The aphis, or plant louise, is another
enemy OF the farmer, and may be said
10 rank next 10 the tariff and the man
who wishes 10 explain same. Tobacco
Is death on the plant louise. The louise
Is bitterly opposed 10 the use OF tobacco
in any form and cannot see why 1t
should be popular with anybody.
The asparagus beetle Is another insect
that seems 10 be getting quite a hold
upon the American people. Kerosene
emulsiOns will work well ON these bugs
and break down their constitutions.
The bean 'weevil and pea weevil give
the gardener much trouble, and espe-
cially III fields where the canned bake
bean is maturing. Where the wesvil has
gained ground in Massachusetts, the
cans which used 70 attain an average
weight Of four pounds now rarely weigh
over two pounds.
The Ohio experiment station has as
certained that seed exposed 10 heat of

Larvae Of the bean weevil and may pos
sibly terminate if planted.
The green lettuce worm, the radish
fly, the cabbage worm, the lightning
rod worm, the celery worm, the corn or
boil worm, the cucumber beetle, the cut
worm, the flea beetle, the onion mag
got, the May beetle, the onion fly and
the parsley worm are few of the farm
er's friends; also the dew weevil and its
enemy, the dogood.
Snails are voracious enemies of the
garden, and Mr.. Greiner says that the
only way 10 deal with them is to scatter
pieces of orange peel on the ground at
night, and in the morning one can, #
very active, capture the snail, which is so
fond Of the orange peel that it forgets TO
go home TO its family for breakfast, and
thus may be headed off and run down
by brisk man.
We need hardly mention the squash
vine borer, the squash bug, the wire
worm or the unearned increment, all Of
which are the enemies of the farmer and
the gardener.
Let us strive against these foes and
seek intelligently TO eat more good vege-
tables at home instead Of saving for our
families only those articles which the
rich, the pampered ana the sedentary
refuse TO buy.

The Poet Moore and HIS Mother;

The Youths Comyanion has recent.
lv paid tribute to the poet worthy OF
being read, not only wherever his
songs are known, but wherever moth
ers and children exist:
Even when his songs and poems
had made him famous, and his socie-
ty was sought by England's highest
and best, he used to write to her his
mother] twice week. He told her Of
every thing that interested him, from
the purchase Of pocket handker-
chief to his introduction to the Prince
of Wales and his visit to Niagara.
He writes at the conclusion of one
letter: You, dear mother, can see
neither frivolity nor egotism in these
details, knowing that nothing is un-
interesting to mother that concerns
her son."
Let those sons who do not write to
their mothers at all, and those who
write at such rare intervals and in
such hurried way as to exhibit no
real interest, from this poet of humor
and pathos learn duty which all
right feeling persons would regard as a
privilege.

ChiIdren's Throat Troubles.

A child who has always had its own
way is not likely to he willing to give
it UP when it j. ailing and miserable,
writes Elizabeth Robinson Scovil in a
valuable article entitled Ladies' Home
Journal. Brides and entreaties are OF
little use then. The wayward will,
unused to discipline, is on y strength
ened by the weakness and WEAKNESS
of the body. A wise physician said
to me not long since that he had
known cases where children's lives had
been sacrificed because they had not
been taught to obey. No doubt any
doctor of wide experience could con
firm this statement. Is not this fact
to make mothers ask themselves: IA m
I preparing my child for sickness as
well as health? If not, what can I do
toward it now, before it is too late?"
Ii is usually in diseases of the throat
that the greatest difficulty is found IN
inducing the child to submit to treat
ment. In diptheria and scarlet fever
it is sometimes impossible to make any
application to the tonsils, either with
spray or brush, with out so exciting
and frightening the poor little patient
that the consequent exhaustion tells
sadly against its chances of recoV'
cry. ,,
Accustom a child to open its mouth
and have its throat examined. 1t can
be done playfully. giving a sugar-plum
as a reward when ''mother can see way
down his throat" The little one will
never suspect that he is acquiring a
habit which may save his life.
