FPIDKIIS IN TnB CONSERVATORY.
We olten heard of red spiders in con
ncction with plant.', and what an amount
of damage is caused by them. But it
should not bo inferred from this that all
spiders are injurious to plants. The so
called red spiders which are harmful to
plants, are not true spiders, but are a
species -of mite small, indeed but
mighty often in numbers and effect.
The true spiders, such as spin visible
webs and are found in dark corners
about building?, are predaceous in their
habits, and livo upon flies and such iu
sects as may prove injurioui to vtgeta
tion. Their presence may not be appre
ciated, because of the prejudice which
many have against them, but they are
friends in the conservatory rather than
foes. They should not bo classed with
the littlo mite known as red spider.

THE BEAT OF A HOTBED.
There is ' one necessary clement of
growth in the germination of seeds (this
will be fully explained on another occa
sion) besides moisture nnd warmth, and
this is air. If a seed is buried too deep
in the soil it does not germinate. This
is a matter of common experience, as
when land is plowed deeply or dug up
from a considerable depth, seeds ger
minate that have laic in the ground for
many years. Almost all seeds contain a
Urge proportion of oil, and this is a pro
vision of nature for their preservation.
This oil resists decay and prevents rot
ting of the seeds. The manure from an
old hotbed spread out on the surface of
the ground the next spring will almost
always produce many weeds, and espec
ially grass and clover, the seeds of which
have remained sound in it from the year
before. The same is true of aauuro
heaps a year old. New York Timet.
COUNTRY BEEF CLtBS.
Wo used to be foolish enough, in this
neighborhood Philadelphia, Mo. to
cell all our nice fat beef to the butcher
for city people to eat, and we would eat
old salty bacon) except late in the inll
we would kill our winter beef. That
way is changed now. We have, in this
neighborhood and other neighborhoods
in this county, organized beef clubs,
which annually kill tifty t sixty beeves,
inside of a rad'.u9 of eight miles, before
freezing weather comes. Usually eight
persons or families agree to furnish a
yearling heifer. Then some one is
chosen or agrees to do the killing, divid
ing aud keeping of books, and is paid
by the club $1.25 to $1.50 for each beef
killed and thus divided. If, in case one
eighth of a beef is too much for one
family, they either tell part or take iu
unother partner. We begin killing
about tho middle of September, or as
soon as nights are cool enough thor
oughly to cool off the beef. We kill
yearling heifers because they make bet
ter beef than steers, and aro not worth
as much money. Heifers sell at two
centa and two and one-quarter cents per
pound, gross. That makes our beef net
us four to four and one-half cents, and
gives us a chance to get rid of all bad

POTATO VUiE B0n.RU.
In the past five or six years there has
appeared in this section, writes Dr. A.
G. Chose. of Kansas, an enemy of the po
tato that is seriously affecting the yield.
It is a borer, about an inch and a quar
ter long by two Hues in diameter, pink
ish brown on the back, with a light yel
low, narrow stripe on the sides. Indeed,
I think there may be more than one kind
of these borers, although I have never
found but this one in the potato; but I
have found another aud dillerent worm in
squash and pumpkin-vines and in the
common "cureless'1 or hog weed, as it is
often called. In the potato vine they
do their work chiefly from tho middle
of June to July 10. They generally enter
a few inches above the ground and work
up and down, hollowing out the pith
aud pushing their chips out through
the entrance hole, like the hickory and
other wood borers, aud the vine soon dies.
With the early crop of potatoes their
work does little damage, but second early
aud late unlet very late he reduce
the yield from one-fourth to one-half,
by checking the growth. In my potatoes
this year every third or fourth hill had
a borer, aud many of the vine were
dead August 1 that ought to have been
in vigorous growth. I am not an entomol
ogist to recognize the moth, or to hatch
the worm. I have thought that two or
three sprayings of the vines with Paris
green might prevent the layiug of the
egg; or, whut is more probable, two or
three thorough dustings with insect pow
der, but I have not tried either. Anur

TJ1R HESSIAN FLY.
The Hcjmuu fly has moro or les? in
fested the wheat fields of many of the
States during u period exceeding 100
years. It is nu imported insect aud its in
troduction about the time of the lauding
of the Hessian troops iu Huvolutiouury
times has led to its name.
Professor V. M. Webster.now consult
ing entomologist at the Ohio Station, do
scribes the iuscct as a small two-wiuged
fly about ooe-eightu of an inch long and
of a dusky color, appearing during May
aud Juuu aud aaiu in September and
October. The eggs aro deposited on the
I'pper side of the leaves and tlu youug
as soon as they hatch make their way
down the plant behind the sheuth to near
the lower joint and there become im
bedded iu the soft part of the stem. Here
they pass t'ue winter aud summer; iu the
former case iu t'-iu young wheat, amj
the latter case in the stubble. The adults
appear and tho eggs are deposited at
dates varying with the latitude, being
earlier in tho fall to the northward and
later to the southward. After the fly
has gained possession of a field no reme
dy is known that will destroy it.
Among the preventive measures aro
burning the stubble, late sowing and ro
tation of crops. The idea of late sowing
is to retard the plants so that they do
not appear until after the greater part of
the fall brood of flies have appeared and
died, when, if sown with fertilizers, the
plants may overcome the offoct of this de
lay beforo wintor closes in. Pasturing
early sown wheat in the fall may destroy
many of the maggots and egs.
This insect sutlers much from the at

