THE TIMES, NEW BLOOM FIELD, PA., MAY 1 J, 1878.
HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
We Invite enmronnlratloiis from nil tron who ar
lntnrestcd In matters properly belonKiiiK to Hub ae
partraHit. To Seare Crows from Corn Fields.
Ve helped a friend set ft crow trap the
other day In the middle of his corn field.
We used an ordinary steel trap, and
baited it with a hen's egg. Boda were
-nlled n n about a foothlch, with a hollow
JllaUV JU 1.11 C llUlivi w uuaavti v--
trance on one side. In this entrance
was placed the trap, and the egg was
laid In the middle of the clump of sods,
so his crowHhlp could not reach it with
out treading on the trap. Of course the
trap, and the chain which held it, were
all covered from sight with dirt. The
crow, upon entering the field, spies
something that looks like a nest, and
he, being fond of eggs, soon has a
whetted appetite, and is not long in
planting a foot right into the trap and
he is caught. His cries soon bring all
the crows for miles to see what the
matter is, and a convention is held.
The result is no more crows in that
field, for a fortnight, at least. Our
friend says that this plan is entirely
successful, as he has tried it for several
years. He always catches the crows
and eaves his corn. Ex.
Why it Pays to Read.
One's physical frame his body his
hands is only machine. It is the mind,
controlling and directing that machine
that gives it power and efficiency. The
successful use of the body depends
wholly upon the mind upon its ability
to direct well. If one ties his arm in a
sling it becomes weak and finally power
less. Keep it in active exercise, and it
acquires vigor and strength, and is dis
ciplined to use this strength as desired.
Just so one's mind; by active exercise
in thinking, planning, studying, ob
serving, it acquires vigor, strength,
power of concentration and direction.
Plainly, then, the man who exercises
his mind in reading and thinking, gives
it increased power and efficiency, and
greater ability to direct the efforts of his
physical frame his work to better re
sults, than he can who merely or main
ly uses his muscles. If a man reads a
book or paper, even one he knows to be
erroneous, it helps him by the eifort to
combat the errors. Of all men, the
farmer, the cultivator, needs to read
more and think more to strengthen
his reasoning powers, so that they may
help out and make more effective, more
profitable, his hard toil. There can be
no doubt that the farmer who supplies
himself with the most reading the most
of other men's thoughts and experiences,
will in the end, if not at once, be the
most successful.
Use Lime Freely.
It is cheap. There is no skill required
to slake it, and when reduced to a liquid
state almost any man or boy, woman or
girl can apply it. In all the range of
- neauu producing and protecting agen
cies lime may be regarded as among the
most potential. It is a disinfectant, a
purifier, a sweetener, capable of counter-
if 1 1 - . ! 1
nuuug luui uuuie aim jwjihuiious tuuius-
pheres. We can recall the time when a
cellar unwhitewasbed would have con
demned the occupant of any house as a
slothful, if not a filthy housekeeper, to
live neighbors with whom would have
been regarded as more afflicting than to
be domiciled next to a haunted house.
Ten cents' worth, judiciously applied in
the cellar and on trees and outbuildings,
will save five dollars' worth of medicine
and twenty dollars' worth of time to a
working man. It's a simple truth, this,
underlying a great principle. Be lavish
then in your application of lime.
Starting In the World.
Many an unwise parent labors hard
and lives sparingly all his life for the
purpose of leaving enough to give his
children a start in the world, as it is
called. Setting a young man afloat with
money left him by his rich relatives is
like tying bladders under the arms of
one who cannot swim ; ten chances to
one he will lose his bladders and go to
the bottom. Teach him to swim and he
will never need the bladders. Give your
child a sound education, and you have
done enough for him. Bee to it that his
morals are pure, his mind cultivated,
and his whole nature made subservient
to laws which govern man, and you
have given him what will be of more
value than the wealth of the Indies.
. 0"A correspondent of a Western paper
details several experiments which show
that when clover sod is turned in May,
after the clover is up some inches, corn
planted thereon is fur less liable to be
troubled by the cut-worm than if the
land were plowed the fall before or early
la spring. The worms feed on the
clover Instead of the corn. Besides, if
the clover is in rank, growing condl
tlon, when turned under, and the roots
i .full of an. it will ha mnre rnttn at. An.
fust than if he plowed earlier, when
' the roots are full of sap.
