A syphus mngjjotwith a pointed head,
says Mr. A. .1. Cook, of the Apriculturnl
College, Michigan, just revels in plnnt
lico. It seems never satiated, and it is
hard to understand how so small an in

lady-birds, and especially their larva? or
grubs, do signal service in the same di
rection. Several species of tho genus
Aphidius of the ichneumon family, very
miuuto parasites, destroy tho lice by the
thousands. Thus, plant-lice on outdoor
vegetation, which may threaten diie
mischief in tho spring, arc almost van
quished before summer corner. In somo
years, however, probably favored by
drought, the plant lice live out of pro
portion, nnd succeed in spito of their
enemies, when they do most serious in
jury. They are sometimes favored, too,
by misguided cultivators, who destroy
their enemies, mistaking them for mis
chievous insects. The aphides may bo
destroyed by tho kerosenc-nnd-soap
mixture, which consists of a quarter ol
a pound of hard soap or a quart of soft
soap, and a quart of water, heated till
the soap is dissolved, to which a pint ol
kerosene is added, and tho wholo agi

Fodder Crops for a. Small rieco ol
Ground.
Quite a lnrgc quantity of feed can be
' grown on a small lot. Cut oats when
just ripe, bind in small sheaves, allow to
stand in small shocks until the straw is
cured, then storo away in tho mow to be
fort out in tho bundle during the winter
months. They form an agreeablo va
riety, and a horse will cat them, straw
and all, with a relish. After the oats,
early potatoes nnd other vegetables aro
harvested, the ground may be sown to
millet, which in a fair season will make
a larjso ouantity of green feed. It
should all bo cut nnd fed or converted
into hay before seed forms. After the
millet is harvested tho ground may be
plowed and sown to rye, which will be
ready to cut for green feed in the spring
long before anything else. If tho land
is not needed for other crops, follow the
rye with onts and tho oats with millet. '
If tho soil is kept moderately rich, a
good crop of each is almost a certainty.
With this rotation an immense quautity
of green and dry horso-fecd can be
cheaply rown on a small patch of land,
nnd there will be no chance for weeds.
However small the lot somo carrots
should bo grown, to be stored in tho
cellar for feeding in winter and early
spring. For this purpose the Half-long
Stump-rooted is best, as it grows to a
good size, yields heavily and is not dilli
cult to harvest. It rarely pays to grow
corn for horse feed on a small lot. Imma
ture corn, cither green or cured, is not
good feed for horses. American Agri

Tho more cattle the more manure, tho

M'ith the many excellent insecticides
now known, insects should not bo al

As the farmer sees the wealth of blos
soms in his fruit orchard, he should bo
reminded that it reqires an enormous
amount of plant food of various kinds to
make the fruit mature.
The onion-bed should only be culti

Ordinary buttermilk is a valuable food

For the purposes of fodder you should '
sow two and one-half bushels oats and !
one and one-half bushels of peas to the j

