If you will take Scotch snuff and sprinkle it
freely over and about your flowers, the insects
will not trouble them. Macaboy snuff does
not answer, 1t is not strong enough. If you
can't get the Scotch snuff make strong de-
coction Of tobacco in hot water, and sprinkle
that when cool all about the flowers, and be
particular to give the insects a good dosing OF
1t. They will disappear under such treatment.

Putting very strong brine. or salt itself well
rubbed In on the back Of cattle is said TO
be preventive of the grub. The remedy
must be applied two three times q week
for month in the early spring, when the fly
first begins his attack upon the cattle, and
it must be applied also in the TALL.

J. a. D., Yatesville, Ga, asks: l. Can sorg
hum cane be cured so as to keep through
the Winterf =. When is the proper time to
cut it? 3. Is there any danger of feeding the
suckers to stock? 4. How one com
mence to feed 1t!
Similar questions have been repeatedly an
swered In our columns, but as new readers
are being added constantly to our circulation,
the above are answered for their benefit. /.
Yes. Gut when the plant Is from three to
five feet high. Cut early in the morning OF
4 fair day. tie the cane in bundles, same as
fodder. in the evening, and set these on the
end, and allow them to stand IN the field
until the stalk is sufficiently cured to save
In the barn. Then store in the barn as soon
as possible. Some farmers prefer to cut the
plant when about two feet high, and before
there is much stalk to cure, and then save Ii
as hay 1t can be cut and fed at any stage;
but there is no economy in cutting when the
Dlant is very young. Nor is there any dan
gere in feeding the suckers, or second growth,
provided the stock have an abundance OF salt
regularly.
