My informant. a valued and observing friend of hWral education, whom I shall designate ai "15. C. N.,'" says that the creature, when playing in the sin gle role of a larva, is a nine-sec-mented caterpillar w ith hard, yellowish-red head, the body much re sembling the common "grnb worm." It spends the winter in the loose soil of hazel thickets, and is seldom found except by persons engaged in prepar ing these jungles for farming pur poses. While in his enforced winter sleep, this red headed grub is at tacked by a queer specie of fungus which always, so far as has been ob served, fastens itself in the fold of the eighth segment, about a quarter of an inch from the vent. As spring ap proaches this vegetable germ feels the warmth Wfore it has had any effect upon the sleepy worm, and this is sadly to the grub's disadvantage. Im mediately the fungus begins to grow in two directions; a woody stem starts for sunlight and air, and a corky or pulpy substance begins to fill the skin of the worm. Every leg and fold is filled with the fungus growth; noth ing escapes; it is a clear case of trans formation of animal into vegetable tissue. The stem buds mhen about six inches above ground and bursts into two leaves resembling those of the hickory. St. Louis Republic. HeThnlit She Was in fault.

The safest way to keep potatoes ir to pit them in the prouud nt least eighteen inches deep. This keeps them cool until they are taken iu for the winter. When the potatoes ar3 taken np thry should be exposed to the air, but not to the sun if it can be avoided, for some hours, then heaped in the pits as high at they will stay, which is twenty-four inches for a two foot pit, enough for safety, as iu too large quantities th-y are npt to heat. They are covered with boards placed end wise, one end on the pround to make a sloping roof over them, and straw is thrown over the boards to keep them cool and dry. Whpn the winter comes earth may bo heaped over the straw, which should then be made a foot thick.

This disorder is of ! two kinds dry caked, hard crop and ! the undigested, swollen, Four, watery condition of the contents cf tuia re ceptacle nt times. Kither is bad euouph, and both are fatal to fowl life if not taken seasonably in hand. It is not a nice job to perform, but an un pleasant, though not very difficult, operation to open, cleanse and bcw np the crop thus alTocteiL This is indi gestion simply. The food or water does not pass into the system iu the desired way, but Jod ie in the crop. This ferments, swells, hardens or sours, and death follows if the bird is not relieved. Cut near the top of the crop n slit lengthwise with a shnrp knife, and then turn out the uffeudiiig substance by gently pressing it away with the hand, while nnother person holds the bird firmly upon its side. When all is removed sew up the slit edgea of the crop skin closely with a inull sized needle and tine white silkt- feed spar ingly on 6oft food for thTee or four days, nud generally the hen will re cover. This process is for valuable fowls. With a curumon bird a knock on the head find a swift burial is the least trouble and the best "remedy" for swollen crops, as it is for everv disease thnt is liable to leave the fowl in a delicate condition, requiring nurs ing and care that its value will not guarantee.

The one most common on horses is the Sarcoptes cqui, which burrows little galleries in aud beneath the scarf skin, and in th r. it lays it eggs and the young are hatched, and these proceed to burrow further and in all directions, increasing the irritation us they pro ceed.

The purpose 1 'tOw -c, iL"'yiJtViSrwA xx - w I . HI ft.- v i the hog is to convert feed into pork, and that hog which will produce the most pork out of a given amount of feed is the one wanted. It may cost a little more money to get the best, but it will par in the end. It ia not wise to put corn into a hog that will not make pork out of it, producing only snout antl bristles. . The feed for hogs, if ground, w ill give enough letter results than if fed whole to amply repay the cost of grind ing. Much of the grain is wasted when not ground. The hog eats hur riedly and does not thoroughly masti cate his food, especially where a num ber are together. Consequently, a large portion of the grain paaacs into his stomach in a condition unfit for digestion, and fails to be assimi lated. With properly prepared food the hog will also be kept in a healthier condition. The greatest caivse of in digestion partially masticated grain will be removed and the animal will be stronger aud will fatten more rapidly. Improper food is a source of disease among hogs which is over looked by many farmers. If more at tention were given to the proper preparation of the food for hogs we would have much less disease among the herds. The condition of the pens also has much to do with producing disease. Swine are often kept for months iu places that are absolutely sickening. Sometimes it is in pens knee deep in filth and mud, the stench of which is a downright nuisance to the whole Btirrounding neighborhood. It is no wonder disease among them is so prevalent when their lives must be spent in such places. The hog is, by no means, a natural lover of filth. In his natural state he is cleanly in his habits. It is only when forced to it thnt he becomes the filthy creature often seen. He thrircs best near a clean, sandy stream. Too many hogs should not bo kept in the same pen. When a large num ber are penned together, they are not only more wasteful of their feed, but they are more liable to disease. It will not cost much to divide the pens, increasing tho comfort of tho ani mals, saving feed and promoting healthfulness. Wheat makes an ex cellent feed for hogs. If the price of pork contiunes as high as it is likely to be, Western farmers, who find wheat easy to grow and yet cannot market it for more than fifty cents per bushel, will do well to convert it into pork, as they will thus get bettor value, American Agriculturist.

ITciusekpepera faintly realiia tha danger of an indiscriminate nso of the numerous baking powders nowadays found upon every hand, and which are tirged npon consumer with such per sistency by peddlers and many grocers on account of the big profit made in their sale. Most of these powder are made from sharp and caustic acids and alkalies which burn and intlatno the alimentary organs and ratine indiges tion, heartburn, diarrheal diseases, rtc. Htilphnrtc acid, caustic potash, burnt altiiu, nil are used as gas pro hie ing agents in such baking powder. Most housekeeper are aware of the painful effect produced when these, chemicals aie applied to the external flesh. How much more acute must be their art ion upon the delicate internal membranes! Yet unscrupulous man ufacturers do not hesitate to use them, because they make a very low-cost pow der, nor to urge the use of their pow ders so made, by all kinds of alluring ad vertisements and false representation. All the low priced or so-called cheap baking powders, and all powders sold with a gift or prize, belong to this claas. linking powder made from chem ically pure cream of tartar and bi-rar-bouatr of soda are among the most useful of modern culinary devices. They not only make the preparation of tlner and more delicious cookery possible, but they have added to the digestibility and w holesomeiiesH of our food. Hut baking powder must be romposcti of such pure and whole aonio ingredients or thry must be ta booed entirely. Ur. Edson, Commissioner of Health of New York, in an article in the "Doctor of Hygiene," indicates that the advantages of a good baking pow der nnd the exemption from the dan gers of bad oue iu which the harsh and caustic chemicals are used, are to be secured by the use of lloyal llaking Fowdcr exclusively, nnd he recom mend this to all consumers. "The Royal," he says, "contains nothing but cream of tartar and aotla refined to a chemical purity, which when combined under the influence of heat and moisture produce pure car bonic, or leaveuing, ga. Tho two materials used, cream of lartur aud soda, are jcrfectly harmless even when eaten, but in this preparation they are combined in exact compensating weights, so that when chemical action begin between them in the dough they practically disappear, the substance of both having been taken to form enr-iHiuic-acid gas. " Hence it is, he says, that the Royal linking Powder is the most perfect of all conceivable agents for leavening purposes. It seems almost incredible that any manufacturer or dealer shotild nrgo the sale of baking powders containing in jurious chemicals in place of those of a well-known, ptire and wholesome character simply for tho sake of a few cents a pound great r profit ; but since they do, a few words of warning seem to be necessary.
