. KTTRATK OF SODA FOR TOMATOES.
Three years' experiments with nitrate
of soda by E. B. Voorhecs, of the New
Jersey Station (3.H. 1802), show that for
tomatoes nitrate of soda alone is superior
to either barnyard nmt.uto or mineral
fertilizers, but is less effective than the
complete manure. Ou land previously
liberally fertilized with phosphoric acid
and potash, nitrate soda ued alone, in
small quantities, gave the best and most
profitable results. With the small quan
tity of 16l pounds of nitrate per acre,
the second application was advantage
ous, but 320 pounds per ncro was most
effective. The soils used were a sandy
loam in Southern New Jersey, in a sec
tion ltrgely devoted to raisins; tomatoes
for the earlv msrkets, anil a clay loam in
Northern New Jersey. The maximum
yields of tomatoes seem to depend upon
full supply of immediately availablu

Sheep are infected by a species of
tapeworm which exists in the braiu, but
in its larva stage only. The mature
worm inhabits the dog, and it is due to
the presence of the ilojr that sheep be
come infected. Indeed, both animals
are necessary tc the existence of this pir
asite, which is known as Cirnurin cere
oralis, and also as Uydatus cerebialis,
because it is enclosed in a watery blud
which is found in 1'ie sheep's brain
just under the skull. This creature has
several heads, eBch of which is armed
with a circle of hooks by which it is at
tached to the coering membrane of the
brain, and a tucking disk, by which it
draws in its nutriment. As it increases
in size it causes pressure on tho brain,
the result of which is a disturbance of
the nervous functions and the irregular
movements of the animal, which are
well known to indicate the existence of
the parasite in the sheep. The sheep
turns around on one side or the other as
either side of the brain may be affected
by the injury, oi if tho centre of the
brain is affected the sheep raises its head
and stumbles forward.
The sheep take in the eggs of the
tapeworm thst are discharged by the
dogs on the grass, and these being swal
lowed are hatched in the sheep's stom
ach. The young worms then penetrate
the tissues iuto the veins, by which they
find their wuy to the capillaries of the
brain, where they lodge and grow to
their intermediate stage, often attaining
size oi two indies, including the blad
der and its liquid contents. Some vet
erinarians who have had sufficient ex
perience are able by the symptoms above
mentioned to locate the bladders, and
either puncture them, and so destroy the
worm, when the bladder becomes nb
soibed without injury, or they opeu the
skull by trepanning and remove the in
truder. When a sheep thus diseased
dies, which is the most frequent result,
and the carcass is left to thu dogs, tho
immature worms are swallowed, and ma
ture in the dog, to be voided from time
to time in the usual segments, that are
filled with egijs, and these are picked up
by the sheep. Those under tivo years
old are most subject to the parasite.

