The Entomologist calls attention to
the fact that European Insectsand weeds
arc naturalized In America with far
more facility than ours are naturalized
there, and even crowd out the Insects
indigenous to us. Thus we have a
native currant worm very much like
the one Imported nearly twenty years
ago from Europe ; hut it has never done
any damage, while already the imported
one has in some places almost stopped
the cultivation of the currant. Our
onion fly does scarcely any harm, while
the imported fly, to which it is closely
allied, does great damage. It is just the
same with the imported hark louse of
the apple tree, and the meal worm beetle.
Among other pests of European origin
are the Hessian fly introduced nearly
one hundred years ago ; the bee moth,
cheese maggot, grain weevil, house-fly,
cockroach and carpet and clothes moths.
Among the weeds are Canada thistle,
mayweed, oxeye daisy, burdock and
chess cheat. In fact, the : weeds the
garden has to contend with are nearly
all European. On the other hand scarce
ly an American noxious weed, plant, or
insect has been successfuly introduced
into Europe. If the potato bug succeeds
in effecting a lodgment on European
shores he will do much to help to
balance the account.
Preservation of Pumpkins.
Pumpkins are valuable as food for
cattle, hogs, &c., and are peculiarly
grateful to milch cows in the winter
season ; but the great difficulty is to
prevent the rot attacking them. With
out presuming to have settled the ques
tion, we venture the following sugges
tions : Before your pumpkins have been
frost-bitten, haul them to an open shed
or barn floor ; keep them in a dry, cool
place until there is danger of their being
frozen , when either cover them thorough
ly with straw, or, what would be perhaps
safer, remove them to a well ventilated
cellar, and keep them through the very
cold weather. They should be placed
upon boards or shelves, and examined
from time to time, and all those that
have become infected should be instantly
made use of.
t Keeping Roots.
To keep roots sound and plump, Mr.
Benjamin P. Ware, of Marblehead, a
successful gardener, cuts olft the fine
roots close to the body, and pares away
the crown of the turnip or beet suffi
ciently to destroy all buds or rudiments
of buds. The thus doctored roots are
then placed in barrels of sand or cover
ed with earth in the cellar to prevent
wilting. Removing the buda and root
lets prevents that corklness so common
with these roots when kept till late in
winter, which is caused by the support
of sprouts and rootlets using up much
of the more tender and edible substance
of the roots. Turnips and beets thus
treated are as nice for the table in late
winter or early spring as when first
harvested.
How to Use a Grindstone.
First Don't waste the stone by run
ning it in water ; but if you do, don't
allow it to stand in water when not In
use, as this will cause a soft place.
Second Wet the stone by dropping
water on it by a pot suspended above
the stone and stop oft the water when
not in use.
Third Don't allow the stone to get
out of order, but keep it perfectly round
by the use of gas pipe or hacker.
Fourth Clean off all greasy tools
before sharpening, as grease, or oil des
troys the grit.
Cold In the Head.
This can he cured at once, if taken
care of at the very beginning. Dissolve
a tablespoon ful of borax in a pint of
hot water; let it stand until it becomes
tepid ; snuff some up the nostrils two
- or three times during the day, or use
the dry powdered borax like snuff,
taking a pinch as often as required. At
night have a handkerchief saturated
with spirits of camphor, place it near
the nostrils, bo as to inhale the fumes
while sleeping.
One Grain of Wheat.
Iu 1873, Mr. Deckar, of Centre county,
found a grain of wheat in a package of
coflee that he hud bought at his village
store. He planted that single grain and
this fall he threshed twenty-nine bushels.
It is a white wheat, very large in the
grain and weighing Blxty-slx pounds to
the bushel. Mr. Deckar calls it the
coffee wheat. He has sown Blxteen acres
this fall all from a single grain in four
years ago.