will not cover tho peas well. They need
to be covered at least three inches deep.
V. I). Hoard, the Wisconsin dairy ;
editor, writes: L'uder no circumstances
would we run the risk of deliornii.g a
male or feuiiile in whom we placed uny
reliance for breeding or butter purpo-ts.
AVe believe farmers have goue into this
business, and especially dairymen, w ith
out Bullicient kuowledgo of its physio
logical etle: ts. Not one fanner in a hun
dred has ever made any study of the
machinery of butter production. How
should they know whe ther it is safe to
dehorn a dairy or butter cow i Yet they
drive ahead just as if they knew all
about the future of its effects.
The best time for killing a weed is
when the seed has just germinate 1. It
is comparatively innocent then. It has
done no harm as yet, and if destroyed in
its helpless infancy, all tho good it is
capable of doing by fertilizing the soil
will be utilized. There is no more
Juugeroua heresy iu fanning than tlie
idea that it is better to let the weeds
grow large, so us to have more green
manure to plow under. The extra growth
of annual weeds takes from the eurfucu
soil w here it is most needed, and is less
Miila')!e iu the weed thau it was iu the
oil before the weed took it.
Trimming Hoece,.
In regard to trimmintr roses, an ex
perienced cultivator advises tho readers
of the New York M'orhl, 1 lint when tho
buds have swelled sufficiently to show
their condition, tho plants should bo cut
back to thcnlumpost bud, cutting in the
weakest growers to within lour or six
buds nbovc the ground, particularly if
growing for exhibition purposes; if large
niooms arc not requited, tlio shoots may
be left longer. The strong growers must
ie lelt na long as sound buds nnd wood
will admit. Intersecting shoots should
also bo cut out so as to leave tho centre
of the plant with a free exposnro to tho
air ami sun, for it is among these short
stems that tho red spider and other pests
harbor in the summer. Another impor
tant point to remember a few weeks later
in the season is that for growing large
flowers certain amount of disbudding
must be practised. Around the central
flower bud w ill be noticed two or three
smaller buds, which mnt be removed to
throw the cntiro strength into the central
bud; then, if proper y cultivated, tho
single stem will carry a splendid flower.
Fit line Out Orchard.
In almost every orchard aro vacant
places caused by the death cf trees first
set. If this happens tho first year or
two, the vacant places may bo tilled, nnd
with a little extra care the later-set tree
will bo able to hold its own, nnd come
into bearing about as soon as its fellows.
Hut among older trees a vacant place
cannot so easily be lilled. There seems
to be room enough, but there is not.
Tho tops may not intermingle bv many
a yard, but close examination of the
soil shows that the riots of surrounding
rces nave interlaced throughout the
vacancy. Generally, if a young tree is
set among a lot of older ones, tho farmer
does Ins liest to befriend it. He digs a
deep, wido hole, partly rills it with
manure, covers with dirt, nnd sets his
tree over it. If it lives, it is a sickly,
precarious existence. All around it are
robber trees, whose roots Marled fortius
rich foraging ground as soon as it was
placed there. They establish themselves
til inly under the little tree. Perhaps the
latter, after a desperate strugglo of a
few years, yields a little fruit. It is
nature's effort to offset attempted de
struction by an unnatural stimulation of
tho means cf reproduction. Much the
better course, if a vacancy occurs in tho
orchard, is to till the vacant place with
manure, and omit the tree planting. Al
most all orchards aro too crowded, nnd
an occasional vacancy is really an ad
vantage. American Vultitator.
Tho Shape of Seed Corn.
Plumpness and weight are generally
regarded as important characteristics in
small seed grain. In very rich soil this
may not make so much difference, but
jdunip, full weight oits and barley will,
if other conditions are equal, give better
results than that which is somewhat
shriveled. Tho latter shows a lack of
tho material which nature stores in all
seed for nourishing the germ until the
root gets hold of the soil. It has not
been generally thought that this was im
portant in selecting grains of corn. Yet
it may be, and some experiments show
that it probably is. A few years ago at
the New York Experimental Stntion a
trial was mndo of corn from various
parts of the car. Hather curiously, that
from tho tip end produced tho strongest
nnd best plants, that from the butt'the
next, and that from tho middle of the
car the poorest. All wore equally sound
nnd dry. The explanation seemed to be
that the tip end grains fad room to ex
pand into tho round, full proportions
that this grain naturally produces if
given room. The grains at the butt end
were somewhat compressed, but not so
much so as these in the middle of the
car. where they set so closely as to crowd
caih other. Vi'e have often seen the tips
and butts of corn broken off, and only
the middle used for seed. In fact, wo
have done this ourselves, but this ex
periment by Dr. Sturtevant taught us a
lcson on this subject. In most corn
with poorly fertilized blossoms there are
many ears imperfectly filled out. In
these the grains stand w idely apart and
grow in tine shape. This corn, if it has
been thoroughly dried before freezing,
makes i ctter seed than tho handsome
cars that aro generally selected. Boston

