J Tr. AMrickn, of Kpntudty, who Is nn

Lafayette yesterday. When asked for
ome information on the snlijeot ho has
inado a specialty, he saiil : "To study
4ho habits of the moth family yon must
live and prow np with them. Tho fin
est varietios fly by night, and it is
with sorao difficulty that they are
paptnred. Tho usual way is to go out
with a hand net and a pot of stale beer,
sweetened with a quantity of molasses
or sugar. A dash of this mix tin e on
the hark of the tree, whoso leave the
moths feed upon, in tho bait which
lures them to death.
"As soon as they light the net is
sprung over them, and later on they
are asphyxiated by being dropped in
an etherized jar, Bfter which they are
carefully mounted and labeled. I
have a houso built especially for their
propagation and filled with leaves of
their fnvorite. tree. With the enter
pillars crawling to tho right and left
of mo I spend many a night watching
their habits from a rudo cot in ono
corner of tho building. It is quite a
profitable bnsiness, beside? being un
usually instructive. Some of the
Inrgest varieties are tho size of a hum

properly mounted, easily bring 825.

Steamer City of Newport on her
trip to this city from Newport on
Monday had a passenger which es
caped the notice of the purser and
evaded the payment of fare. On the
arrival of the steamer here a peculiar
noise was heard in the paddle box,
and investigation revealed the pres
ence of a very disoonsolnte and ruueh
bedraggled cat, whose appcaranoe gave
conclusive evidence 'hat it had made
the entire trip of thirty miles from
the summer capital in that rather un
pleasant portion of the craft.
It was so wet and discouraged look
ing that its own mother probably
would not have recognized it but of-
ter it had been taken out by remov-
i ing some of the planks and had been
dried it was found to bo the pet feline
of Agent Simmons, of the Newport
end of the line. It didn't look very
happy when it was discovered, but
was soon restored to its equanimity
and rested contentedly on tho boat
and made tho return passage down
the bay in more comfortable quarters.
The cat probably crawled into th
paddle box Sunday whilo the stoamor
was tied to tho wharf at Newport, en
tering through the open space on the
oatside, and was either nnablo to find
its way out or was caught napping

Eolling the meadow, and some'
times the pantnre land, as soon as the
frost leaves the pround in the spring,
is often done by prnetical farmers.
The aetion of frost often throws many
stones to the surface, and when the
pronnd beoomes settled these impedi
ments are thus left in a position to
cause serious ininry to the onttmir atv
paratns of the mowinpr machine. Uiv
on land liable to heavo by action of
frost the snrface soil is left uneven,
many tufts of timothy are nearly
thrown oat of the soil, and these the
roller presses down smooth, not only
insuring a better and more healthy
growth, but leveling the field for the
more economical gathering of the
crop. Fall sown wheat and rye fields
are often benehted by rolling, which
should be done the same day that the
Held is seeded to clover, or soon after,
as the action of the roller, in crush
ing lumps and mellowing the snrface,
makes a good seed bed and covers a
large proportion of tho clover seed.

SHTtltP AND JJATTRK.
Amonfr the manv enriona tliinmi
learned at tho World's Fair was the
fact that tho American Merino sheep
was destined to be subdivided into
types. This suspicion had previously
existed with those who had closely
observed tho tendency to vary from
what was once supposed to be an es
tablirthed and necessary standard. In
tho past these tendencies were ac
counted for by careless breeding and
not always complimentary to the line
of blood and veracity of the breeders.
Here at the Fair, side by side, were
exhibited the same sheep in blood, but
widely different in size, form and
covering. Nature had asserted her
prerogative in spite of register as
sociations, and changed the type of
the books to suit the environment
The fittings were complete ; the pas
turage of the various regions repre
sented were exactly retlected in the
size, vigor and fleece qualities of the
sheep. This was well illustrate 1, and
some curious reflections were in the
minds of all students of Bheep and the
influences of their environments. The
only observations heard from critical
experts were, "What a difference I"
The lessons carried away to be pon
dered over at times of greater leisure
will be prolific of good later on. The
sheep raisers have been copying other
folks in breeding and attempting to
conform nature to types, instead of
studying nature's independence of
theories, standards, and types, and
tnrning this to their own advantage.
It is along these lines that the Ameri
can sheep breeder must study his own
best and possible interests. American

