CUTWORMs.-The are five or six
different species of cutworms, some OF
which ascend trees and shrubs and
devour the foliage. The cutworm that
is the special aversion of the gardener
works at or near the surface of the
soil. All cutworms are larvae of night
flying moths. The pest of the garden
is night-worker. and generally invisi'
BILE in daytime. He does his worst
mischief in the spring of the second
year of his existence, having passed
the previous winter hibernating, half
grown, in the ground. No green and
growing thing is secure from its raven
Gus appetite. Some advise destroying
the worms by scattering about various
kinds of poisoned bats. A strong OBJ
lection to this is that birds may also
eat the bats, or the poisoned worms.
a good and safe way to protect such
plants as tomatoes, cabbages, and the
like, is to place bands of stiff paper
around them when they are set out,
While this is some trouble in field cul-
tivation on large scale, it requires
little time to thus inclose choice plants
in garden, and affords perfect pro-
lection against the cut worm.

JUTE AND TIE TRUSTS Bob UF
AGAIN.-The cotton planters Of the
south may again have TO resort to
cotton sheeting as a covering for their
cotton, and to seek some substitute for
lies to hold the bales in shape. These
needful supplies are now entirely con-
trolled by the trusts. Last year there
were half dozen competitors in each
line. This year there is none. One
concern has absolute control of all the
bagging in the country, and another
has absolute control of the ties.-An.

RAISING TURKEYS,

In breeds nothing has been found
which surpasses the Mammoth Bronze.
They are product of the wild male
turkey and the domesticated female of
New England, resembling more nearly
the wild parent. A few strains of this
breed are very desirable in flock, and
as the blood is so widely distributed, it
is not difficult or expensive to obtain
it. Turkeys begin to lay some time in
April. The nest is usually found be-
meath some hedge near the house, or
the turkey hen frequently lays in the
chicken house. In raising turkeys,
the common hen makes better moth
er than does the hen turkey, the reason
being that the young turkeys are too
delicate to withstand the hardships
which are sure to be imposed upon
the mother turkey.
After the first laying is completed,
confine the turkey hen in a place with
plenty of fresh water. In a short
time she will forget her inclination to
sit and be ready for another laying.
Some successful breeders have their
turkeys lay three times during the
summer and allow them to rear the
last brood. For common hen, nine
eggs are sufficient for sitting. Throw
handful of lime or sulphur in the
bottom Of the nest. This will drive
away mites and the gray louise. AS a
rule turkey eggs hatch we'll. The
first dose that my little turkeys receive
is a pill in the shape of one whole
black pepper. Each little mouth is
forced open and the pepper pressed
down. l do not know just how the
pepper acts upon the system, but it
certainly is good for the young turkeys.
The first food for young turkeys is
Dutch or cottage cheese and their first
drink the whey which is strained from
the curd. Many people think that the
making of this cheese is quite task !;
but it is in reality very simple. Let
the curd strain through colander and
feed little at a time at intervals OF
not more than one and one.half hours.
This should be their sole food for two
or three days. After this the diet may
be changed 10 stale bread, soaked in
whey or buttermilk. Boiled eggs are
also very valuable. The cheese, how
ever, should be the principal food until
the fowls are month old. An ad-
dition of little pepper and oil cake
meal is desirable. Corn meal in any
form is almost sure death.
The hen should be confined in a
clean coop with the Stats far enough
apart to allow the turkeys to pass
freely in and out. Move the coop
every day and keep everything dry, as
moisture is fatal. After the grass is
thoroughly dry in the morning, turn
the hens out for an hour or two each
day and allow the brood run but
they must not be given complete
liberty until two or three weeks old:
1 have always thought that the deli
cacy of young turkeys is due in a
measure to the rapidity with which
feathers are grown but young tur-
key begins at once to put out large
feathers on its wings and tail. This
enormous feather growth saps the
vitality of the body and leaves it an
easy prey to weakness and disease.
TO overcome this tendency should be
the aim of every breeder.-Orange
Judd Farmer.

PUTTING Away CLOTlIING.- Never
put winter clothing away with any
soiled spots on them. Scour them all
out. When all the clothing are beaten
thoroughly and brushed and cleaned,
fold each article separately, and with
care as to folding. Then see that the
chests are absolutely tight, that there
are no cracks in them anywhere. II
there are, paste newspaper over The
cracks and see that there Is not even
the smallest crevice for the moths to
enter, for if there is one they will
surely find it. Wrap up each article
separately, either in old sheets or old
towels or in papers: see to it that
they are absolutely clean.

does not agree in its totals, probably for
the reason that the technical adjustment
of the accounts Of the two consolidating
institutions has thrown IL out OF bal

and deposits can be traced 10 this cause
The principal feature OF interest disclosed
By exhibit is the gain Of about "a
10000 in cash. which resulted from oD-
erati0ns with the sub-treasury and the
interior. The increase vas not as large
as was anticipated and its effect was lost
in part in the gain Of S, -. 100 in GeDos-
its, the latter returning an added reserve
of over 100000. Loans are 500 30

Chicago. April 8.-After passing an IN
usually dull day the board OF trade mar.
kets closed at slight declines all round
There was little interest taken in the
trade. Wheat closed 1$atc to Aq%c
corn &c and oats &c lower. Provisions
closed at a decline of 10 TO 121ac.
Wheat did not show any great strength
al the opening. Prices started a trife
higher than yesterdays close and the
feeling was steady. Liverpool cables were
trifie improved, but were not considered
as responsive IA the strength yesterday.
There was a fair disposition 10 buy, but
this disposition took shape in orders
which were scattered and generally IN
important. The anticipated decrease in
the visible Monday and the fact that
more attention is being paid 10 bull news
nowadays occasioned a spasmodic ad-
vance early, but somebody began sell
ing, presumably a long line, and the
puny bulge withered up and was blown
away. Liquidation was small, fact es-
pecialIy prominent by reason of the near
ness Of delivery day. a little export nib
bling was reported, and ignored. There
was little difficulty experienced in chang
ing options at a spread Of 15sc. New

heavy, while the whole session was re-
markabie for its lack OF action.
The corn market was duh, firm part of
the time, but closing easy. The only fea-
ture Of the day was the early demand

the demand was very slack and the price

Oats were weak, even when corn and

weather and the increased country offer

tivity in the trade the first hour, but
following that business was quiet. Re
ceipts were $50 cars. May Ac lower at

The provisions market was quiet,

Much Of the selling was in the way of

prices. The report for March Of the Le-
| high Valley finished the exhibit of I'M

| The bank statement, while a strong one,
according 10 the ordinary rules OF inter

preston. Preliminary reports of the
| large inflow Of currency from the interior
| were fully confirmed by the statement.
This movement, in view of the ease Of
| money at this center, gives force 10 the
suggestion that there is a falling off in
trade activity. This view, at all events,
was the keynote Of the dropping tenden-
cy of prices, TO which there were not SUI

The weeks increase Of loans IS IN
doubtedly largely due TO borrowing on
sterling collateral. Owing TO the cheap
ness Of money here and the relative dear
ness abroad, this operation is more prof
liable than drawing the exchange. This
operation, as well as the export Of gold