Making liny.
The best quality of hay, everything
considered, is mado in dry but sunless
weather, with little dew, and as little
handling over as is practicable. Too
long exposure to a burning sun renders
the hay brittle, nnd consequently some
of it will be lost in the handling.
Clover hay. it is generally conceded, is
best when the clover was only fairly
wilted before being put in the cock,
there to remain a few days, the cocks, in
tho mean time, to be opened two or three
times.
Experimental evidence largely favors
tho idea that early cut forage is superior
to into cut, not on.y as regards its
chemical composition but its diges
tibility. This is explained by the fact,
that young plants, while in a state of
active growth, contain relatively more
protein and less fibre than do mature
plants.
Professor Armsby, of Wisconsin, says
on the subject : Three elements enter into
tho problem of selecting tho best time
for cutting the grasses, viz., tho quality
of thu fodder, its quantity and the
nmount of la hop PYncmlerl linnn it
of labor expeuded
AVhilo any grass is ripening a largo part
of tho protein and starch passes from the ,
leaves and stem to tho seeds, which are
so small that they are seldom masticated
or digested. Moreover, these aro easily
lot iu curing. The hay made from fully
ripe grass is essentially straw. 1 1 only
one crop is to be obtained, the best time
tor cutting is usually when the plants
are just beginning to blossom. At this
time a larger crop is obtained than if cut
earlier, while the digestibility of the hay
is not materially impaired. If cut early,
there is a great advantage to a secoud
crop. In deciding which ".s tho proper
stuge of growth for cutting grass for hay,
one ought not to forget that a late
growth of the plants nearly to seeding
impairs their strength. Iu case of red
clover, it gieatly inteiferes with the cro;
of seed which is obtained from the
second cutting.
Professor !-auborn'i (of Missouri) ex
periments in feeding hay appear to in
dicate that the value of early cut hav
may have been over-estimated. He says
lesults obtained make it nppearthat, not
only is the amount of hay cut from u
given area larger when cut after bloom
ili.iu w hen cut iu bloom, but the lato cut
hay is most nutritious. Professor Ileal,
Michigan, thinks it very doubtful
whether it it best tocut all forageplauts
at the same stage of udvauccinent. Most
farmers, us a rule, prefer to cut clover
wl.eu a few of the first heads begin to
turn brown. 0:1 mini seuse must be

Much will depend upon theweuther. If
the weather be cloudy with a full of rain
every lew hours, the gnus designed for
hay must be left standing until the
atmosphere Pecoiues dry aguiu,no matter
at what stage of grow th t may be.
Timothy hay is casilyvured, heavy for
U bulk, presents a good appearance and
sutlers less than mnny grassei whet
nllowed to go to seed before cutting.
Professor Sanborn believes that timothy
is worth '.to to 40 per cent, more per acre
for cutting when sullioiently out of
bloom in preference to cutting in bloom
or before blooming. Arw lork orld.

