There has beea considerable dis- cussion recently as to the best insecti- cide for cabbage. The latest report is from the Pays da Vaud, a bulletin from which says: Among numerous insecticides tried, the best for de- stroying caterpillars on the cabbage were soft soap and pyrethrum and liver of sulphur and soft soap. The last is made by dissolving 800 grams of soap and fifty grams of liver of sulphur in ten liters of water. The cabbage must be repeatedly sprayed, as new caterpillars are hatched ever ¥ day. On account of its corrosive action it is not possible to employ this insecticide on tender plants or on the grape in bloom, but on the cabbage its effect is entirely satistactory. — New York World. SOAP STDS NOT INJURIOUS TO TREES. Soap suds are valuable as a fertil- izer, both for the potash or soda of the soap and the matter which is washed from the skin or clothing. The skin wears quite fast, and the soap dis- solves the exfoliated scales from it, as well as some other animal matter of a nitrogenous character. This soon de- composes and evolves ammonia, as any one may discover by the odor of the waste of the wash tubs if it is kept a few days in the warm weather. Am- monia is one of the most valuable of all fertilizers. If this waste of the household ig gathered in any conveni- ent receptacle and deodorized by means of plaster added to it, or by the addition of some sulphate of iron dis- solved in it, it will make the best Yignid fertilizer for Howers. — New York Times. PREPARING A RAIN TARREL. Though barrels may be used for catching a supply of rain water, if only the best should be selected, yet they will prove bad enough ; so bad, in fact, that every householder should discard them and put in a cistern, which, for a small family, should hold no! less than thirty barrels. “Thousands of housewives with large families ave ob- liged to depend upor the common rain barrel for a supply of soft water for dish washing, scrubbing and the week- ly family washing. An oil barrel, whether kerosene or other oil, is the best for the purpose. Knock out the head and clean out the barrel by scraping with a knife. Throw in some lighted papers, and le} it burn for at least three minutes, c+ until the out- side of the staves feel hot, then throw in water or loose earth to extinguish the flames. Even if the inside be o little charred, there will then be no danger of the oil tainting the water. The oil left in the staves will prevent the expansion and contraction vrhich destroys common barrels.—American Agriculturist. HARDNESS OF BUTTER. The New Hampshire experiment sta- tion has been conducting some experi- ments as to the effects of different foods upon the hardiness of butter, and though the work in this" direction, is not as yet extensive enough to justify the drawing of conclusions, their ex- periments thus far indicate : : That glu- ten meal tends to produce a much softer quality of butter than cornmeal or cottonseed meal, and other things being equal, tendsto lessenghe churna- bility of the butter fat. That with the same cows the hardness depends much more upon the character of the food than upon the nutritive ratio; that nsilage produce a much softer butter than does good hay; but it is also favorable to the flavor and texture -of the butter product; that skimmed milk has a very favorable effect upon the churnability and quality of the butter fat, and in a single trial apparently reversed the general rule that the vola- tile fatty neids deer ease as the period of location advances; that cottonseed meal tends to produce an unusually hard quality of butter, and that cot- tonsced meal and gluten meal might be used together with excellent re- sults ; that contrary to general belief the melting point of butter fat is not a good index of the commercial hard- ness of butter; that while in general a soft butter melts at a lower tempera- ture than a hard batter, there is no - definite relation between melting point and actual hardness; that no relation can be traced between foods and vola- tile fatty acids, except in the case of skim milk ; that usually hardness and volatile acids vary inversely, hardness generally increasing and volatile acids decreasing, as th. period of lactation sdvances.—New York Tribune. FENCE POSTS, Tn actual practice there is but little difference in the durability of posts whether set with the top or bottom end in the ground. The point of greatest decay ig, nine times in ten, about six inches above and below the surface of the ground. This is caused by the continuous changes from mois- ture to dryness, while the part which is far below the surface is not subject to changes, but is nearly always water- soaked, which with many woods acts asa preservative. If any preservative is applied to a post, it should be at a point where it will be near the sur- face of the ground both above and be- low, or, if they are charred, it should be at the point named. In setting posts where the lower end is below the action of frost, the big end should be downward, as then the frost will not have such a leverage in raising it up- ward. A projecting knot left near the lowest portion set in the ground will have the same effect, or a noteh cuttin the side of post near the bottom, in which a flat stone is placed. A hole bored and a wooden pin inserted and lett projecting a few inches will have the same effect, the point being to have a weight of earth above the pro- al frost line. It is a mistake to set posts eight to ten inches in diameter, thinking they will outlast those of a smaller size; for general use, 2 fence post six inches in diameter is more du- rable