THE omzßN
MISCELIvANEOI'S-
Farm and Garden.
THE SEASON FOR INSECT PESTS.
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,

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.

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. Remember that
