EARTH WORMS IN FOWER POTS. \ Sometimes hocticullural troubles seem to bo epidemic, and we have a succession of let ters all of the same purport, as is now the case with reference to the common Earth or Angleworm in flower pots. There is a diff erence of opinion in regard to the food of worms, some claiming"that they actually eat the loots of plants, while others hold that they live upon the decaying matter contained in the soil. Whichever may be the case, there is no doubt that tliey do much mjury to potted plants ; in passing through the soil in all directions they not only perforate it with small channels, but they so compact it that it is difficult to water a plant- thorough ly, as the water will run off by the worm holes before the mass becomes wetted thro'. Worms should be kept from entering the pots, and those already in tbetn should be removed. Those,who, in taking op plants, use common garden soil for potting,are quite apt to introduce the trouble themselves.— Potting soil should be prepared beforehand tDd frequently worked over, during which operation the worms may be seen and picked out. Worms frequently enter pots that are set out doors for the summer, or are plunged in the borders. We have frequently caution ed against this in our "Notes for the month." The pots should be set on a layer of coal ashes, and when they are plunged, a quantity of ashes should be placed in the bottom of the hole made for the reception of the pot. When a pot is infested by them, it is not vety difficult to remove them. Wc have found that if the earth is allowed to get so dry as may be without injury to the plant, the wcrms will usually collect together.piob ably attracted by the moisture, of one anoth er, at the bottom or sides of the pot. Ey turning the ball of earth out of the pot they may be removed. This turning out the earth from a pot seems to those who never practic ed it, a difficult operation as well as one dan gerous to the plant. It is very easily done, and will not disturb the growth of any but very recently potted plants, in which case the roots have not sufficiently permeated the the earth to hold it together in a ball. Spread the fingers of the left hand over the surface of the earth, invert the pot, and hold it in the right band ; theu give the edge cf the pot a alight downward rap upon the edge of a table or the like, and out will come the ball, which must be carefully received in the left Land.— A few pickings in this way, will soon free the pots of worms. Where the trouble occurs with plants in boxes or in tubs, 6ome other means must be resorted to. An infusion of soot is very disagreeable to them and will drive them to the surface ; this, to many plants, will act as a manure. Lime water will kill the worms; it is made by slaking a lump of lime of the size of one's fist and stiring it in a pailful of water. When the liquid has become perfectly clear, it may bo used in moderate quantity upon the >arth containing robust shrubs. We have no ex perience in its use upon tender plants, and that must be a matter of experiment.— Amer icun Agriculturist. GOOD SUGGESTIONS. The advice contained in the following par agraphs is from an experienced poultry raiser who made both money and reputation, by following this branch of domestic industry.— Suggestions, if followed, will enable those who raise poultry to keep young and profitas ble fowls instead of a great number of old and feeble fowls, which are not worth the food they consume. A pullet hatched early in the spring begins to lay at the approach of winter, and pullets hatched late in the summer begin to lay in the ensuing spring, and it is by saving a cer tain proportion of pnllets from the early and late broods, that you make sure of wiuter eggs, a few very early hatched chickens for catching the highest markets,and a numerous flock of ch'ckcns in the warm months, when rearing is least precarious. The hen continues io her prime for two, and, at most, three years ; therefore, save every year pullets equal to a third of your brood stock, selling of at a trifling price the same number of aged hens, or offering them op in a stewed dish or well baked pie. llow ever, I hate no scruple about keeping a heavy symmetrically made, splendidly feathered "partlet," for four years, for fhe sake of her stock. Many farmers grumble about their poultry, from not prying attention to such a simple matter as their not looking over their brood stock once a year, drafting all the old dames, known by the developed scales on tbeir legs, and reserving from the market basket the most promising young pullets raised during the season. A NEW CEMENT AND BUILDING MATERIAL. —ID A communication to the French Academy of Sciences, M. Sorel describes a new cement being a basic hydrated oxychloride of mag nesium. It is obtained by slacking magnesia with a solution of choloride of magnesium in a more or less concentrated stale. The dens er the solution, the harder it becomes on drying. This magnesium cement is the whitest and hardest of all those known to this day, and it can be moulded like plaster —in which case, the cat acquires the hards ness of marble. It will take any color, and has been used by the inventor for mosaics, imitations of ivorj, billiard halls, etc. The new cement possesses the agglutinative pro* pcrty in the highest degree : so that solid masses may be made with it, at a very low cost, by mixing it upon a large scale with substances of little value. One part of mag nesia may be incorporated with upwards of twenty parts of sand, limestone, and other cements will hardly admit of the incorporas tion of two ar thre times their weight of ex traneous matter.
