The caterpillars, which are making their tents earliert hisyearthanusual,owingto the warm spring weather, should be looked alter at once. The simplest and perhaps, on the whole, the best way of getting rid of them is to brush off the nests from the trees as fast as they appear, with a long-handled, conical-shaped brush. Early morning or evening is the time when the entire family may be found at home, so that is the be>t time to destroy the nest. The codling worm, which infests fruit trees throughout the land, should be look ed after at once. There are many ways of getting rid of the pests, but none is believ ed to be better than spraying the tress fre quently with a solution of Paris green. Of the fly species, the Country Gentle man says the horse-fly is the most cruel and bloodthirsty of the entire family. He is armed with a most formidable weapon, which consists of four lancets, so sharp and strong that they will penetrate leather. When not in use they are nicely folded away in a sucker. He makes his appear ance in Jnne, and may often be seen in the vicinity of small streams of water. He is said to subsist in part upon an airy diet, and to pass*his life harmlessly. Xot sothe female, for she is armed with six lancets, with which she bleeds both cattle and horses, and even human beings. She lays her eggs in moist places, and, after they are batched into footless maggots, they make all necessary journeys by stretching and closing the segments of their bodies their heads being supplied by two hooks, by which they get their food. In process of time this maggot goes down into moist earth, where it reposes for some weeks, after which it bursts the pupa case, and comes forth a larg black fly, armed and equipped like its predeoessors. Finely sifted coal ashes are excellent for providing dust baths for poultry. Sharpen up the implements and get every thing in readiness for the wheat harvest. When the flies are very numerous in the atable it indicates that it requires a thorough cleaning. Keep the soil around your pear trees clean the first year, and give an application of wood ashes occasionally. Warm water will not answer for the cowa on a warm day. Shade is also indispensable for stock in the summer season. Wet grass is injurious to young chicks, even in the summer. Do not turn the hen and her brood out until the sun is well np Hens will become lousy now if not provid ed with dust baths and the hen-houses kept clean. Lice propagate very rapidly in worm weather. Keep the soil around the cabbage plants frequently stirred and they will grow faster. W eeds and grass must not be al lowed among cabbages. Sell the young geese in preference to the old ones. Old geese make the best breed ers, are more careful with their young I and give a larger supply of feathers when placked. A solution of a gill of carbolic acid in a bucket of water, sprinkled over the floors and yards of pig-pens will assist in prevent ing bod odors and lessen the number of flies. Water the young celery plants with a solution of a pound ol saltpetre in twenty gallons of water. Thin thmn out if too thick, and use only the strong and stocky plants. It is not too late to set out more sweet potato plants. As the ground is still damp they will get a good start and grow rapid ly. They love plenty of sunshine anil warmth. The black berry is a persistent weed and ft nuisance if ftllowed to secure a stand on a piece of ground where it is not wanted. Every pieoe of root that is cut off makes a new plant. Keep the burdocks down. They delight ii plenty of food, and a plant of burdock will rob the soil for yards around its base. A* fast as they show their shoots above ground they should be chopped oil'. Because the grass can be procured by the cowa now is no reason for omitting any portion of the food at tho bam. The cow ia a producer, and the better she is fed tho larger her yield of milk and butter. i A dead limb on a tree should never be allowed to remain. The sooner the limbs and branches that show signs of decay are eutOff the better. The tree will thrive better, and the new wood on the other por tions of tIM tree mako more growth Now that it has been demonstrated, con trary to what was at first believed, that neking is a complete protection against grape rot, the blue vitriol mixture, recom mended by the U. S. Department of Agri culture, ahould have a fair trial this season. Not that it would bo advisable to omit the sacking, but before putting on the sacks there should be one or two applications of jAe mixture. "Circular No. 9: Treatment idf Black Kot," containing full directions, can be had by addressing a postal card to Hon. Jeremiah M. Rusk, Seerctar}- of .Agriculture, "VTashington, D. C. ROTATION OF CROPS. No system of farming is said to be com plete that does not include gross as ono ot the crops in rotation. Green grass makes more beef, more innk, more wool, and greater growth of young stock than any other food that is allowed, in proportion to coat, as it is most plentiful at a season of the year when the demand of the animals for supplying warmth and repair of waste is at its lowest degree, and also because the animals harvest it themselves by gray in,. it is the grazing of the grass by the animals that reduces the cost, compared with grain or bay, that adds to its value, •nd for this reason the farmer cau afTord to grow grass for his stock alouc. But grass performs another function. It adds to the fertility of the soil. A crop of clover sends it« roots deep down into the subsoil and appropriates food that is far beyond the reach of surface-feeding plalits. This stored fertility, which is just as much beyond the reach of the farmer as though on a ueighl>oring farm, is transmitted to every portion of the plants, and the substance in time find their way back to tho tie Id in the shape of manure. Tho farmer, therefore enriches his field though the agency of clover by bringing from below the fertility of the sabsoil and transfering it to the •oil. But there are other sources of fertility to which clover plants apply, which is the nitrogen of tho soil brought down by the rains as ammonia or nitric acid, and a larg proportion of this nitrogen is stored in the roots, which, when the land is plowed, leaves a large amount of available plant food for the grain crop that may follow. CloTer, however, draws very little nitrogen from the soil itself, as it prefers potash, but it leaves for the next crop a certain food not necessary for itself but highly impor tant for grain. If a piece of land is kept constantly in clover the land becomes "clover sick," thus indicating that, though plaut-food exists that is more suitable for grmin, there is no longer an abundance of that preferred by clover. Hence we find large yields of grain on land formerly oc cupied l>y clover. the land. in the coar>eof a"fow years, by judicious rotation of crops, adapting itself to clover again. By properly rotaiiug crops, makingclov er. wheat, corn, oats and potatoes, follow each other, or by any other preferred sys tem of rotation, the land is given better cultivation, fewer weeds spring up, and the soil is not exhausted of certain elements at the expense of diminishing its fertility, through plentifully provided with other elements. By rotation of crops the loss of the ingredients ofplanttood are more even ly balanced and each crop will yield more than when the land is devoted exclusively to one crop for several successive sea sons.