recent i.ot ce thereof, in the London Lancet,
kh that the feature of the congress was the
paper of Ir. ltin, of Honn, and the delmto
that ensued on alcohol as a remedial ngent.
It will lin remenilHM'ed that Hinz. is the
most recent authority and most frequently
quitted as contending lor the value of nleo
hol ns a fool. It is lefreshiiin to hear from
hif own lips a precise expression of h.s views
on mis suti'eet. it m nur. to lie concealed.
that h clings with pivat tenieitv to his
view of the me li inn! value of alcohol, in
which no doubt most phvs cians in varvimr
decrees nro in accord with him. Hut
phvsicinns are not the clas by whom he is
chielly quoted, but rnther by those who lo
lieve in wine for dinner, in nn occasional
dram when you feel like it, and in beer very
frequent I v.
u e therefore cive tee following extract
and call special attention to his use of the
wont "sh k hea ns denoting tho kind of
invalids that may need it:
it. Jiinz set himself to prove: (I) that
Vohol has a vnhie, iv-t repres-ntsd by any
other agent, in heart failure and lung disense;
l-i that it is a SHirmiltel iccimomie factor)
in the organism, liecnu it is consumed
therein: and 1") that it operates as a con
troller of pyrexia nnd fever. On the siek-
oed its virtues nre invaliinlile; Put 111 tho
healthy subject it is ditlicult to define where
its abuse is not felt. For the ninu in irood
henlth needs no stimulation, no artificial
eco-oinizer of enemy .or replaocr of a hitmen,
no depressant of teiiieranieiit. All ttiat can
le proved in favor of nWhol in such a case
is its power of renewing cerebral energy
when lowered ty nientnl work. Kven here
moderation in vcl-watcred alcohol is im
perative, f'r. It nv. further contended that
alcohol consumption between meals. especially
in the form of beer, is a great, ami, in Ger
many, a national evil, practiced as it is in
the stutl'y ntinosphere ot cellars, and that
too, for hours. Not only do the secondary
products of beer exhaust the system and in
duce nn adipose habit, but ti e habitual beer
drinUer is ns much an nlcoho!it ns the
drinker of drams, with this ditrorence, that
he hns net the excuse of the Intter in that
moral wretche lues for which spirits are nn
immediate, though in the long run a fatal
reined v. '
It will thus lie seen that Ttinr. is the last
man to 1 e quoted in favor of any ordinary
ie of fermented or malt liquors, or even in
favor of loose prescription in daily use. He
detinea cloolv the class of cases in which it
may l nee led as a medic. ne. He agrees
with the view that i" reduces temperature, a
fact supported bv the recent c ose investiga
tions of unz. This removes entirely the o'd
defense for alcohol that, it keep out cold and
m ikes up lor defective animal heat. We
have another recent utteranc? of much im
portance liecause it stat"s tho growing senti
ment of medical pi actitioners who have been
close clinical observers of this substance. In
IS, 1 innnv of the most distinmiished medical
men of London expressed their views as to
the Heedlessness of alcohol as a beverage and
as to its overuse in medical prescriptions.
lr. .'. J, It idee, of Enfield, near London.
has recently colle-ted similar testimonies.
A recent eminent authority speaks thus:
"The medical ninu that docs not see that
alcohol is a very two-edged fctol must be ig
norant of the literature of his profession and
destitute of the lowest powers of observa
tion. He must a'so lie uninformed of the
best practice of the lending phvsicians of his
t me. which we may without immo lestv sup-
pfise 10 ue n l etter tune than any anterior
period. When men like Dr. Hughes l'en
nettliavo treated I.'jO enscs of pneumonia
with scarcely any mortality and a very
small amount of alcohol; when men like Pr.
tiainlner to 1 us that fever, especially in the
young, does lietter without alcohol"; when
men like l'r. Wilkstell lis t h it in bronchitis
he has repeate lly seen improvement where a

Lancet, Vol. I, lMiV; p. iiMi ti.ose are
withojji excuse who think its indis
erinnnafls prescription In undefined and
large quantities a light matter. One
other grent improvement in our estimate of
the uses of alcohol is to view it in regard to
the state of the glands and blood-vessels of
the patient. If these are blocked, and if the
owers of elimination are impaired, it can
lie easily understood thnt in more advanced
ng.', when a'c hoi is thought to l more ad
missible or even ne -s-nry, it must be given
with much judgment as to form and dose if
harm is not to be dono."
While we fully maintain the inestimable
value of fermented liquors in certain cases of
disturbed circulation, of impairment of lung
ti-sue, we must strictly hold to the distinc
tion between medicine and beverage, and not
allow the physiological chemist or physician
to t e quoted as authority in a direction
against which he i'uljy protests. Indepen

Ayer's Sarsaparilla Makes The Weak Strong.
jiarilla I could see an improvement in my condition, my appetite
began to return and with it came the ability to digest all the food
taken, my strength improved each day, and after a few months of
faithful attention to your directions, I found myself a well woman,
able to attend to all household duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life, and I cannot thank you too much.

Now is the time to
If there is a "prease spot" on your clothes, stop at the proccr's
on your way home and get a cake of Ivory Soap. Apply it to
the spot with a piece of flannel, wet with hot water; rub well,
then wet a clean place on the flannel and rub again to remove the
soap. If the spot is of long standing, use a nail brush. Ivory
Soap may be safely used upon any cloth, for it will not impair
its strength or change the color.
A WORD OF WARNING
Thero aro many white soaps, each represented to be "just is good as t!i 'Ivory' i"
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities
of the genuine. Ask for " Ivory" Soap and Insist upon getting it.

Liver Complaint and Indigestion
made my life a burden mid came
n ea r ending my existence. For more
than- four years I suffered untold
agony, was reduced almost to a
skeleton, and hardly had strength
enough to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed vie, and
only the ?vost delicate could he
digested at all. Within, the tinw
m en I ion ed several ph ysieian s treated
me without giving relief. Nothing
that I took- seemed to do any perma
nent good until I commenced the use
of .Iyer's Sarsaparilla, which has
jiroduccd wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsa-
use Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
