! 112
Dr. Aldricks, of Kentucky, who is an
enthusiastic entomologist, was at the
Xiafayette yesterday. When asked for
some information on the subject he has
made a specialty, he said: "To study
the habits of the moth family you must
live and grow up with them. The fin
est varieties fly by night, and it is
with somo difficulty that they aro
captured. The usual way is togo out
with a hand net and a pot of stale beer,
sweetened with a quantity of molasses
or sugar. A dash of this mixtme on
the bark of the tree, whose loaves the
moths feed upon, is the bait which
lures them to death.
'■As soon as they light the net is
sprung over them, and later on they
are asphyxiated by being dropped in
an etherized jar, after which they are
carefully mounted and labeled. I
have a house built especially for their
propagation and filled with leaves of
their favorite treo. With the cater
pillars crawling to the right and loft
of me I spend many a night watching
their habits from a rude cot in one
corner of the building. It is quite a
profitable business, besides being un
usually instructive. Somo of the
largest varieties are the size of a hum
ming bird, and the rarest kinds, when
properly mounted, easily bring $25.
The Smithsonian Institution at
Washington, D. C. H ,before the fire of
Beveral years ago, had one of the finest
entomological collections in the
world."—Philadelphia Press.

conclusive evidence 'hat it had made

ROLIILNQ MEADOW LAND.
Boiling the meadow, and some
times the pasture land, as soon as the
frost leaves the ground in the spring,
is often done by practical farmers.
The action of frost often throws many
stones to the surface, and when the
ground becomes settled these impedi
ments are thus left in a position to
cause serious injury to the cutting ap
paratus of the mowing machine. Up
on land liable to heave by action of
frost the surface soil is left uneven,
many tufts of timothy aro nearly
thrown out of the soil, and these the
roller presses down smooth, not only
insuring a better and more healthy
growth, but leveling the field for the
more economical gathering of tho
crop. Fall sown wheat and rye fields
are often benefited by rolling, which
should be done the same day that the
field is seeded to clover, or soon after,
as the action of the roller, in crush
ing lumps and mellowing the surface,
makes a good seed bed and covers a
large proportion of the clover seed.—
American Agriculturist.
SHEET AND NATURE.
Among the many curious things
learned at the World's Fair was the
fact that tho American Merino sheep
was destined to be subdivided into
types. This suspicion had previously
existed with those who had closely
observed the tendency to vary from
what was once supposed to be an es
tablished and necessary standard. In
the past these tendencies were ac
counted for by careless breeding and
not always complimentary to the line
of blood and veracity of the breeders.
Here at the Fair, eide by side, were
exhibited the same sheep in blood, but
widely different in size, form and
covering. Nature had asserted her
prerogatives in spite of register as
sociations, and changed the typo of
the books to suit the environments.
The fittings were complete; the pas
turage of the various regions repre
sented were exactly reflected in the
size, vigor and fleece qualities of the
sheep. This was well illustrate 1, and
some curious reflections were in the
minds of all students ot sheep and the
influences of their environments. The
only observations heard front critical
experts ■were, "What a difference!"
The lessons carried away to be pon
dered over at times of greater leisuro
will be prolific of good later on. The
sheep raisers have been copying other
folks in breeding and attempting to
conform nature to types, instead of
studying nature's independence of
theories, standards, and types, and
turning this to their own advantage.
; It is along these lines that the Ameri
, can sheep breeder must study his own
best and possible interests.—American
Farmer.
TO GROW THE FINEST TOMATOES.
Select a sandy loam with a southern
exposure. Put on well rotted stable
manure at the rate of ten to fifteen
loads per acre. Plow and harrow
. well, so that it may bo thoroughly in
corporated with the soil, or in place
of this two or throe shovelfuls of rich
compost may be added to each hill.
Sow tho seed and sow only that pur
chased from reliable dealers, or saved
from the finest, earliest specimens, in
tho hot bed on tho Ist of March.
When two inches high transplant into
cold frames three or four inches apart.
Be sure to shado and water tho plants
until well rooted. Transpluut again
when four inches high eight inches
apart. This will mako tine, stocky
plants, with strong roots. Of course,
protect tho cold frames from frosts or
storms by covering w u necessary,
but manage to give light ami air as
soon as possible after tho danger is
over.
By all means bo careful not to set
the plants in tho open air until ull
danger from late frost is over. Tho
risk is too great and you gaiu nothing,
as the plants aro growing faster. If
properly transplanted, tho earth made
"firm" around the stalks, they will bo
retarded very little. It is better if
possible to set just before a rain, or,
if this cannot bo doue, late iu the
afternoou, so that they may have tho
coolness of tho night to revive iu, but
if strong piauts are well ket they will
wilt but little, aud iu a day or two
will look as thrifty as ever.
Met the plants four by four feet each
way, with the exception of tho dwarf
champion, which will Imar three by
three feet. Cultivate both ways with
a horse cultivator. Should an nuex
pouted frost occur after .■•tiling ill the
open grouud the piauts tuav b<- saved,
unless very badly fro/.eu, by a thor
ough sprinkling ot cold water. We
otiee saved half an acre by this means ;
but it must lie done before sunrise.

