It seems to be widely distributed and doing serious damage. Its lifo history has not yet been fullv worked out. but there is good evidence that the same insect develops in the leaves of pig- weeu or goose loot. It seems as if it was going to be a difficult pest to fight, as it is not probable that any thing 'can be applied to tho leaves to prevent its attacks. The only reme dies I can now suggest Jare the pick ing on ana destroying ol infected leaves especially in spring and the Keeping down of pigweed, to prevent its breeding iu that.

Q.VU. heaps of fstnbla mnnnra in eunli amounts that it will not freeze through in quite coia weather, and in warm weather will have more or less fermen tation. Undoubtedly some ammonia is liberated in this way, and as the spring rains soak through the manure they carry this ammonia into the soil, making a very vigorous and early growth. This would be all the better probably, if nitrate of soda were sprinkled on the soil insula tl V,rrl The rhubarb plant makes an immense leaf growth, and it is a very gross feeder. The soil cannot be made too rich for it, and especially early in the spring, when the development of ni trogen either in manure or in tho soil goes on very slowly. Those who can get rhubarb to market a few days earlier than their neighbors can get much better prices foi it. Late in the season tho price is always so low that tho crop pays little for the labor re quired in marketing it and for the ex haustion of soil which its growth causes. Boston Cultivator. ; FLOWERS ON THE FARM. I suppose a majority of farmers re gard flowers as useless and unessen tial, but I do not agree, says W. I. Perkins. No farm is so neat, attrac tive and home-like as it might and should be, if it lacks beds of flowers and flowering shrubs. The object of the farm primarily and iundamently is a home, attractive to all, a upot to leave a loving mental impression upon the mind of every child of the family as loug as lifo lasts. Flowers are poetry and refinement and higher culture on the farm. Do not exclude them. There are many attractive annuals and every garden should number a goodly variety; but I would call prin cipal attention to the sweet pea. as I think no other will give such uni- lorin ana continual pleasure and satis faction. The sweet pea has received wonaeriul improvement in the last few years, and covers well nigh every va riety of shade and tint from pure wnite to deep maroon or purpl.qS9 tveryjaenavje.jgptjigg" ' l ;aut tue sweet pea upon a moist spot, where it will not dry up in sum mer.