I LITTLE PLAOUKS.
i It is a singular fact that the most for
midable enemies ol man are among the
smallest of created things. A devastat
ing storm extending over half a con
tinent, a furious cyclone, an earthquake,
seem more terrible than the work of an
almost microscopic insect; yet the actual
amount of injury done by any ol these
gigantic forces is often of very slight
account compared with tho damage
wrought by one or more of the "inlimtcly
little," but innumerable, hosts that do
their fatal work unheard aud unseeu.
I Consider, for example, what vast mis
chief has been done by the Hessian fly,
the clinch bug, the army worm, the
codlin moth and other pests of the field
and orchard. And sometimes the ut
most efforts of man are utterly without
avail to stay the ravages of these tiny in
vaders. Tkey march across his fields of
waving grain like "an army with ban
ners" and leave a wasto behind. It is,
in fact, the most serious of all agricul
tural problems which is prustnted by
these insect foes. Fight them how we
will they "come up smiling" every few
seasons to plague the farmer's soul and
deplete his pocket.
It is calculated that the Colorado
beetle hat cost the farmers of this couutry
hundreds of uii.Uous of dollars since it
began its eastward march. The clinch
bug has frequently robbed the Western
farmers of $50,000,01)0 in a single year
by its destructive work in the wheat and
corn fields. The depredations of the
wheat weevil have sometimes reached
similar propurtious, aud for a series ol
years absolutely prevented the growing
of wheat in the fertile Genesee Valley,
so long famous for the superior quality
of iU wheat product. The imported
cabbage worm has caused the loss of
millions of dollars' worth of that impor
tant vegetable iu a single year.
And so it comes to pass that the farm
er's life is one of coutiuual warfare to
protect his crcps against these littlo foes,
lis must be diligent iu lighting them.
He cannot "cat the bread of idleness"
when they appear on the scene, or he'il
have no bread of any sort another year.
Nor i it possible for any ono farmer to
do much single handed iu battling in
sect enemies of the multitudinous sorts
that "coiue iu like a Hood'1 and cowe
suddenly. AVoJitary Dutchman could
have accomplished nothing in attempting
to shut out the sea; but when all Holland
took hold of tho work, the proud waves
of old ocean were stayed. It is by co
operation that the ravages of man's In
sect enemies will bo terminated or sub
stantinlly lessened, it at all.
Take, for a familiar example, the cur
rant worm. In some localities, where
this wholesome fruit was formerly
grown in large quantities, it has been
prnotieally given up on account of the
ravages of the worm. Yet this pest is
Suppressed with very littlo trouble by
the prompt application of white- hello
bore. Tho trouble has been that while
ono person would do his duty in sup
pressing the worms on his own bushes,
his next door neighbor would abandon
his to the tender mercies of the worms
which were left to breed in peace for an,
other season's foray on both plantations.
If every cuirnnt grower in a given local
ity would do his whole duty for a sea
son or two or three, perhaps, to make
sure the plague would be suppressed
for a long period.
The same co-operative effort would ac
complish great things with many other
insect pests. Sometimes it is esential
for tho State to undertake tho work, as
in the case of black knot on cherry and
plum trees and the gypsy moth in Mas
sachusetts, lint much might be accom
plished by combined private enterprise.
and it ought to be possible to awaken in
every agricultural community a public
spirit which would make itself effective
for the suppression, so far as possible, of
all the "littlo plagues" that seriously
menace the farmer's prosperity. Now

between wator-ice and sherbet.
Sherbet has, in addition to tho fruit
juice aud water, cither sugar sirup, white

Water-ices, on the contrary, are made
without tho white of egg, sirup or gela

lucent, and what might bo called
"watery" in appetrauce.
Both sherbets nnd water-ices are de

Seeing With One Eye.
A person may see as far with one per
fect eye as with two, but he can not see
as clearly; for the advantage that bino
cular, or double, vision possesses over
monocular or one eyed vision, is Unit the
former, by allowing the observer to catch
sight ol the object from two different
points of view, gives him at once some
idea of thu proportions of its different
purls.
Hut though this is truo in theory, in
practice the judgment interferes and the
judgment has b.eti udtictted and In some
measure rendered independent of the
services of binocular vision, by experi
ence nnd the use of other senses, such
as touch.
Thus a man with only one eyo Is never
deceived ns to the nature of an object
with which he is well acquainted, for the
report ol it that he gets Irom his vision
is coi reeled and supplemented by his ex
perienced judgment and transmitted to
his centers ol consciousness in as perfect
a form ns thst which reaches those of a
ii nn with two eyes.
The advantages of binocular vision
may be thus further illustrated: In
rapidly dipping a pen iuto an inkstand or
putting a stopper iuto a decanter tho one-eyed-man
cannot judge so accurately as
the two-eyed man. Or, again, if we
shut ore eye nnd attempt to plunge the
finger rapidly into the open mouth of a
bottle we arc apt to over-reach or fall
short ol it. Washington Post.
Remedy lor Squeaking Shoes.
"A iiinu who wears squeaky shoes is
worte than a kiss without a mustache
aecompnniiuent," said a modem girl to
a Mail und Kxpress man last night. She
directed her glance toward a young man
who w as crossing a tiled floor. "Some
women know more thau men, and if I
had that young man in my care for ten
minutes I would givo him some good ad
vice. He does not maku much money
and cannot alTord to buy expensive
shoes, and has to be content with ready
made ones.
"Nearly all ready-made shoes squeak,
and the reasou is this: When the inner
and outer souls ure put together there s
generally some grit between them, and
the action of the foot causes the little
pebbles, which are harder than the
leather, to work like the ball bearings
ol a bicycle, and thus the squeak. A
dealer told me a way to remedy this.
When your shoes squeak go to a shoe
maker and have him put a peg in the
middle of the sole and there will be no
more loud proclamations.
"Another thing, wheu you buy a new
pair of shoes and they hurt you, put wa
ter in tbeui aud let it remain for a min
ute, then pour it out, and if your shoes
burn or hurt you after that you can say
1 am wrong. The water tukes all the
natural heat out of the leather, and make
the shoes comfortable." New York