TO GROW THB FINEST TOMATOES.
Select a sandy loam with a southern
exposure. int on welt rotted stable
manure at the rate of ten to fifteen
loads per acre. Plow and harrow
well, so that it may be thoroughly in
corporated with the soil, or in place
of this two or three shovelfuls of rich
compost may be added to each hilL
Sow the seed and sow only that pur
chased from reliable dealers, or saved
from the finest, earliest specimens, in
the hot bed on the 1st of March.
When two inches high transplant into
cold frames three or fonr inches apart.
Be sure to shade and water the plants
until well rooted. Transplant again
when four inches high eight inches
apart. This will make fine, stocky
plants, with strong roots. Of course,
protect the cold frames from frosts or
storms by covering v. n necessary,
but manage to give light and air as
soon as possible after the danger is
over.
By all means be careful not to set
the plants in the open air until all
danger from late frost is over. The
risk is too great and you gain nothing,
as the plants are growing faster. If
properly transplanted, the earth made
"firm" around the stalks, they will be
retarded very little. It is better if
possible to set just before a rain, or,
if this cannot be done, lata in the
afternoon, so that they may have the
coolness of the night to revive in, but
if strong plants are well set they will
wilt but little, and in a day or two
will look as thrifty as ever.
Set the plants four by four feet each
way, with the exception of the dwarf
champion, which will bear three by
three feet. Cultivate both ways with
a horse cultivator. Should an unex
pected froHt occur after settling in the
open ground the plants niuy be saved,
unless very badly frozen, by a thor
ough sprinkling of cold water. We
once saved half an acre by this means ;
but it must be done before sunrise.
In tho north, where frost comes eurly
in tho fall, pull the vines before frost;
throw them in a large pile or piles
and cover with hay or straw. Green
tomatoes, matured enough, will ripen
and repay you for the trouble. Xew

It is said that the Jersey and Guern
sey cows iu their native inlands ure
fed largely w ith parsnips, and whether
such food for luuny generations has
been an importaut element iu form
ing their luadiug characteribties or
not, it is very evident that such food
is very consistent with the develop
ment of the butter-nmkiug cow ; and
it might be well for such of our dairy
men as grow root crops instead of
ensilage to give more attention to this
vegetable. 1'artmips can be grown
with loss troublo than carrots, from
the fact that the plant is larger when
it first comes up, and is more readily
seen and distiuguished from weeds.
After the first weeding there is no
nore particular work to bo douo thuu
with any other hoed crop that is well
tended. The soil should bo deeply
plowed aud enriched and fitted as well
us fur a parsnip bed iu a garden, und
this can be done on a half acre iu the
Weld where a team cau be used as
(jtW'ly tw a small patch cuu be pre
pared by hand. Naturally moist soil
is no objection if it can be made dry
enough to pot the soed in early, and
when it cannot, the seeds are some
times sown in the fall, when the soil
is in good condition, as the plants are
perfectly hardy. Get good aoed, and
do not sow too thickly. The great
drawback with beginners in gTowing
root crops is thoir fear of thinning out
enough. It is one of the hardest
things for them to learn. Whon a man
has made up his mind that he will do
this, it is bettor to sow by machinery
and thin out than to attompt to fret
the proper amount of seed in tho
right place by hand. On rich soil tho
rows should be thirty inches apart,
and the plants not loss than throe
inches apart in the row, and at those
distances we have had the tops form a
dense mass all over the ground. There
are two strong points in favor of pars
nips. They can be loft in the ground
all winter without injnry, and if dug
and put in the collar, where they
wither, they do not lose their taste aa
turnips and beets do. They seem to
retain all the sugar when the water
evaporates. People who have only
grown a few in a crowded bod in the
garden have little idea how large a
parsnip will grow or how large a crop
cau be grown per aero. Three inches
in diameter at the top and a foot long
should be the average size, with good
Cultivation. They are good for any
animal that will eat them, aud can be
made to take the place of potatoes to
a great extent on the family table,

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Lime is good for apple trees.
Plant diseases seldom start in good
soils.
A quick growth is essential in grow
ing crisp, tender vegetables.
Trimming out well is the best remedy
for mildew with apple trees.
Iu growing onions it is the early
sown seed that gives the best results.
There is no advantage in Betting
strawberry plants in ridges, exoept iu
low, wet land.
While it may often be best to culti
vate an old orchard, such cultivation
should be shullow.
Usually it is easier to plant fruit
trees than to give afterward tho care
that is essential to success.
Taking all things into consideration
there is no other fruit bo certain ot
giving a full crop annually as the
strawberry.
