our tomato fields OF the plants put
out ia the day we lost % per cent la
the night We tried, manipulating
every morning, bat with unsatisfac-
tory results. To wage successful war
we took tobacco stems, cut jim half
inch lengths. After the soil had been
cleared away from the stem of the
plants to a depth of half an inch, a
small quantity of tobacco was taken
between the flngers and thumb and
placed round the stem of the plants
and the soil replaced over the tobacco
to the depth of from @ne-f0urth to-
One-half an inch. The juices of the
tobacco, saturating the soil, made it
very obnoxious to the cutwGrm, and
thus protected the plants from its
ravages. Out 0f 700 plants so treated
only one was destroyd 10y the worm
after the tobacco was applied. But
wherever the leaf of the plants
touched the ground at distance
from the tobacco it was attacked by
thecutworm and cutoff The amount
of tobacco placed around each plant
was about One-half ounce. The total
cost of the experiment on the 1853
plants was so cents for tobacco and
81 for labor. Altogether the expert
ment was entirely satisfactory, it
will he understood that the treat
ment was not pursued with IA view of
destroying the worm, hut simply to
protect the plants. This method is
highly recommended. Bulletin ID,

II one expects TO shell the corn Tor
for feeding or for market, providing
one is sure of good seed and that the
ground is not so foul as to require
narrowing during the first two weeks
after the young corn is out OF the
ground to keep down the weeds. II
the corn is to be cut and shocked into
fodder and fed TO cattle without husk-
ing. three stalks in the hill are more
satisfactory. Three thousand hills
would produce sixty bushels OF $50
ears each to the acre. The stalks
would be finer, too, and would furnish
a greater quantity and better quality
OF fodder for feeding purposes. There
are cases where the unsoundness of
seed and foulness of the ground, with
insufficient time to harrow it thor
oughly before planting, necessitates
persistent narrowing to suppress the
weeds while the young stalks are
shooting from the ground, and this
makes it advisable to plant three
grains TO the hill for growing corn
for Smelling, and four grains for pro-
duction of fodder corn. Orange Judd

The Excretory Organs.

The excretory organs consist Of the
lungs, the kidneys, and the skin. The
lungs remove the carbonic acid from
the blood, the kidneys take the uric
acid from the blood, and the skin re-
moves the surplus water and at the
same time assists the lungs in remov-
ing the carbonic acid. Now IL the
skin be suddenly chilled, the small
pores through which the water has
been oozing are suddenly closed. The
work is then thrown upon the lungs
and kidneys. II large portion Of the
skin is thus affected, the Kidneys re-
fuse TO perform their Office, and, in
common language, "the cold settles
upon the kidneys, land the result is that
all the work Of purifying the blood has
to be done by the lungs, and il this is
prolonged for any length OF time they
break down, and the result is pneu-

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.
About seeds.

Many farmers have an exceedingly
bad habit in regard to their annual
supply of seeds. They wait until
spring is upon them and then go to
town and buy from their grocer a
quantity Of whatever sorts he happens
70 have. These may or may not be
good. One thing is certain, they can
not thus keep abreast with the pro-
gress I'm the agricultural world. As
a rule, reliable dealers do not sell
their goods on commission in this
way Nothing is saved 10y buying
cheap seed. Nearly adj dealers send
their catalogues free and thus you can
not only have many kinds to select
from, but often valuable information
is given as TO varieties or methods of
cultivation. 1t is a good plan, In
some cases, to save ones own seeds.
When this is done, only the very best
and earliest specimens should he used.
Unless this is rigorous practice, de-
terioration will certainly follow. For
certain kinds, the seed-growers have
so much better advantages for saving
the best seed that it pays to buy of
them. A young man recently tried
to get a club for seeds, buG in many
instances was met by the response
that they could get them cheaper.
II some Of these cheap seeds should
fall to grow, very likely it will be be-
cause the moon was not in the right
quarter.

CRUST FOR TARTs.-Rub one tea
cupful of lard into three teacupfuls
OF flour and pinch of salt Beat the
white Of one. egg slightly, add five
tablespoonfuls OF water to IL, and mix
it into the -four. Do not mix more
than necessary, and it will be fiaky

butter, pour the beaten. eggs into it,
and fry it till it is of fine brown on
the under side, then lap one-half over
the over, and serve it hot Just be-
fore you lap it, sprinkle little salt
and pepper over the top. Chopped
parsley or onion may be mixed with
the egg before it is fried.
ENGLISH PUDDING (HoUR).-One
pound each of currants, raisins (stoned)
and suet, one-half pound of citron,
one cupful of molases, one pint of
boiling milk, one scant teaspoonful
each of cinnamon, allspice and salt,
one-half teaspoonful Of Glove, the
same OF soda and one nutmeg; six
eggs, reserving one white for sauce.
Boil six hours. Add flour to stiffen, so
that fork will stand upright in the
mixture.
BEEF TEA. in small pieces two
pounds weight of fresh, lean beef,
add three pints Of cold water, when
on the eve Of boiling, carefully remove
the scum, the moment it boils add
pint of cold water then let it boil up
again and remove the scum as before
If by this time it is not perfectly
clear, the same quantity OF water may
be added the second time, which
will cause more scum to rise. The
same remarks apply to all other broths
and gravies, which will always be
transparent and finely favored if the
same rule be observed. Beef tea
should be allowed to simmer not less
than three-quarters OF an hour and
not more than one hour from the
time it is last skinned.

Keeping Butter

Now that it is pretty wen estab-
lished that it is the traces OF caseine
and albumen ia butter that spoil, not
the butter fats, the chief condition of
making butter that will keep is to
tirst ch0rn cream that IS just begin
ming to turn acid, not sour, and wash
out the buttermilk while the butter
is la the granular stage. Flavor can
not he washed out of butter if the
water is pure, and at 50 : degrees in
any reasonable number OF times, but
buttermilk flavor can; hence some say
the flavor is gone, as they confound
the one for the true davor. 1t is
best TO add water to the churn before
attempting.to remove any of the but
termilk. III two quarts of weak brine
as added to the cream just before it
begins TO "sbreak," the separation
will be all the more complete. When
washing the butter, add Il little salt
each time. When worked over, set
the butter In cool place where the
temperature changes as little as pos
Sible and the butter itself excluded
from the air. Butter should be
worked down fairly dry for long
keeping, yet worked as little as posi-
BILE while doing it. Press out the
water rather than attempt TO work it
out, which in other words, is to work
the buttermilk in and salye the
product.