Riley, of the Department of Agriculture,
ha, during the year,importcd from Eng.
landa foreign species of theso parasites,
soino of which, by his instruction, have
been turned loose in tho fields in the vi
cinity of Columbus, with the hope that
they will become established in the State.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Don't unnecessarily expose the horse
to storms and wind.
It is believed that there is danger in
breeding from blind mares.
Save the best bay for the season when
your horse will have to wurk hardest.
The best poultry breed is the ono you
have tested aud tried and is best adapted
to your purpose.
Two by four-inch scantlings placed
two feet from tho ground or floor make
perchoj for fowls.'
Pekin ducks are easily raised, . grow
rapidly, and make flesh twice as fast as
a fast-growing chicken.
A breed generally has only one dom
inant talent and seldom excels in moro
than one characteristic. '
By kesping fowls through the winter
in good condition their usefulness in the
spring is greatly increased.
It is estimated by good authority that
good average comb will yield from sixty
to eighty per cent, pure beeswax.
Put away your surplus beo supplies
where moth will not destroy empty
combs and they should be kept in a dry
place.
Tho ignorant 'hoss doctor"' should
be given a wide berth. The educated
veterinarian knows little enough about
his dumb patients.
. In all cases of fistulu or poll-evil, it is
well to give a constitutional as well as
local treatment. A sore like these must
affect tho blood more or less.
It docs a team no good to let it stand
tied to a hitching-post,with the thermom
eter ten decrees below zero, ua opinioa
which everybody will endorse.
It is reported that there are in the
United States 10,000 bee-keepers having
500 colonies. A very prominont bee
keeper seems to doubt the statement.
Poultry raising as an exclusive business
has only in exceptional cases proved a
success; the principal dependence for
both eggs and poultry is upon the
farmer.
There are ringbones that cannot be
cured, unless a skillel veterinarian exam
ines the case; however, there is no way
to tell that, except by trying tho usual
remedies of blistering and firing.
A reliance on old and tried varieties ot
fruits is the proper thing for a novice in
fruit culture. Many of those old fruits
are as prolific and profitable as they were
a generation ago. Let the scientists and
the nurserymen do the experimenting.
Treat the dog well if you are deter
mined to keep him. Feed him such
foods as will satisfy the whole system.
We have little doubt that soino dogs are
led to kill sheep because the systom
craves for nourishment that it does not
get.
Thoro's not a farm where ffrain has
been fed, especially cotton or linseed
meal, but the evidence may be read in
the fertility of tho soil. These grains
are so rich in plant food that the ani
mals take but a small per cent, in its
passage through the body.
If you know that dam and sire are
without weaknesses, we would say to a
correspondent, there is no danger in
close inbreeding. The trouble is that it
is difficult to know that. It is not to be
forgotten that our improved breods ate
largely the result of inbreeding.
Some men will plow and work around
a bowlder for half a lifetime. The
cheapest way to dispose of it, if it is too
largo to be hauled oil, Is to dig a pit and
topple It over Into it. We have seen
many an unsightly, bothersome stone
effectually disposed of in this way.
Pigs cannot bo grown profitably on
whey alone, but when fed with cornmeal
and shorts there is a marked saving.
Seven pounds of whey about equal one of
cornmeal when they are fed together, and
therefore when the former is worth twelve
dollars per tim whoy is worth eight cents
per hunurca.
A growing hog will, if of good breed,
increase fully one pound in weight every
cay of its life. If it does this it is
pretty sure to leave a profit over cost of
seeding aside from its addition to tho
manure pile. If it does not, dispose of
it in some way, and get pigs that will do
this. There are several breeds that can
be fed with profit and the grades of
these for feeding are as good as the pure
blood.
Match Heads for Percussion Caps.
A countryman in Tenneisee, where
forests and game are plenty, found that
his boys, who all have a gun apiece, be
came short of percussion caps a few days
ago, and the first thing he knew they
were shootiug with match heads as a
substitute. How mauy boxes of matches
ho bud lost in that way he did not suy,
but he louud they nred as clear as the
cup itself. It is said that necessity is the
muther of invention. Here is a chance
for some rouu to make a fortune by get
ting out a "ne-.v pitent." All that is
necessary is to adapt the gunlock to the
"match head." The patent would be

In a recent article, entitled "Hope for the

"A man may have ceased to realize the

forgotten the very taste of the thing that
once he loved, and yet be ts safe only as he
trusts a stronger power than his own. He
is on terribly treacherous ground when he

