Oil to kill Insects.
Many years ago we were interested in
some experiments made by some medical
students on the destruction of insect life
by oil. The slightest drop of sweet oil put
on the back of a hornet, beetle, bee or simi
lar thing, caused its instant destruction.—
We were told the breathing pores were
dosed by the oil, and life was literally
smothered out. Iu after life greasy water
was always a favorite mode with us of de
stroying iusects —and we have rep atedly
urged it upon the readers of this journal. —
Yet we are astonished to find how little the
hint has been acted on. Almost every day
we meet people who ask how to destroy
this insect or that, and our drawers is fill
ed with similar inquiries ; and to all the
idea of of grease or oil seems as new a one
as if we had kept the matter a most pro
found secret.
Of tbe millions of people in the United
States, how lew are there who would not
"give any thing," as they say, to know how
to keep away the cabbage fly from their
seed beds—yet about a tablespoouful of*
coal oil put in a common garden water-pot
of water, sprinkled over the seed bed,when
the little jumping beetle is noticed as hav
ing appeared, will instantly destroy the
whole brood.
In short, we have no doubt that coal oil,
well diluted with water, is death to all
kinds of insects,and there is uo reason why
it should not be in as general use as tobac
co is for killing aphides—more valuable in
fact, because it cau be applied iu so many
cases where smoke cannot.
One great point in favor of coal oil is, that
it acts as a manure to vegetation, while
dealing out death to insects. We have
seen cabbage beds nearly destroyed by tbe
cabbage fly, have the whole crop of beetles
destroyed almost instantaneously, while in
a few days afterwards the plants, as if by
magic, would cover the bed with luxuriant
leaves.
We may add that any oil is as good as
coal oil, but that being likely to be more
easily obtained when wanted, is recomen
ded ; also care must be used to keep the
water in the pot stirred, when used,so that
a portion of the oil gets out as the water
runs—otherwise the oil floating on the top
of the water will stay there till all the wa
ter goes out, and only the oil be left for the
last. For this reason a syringe, in many
cases will be preferrable to the water-pot,
as the oil and water will have a better
chance of getting out.— Gardner's Month

Preparation of Wheat for Sowing.
Adjust the fanni ig-mill to give a light
shake, and heavy blast, and put in the
screen-board to carry the grain outward, to
drop within three or four inches of the end
of the coarse screen, which will allow all
the small kernels and seed of various weeds
to fall into the screen-box. The wheat sieve
should be set in slanting gaius.for carrying
oil' the oats and other foreign matters. Most
of the light wheat will also be blown over
as well as that which goes iuto the screen
box, will make good flour, but is not good
for seed. If the oats be not all blown out
of the seed at first, a wheat sieve of perfo
rated zinc, or pressed wire cloth, must be
put in the slanting gains, the screen-board
removed, and the seed run through again,
with light shake,and slow feed. The holes
of the perforated zinc, or meshes of wire
cloth, should be large enough to allow the
wheat to pass through. Then, if the shoe
of the mill he adjusted to shake level, the
remaining kernels of heavy oats will slide
over the holes, and fall beyond the sieve.
By this means, all the lialf-ripe and shrunk
en kernels, not fit for seed, will be separa
ted from the larger ones, which will pro
duce earlier and better grain. These di
rections are applicable to those farmers
who have nothing hut an ordinary fanning
mill. In some of the improved grain-sepa
rators, with only once running through,
nearly every kernel of oats will pass over
the screen, while the wheat will be neatly
assorted and dropped into four different
boxes, the largest kernels, most suitable
fir seed, being deposited in the first box,
and the smallest in the fourth box. Ilalfa
barrel will be needed to pickle as little as
four or five bushels of grain, but, of course,
would answer for much more, and to this
quantity add half a pound of blue vitiiul
{sidjfiate of copper). A portion is done at
a time, stirring it well, and skimming off
all that floats, foul stuff, smutty grain, etc.
As fast as each portion is soaked, throw it
out into a basket to drain. The pickling
should be done 4 to 2 hours before sow
ing. Just previous to sowing, the grain
should be spread out upon a clean floor and
rolled in lime slacked to a dry powder,
stirring the heap with rakes. Wheat should
always be drilled in where this is practica
ble.—Selected.
Common Salt as a Manure.
Our fanners do not seem to set enough
value on common salt as a manure to top
dressing for their crops ; there are few
crops which will not be benefitted by it in
some way or other, though it is said to be
injurious to the growth of tlax or hemp-
Upon all our common crops it has been
fried and has usually been found to be ben
eficial, but we still hear conflicting state
ments as to it- value. No doubt there have
been cases where it has been successful,and
of these we are very apt to hear, to the ex
clusion of more successful ones.
It has heed found to produce little or no
( fleet near the sea-shore : this is supposed
to be owing to the fact that the soil already
contains enough of tho two constituents of
common salt to supply the wants of vege
tation,and hence an application of it makes
little or no show. If on the other hand the
soil does not contain enough of these ele
ments to support overgrowing growth in
the crops,an addition of a small amount per
acre will often produce a surprising effect.
In one case in Kngland six bushels sown
broadcast per acre, doubled the crop of
wheat ; in another case upon the same farm,
that portion of the field net top-dressed with
salt produced twelve bushels of wheat per
acre, while that which received a top-dres
sing of salt at tiie rate of five bushels per
acie yielding tire at y-eight and three-.ueirter
hit .diets.
In another case at Aske Hall, an appli
cation of five bushels per acre to grass or
hay increased the latter from two tons and
a half per acre to three tons and three quar
ters.
One cause of failures in the application
of salt as a manure may he traced to pla
cing too gnat dependence in it ; a second
application t > tie same field for an ensuing
crop, will often and generally produce no
v.sible elite:, and from this cause the use
salt is often condemned.
Nor will it do to substitute it for barn
yard manure an has been proved by experi
ment out when applied in conjunction
