soapsuds For the Crops.

Soapsuds are to be had on all farms,
al wash days occur everywhere. They
are usually thrown away, but can be
used with advantage on the rows OF
celery and asparagus. If thrown around
the peach trees, SO as to soak down
to the roots Tor the soil loosened for
that purpose), they will destroy the lar
vac of insects which sometimes dam
age the trees at the roots.

Benefit from Smudges.

A curious bit of adaptation to cir
cumstances may be seen in summer
among the cattle of the swamp lands
along the Mississippi. From July to
mid-September Understanding insects
mosquitoes. flies, gnats and so on
are SO bad their cattle are sometimes
in danger of their lives. So are people
unless they make smudges-th that is to
say, fires so thickly smothered they fill
the air with clouds of smOke-and thus
drive away the pests. The cattle soon
learn the use and value of the smudges.