"We regret a tendency manifested In some

successful remedy can be found or has been
found for the disease, we should be glad to
see it thoroughly tested. Hut the details of
the treatment should invariably be made

should be taught to seek divine forgiveness
for tiie same and to implore divine power to

men have not only been kept themselves, but
they have been useful in loading others out
ot bondage into liberty, even the liberty of
the children of God."
DRINK AND DSATH.
In a general way all know that strong
driuk shortens life, and individual instances
of death ibduced by alcohol are abuudant;
but the extent of its ravages is only dimly
seen. Dr. N. S. Davis, formerly President
of the American Medical Association, cites
the following facts:
"Iu 1T57-8 the distillation of liquor was
stopped in Encland, on account ot scarcity
of grain for three years, and the mortality
in London decreased 8793 deaths in ono
year. In 1780 distillation was resumed
when deaths increased in one year 1'iW. In
1713 an increase in the consumption of
spirits was attended by an increase of 1453
deaths. In VfKi, there being a scarcity of
grain, distillation was suspendes and the
mortality in London decreased 1801 in one
year. The mortality which had increased
i!4,U6S in 1800 on account of increased dls
tistillation, decreased as distillation de
creased.
"The statistics of the rise and fall of the
number of deaths in loniloo," says an
eminent physician, "established the fact
that the mortality of a people will increase
or decrease in proportion as the consump
tion of alcohollo liquors is augmented or
diminished."
As a measure of publie health the whole
liquor business from beginning to end Bhould
be stopped. It should be quarantined like
small-pox, it should wear a danger sign Ilk
diphtheria, it should be stamped out like
leprosy; it should be restricted, prohibited,

A TOTAL ABSTINENCE PIONKEB.
Rev. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler, in a recant
article In the Christian Ailvor.attot New
York City, upon "Tne Early Days of the
Total Abstinence Roform," pays this tribute
to the memory of the great Catholic Total
Abstinence pioneer, Father Mathe;
"During the year after my graduation from
Priuc.-ton College I vislte 1 Scotland, and on
reaching Edinburgh I found the teetotalers
of that city preparing to go over to Ulosgow
to give a welcome to Father Mat hew. He
was making his first visit to the laud where
the religion of John Knox has baen so often
drowned out by the whisky of poet Burns.
Arriving in Glasgow we found a multitude
of over fifty tbousun I pe ple assembled on
the green. In an open barouche, drawn by
four horses, ktoo 1 a short, vtout Irishman,
with a handsome, benevolent countenance,
attired in a long black cott( a silver medal
hung upon his oreast. The crowd surged
around his carriage, many of them striving
to grasp his baud or even to tnucn his cloth
ing; for the numlwr of Catholic Irish in
Glasgow was even then very large. After
the procession had forced its way through
the densely thronged streets, it halted in an
open fipiare. Father Mnthew began toad
minister the pledge, which was read out to
the people, who kneeled before hiiu on the
ground in platoons. Uathew laid bis hands
on each one, and pronounced his priestly
benediction; over the necks of many a small
medal was hung. In this lunld manner the
teetotalnr pledge was administered to many
hundreds within an hour, aud fresh crowds
came forward. V hen I was introduced to
the good man as an American, he put his
arm on my shoulder aud said: 'Uoi bless
you, my son'1 aud gave lue a kiss. As I wa
about to make the first uublic temperance
speech of my life (in the Ulasgow City Mull),
I suppose that I may regard that act of the
great Irish apostle as a sort of ordination
to the ministry ot preaching the sound gos
pel of total atjstinence. Father Mathew's

"August
Flower"
Mr. Lorenzo F. Sleeper is very
well known to the citizens of Apple
ton, Me., and neighborhood. He
says: " Eight years ago I was taken
" sick, and suffered as no one but a
" dyspeptic can. I then bep-in tak
" ing August Flower. At that time
"I was a great sufferer. Every
" thing I ate distressed me so that 1
"had to throw it up. Then in a
" few moments that horrid distress
" would come on and I would have
" to eat and suffer
Forthat "again. I took a
i. .j " little of your med-
Horrid "icine, and felt much
Stomach "better, and after
"taking a little more
Feeling. " August Flower my
" Dyspepsia disap
"peared, and since that time I
" have never had the first sign of it.
" I can eat anything without the
" least fear of distress. I wish all
" that are afflicted with that terrible
" disease or the troubles caused by
"it would try August Flower, as I
" am satisfied there is no medicine
"equal to it." 9

My little girl suffered for three years from a large Abscess on her hip, the resuu of a
fall and dislocation. The Abscess was large, with six openings, all of which discharged

finished the Abscess was entirely healed, and the child was well and hippy. Mrs. J. A.

womnn'i suffering and woman'
weakness. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription puts a stop to it. It's
a remedy for all the delicate de
rangements and disorders that mako
her suffer, and a euro for all tho dis
eases and disturbances that make
her weak. It's a legitimate medi
cine, thai corrects and cures ; a
tonio that invigorates and builds
np; a nervine that soothes and
strengthens. For bearing - down
pains, displacements, all the func
tional irregularities peculiar to the
sex, it's a safe and certain remedy.
Other medicines claim to enre?
That's true. But they don't claim
to do this: if tho Favorite Pre
scription fails to give satisfaction,
in any case for which it's recom
mended, tho money paid for it is
refunded.
Judge for yourself which is likely
to be tho better medicine.
And think whether something els
offered by tho dealer is likely to be
"just as good."
You pay only for the good you get.
On these terms it's tho cheapest.
