A New York correspondent of Rural
New Yorker writes:
Were I to harrow wheat I would do
it just as soon after the frost was out OF
the ground as I could drive the horses
over the land without punching it all
up with their feet. would sow clover
seed before narrowing. Iwould not SOW
the clover seed in March, for instance,
if I could not harrow until April 1t
has not been found advisable for US in
western New York to harrow wheat at
all, as our crops are proving satisfacto-
~. We are not troubled with heaving
to any extent, and our land is SO full of
available fertility that we are invaria-
bly, sure of good catch of clover seed.

folding up it's legs and antennae and
feigning DEATH AS general thing the
beetles begin to appear i'll the fall, and
continue to issue, in heated houses,
throughout the winter and following
spring. The beetles are day-fiers, and |
when not engaged in egg-laying are at
tracted to light. They fly to the win
dows, and may often be found upon the
sills or panes. Where they can fly out
through an open window they do SO and |
are strongly attracted to certain plants
and flowers.
Carpets once put down are seldom |
taken up for year, and in the mean |
time the insect develops uninterruptedly. |
Where polished floors and rugs are used,
or straw mating and rugs, the rugs are
often taken up and beaten.
1t is well known TACT that the carpet
habit is a bad one from other points of |
view, and there is little doubt that if
carpets were more generally discarded In
our Northern States, the Buffalo bug"
would cease to be the prominent house
hold pest that it is today.
When the carpet beetle has once taken
|
possession of a house nothing but the
most thorough and long continued
measures will eradicate it.
Two house cleanings would be better
than one, and if but one, it would be
better to undertake it in midsummer
than at any other time of the year.
Where convenience or conservatism de-
mands an adherence to the old custom,
however, we have simply to insist upon
extreme thoroughness and slight varia-
ton in the customary methods. The
rooms should be attended to one or two
at time. The carpets should be taken
up, Thoroughly beaten and sprayed out
of doors with benzine, and allowed to air
for several hours. The rooms them
selves should be thoroughly swept and
busted, the floors washed down with
hot water, the cracks carefully cleaned
out. and kerosene or benzine poured into
the cracks and sprayed under the base
boards. The extreme in6ammahility of
benZine, and evea of its vapor when COLI
fined, should be remem bered and fire
| carefully guarded against. Where the
floors are poorly constructed aud the
cracks are wide. it will he good idea.
to fill the cracks with plaster OF paris in
a liquid state; this will afterwards set
and lessen the number of harboring places
for the insect. When the carpet is relald
it will be we'll to tack it down rather
lightly SO that it can be occasionally
lifted at the edges, and examined for the
presence of the insects. Later in the
season, if such an examination shows the
insect to have made it's appearance,
good, though somewhat laborious RENE
dy, consists in laying a damp cloth
smoothly over the suspected spot of the
carpet and ironing it with hot iron.
The steam thus generated will pass
through the carpet and kill the insects
Immediately beneath it. These strenuous
measures, if persisted in, are the only
hope of the good housekeepe SO long as
the system of heavy carpets covering the
entire floor surface is adhered ton f.

Margaret Bottome in the March Indies

posite an Episcopal church she had been
una bic to attend any of its services, as
her strength was not sufficient to per-
nit her to sit through them. When at
last the doctor said he thought she was
strong enough to take drive, being OF
moderate means she could not afford the
luxury, and she told me that Sunday
after Sunday she would sit at the WIN
dow of her room and see the women step
from their carriages into the church,
and the horses stand at the chucrh door
until the service was over. She said to
me, No one can imagine the longing
had just to have little drive while the
owners of the horses were at church
and since | have been able to return to
my work have thought again and again
why could there not be a Carriage Circle
of the Kings Daughter in every church,
and let it be the object of these Circles
to fiGd some invalid woman connected
with the church who would like to

unable to afford ths luxury OF carriage

TALES OF TIE TIMES.
The Strange Place In Which a woman's
 M Purse Was Found.


 Mrs Jacob Darue, living a few miles north of Canandaigua, drove to town to do some trading accompanied by her chil- dren. She made number of purchases, but when she sought her pocketbook 1t eollld not be found. She hastenod to tho spot where the horse was hitehed and made a thorough investigation of the ground, the carriage, and even the young sters were given an overhauling. Mrs. Darue was positive she had placed the purse in her pocket just before leaving the carriage, and its complete disappearance was ample grounds for her anxious atti tutie. The search, augmented by clerks and bystanders, was continued with fruit less result and finally abandoned. She had proceeded but short distance, when a slight lamenoss was visible in the horse she was driving Instead of passing off, it increased until Mrs. Darue became alarmed. She stopped and alighted from tho carriage, and at her command the horse raised tho apparently injured mem- Der. Mrs. Daruo's surprise can better be imagined than described when she found, firmly imbcddcd in tho hollow of the horses hoof, the missing purse. It was re- moved without difficulty, and tho family horse established gait from there home which indicated that the discovery was as pleasing to him as to tho owner of the purse Mrs. Darue believes that in alight- ing from the carriage the purse fell from her dress and under the horses foot. Tbe purse contained about So0.-Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