is no objection if it can be made dry
enough to put the seed in early, and
when it cannot, the seeds are some
times sown in the fall, when the soil
is in good condition, as the plants are
perfectly hardy. Get good seed, and
do not sow too thickly. The great
drawbaok with beginners in growing
root crops is their fear of thinning out
enough. It is one of the hardest
things for them to learn. When a man
has made up his mind that he will do
this, it is better to sow by machinery
and thin out than to attempt to get
the proper amount of seed in the
right place by hand. On rich soil tho
rows should be thirty inches apart,
and the plants not less than three
inches apart in the row, and at these
distances we have had the tops form a
dense mass all over the ground. There
are two strong points in favor of pars
nips. They can be left in tho ground
all winter without injury, and if dug
and putin the cellar, where they
wither, they do not lose their taste as
turnips and beets do. They seem to
retain all the sugar when the water
evaporates. People who have only
grown a few in a crowded bed in the
garden havo little idea how large a
parsnip will grow or how large a crop
can bo grown per acre. Threo inches
in diameter at the top and a foot long
should bo the average size, with good
cultivation. They are good for any
animal that will eat them, and cau be
made to take the place of potatoes to
a great extent on the family table.—

BONK IOR FOWLS.
Among the necessities of the poultry
breoder is crushed bone, writes B. But
ler in the American Agriculturist.
This comes in three forms : One as a
finely-ground product, called bone
meal; one as a coarser product, the
particles being the size of a plump
grain of wheat, or a bit larger, and
called granulated bone; and one still
coarser, aud sold under the term of
chicken bone or crushed bone. The
feeding values of these three forms are
very similar, though the liner the bone
the more quickly is it taken up by the
system of the fowls. Bone meal is
especially suitable for feeding very
young chickens, aud for use in mixing
with ground grains in mashes and
mixtures. Granulated bone is usually
fed by itself, and is suitable for
chickens two months old and older,
and for grown fowls. Chicken bono is
suitable only for adult fowls.
The use of bone in some form is de
sirablo, in order to furnish the ma
terial out of which the bony structure
is formed. It has, of course, a greater
value for growing chicks than for those
already grown. Fed to the growing
stock, it almost invariably prevents
leg-weakness, an ailment that affects
chickens—especially of the larger
breeds—which have grown toj rapidly.
For old fowls it furnishes the material
needed for tho repair of the bony
structure. Bono also has a value as
grit. It is not the best grit to bo had ;
but for a short time, before the bono
begins to soften, it affords a substance
that helps fowls to grind their other
food. Bono is valuable for laying
hens. In some way the phosphate of
lime in the bone is transformed into
the carbonate of lime which forms tho
shells of the eggs. Hens having plenty
of bone seldom lay eggs with shells, or
with very thin shells. At least, I
know that in my experience tho hens
which have hail free access to bono
have laid eggs with strong shells. I
have observed, also, that the hens
which have had bone as they required
have laid more freely thau those which
lacked it, so that it would appear that
bone was of value as an egg food,
either directly furnishing some of tho
constituents of tho egg, or furnishing
the system with some support that en
abled the fowls to release other con
stituents thut egg production re
quired.
The best way to fed tho bono, if
either granulated or crushed bone is
used, is to fill a small box with it, aud
let the hens eat of it as they wish.
They will not over-eat if the bone is
free from meat, aud uo further care is
necessary thau to replenish the box
from time to time. Hens do uot ap
pear to be very foud of dry boue, ami
wheu it is kept constantly before theiu
will eat it rather slowly. If, however,
the boue has a little meat on it, they
app< ar quite greedy for it. The grecu
bones, ground lu a bone mill, coutaiu
meat, fat aud marrow tu greater or

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
A HOME-MADE BTTO.
Except as it may prove snggontivo
to the managers of old ladies' homes,
this rug story will not prove of special
nse to many of our oity readers. But
there aro by many a country fireside
and by not a few in the city old ladies
and "shut-ins" who welcomo gladly
any use to which they can put the timo
which hangs so heavily on their hands
and any means by which they can add
evor so little to the family exchequer.
The other day in calling upon a
neighbor who had recently come to
my vicinity from an old Massachu
setts town, I saw a rug of marvelous
texture. No oriental rug ever equailed
it in the thickness of its pile, and but
for the extra and somewhat irregular
length of the nap and its rather too
brilliant coloring it might hn /o been
the thickest Ivazac.
I remarked upon its unusual heavi
ness when my hostess said: "That rug
was made by my mother after she was
ninety years old." This led me to ex
amine it more carefully and to inquire
as to the manner of making it.
Remnants of ingrain carpets wore
purchased at carpet houses, of village
upholsterers and carpet layers and
wherever they could be most cheaply
procured. These were raveled, laid in
bunches and cut in lengths of a little
over an inch. Brown carpet warp
was also purchased by the pound.
With a pair of coarse stoel knitting
needles onough stitches were cast onto
make a square of four inches when
finished. After knitting a couple of
rows plain, you knit once across, bind
ing in with each stitch a little bunch
of the ingrain ruvelings which had
been cut into short lengths. Then
knit back, and across and back plain,
when you knit another row, introduc
ing the little bunches of ravelings.
When you havo formed a square bind
off, and when you have a sufficient
number of these squares sew them to
gether with warp very closely and
firmly.
This would be pleasant and not too
laborious work for a semi-invalid, al
though of course the work of sewing,
after the rug became very large, would
be heavy, but for such a result one
could well afford to hiro the sewing
done. The rug which it was my good
fortune to examine was about 11x13
and had been in constant and hard
servico for five years without produc
ing the slightest sign of wear. Every
few months it is hung over a stout
clothes line and well beaten, which
raises the heavy pile and gives it a
new look. By knitting the blocks
small and choosing the colors with a
view to artistic effect a rug could be
produced that need not blush before
the product of any Eastern loom.
The best parts of worn ingrain car
pets might be used where there was a
necessity for strict economy.