He determined to demonstiate tho truth of his position by ex periment upon the body of his donkey and, not to be be to severe, began a gradual re duction of forage. To his great disgust just as he had got the allowance down to one straw a day, the donkey died.

When as near success as was the man quoted—on the thirty ninth day—he emulated the donkey by giv ing up the ghost. New York Bazaar. BUTLER? - - !**-A.. We offer three big bargains for this month.

Main St. - - - Butler, Pa. FASHION EMPORIUM. We must confess ourselves completely surprised at the way our goods have been selling. Oa the 6th we opened the largest stock we had ever brought to Butler. On the 20th our shelves were as bare as Mother Hub bard's celebrated cupboard, and necessitated an entire re stocking at once. To-morrow we open the fresh lot, and there is nothiug of the showman's talk about in our warning you to come at once; it is the truth, from the way our goods are selling. Whether we sell because of cheapness, or quality of goodf; wlether because of the quantity to select from or the knowing how to-suit customers: whether from any or all of them, is for your eyes and judgment to decide —that we do the business is not doubted. Just a moment for a word or two on our latest novelties. The newest thing in dress trimmings is the Surah Sash, very wide, and very handsome. We have a fine stock, at moderate prices. They are beautiful. Directoire Hats are being worn a great deal, and they are very becom ing to almost any face and figure. Our stock is unsurpassed and would cer tainly suit the tastes of the most fastidious. Our Gimp and Laces for dress trimmings are quite in keeping with the extent of our stock in other lines. We have everything worth showing. The price, too, is what tells. While never for a moment sacrificing quality to cheapness, (for our reputation is built on this very thing) we endeavor to supply the best in the market at tho most reasonable price.
