatoes from New York, and
planted in the same field with some of
his own raising an equally fine appear
ing tuber of like sort, and the result was
shown by yield more than double of
the home seed under identical conditions.

The meanest man on record is said
to live in Center county, Penn. He
sold his son-in-law one-half a COW,
and then refused to divide the milk,
maintaining that he sold only the
front half. The buyer was also re-
quired to provide the feed the COW
consumed, and compelled to carry
water to her three times a day. Re-
Gently the COW hooked the old man,
and now he is suing his son-in-law
for damages.

AMONG THE BEES.

Practical Suggestions and Directions
About Hiving Swarms.
When swarining time is at hand it is
important to have everything ready.
Many swarIns are lost every year, aud In
most cases on account of carelessness on
the part of the beekeeper, To be success
full we must not be caught mapping"
but "be up and dressed" and when
swarm issues be prepared to hive it inn
mediately, Hives and frames should be
in readiness, and at least one fixed on the
stand where you want the new swarm
placed, and carry the swarm to the hive.
