Wormy Apple.
The cine of applet falling off while In
n immature mala is tlin prcenco of the
roillin prul) or lrv.c of tho rodlin moth.
This insect Is becoming fur more do
etnirtive to tho apple crop in this coun
try than even in Kurope, of which it is
supposed to be a native. Tho moths us
ually appear toon after the apple trees
have blossomed in the spring, flying
about the trees in tho evening, and de-
Iiositing their eggs one by one in the
)loso.Ti end of the fruit. The eggs soon
hatch ind the grubs bore their way Into
the yo.ing apples, thus causing them to
fall off. Mo pra"tical mode of prevent
ing the attacks of this insect hns yet
been discovered, but if all wormy fruit
is gathered up and fed to hogs or other
wise destroyed during the summer, the
pest will rarely become so abundant as to
cause all the fruit to drop off before ma
turing. Few York Sun.
The Pratrnctlon of Molea.
A correspondent of the Southern
P.'autrr writes : The last number of your
journal contains a letter from J. II. Kiley,
Esq., of Onancock, asking for a mole
remedy.
If Mr. Riley will insert in the mole
tracks or burrows asullicient number of
bits of raw beef soaked in a solution of
ttrychnine he will never see another
track.
Five years ago I was much annored bv
them and poisoned them as above, since
which time I have never sicn any si"u of

mem on wie place.
There is no doubt about the mole being j
a useful animal. It subsists mainly on I
grubs and worms, destroying vast num- j
bers of cutworms and other enemies to
vegetation. They may have taken a ;
little toll from Mr. H. s potato field, but -
I expect the greater damage was done by !
ground mice using the tunnels of the
molet to get at them.

Mixing Fertilizers.
Many farmers are not sufficiently care
ful to have their fertilizers thoroughly hav, sure, and more under favorable con
mixed with the soil, savsan agricultural ditions. The fodder corn and hay wasted
exchange. Three hundred or" four hun- 1
dred pounds per acre is a very small
quantity to go over 4;t,")G0 square feet;
it is about one ounce to eight or nine
square feet. An ounce is a very small
handful, and if this small quantity is ;
not quite evenly spread over a square '
jam, iue eiieci oi me fertilizer is more
or less missed or diverted from its mir
pose. We have seen fertilizers so care
lessly spread that a large handful was
thrown in a solid lumi) here and there
without any regular, ty. Having given I
a pailful to an incredulous neighbor to !
try in his garden, this man applied the I
whole to one row of peas, and, of course, i
killed every plant. But the adjoin'ng
rows more than made up for the lo-s, and
tho result taught a most useful le-son,
and this farmer now uses several tons
yearly in his market garden and farm.
The safe plan ia to spread one-half the
fi-ryy-cr rlirw'tly before the harrowing
on uie plowed ground this is for spring
sown crops and tho other half on the
suriaee as soon as the seed is harrowed in
or planted. Hill fertilizing is open to
several objections and i lsks. Never use
luperphosphate.or other mixed fertilizer
land has been limed, ami on limestone

land only when the crop is able to make
the most use of it. Lastly, it it better to
use 40U pounds to one 'acre than 200
pounds per acre ou two. !
Use of Coal Ashes.
Gn thrs'ubject of the use of coal ashes
a New York Tri'une correspondent savs:
Probably coal ashes have little other than
a mechanical effect. They render clay
more divisible, and so more permeable
to the air. But the air must not enter
the soil in storms, but have, as it were,
only a slow but constant infiltration,
saudy toil is apt to admit it with its
caustic qualities more freely than the
roots can endure. The fine sifted ashes
correct this by filling the inteisiicles;
and so benefit in both cases.
livery thing grows well under a mulch
of coul ashes provided that the plant
leaves are not covered.and that the ushes
be stirred after rains during the growing
season. Without this they pack so as to
exclude the air too much. In planting
the seeds, we cover them with sod
that is open and friable or with leaf
mould, as our soil is heavy and
toon packs. We have tried coal
ashes several times, thinking that the
young seedlings might easily push their
lumpy heads (their cotyledons) through
the easily broken inch of ashes. But the
effect has always been bad; very rarely
a plant appeared through such a cover
ing. The cause is apparently too close
an exclusion ot air, win h h indiiqiensa
ble at the moment of germination iu free
supply.
Coal allies are a great benefit to crass
when strewn on very earlv in the si. ring,
They allow the sharp points of the gra-s-spruuts
to pierce through nnd largely
preset ve coolness and moisture lo"the
roots, while they effectually smother all
tlut lealcd intruders and mosses. In fact,
somatiyure tho us.-s aud real v.ilue t '
this material, which accumulates about
ull our houses during every u inter, that
one sees with regret so much of it wheeled
away in the spring to be dumped into
any hole or coi ner where it will be out of
sight It should be sifted as taken from
the fires, both to save the halt-burnt
coals for night dies, au l the exhausted
cinder for path und mud making, and for
th manifold beneticiul uses of the tiuer

Unc who professes to know practical
ly whereof he speaks tells us that poultry
for tlio table, to be set at its best, should
be fattened quickly. One of the best
fat telling properties, ho adds, will bo
found in milk in almost any stage from
sweet to clabber. It should be fed in
connection with plenty of grain. C hick

ing upon the roost, also saiili our expe

A horse should not be allowed to drink
freely immediately after eating. Hon.
John M. Hussell, ex-Secretary of the
Massachusetts Hoard of Agriculture, tells
of seeing some horses in France fed on
coarse Leans then watered all they Would

quantity of beans had been washed out
of the stomach, and some of them were
found in the intestines.

CHAPPED hands result from two causes. Too much alkali in the
soap, which draws the natural oil from the skin, leaving it harsh,
dry, and liable to crack, or the fats, from which the soap is made,
are not properly combined with the alkali, so, from its greasy nature,
it is impossible to rinse off the soap after washing. Prof. Leeds,
Ph. D., Stevens Institution of Technology, says: "The IvorvSoap,
while strongly cleansing, leaves the skin soft and pleasant to the
touch, instead of harsh, uncomfortabe, and liable to chap."

Inherited DtteMei.
In the realm of disease, the fact of In
heritance are most numerous, and are
daily accumulating. Here they are no
longer, alas, curious and amusing, but
terrible, fateful, overwhelming. No fact
of nature is more pregnant with awful
meaning than the fact of the inheritance
of disease. It meets the physician on
his dady rounds, paralyzing hit art, nnd
filling him with sadness. The legend
of the ancic (ireeks pictured the ma
lignant. furii s pursuing families from
generation to generation, and rendoring
them desolate. Tho furict still ply their
work of terror and death; but we have
ttripped them of tho garb which super
ttitution threw around them, and they
now appear to our eyes in the more intel
ligible lint not less awful form of hered
itary disease. Modern tcience, which
has cast illumina i into to many dark
corners of nature, ims shed a new and
still more lurid light on the words of the
Hebrew Script ire: "The tins of the
fathers shall bo visited upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation."
Instances of heieditary disease abound on
every hand. Fully titty per cent, of
cases of gout are inherited. The propor
tion is not much less in thst fell destroyer
of families, our national ecourge, con
sumption. Cancer and scrofula run
strongly in families. Insanity it hered
itary to a marked degree; but fortunately,
like many other hereditary diseases,
tends to wear itself out, the stock bo
coming extinct. Nearly all defects of
sight are occasionally inherited. Sir
Henry Holland snys truly that "no organ
or texture of the body is exempt from
the chance of being tho subject of hered
itary disease." Probably most chronic
diseases which permanently modify the
structure and functions of tho body aro
more or less liable to be inherited.-
