    AGRICULTURE.
BRIEF HINTS.
Coal tar, it is said, will drive all the flies out
of a room, by putting a small quantity in any
part of it.
Rats have been completely exterminated by
covering the common steel trap with a white
cloth, smeared with a little butter. The cloth
should be changed every night. For one night
the trap should not be set, as a decoy. As
many as seventy in a week or two are said to
have been caught in this way.
New strawberry beds can be set Out in Au
gust or September—we prefer the latter month.
We also prefer spring to autumn for setting out
beds. Anybody who knows how to raise a bed
of onions, can have strawberries. New begin
ners Oilollid set the plants a foot apart each way
in beds from three to three and half feet
wide, and as long as desired. All strawberries
should be slightly covered in winter, with long
horsemanure. The best -varieties for a crop to
len, le the Triomphe de Gand, Hovey's Seed-.
ling, and Albany Seedling ; and for private
use the White Pine Apple, the highest flavored
of all, should be added, and the Albany drop
ped.
Asparagus beds can be made this and next
montn. • Trench at least two feet; fill with ab
ternate layers of strong stable manure, corn
stalks, old leather, soil, &e. If seed is sown,
cover well. If
_plants are set, place them eight
or ten incites each way, and cover- from two
and a half to three inches. If tiro year old
roots are planted, a small supply of asparagus
may be obtained the second year ; if one year
old plants, in three years ; if the seed is sown,
in four years Asparagus beds should receive
a good coat of manure in November, which.
except the rougher portion, should be forked
'in as early in the spring as the garden can be
entered. This should be followed by a heavy
dressing of salt. Care must, however, be ta
ken, pot to apply the salt to new beds, as it has
been known to kill the young plants.
Okra must be eaten when the pods are about
two inches long. They are then very tender
and fine. They are excellent either stewed or
in soups—we prefer them in the latter. They
Can also be strung up and, dried for winter use
in soups.
Keep your garden clean. The long spell of
moist weather has been a godsend to the weeds,
making it necessary for gardeners to redouble
their efforts to eradicate them.
Scime 'people allow their strawberry beds,
aftet the crop has been removed, to Ail With
weeds, thinking they will do no harm. This is
a great mistake, as the keeping of_them free of
all foreign vegetation, throughout the summer
and autumn, has much to do with the yield the
Ant year,—Germantown Telegraph.
PRESERVING FRUIT.
Prof. Mapes says : "If tomatoes are slightly
R esided and skinned, and put into bottles, and
these set into boiling water for a few minutes,
and corked and sealed, the fruit will keep as
long as desired, and if eaten when first opened,
will have the same taste as when first picked
from the vines."
Our experience is this ; -We pick our toma
toes, wash and peel; then boil slightly and
stir for five or ten minutes, so as to be sure to
expel all the air ; then heat the bottles, and
fill, corking up instantly. If not corked up at
once, end when fell, the contents will settle,
and leave a vacant space. The cork should be
a short one, and pushed down below the level
of the top of the bottle neck—this filled up
with melted sealing wax. This is our mode.—
We have never lost a bottle, nor had the least
change taken place in the fruit. We have kept
it—and generally do—a year, or a. year and a
half, always with perfect success. We have now
a quart bottle filled, which we shall not break
till next summer, when it will be two years old.
We Mee se thought at all of US eProillug. Oys
star cans are equally good, only there will be
a tin taste—not agreeable.
In this process heat drives out the air, and
the glass keeps it out. This preserves the
fruit. But there is some fruit that will not
preserve on account of the fixed air in it.—
Plums are of this nature. Pears, on the other
hand, see readily preserved.
There is another way to preserve fruit, the
air pump. Pump out the air, and your fruit is
safe, regardless of the vacuum in the vessel.
Boil first, then apply the sugar; or heatyour
syrup, and pour over your fruit. This leaves
the taste of the fruit distinct. One thing
more ; use only the purest and beat refined su
gat—sugar without taste, for whatever odor or
flavor there is, goes into the fruit, and will be
tasted.— Valley Farmer.
VINEGAR
This article is one of the most necessary, and
yet we rarely find it of good, or oven passable
quality. By following the rules laid down in
the following recipe, which I have pursued for
many years, and one may 'Make the article on
his own premises : "To eight gallons of clear

into a good cask, shake well a few times, then
add two or three spoonfuls of good yeast cakes.
If in summer, place the cask in the sun ; if in
winter, near the chimney, where it may be
Warm. In ten or fifteen days, add to the li
quor a sheet of brown paper, tern in strips, dip
ped in molasses, and good vinegar will be pro
duced. The paper will, in this way, form what
is called the 'mother,' or 'life of the vine-

HOW TO SELECT ELOIMI.
First, look to the color ; if it is white, with a
yellowish, or straw-colored tint, buy it. If it
is very white, with a bluish cast, or with white
specks in it, refuse it_ Second, ezaiuiue it ad
hesiveness ; wet and knead a little of it between
your fingers ; if it works soft and sticky, it is
poor. Third, throw &little lump of dry flour
against a dry, smooth, perpendicular surface;
if it fills like powder, it is bad. Fourth,
j;queeze some of the flour in your hand ; if it
retains the shape given by the pressure, that,
too, is a good sign. Flour that will stand all
these testa, it is safe to buy. These modes are
given by old lour dation, and they pertain to
a matter that concerns everybody, namely, the
staff of life.
ANOTHER NVA.YTO •'SEAD" BED-BIgGS
If any of your readers need a sure remedy
for bed-bugs, they can have mine, and cleanse
the foulest house of these troublesome vermin
'without expense. They have only to wash
with saZt and water, filling the cracks where
they frequent with salt, and you may look in
vain for them. Balt seems inimical to bed-bugs
and they will not trail through it. I think it
preferable to all "ointments," and the buyer
requires no certificates as to its genuineness.

T LYON'S PURE OHIO CATAWBA.
BRANDY.
THE OHIO CATAWBA BRANDY has, for several
years, been manufactured from the pure jnlot. of 'do
AMERICAN OATAWBA i and ISABELLA GRAPE, and
has attained a rare popularity throughout the West ant
South, where great quantities of this superb article is
sold for MEDICINAL and FAMILY purposes. It not
only equate, but excels the most choice IMPORTED
BRANDIES in PURITY, QUALITY and RICHNESS OF
PLAYGIt, and wherever it had beqn introduced it had
invariably met the most unqualified favor and extended
sale.
The want of really pure Brandy has long been felt in
this country, and the opportunity to procure an article
of such quality as to supersede the sale and use of the
many vile compounds eo often sold under the name of
Brandy i n can be regarded only as a public good.
L. LYON'S CATAWBA BRANDY posaeeses all the
choice qualities of the beat imported liquor, and is posi
tively known to be of PEBBBOT PURITY and of sr-
PBRIOR FLAVOR.
In support of the above statement, we refer to the
certificate of the undermentioned well-known chemists:
. Dr. A. A. Hayeo, Assayer, Boston, Mess.
Dr. James N. Chilton & Co., Chemists, New IfOrk
Dr. James N. Nichols, Analytical Chemist, Boston,
Dr. J. V. F. Blaney & Dr. G. A. Marriner, Analytical
and Consulting Chemists, Chicago, Illinois.
Dr. Cox, Chemist, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Dr. Charles Upham Sheppard, Charleston, S. C.
Messrs. Gentry and Blackwood, Chemists, Tenn.
Dr_ N_ A. Pratt, Savannah, Georgia.
All of whom have analyzed the Brandy and recommem
it as a perfectly pure article and u an invaluable medi
cinal agent.)

this Brandy for the city of Harrisburg and Dauphin cc.