Farm, Field nnd Fireside. THE POPDLAB AITLE3. It is one of tbe disadvantages of any special culture that fashions are RO changeable. Very rreintlv. fur instance, tbe most popuhir apples in me markets, especially in tue foreipn ones, were Baldwin. Kinar and N'ew. town Pippin. The last two years these oia iavonr.es nave given way to an in terloper, rarely ever heard of before, and now called York Imperial, orplain York. It is essentially an eating ap ple, being sweet, with tender llesh, aud a very beautiful fruit, partly yel lowish, the rest of it a light crimson, splashed with deeper red. The cavity around tho stalk is a greenish russet. As most of the apples consumed in England are eated out of baud, the appearance goes a great way to make auv cood kiud zonular. It may be that iu time we may choote our apples in accordance with the dictum of thedoctoru, as this fruit is really one of tho very best kinds of mediciue. The aoid is extremely healthful, as well ub apreeable, and it is this which makes this fruit such an excellent food. But the popular taste will have its effect on tlm mil.lin choice, aud no ouo may be able to say what will bo the apple of next season. The unsurpassed Newtown, and its near relative, the Albemarle, pippin, have loug been the American apples, essentially so, but the iuferior kinds huve gone ahead of it by fully 82 a barrel. All this is to bo taken into account iu the selection of fruits fur phiuting for market purposes. Now York Times, 11ARDW00O AKHR3. Let no farmer forsake hardwood ashes as a bource of chtnu) available plant food. Many otherJsources of potash have iu lute- years been brought to the attention of the agriculturist j but let it be considered that ashes are ho experimebt. Our fathers aud grandfathers need them before ns, and the fertility of ashes has nourished many generations of men and animals. The soils of New F.ngluud are all potash hungry. No one element is so exhausted. Furthermore, this im portant difference remains, many com mercial fertilizers are compounded by man ; not si in case of ashes, as here nature has done all tho work. Many years ago the tree germinated and grew. It withdrew from our soil what was required for its support. The process continuod indofluitolv, until finally the woodsman felled tho tree. Its wood was burnod. Its ashes, con taining every particle of mineral mat ter the tree had, bavo been carefully gathered up and transported from a distant land to feed tho crops of Now England. This potnsh and phosphotio acid have nil been used bfore in vege table growth. What more simple thing, then, than the fact that this mineral matter is in tho best and most natural form to produce more trees', more fruits, more vegetables and more grasses? Another strong argument for use of ashes is, they are cheap. In the last few years, like other commodities, ashes have boon more and more cheap, so they are altogether within the reach of tho farmer at present. With a bona fide guarantee of dry ashes, cleaned And well screened, of an analysis of 5 per cent, potash of general purity, no hesitation cood be had iu the purchase of hardwood ashes. There is hardly a fiold or a crop of New England that ashes will not mater ially benefit. Massachusetts Plough mau. TOAD FESCE3. It seems to be the general opinion among beekeepers that toads are the enemies of bees, and that if allowed to hove the Tun of the apiary they will destroy large numbers of them, writes lietn Day. homo go so far as to say that toads will sit npou the alighting board of a hive and catch the laden bees as they retnrn to the hive. But toads are nocturnal animals and dur ing the day are usually hidden in dark corners, or under heavy leafage ; aud bees do not gather honey at night. However, bees do,during hot.weather. oome out on the alighting board, and may be found creeping, or rather run ning about there at all hours of the night, where they would bo au easy prey for his toadship, were he disposed to capture them. But whether so dis posed or not, remains with one bee keeper, at least, on open question. I have never yet seen a toad eat either bee or drone, or anything else so large as either. I have never seen one around my hives although there were plenty in both flower and vegetobla gardens, only a few yards away. loads are very intelligent. Where onoe they are fed, or find for them selves tome dainty of which they aro lond, they will go again, ior this reason they are, though shy at first, easily tamed. A medium-sized toad will eat from twenty to thirty good-sized spiders, or from forty to fifty or eveu sixty flies at a single meal. They would, therefore, if they cared to feed upon Dees,, be very destructive in an apiary. But they would also catch the bee moth and its progeny, and would pro bably soon rid the hives of this pest. Toads are beneficiul animals. They destroy countless numbers of bugs, worms, moths, nics, gnats, mosquitoes, oto., and we cannot afford to have them destroyed. To kill unnecessarily is cruel, and the continued killing of helpless crea tures, even though they ore small, has demoralizing and brutalizing effeot. For those, then, who wish to keep toads ont of the apiary, the mjsaLvjioi. L ltoblesjB-UH" 'ttrMTfbst humane way to do so is not to Kill them, but to fence them out. The same fence. though absolutely mouse, snake and duok-proof, will go far toward keep ing these invaders out of the apiary. It is easily and cheaply built, and is simply ten or twelve-inch boards set ou edge in a continuous line around the space to bo enolosed, the ends lopping slightly, aud either nailed to gether or fastened by driving two stokes, one on each side of the lapped ends. Then if the apiarist will watch in the evening, and remove all the toads that may have been feucod in, there will be no further trouble with toads for that season, or at least as long as the fence remains iu place. The ground must bo leveled so that there are no holes under the board through which a toad might crawl. When not iu uso the boards can be stored in a dry place, And can bo used for several seasons.

Well, so tho family physician said, but subsequent events have proved that ho was wrong. Mrs, Kllngler's entlrn lent side was para lyzed. Hhe could not walk acros the room, and tho Angers of her left hand wen' so weak th-it sho could not hold a handkerchief. For weeks, aye months, she lingcrol,a bunion upon her friends. The terrible selgn of lllniyw through whlnh she hnd passed left hernlmrwt totally blind. It was indeed a sad, pathetic case. Then somebody recommended Dr. Will iams' rink Fills tor Pale People. Doubting that they would do his wife any good, hut determined to trythmn, Mr. Kllng lcr bought six boxes of the pills. Now, Mr. Kllnglcr Is a fair man, and he did not expect any Iwnellt from tho first few doses. He persevered and had the final sat isfaction of seeing his wife well woman.

Her pamlyxed side Is now all right. Her left hand is n strong a the other one, and she walks as straight as an arrow. I think thoro Is nothing tho remedy cannot do. "My wife's sight is not yet entirely de stroyed, but wo think, and hope, that by per sistent use of the pills, even this III maybe overcome. Her eyesight since sho has been using the pills is certainly a little bettor. "You must not expect, of course, that ono or two boxes of this or any other remedy will affect a euro. Olvo It a chanoe. My wife trok twenty-two boxes of the pills be fore sho was entirely cured. This represents quite an outlay, but health Is cheap at any price, nnd besides tho treatment is much cheaper than the services of a doctor would be. "Yon can shv for mo that I hear!