than one of nine inches in diam- eter, and containing one-half the ma- terial, it takes longer to make the larger excavations. The larger ones are heavier to handle, and if purchased cost far more, with no corresponding benefits to be derived. As to durabil- ity, cedar stands at the head of the list, with oak as second choice. —Amer- ican Agriculturist. COLTS IN THE FALL AND WINTER. The one most important item with colts during the fall and winter is to maintain a vigorous, healthy growth, writes J. N. Shepherd. In doing this it is of course quite an item to lessen the cost as much as possible, but the cost of keeping should never be less- ened at the expense of the growth of the stock. More than any other class of stock, growing colts need plenty-of exercise. In no other way can they make a good growth and development of bone and muscle. They will, in a majority of cases, fatten faster and often will grow more rapidly if kept closely confined, but with colts neither a rapid growth nor fat is as desirable as a good development of bone and muscle. In the fall a good plan is to shelter at night, and feed whatever ration is necessary to keep thrifty,and allow them to run out during the da every dey and as long as the weather will per it. While it is an item to allow them to run out all the time that is possible, it is of no possible advan- tage to expose them to cold or storms. It is usually best to commence feeding them in good season in the fall, giving a light ration at first, and gradually increasing as their condition may re- quire. There are two advantages in this; one is that they can be kept in a good, thrifty condition much easier, and the other is that the change from green to dry food being made gradual- ly will not produce any ill effects. But there will be only a few days during the fall and winter but that it will be desirable to have the colts run out at least two or three hours during the day. On acconnt of their inclinations to romp and play when turned out, a lot should be provided separate from the cows and AY at least where they could have a free run, and there will be no risks of their injuring other stock. Their quarters should be warm and dry—arranged conveniently. so that they ean be fed economically and conveniently. The ration should be largely of goodroughness. Unthreshed oats makes one of the very best rations that can be supplied to growing colts, as it supplies both grain and rough- ness, and the grain supplies the mate- rials most needed by them. Good fodder, with middlings and oil meal, ean be used as a change, with an occa- sional feed of corn to meske up a va- riety. Water regularly and keep salt where they can help themselves. In this way they can be kept growing and thrifty with very little tr ouble, and this with colts is what is necessary.— Nchraska Farmer. FARM AND GARDEN NOTIS. Air-slacked lime is good for galls. Provide the horses with low mangers. Beef scraps are excellent for fatten- ing. ‘With fowls grit takes the place of teeth. v Impure wat cholera. It pays to shock well the corn cut for fodder. Fowls enjoy a change of diet and pay well for it. Never give young chickens water before feeding. Do not try to keep too many varie- ties of poultry. Gather up the sorghum seed to give the poultry this winter. A duck-legged breed of chickens would not be a bad idea. Do not feed your fowls for twenty- four hours before killing. Do not allow the spurs on the roosters to grow too long. Chickens pay better than old fowls which are past their usefulness. Separate the pullets from the eock- erels when three or four months old. Fowls enjoy the dust bath and it heips to keep them free from vermin. It pays well to develop the fast-walk- ing gait of draught and farm horses. er will cause chicken Boiled beets make an excellent, suc- culent food for chickens during the winter. Let every generation of your poultry be an improvement on its prede- Cessors. t is the way your ground is tilled rather than the number of acres that counts. If you have no range for poultry cut a little grass or clover every day for them. ‘Wheat is an excellent food for laying hens. Now that it is cheap layin a good supply. A scrub will hardly pay for the cost of raising, but good draught horses bring good prices. Horses fed on early cut and well cured hay will come out in good con- dition next spring. It is harder to find a first-class road or carriage horse to-day than it: has been for many years. Guinea fowls are said to be excel- lent for driving chicken hawks away when nothing else will.

Then take into consideration the many Sun- day-schools, some of them having an average attendance of 4,000 znd 6,000. So. notwithstanding all that might be | said about the wickedness of Chicago, she will compare favorably with like cities even in Puritan Canada.” ~ A Habit Died Out. The habit of inhaling snuff was so | prevalent fifty years ago, not only with gentlemen but with many elderly ladies, that there were few counting rooms or offices that did not have a huge box supplied with the favorite maccaboy snuff and the sweet smelling bean on the desk, counter or bracket specially arranged for it, and callers would inhale a pinch or two, then draw forth a huge yard square red silk resounding blast. Fortunately, no American then wore a mustache. Men did not carry white linen handker- chiefs, but sometimes used white silk ones in those days. As bad personal habits usually increase, it’s a marvel that this one died out some years ago. < How’s This We otfer One Hundred Dollars Reward for ny case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hai s Catarrn Cure.
