Pitting Bug Against Buy.


Some time since the State Board
horticulture, of California, imported
some Australian lady bugs with the de-
sign pitting them against the black
scale bug, which has been creating
great havoc i'll the orchards in the
southern part of the State for some
years. The board announced last
week that the lady bug has proved a
perfect success in its work of exter-
minating the black scale bug, and
colonies will be sent out to orchardists,
who will turn them loose on the COM
mon enemy. The board is also cult.

BREEDING YOUNG sows.

1t is undoubtedly true that fully
grown sows are the best breeders.
These will produce large filters of
thrifty, long-bodied and growing pigs.
Young sows have fewer pigs in litter
and cannot give them so good frame
to put fat and growth upon. Yet un-
less sows are bred young the tendency
to make fat rather than milk will be-
come so established that it cannot be
reversed. The difficulty may be got
over by breeding sows young, taking
their pigs from them when six weeks
old, and fattening the first litter early
without breeding from them. If diet
OF milk and wheat middlings is fed to
young breeding sows they will grow
very rapidly and will not fatten. This
diet also is excellent for producing
thrifty pigs, no matter what may be
the age of the dam. While bearing
their young, sows become very vora-
cious caters, and their digestive organs
are strengthened by unusual demands
upon them. 1t is this that makes sows
fatten SO easily if rich, fattening foods
are given them. When not bearing
young, milk and wheat middlings are
too nutritious food. A diet of clover
in summer and of beetroots, with very
little milk and wheat middlings, is
much better. -Boston Cultivator.

President H. S. Haines, of the Amer
lean Railway Association, says that
gradually the rate of wages OF railway
employees has been raised until now
the percentage of payrolls to total op.
Grating expenses is higher than ever
before. Sixty per cent. of the rail
roads pay no dividends, and there is
no hope of change for the better
until the rate per ton-mile increases,
or the cost per ton-mile decreases.

AMpIrIoNls TRAIL,

II all tho end OF this continuous striving
were simply to attain,
How poor would seem the planning and con-
irving,
The endless urging and the hurried driving,
Ofbody, heart and brain!
But ever in the wake of truo achieving,
There shines this glowing trailS
Some other soul will DO spurrod on, con-
ceiving
New power and strength, in It's own self be-
Loving
Because thoa didst not full.
Not thino alone the glory nor the SORROW
If thou dost miss the goal
Undreamed Of lives In many far to. morrow,
From thee their weakness, or their force
shall borrow;

cARBoNATED ALKALIEs.

Among the important purposes which
the fixed alkalies (soda and potash)
serve i'll reference to vegetation, they
dissolve vegetable matter and carry it
into tho roots-that it may form solu-
bic silicates, and thus supply the
necessary siliceous matter to the stems
OF the grasses and other plants-aud
that rising, rs it naturally does, to the
surface of the soil, it there, in the
presence of vegetable matter, pro-
vokes the formation OF nitrates, SD
wholesome to vegetable life.
Soda and potash, in the form of car
donates, act bcneticially upon vegcta-
ton by preparing the organic matter
of the soil for entering into the roots
of plants, and thus administering to
their growth.
This preparation may be effected
either by their combination directly
with the organic matter, as they are
known to do with the humic and Other
acids which exist in the soil, or by
their disposal of this organic matter,
at the expense of air and moisture, to
form new chemical compounds, which
shall be capable of entering into the
vegetable circulation.
This disposing influence of the aka
lies, and even of lime, is fauiliar to
chemists under many other circum
stances. This mode of action of the
carbonates of soda and polish can b,
exercised in its fullest extent only when
vegetable matter abounds in the soil.

This year surpasses any che in the
history for railroad accidents. From
November, 1892, to November, 1893
2316 persons have been killed on the
railroads, and 1000 persons have been
MANNED and crippled. These figures
include those persons who have met
with accidents on street railways, and
there are over 200 of them in the
United States, Brooklyn heading the
list with fifteen persons killed on the
surface track alone. The greatest
accidents in which this country WINS
concerned were the loss of three or
four Transatlantic steamers. 1t has
been year of great mourning, for
the loss of lives and the financial panic
have made it one Of general suffering.
But, in spite of the fact that it has
been year of SO great sorrow, trial
and sacrifice, it has been without any
great Religious reyivals. They are
